The Virginia mode of disposing of
cases of contempt of court is beau
tifully illustrated by the action of a
Judge who dismissed the charge of
contempt against clergyman, and,
after adjournment, thrashed him
with a cowhide. This is at once
forcible and impressive. and in the
interest of continued litigation.

Gets Badly Burned,

A laboring man named Roster and
whose home is at Kerkhoven was
brought to Raymond last Thursday
night to receive medical attendance
from DR.. Mcmahon. His hands and
face were badly burned although
nothing serious resulted from his
burns. Mr.. Roster was the engineer
of threshing crew who were at work
on the VIM. Rehm farm, five miles
northwest of town. They were thresh-
ing q setting of oats-three stacks
which caught fire from the sparks Of
the engine. Mr.. Roster in trying to
save the separator by running the en-
CINE up to it and coupling onto the
same met with the above stated acct
dent. The separator together with
the entire setting were consumed by
the flames. The threshing rig was the
proper ty of Mr.. Roster and the grain
that of Mr.. Rehm. The unfortunate
man was taken to his home at Kerk
hoven the same evening.-Raymond

A Deserving Candidate,

Among the peoples party candidates
for county offices there is none more
favorable known and deserving of the
votes of his fellow citizens than our
candidate for county treasurer, Ole S.
Reigstad. His eight years. service as
county commissioner has shown what
stuff there is in him. Always on the
lookout for the public interest, watch
ing carefully everything that is done,
an inveterate enemy of ''graft'' in
every shape, steadfast opponent of
every scheme to use the public means
for furthering private enterprises, he
has won the honest respect and re-
gard of all good citizens without re-
gard to party. In short, he has given
to the public service the same con-
scientious attention that good busi-
ness man would give to his own bust
ness. Such men deserve recognition,
not only for their own sake but for
the effect it will have on the public
service. When Office seekers find
that the public, without regard to
political affiliations, will reward good
and faithful service, they will pay
more attention to the public welfare
and less to carrying the favor of party
bosses.
Mr.. Reigstad is thoroughly quail
fed for the place he seeks, and the
people of Kandiyohi county will make
no mistake if they elect him.

PENNY POSTAGE.
The INCIDENT That Led to Its Estab.
Hshment In England.

The INCIDENT That Led to Its Estab.
lishment In England.
Many years ago, when Queen VIC
toria first began to reign, it cost nine
pence to send letter from. one Eng
l1sh city to another. In those days the
POSTAGE was not paid by the sender
OF the letter. as is now customary, but
by the receiver, So, Of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepence when their
mail arrived, and it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters
One day,a man named Rowland Hill
was riding on the outskirts Of a city,
and he saw postman bring a letter to
a young girl and demand ninepence
tor it. The girl took the letter, scru-
tinized it carefully and then handed It
back to the man, saying she could not
afford to pay the postage Thereupon
Rowland Hill. being a kind hearted
man, rode up and insisted upon paying
1t himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed to her bene-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher.
But" said Rowland Hill, don't
you know you are doing something
very dishonest In thus cheating the
government
The girl admitted she did, but there
was no other way to do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident, and his farfamed
idea Of penny postage" was the re-
suit. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but, he fought bravely and
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.-New

WINTER .vETcH.
L Fine Forage Crop-sow Any Tim,
From Auu tn 0ctnrev

L Fine Forage CFop-sow Any Time
From Aug. to October.
Winter vetch. Vicia villosa, is an in
teresting legume that has appeared
under a variety. Of names. It is often
called hairy vetch and sand vetch.
Some have called it Russian vetch,
probably because It originated in Rus
sia. The seeds Of this plant are small,
black, hard spheres resembling sweet
pea seeds. The growing plant also
bears close resemblance to sweet pea
up to the time it blossoms, when q
field Of Vetch appears as sea Of beau
t1ful, blush purple clustered flowers.
The plant is a branching, climbing
vine, a great many Of it's branches at
tanning, length of seven to ten feet
A full grown crop even in three foot
rows forms a dense mat, completely
covering the ground to the depth of
one to two feet. When grown with q
crop Of wheat, rye or other strong
growing plant, It is kept entirely above
the ground.
If the seed be sown In early spring,
when the ground is moist and the con-
ditions generally favorable for growth,
the plant will develop rapidly. By the
middle of August it will be in full
blossom, although it will continue to
grow and remain green until the
ground freezes in the winter. A few
seeds will be formed in the late fall,
but spring sowing is not advisable If
xxrichoc r. hou - a..
II the seed is sown in the fall-that
is, any time between the LIST Of August
and the list Of OctobeB-it will make
some growth before winter sets in, but
in the following spring will continue
a marvellous growth, developing bios
SONS by the first Of June and ripening
seeds by the middle of July. The fall
sowing is the more desirable for pro-
ducing seeds.
One Of the principal objections urged
against the growing Of this crop is the
great expense for seeds, which are this
year quoted at about 81 per bushel,
while former advices have recommend
ed using as high as bushel and half
per acre. We find that the seed can be
readily grown In this state by sowing
in the fall and harvesting about the
time of winter wheat.
1t IS found, too. that the quantity of
seed necessary can be economical by
sowing with some other crop. A mix
ture Of half oats and half vetch for
spring seeding and similar mixture
Of wheat or rye with the vetch for fall
seeding have proved to be successful
combinations for soiling and hay.
Our observation leads US to recom-
mend the use Of winter wheat instead
Of rye for fall seeding, because the lat
ter will dpen too early and not give the
vetch sufficient time for mature growth.
When sowed with winter wheat for
hay, the crop makes an excellent sub
stitute for red clover and is ready to
harvest as hay by the middle Of June.

Thomas J. Meighen was on that board

HOW TO GROW CELERY.

Water Cultivation and Manure -
Fall Dressing of Nitrate of Soda.
The Importance Of water in celery
culture is often overlooked. The an
nual rainfall in most sections Of the
country is rarely sufficient to grow the
best possible crop, and some means
should be provided whereby the celery
plantation can be watered during the
dry spells. If the grower is so located
that stream or creek can be divert
ed to the land, he is most fortunate. If
it is not possible, then gasoline or wind
mill power may be used.
The local conditions will also serve as
guide in this matter. Subirrigation
has been tried with some success, but
in many instances it Is both expensive
and impracticable. Watering with a
hose or by letting in a stream Of
water between the rows Of plants or
even in the bed itself is generally the
best and most economical way.
After each application of water and
after each rain the land should be STIR
red as soon as the land will permit to
break up the crust formed and to pre-
vent excessive evaporation.
The celery grower should never rely
upon the use Of commercial fertilizers
as substitute for bar1ryard manure
or manure derived FROM the use Of
cover crops. If the soil condition Is
not what it ought to be, it cannot be
made so by the use Of commercial fer
tf1lzers. Nothing can take the place
Of we'll rotted barnyard manure ap-
piled at the rate Of forty or fifty loads
to the acre and plowed under to the
depth Of eight inches. The land should,
If possible, be planted to some hoed
crops after the manure has been ap-
piled SO 90 to permit it to become
thoroughly Incorporated with the soil.

Look After the Bows.

A matter of much annoyance to rail-
way men and officials is the running
about in the yards of boys, who lay
themselves liable to accidents by their
jumping onto trains and in various
other ways become a nuisance. The
matter is one which should deeply con-
Germ the parents of all children, as it
is impossible for the proper authorities
to keep as close watch on such Tres
passers as they would like. There are
very rigid rules covering this point
and it behooves all parents to warn
their children against being in the
railway yards when not brought there
