Ok Team On Streets.

Some of the old timers rubbed their
eyes to be sure they were really awake
and not dreaming last Thursday,
when they saw G.. w. Lambert drive
down thru main street with a typical
pioneer team of oxen. It was the
first OK team seen on Lake Benton
streets in many years and the first of
its kind many of our people ever had
seen.
Twenty years ago it would not have
been noticed, but Thursday it at
tracted considerable attention and
was the means of starting several citi-
zens to talking of the old days when
oxen were in general use.
Mr.. Lambert's OK team is no joke to
its owner. He has trained two OK
teams which he intends to WORK on
his farm IN Verdi township.-Lake

Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost

looked for it. Found it, but some
bOdyelse had run-off with his bag.
A man who is going to paint dab
better lookout for his gallons. Devoe
is the least-gallOns paint.
It's gallons that cost; it isn't the
price of a gallon. With one paint.
10 gallons is plenty; another II or II

every gallon has to be paid for and
painted s. to $4 a day for painting
paint stuffed out with some sort of

bank messengers better look out

The body of ore is a large one although
the lessees are not taking out any
more than enough to cover the dimen-
sions of the winze which is about x A
feet in size. The ore is being screened
and only the richer part shipped, the
residue being placed on the dump for
future milling when more extensive
facilities are afforded for the handling
of low grade ores.

praying that the Secretary of the In
terror, James r. Garfield, send to the

Where are the Poorest Roads?

The agitation begun by the bicycle

ried forward by the motorists till near
ly every state in the Union is discuss
ing the good roads movement and rap
idly placing such laws upon their sta

is obvious to the automoblist, and he
is convincing the people of the land
that good highways over the country
are commercially and industrially ad-
vantageous.
Some say that the roads of Illinois
are the worst in the United States,
but aside from the mountainous sections
of the country, Ohio and Iowa lead the
state in bad and impossible highways.
Massachusetts has the best roads in

thusiasts, and of the Middle West
states. Indiana has thousands of miles

roads of Indiana have been the cause

COUNTRY LIFE BETTERMENT
Many Ways Suggested That
Would Make That Life
More Pleasant

In connection with the inquiries insti-
tuded by the President Of the United
States as TO the ways and means for
the betterment Of country life, we rise
to remark that there are many ways in
which lie in general might be made
better, regardless of whether that life
be spent in the country or thickly popu-
lated cites An excellent idea comes
from Cleveland, Ohio, where number
of progressive citizens who feel the
isolation of the neighborhoods and the
general lack of unity have proposed a
scheme for more frequent meetings of
young and old who are interested in the
general improvement of existing condi-
tions.
To effect their purpose in the work Of
knitting the population into collective
unit, the most thoughtful observers
have suggested that the public school
buildings in both rural districts and
cities should become neighborhood cen
tiers for social intercourse, friendly de-
bate, and general education. Speaking
ON this subject, Louis Post, editor of
the Public, at Chicago, says:
The segregation of school work
from common life is one of the serious
evils of the system or rather Of ITS
administration. Not much headgay Is
made, to be sure, by merely giving IN
ocuous lectures now and then IN school,
houses, but even this Is an advance.
When The schoolhouse shall come to le
the neighborhood center for neighbory
intercourse, for lectures on topics OF
general or neighborly interest, and Tor
the discussion of school district and
school board affairs, the public school
system will take a very different and q
much higher place in the life of the
people
This is practic ally an old idea, and
credit for it belongs TO the south. In
another sense this idea is much older in
the New England States, where the
the town meeting principle reached its
elimination two generations ago.
No community can make a mistake
by cultivating public discussions, but
there is a great deal Of evil to guard
against. No meeting place of this kind
should become the meeting place of
fanatics, politicians or agitators. If
such meetings were to be made purely
social and educational vast benefits
would result.
IF every school district or every
ward of each city were dedicated to
meetings that discussed the general
welfare, great good would result Ex.
