News from Canada.

Marchwell, Sask., Canada, April 9th.
The weather has continued nice for
the last week and spring did at last
open up, but today the 9Th we got an
other heavy snow fall so it will set
spring work back for some time again.
Our friend Mr.. J. W. Backman has
now purchased well machine. AS
this country has been kind of dry for
while he has made up his mind he is
to show us how to get water, and we
trust he will have good luck in his
new business.
Bengston brothers were busy saw
ing wood last week for Cunningham's
and themselves with their traction
engine.
The councillor meeting of the four
surrounding townships was held in
Langenburg, last Saturday and quite
a dispute arose as one of the coun-
cillor's, also Sec. Treas. had been
illegally elected. The meeting lasted
from o'clock till z O'Clock but the
result is not known as yet.
Mrs. L. Fl. Brink has been on the
sick list the last week but at this writ
ing is feeling whole lot better.
Our friend Mr.. K. J. Lundgren has
the farming fever as bad as ever. He
says he is going to seed in 400 or 500
acres this spring, trusting this last
snow fall we had yesterday will not
discourage his big farming PROPOSE
ton, and sincerely hope that it will
be all number one hard by next fall.
Messrs Edwin and Adolph Bengtson
were pleasant callers at Mr.. L. I'll.
Brink's residence last Sunday even
ing.
The funeral of Mrs. K. ]. Brink was
largely attended, by surrounding
friends and neighbors. Mr.. J. E.
Erickson conducted the funeral SER

reversed its action and gave its con-
sent to the salary grab.

At the ceremonies incident to the
unveillng of the monument to Colonel
Colville of the first Minnesota reg
iment, which has been set up in the
capitol rotunda in a niche on the Sec
ond floor, Lieutenant Governor Eber-
hart coyly confessed that it was with
in the possibilities that he would be a
candidate for governor in 1910. His
boom is understood to have been Off
cialIy launched at a dinner given in
his honor at the Merchants hotel by
Mr.. Kibbe, the proprietor of the hos
telry, and that in connection the sug-
gestion was made that Mr.. Dazell,
the representative from Renville coun-
ty, be accorded the second place on
the ticket. Among the more promi-
nent guests present outside the legis-
lative contingent were Colonel Will
kinson of the Great Northern railway
and several well-known federal off,
cials. The speeches made were COM
plimentary in their character, but
there was a manifest reserve about
making any definite and conclusive
declaration, the leaders apparently
regarding the movement as tentative
and being unwilling to absolutely
commit themselves until it was seen
how the country would regard the
suggestion. The states which in re-
cent years have been arranged by the
st. Paul politicians have not been so
conspicuously successful as to war
rant the Republican party in again
assigning them the duty of preparing
the election program.

A bill of special Importance to the
dairy interests passed the house the
other day by a practically unanimous
vote. It is aimed at practice resort
ed to by centralizer creamery COM
panies of paying higher price for
milk at stations where independent
creameries are in operation than they
pay at stations where they have no
opposition. Such a practise is de-
clared by the bill to be unlawful dis
elimination and punishable as such
Hereafter, if the bill becomes a law
centralizers must pay the same price
for milk at all stations where they
operate, taking into consideration, OF
course, the cost of transportation.

wanted it bad. Failing to get it, it
lobbied against Cass Lake, and on the
day of the special order had big
delegation down to try to defeat it..
But it was no go. III some way men
who had expressed themselves against
Cass Lake were won over, and after
a beartbreaking finish it won out with
out single vote to spare. Mr.. Nc
Garry was congratulated on all hands,
and said that evening that he had
harder work keeping sober than he
had to carry the bill. A curious thing
about it is that while many are disap-
pointed at the passage of the bill
there is no one who has word to say
except of appreciation and respect
for its author. If all the world loves
a lover, a good square fighter at the
same time never fails to wins it's
admiration.

DOG A LIFE-SAVER.
Carries Rope to Drowning Boy In
Harlem River.

From the New York Herald
Just as soon os Freddie Pudmore gets
money enough he's going to buy Bitten.
Freddie, who is 16 years old, and lives at
sol East 18TH street.-the present tense is
due to Blitzen-was rowing down the
Harlem river late Sunday afternoon
when the swell from a railroad tug be-
gan to toss his frail craft until he was
afraid it would capsize at any moment.
With all the strength of his young arms
he pulled for a boathouse at Path street.
reached it safely, pulled his boat up on
the float and remarking in a self-con-
gratulatory tone to a man who was loiter-
ing near by Gee, that was a narrow
squeak" promptly missed his footing and
fell overheard.
There was a swift tide running and
Freddie was swept among the spiles of a
dock only a few yards away, but diff
place to reach. The man on the float
was ready-witted. He took in the situa-
whistled. In a moment a nondescript cur,
who never won a blue ribbon in his life,
ambled down from the boathouse. He
was none else than Bitten.
Here" said the man, who had obtain
ed rope in the meantime. He tossed one
end of it to Bitten, who caught it be-
tween his teeth. Then he whispered
something which only Bitten could I'M
derstand, and in a second the dog was
overheard. He made straight for Fred
die, who was just able to catch the rope.
The man at the other end pulled, and In
q few moments the lad was on the shore,
where few revolutions on barrel ef
fectually pumped him out.

The Precedent Breaker.

zine.
Leaders of men have ever been prece-
dent breakers. Timid people, no matter
how able, never make leaders. Fearless
ness and originality are characteristic Of
all men of progress. They have no rev.
erence for the old simply because 1t is
old; with them 1t is always a question of
pushing forward. of improving on the
past, instead of slavshly copying 1t.
What Charles w. Eliot has done for the
educational world the Marshall Fields,
the Wanamakers, the James J. Hills,
the Carnegies have done for the bust
ness world.
General Grant did what all the generals
who condemned him for not following
war presidents in text books on military
tactics could not do. He ended the war
Napoleon ignored all previous war meth
DDS, broke all war precedents in his con-
quering march through Europe. Men Of
force and initiative are always breaking
precedents Weak timid, forceless men
never break anything.
Roosevelt had little use for White
House precedents or political traditions.
missioner governor, vice-president or
president, he has always insisted on be-
ing himself-nobody else. No matter how
much he admires a man, he never imi-
tates him. A great deal of his remark

The Moon and the Potato Crop.

The moon has nothing to do with the
growth of potatoes, says writer in Sue
cess Magazine. This statement sounds
about as self-evdent as a commencement
grafton, yet according to recent investi-
cation by the Department of Agriculture,
20 per cent of our farmers have been
planting potatoes and other crops accord
ing to the almanac. 1t is a very general
belief that potatoes planted in the dark
of the moon produce the best crop, while
the full moon variety are liable to run
to tops"
It seems bit absurd to suppose that a
respectable old moon like ours could find
nothing better to do than to stop up
nights running the potato crop. So Uncle
Sam, who has an unquenchable curiosity
in such matters began poking into tho
moon myth and discovered that it de-
served respect only because Of its age.
His agricultural department workers
found that they could raise just as poor
potatoes IN the dark Of the moon as in
the light.

A Rushing Business.

From Judges Library.
A city-bred men, who had never been
to the seashore, decided one day to make
the trip.
Arrived there, he remembered an old
saying that sea water was good to battle
aching feet in, and straightway he took
a bucket and proceeded to the seashore.
He noticed a party Of men near the
water, he asked, what do you charge
for bucket of your water?"
Twenty-Five cents" answered one of
the party, who was out for joke.
The city man handed over a quarter and
filled his bucket.
After bathing his feet in the salt water
and finding same beneficial he decided
later In the day to go and buy another
bucket for another bath for his feet.
He accordingly took his bucket and pro-
ceeded again to the shore. The tide had
now gone down and the water was al
| low ebb.
Him. he unused; 'those fellows mus
have been doing rushing business since
left"

What Lehis Snang Says of
Lyle Robertson Scrap

Lewis strang, the Buick star winner
of three big road races last season,
speaking of the comment Herbert Lyle
has been quoted as having made on the
driving of George Robe rtson In the re-
cent Cobe Trophy race. said a few days
ago:
"A lot of the drivers do not under
stand Robertson and his way of giving
the road to another contestant George
is fair driver, and I have never
known him to be gully of foul driving,
but there is one thing he will not do,
and that is to give the entire road to
contestant. He will pull over and
give the other fellow half the road, but
he refuses to go over in the ditch and
give the whole road to anyone. His
idea is, that no road race should be
run over course VIII ere the road itself
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-07-04

is not wide enough for two cars to
pass, and IL a man over takes another
on the narrow stretches, it is up to
him to wait until the wide portion of
the course is reached.
I'm my opinion, Robertson is cor
rect in his stand, for it is manifestly
unrea sonable to ask a driver to run
his car over in a ditch and necessarily
slow down to give the other fellow
chance to go by him. Again, a man
often pulls out to let another driver
by and runs on one side of the road
for half a mile, and the en-, not seeing
in the rear a car coming by pulls back
into the road. Robertson and myself
have an agreement on the passing
proposition and I consider Lyle one
of the most courteous drivers in the
country; consequently the controversy
does not effect me- Lyle just does not
understand Robertson's system, that's
ALL"

How to Bone a woman's Collar

The collars on all the waists for wo-
men are higher than they have been
for years, but, strange to say, they are
not at all uncomfortable, for they are
cut in such a way that the head can
move easily. They are shaped to a
comfortable height under the chin and
gradually slope up until they almost
touch the ears, and from here they fol-
low the line of the hair. 1t Is tmpos-
sible TO keep these collars in place
without boning them well, and these
bones should be carefully sewed in or
else they will dig into the neck when
the head Is moved. Collar supporters
can be bought ready to be sewed into
the collar, and any height can be pro-
cured. To bone a collar properly one
should have five bones. one for the
back and two for each side. The one
for the middle, of the back should be
sewed on the right side of the back
and should be sewed straight up ana
down. The two highest bones should
be sewed on under each ear and should
be slightly slanted. The bones should
be slanted toward the back, so that
the head can move freely. The small
er bones should be sewed nearer 70
the front and should be slanted also,

How to Easily Curl and Keep Them
In Good Condition.
"How do 1 manage to keep my feath-
er boa in such good condition? l will
tell you the secret Of it," said dressy
little matron as she shook out the fas-
cinating ruff she had taken from her
neck. II never think Of putting 1t
away in the good sized box in which
/ keep it, where the dust and damp
ness cannot reach it, without first
shaking it out and seeing that it is per-
fectly dry. In winter 1 always hang 1t
near a register, so the warm air will
hasten the process little without do
ing any harm. Then if l find the tiny
plumes losing their curl 1 curl them a
bit myself.
There is a knack in doing that, and
l will give you the benefit of the lesson
that was taught me by professional.
l take good sized calling card and
cut a hole in it about an inch in diam
eter slip one end Of the boa through
this-oh, yes, it can be done--lnd then,
taking a fruit knife, with the back OF
it curl the parts of the boa that need
attention, judging between those done
and those not done. You will find it
does not take nearly so long as you
might think Then, too, if you are
called away from your task the card
will tell you just how far you have
gone with the work. Those that are
curled have been pulled through the
opening-all on the other side of the
hole are yet to be attended to. 1t may,
as / say, sound complicated and diff
cult but 1T is really very simple and,
as u can see for yourself, highly sat
