THE EARLY RISING FALLACY,

The old saying, ''early to bed and
early to rise, " when applied to modern
ways of living, has its drawbacks.
For example, people who make it a
rule always to get up at o. clock are
not able always to get to bed early,
consequently their rule simply makes
them lose sleep. Early rising is not
necessarily good thing. Every per-
son should determine the amount of
sleep he requires and then should be
sure to get it, early or late. If you
want to sleep we'll drink Golden
Grain Belt" beer for it quiets the
nerves and relieves the brain. Have a
case in your home. Order of your
dealer or be supplied by M. J. Smith,
Mankato.

HOTTEST FOR JUNE.
Yesterday Broke all Previous Records
for June.

Yesterday was the worst day
throughout the country so far as heat
was concerned, ever known in the
month of June. Never before in the
city OF New York, according to the
government record covering period
OF tnlrty-one years, has there been such
gh temperature on June day.
Hlgh up in the government tower in
that city the temperature registered
10 at CLOCK p. M, while down on
the sun baked pavements at 3 80
o CLOCK the record was 1918 degrees.
AS result of this intense heat there
were sixteen deaths and twenty-six
prostrations. Had it been on a week
day, the list of deaths and prostrations
would have been swelled to much
larger proportions.
Thousands left the city for the sea
shore and mountains, while the parks
were filled all day, and it is estimated
that 200, 600 were at Coney Island
alone.
= But hot as it was in New York, it is
said to have been hotter in Phila-
delphia, where the temperature reach
ed 100. At Kansas City and st. Louis
official thermometers registered 100 and
102 respectively.
Chicago broke all records so far as
June heat was concerned since 1872,
the official record being 81, while in
the street many marked as high as 1O4
to 106. Temporary relief was brought
by northeast breeze in the early eve
ming; but at eleven o'clock in the eve
ming 80 degrees was marked. There
was intense suffering especially among
the poorer classes, but no fatalities
were reported. Forecaster Cox, of the
weather bureau service there, said that
the prospects for today were still
hotter.
Baltimore doomed up as the second
hottest place in the United States, the
government record showing SO.
Hardly breath of air stirred there
all day. One death and several pros
trations were reported.
In Pittsburg from midnight Satur-
d ay to eleven O. clock last night there
| were eleven deaths directly attribut-
able to heat, and fifteen prostrations
In addition, many children are said
to have succumbed.
Throughout New England there was
slight improvement over that of the
three previous days, there being
slight breeze. But in the cities there
was intense suffering.
WASHINGTON reported intense heat.
Cleveland the hottest of the year. At
Des Moines a hot wind prevailed all
day and corn commenced to wilt under
it, while the oats will be materially
damaged. At Cincinnati the Their
mometer recorded o.
Throughout Nebraska the heat was
reported as intense.

An Old Three Tined Fork.

We have in our barn an old three
ned fork. There is nothing peculiar
about it only that we have had it in
constant use for 35 years. 1t has had
we do not know how many handles,
but the tines are as good as when it
was new. 1t handled the wheat from
the shocks of a big Minnesota wheat
field in the Sixties we have thrown
big pickerel out of the sloughs with it
in the spring of the year; we have
used it at the tail end of straw car

seemed worth the living and the sun
seemed as though it would never go
down 1t has been jabbed into vi
cious bull, thrown at the neighbors'
hens when they were tearing up our
early sown peas. 1t stands in the
barn today mute reminder of all the
hardships and pleasures of the pioneer
days spent in developing western
frontier farm-of lazy OK teams, big
breaking plows, johnnycake three times
a day, sorghum strip, prairie chickens,
mallard ducks, prairie fires, markets
70 miles away, faithful old friends and
neighbors long since gone, six pounds
of sugar for 81 and 5 per cent for
money to pay taxes with. 1t is the
only thing left of all the farm equip
ment of those early days, and we will
keep it for the sake of the old and by
gone time.

Saturday evening as a gentleman,
his wife and little daughter were driv-

blast was fred in the quarry by the
road. Stones flew in every direction
and big one passed about three inches

The other day while blasting was

1t is reported that a stone recently

The conditions for grain are said to
have been quite serious in the western
part of the state last Tuesday and We'd
nesday owing to the extreme hot weat-
her accompanied by hot winds that felt
as though they had come directly off of
furnace The change to cooler weather
Wednesday together with the rain that
fell is said to have revived the wiited
grain, and it is not thought the dam
age will be as much as was at first ex-
pected. Crop prospects are said to
continue fine throughout the north
west and this cool weather will greatly
enhance them. However, farmers will
watch atmospheric changes
from now on, as the crop is fast arriv-
ing at the critical point in its growth.

Duluth is place where the weather
does not get warm enough to raise
corn, and because the Free Press refer

TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED.

Government Prepares IA Comtnuni-
cation.

Washington March 6. 49, The Hay
Pauncefote treaty intended to replace the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, relative to the
construction Of isthliian Waterways, is
dead The death was caused technically
by the fact that the last clause of the
treaty allowed only the period of time up
to March 4 for its ratification Neither
the government of the United States nor
of Great Britain appeared to have made am
effort to extend that period.
Though the treaty is dead from the.
point of international law, it may still
serve purpose. 1t is understood here
that the British government either has,
or is preparing, a communication to the
United States government based ON the
senate amendments, analyzng them
/ carefully, pointed out their probable eff
feet upon the original proposition as seen
from the British side and perhaps suggest

While it is impossible to predict in ad~
vance of the receipt of this comnuniea~
ton Just what attitude the state depart
ment will assume toward it, there is rea-
son to believe that it will be taken in
good part, and that negotiations will be
resumed for the conclusions of new
treaty with IA view of meeting, if pos
sible, the objections raised by the senate
