Lesson ofthe Fair.

Progress is written over everything
that is seen at the state fair, so much
so that it is apparent to everyone who
is in the least inclined to notice things.
Most apparent is the exhibit that is
made of the fruits of the states. That
is the most surprising for it shows that
there is raised in the state all the
necessary fruits, and more than this
they are beginning to be cultivated to
an extent that is surprising, and there
are on display a few peaches thathave
survived the late frosts of the spring
and have reached maturity. Every
exhibit this year is an Improvement
on the ones of like varieties that were
there last year, and the live stock is
correspondingly good.
But this is not alone the lesson that
the fair teaches. The greatest is the
Improvement in the people who attend.
Of the thousands of men and women
who are seen there each day of the fair
itwould be hard for a person to pick
out those from the cities and those
from the country.
In former years the difference was so
marked that the farmers were the butt
of ridicule because of their uncouth
ways and the style or lack of style of
their dress. This has almost entirely
disappeared, and the farmer of today
is as we'll dressed, as polished in his
manners and as free from the green
ness of the old ''hayseed' as the
majority of the city people who visit
the fair, and is certainly by far the
better able to appreciate the fair.
This wonderful change in due first
to the public schools and next to the
agricultural college, which is working
one of the strongest revolutions in the
habits and customs of the farmers, and
is enabling them to meet their city
cousins On an equality as competitors
in different line of business in the
same city, and the bands have ceased
playing "When Ruben Comes to
Town" 1t is wonderful revelation
and does not have it's parallel in any
of the other countries of the world.
Whatever of other advantages the
fair has for it's patrons there is this
that exceeds them all; it is cultivating
a democracy among the people that is
bound to have a lasting effect upon
the residents of the state.

Let every man who labors remember
this: It is the man who is not afraid
to do two dollars worth of work for
one who succeeds. The investment OF
labor brings surer returns than the in
vestment of capital.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-09-09

state a lot of political riot regarding
the governorship that has little found
ton in fact and this stuff is being
published by many of the papers,
whose editors have not the brains to
originate their own matter, as original
editorials. It's a pernicious parrot
method that no reputable paper will
adhere to-, and not only demonstrates
that the editor does not know what he
is talking about or is too ignorant or
too lazy to perform the duties OF his
Office, and in either case has no right
to criticise, much less condemn, the
acts of those who have the brains and
the ambition to do something. There
is much to admire in man who does
something, whether he agrees with us
or not, but there is little to admire in
the fellow who constantly knocks and
suggests no remedy, especially when
he uses the words that some other man
puts in his mouth.
Oath too Binding.
Rev. DIR. P. A. Baart, rector of St.
Mary's church of Marshall, Mich, in
a sermon on education says that no
Catholic should consistently take or
keep the oath of some labor unions,
and he mentioned particularly the
Typographical union, part of whose
oath he quoted as follows:
81 hereby solemnly and sincerely
swear that my fidelity to the Typo
graphical union and my duty to the
members thereof, shall in no sense be
interfered with by any allegiance that
I may now or hereafter owe to any
other organization, social, political or
religious 50
. Father Baart said this oath placed
the union before the church and be-
fore the state and distinctly impeaches
the loyalty. and Catholicity of those
who take such an oath. Possibly the
leaders may not have realized the full
force of the words they used in their
oath, he said, but whether they did or
not, every patriotic citizen and every
citizen and every sincere, consistent
Catholic should demand that such an
oath be modified and the Objectionable
clause cut out.

'Tis Ever Thus.

The returns show that some men en-
gagged in beet growing this year made
immense profits while Others came out
behind. But the same is true of all
kinds Of farming. One man will grow
rich on a farm while his adjoining
neighbor cannot make the ends meet.
But beet growing is a new business
that has not yet been fully learned by
the best farmers and after few years
failures will be less frequent. At
present labor is very scarce and very
high and some times could not be had
at all at the right time. Men who
have family of boys and can do most
of their own work can make big profits
Those who have to hire all their abor
take big chances. These things and
the best way to cultivate and harvest
crop will be better understood and
regulated in time and there is little
doubt that beets will be one Of the
most profitable crops that Colorado
farmers can raise.-Boulder News.

Advantages Of subsoiIing.

The principle of subsoiling IS no'
well understood by the average west
ern farmer, too many persons thinking
that deep plowing and subsoiling an
swer the same purpose. The 1act Is
that in many soils the deep plowlng
would be decidedly detrimental while
it is difficult to conceive OF case
wherein subsoiling is not beneficial.
Soil loosened to depth of sixteen
inches or so will not only absorb doub-
lie the amount of water that will soak
into an eight-inch plOwing, but the
water going to the lower depth Will
remain in the soil more than three
times as long. In other words If the
moisture from the upper or first four
inches OF the soil is exhausted in ten
days after irrigating, the moisture IN
the lower four inches-that lying from
twelve to sixteen inches beneath the
surface-should be retained at least
thirty days after an irrigation. The
fact OF the soil being thus saturated
would cause all plants to send their
roots down to greater depths and thus
provide insurance against any but the
most prolonged drouth. Altogether
there are many good arguments in
favor of subsoiling under all circum-
stances, but especially is the practice
advisable in a hard pan country where
the aim is to gather and hold as much
as possible Of the storm waters Of the
winter and to get the utmost good
from each irrigation. During the
pleasant days of the past few weeks
the work of subsoiing could have been
done to great advantage for our snow

OfCOurse II Does.

Does it pay to raise beets? To be
failed that is no criterion to go by, as
few farmers made big money this year
farming. If you have learned how to
grow sugar bcets this season you are
in the swim to make money out Of
beets next year. You went against it
this year perfect stranger to the bu--
ineSs and against the worst odds ever
experienced in the valley to boot,
and you made little money anyhow.
You have the tools paid for and the
experience grated in your mind so
like an old timer.-Brush Republican.

A Timely Suggestion

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply Of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and sat
isfactory when it is kept at hand and
given as soon as the cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in the
system. In almost every instance a
severe cold may be warded off by TAX
ing this remedy freely as soon as the
irst indication of the cold appears.
There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it. Buy
it and you will get the best. 1t always
cures. For sale by G. Lavelle.

Will Green, Mechanic

Will Green is working on an
automobile for John Wertz which
he expects to complete during the
winter. Will is born mechanic
and can make most anything out
of iron or wood that he takes a
notion to. He has made several
gasolenc stoves that give first
class satisfaction, and besides
making most of his blacksmith
tools has made a lathe for turn
ing iron and one for wood and it
would surprise an old mechanic
TO see the neat work he turns out.

When you get IL catalogue from
a big mail order house, just look
itover and see what they will pay
for produce; also investigate and
see what their terms of credit are
in case you do not have ready
cash; how much they will give
toward the erection of a church;
how much they will give to assist
the poor. How much they will
give towards keeping up the side
walks. Notice how much taxes
they pay for the maintainance Of
town and county. After you do
this and receive reply, see if
your home merchant won't do as
well.-Wray Gazette.

Lack ofHeIp a Serious Problem.

The greatest hindrance to the busi-
ness of growing sugar beets is the lack
Of help. A great deal Of dissatisfac-
tion is heard regarding some of the
foreigners employed in Colorado this
year, principally from the quarreling
which took place among themselves.
Over in Utah several hundred Japs
and Indians were employed. The Japs
show tendency to slight their work,
but the indians are said to be the most
satisfactory help ever employed in the
beet fields because they are reliable,
and an effort will be made to largely
increase this source of help next year.
For their work in the spring seventy
Indians received s., 900, with $1,000 for
harvesting. The squaws are reported
to be better workers than their hus-
bands and receive the same pay.
Many of them will work all day with
pappooses strapped on their backs.
The Japs have leased a number Of
farms over there for term of from
three to five years and will raise beets
on their own account.-Field and

How TO Prevent CToup

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first stage of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by G. Lavelle.

Thou, o Christ, Art All Want.

When joys bright CLEAN my path sur
rounds,
Lifting me beyond earth's bounds,
Where all around are heavenly sounds:
Thou, o Christ, art all want.
When obstacles before me rise,
Reaching almost to the skies.
IT'S then my soul in anguish cries,
Thou, O Christ, art all | want.
When sorrows hand is laid down hard,
Breaking through without regard
1t seems to that Diviner guard:
Thou, o Christ, art all / want.
When anguish grips me hard aud fast,
Holding me with thoughts aghast,
Which one by one are soon amaSsed:
Thou, o Christ, art all | want.
When strife its venom enters in,
Subtle, willy, trys to win
This heart by that Satanic grin;
Thou, o Christ, art all | want.
When these in turn my way impede,
Causing more than one heart to
bleed;
say to Him who my soul freed,
Thou, o Christ, art all want.
Thou, Q Christ, art all | want.
Thou, O Christ, art all want.
Fill me from that precious font,
Thou, o Christ art all want...

three miles of the canal, commencing
at a point on the Carson river and
about twenty-three miles from Wads-

The big grader and dItcher which
has interested our people so much as
1t stood near the freight depot. is part
Of the equipment Mr.. Beasley will use
and the MERGED Mariposa pioneer
stage coach is his knock about rig.
Mr.. Beasley has had a great deal Of
experience in this line of work.
He is a large land holder in the
Modesto irrigation district of California
and states that after finding wheat
growing was not profitable in the long
run without depending upon irrigation
that method was sought.
He is now enthusiastic for irrigation
and proves 1t pays by saying that he
| offered land at SIS per acre ard
couldn't sell at $l7 without irrigation
and with irrigation the land finds ready
sale at $50 per acre.
He says the Nevada people are ex-
traordinarily fortunate in having Uncle
Sans aid in building irrigation canals
and being so far ahead of other States
in the work. He was surprised to find
the Truckee river a much larger stream
than he expected.
