Newspaper I~naccuracy

OaazelCOn independently
folks often wonder why a newspaper sometimes gets
the facts of a story twisted, and they cuss the editor for
not getting things just exactly straight. Our experience
Is that the reason Is often because folks do not give the
facts to the editor straight. Here are two instances Of
twisting the facts In Hazelton a few items:
Some years ago, in the days Of the old Emmons County
Republican, a number Of geese were stolen. Before the
editor had heard of the incident, a fellow came rushing
IN and IN excited tones told us that he had found a bunch
OF geese corralled In his basement, and he couldn't ina
CINE who had showed all those geese down through his
basement window. He had Immediately turned them
out to find their home. The editor upon cruising around
found the geese had been stolen during the night, and
the owner was glad to have found them so easily. As q
matter of fact, the boys had been out" that night, it
was learned a few years later, and had themselves stolen
the geese and showed them down into the basement, but
next morning this fellow. began to think things over. He
knew it might go hard with him and the rest of the
boys" II they were discovered, so he invented the yarn
and told 1t to the editor. It's a closed incident and
50 no names need be mentioned. A few years ago the
fire bell rang one night and it was found q store was on
fire. One man who lived ten miles out In the country
was the first one at the fire. When asked how he hap
pened to get in so quickly he said it was a very still
night and the tones of the fire bell carried clear and
distinct over the prairies. He heard the very first stroke,
jumped out of bed, into his clothes, into the fivver
and stepped on the gas. Result-the first one to the
fire. AS a matter of fact he and a few Of the boys
were only 9 few doors away playing poker. And there
you are. How can you expect the editor to get all the
facts right on the jump?

SAVING THE EYEsIGHT

Those who are trying to build up
strength must avoid eyestrain. The
eyes use up more nervous energy
than any other organ in the body, and
for this reason eyestrain wastes VI
tally quickly.
Such disorders as stomach trouble,
headache and nervousness are but q
few Of the ways in which your eyes
affect your whole system II they con-
tinually drain your energy.
Eyestrain and fatigue go hand in
hand. When your eyes tire easily,
smart, blur, Or the lids feel weighted
down, nature is giving you q friendly
signal that your eyes are abused and
need a rest. y
Other symptoms Of eyestrain are:
severe aches over and in back Of eye
balls, sometimes q dull ache IN the
back of the head Or neck. The lids
may become tender and edges red and
feel as though particles were under
the lid, the eyes become o~versensitlve
to bright lights, and pain at the end
Of the day.
Many people become SO USED 70
having tired eyes that they squint
without knowing it and do not realize
that their eyes need help. It has
been estimated that 80 per cent OF
the people suffer from eye trouble at
some time in their lives. It IS inpO;-
sible for one suffering from eye
trouble to see in q normal, relaxed
way, and although many people are
able to struggle along by strailsing
their eyes, the final result Is injury to
their health. They may endanger not
only their own lives but those of
others If they drive automobiles. as
they are unable to see exactly where
they are going or to estimate Gls-
tances correctly.
Modern eyes are profoundly over
worked. Nature no doubt originally
meant man to live outdoors and look
over great distances, but now most
people have to make their living by
close work which demands constant
concentration on the part Of the tiny
eye muscles, and after eight hours Of
punishment during the day the eyes

occasionally there happens to be a man who is sincerely
Tor the cooperative Of which he is a member, but in
this section of the state it is apparent that some of the
Farmer Union members do not care particularly for
the Farmers Union only so far as it may benefit them
personally, and will deal with outsiders to get a possible
advantage at the present time, not figuring on what the
Ilnal result Will be when the Union has become unable
to sustain its program through their carelessness.
We refer, in this instance, to farmers who will listen
to buyers Of livestock from men who are not members
q the Union, but who represent that they are buying for
the Onion. Asa matter of fact some of them do ship
the stock to the association, but-stock sold to them, or
shipped by them to the Farmers Union Livestock associa-
ton, is unprotected by any sinking fund to take care of
any loss that may be sustained by the shipper.
The official buyer, or manager, of the local Farmers
Union Shipping association, has to back his losses, q
sinking fund that was created for the purposes. Think
1t over, mister.

Importance Of Land Values
GARNER and Farm, Stock and HI

ain 0AO E0IIu 0CUCk LILO IOWS)
on numerous occasions we have pointed out the fact
that increasing land values from year to year until 1919;
played q very important part in the creation Of western
agricultural wealth. Farming as a business operation
has never paid high returns on the investment; much
Of the wealth Of western farmers was the result Of in
through drastic ~deflation, farming automatically be-
came a low-profit occupation in which only the highly
efficient producers could survive. This situation viii Gin
tinue until land values are once again stabilized at some
point, however. low that point may be.
In an address delivered at the Iowa State Fair last
very forcibly presented the above argument which, in our
opinion. has received entirely too little attention while
we have been milling around looking for an answer to the
farm problem. Commenting on the causes Of the dis
parity between the rewards OF agriculture as compared
TO other industries, Mr.. Legge suggests that this dis
orally recognized. He states that during the period
when steadily advancing prices Of farm land gave the
farmer an indirect gain or profit, this disparity in the
everyday earnings OF agriculture as compared to other
industries was not recognized. It was only fair that the
farmer should gain by the increasing value of farm
the results of his own effort to improve property and
thereby enhance its value. However, when these in
direct gcins were set aside the lack of curre.t earnings,
such as would be shown on the balance sheet of any well
organized firm or corporation. were very small for q con-
siderable time prior to the World war"
In the above statement Chairman Legge has, indeed,
put q finger on one OF the sore spots in our agricultural
complaint. The destruction of land values, the most
important collateral, in the west and northwest, was q
blow from which we have been very slow in recovering.
We have been so busy in trying to save the banks and
save the mortgage holders. that we have overlooked the
Importance OF preserving the integrity Of land values.
There can be no stability In agricultural prosperity until
there Is stability in land values. This fact Is worthy Of
all possible consideration at this time when everyone Is
