CHARGED WITH $15,000 THEFT Fred Trimble Indicted for Part in “Thre$hing Ma chine” Robbery Palls City. Neb., ‘.UP> Fred Trimble, of Humboldt, Neb., was bound over for trial at the present term of district court un der $3,000 bond today In connection with the "threshing machine” rob bery that took place on the Joseph Kunhart farm near Humboldt Aug ust 20, 1927. The robbers got be tween $15,000 and $25,000 which had been saved up by the Kunhartfc, the exact amount being unknown because no one knew how much cash Joseph Kunhart's mother had in the threshing machine tool box. It was Trimble's second prelim inary hearing on the charge and was necessitated because irregular ities in the first information were objected to. New evidence was brought out in the hearing today in testimony giv en by W. O. Shepard, of Table Rock. Neb., hotel proprietor, who testified that Durbin Trimble, son of Fred, also suspected of the rob bery. stayed at his hotel on the night of August 19, 1927—the night before the robbery took place. Shepard was unable to tell whether Durbin Trimble stayed there the following two nights, but said he found papers that Kunhart said were stolen from the tool box on August 20. The papers, howev er, have been burned, hence cannot be used as evidence. District court is in session at Falls City, but It is not known when Trimble will come to trial.

They have a market assured and have discovered several methods on raising good specimens of worms, but they cannot decide whether to sell them by the dozen, the gross, the pound, the size of the worm, or by the can. Several sections of northern Ne braska gave out advance informa tion that worms were to be scarce this year, so some Norfolkans start ed feeding the worms in their back yards a special diet so they could market them. One man found that coffee grounds are well liked by the worms and with a few weeks of this diet the worms are tempting enough tn lure the most wary fish, he said. Another grower has his ‘ herd** of worms on a milk diet, pouring the milk on pieces of burlap beneath which the worms are thriving.

Sleep is tne resting time of the brain. The brain cannot be ac tive all the time any more than any other organ. When the brain is active, the result is conscious ness; when the brain is at rest, the result is unconsciousness. We really do not understand how this interdependence comes about; in the present state of our knowledge we have to take It as an ultimate fact of life. The brain seems to require to rest about eight hours out of the 24. All organs work and rest alter nately, though the times of their rest are all much shorter than , the time of the resting of the brain. The heart, for instance, rests only about four-tenths of a second each second. —Dr. D. F. Fraser-Harris in the Forum magazine. RENASCENCE I raised my qulvvering arms on high; And laughed and laughed into the sky Till a!. my throat a strangling sob Caught fiercely, and a great heart throb Sent instant tears into my eyes. Oh! God, I cried, no dark disguise Can e’er hereafter hide from ine Thy radiant identity! Thou canst not move across the grass But my quick eyes will see thee pass, Now speak, however silently, But my hushed voice will answer thee. I know the path that tells the way. Through the cool eve of every day. j God, I can push the grass apart And lay my finger on thy heart! The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart, is wide Above the world is stretched the sky No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand. The soul can split the sky in two And see the face of God shine through, But East and West will pinch the heart That cannot keep them pushed And he whose soul is flat—The sky Will cave in on him by and by. —Edna St. Vincent Milay. »■'■■■■ ■ ■ By Boat to World Markets Prom the Minneapolis Journal. Though they may not have real ized it, the farmers within 100 miles of Minneapolis have .as great a stake in the success of the Upper Mississippi barge line as any group of shippers in this city. If the barge line survives—and it is bound to survive, unless paralyzed by inadequacy of equipment or in competency of management—the time is coming, and coming soon, when the farmer, bringing his pro Juce to the river in his own truck O' er a paved highway, will lay his shipment right on the levee, with rates and the necessary handling charges the only cost items between scattered all over the world. Right today, tinned Minnesota butter is a staple commodity in South and Central America. The Mississippi river all-water route, the low-cost road runs from Minne apolis right through New Orleans to those markets. The whole country knows the high quality of Minnesota's potatoes.

Indeed, with the river transport and motor high ways properly developed, co-opera tive canneries may be as thick in eastern Minnesota a few years hence as co-operative creameries are to day.

'■ ■ -- Is Administered. From the Milwaukee Journal. The United States circuit court of appeals, second district, acting on a test case, held recently that Cana dians working by the day in the United States are not immigrants and are therefore not subject to the restrictions of the immigration law. i The court based its findings on | clauses In the Jay treaty. This i treaty was ratified by Canada and the United States in 1794 and has been In effect ever since. Treaty or no treaty, the decision takes the only sensible view. Men and women who come across the Canadian line to work In our cities each day are still Canadians in every sense of the word.

W N A It is be**i se this particular cut of beef was made popular by the proprietor of a New York pm - lerbouM the eyes of the department of labor which unfortunately administers our immigration law. were sufficient tc bring about the discriminating classification of immigrants. For the department of labor looks up on the immigration question chief ly os a matter of labor regulation and largely ignores the international aspects of the problem. Therefore, when it was made cleaT that border line industries would take the best labor to be found, Canadian or American, even though that might discommode some Ameri cans. the department took to re striction. It was urged to that measure, also, by certain American real estate interests which felt that new suburban developments were languishing because of Canadian competition. Its action was an un warranted slap at our friendly neighbor, but that did not worry the department of labor. If such difficulties as these arc to be avoided in the future, it would seem wise to put the regulation of immigration where it more properly belongs—with the department of state, which can take a better bal anced view of such matters. -44- f Praises Christopherson. (Statement by Congressman L. J. Dickinson, of Iowa.) Congressman C. A. Christopher son, of the First district of South Dakota, was one of the organizers of the farm bloc in the House, has since been and is now an active member thereof. The farm bloc is composed of members from the ag ricultural states working together to promote legislation favorable to the farmer's cause. In the promotion of such legis lation, Mr. Christopherson has been industrious and helpful. He has shown himself to be very familiar with the needs and difficulties of the farmers and has been insistent and constant in urging legislation in their behalf. He was among the first to call at tention to the plight of the farmers shortly after the depression set in. In fact, he introduced the first farm relief measure in congress. This bill he introduced in 1920. Hearings were held by the commit tee on agriculture and much infor mation was submitted by Congress man Christopherson and the wit nesses he presented. Mr. Christo pherson's bill was the pioneer bill rm ♦ entaionf nf form relief 5nH resulted in this question being giv en serious consideration. Subsequently, when the McNary Haugen bill was reported. Mr. Christopherson not only spoke in favor of the measure on the floor of the House, but rendered valua ble service in organizing and hold ing together, the forces favorable to the agricultural industry, thereby gaining for the bill, a substantial majority when a vote was reached in the House. The congressman from the First district of South Dakota is recog nized as one of the most earnest, consistent and persevering workers in the cause of equity for agricul ture. He had unceasingly urged leg islation that would remove the handicap under which the farmers of the northwest have labored dur ing the past years. Further, he has brought many converts to the cause of agriculture by his exposition of the difficulties confronting that pri mary industry. ■--.. —— APPOINTMENTS MADE Indianapolis, Ind.—One year term appointments to the American Le gion National Oriental Committee, confirmed at the January meeting of the National Executive Commit tee, follow: Fred E Kiddle, Oregon, chairman: Frank N.
