The Republican says Hon. John @
Farmer is President of the Farmers Mu'
tual Fire Insurance Association of Min
neapolls. Well, for once Hotchk1ss has
told The truth. Mr.. Farmer is President
of that Association, and so far as we can
learn, is very excellent officer. There
is no crookedness III his management,
and the Co. seems prosperous-it is, in
fact, the only Minnesota company, lnsur-
ing farm property only, which has sur
vived the past fifteen years, and it has al
ways paid its losses promptly-so what
can be the matter? OF all the names
mentioned for Judge, that of John q.
Farmer CRATES the harshest on the car Of
ye Republican editor. He has given up
Page. And now his song will be, any
thing to beat Farmer. We have been &C.
quainted with Mr.. Farmer for years, and
We believe him to be peculiarly we'll
qualified for the position OF Judge. We
know he is Il good lawyer, strictly honest,
possessed Of excellent judgment, of mild
temper and disposition, and gentleman
in every sense of the word. he would
not use his position to Cypress his enc
mics. He would treat his worst enemy
in court with as much consideration as
his best friend. We are willing to sup
port any good man for the place-but
where in the district is there better than
Hon. J. @. Farmer, of Spring Valley?

TRACY, juno 81, 1917.
Editor Of the Transcript:
Prospecting around Tracy Is increasing,
As the Chicago s. Northwestern Il. X. Co.
is building a main line from here to the
Black Hills by the way OF Fort Pierre,
on the Missouri. There are about 1000
men and half as many teams at work be-
tween here and the State liue. The c.
only pay $1.25 for men and So for man
and team. Property has not advanced
very much yet.
The elevator has been moved over on
the north side Of the track to make room
for the depot and other buildings. The
Marshall people do not think the build
ing Of this road will effect them injuri-
ously. Marshall is 19 mics from Tracy.
We came down from Marshall one week
ago. There are quite number of Racine
people there, and some from High Forest,
among whom are o. G. Gregg and
DR.. Groesbeck. Mr. Gregg has been
spoken of in connection with the State
Authorship. We think he would make
a first class Auditor. He is now county
Auditor of this I4yon) county. The Ex-
amincr pronounced his hooks in as good
condition and order rs any in the State.
We saw Mr.. c. W. Stewart, and Jay
Stewart his nephew, from Racine, here
one week ago. They were on their way
tout west'' to break on G. w. Stewards
homestead in Dakota. Crops look we'll
no gra.shoppers have been seen here this
year. There is very large emigration
west this season, large portion Of it go

.v.np1uIlon OF = Gre at Work,

The completion Of the new Acme edi-
ton of Chambers's Cyclop@dia of English
Literature will mark an epoch in the ex.
pcrience of many lovers of good books.
The announcement that they would pub
llsh a work of such superior excellence, in
a form so convenient and so entirely be-
coming to one Of such high merit, at a price
only nominal when compared with that
ofsimilar books generally, was more than
a surprise to reading people. 1t was gen.
orally supposed to he an undertaking i'm
possible Of accomplishment, except at
great loss Of money, and many who knew
the excellent standing of the publishers
feared that they had undertaken too much,
and would never be able to complete the
work. But it seems they knew their
ground; they have not only fulfilled their
promise to the public, but by undertaking
and accomplishing something so extra
ordinary, have attracted the attention of
almost the entire reading community to
themselves and their various literary en-
terprises, and have secured sale for the
work itself beyond precedent in the his
tory of booksclling, and so great that it
is really remuncrative. This month, with
view TO extending the sale as greatly as
possible, they offer to send sample vol
umes for examination, with privilege of
immediate return if not wanted, or of pur-
chasing the remainder if found satisfac-
tory, as they unquestionably will by all
who appreciate what is choicest in liter
ature. Prices of sample volumes, post
paid, in paper, Is cents; cloth, 25 cents;
half morocco, gilt top, 8 vol. edition, so
cents; half morocco gilt top, vol. edi.
ton, Is cents. They also send free on re-
quest, to any one, descriptive catalogue Of
this and several hundred other standard
and valuable publications which they
sell at prices far below usua! rates. AME-

A Pen Worth Rec omue nilinS,

ZEN NOftn recommending
We have been favored with samples of
the celebrated Spencerian Double Elastic
Steel Pens, and after trying them feel JUS
titled in highly commencing them to our
readers. They are made of the best steel,
and by the most expert workmen in Eu-
rope, and have national reputation for
certain desirable qualities which no other
pens seem to have attained in so great
perfection, among which are uniform
evenness Of point, durability, flexibility,
and quill action. II is thus quite natural
that the Spencerian should be preferred
and used by professional penmen, in
business colleges, counting rooms, gov
eminent offices, public schools, and large
~ throughout the country. Indeed, so
popular have they become, that Of the
"Number One" alone, as many as eight
millions are sold annually.
The Spencerian Pens may be had, as
rule, from any dealer; but when not thus
obtainable, the proprietors, Messrs. wi
son, Brakeman, Taylor & Co., the we'll
known publishers, 1873 and 40 Grand
Street, New York, will send for trial,
samples of each of the twenty numbers
on receipt of twenty-five cents.

Tho Wealthiest Man in Southern H1inne-
sofa.
Mr.. J. G. Easton arrived last Saturday
after an absence of two weeks in the
East He appeared to be we'll pleased
over the recent sale of the Southern Min
nesota railway, of which corporation he
was large stock-owner. We hear II
stated that he intends as soon as possible
to settle up his affairs aud retire from
business. It is also stated that his con-
nection with the various banking insti-
tutions in the State in which he is inter
ested will be severed, with the exception
OF the Chatfield and Lanesboro banks.
The former will be conducted principal,
~ for his own accommodation, while the
latter is to be managed by his two sons,
Fred and Abner. J. G. Easton IS today
probably the wealthiest man in Minneso.

attention to business. Just the exact
amount he is worth we cannot state, but
he can we'll afford to retire from active
business without fearing to suffer in case
of crop tailure.-Chat1feld Times.

The Judicial Outlook.

Not solitary paper in the 10th judi

favorable to the reelection of the pres

And it would be disgrace 10 the dis

except one-it couldn't disgrace any
body or anything.
Judge Page, of Austin, was looking
over the beauties Of Albert Lea last Fri,
day. We presume the judge also had an
ly.-ALbert Lea Enterprise
If We understand the Enterprise when
itspeaks of Pages "carrying the county,"
it has reference only to his carrying the
political influence in his behalf for the
Judgeship. The Enterprise is therefore
evidently mistaken, as Page is not can
didate. He Is wonderfully fond of fish,
ing, though.
Judge Page wants to be reelected.

see the dlling Of such offices 40 those Of
Judge or an Office of Education made q
party matter. The party wire-pulling so
often INDUCED In is apt to result in man
being lifted 70 such position who is not
the best fitted a. to integrity, energy and

draw party lines close enough to please
the most narrow.minded Of political
wire-pullers. Why Can we not oil unite
In IN bipartisan convention to select the
best man to serve us ill as District Judge
during the next seven years term. The
surest way to again entail upon Mower
county the chickering's Of the last few
years, by electing tho present Judge, is
10 split the ticket up into as many peliti-
