The first object in life with the
American people is to 'get rich''; the
second, how to regain good health. The
first can be obtained by energy, honesty
and saving; the second, (good healthy

SCISSOR, Mayor, and City Clerk, of the

BY notified to appear at said meeting

Pine Island Village seems to be 60
ing ahead. We noticed several build
ings in process Of erection. People
still talk railroad, but as you know as
much of that as we do here it is hardly
worth repeating. Suffice it to say that
we hope to see road here at no distant
day.
We notice several new buildings in
Zumbrota. Mr.. George Cunningham's
new hotel is neatly ready for occupa-
tion and is a fine building for the pur-
pose. Mr.. Fred George entertains and
cares for the travelling public in his
usual handsome manner. Fred don't
really need any praise at our hands for
all travelling men "know how it is them
Selves" and one and all have a good
word for him.
We noticed an institution manufac.
tured by Dorman s. Bingham, wagon
makers at Zumbrota, that is calculated
to make it's mark in the world as it has
already made its mark in this part Of
the world. It is nothing more or less
than road scraper mounted on three
wheels. One in front and two behind.
The scraper follows the two hind wheels
and is so arranged that it can be raised
to any desired angle. Will work on n
side hill or on level ground. Will do
good work without plowing the ground,
and will throw the dirt into the centre
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1877-06-13

of the road and leave it all nicely
smoothed or will throw it toward the
outside as may be desired. It will,
with two teams and three men, do more
work in a given time than can be done
in the ordinary manner with dozen
teams and Us many men, and do it very
much better. This am aware is draw
ing it pretty strong, or sounds like it,
but the foreman of road work at Zum-
brota will take pleasure in convincing
the skeptical at any time by doing all
that is claimed for it. That it is =
great labor saving machine and that it
leaves road in good condition is an es-
tablished fact. Yours, &C.,

r renton Letter.

Ed. Adoance: The weather has be.
come colder than we wished, and it is
thought by some that we may have
frosts yet. Heavy coats are agreeable
and gloves not Amiss. Is this not cool
enough for the su!try month of June.
Strawberries are now in season. =
Our supervisors have been making
another attempt to lay "that much
talked of road" through H. Sharp's field
to accommodate the winter travel.
Now We do not blame the superintend-
ents, for some of our townsmen are urs-
ing them to do it. In the first place it
will be som, trouble to lay the road le-
gally, and i: is only used, that is, weuld
be used, four months in the year. In
the second place who is it going to ben
eft the most? Red Wing, Esdaile and
Hartland will be more benefited than
Trenton. Most of the Trenton people
60 through the village to the river,
and we do not think it just 10 tax this
town for the benefit Of others. It
should be a county affair, or the sever
al towns should join in the expense
If it would be rs beneficial to Trenton
as the ferry road is to Red Wing, it
would be made passable in no time.
. j. G. Arnold and B. F. Way are hav.
ing considerable land broke in the woods.
An Esdaile correspondent of the
Herald says that u granger Of this place
il quite busy spying strays and making
few pennies thereby. We would in
form the party that Trenton has no
more pasture than she needs; and as
we do not " wish to be imposed upon,
with justice to, all parties it would be
advisable to let no strays get into Tren-
ton, or others "Grangers' may be out
spying.

VOL. ".

In another column we publish,
at the request of Rev. J. w. Han
cock, County Superintendent Of Ed
uCatlOn, communication on the
question of school books, to which
is added remarks of the editor Of the
Mankato Review, presumlng that
Merrill school book law IS already
a dead letter. This law like good
many others that have been enacted
from time to time, professedly in
the interests Of the people, is so pal
pably impracticable that we never
supposed it could be successfully ad-
n1inistered. u One single provision,
that prescribing the method for in
Producing the books through the dis
trlct clerks, was sufficient to con-
denim it. To have complied with
the law every clerk would necessa-
rily have had entailed upon him the
most onerous duties, amounting, in
deed, to those incumbent upon a re.
tail book dealer, with the additional
service of making quarterly reports
Of his transactions in detail. II This,
with his Other duties, would have re-
quired him to apply nearly all his
time to the affairs of his Office, and
would have fairly entitled him to
compensation of from $500 to 5000
per annum. Had an attempt been
made to enforce the law, the present
district clerks generally would have
resigned and it would have been
found extremely difficult to fill these
positions, unless adequate salaries
were provided. 1t is not, as has
been alleged, the opposition to this
law which has prevented its being
carried into effect, but its own im-
practicability. '@ 81"
We are in receipt of circular
from the commissioner of the gener
al government appointed to collect
facts about the grasshopper or
Rocky mountain locusts, asking a
great variety of questions touching
the habits Of these pests. It oc-
cured to us that, in sending such a
document here, the commissioner be
trayed either ignorance Of the geog
raphy Of Minnesota, or an erroneous
impression as to the extent of
country ravaged by the grasshop-
pers. Certainly one OF the first
things the commissioners ought to
have done, was to ascertain in what
localities the grasshoppers existed,
and this information they could have
gathered from the St. Paul Press,
aided by map of the State.
Our badger neighbors are quar-
reling about the gubernatorial can
dldacy. Mr.. VIM. E. Smith, who
has several times been a contestant
for the republican nomination, again
looms up as prominent claimant
for that honor, but Mr.. Ludington,
the present incumbent, is a candi-
date for denomination. Between
the friends of these the quarrel wakes
exceedingly fierce, and if the half
that either says Of the other is true,
neither aspirant ought to be selected,

1t is now pretty generally believed
that the Merrill book law is dead let
ter, and it is settled fact that the
School Book Ring has gone where the
''woodbine twineth.'
Let district officers now make ar
rangements with publishers for books
at first cost, and we shall have no more
complaint of the high prices charged
for school books.
In this issue we print proposition,
now being generally adopted through
out the State, for the very excellent
school books published by Cowrerth-
wait e. Co., and represented in Mime
sofa by 4. p. Tukey of this city.
We assure our readers that whatever
contract is made with Mr.. Tukey will
be executed to the letter on his part,
and we commend his proposition to all
interested parties.-Mankato Recicw.
