WESTERN UNION
BY GREY

Here is a great novel to stir the
imagination, comparable to Zane
Grey's own THE GREAT u. p.
TRAIL--a long historical novel in
the grand tradition, based on a
graphic page in American history
illuminated with the color and ro-
nance and fast action for which he
is famous, with a new and broader
outlook ON the development of the
West.
Young Wayne Cameron, late of
Hazard, had a considerable portion
of stubborn Scottish blood and
more than his share of the natural
fighting instinct. And he was to
need all he had of both in the dang
erous months ahead of him. For
Journeyng to the Middle West, he
fell in with group of Westerners
and joined them in the desperate
enterprise of carrying forward
Western Unions line of commun-
ication through thousand miles
of wilderness-of stringing a single
strand of ircn wire across contin-
ent.
Fights against outlaws, warfare
with hostile Indians, daily threat Of
destruction from buffalo stampedes
and on-sweeping prairie fires, at
tempts to cross rivers at full flood,
the necessity of securing adequate
supplies of food for hundreds of
men, thousand details CT organ
ization and defense-all these made
it task of tremendous difficulty,
a life of constant peril and excite
ment.
The story of Wayne's love fer the
handsome and spirited Kit gives
an added fillup of romance to this
drama of personal adventure and
heroic achievement.

bilious, skillful, and thorough going
effort ever made to write the his
tory of the immediate past of a
populcus nation. To treat any ten
States is enough but to treat any
ten years in the record of the
United States is difficult under
taking; to treat the ten years just
ended is daring enterprise in
deed. The scope of the Boards
book is comprehensive; it's detail
keen and relevant. In addition to
the political and economic history
of the time, the Boards have cover
ed the social literary and artistic
history of 3000O1 900 people in the
most crowed peacetime decade of
our national career.
The book falls naturally into two
main sections: the one political
and economic, the other social and
cultural. The first half of the book
conveys wildly and grippingly the
revolutionary atmosphere of the
time. Beginning with Coolidge and
the Great Boom, Hoover's election,
the Great Collapse, the mobili-
cation of government, Rocsevelt's
rise to power, etc. 1t continues to
the autumn of 1888 The later
chapters discuss labor, science, the
arts, entertainment, and many
other topics with remarkable range
and completeness.
In their final chapter the authors
conclude: "All the major events
and tendencies of the midpassage--
the economic crisis, political con-
flicts arising out Of national efforts
to grapple with it, the multipli-
cation of public functions and
responsibilities bore upon the
fortunes of democracy and at every
turn called for reconsideration CT
its nature,--its ability to cope
with the complexities of a disjoint-
ed yet great society. Popular in
situations long taken fer granted
were re-examined and analyses
once lightly dismissed were SER
iously reviewed as Americans be-
came more conscious of democracy
--of the contrasts opposing it and
bidding for supreme favor every
where"
Everywhere the work is provoc-
ative and well informed. The
authors deserve the thanks of all
those who believe that history must
try to crowd more closely than
hitherto on the heels of the, history
makers.
Nc book could do more to make
Americans understand the times in
which they are living. Although
the book is complete in itself, &C
tually it forms the third volume of
"The Rise of American Civili-
zation.' the famous work Of these
two most able historians.

Conservation In a Middle

With conservation in its present mudde, and ali
manner of fishing open on practically all lakes OF
the state, there are some of that great number of
10000 which in a short time might just well be
mud puddles for all the fish there will be in them
You can't eat your fish and have them too! That
is true of many lakes which have reached low ebb
of fish life, and which should be rebuilt through
restocking and rest periods. With both winter and
summer fishing it will be impossible to rebuild those
lakes There many people who enjoy winter
fishing and they should not be denied that privilege
but little common sense should be used in Sc
lectng lakes that stand all year around angling,
spearing and netting. That should be the duty of
the Game and Fish Commission, and laws
should be such to allow that without political
preferment or influence.

Un-Americanism Should Be Crime

Fritz Kuhn, German-American bund leader, was
sentenced to prison term of from two and half
to five years, convicted of grand larceny of bund
funds. This, said dispatches, deprives him of
the privilege of voting and of holding public office,
but does not revoke his citizenship The judge before
he pronounced sentence said This man is not to be
sentenced because he is hate dispenser or rabble
rouser, for there thousands of others in this
country" There is no law under which citizenship
be taken away from him, but it would be bless
ing if there such law Then he could be de-
ported to the land whose interests he wishes to fur
Their in the United States by taking advantage of
the very laws which granted freedom to the per-

of democracy and liberty. A firing squad would be
waiting for such in the lands of dictators.

Costly Strike Ended

Ending the longest and most costly strike in the
automobile ndustry-an ideness of "a days-an
agreement reached whereby 10000 workers in
Chryser automobile factories returned to work.
An estimated 10000 men were thrown out of
work during that period including those men en-
ployed in factories which furnish materials and sup
plies for the automobile company. The amount in
wages lost staggering, and the output of cars
reduced about 100000.
AS is always the case, disputes of this kind pro-
duce a loss for all concerned. The company has
lost the sale of thousands of the workers have
lost pay for eight weeks; dealers have lost sales
Settlement finally made around a conference
table where the differences should have been settled
in the beginning. 1t is unfortunate that such dis
astrous labor disputes cannot be averted through
intelligent cooperation of both employer and
ployee. Too often the spirit necessary to attain this
end is lacking on both sides.

Business Good

Red Wing-Thomas Barnett is

mess. He came to Red Wing in
1885 and disposed of watches thru
the medium of buying gas at fill

watches in payment of the bill and
what extra cash he could get. For
this he was fined $500. Mr.. Bar
nett sees to it that this law viola
tons are kept within the so-called
petty" category. He has been fin
gerprinted in nine states already.
However, business is good says

Is There Security ?

Security has been paramount in the minds of
men from the beginning of time, and every race has
striven to accomplish some semblance Of security
in some way another Today want security
for old age, security for this and that in fact security
for everything short of death. But we forget that
long there wars there is no security for
anyone Today, under existing circumstances 1t is
only temporary. Poland and Finland are examples
of that fact. When men can abolish war and guar
antee lasting peace then and then only, can men
enjoy security-the kind of security they long and
hope for.
