left. 1t may look like foolish piece
of work and it really does show more
of the public spirit than is justifiahlc.
The farmer that does this invariably
has a neighbor that wouldn't turn
hand to make the roads smooth along
his place, and 1t oftens happens that
the man that has fixed up his little
strip of road has to encounter chuck
holes and rough riding all the way 10
town. Everybody knows that the
farmers are working together in many
respects and it seems to US that just
a little thinking along the line Of good
roads would induce most Of them to
take up the practice of smoothing the
road. We have read that a road drag
may be made for small sum that will
fill up all the holes and leave the loose
dirt in the middle OF the road. 1t IS
constructed of plank set on edge and
built in v shape, the horses being
hitched to the wide end. The small
end is left open about eighteen inches
while the other end can be made as
wide as desired. The braces on too
must be quite heavy and well secured
One of these could be owned Jointly by
q couple Of farmers and the expense
would hardly be felt. A little work

| TRAIN "NEWSIES" MAKE MONEY.
[Carroll Sentinel
AS the early bird catches the worm,
so 1t fell to the lot of the Sentinel
man, who arrived at the Office one
morning last week before the rest OF
the force had woke up, to receive a
call from a typical Chicago newsboy,
who had given UP his work on the
streets of the great city and has reg
ular run on one of the Northwestern
trains The cause of his early visit
was to purchase papers for sale to GUS
toners on the train. 1t was explained
to him that Carroll has no dailies, that
the latest issue Of the Sentinel was
several days old, that it was merely
local paper of no particular interest to
the chance traveller.
dat don't make no difference" said
he. Everything goes until l strike de
Chicago Eornin' papers. See! Why,
de odder day ! sold a paper six days old
and de bloke was glad to get 1t, too"
So he was supplied with dozen
copies of last weeks Sentinel and the
coin transferred from his pocket to
the money drawer. But the closing
of the business transaction did not
close his visit and few questions
served to draw from him an explana-
ton of how the "newsies' make both
ends meet.
20, it's good job" said he, con-
fidentially. I'VE manage to clean up
about $50 on the de round trip" When
raise of the eyebrows suggested a
doubt of this, he continued: It's dis
way, you see. We don't make dat
much Off, our commissions. Couldn't
make Twin off dem. But we gathers
up the old papers dat has been read
and seIls 'em again or turns EN- in as

being unusually cautious and no orders

Reading-Hat manufacturers, both

Minneapolis-Tra conditions In the

country merchants to delay placing orr

for immediate requirements are freely
placed, but little or nothing is being
done in the way of adding surplus
stocks. Collections are reasonably sat-

THE BENEFICENT STONE PILE.

GrinneIl having passed thru a siege
of burglaries at the hands of trarnps,
the Herald suggests the stone pile AS a
remedy for the tramp nuisance. The
suggestion is a COOL one. The sight
of women feeding a lot of lazy loafers
either because of sympathy or be-
cause they are afraid to refuse, should
disgust the men of any community, so
that they will demand such measures
as the stone pile. 1T is noticeable
fact that towns which keep stone pile
have very little trouble with hoboes.

early days that there was fall or
several feet between Spirit and the
Okoboji lakes enterprising pioneers
dug q race some sixty rods and placed

Mecca of the pioneer for miles around,

of capacity. Sometimes farmers WITH
a small grist had to walt their turn TOT

THE BOY ON THE STREET.
[Grundy Democrat
The boy who haunts the streets
after nightfall without business or
permission, is cultivnting very dan
gerous habit. Any place where boy
has no business is IL dangerous place
for him, whether it is In the street
in the store or elsewhere. A boy that
is alright, likes his home, friends,
books or newspapers in preference to
the class found on the streets with

dead beat of the future.

HOW ONE STORY STARTED.
Esprit Lake Beacon.l
One of the judges best stories was
about the young man who took a sack
of grain to an old fashioned mill to
have it ground into meal. The ponder
Gus wheels revolved so slowly that only
a tiny stream of meal trickled feebly
while the young mar impatiently wait
ed. Finally his patience was exhausted
and he complained 10 the miller
DO you know he said to, Il could
eat that meal faster than your old mill
can grind III"
yes" replied the miller, but how
long could you keep on eating it,
II could keep on eating 1t until
starved" was the conclusive answer OF
the young man.--Register and Leader
In telling this story at Des Molnes
doubtless Judge Wade, congressman
from the second district, had not the
least Idea as to it's origin; III fact he is
