this year, Sept. %, "a, Is and 26,
will be superior in every way to any
previous one. Everybody should

Hon. F. H. Lord.

Attention is called TO the State
ment'' of F. H. Lord in this issue
of the JOURNAL. In view of the
expressed desire of many Republi-
cans throughout the county that Mr..
Lord should allow his name to be
presented at the convention as a
candidate for member of assembly
he makes this frank declaration of
his views upon the present issues of
the party in the campaign. Mr..
Lord is too we'll known in this COM
munity and throughout the county
to need any introduction or presen-
tation. A resident of the county
since 1853-practically during it's
entire history-he has always taken
an active part in public affairs, and
always with the public interest in
view. A man of sound judgment,
exceptional business capabilities,
careful, conservative and conscien-
tious, he has been repeatedly honor
ed by his fellow citizens in his selec-
ton to many Offices of trust and
responsibility, where the public
confidence was never misplaced.

Regular meeting every Sunday
evening at $50.
Topic for Sept. 7, Ready for his
coming" Reference, Luke II: 31-40.
Leader, Eleanor Burnett.
Our lesson shows us that as fol-
lowers of Christ our earthly bless
ings will be added if we attend to
the work of God first, instead OF
trying to make living for ourselves
without his help. We ought to live
so that our treasure will be in heav-
en-, not on earth where it may be de-
stroyed. Christ will come at time
when we are not expecting him.
Therefore we should prepare our
selves for him now, and be ready
and watching when he comes. If
you knew President Roosevelt would
be at your home some day
this year, but did not know when
he would come, how anxious you
would be to have everything in or
der, and how you would watch
for him. Every knock at the
door you would think was the knock
of Mr.. Roosevelt. When he would
come he would stay only short
time. Christ's coming is not like
that. He comes at an unexpected
hour; but he comes to stay. He
comes to each believer individually,
and abides with him if that person
wants and welcomes him. This
coming of Christ to an individual
should have three practical results:
First,-Holiness.
Second, -Confdence.
Third, Joy.
When we are looking for Christ
our object should be to Seek the
kingdom of God" The kingdom
of God means the reign of God in
our heart, which is reconciled to
him through the acceptance of Jesus
Christ as our Saviour and Lord"
1T makes no difference whether
Christ comes to the world visibly,
in clouds of Glory, or to you person
ally, in the black shadow of death.
1t will be His actual coming in eth
er case" Both comings are sure.
The coming to the earth may not be
for centurieS-and it may be to-
morrow noon. The coming to you
may not be for years, and it may be
the next hour. The precise time is
uncertain; the precise fact is GER
tain, far more certain than anything
else in this world or in your life"
This meeting has two purposes
to remind us how certain is
Christ's coming, and to urge us to
get ready for it. May it attain both
purposes in every lite. !"

For many years he was chairman of
the board of supervisors of the
town of River Falls, and as such a
member of the county board, where
his business sagacity and good
Judgment were recognized and al
ways manifested TO the general adj
vantage. In 1894 he was elected to
the assembly from this county,
serving his constituents and the
state in the legislature with uncom-
mon distinction for a new member,
and learning much that would add
to his influence and usefulness if
sent again to the legislature. For
six years he has been member of
the Board OF Normal Regents, a
capacity that has brought him into
intimate acquaintance with many
men of affairs throughout the state.

but the street was Young street, not
Kcnsington palace gardens, as some
people fancy. The best of Thaclieray's

he bought from his profits an old house
in Palace green, pulled it down and
built from his own design the quaint
mansion of red brick with stone fac
ings which Bret Harte introduced with
Il tact so moving into his parody sketch

The grade is the most important fac
tor to be considered in the location Of
roads. The smoother the road surface
the road be constructed of earth. stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
be avoided if possible. They become
covered at times with coatings of ice
or slippery soil. making them very diff
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, as
well as dangerous to descend. They
allow water to rush down at such Il
or to carry the surfacing material
away. AS the grade increases in steep
ness either the load hi to be dimin-
ished in proportion or more horses or
