An analysis of the Midland company’s books discloses that an average of less than one and one-half cents a bushel profit ‘was made on all grain sold to the state mill by “this company. Access to‘all books and records was given to the acgountants commissioned by Governor Sorlie and the state bank examiner's office. The report as delivered is signed by two cerfi- fied accountants and the state law provides a penalty for falsification of such reports, a safeguard which is wholly absent in the vari- ous reports of Mr. Lund, who_has not to date been able to secure a certificate from the state board of accountancy. oe It is not necessary to repeat the high lights of the report just filed, as they are set forth in the Associated Press news story released this evening to all state papers.

A Study of Installment Buying Professor Seligman of Columbia University, after an extended study, announces that there’s nothing’ so very wrong after all with} installment buying, and that none of the dire} things predicted for the country because of the| popularity of the weekly payment plan is like- ly to happen. Bankers have expressed the fear that the in- stallment system would lead to extravagance and a back-breaking load of debt to be carried by the American family. Professor Seligman’s study, the result of 15 months of investigation with a staff of research assistants, offers evi- dence to the contrary. The Columbia profes- sor’s work shows the system as tending to stabilize output, reduce production costs and raise standards of living. The installment plan of buying a home al- ways has been regarded as a sound business venture, Then why not the furniture,’ the au- tomobile and other “accessories?” Von Steuben (Duluth Herald) Americans of German birth and ancestry will celebrate during the week of November 29 the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the landing of General Baron Friedrich William von Steuben. That event is well worth celebrating, for this nation in its struggle for freedom owes more to the genius of this German soldier than many of its people realize. Steuben, who came to this country because Benjamin Franklin asked him to, landed at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, December 1, 1777. He went to Valley Forge—a terrible place that winter.

The value of his services in this vitally important field was generally recognized at the time, and is a firmly fixed fact in American history. In- deed, it is pretty sure that if Steuben had come earlier; the distressing conditions of that win- ter at Valley Forge would have been prevented. It is right to observe this occasion, and every American, of whatever ancestry, should recognize the value of the services of this Ger- man volunteer, but to emphasize the friendly between this great people and the great people across the water that gave birth to this invaluable friend to the struggling colonies. er and a attend.

Much of this mass of litera- ture has been mere twaddle. This is as good a time as any to bring the Coolidge stiuation up to date.

E. writes: “I re- ceive it deal of help through your writings, and am won- ring if you would advise eating dried figs, prunes, and fruit of that kind without being stewed.” Answer: e dried fruits you mention can be used without cook- ing and are even more wholesome when used in this manner. Some enjoy the flavor of the fruits when they are soaked overnight in a small amount of water, and then eaten without being eooked.

Also, my arms at the elbows and legs atthe knees be- come numb and ache if I don’t keep m perfectly straight when [ sleep. Is it improper circulation, or my nerves?” Answer: The neck-snapping is caused from, some faulty position of the vertebrde or ligaments in your neck. This can probably be cor- rected by proper treatments. The zumbness of your elbows and knees may be caused by a mild form of rheumatism or by poor circulation due to insufficient exercise. ‘SAIN Se SINNER bright head, crowned with its riot- ing copper-and-gold curls, tilting a man of great height. “I’m Nils Jonson,” she heard the man say, in a rich, before she saw him, “Is my sister Rhoda here?” Rhoda, who had been crouching miserably in the chair t than had been “Nils!
