Physician Tells
Narrowing Tale
Dr. Rempel, Guest Speaker at Con-
gregationaI Brotherhood Dinner
Thursday Evening

The first dinner of the Season of
the Mems Brotherhood Of the Con-
gregational church Thursday eve
ming of last week was attended by
about 60.
DR.. D. d. Rempel, of Brownton,
Mimi, a Russian refugee, who Wis
tied this city in the late winter and
gave a narrowing and interesting
account of the tribulatio1s encount-
cred by himself, wife and babe in
roalking their escape from the Boil
ssheviks and Anarchists who over
whelmed his native Russia at the
close of the World War, delivered
another interesting installment OF
this very unusual experience.
In the course of his talk DR.
Rumpel stated that regardless OF
all which has been said and writ
ten the average citizen of Russia
loved their Gar and were content
with their surroundings until the
red flag of Socialism began to
force it's ugly head into the picture
spreading falsehood, hatred and
discomfort. People were attracted
to the Bolshevik standard by glow
ing promises which was impossible
Of fulfillment.
When the revolution was declar-
ed, all jails and prisons were thrown
open. The criminal made up the
back bone of the Anarchist army
which left a trail of blood and de-
struction on their wake until sub
dued or merged into the Bolshevik
party.
The doctors address was greatly
enjoyed by those privileged to hear
it.

Stolen Turkeys Re.
turned When Tattood
Dassel Man Double Checks Against
Thievery, Minnesota Farm
Bureau Learns

Poultry-pilferers turn thumbs
down on marked birds, according
to Arthur Neumeyer, Of Dassel,
MINI. A roost robber made !, off
with a considerable number Of Mr..
Nuemeyer's fine turkeys recently.
A few days later, just at dawn, Mr..
Neumeyer noted car on the high
way not far from his house. From
it streamed a gobbling, scrambling
flock of turkeys, the birds he had
lost previously. Mr.. Neumeyer's
theory, as expressed to r. H.
Steidel, Meeker county agent, was
that the tattoed markings on his
birds had made it exceedingly in.
convenient for the thieves to. sell
the birds, SO they returned them.
Minnesota Farm Bureau officials
learned from the Meeker county
agent that Mr.. Neumeyer has
checked and double-checked
against roost robbers, this being
the second time he has emerged
successful from a brush with
SAAASNSos III q PiSNAouS OSSdSlOu
heard a commotion in his turkey
pen and saw a man hurrying away
with fat turkey under his arm. A
well-placed charge Of birdshot
caused the man to drop the bird
and stumble off through the dark
ness. The turkey the thief was
carrying was also wounded in sew
eral places. proving that the pellets
found their mark.
Trained operatives have been
sent by the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau into number Of communities
this fall to run down thieves who
have been preying on fiocks guard
ed by the federation's protective
service, which Is free to all paid up
Farm Bureau members.
The Farm Bureau urges that all
farmers follow Mr.. Neumeyer's ex-
ample, in marking their birds and
in keeping shotgun handy for
roost-robbers.

Farmers See Dollar Wheat
In Great Grain Price Raise

a lethargic grain trade, it was re-
vealed.
Grain brokers cheered each adj
vance in prices. They said the
public had come back into the mar
ket with rush. Business on the
Chicago wheat pit, which dwindled
to 10000, 900 bushels a day, doomed
to 10000, 900 bushels last week and
struck the 100000 bushel level
this week.
Pit sales were reflected in in
creased commissions and in a
$1,000 jump in the price Of board Of
trade memberships. Sale of a
membership was arranged at $11.-
600.
Brokers said New York firms
were principal buyers Of member
ships in the belief that return
of better times first would be re-
flected in rising commodity prices.
Recalling how wide breaks in
grain prices presaged the stock
market collapse of 1929, predic
tions were free that the grain rise
anticipated a definite upturn in
economic conditions.
Greatest immediate benefits were
expected to be reaped by the very
farmers who earlier in the fan
demonstrated their refusal to sell
grain at lower than production
costs by trading In two bushels
for hair cut or scattering guam
titles In the street.

Stored Product

Chicago, Nov. 4Western farmers
today visioned dollar wheat" as a
reward for the grain they boarded
at harvest time because they could
not sell it for the money it cost to
grow.
Already the sensational rise
which has added 5000 600 to the
value Of grain stuffed in their
granaries has brought the dollar
price for the choicest grade of pre-
MUM wheat.
Continuation Of the advance
which touched 20 cents above the
all time low Of October 5 has been
predicted by market observers.
They admitted temporary recess
sions such as yesterdays might
occur but pointed out that farmers
who still hold approximately half
Of this years crops, are little af-
fected by such fluctuations since
they are not trading in the wheat
pits to any extent.

wheat bringing back optimism to
wheat growing regions and relief

were exhausted, has also revived

Supt. Kohl has inaugurated sew

The district is getting itself in
mighty fine financial condition due
to the wise handling of the districts
business by the School Board. The

the $4,000 bond issue used in con-
