A Good Highway.

An important piece of roadwork has
just been completed east Of this CITY in
the township of Melrose at a cost Of
$500, which will be of inestimable val
ne to Melrose, Sank Centre and the
county at large. Starting at a point
near Cedar lake thence eastward for
two miles. as good piece of road
work has been done through the tam
arac swamp as can be found in the
west end of the county, shortening the
present line fully two miles. The adj
vantage to this city Is in that it makes
that territory in the northern part of
Melrose town far more accessible than
heretofore, giving an excellent outlet
for the farmers and their products
chiefly wood for fuel-to this market.
Melrose is benefited most of ali as it
gives very large number of her citi-
zens greater conveniences and en-
HANGED value to lands, and opens up
a vast area to immediate settlement.
In addition to the road bitches have
been dug draining a large amount of
swamp land, and the county will re-
ceive the benefits arising from an in
crease in population and taxable prop
erty. The cutoff decreases the distance
fully two miles to the center of Mel
rose. There is nova continuous line
of road eastward from here to the CEN
tire of Milwood, and with just a little
additional expenditure in that line,
the road to the Mississippi river will
be the most direct, stretching across
the county. The money, under the
direction of Chairman Dryer of the
Melrose town board and commission
er Smith, has been judiciously and
economically expended.
The county of Stearns appropriated
$500 for the work, Melrose giving 5000
the city of Sauk Centre 800 and TIE
citizens 800, raised by subscription.
Much more money could be profitably
expended on the same class of work
in other localities.

THERE came to the depot one day

THERE came to the depot one day
this week party from the country
a family-to bid their son goodbye.
1t was his first trip away from his
parents. He was man-grown, full of
life and vigor, yet tears were in his
eyes and as the train paused beside
the platform, and he grasped the hand
of his father his voice choked, and
when he kissed his sister her tears
mingled with his. People laughed,
and the boys sneered, as far down the
road his fiuttering handkerchief waved
final adieu; but it were better that
such scenes were more frequent home
ties more sacredly held. Too many
boys are ashamed of the moist eye and
the caress of the home folks. Life has
little enough to look back upon, if the
separation from home causes no shad-
ow of regret and the parting from
mother no tear of sorrow. Home is a
mockery that brings up children to
part with them as they would horse;
and still it is true, and sadly so, that
many men are more careful of their
hogs than they are of their boys.

The St. Cloud Journal-Press wants
to know why it should be necessary
for man to GO up and down the State

DRINK AND INSANITY.

The cause OF insanity In Great Brit.
ain has been the subject OF investiga.
ton recently by Prof. ]. Holt School
ing, u member Of tae R1yal Statistical
society. anu the rssulla at which he
hRs arrived furnish another strong
argument for the temperance cause.
He finds that out OF 500 persons In tho
United Kingdom there is an average
OF one who goes insane, and that
mental diseases are on the increase; he
states that OF 10000 persons in Eng.
land anu Wales 3l.j are suffering from
mental derangemeni; in Scotland the
proportion is SO Of 10000 persoE1 and
iu Ireland 1913.
Speaking o, the causes, the pro lessor
avs 1915 per cent of the insanity is
causei by drink; 1871 by business
lrouble'; 1872 by old age; ny religious
scFuples and only 8 2 by love. Accord
