Strayed Goats Are
Found By Plane

Briefly, this little tale could be
titled "HoW to Find Lost Goats"
or Aviation Scores Again" 1t
all happened at an auction sale
near Brainerd when the auctioneer
prepared to eXtole the values of
a herd of Angora Silk goats which
together with other stock and
equipment were to be sold. How
ever, for the first time in years, the
animals had chosen to play hockey
from whatever their duties about
the farm were. A fruitless search
began as members of the crowd
volunteered to proceed afoo t
through the woods and swamps
nearby. But no goats could be
located in that slow manner
ThWarted in the terra firma search,
the sale clerk turned aviator and
volunteered to find the animals
from the air. From his vantage
point in the sky Clerk Flaata saw
the herd lying in deep swamp
grass a mile and a half from the
farm. He wrote a note, describ-
ing the hiding place and dropped
it to the crowd below. His duty
in the air well done, the sale pro-
ceeded, with the goats the latest
victims of the advances of modern
transportation.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

1t sounds almost as fantastic as
does an H. c.. Wells story, but it is,
nevertheless, a fact: Grynszpan, a
young Polish Jew, whose parents had
been expelled from Germany, few
days ago went to the German en-
baSSy in Paris and shot an under
secretary with the result that he died
a couple of days later. Ordinarily,
a sad case like this would be con-
sidered just what it is-the case of
a boy whose mind has become more
or less deranged because of persecu-
ton; blindly, he thinks that some
-anyone-connected with the
German government must be held
responsible, so for his revenge he
accidentally singles out person who
actually had nothing to do with the
whole sorry business of deporting
Jews. And, ordinarily, this would
be just another case for the criminal
police or for psychopathic specialists.
But not so now! No, the German
government instantly decided that all
the 100000 Jews still within its ter
ritory must be made to suffer for
what this young fellow had done.
Mob DespOtism.
Before the government took charge,
German mobs had acted; in moment
of frenzy they demolished 10000 Jew
ish stores and burned % synagogues;
they beat up innocent Jews in the
streets while the policemen grinningly
looked at the scenes of violence, and
never moved a hand to protect the
victims.
When the mobs had just about spent
their strength, the authorities broad
cast orders that the populace must

Annual Elections Will be
Held Tuesday, December
6, for Urban Voters.

Village voters. will again go to the
polls Tuesday, December 6, this time
to express their choice as to their

AS a rule elections in the small

cause neighbor does not wish to

Gates of good government do not
usually look upon contest for each
office in that manner. Where there
is the best governed municipality, it
is pointed out, there has been the
keenest competition for the various
jobs.
The law gives the people the right
to govern themselves at home as we'll
as abroad and their local governments
usually reflect their government high
er up, therefore it is urged by var
ious village officials, that there be
contests for the various offices and
that there be a good vote on election

Two Fined Shooting
Chukar Partridges

Shooting Chukar cartridges cost
two Olmsted county men total of
$35 and costs, when they were ar
raigned before Justice Albert Closner
of Oronoca township, according to
Harry E. Speakes, director of the
division of game and fish.
Hugh Curry of Eyota, was assessed
$25 and costs or 80 days in Jail, and
Harold Giefer of Pine Island, was
given $40 fine or Is days in Jail. The
arrests were made by Game Warden
Matt Saari of Rochester.
Chukar cartridges are the new
birds, of which paintings have been
made this year in every county in
the state. They were raised at the
Carlos Avery state game farm, where
in addition to the Chukars over $4,000
bobwhite quail were raised and over
$4,000 distributed
Several experimental paintings of
Chukars were made last year, and
observations of these birds indicate
that they will do very well under
Minnesota conditions. In all of the
1887 planting locations, representing
entirely different types of environ
ment, birds have been observed dur
ing the summer months with clutches
of young. This promises to become
one of Minnesota's important game
birds in the future, according to Frank
Blair, superintendent of game bird
propagation in the state department
of conservation.

Hogs Steady To
Slightly Higher
Continued Liberal Arrivals
Greeted; Steady to Csc
Lower Trade in Cattle.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Is,
1898: Following last weeks run of
more than 10000 head, hog supplies
continued liberal during the current
week. Demand, however, expanded
and prices worked steady to 15c high
er on the first two days, according
to the Federal-State Market News
Service. Choice light lights reached
SITS on Tuesday with practical top
of the market $765. Good light
weight sows at $40 were on the
same level with good and choice
220 to 240 pound barrows and gifts,
and actually outsold heavier butchers.
Not many pigs were offered and
prices held steady.
The market for slaughter steers and
yearlings ranged steady to Csc lower.
Supplies of western grass cattle were
again smaller, but shipments of Ca
madam grassers continued liberal.
Weighty Montana fed steers received
S11OO and most medium grassers
brought $3.50 to $500. A few good
to choice fed steers and yearlings
turned at $3.50 to $11.00. Heifers
held mostly steady, good grade kinds
topping at $500 with plain to good
generally $500 to $500. Cows were
steady to Csc lower with the decline
mostly on fat cows Range cows hit
$3.50 and spread of $475 to $625
included most plain to good animals.
Vealers were steady to so lower, and
bulls steady to weak. A moderately
active trade for stockers and feeders
found prices steady, medium to good
feeders clearing at $3.50 to SITS, with
choice mixed calves at $3.50 to $500.
Best feeders brought $8.25 and bulk
steers all weights were included be-
tween $500 and $500. Dairy cows
were little changed, demand being
good and supply light but cold wealth
er was not encouraging to broad
shipping movement. Good close
springers showing youth and carry
ing weight made $1,000 to $500,
while plain and medium kinds went
at $4,000 to $4,000
All classes of sheep and lambs Sc
cured fully steady prices on early
days this week. Improvement in the
wholesale dressed trade popped up
the demand for slaughter lambs and
offset some increase in receipts. Good
and choice slaughter lambs bulked at
1925 to $3.50, common and medium
grades $3.50 to $500, medium to
choice slaughter yearlingS $3.50 to
$3.50, and plain to choice slaughter
ewes $1.50 to $3.50. Good and choice

Tree Harvest Is On

half million Christmas trees in north

ing to Ellery A. Foster, director OF
the division of forestry.
Minnesota trees are furnished an

well as to several foreign countries
All trees sold in Minnesota must
carry the two-cent conservation de-
partment tag, which indicates where
the trees have been harvested, and
the operator certifies that he has the

Amendment No. lis
Apparently Winner

It seems at last that Amendment
No. 1 which has gone through five
election campaigns unsuccessfully, is
winner. According to present re-
ports, the amendment which would
allow the state to exchange lands
with the Federal government or pri-
vate individuals, has received ma
jority of the votes cast at the cleo
ton.
No. 2 which went through its first
election campaign, did not make the
grade. If Amendment No. l does
pass it will be the duty of the legis-
lature to designate how such lands
shall be exchanged.

Fittingly Mark
2OthArmistice
American Legion and Aux
iliary Posts Sponsor Cele-
bratiOns i'm County.

Marking the goth time Armistice
day has come to the nation since the
end of the World war, various pro-
grams were sponsored throughout
Pine county by American Legion
posts and Auxiliary units. Appro-
pirate programs with school children,
Girl and Boy Scout troops and others
taking part were arranged.
AT Askov varied program of act
ing, music and singing was enjoyed
with the address of the evening being
given by Supt. Otto G.. Hoiberg of
the local school. Mr.. Hoiberg dis
cussed the causes of war and adj
monished his listeners that during
peacetime efforts should be made to
avoid war. Lunch was sold after the
program.
Denham Has Good Program.
The Birch Creek Community club
held an Armistice day program at the
Maple Grove school on the evening
of November IL, and a good program
was rendered.
Songs which opened the program
were "Star Spangled Banner" and
America" Then followed a recita-
ton, THE Peace CALL" by Alice
Lehet; song, america, the Beautiful
by Jeanne and Jennette Nelson and
Constance Miller; recitation, 1.-THE
Heroes We Never Name" Philip Ry-
den; song, Forward All Ye Faith
full" by Mary Ann Burak; recitation
"Armistice Day." by Curtis Ryden;
song, ''The Letter Edged in Black" by

The guest speaker was Supt c. C
Aakhus of Willow River. He gave a
very inspiring talk, stressing peace
Some of the points he brought out
were: l. Nobody celebrates the be-
ginning of war, but everybody cele-
brates the end of war. 2. War is
futile. 1t never obtains its objective
3. War and hate can never obtain
peace among nations. 4. 1t is up to
the rising generations, who have never
seen war and know nothing of the
World war by actually living in it,
to be careful for peace as it becomes
their duty to take over the govern
ment of the nation.

TRUE FREEDOM

Men whose boast it is that We
Come of fathers brave and free
If there breathe on earth slave
Are we truly free and brave?
If We do not feel the chain
When it works a brothers pain,
Are we not base slaves indeed,
Slaves unworthy to be freed?
Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for our own dear sake,
And with leathern hearts forget
That we owe mankind debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear,
And, with heart and hand, to be
Earnest to make others free!
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
j. r. Lowell.

SCOUT TRAINING AID
III SEVERED ARTERY

POCATELLO, Ida, Dec. 3d.
(UP)-Elwin ArneH, former st.
Charles Boy Scout, told in a re-
port to local Scout headquarters
how his training in first aid had
saved his life.
Arne.l, VINO now lives in Lo-
gan, Utah, related to Scout Off
Gals that while he was working
on a farm a team of horses he
was driving became startled and
ran away. So,
The broken end of hay rake
tongue pierced the main artery in
his leg. Arnell recalled that two
men working with him knew
nothing of treatment for such
wounds.
He directed one to go for a
doctor and directed the other to
exert pressure just above the
wound with his hands to stop the
squirting of the blood. ..
In his report, Arnell said: "The
puncture was so high it was inn
possible to use a tourniquet, so
Mr.. Herschi, who was with me,
Topped his hands above my leg
and stopped the blood from squirt
ing until the doctor arrived"
The doctor praised Arnell for
his GOODNESS in directing the first
