Recent experiments IN Germany have
shown that bacteria die off more quick
ly on walls coated with oil paints than
on those where lime, size, or enamel
paints, and various proprietary paint
preparations, are used. Prof. Loefler,
In consequence of these experiments,
has recommended the use of oil paints
only for the interior of houses, schools
and barracks.

THE OLD GRINDsToNE

How dear to this heart are the scenes of my
childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view;
The orchard the meadow, the deep-tangled
wildwood,
And every loved spot that my infancy knew
But back of the house. in the fierce burning
sunshine,
Far far from the shade of the wide-spreading
oak,
Stood that bane of my childhood, the rusty old
grndstone
Which my task was to turn till my back nearly
broke.
ChoruS.-O the old rusty grindstone, the
creaking old grindstone,
The hard turning grindstone that stood by
the well.
How oft I've been summoned from my rec
reation
To turn that old grindstone, no mortal can
tell
While louuging about. laughing at my vexa-
Lay the idle young Farmland hated so well,
And how the big men bore their weight on that
grindstone
And how they did swear when compelled by
exhaustion
dropped by that grindstone that stood by the
well.
Chorus.-O the old rusty grndstone, the
creaking old grindstone,
The hated old grindstone that stood by the
we'll
How dear to this heart were the tasks of my
childhood
Compared with the grindstone that stood by
the well;
The long, weary days when l sawed, split and
piled wood,
And every sad tale that my child-life !could
tell
/ loved the old home and the valley before it,
The mill, and the rock where the cataract
fell;
loved each green field, and the clouds float
ing DER it,
But not the old grindstone that stood by the
well.
ChoruS.-O the old rusty grindstone, the
cracking old grindstone,
The internal old grindstone that stood by the
well!

One OF our clergymen last Sunday, in
announcing the change of the hour of
the second service from to 4:3O
o'clock, remarked that the Almighty
fixed the hours of the temple service at
600 A. NJ. an P. M, adding that
evening services are modest innova-
ton which has no warrant in the Script
ures or in anciet ncustom.
There is something in the thought.
We are all turning night into day. The

evening at home is the exception
What with our lodges and clubs, and
societies, and dances, and shows, and
concerts, and whist parties, and read

our homes are deserted. Only the
aged, the infirm, the sick and the very
young children can be found at home
after dark. The motto of most men
and of some women, seems to be, "Ont

AUTOS FOR UNCLE SAM.
Five are Being Made for Service in
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Journal:
Preparations are already under way
at the plant of the Republic Motor
Vehicle company in this city for the
early completion of the five automo-
blies to be built in accordance with
government requirements for the use
of the postoffice department in Mime
apolis.
The gears will be of the standard
kind used by the Republic company,
the motors fourhorse power electric
with capacity of from IL to 10 horse
power overload. The wheels will be of
wood with very heavy solid rubber
| tires The bodies will be about eight
feet long, the top solid wood with a
| canopy and dash in front for the
drivers protection. The bodies will
be painted blue with the government
U. S. NJ. in letters on the sides. The
front and back of the CARRIAGES are to
be protected with heavy gratings Sc
curely locked. The vehicles will weigh
2 200 pounds with capacity of not less
than 1000 pounds of mail.
Applications are coming in every
day for the position of chauffeurs.
Mr., Linton intends to employ students
in the electrical engineering depart
ment of the university on Sundays and
at night. The vehicles will have a
running time of not to exceed sixteen
hours each day.
The city will allow a running rate
of six miles per hour down town and
ten miles outside. The automobiles
will have the right of way the same
as the wagons now in service.
The postofice department has &C
cepted the bid of j. F. Linton, man
ager of the Republic Motor Vehicle
company, for automobile service, be-
ginning Jan. 1 and continuing until
June 80, 1908, at a contract price of
SIT, 312. So per year. The bond of $50,
600 has been approved and the contract
will be forwarded in short time for
signature. The department.has waived
the clause calling for sixth reserve
vehicle of standard size, although Mr..
Linton will always be ready for emer-
gencies. At the expiration of the con-
tract the government will advertise for
bids for furnishing service for fonr
years at time. There are federal
statutes controlling all government
contracts, and each contract must con-
tain numerous little details called for
by the statutes. Old contractors I'M
derst..and this, but there is always more
or less trouble in breaking in the new
contractor, who does not understand
why the government should be so much
more particular than other folks.

tions.

From the Enterprise:
A telegram was received on Tues
day, announcing the death at Fond du
Lac, Wis, of Mr.. Jacob Thurman,
father of Mrs. John Strobel of Medo.
The deceased was one of the early
settlers of Wisconsin and had reached
the good old aga of sc years.
The box elder bug nuisance is GER
tainly one deserving of attention.
With a proportionate increase another
year it will be necessary to cut down
all the box elder trees in the village,
to rid ourselves of the pest, which
would be great loss to the beauty of
the town. At present they are every
where, crawling into every crack and
crevice.
County Surveyor Walter Brooks in
spected the work on the Medo-D anville
ditch Tuesday and is more than pleas
ed with the progress of the work.
Over five miles of work has already
been completed and he is confident
that another mile will be finished be-
fore it freezes up as the contractor,
W, II, Tidland has % teams at work
on the improvement.
The bed of the lake at Minnesota
Lake burned out Wednesday. Great
clouds of smoke poured over the sur
rounding country for hours. 1t seems
incredible to think of fire running
over this land, where few years ago
water stood to the depth of from three
to six feet. 1t is now intended to
ditch the land and work will com-
mence Monday.
Messrs. Chas Jones, Manfred Bene-
dict and George White, the viewers on
the proposed big ditch north of town
to the Cobb river, were in town this
week and together with County Sur
veyor Brooks went over the proposed
work for the purpose of appraisment
of benefits to the land effected. When
they have completed their labor day
of hearing will be set.
There are some people who think
that because the village lookup is a
thing of the past that they are at
liberty to do as they please. Law and
order however, is not thing of the
past in this community, as couple
of fellows found out Friday. They
had the pleasure of paying good fine,
and if others want TO follow in their
footsteps it will not be long before the
assessment will be sufficient to build a
new lookup.

WANTS BETTER ROADS.

Mr.. VIM. Wiss&Nwrites the Mapleton
Enterprise as@8ows regarding the
matter of good roads
have been around some the last two
years, as you know, and have visited
some very fine country, cities and vii
lagos and when | think of all have
seen am of the opinion that this part
of the world in as good as any l have
seen, in nearly everything, but there
is one thing in which we are behind
the age. refer to our roads. Now
have been up near Grand Forks some
months, in the Red River Valley and
find good roads. I think these roads
are all we'll rounded up with ditch
on both sides about three feet deep !;
water runs off and the roads never rut
much. 1t is true the soil has more
sand in it than ours and that is in
their favor, but I think our roads
could be kept in good condition if we
had them we'll rounded and would

time after a rain, just as it is getting
little dry. That country has not been
settled as long as ours, but they are
way ahead of US on roads. saw, by an
article in some paper, that two of our
southern states have proved that good
roads can be had by union of clay
and sand, in many places this could be
found here. don't believe the far
mers here can go to any great ex-
pense, but they certainly can turnpike
the roads and harrow when they get
rough The road must be made even
when first made by harrow. This
scraping of dirt on the road and leav-
ing it without getting it perfectly
smooth won't do. Will not the village
of Mapleton commence this work and
show the farmers what can be done at
very small expense and If am not
mistaken it will not be very long be-
fore we would have roads that would
allow us to have rural delivery any
where in Mapleton or Sterling.
