A Successful Contest.

The prize offered by S. T. Wip.
rud, of Casey, for the killing of
gophers in his section, seems to
have resulted in many of these an.
mails being killed. Mr.. Wiprud
divided the purse into four prizes,
the first prize being awarded to
Ed Holtan, who brought in 1929
gopher tails; the second money
wac won by Adolph Anderson who
had $50 tails; the third prize went
TO Chas. Burroughs with 952; and
the fourth prize was won by Fred
dy Martell who had 9l7 gopher
tails to his credit.
The contest closed April 80, and
Mr.. Wiprud informed us that 1900
gopher tails were counted by him,
and is more than satisfied with the
results of the contest. 1t is now in
order for some one else to put up
a purse for the month Of May. A
few more contests like the one
held at Casey the gopher problem
will not be such a serious one.

Strike a Balance.

The difficulty with most of us is
to learn to live sensibly and sanely.
We are in danger of going to ex-
tremes. We either take life too
seriously, or we dwaddle about it
like lazybones. The thing is to
strike an effective middle course.
Most Of us nowadays seem to re-
gard it as a great mill in which the
earlier we go to mork and the later
we stay, the better for all concerned.
We want to do great deeds, to &C
cumulate a lot of money, to reform
somebody or something. Now, it
is certainly wrong not to be awake
to our privileges and opportunities
for work, and not to get joy out of
doing something that will make the
world happier. But there is a time
to loaf and be glad also. There is
virtue in being a happy citizen, as
we'll as an active one. Life is Sc
rious. but not so serious that we
need to go about with a sour coun-
tenance and a book of rules. The
wise man is n who hits a nice
balance in his affairs, who is not
wearysomely strenuous nor a faccid
shirk.--Womans Home Companion

made this innovation here in steam
breaking, by selling two such out

iment then, still one rig that sea-
son broke nearly 700 acres. The
total area engaged to be broken by
the above named parties this sum-
mer amount to nearly 10000 acres.
The Moline Breaker Gang Is
undoubtedly the only satisfactory
pillow for steam breaking, and the
celebrated Minneapolis traction en-
CINE, which is used with each of
these rigs, is especially adapted to
this class of work.
