]. WALL WRITES
NOW in AUSTRIA
VOLT MAN TRAVELLING IN
EUROPE HAS INTER
ESTiNG TRIP

A. j. Wall of Volt, who left re
Gently on a trip to Austria, has
written an interesting letter to
the First State Bank, which The
Herald is glad to have the OPP
portunity of publishing. The letter
was written on July 4 from vi
emma and was received last week.
Mr.. Wall says:
Dear Friends: We are now IN
Austria. The trip has been very
good to here. The people in this
country drink much beer. Harvest
is on. It's all cut and bound by
hand, hauled home with cows or
oxen. seldom a horse and never a
truck. From eight to fifteen men
and women work in a field OF half
an acre to an acre. and they think
they are working hard. In Eng
land, Niederland, Holland and
Germany it is mostly the same.
They plant a little rye, oats. po-
tatoes and COW beets, altogether
not more than two acres. | have
see only two self b%ir}1ers so
far. 1t is hard to believe.
The eating is different in each
country SO we have to learn. You
cannot change the country. Din
ner and supper no coffee or wa
ter, only beer or wine. But a little
tip sometimes does wonders. The
trains are much smaller, but run
lust as fast as our trains. One
Of our best suit cases vas taken
away from us in Munchen, Ger
many. We reported it and were
told: "You viii get it back, don't
know how soon" We gave them
our name ond the hotel where we
wanted to stay over night We
went to bed a little excited, think
.ng sure never to g our best
films and some money
But the next morning as
We came down and looked at the
'front.' door, there was our suit
case. | asked the hotel man where
t came from. They said Have
got it?" j told them, Its at
he front door" One man went
nut right away, l think to tell
he police that the suit case had
returned. They did not take
Lnything for it. j call that real
detective work.
In all the countries we anne
through there were very many
,eople out of work. There seems
o be something in the air
,mongst the working people.

INSPECTION
NOT FOR THIS STILL

A man whose name Is salu 10
he John Sitter was arrested on
the %Southside Wednesday on a
liquor charge. A still was captur-
ed Monday near his home. A well
defined path led from his home
to the still officers say, and there
was a quantity of liquor in the
house. Moreover, there was a To-
gauge shotgun in the house and
shells which would fit the gun
we're found in the dugout still.
The paraphernalia of the still
was destroyed by Superintendent
Eggers force. Martin Mitchell said
that in one of the barrels they
destroyed there was a quantity OF
dead flies and rubbish of n
sort or another on the top of the
contents of the barrel and that
when the stuff was emptied out a
dead mouse came to light. OF
such is the stuff of which some
moonshine is made.

OPPOSE LEADER

When Alexander Legge took

created Federal Farm Board, he
stipulated that he should not be
obligated TO more than one
year." an editorial in the st. Paul
Pioneer Press says. THAT year
has expired, and now he has
been re-appointed and agrees to
continue public service. There is
bigger and harder work ahead of
Mr.. Legge than anything he has
experienced in the past period of
organizing a new government un-
dertaking and experimenting in
untried fields.
His second year starts with
wheat falling below one dollar a
bushel at the terminals and the
first of the new 1880 winter wheat
crop rolling into Chicago from
the Southwest to pile on top of
the enormous carry-over. Govern
ment reports indicate another
large wheat yield of winter wheat
in the United States, only eight
per cent down from last year;
favorable conditions for spring
wheat in the Northwest and Can
ada, and probabilities of no great
decrease in European countries.
With this prospect ahead, both
farmers and Farm Board need the
services of the energetic,
full and fearless Alexander Legge.

a $3.50 rifle, saving one bullet
which he sent into his own brain

Trouble had been brewing in
the Richards family for some time,
relatives stated. Richards had
been employed as a farm hand
by a neighbor while his wife and
baby lived in a nearby shack.

brought them to their home as
