We have built several excellent lines
of railroad ION paper) for Spirit Lake;
but, somehow, the people don't seem to
patronize them. III fact. they appear
to have the most OverWeening faith and
confidence in-doing nothing. Possibly
ut some future time, when the moss has
grown on our roofs, we may be obliged
to let a RAILROAD run through the town.
Well try mandamus first, though

Why not join us in agitating the mat
ter of a narrow-gauge to Fort Dodge.
That would bring you within an hour

would send you scores of pleasure and

which lie could remember nothing, very
much as though Worthington man
should forget a five OF ten cent invest
ment. lie was very generally respected
but he was hated by smaller business
men because he had the power to crush
them out and sometimes used it.

The KING Of the Texas cattle raisers
is probably Capt. Richard King. Ia
March last he sold to one person from
Kansas %, 1000 head of horned cattle tall
out of MS own stock for the sum OF
1927 500, deliverable il Hays City, Kan
sas, $4,000 paid down in cash and the
balance or delivery; and in April he
sent of the stock in thirteen droves
which arrived all safe. To be certain to
have the requisite number to be delivered
he added 5000 extra head, and still had
left some $4,000 head. besides 10000
head of sheep and 5000 or 5000 head
of horse and mule stock He has some
$4,000 acres Of land under fence and Is
now fencing in $4,000 acres more, and
still has 10000 acres in and about the
same tract. 1t took 700 men to drive
this lot Of stock. and upward OF $4,000
for the outfit. This statement shows that
a large business may be done in farming
as We, as other kinds OF business and
probably the profits are pr9po.tionally
large, but great risks attend such enter
prises.

See what Your IiJs Wants.

We can not too often remind the farmer
of the necessity Of keeping his farm uten.
sis in perfect order when in use, aud oil
protecting them from the rain and snow
when not in use. Every body knows that
much more labor can be performed with
a good tool than with a poor one. What
boy even does not know that his hoe
works better for being bright, and with
the handle of the right size and length .
What plowman does not know that he
can turn finer furrow with a bright
clean pillow that with a dirty and rusty
one? If the team could speak, they
would tell you that their labor is less with
bright PlOughshare. q well-oiled axle,
and nicely-htting yoke or harness. Il
is both economy aud humanity to take
special pains that these seemir gly uuim-
pOrtant details are promptly and faithful
ly attended to.
But, while the huSbandman is placi .
everything in "apple-pie" order, We
would suggest that he devote some atten-
tlOn 10 that part OF the labor which his
wife directs, or, perhaps, performs. She
needs score Of little trifiDg Jobs per-
formed which will be no TRIES. when her
comfort and convenience are considered.
The wood needs to be split fner-some Of
it is too long. She needs something TO
kindle the FIRE with quickly. when you
are in hurry and are withal a little fret
ful at delay. A shelf or two may be
handy to have" \ screen for the kitch-
en- window or a new window for light and
comfort may be within the range of posi-
biitiy. Some hooks in closets or be-
hind doors may assist her in keeping
things picked up" The four-barrel
may need cover or the wash-tub NAV
need hoop. The mop may need re-
constructing and the old broom may
need replacing. In thousand ways in
any moment Of leisure you will be able
TO so assist your wife and tighten her la
Dor that she will appear TO have grown
ten years younger in a single hour. Try it.
