The Willmar Street Fair opens to-
day. All exhibits will be in place by
this evening, and the result, we are
confident, will be one Of the finest ex-
positions of products Of Kandiyohi
county ever held. The prospects are
good for large attendance, and we
believe that no one will have reason
to regret their visit to Willmar. The
members Of the committee have
worked hard to make the show such
as it is. Every member of the Street
Fair committee is contributing his
time and efforts without any remun-
Grafton whatever except the feeling
of satisfaction Of accomplishing
something for their home city and
county. This feeling is begrudged
them at times, it seems, by parties
who never have any time to do any
thing themselves to boost the com
munity, but feel especially called to
find fault with whatever another
tries to do. Remember this when
you are tempted to shy brick at
the committee man in charge of
some particular line. You may be
robbing him of the only pay he ex-
poets to satisfaction Of having
done something Of a public benefit
But enough Of this. The loyal ant
boosting citizens are in the grea
majority, and with their continued
aid, the Eleventh Annual Free Stree
Fair of Willmar will be pulled off a:
per schedule, a credit to the com
munity and to the enjoyment Of tn
visitors.

lternoon enjoyed sight of the most
modern manner of doing some of the
hardest work on the farm, and es-
pecially hard for the farmers hor-
SEES. It was an exhibition of the
working Of the latest Rumley blowing
outfit. It consists Of a 30 horse
power gasoline traction engine to
which is attached six fourteenth inch
lplows. The engine is very economi-
cal in the matter of fuel and in the
test was burning kerosene, which is
still cheaper than gasoline. The en-
CINE has an appliance whereby kero-
sene may be used after the machin-
cry has been started by the use Of a
little gasoline.
The blowing was done on the field
west Of the fair grounds. It is
claimed that Is to 20 acres may east
" be plowed in a day Of ten hours in
a field Of the ordinary size. This
outfit was the smallest size made and
designed for the use OF the man with
| the ordinary farm. The traction en-
CINE may be used for threshing pur-
poses or for any other use about the
farm when not hauling plows in the
| field. I'D
The cost Of the outfit such as was
exhibited here, is from 81, 800 to
$4,000, depending on the kind Of
lplows and other equipment secured
in the purchase. The blowing was
done from 4 to s inches deep and
the engine travelled at about the
speed Of a team doing similar work
It requires two men to handle the
outfit. Fairmount Sentinel.

A parents life is one long RESPONSE

merely calls attention to one which
many fathers have discovered for
themselves.

Railway Journeys of Long Ago.

1t was only the adventurous who
dared to face railway journey in
1923. A writer in the Quarterly Re-
view commenting on the proposed line

soon expect the people Of Woolwich to
suffer themselves to be fired off upon
one Of Congreve's rockets as trust
themselves to the mercy of such a
machine going at such a rate" The
third class carriage of those days was
a thing of horror. lit had no roof
and no seats," writes j. G. Wright
"Into this the passengers were packed
and had to stand during the whole
journey or, if there was room, to squat
on the floor, exposed to the rain or
sun and bombarded by sparks emitted
from the engine. Second class .passen-
gers were kindly advised to provide
themselves with gauze spectacles and
to sit as far from the engine as possi.

THE GENTLEMAN.
Robert e. Lees Definition of the Quail.
ties That Make Him.


Lee hated parade. display and cere.
mony, hated above all things being
made an object Of public gaze and
adulation. His idea Of high position
was high responsibility superior was
simply one who had larger duties, and
the mark of a gentleman was keen
sense of the feelings and susceptible.
ties of others. No one has ever ex.
pressed this attitude more delicately
than he himself in this memorandum
found among his papers after his
death:
"The forbearing use of power does
not only form touchstone, but the
manner in which an individual enjoys
certain advantages over others is
test of true gentleman. The power
which the strong have over the weak.
the magistrate over the citizen, the
employer over the employed, the edu-
Gated over the unlettered, the expert
enced over the coniding, even the
clever over the silly-the forbearing or
inoffensive use Of all this power or au-
thority or total abstinence from it
when the case admits it, will show the
gentleman in plain light. The gen.
tleman does not needlessly and unnec-
essarily remind an offender Of wrong
he may have committed against him.
He cannot only forgive; he can forget,
and he strives for that nobleness of
self and mildness of character which
impart sufficient strength to let the
past be but the past. A true man Of
honor feels humbled himself when he
cannot help humbling others. s."-Gama-
