W. Peck, agricultural extension director of the University of Minnesota, he is working for 15 cents an hour and out of that meager sum must pay taxes and interest on his borrowed money. He has no eight-hour day, with double time for overtime. More often, sixteen hours intervene between| thehtime he starts work and the time he finishes, dead tired, at night. His brother in'the city who owns a factory shuts down the works at the first sign of decreased earnings. His brother who| works in the factory goes on strike the moment a cut in' wages or -an increase in hours is suggested. But the farmer has not gone on strike. He has not closed down his plant. With un- daunted optimism and faith that somehow things will turn out right, he has planted his crops as usual, economizing where he can and must. - With more favorable weather the crop of 1921 would have been a record-breaker. _A similar spirit all along the line of American business and | industry would have averted the period of depression through! wkich we have just passed. The example of the farmer should | be an inspiration. i When the farmer goes before congress and the Interstate| Commerce commission with a plea for action, he goes with clean hands. He has favors coming, if any group in America has. The farmer’s appeal for lower freight rates needs to be| heard. He of all American people suffers most heavily from the| high rate burden. He pays the freight on his products on the way to market and he pays the freight on the goods he has to buy. Any improvement in the economic condition of the farni- ers generally is bound to be reflected in greater prosperity for the whole national community, including, of course, the rail- roads. When the purchasing power of nearly fifty million peo- ple is limited to wages at 15 cents an hour, while the remainder of the population demands many times that much, depressed markets for all commodities are certain to result. Bankers and industrial leaders are beginning to recognize the fact that the taking away of seven billioin dollars from the value of 1920 farm products has been one of the largest factors in the eco- nomic disorganization of the past year. Seven billion dollars represents approximately $1,000 for every farm home in the United States, and the destruction of that much purchasing| power, was certain to have a serious effect upon the whole eco- homic fabric. Conversely, the increase in the farmers’ purchas-{ ing power through lower freight rates and better prices is sure| to help restore general prosperity.—The St. Paul Pioneer Press.‘; R { SN SO — P An automobile connection across the Sahara desert is the plan of a French engineer, who is experimenting with cars spe- cially constructed to cross sand and climb sharp undulations. Six automobiles will make the trip. The cars are of the cater- pillar type. If the trip is a success, it will mean the establish- ment of road communication throughout the French African empire and will aid in its development. mmmm E OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR 3 2 HARVEY GETS HIS Others besides George Harvey must have had the “shivers” when they read the proceedings of the' American Legion convention in Kangas City. There is little comfort for agitators and radicals in the deliberations of the men who again declared that they wanted it “known for all times ‘that the freedom of the world.” They made it known in no uncertain way that they would hold to strict acountability those who condoned and paliated the Debs and the Trotzkys and the Lenines in this country. . After our ambassador to England has read the following resoultion he will doubtless conclude that he has not learned correctly the lessons of the world’s greatest war: “That the sentiments cxpressed by George Harvey, United States ambassador to Great Britain in his Pilgrim Day socech, set- ting forth the reasons for America’s entry into the World war and the cause for which America fought, does not rcpresent the true American attitude as interpreted by the American Legion, and let it be known for all times that America fought not only for the main- tenance of America’s rights but for the freedom of the world and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States.” In view of this resolution it is difficult to sce how the administration| can much longer refuse the .demand going up from all over this country; that our ambassador at the court of St. James should be recalled.—St. Cloud| Daily Times. | WHY CARRY IT? ! A widow who lived in New Jersey decided to move to New York: She, shipped her household goods, and then boarded the train with; her four children, all under 11 years of age, and started for the big city. Everything dropped her handbag somewhere en route with her entire' savings;7$1,400, in | it. Fortunately for her, the bag fell into honest hands and was returned all the agony of ‘mind attendant upon such a loss. The performance was as foolish as it was unnecessary. probably were deposited safely in a New Jersey bank. vthém' there. - When she got to New York and needed money, any bank would _have attended to a transfer of the account if she preferred to deposit near home, or by the utilization of a checking account no transfer would have been necessary. . In spite of the increased publicity and popularity accorded banks and .bnnkin_g and safe methods for financial transaction, there still are people who carry large sums of money and lose them. Seldom are they fortunate + as this onec woman ‘in having their money returned.—Little Falls Transcript.

Miss Clara Cook and Fred Buck- sen were married at St. Joseph’s church Thursday ,morning, November 10. After a short wedding trip they returned to Mr. Bucksen’s farm where they will reside. -~ The American Union Sunday school of Rosby and vicinity has erected a chapel for Sunday school purposes. The dedication took place Sunday, November 13. Laymen from the Pres- byterian, Lutheran, Baptist and Methodist and Mr. Gideon from Worcester, Mass., spoke feelingly as befitted the occasion. A spelling contest will be given at the Carr Lake school house Friday evening between the best spellers of the upper grades of that school and the best spellers in similar grades of the school of Northern. The public is invited to attend. Several of our farmers are co-oper- ating in buying corn in carload lots.

Aldrich, the “whirlwind | from Minneapolis,” has been holding revival meetings in the Baptist church during the week past and expects tec stay and continue the same until the end of this week. Little success is reported so far. Two men from west of towh are in the county jail having been caugh’ with a still, some mash and a good quantity of “booze.” They wer fined $200 each and the married man given 30 days in jail, the unmarried man’60 of the same. At the last meeting of the Tri- County Sanatorium Board at Bemidji last week it was determined to holc the next meeting in Park Rapids. I! is planned to hold a double clinic thal day and the Red Cross people wil' join with the sanatorium for that pur- pose. Luncheon will be served, radi- | very: disagregable work. Sunday guests' at- the Harry Millis K3 Swedish and Norwegian | ographs will be shown and everyone will be invited to take part and make it an interesting as weil as profitable day. ' The meeting will probably be held ‘in the court house and will come on the first of December. Deer hunters are being moderately successful and quite a number of deer | have already been brought in.

Photographing the Little. “ The art of photomicrography has | made a great advance through the ap- plication of - the electric arc light. Heretofore it has been very difficult to make good photographs of minute obje magnified - more than ‘6ne thousand .diameters because the oxy- hydrogen light employed to illuminate the objects was not sufficiently -uni- form in intensity. With the electric are light this difficulty has been largely avercome, and fine photographs have heen made of objects magnified five thousand diameters. Microscopy is far ahead of as- tronomy in the magnifying powers that it can employ. It is seldom that a power of so. much as one thousand diameters can be usefully applied with a telescope, and.in photographing the heavenly bodles comparatively slight magnification can be used. A photo- araph of the moon with a magnifying | power of five thousand diameters would be a wonder indeed. ! [ Judge Not. Quite Up to Date. The meaning of the word “bogus” was the subject of a long discussion in a London court the other day. Eventually- the judge had recourse to @ dictionary .and that. book, ‘in giv- | ing examples. of the use of the word, quoted the fact, that there was once & judge who did not know the mean- ing of a bogus transaction.
