THE HOUSE 0 OUR EXCHANGES .19 On July 18 they went to Minneapolis and were married. Nothing was known of their whereabouts until friends here of Miss Simmons receiv ed letters from her signed "Mrs. Clar- once Hungerford." It developed that Hungeiford had a wife and several small children near Jackson, Neb. Mrs. Hungerford Nb. 1, learned of her husband's departure with the "other woman" and appealed to Sheriff Jones to have him arrested. Minneapolis officials soon had him in custody and he was brought to Sioux City. Hun gerford was charged with bigamy. He is at liberty under a $1000 bond. His case probably will be investigat ed by the grand jury now in session. Mrs. Hungerford, No. 1, has declared her intention of pressing the charge against her husband. Miss Simmons said she knew Hungerford was a mar ried man, but thought they could "get away with it," according Sheriff Jones. 10 . Homo Demonstration Notes Mis3 Florence Atwood Homo Demonstration Agent During the past week sewing has been made easier for seven women, because dress forms'have been added to their sewing equipment. Two of these were papier-mache forms which were padded to fit fitted linings, the others were home-made forms. These were made of a lining stuffed with excelsior and mounted 'on a hip board, base board ,and an upright piece. When completed these cost", less than one dollar, and will save each woman much energy and nerve force when fitting her own clothes.

NOTICK Notice is hereby given that the annual-election of Dakota County Chap ter of the, American Red Cross will be held on the evening of November 2Gth, at 8 o'clock, in the office of W. E. Voss, county superintendent. All members are urged to attend. Mrs. G. F. Broyhlll, Sec. Answer "Here" at the Third Roll Call. OF SERVICE 1 You HM a V and a $ SOME STIUKES AND THE PUBLIC. (Written for The Herald by Rov." C. R. Lowe.") In the first place wo wish to re mark that we hoo tho American press will adopt the term "Reds" In stead of "Bolshevism," for i i'thp republican governor upon Bhorter and so typically American, it will save time, and ink hwr;r.n slve. Now that some of the laborer .of1 the country have gone on a strike, and some others are taking Vyrfcn tions," lot us take a look at some of them. Maybe we can, see some hopeful signs from the standpoint of the public, and that 'includes .the labor. men, too. Too coal stride has got the most front . page space of lato. It is established to. the. satisfaction of the federal judiciary that the strike is fundamentally one of pdr sonal ambition on th'e part of the leaders. There, .appears some, possi bility .of this even so faras a layman can see when in the Alabama mining district the 'butpu't was G5 per cent of normal last week. As a. ruloherd toforo the. public has not .taken much of a hand in strikes, but let them go their 'weary Avay; TJut It is not so here. Tho who'leriation ,was threat ened w.itft, starving jtlll the govern ment took qver the coal available., and then it was a matter of freezing and suffering. Take your choice. Mining contracts terminate in April, sq thn a posslble,Btrike would. not cause so mucn, suirenng;ouv now mo mlnerswant'tb have-them. terminate on November 1st, so that the. suffer ing pt the people would be a hotter card for their winning handl. But the peoplo did ndt feci inclined to suffer, rather they called on. the gov ernment to step in and.tako a hand. In other vords, the. public, has taken a' hand in' the other"' man's 'quarrel, and' has told the half- million miners they had to go' to work- for they did not have any right to discommode one hundred and-ten million peoplo with their fight, and stop the whole economic working- of tho nation. Everybody wants fairness and equit able wages, but '.they, demand coal, too. Injunctions were issued .and a time limit given to tho, leaders to call (Off tho, strike. The press all over tho country declare tho strike ought to fail .and would fail "because of the, high-handed measures used to make it win. The -public did not want to be the goat and demanded coal-to be mined, and tho demand worked. Lewis declared "We aro Americans, and cannot fight our gov ernment.'1" That smacks- of grand stand oratory, having tho background tttat it does. He probably feared the jail as much as he loved his country, but tho press is generous and giyes him only credit. We do not know what blame the miners have for their present situation, but this fact re mains, that the people ppokeandtho first round, at' least, is 7lainly theirs. They were aroused in their own de fense and the oppressors fell back before them. Tho miners have been made to know that they have a duty to perform to tho public as well as the rest of us have, and the public expects them to perform it, and be partly as patient as they aro while tho grievance is redressed. Tho strike is commonly held to be lost. Then there is tho steel strike. Not settled yet. What are the conditions' Tho strikers still want what they want, they bolted from the labor com mission at Washington. Tho steel men were bull-headed, too, and they were dismissed from tho sitting. Tho public, through tho government, was J left alone. .The users of steel seem to have settled down to make the best of a bad matter and to fight the thing to a finish with tho avowed purpose of showing tho strikers thoy are not running everything, tho gov ernment included. A long sicgo Is ahead. Sooner or later tho building interests, vand that means the public, they being neither strikers nor steel producers, will suirei-f,or the whole country is clammoring for building, and the nation waits. That will not make thorn any more favorable to the men who will not work while production is demanded. There will hardly be any Injunction proceedings, but the feeling will not bo sweet to ward, the men who will not work whllo adjustments are made. Steel prices aro very high, and that fact alone helps a lot to align tho sym pathy of tho people with tho Btcol men against the strikers. The strike is generally regarded as a failure. There was, once upon a time, a strlko of, the policemen 'of Boston. Ever hoar of it? Well, Boston had Need Mi! Lawrence. Kansas, under Quantrcll, beat a nautical mile. Tho cops got some "Red" spirit, and maybo ionio red spirits, nnil thoy thought thej would try a bit of soviot government on the "Hub of the Universe, and' there was one nwful time. And then there was an election tho other day. The democratic candidate gotj snowed under so deop ho didn't even have to cat crow. Hero again tho people spoke. Democrats voted for Coolidge, the president congratulated his success, ho Is In line for tho presi dential nomination. Why ' was it? Because the democratic candidate openly bid for tho "Red" vote, and we presumo ho got it. Ho didn't get anything else. Again tho public spoke for organized society and law, 1 nnil tho Reds " wore i.ofeated. History tells of a strike at Seattle once, and it is tho same story, the people got interested in the mottcr and when they had their- say it was not what tho strikers wanted at all, The public had something to say when I tho conduct of tho extremists became ' extreme. ' It will be to tho credit of tho' brotherhood of engineers and firemen If they read the handwriting on tho wall, and thero aro others. It is an open saying that domineering by tho hand of labor is not more desirable j or any better than domineering by; capital. The public suffers -long and' patiently, but when tho peoplo aro tired of tho.mqnkeyshlnos of a class of people In their midst, thoy have always found a way to protect them-1 selves. If there is anything that will work more to the establishment of this government at the present tlmo itis more strikes like the coal strike, tho the steel- strike, and the. policeman's strike,, which make fortho .discom fort of the public. If some labor class wont a scrap, thoy .will get it; if jthey am iwillingo 'bo,(led- bysuph avdweiL-TadicalshF Foster, dhoyi will have to pay the, price. The. events of .tho election in Massachusetts and tho turn in tho coal strikd and the settled determination to fight out the stool strike, tell .the fact that the public not only delnand some consid eration but they aro going to havo it. The "Reds" havo taken a lot of rope, you know tho rest of the adage. That this is true is presaged by tho round ups all over tho country and by the events 'following tho killing of sev eral Legion men in the Soattlo pa rade last weok. "Direct ' Action" doesn't go in America yet. Thero Is a real fight on, but wo are optimistic as to tho result. Wo havo heard for a long time about an open labor re bellion, possibly this is it. We have never thought it would como -to a pitched warfare, and the events of the last few weokH do not Indicate wo woro mistaken. Tho "Rods" dare less today to lift their 'heads than over before. Farm Jtuveuu Field 'NoteN C, II. Yoiimr, Count Agent Tho educational tour mado to tho Cudahy packing plant in Sioux City under tho direction of tho Farm Bu roau last Friday afternoon was at tended by about 400 persons, Tho older children from sovoral of our public schools holped ,to swell . tho crowd. Tho Cudahy Company re ceived the peoplo vory courteously and furnished four guides, dividing f tho crowd into that many parties, each being kept somo distance from tho others. Several weeks ago we unnounced thnt two of our farmers had visited in McIIenry county, Illinois, whero thoy had seen Marquis wheat rnlsed. in 1919, as good as usually produced in Dakota county. Wo also stated that this offico had written tho Coun ty Agent at that placo asking for sampler and prlco on this wheat. The sample has not been, received but likely will in a few days". Thoifol lowlng letter states tho price. Lot us hear from you at, onco If you are interested. Call to sco tho sample. Mr. C. R. Young, County Advisor, Dakota City, Nobr. Djoar Mr. Young: Your letter of October 27th at, hand. I am sending you under sepurato cov er a sample of tho Marquis seed wheat which wo have horo in tho county. Wo can supply 2 or 3 carloads of this wheat ot from $3.25 to $3.50 per bushel, cleaned, If you wish to secure any of this wheat I would suggest that you send u man hero to buy same. Very truly yours, A. J. OAFKE, County Advisor. Entries aro now closed for tho In ternational Stock Show, Thoy aro as follows: Cattlo 1979, sheep 1075, swlno 1008, horses' 779.

Tho problem of choosing sultablo'" XT;T7 ,ISZ5 rending matter, for any homo Is nl- fe " TOB?J P2?i. E&?TmE"&2tt&J&SSsiS for tho country homo it is of special interest, since tho family is deprived of contact with other peoplo moro than in tho city. In many rural communities they do not havo tho ndvnntagcs of hoaring good plays, lectures, and concerts as often n.i thoso living in tho city. Since read ing must furnish most of their rccra ntion, the choice of books is moroim- portant. A farm woman said not long ago that she knew of farmers who owned good well stocked, farms, clear ot debt, who had childron in high school nmi W ,im nnt .ni,.rihn fnr nm, nn and yot did not subscribe for any pa pors or magazines.

Theso woro her annual tHp to her' grandmother's and tho weekly arrival of tho "Youth's Companion." In choosing our books some should bo hooka for study, books that will help us in our work, others may bo for entertainment, such as good po etry; for oxamplc, James Whltcomli Riley. It s hot necessary to have n. great number of .books, a few. hooka carefully chosen will hoof much moro value than a great number chosen at random. ,A man after building .a beautiful new home, said, "Now wo must go to town and. get u lot of books to fill up our library." With this man tho kind, of hooks was of no importance, ho simply wanted hooka because- other peoplo had books. It is not usually wlso to buy books from an agent,, unless wo know tholr value and feel sure that tho prico asKeu is not unreasonable. A great amount of reading' does not always mean a great amount of learning. Many times tho reading is too rapid and tho subject matter being readis, not absorbed and di gested. Martin Luther- said, "the reading of'too'mnny'books producoth contusion rather than learning." Car lyle said, "Loam to discriminate in your rooding- to road faithfully." , A valuablo method of reading is by subjects. lorn what the different IlIglllGglililliflliilllilillallllSlIiOBIialiiHBHB rilOTECTION.

It Is often worth while to re-read books. Some of our greatest literary men tell u this is tho most valuablo method of rending. Tho formation of a child's charac ter is largely in tho home. iHere he should become familiar with good books. Chas. D.
