Lakefield Standard: We notice
that several Of our exchanges, which

" in favor Of it. The present crisis
In the nations affairs has brought
small bore statesmen to see what,
great statesmen, like Senator g. K.
Davis, foresaw months ago, viz. the
vast strategic Importance Of the.
islands in time of war.
Luverne Herald: L. Z. Bryan is
responsible for the best sheep story
yet reported. He has thirty ewes on
his farm in Kanaranzi township and
these thirty ewes have brought him
an increase this year of sixty-fve
living lambs. Robert Rolf, who is
modestly of the opinion that this re-
cord Is hard to beat and IL anyone
has anything better to report he
would be glad to hear from him.
Wells Advocate: The United States
IS not getting as much sympathy from
the South American repu blics as she
should. Several times we have nearly
gone to war in defence of their in
terests, and now some of them ex-
press great sympathy for Spain in

in case Of equal opportunity, the
Twelfth Minnesota Volunteers will
stand at the head of the Minnesota
troops. Their officers are soldiers and
mean business. Insdead of scheming
to be sent where they imagine it is
desirable to go, they calmly go where
they are ordered and that is the prime
requisite of good soldiers.

to place his name and the name Of
his farm on his barn or road gate.
Not only would persons driving for
