Miss Trfxie Clelland, of Mi. Har-
mony, is visitor in our village.
We noticed the other evening our
friend, Mr.. F. L. Miller, formerly of
Fairnont. but now Of Hoult. carrying
home garden hoe, SO We presume
he is going to try the "strenous life"
and EMO all the pleasures Of rural
felicity, though we haven't observed
any hay seed on him yet.
II the werm weather continueswork
will begin in earnest on the bridge
here, though the contractors have
managed to keep things moving to a
fair degree through all the bad wealth
er we have been having. Concrete
foundations are being put in for piers
of the viaduct which will be built of
masonry above the water line, and the
masons continue to la stone at all
times when 1t is not cold enough to
freeze the mortar.
Jas. D. Bowman and Harry NOEL
fresh received an incubator the other
day, the first so far as we know that
has been tried in our village, so you
sec Watson was mistaken, or can it
DO he has tho vision of prophet and
was merely looking into the future?
He says It matches SO eggs every three
weeks, but we Do not presume to
count fo- though It holds hundred
eggs, we might draw o blank when
matching time comes.
Watson pays his compliments to
the Times correspondent at Hoult
1--we had not intended to mention it
as we felt rather ashamed for him
and like the small boy who was kick
cd by a donkey, we merely considered
the source. When the time comes
that we can't run little banter with
other correspondents in absolute good
Ihumor, we will allow some juvenile
eleven to use our head for football
Miss Drusllla Paugh closed a yerJ

Vice President Begins Strenuous

Indianapolis, July 14.-Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks has begun strenuous
campaign for the presidential nominal
resolve not to be a candidate again
has left the course open and Mr.. Fair
banks has determined to make the con-
test interesting for all corners. His Sc
lection. of Senator Hemenway as his
candidate. for chairman of the repub-
lican. national committee in the event
of his own nomination for the presi-
ty certain of landing the plum. 4. (.
Mr.. Fairbanks and his friends real
ize the fact that there will be some
opposition to him in Indiana, but they
are meeting that question with the
statement that Mr.. Fairbanks has been
in politics for twenty years, and every
one would expect him to have some enc
the opposition to vanish into thin air
as soon as he proves that he is master
of Indiana by getting a delegation to
the convention with instructions to
vote for him first, last and all the time.
New Foe of Fairbanks.
It is conceded that Harry New, vice
chairman Of the republican national
committee, and an aspirant for the,
workmanship, Is OppOSeu TO Mr. r alr-
banks, but how far he will carry his
antagonism cannot be determined. He
feels that Mr.. Fairbanks did not treat
| him fairly when, by the dictation Of
/ the nomination Of Hemenway for the
United States senate, he cut New, Lam
dis and others out Of the race, and the
feeling that New has over the affair
/ is shared by Congressman Lands, for
mer Congressman Steele and many who
were supporting them at the time.
In all the counties in which state
senators are to be elected this fall the
anti Hemenway forces are at work Sc
lecting candidates who will oppose his
election in 1909. ], .... i 4
i OF course, if Mr.. Fairbanks is not
nominated for the presi dency,, Mr.. Hem
enway expects to give way for his re-
/ turn to the senate anyhow; but New
and other Indiana leaders are naming
some Of the hold-over state senators,
i and these men are opposed to Senator
/ Hemenway. How they would stand in
/ raspect to Mr.. Fairbanks is not known.

Y. w. g. A. Opens Branch.

The North branch of the Y. w. G. A.
will be opened for the first time. Tues
day at noon. Located at 32l First
avenue S, the branch will be haven
for great many Of the young women
who are employed in that part of the
city, and to whom an accommodate ion,
such as the new branch will be, has
heretofore been an unknown luxury.
Several hundred dollars have already
been spent in furnishing and equip.
ping the branch and it will take sew
eral more hundred dollars before the
tan association will call it complete
in every sence Of the word. The finish
ing touches are being put on as fast
as time permits. ...s.
Tuesday Miss Esther Erickson, the
extension secretary, who is to be in
charge of the branch until the end of
the month, when a new secretary will
be chosen, will greet the young women,
and in celebration of the event coffee
and ice tea will be served without
extra charges. 1t would be hard to
find a more attractive place than the
North branch Of the Y. w. G. A. The
reception hall, tho dining room, the
kitchen and the rest room are fur
nished with q thought to comfort and
utility, and in the many pretty ar
rangements the girls will be able tc
detect the hand of loving mother.
Fully 1900 young women are EN-
ployed within radius Of six blocks
Of the branch and the necessity OF
having the branch will be fully proved
by the many young women who viii
visit it after the opening.

A dozen years ago Miss M. Belle

For the past twelve years, on every
Wednesday evening from June to
Sept. l (unless unfavorable weather
conditions interfered) the Y. w. G. A.
Rowing club has spent an evening on
one Of the lakes Of Minneapolis. Dur
ing the first three summers the club
rowed on Cedar lake-until the size Of
the club tested the accommodations of
the boatmen there. The club then
moved on to Calhoun where its regular
Wednesday evening meetings were held
for four summers. For the past six sum-
summers Lake Harriet has been the
meeting place Of the club. On last
