HALES MILL, VA,
Sept. 4th, 1906.
Editor Sauk Centre. Herald;
| see in a recent number of the
Herald, reference to my old friend,
Wash. McNeice, WHO has been resi-
dent of the Centre for ''forty years."
l we'll remember him at the time he
came. He ground my grists and I
always got return, besides the sacks
and string. 1t was forty-ons year
ago the 22nd, ,loi last April when too
anded in Sauk Centre. MIR. NcNeices
and others yet living there, were all
and each the right men for the time
and place. Lhave resided in differ
ent localities, before and .since, and
in all found the golden grain of early
manhood ripen up into the full re-
quirements of the hour. But-no-
where have ] found community of
citizens so determined to build them
selves a spot worthy the name of
home, as those brave and honest
men that has made Sauk Centre
what it is today Those men OF which
Wash. McNeice is a fair type. The
grain harvester has been thinning
their ranks in those long forty odd
years, and to the youngafellows 1
would say: AS you meet those gray
veterans on the street takeaoff your
hats, for are they not, each one and
all hero? Some of them answered
their country's roll call when she
needed them. For this honor and
respect is due and will be given.
But greater still is the. measure of
praise due the soldiers in the great
battle of life that has been going on

MARKETING THE FRUIT.-The

Graft in Boer War.

The evidence before the British ar
nv stores commissioners. as to graft
during the Boer war, shows that there
was only one regiment the contract
ors were unable to cheat. That proud
distinction belongs to the Seventh
Hussars. They weighed everything
and checked the quality of everything
supplied them.
A Wearisome Sermon.
Bishop Strachan of Toronto, once
received two church wardens who
complained that their clergyman
wearied the congregation by repeating
a sermon. He had preached it twelve
times. The bishop asked for the
text Neither of the church wardens
could remember.
"Go back" said the bishop, sternly,
"and ask your clergyman to preach
the sermon once more, and then come
back and tell me the text"

Train telegraphy without wires is
the English way. The system was
conceived by Sir Oliver Lodge and
Or. Alexander Muirhead. Their big
sest problem has been with the aerial
wire. In order to make tests under
the most Instantaneous conditions
an old car was used as a receiving
station. The aerial wires were car.
ried on porcelain insulators, the
height OF the wires varying from nine
to fifteen inches above the curvature
Of the roof From the roof the wires
are carried in a small cable through
special insulated fitting to the interior
Of the van TO the receiving instru.
ment; here the message Is written by
Lodge-Muirhead siphon recorder.
The transmitting station is situated
In hut near Derby with an installa.
ton OF apparatus for sending the mes.
sage into the air Outside the cabin
is the aerial wire, which follows con
yontional lines. being supported upon
masts forty feet from the ground and
connected with spark gap and coil
for increasing the strength Of the cleo
irical impulse discharged from the
transmitting instruments at the sta
lion. The eNperimentcrs find the
greatest difficulty IL due to the large
smount Of electrical energy required
to obtain successful conversation on
sccount OF the short aerial wire used
at the receiving station.
