upon them in the salvation of souls
Mr.. Lilley is very forceful speaker
and the closest attention was given
throughout the discourse. Among
the many things he said we're, Not
only has Jesus set us an example as
a man of prayer. but also as a soul
winner. He had passion for souls.
What made Jesus a soul wilmer?
What made Him sacrifice so much
and labor so hard-His friends said
of Him, He is beside Himself. He
knew the value of soul He discov-
cred it was lost, considered of but
little value"
1t was said a harlot's soul was not
worth saving. The scribes doubted
whether child had soul or not.
Life was cheap
Jesus lifted the soul out of its in
significance. This was the power that
moved Him. The souls value This
made Him lose sight of Himself. This
was why they said, He is beside him
self" Would we be soul-winlers,
then let us see the souls value
We think more of household cares,
ease, pleasure, money making, than
of souls.
Am an extremist? Judge ye.
"Out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh." BY their fruits
We shall know them, How many Of us
can point to soul We have brought
to Christ this year?

Light and Power Com
pany

Have your nickel ready, please"
This will be the cry of the canduc-
tors on Keokuk street cars, and signs
and notices to the effect that the
keokuk Electric Railway and Power
Company has introduced an innova-
ton, which is true metropolitan one.
will be conveyed to the many pas
sengers riding on street cars ia the
future.
The fact is that twenty-five Rookie
Automatic Registers have been re-
ceived at the local Office and will be
used in the future by conductors on
street cars The register-many Keo-
kuk people have probably seen them
in larger cities-is a small one that
can be carried In the hand The pas
senger has his nickel ready, or can
obtain the full change from the CON
ductor, and places the nickel In the
register and the fare is recorded
automatically. The nickel passes
through the register but does not
reach the conductors hand until after
1t has been recorded. No person is
allowed to permit the conductor TO
register the money but must himself
place the nickel In the small slot
when it comes his turn to donate.

TO BOND THE COUNTY

The county commissioners are contemplating the
s,pposition of bonding Ward county tcr 100000 to
sass up the outstanding warrants, which amount to
,>haut that figure The county is paying seven per
rant on the outstanding warrants and by bonding,
eMe interest would be reduced to four per cent,
gsafch would make saving to the county or $6ooo
asr annum. The commissioners will probably con-
,ssdsr this question at their next meeting. Ward
s,,nrtv is a. big proposition and the commissioners
'oo,o - nut, in on a cash basis as possible.
In r. :Yr r! u ill be necessary to curtail ex-
per>e, ;>oro "a! ere, to build only those bridges
xulch are the most necessary, to grade only the
min roads for time, and then take up the other
improvements gradually, they see that the fnan-
csss will permit.

ONE WAY TO START A BOOM

,sonposing all the Minot folks good
And really lived the lives think they could;
Surprising none made uent,
Or if he made it, didn't forget;
Supposing everybody went to work,
And none lay around or tried to sh1rk;
Surprising all the tongues were KIND ana qulet'
And never led the neighbors in a riot;
1t seems to me,
-rbat Minot would be what it ought to be.
supposing every husband loved his wife,
And both of them were true to married life,
SUPPOSE the children all did we'll in school,
And teachers taught and kept the Golden hule;
supposing everybody really was,
lust what they pass for in their Sunday clothes;
And when the bells rang stayed away,
And all the preachers got increase of pay;
4 seems to me-
a-hat Minot's where I'd always like to be.
Supposing everybody spoke the TRUTH
And none drank too much or swore an oath;
Suppose that each would help the rest to live,
Forget their faults and when they sinned forgive;
ssupnosing all would seek to do their part,
20 Mt the load of life from sad heart;
Till none would wait and weep beside the dead,
And wish to call back what they'd done or said;
It seems to me,
THAT Minot would be what God wants to see.
Gsuppose that all whose deeds their lives pesmlrcn
Gx change of heart and quit, and joined the church,
While those whose names have Yong adorned the
book, '"-- '-~4"
Would walk way too straight to own crook;
ssappose our town improved and grew, and grew,
,su not faint was its revenue;
And passers thru would say, it seemed to them
They'd surely struck the New Jerusalem;
d seems to me,
We'd Just about be what we've prayed to be,
Suppose we quit supposing, you and me,
md instead, be just what we ought to be;
"Ts but the practice that might well be glven
TO all whose plans comprise hor, OF heaven;
And if you don't believe in such place,
no life beyond, or covenant Of grace;
Then, still it seems the wisest thing to do,
For that would start little heaven below;
IT seems to me,
That that's about what Minot ought to be.

SHALL WE BUILD A POOR HOUSES

The question uppermost in the minds of the coun-
ty commissioners now, Is whether or not snouio
they order poor house erected on the county
farm three miles south of Minot We have a poor
farm consisting of 800 acres, from which the coun-
ty is receiving little Last year, the
county's share from the crop amounted to 400
bushels of wheat of which 200 bushels were retain
ed for seed This is not nearly paying the interest
on the investment. On the other hand, Ward coun-
tvs paupers costing us about sou per month.
1t is hard get at the exact figures, but the COM
missioners are now engaged in compiling figures to
show the cost Of keeping the countys poor during
the past year. One Of the commissioners informs
us that the figures will be astounding. Considering
these facts would it not be better to build fairly
good sized poor house. a barn and other outbulld-
ngs and house the poor of the county at the farm?
Suitable buildings be constructed or SIX thous-
and dollars Many of the countys poor could heip
with some of the lighter kind OF work about tne
farm We could hire superintendentnot one VINO
would strut around in "biled" shirt but one
who would don his farm clothes and go ahead Win
the farm work. and we believe that we could put
that farm on paying basis, or nearly so. we
could keep a few good mich cows and right mere
let us say that the milk proposition is getting to be
quite an item for the county pays hundred DOL
lars a month for the milk which Is used at the
Northwestern hospital. All of this milk could be
furnished by the at the poor farm Inc poor
could be taken good Of as they should FOR we
should take the best of care of the unfortunates'
But it is a fact nevertheless that Ward cunty has
been imposed upon from time to tme in shame
less way Aims have been asked by people whose
relatives were amply able to for the ones VINO
asked them Buildings at the poor farm would
solve the probem of sitting the sh1ftless from the
needy. True, the proposition of erecting buildings
at the farm lost by small majority at the last
election, but the states attorney has given MS
opinion to the effect that the buildings can Dc
constructed without vote inasmuch as the farm
was purchased with the intentions OF erecting
buildings upon it.

Fifteen years ago deserted his wife and
Door little children and disappeared. The poor
woman shaved at the wash tub and fed the hungry
little mouths of her children and finally died IN
poverty The father after spending years of his
worthless life in dissipation arrived in Minot the
other day, sick unto DEATH His daughter has taken
him under her own roof, to save him from dying a
pauper If that father has spark of manhood left,
how his conscience must smite him as he recalls the
many worthless years of his existence and contem-
plates the untold suffering he has caused his poor
wife and children Retribution is sometimes long
nostnoned. but it always comes sooner or later,
when we deserve it. =

James j. Hill, the great railroad magnate whose
logic has ever been sound, said to the crowd that

the land Minot would fade out of existence MI
Hill is right We have ever contended that Mlnot

cultural interests of the Northwest. But someone

thousand dollars month in Minot? But without
the farming interests how much do you suppose
the Great Northern would be able to pay us enl-

elm Patten did not raise the price of wheat. II
anvthing his cornerng the market, by buying
those ten million bushels of wheat had the enect
of reducing the price,, rather than raising it, SAID
James ]. Hill in Minot last Saturday. Il read TO-
dey that they were bringing the wneat back from
New York wheat that had been shipped east on us
way to Europe, paying the freight both ways tnat
our people might be able to eat bread IN the sta'e
of Ohio they have had to shut down mills oecause
a. e. 5o bushel. they have been unable to buy
wheat tn grind" continued Mr.. Hill. This state
ment is important 1t is possible that at last the
farmers are going to get paid for their grain what
it is WORTH The 1upply and demand will probably
solve the prices of grain. The farmer seems TO De
in the saddle and let us hope that the prices are
going to continue high, even in the face OF bump
crop.
