The Progress of the Middle West.

The Progress of the Middle West.
Such splendid commonwealths as
Illinois and Iowa, Wisconsin and Min
nesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
and Colorado, are contributing prodi-
gious share toward the aggrandizement
of the richest and most powerful coun-
try the world has ever known. Such
States should contribute strong, clear
headed, far-seeing, and independent
men to represent them in councils of a
nation whose actions and policies are
henceforth to be fraught with conse-
quences affecting all mankind. The
progress of these remarkable States
can, of course, best be understanding
deed, it can only be understood,-by
riding across their rich and beautiful
stretches Of farm land, now as fair as
the best parts of England or France,
and by visiting their well-shaded and
we'll kept towns and cities. Much can
also be learned by inspecting their
State buildings at the worlds tair at
st. Louis, and by studying the exhibits
which show their products, illustrate
the work Of their institutions, and ex-
emplify their methods in agriculture
and industry. The Eastern man who
does not know the middle West and
thinks of visiting the fair would do we'll
to plan his trip in such way that he
could at the same time see something
Of number Of Northwestern States,
travelling in daytime in order to note
the beauty and wealth. of the farm
country, and breaking journey at the
leading towns and cities in order to
get some notion Of their achievements
and charms. = From "The Progress OF
the World" in the American Monthly

HAND SEPARATOR
CREAM INFERIOR

To the Albert Lea Times:
AS I believe the action taken by the
directors of the Geneva Village Cream
cry Association recently is of interest
to the creameries of the county and
state, I send you these notes.
The Geneva village creamery has
been steadily gaining ground so that I
believe that our creamery compares
favorably with any of the creameries
in the county. We ship out now an
average of ninety tubs each week, but
for the last two or three months there
have been special efforts put forth by
hand separator agents to introduce the
farm separator by getting them in, in
every way possible, by scattering them
through our territory either by sale or
on trial or any way to get them into
the hands of our patrons.
Statements made by those who own
farm separators and the agents selling
them have caused dissatisfaction
among the whole milk patrons because
they are not treated fairly for two rea-
sons. First, it is admitted by nearly
all butter men that if the butter made
from hand separated cream was sold
on its own merits, it would sell for at
least one cent less per pound than that
separated at the creamery and there
fore it is not just that those bringing
whole milk should help pay this and
not get any returns for it. Second, it
is difficult matter to test the whole
milk correctly and much more difficult
to test the cream, and the growing
sentiment is that the cream patrons get
the advantage there, no doubt caused
by the high test Of the cream. .:
1t is also claimed by owners ofhand
separators and agents that they get
more out of their milk in checks from
the creamery when separated at home.
So to be fair to all the board decided
that after July 1st we would pay one
cent less per pound for bntter fat from
farm separators than butter fat from
whole milk.
We believe this will be fair deal all
around, because it is admitted by but
ter men generally that the commercial
value of hand separator butter is at
least one cent less than that separated
at the creamery. It is also admitted
and proved by many cases in Iowa and
Nebraska and few in our state that
where the hand separator and gathered
cream system is practiced, it ruins the
cooperative creamery industry so sue
cessful in our state and also Injuries the
quality of butter made.
Now if the other creameries of the
county will take this matter up and
act similarly I believe the farm separ-
ator question will be solved for while
and justice will be done to all. Why
should not Freeborn county take the
lead in this also?
Respectfully,
L. P. LAWSON.

LUCAS HAS A BOOM.
Cooperative Association and Other
Enterprises Start Up.

Lucas Kan, Oct. 29.-The Russell
County Cooperative association,
chartered for $25, 900, is already at
work on their business house in Lucas.
The building will be SOx1OO feet and
two stories high. The second floor will
have a convenient hall for meetings
and theaters, and will be 40x100 feet.
The president of the association is A.

This building is the largest in Rus
sell county, and equal to any in size in
north central Kansas. The association
will carry full line of all kinds of
goods usually kept in stores of this
kind.
Another big enterprise for Lucas is
the Farmers Elevator, Mill ard Coal
company, also chartered and doing
business. Alfred Dorman is president;
J. Q. Cooper, vice president; Edgar
Nichols, secretary, and H. A. Barton,
treasurer. The stockholders are prom
inent people of the county.
Lucas has grown to be a large
grain center, there being four ele-
vators and all doing something. The
place has a good telephone system,
connecting with all neighboring towns.
During the year now closing more than
twenty residences have been erected,
including those of B. G. Scriven, H. w.
Wilcox and VIM. Friend, which are
modern and cost from $4,000 to S.
900. Lucas has all the conveniences
of a state bank and newspaper, besides
it is progressive so it can support city
marshal and a street sprinkler.

A Bond o. Sympathy

The inside nerve system is plainly the
most important system in the human
body. Our life rests on the action of the
vital organs. While they work we live.
When they stop we die. While they per
form their duties properly we are well.
When they perform their duties poorly we
are i'll. And the vital organs, each and ev-
cry one, depends upon the inside nerve
system, for it not only regulates them-it
operates and controls them.
The work of the inside nerves is not
only the most important-it is the most
iaborious. For our other nerves are exerted
only at will. We think and talk and ex-
ercise only feel inclined, and when
we are tired we rest. But the stomach,
the heart, the liver, the kidneys, must
constantly and continuously-day and
night-fresh or tired, perform their neces-
Sary duties We have no way of knowing
even that they are tired or at fault save
the weakening of the organs they supply.
But this strong bond of sympathy has
a useful purpose. For it shows US clearly
that all are branches of one great SyS-
tem-that if we make the system strong
we strengthen every branch. This is why
so many ailments be cured by one
form of treatment. For almost all sick
ness is nerve Sicln eSS-inside nerve sick
ness and other kinds of sickness, such as
purely organic arrangements are fire.

treatment.

have called these the inside nerves for
simplicity's sake. Their usual name IS

call them by this name because they are
so closely allied-because each is in such

to become impaired, the others weaken
That is why one kind of sickness leads
into another. That is why. cases become
complicated" For this delicate nerve IS
the most sensitive part of the human sys-
tenn.
Does this not explain to you some of the
uncertainties of medicine-is it not a good
reason to your mind why other kinds OF
treatment may have failed.

that it goes right to the root of the trou-
