Of Gods will, but it is quite another
thing to realize its meaning and to so
think and act as to bring the will OF God
TO pass. To do Gods will requires an
understanding of what that will is, and
the purpose and ability to do that will
as it is revealed. It would be folly for
the child to attempt to do its fathers
will unless it had clear understanding
OF what that will was. And, further. 1t
would be unlikely to perform that will
gran ing that it did know what it was,
unleS the attitude OF the heart was right
and there were desire to do and ability
to perform And, again. the loving and
wise and faithful father would not ex-
peet or demand of his child that which
he demand or expect less than that
which would call forth the best effort of
the thild. And, further, the father
would not be SO unreasonable as to ex-
pect The child; to perform his will If he
had OF revealed and made plain to the
child just what that will was We have
two viewpoints. then, from which to
consider our topic. from the fathers
standpoint and from the chiId's stand
point; from the standpoint OF the one
whose will is to be done and from the
standpoint of the one who is to do that
will. The father must make his will
plain TO the child and must be wise and
careful to exact or expect nothing of the
child but that which he is capable OF
performing. And the child must seek
to know the fathers will and must have
the desire and purpose to perform it.
And this statemer of the case OF the re-
iation Of the earthly parent to his child
exactly illustrates the relation which
man sustains to God.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1904-08-27

Cd has a will to be done On earth
VI even as it is perfectly done in
Heaven. And that this will may be
perfectly done requires first that God
shall reveal that will to man: and sec
ondi that He shall require not less nor
more than man is able to perform. Man
Oh his part must seek to know what the
will OF God is and then have the desire
and purpose to perform that will as 1t is
revealed to him. This, I think. fairly
states what is involved in the doing the
will Of God. And We must recognize the
tact that the will of the all-wise, all
loving, all-faithful Heavenly Father is
pest for man, even as we recognize ir
human relationships that the will of the
wise, loving and faithful parent is best
for the child. The child is not always
able to seeeit and understands it. He lives
fer the moment, he weighs things on the
scale of appetite and desire, and that
which he wants the most he judges to lie
the best thing for him But not so the
parent. He looks down the years and.
desiring things for his child which will
best fit him for life and its social and
business relationships, he wills this and
that for the child. The child often does
not understand, he cannot see the value
OF doing this or that or of keeping from
this or that Indulgence, but If he is an
obedient and loving child he will cheer
fully say: Father knows best. and do
his best to perform his fathers will.
And this is exactly the case as regards
the relations of God and man.

Man Who Disappeared Has Not Been
Heard From.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Robert Heller, who disappeared week
ago last Friday, has not been found
since. He was forty seven years old,
and was five feet three or four inches
tall. He was slight of built for labor
er, weighing about 125 pounds. He had
a good head of hair, which was quite
black. His mustache was brown and
he had no beard At the time when last
seen by those who know him in the city,
he wore gray suft of working clothes,
dark working shirt, and gray hat.
He was German, but spoke fairly good
English. He had been employed to mix
mortar for the Y. M. G. A. building.
Sheriff Williams, while in Sioux Falls,
S. D., a week ago Monday, saw Heller,
who appeared to be intoxicated. While
Mr.. Williams was talking with Chief
Martin, Heller came up and asked Mr..
Martin when the train left for the west.
1t may be that he went into the har-
vest fields.
Sheriff Williams also saw Heller in
this city the Friday before, and he was
drunk then.

Makes Interesting Tests.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell has
just completed one of the most ar-reach-
ing and important experiments in the
states history. For the past year the de-
partment has made monthly tests and
kept monthly records of a large number
of dairy herds in the state. The COM
plete records show exactly the profit
coming from each cow in each herd, to-
gether with the actual conditions of
feeding and care. The object of the ex-
pertinent is to show what kind of feed
ing brings the best results, as well as to
show the comparative values of the vari-
GUS breeds as money makers, and to
show the relative value of pasturage in
various parts of the state.
Out of the 200 herds tested, the best
result was obtained from grade short
horn COW, eight years old. This COW
gave s,l44 pounds of milk in one year.
produced 1,430.s pounds of butter, and
the owner realized net profit of $50l9
The poorest showing was made by a
full -blooded Durham, which produced but
1875 pounds of butter and net profit
to the owner of only lS cents.

Saws Methods Here Differ From
Those in Germany
Pleased With Reception Accord
ed Him Everywhere.
Will Make Exhaustive Report
to His People.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Gustav Schultz, director of the agricul-
tural school at Soest, Westphalia, Ger
many, who is visiting in this country
for the purpose of making observations
of agriculture, will leave Mankato tomor-
row for Minneapolis. The distinguished
visitor arrived at New York on July Is.
He has been visiting in quite num-
Der of states, and has made quite a
study of the agricultural exhibits at the
fair at st. Louis. Monday he was shown
about the Blue Earth county poor farm
by Superintendent Kiffe. At Minneap-
oils he will visit the state university and
will pay especial attention to the school
of agriculture. He will then travel east
ward, making extensive observations of
the farm methods in the states of Wis
consin, Michigan and New York. He ex
poets to sail from New York about the
last of the month.
Mr.. Schultz states that wherever he
has gone, he has met with the most cor
DIAL reception. College officers, govern
ment officials, professors and farmers
have been ready to give him any infor-
nation he desires, and his report will be
thorough one.
Mr.. Schultz was indeed impressed with
the high degree of efficiency to which
farm machinery had been brought in
America and with the skill the farmers
show in handling it. He was surprised to
see what vast tracts of land one man
could cultivate. Here the system of
agriculture is extensive. In Germany it
is intensive. In Germany more labor
is put upon each acre of land, and hence
the yield per acre is greater. On the
large German farms, modern machinery
is being used, much the same as in this
country, but on many small tract, the
farmers are still cutting their wheat,
oats and barley with scythes.
Another phase of agriculture on which
Mr.. Schultz dwelt at some length was
the constant fertilization of the Ger
man farms. This work must be done con-
stantly on the old soil, or there would
be no sustenance left in it.
Nearly all the large inland towns have
adopted the system of disposing of their
sewage upon the surrounding land. If
the land is clay, SO that the water will
not readily soak off, this cannot be done.

FOR LESS MONEY
Lively Rate War Among the Agents at
Owatonna.
From Wednesday's Daily.

Insurance underwriting in Owatonna
has been demoralized by a rate war
among the local agencies. Fire risks
have been written at about 25 per cent
of the former rates and the majority of
property owners have taken advantage
of the war rates. The result has been
a loss of many hundreds of dollars to-
Owatonna insurance agents.
Several weeks ago the rate smashing
contest seemed inevitable, because the
smaller agencies became convinced that
their larger competitors were cutting the
rates agreed upon by the local under
writer's association. At special meet
ING the matter was adjusted and all fire
insurance representatives signed a new
ironclad agreement to maintain the for
mer rates. Last week it was learned that
some had not lived up to the agreement
and the war began.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property have been reinsured
during the past few days and the rush
at the insurance offices continues. Pub
lie boards, churches trustees and, in fact,
everybody in the city, have cancelled
their policies, received the rebate due and
reinsured for a term of three years, with
nom cancellation privilege clause. The
board of education saved the school dis
trict about $3.50 by reinsuring the school
buildings about the city. Great savings
were also made by the county commits
sioners on the court house and other
county property and the library board
also took advantage of the rate war.
But very little insurance will be writ
ten in Owatenna in the next three years,
because most of the cut-rate policies run
for that time. 1t is not probable that
the old rates will be re-established for
some months, despite the fact that the
agencies, especially the larger ones, are
ruing the day when they allowed the
matter to go as far as it has.

If the following is true it seems
strange there has been no mention of
the accident in the daily press. Mr.. Bak-
er who is member of the carnival COM
pany that exhibited in st. Peter sew
eral weeks ago, was here Monday last,
and reported that the young man who
made the high dive in st. Peter during
the carnival was killed at Marshall, Min
nesota, on Saturday last. He says in
making the dive he struck the side Of
the tank, and only lived three=quarters
of an hour. While we doubt the story
being true we give it as Baker related
it.-St. Peter Tribune.

Berlin, is excellent for the purpose. The
cities buy up dry sandy tracts near
their limits and pump the contents of
the sewers upon them. The soil soon
becomes wonderfully fertile, and the land
is rented out to farmers by the munich
palities. The products of these farms
find ready market in the cities them
selves.

man and is personally attractive and af

mistake in choosing him for the errand

Madisoss Lake Barber Pleaded Guilty
to An Offense.
From Wednesdays Daily.
It appears that Mankato people who
wish to go to Madison Lake to spend
Sunday must get shaved the night be-
fore. Henry c. Wirig, the village bar
Der, was this afternoon arraigned in the
municipal court on the charge of keeping
his shop open on Sunday. He pleaded
guilty and was fined one dollar and costs,
amounting in all to $3.50. He was ar
rested on the complaint of George A.
Hodson, Mankato barber. Wirig said
that Sunday was practically the only
day on which he could get any consider
able trade. He remarked that the farm
ers in that part of the county will have
to go wild and woody after this. He says
he will obey the law, but is afraid he
can't make a living.
