With the change in eui.is~ti"g
farm products. the Is one high
important consideration that has
largely been neglected in the
South. with few exceptions.
This is the use of improved ma
.rainery and implements to cult
waite and gather the crops. The
uureliabiiity and the recent eX
nGus of the negroes have short
encd needed labor in many Sec
tin1s. This can be ioqyiated by
the use of improved implements.
In the west the wheat, corn,
oats. hay and other crops are Gull
tiyated in this way. Larger
areas are planted, the crops gath
cred and harvested at less expense
aai with more clerity, and less
trouble than elsewhere through
the use Of improved machinery.
Wheat fields are reaped, threshed,
aud the product bagged on the
ground ready for the market.
The same plans are adopted IN
the cat and hay fields. Hence it
can readily be understood why
larger areas can be plowed, plan
tel and gathered than by the or
d'uary tedious methods. The use
of imrrovad indictments and ma
chimes liehtcns the labor. ia
ere ,ses facilities and rapidly gath
ers and places ON the markets the
products of the farm. Not only
this, hut it furnishes the re- qIlred
labor to raise those crops So need
full for the proper care and sus-
trnance of the farm animals and
to furnish feed for the domestic
fowls, and last and best of all to
furnish the homes with better and
more plentiful necessities. The
solution of the labor shortage is
the employment of machines and
implements for the cultivation of
the soil.

VIM parish Legislators are pro-
verbally liberal when it comes to
roads and bridges. But how about
some systematic methods to per.
manently improve the public
highways The loss occasioned
by bad roads is not always seen or

outruns all other public expenses.
And this loss is heavier and more
marked on the agriculturalists

st. Paul Papers Boom a Weak Team.

The Mankato base ball team this
season is made up very largely Of
St. Paul players and for this reason
probably has been extensively adj
vertised by St. Paul papers. AS a
matter Of fact the team is not very
strong, being inferior to Marshall,
Cottonwood, Rochester, Owatonna
and the Association team of Sleepy
Eye. It's policy has been to win all
it's Sunday games and if necessary
to resort to anything to win them,
rotten umpiring being its strong
suit. The St. Paul papers have
printed reports that were unfair to
visiting teams and when on the road
the team has had the benefit of
press reports that disregarded en-
tirely the reports of local papers
and which were always colored in
favor of Mankato.

Half a League Onward -"You
know 1.-The Charge of the Light
Brigade" Doesn't the hustle and
hurIy-burly and the strenuousness
of this voting contest bring back
that verse, Theirs not to reason
why-theirs not to make reply
theirs but to do or de-" etc. The
radical difference in this case is,
that contestants have great deal
to do with treason why" You
know why you are hustling, for
instance, its the hope of winning
that superb grand prize PIANO
worth $3.50, which The GAZETTE will
give away to the candidate who
shall have the most votes, on Oct.
9th. More than that you have to
concern yourself with other "rea-
sons why" for instance, you are
concerned with the reasons why the
subscriber ought to order THE
GAZETTE for year. We trust you
do not forget to rub those reasons
why" we'll in, when you are talking
to prospects. Don't forget them,
in the excitement of the Charge"
You can take more subscriptions, if
you make a point of telling your
prospect something about the paper
itself, as we'll as all about the con-
test and the prizes you are working
for. People love to do kindness for
others, when they can benefit them
selves by so doing. There's a tip
for you. Use it. Show prospective
subscribers that they really need
this newspaper; that they will
be doing themselves a good turn
by subscribing for it; that nc

with the people of the community
in which he liyes-if he doesn't

penings that affect their lives; and
these things only can be learned
through the local newspaper. And
the first ambition of every right
minded man, is to be as good a
citizen as he can. When you have
proved this contention to prospect
he will be more receptive of what
you have to tell him about
your reasons for wanting him to

the charred and mutilated form of
Miss Norton was soon discovered.
In the excitement of these grue-
some evidences of foul murder lib

as the fire was extinguished search
was made and his body found dang
ling at a halter straps end in the
same scuttle hole where he had
thrown down the hay to conceal his
crime.
The house is not badly damaged.
The parlor floor was nearly burned
through and the lower stairway
burned out. 500 will pay all dam
age.
Dorothy Tibbetts was a bright
little girl, popular about Delhi.
Miss Norton had only been in the
neighborhood few weeks but was
regarded as promising girl, eager
for an education. In fact it is said
that her mothers mission to Mime
apolis was to buy an outfit so her
daughter might attend school, either
at Minneapolis or Redwood Falls.
Will Tibbetts is quite we'll known
in the northern part of the county.
He has always been considered as
queer" but had accumulated a
large property and was a wealthy
man. He was kind to his children.
His wife died last winter and Mrs,
Norton has been keeping house for
him for a few weeks.
A pathetic incident struck the
writer. Within few feet of where
Miss Norton's body was found, lay
an open Sunday school song book
upon the organ rack, as though
to show that the last thing San
day night was a song service,
in marked contrast to the gruesome
surroundings.
Coroner Aldrich, assisted by Coun-
ty Attorney Owens, summoned a
jury and held an inquest oyer the
three victims of the tragedy on
Monday afternoon. d. McNaugh-
ton and his hired man, Henry Vog-
lund, Roy Leonard, Chas. Scott, DR..
Francis and Willis Holder, together
with the Tibbetts boy, Chauncey
were examined as witnesses and
their testimony was in a general
way in accordance with the story
given above. The jury rendered
their verdict that the two girls came
to their death from blows inflicted
by W. D. Tlbbetts and that the lat.
ter came to his death by strangling
at his own hands.
Monday afternoon Mrs. Norton
mother of the unfortunate Ceci

Her father brought more hay, piled
it over her and into the stairway
