potatoes. but he has a great many
carloads of the same variety. Any
group of small farmers who will
get together and agree on some one,
or at most, two or three varieties of
potatoes to grow, and then leave it
to some one man to sell the whole
product so that carloads of one va
riety may be sold, can get as good
prices for their potatoes as does this
large farmer. If it costs 25c per
bushel to grow potatoes, and they
are selling at soc per bushel, there
is a net profit of SC per bushel. If
small lots of mixed potatoes are
selling at 30c, car lots of straight
and standard variety will easily
bring 35c. This will double the net
profit, and the second sc profit is
much more easily earned than the
first. There are large possibilities
for increased profit on our farms by
paying closer attention to the busi-
ness side.
Any business man can afford to
and will make a closer figure on a
large deal than a small one, whether
buying supplies or selling some pro-
duct. The man who comes to the
business man with large deal gets
a better price than he could afford
to make on a smaller amount. Farm
ers may get the benefit of doing
business on a large scale by clubbing
together in buying and selling. We
do not mean the organization of a
large farmers trust to arbitrarily
regulate prices. but simply the CO.
operation Of a few farmers in a
neighborhood so that products may
be sold and supplies purchased in
businesslike way.
The most excellent results obtained
with the cooperative creamery
should be duplicated in many other
branches Of the farming industry,
That means that several farmers
will get together and so operate
their farms and market their pro-
duets as to be able to offer for salea
large and constant supply Of uni
formly good product.

Remarkable Claim in Probate Court.

A bill was filed in probate court
recently which involves unusual
legal features and will undoubtedly
get into the higher courts before
any settlement can be secured. The
attorney for Rose Norton. the
housekeeper for w. D. Tibbetts at
the time of the Delhi tragedy, has
filed an itemized bill against the es-
tate for $5,588. the items being as
follows: For wages Of Mrs. Norton
and daughter up to the end of their
contract in 1910. $252, and for board
and lodging of the same persons,

Peabody Tiffany Wedding.

Miss Jennie June Tiffany and Mr.
Dougall Milne Tiffany were made
one last Wednesday morning at the
Peabody home en- the banks of the
Redwood. Misses Everett and Leub-
ner had converted the parlor Of the
house into a veritable bower, using
with splendid effect the evergreens
and bittersweet abounding on the
river banks near by. A striking and
novel effect was made with the we'd
ding bells of evergreen with red
bittersweet clappers, under which
the happy couple uttered their vows,
Rev. Chambers officiating. Mrs.
Cooper at the organ and Miss Vivian
Peabody, who sang "lf | Were a
Rose" left nothing lacking in the
musical part of the ceremony. The
bride was gowned in white silk null
and the ring service was used.
A wedding feast worthy of the
occasion followed, and in the even
ing an auto party from town helped
to contribute to the hilarity of the
function, both bride and groom be-
ing abundantIy endowed with love
of humor and fun, which insures
their future happiness.

in Prospect.

The November term of court is
due to convene this morning, imme-
diately after the arrival of the
morning train from Sleepy Eye. the
grand jury having been summoned
to appear in court at II o'clock.
The calendar leads off with a for
midable list of appeals in the cele-
brated ditch No. 7, known as the
Wanda ditch. The suits are brought
against the board of county commits
sioners, represented by the county
attorney, while Mathews & Lende

on the criminal calendar-one
against Fred. Tibbetts for indecent

watch from John McGovern in this
city last July. the charge against
Otis Walker of Sanborn for criminal
assault upon a minor, the assault
case of Roy Cox upon Julius AL
brecht at Morgan, and. 1.-THE assault
of Chas. Collins upon Policeman

if the grand jury was in for weeks
session, and that the civil and GRIM

busy up to the limit.

Trouble With New Bridge.

Cor. Gazette.
Seaforth, Mimi, Oct. 2Sth, 1909.
To the Honorable Board of Co.
Commissioners and Board of Super
visors of Town of Vail, Redwood
Co., Minn-Gentlemen: We, the
undersigned, hereby inform you
about the bridge that was put in
five or six weeks ago, over Clear
Creek, about three miles southwest
of Seaforth. There must be some
thing done with it Immediately, as
the old bridge is impossible, same
as the new one. AS you very we'll
know, the new bridge needs grad
ing. There are holes about six feet
deep at each end Of it, which must
be filled up. A very little expense
would make it alright.
1t took over six months to build
the new bridge. and will it take
another six months to make it pas
sable? We believe one man could
grade it in about two days, if your
'Honors" would only accept the
bridge. Of course you fellows don't
need the bridge, but we do, as we
use this road to go to Seaforth. 1t
seems as though the new bridge was
put in for an ornament and it seems
also that our county and town board
was put in for the same purpose. as
they neglect their duty in this in
stance. The way the bridge is is
dangerous. Some stranger may
come along at night, thinking the
bridge is alright. and drive over it
and get killed.
If you can't do any more with it.
come over and condemn the new
bridge as it is not safe. First thing
you know you will have lawsuit
on hand.
If you do not fix it within week
after this notice is given we will fill
in the holes with manure or straw
free of charge to make it passable.
Yours truly,

Feb. &c. 1848. In 1853 Mr.. Mckay
pre-empted tract of land at Hamp-
ton. Dakota county, and the family
entered upon the joys and hardships
of pioneer life. with the nearest
store and postofice (Hastings) elev-
en- miles distant, and with plenty of
deer and wild game in the woods
near by and Indians making occa-
sional calls on the few new settlers
thereabout. But this environment
was no great change after their five
years residence beginning in the
vicinity of Milwaukee, when that
place was little more than hamlet
surrounded by swamp. Life for
them was more primitive than for
the homebuildels of today, and Mrs.
Mckay was a type of the splendid
pioneer motherhood of that early
period. For thirty two years, or
until 1885, father and mother Nc
Kay worked land planned for their
home and for their children, ulti-
mately numbering two sons and
three daughters. The oldest son,
G. E. Mckay, with his partner, S. j.
Race, went into business at Redwood
Falls in 1878, and about the same
time j. P. Jones became resident
here, both ultimately bringing here
their wives, the two elder daugh-
ters of father andsmother Mckay.
Finding the work of managing their
farm too much for their strength
and wishing to be near their chill
dren, Mr.. and Mrs. Mckay sold the
home farm in 1885 and later built
the house now enlarged and occupied
by the w. H. Gold family, for their
home, their younger son and daugh-
ter, w. S. Mckay and Mrs. James
Aiken, having preceded them to this
city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckay celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary in
1898, and six years later. father Nc
Kay passed away. While the widow
accepted her aff1iction with patient
resignation, she never fully recov-
cred from its effects, and her life
since that event has been a time OF
waiting. Life had lost for her all

Maud Ella kempton and George W
Smith United Last Thursday.

Rev. C. S. Nook read the mar
riage service at a pleasant home
wedding at Morgan last Thursday,
which united for life Miss Maud
Kempton, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. H. Kempton, a graduate Of Red
wood Falls high school and we'll
known here, and George w. Smith,
son of Mrs. William Smith of this
city.
Relatives and a few invited friends
filled the rooms of the Kempton
home, and when Miss Sadie Schoff-
man at the piano played the prelude,
the bride and groom appeared, un-
attended, and at the appointed time
the brides father, R. H. Kempton,
gave the bride into the future
keeping of her husband, the cere-
mony being followed by the usual
congratulations, both smiling and
fearful. The bride was attired in a
travelling suit of a shade of green,
and after a luncheon and the survey
of numerous beautiful wedding
gifts, the newly welded took the
evening train for Boise City, Idaho,
where Mr.. Smith expects to find a
location to engage in the plumbing
business, with the best wishes of
many friends following them.

its charm, and she ceased her activ-
tiles and only left her home at inter-
walls to visit her children. Though
little given to conversation in later
years, she never gave way to COM
plainings, her only expressed regret
being that she was no longer good

knew meant that she could no long
er continue her ministrations to her
life partner nor to her children.
Life to h er meant service to others,
and all but ended when she was no
longer able to render such service.

Some Personal Opinions on Temperance
Topics.

The unconscious mental attitude
of children toward the drink habit,
when they live in a prohibition state
is hopeful sign for the future. A
noted citizen of Topeka, Kansas,
took his small boy, who up to that
time had not been outside of the
sunf1ower state, to an elegant hotel
in Washington, D. C. When they
came full upon the bar doing busi-
ness, the Kansas boy with eyes wide
with excitement and horror, pulled
his father into a corner and whis-
pered: We've caught them this
time, father, caught them selling it
right out in sight. I'll stay and
watch and you hurry out and bring
the officers" When the father ex-
planned that liquor selling was not
violation of the law at our nations
capital, the astonished child turned
sadly away from the beauties of
Washington and said, Lets go
home to Kansas"
Father Fugel Of Vienna, Missouri,
speaking recently at a w. C. I. u.
Institute said, 81 would enjoy drink
ing a glass of cool beer, but when |
see the awful hold this scourge and
monster evil has over the land, when
| see the terrible things it leads to,
when see that we will never put
intemperance down as long as drink
ing customs prevail, when | see our
personal responsibility to God for
our influence and example toward
our brother man, | am glad and
proud to surrender my individual
liberty for the good Of my fellow
man." He earnestly appealed to
the audience to stand shoulder to
shoulder in this great battle against
the saloon.
General Frederick D. Grant, who
led the great temperance parade in
Chicago, recently said: Drink is
the greatest curse, because practi-
cally all crime and disaster are the
result of it. If | could by offering
my body as a sacrifice, free this
country from the foul cancer. the
demon drink. I'd thank the Almighty
for the privilege Of doing it"
