Business Maxims.

Learn how the other fellows do
things first, and then find newer and
better way to accomplish the results.
It's not the man who simply does
things, but the man who does things
better-for whom the world is seek
ing
Ideas breed opportunity. Habit kills
idea-producing power and exhausts
the mentality. The force of custom
often paralyzes progress.
Quick work is not always good
work. The hasty man is not always
the rapid worker. Good work done
quickly and easily is what is wanted.
A good salesman, backed by anoth-
er good salesman who knows how to
put his srsuasiveness on paper,
holds Whining hand in the game
of business getting.
Do your work once, and when done
let it be finished-don't leave it in
condition to be done all over again.
Employers don't advance employees
who half do things.
If you advertise simply because you
love the game and like to handle the
cards, most any agreeable fellow will
do to help-but If you play to win,
you should choose a good partner.
People won't come to you to buy
high quality goods-if you don't tell
them you've got them to sell. You
can't decite whether there is de-
mand for goods until you try to arouse
it. Can you?

When iron bridges first began to
displace wooden structures, the
change was made largely in the inter-
est of durability This faith in the
permanence of iron as compared with
wood has been justified In measure.
but The Engineering Record notes
the fact that the oldest bridges in the
country have been those built of tim
Der, explaining That this is true only
in rare cases where the life of the
structure has not been affected by the
increase of moving loads. The par
tial failure of iron bridges which were
expected to have practically indefinite
length of years, has been due not only
to the great increase of moving rail-
way loads, but to defects in the earlier
designs. The life of iron railway
bridges has rarely been more than
twenty years, many have been re-
placed in mucn shorter time.

A SUCCESSFUL STATE OF AFFAIRS

The annual roundup, as | may
term it, of Minnesota farmers, is be-
coming more interesting, more sue
cessful with each succeeding year.
More are becoming members OF CO.
operative creameries. This is as it
should be in great state like Mime
sofa, whose stock and dairy interests
overshadows all others, and where
nature, in an especial way, has favored
us by giving us a remarkably healthy
climate, and soil SO peculiarly pro-
ductive as to produce grasses, a mouth
full of which will tickle the palate OF
the most delicate bovine in the land,
and make it laugh from its ears to
the end OF it's tail.
You may smile, gentlemen, but |
will have you understand this is not
Irish humor. It is sober facts. I
have seen stock transferred from
Iowa, and | have seen them when un-
loaded and let out to pasture on June
morning for their first nip of Mime
sofa grass (then usually about ankle
high why you would not believe it
were it not supported by the full

not eat for some time. They would
go rushing about congratulating each
other and playing like lot of kittens.
Sedate and matronly old COWS, usually
well-behaved, would become as risky
as the youngest heller in the lot, and
Timber up until you could tie bow
knots in their tails, their eyes gleam-
ing with satisfaction in which you
might read these words of the poet,
as plain as if you saw them printed
there: ''This is the land we long
have sought, and incurred because
we found it not.'
Is it any wonder the COW would be
happy in a land like this? And if
the man who owns them is not happy
it is because he is not delivering his
cream at the Farmers Creamery.
Just go down there some morning
and see the self-satisfied smile on the
farmers face, and then take look at
the glass, and it will convince you
where to put your next months cream.

without becoming commonplace and
ordinary.
The ladies were in evidence more
than at any previous convention.
Miss Thomas (Quinten) of the Mime
apolis Tribune contributed gem of a
speech, sparkling with Jewels of wit
and filled with brilliant gems of
thought. But once again our truth
telling propensity gets the best of
us and we are compelled to state that
the ladies in the meeting talked a
great deal more about her stunning
costume than they did about her most
excellent paper. Mrs. Moses OF the
Northwestern Agriculturist made hit
with her witty paper and also demon
strated female Inconsistency by pre-
facing her paper with the statement
that she was so busy she must be brief
and then staid in the hall till there
was no one left to help her put on her
jacket.
Beyond all question the most
eloquent speech was the one that Mary
McFadden, the "Pet of the Profess
sion," did not make. She started in
and made a few remarks that fairly
scintillated with wit. Then she
started in to pay tribute to her
former chief, Abbott Blunt of Duluth.
1t was then that her warm Irish heart
got the better of her buzz saw intellect,
her eyes filled with tears and her
utterance became choked with emotion
and she sat down sobbing. Old Pease
blew his nose like fog horn to hide
the emotion he was ashamed to show.
Julius Schmahl forgot he was a
candidate and buried his face in his
hands and for a space of several
seconds the stiffness of death prevailed
the assemblage, thereby paying the
most sweetly eloquent tribute possible
to be paid to the memory of fellow
man. We never were personally
acquainted with Mr.. Blunt but we
have no hesitation in saying that if
when we hike into the hereafter, we
could receive such a tribute as he
received from the brightest intellects
of the "Bread and Butter State' all
the political honors that coul id be
bestowed upon us by our fellow citizens
would be worthless in comparison.

ing a valentine, showed the guests tc
their respective dressing rooms. The
ladies and gentlemen were then given
half of a valentine card and chose
their partners by finding the other
half belonging to their card. The
cards being of comic nature this
created great deal of amusement.
At seven O'Clock bountiful supper
was served of which heart shaped
dainties were a prominent feature.
After the supper the gentlemen enjoyed
social smoke up stairs in room
especially decorated for the occasion
with pink and white hearts, while the
ladies got the tables ready fol
progressive hearts, The ladies and
gentlemen were now presented with
score cards suggestive of st. Valen-
tines day. After couple of hours
