Recount Completed.

A recount of the ballots cast at the
November election in St. Louis has
been completed, showing greater
majority for Prof. Evans than he was
accorded by the official count just af-

vote for Kennish and Brown, In the
recount, under order of supreme Court
every doubtful or apparently illegal
ballot was subjected to critical examin-

ANotable Birthday That Went Unnoticed.

Unheralded by celebrations and
gliding by without noise or ceremony,
the anniversary of the birth of the tele-
phone has just passed into history.
For it was just IS years ago this spring
that Alexander Graham Bell received
from the United States Government
the patent that was destined to give a
tremendous boost to civilization.
With this official action the unknown
professor Of elocuotion and student of
acoustics joined the ranks of. the world S
greatest inventors. His path was far
nom smooth one, back in 1876 when
some folks dobted, others scoffed at
and most people ignored the product
OF MS genius. They called it a scien-
tlhc toy, and as such it seemed for a.
while doomed to remain in obscurity.
Financial men laughed outright at
Dr. Bells scheme to sell his patent for
100000. 1t was scofing of the same
sort that Morse had received, 40 years
before, when he tried to induce the
government to pay him 100000 for
MS pet, the telegraph.
Today the telephone system that

mas more than twelve million
miles of wire in operation enough to
glfole the earth many hundreds OF

Money From Hogs On Forage.

The Missouri Experiment Station has
just given out the results of an experi,
ment lasting three years which show
large profits from feeding hogs on for
age crops.
The average income per acre from
clover forage was .$34.11 from rape
and oats $23.63, from corn aud COW
peas $29.08. and from blue-grs
$17.71.
The estimates are all made on the
basis of 90 cents bushel for the corn
fed and 6 cents a pound for the pork
produced. The results are important
as indicating what may be accomplish
ed when the hogs themselves do al
the harvesting.
This bulletin, which is numbered 95
was written by Dean F. B. Mumford
and c. A. Wilson and can be had on
request by writing to the Director CT the

is sufficient warrant for using 1t, as
they will thus be in better shape.
The experiment emphasizes the need
for a supplemented ration during the
latter stages Of the feeding period,
while it proves that such ration is of
doubtful economic value during the
early stages.
It was found that a ration made OF
only one part Of the linseed or cot
tonseed meal to six or seven parts OF
corn, was more efficient than that
made with more Of the oil meal.
These results are Of great value to
the cattle feeder as well as to the
world of science. With small changes
in feeding systems, considerable diff
ference in results may be accom-
pIished. -

Where Is He Risen?

Where Is He Risen?
"And go quickly and tell His disciples that He
is risen from the Mathew xviii, 7.
I like to think that bud and bloom
And grass and leaf
Are symbols of the empty tomb,
Of ended grief.
I like 10 think of Him that He
Is risen here,
And that His presence we may see
Each waking year.
For Heaven is so very far,
We cannot reach
The nearest little guarding star
By sight or speech
But when the day is gladdened by -
This clearer blue, :
Then Heaven is not far and high
From me and you.
fain would think He breathes above
The grass and trees;
His heart that throbs with human love
Awakens these;
And lilies pure as acolytes
Their censers swing,
While all the meadowlands and heights
Are worshipping.
So in this thought of mine I find
In stone and clod
And hedge and lattice blossom-twined
The breath of God.
And yonder in the growing wheat
And fallow lands
] see the path that knew His feet
Work of His hands.
And so from every bird that sings
I hear the voice
That one supernal message brings:
Arise! Rejoice!''
like to think of Him that He
Is risen here,
And that His presence we may see
Each waking year.

Mackey Still in Office

A couple Of months ago Alex
auder Miller started suit against
F. L. Mackey and Commissioners
Wright and Bergquist. The diff
ficulty arose because Miller failed
to attend the commissioners meet
ings for over sixty days. He had
been elected to the Office of Com
missioner at the last general ell
ection but after the alleged Steven
son county was organized he was
appointed commissioner in that
county and was told by his at
torney, Il. F. O'Hare, not to at
tend meetings here as it would
show that they did not believe
their new county was organized.
Commissioners Wright and
Bergquist and the other members
Of the appointment board named
F. L. Mackey as commissioner to
fill the vacancy.
When Judge Winchester was
holding court here. Miller's
attorney brought the case before
the court. The Judge told the at
torney he did not have g case.
Judge Crawford's attention was
then called to the matter and he
made the same decision. Mackey
is now attending the commissi-
oners' meetings this week with
the other commissioners who have
been busy with county work for
two weeks.

Trouble Again

The beaver dam at Painted
Woods lake has caused an un-
friendly feeling among the farm
ers in that vicinity for the last
three years. Wednesday, Deputy
Game Warden Kramer of Velva
procured authority from some one
to again open the dam and lower
the water in the lake. It had been
dynamited twice this year by farm
ers north of the lake who claim
the high water has destroyed some
Of their hay land. Both times the
dam was blown out it was rebuilt
by the farmers south Of the lake,
who could irrigate their land by
water from the lake. This beaver
dam was built by the beaver twenty
years ago and the state owns the
lake formed since the dam was
built. Three years ago this nat
ural bridge was blown open for

Blessing in Disguise

Last year because of the poor
crops many farmers paid more at
tention to stock raising and
learned the lesson the S)uth Da-
kota farmers are getting this year
which is as follows:
A farmer who has 1000 acres
under cultivation in South Da-
kota and says about 500 acres of
it is in bad shape as a result of the
dry weather, believes that short
crop will be a blessing in disguise
to the agriculturists of this state.
They are paying too much at
tention to wheat, he says, and
there may be force in this con-
tention. South Dakota is one of
the most prosperous states in the
Union. 1t produces enormous
per capita whealth, but, judged
from experience in other states, is
not getting all that it is entitled
to. so long as it sticks to small
grain raising.
The South Dakotan's criticism
of his state does not apply to all
parts of the commonwealth. There
are counties in South Dakota
that are given over very largely to
dairying, live stock and the other
activities that have been found to
be more profitable than wheat
raising. 1t is only question of a
little time until all in the state
will be reaping the benefits of in-
tensi6ed and diversified farming.
If the shortage of the grain crop
this season will hasten that time,
it is, as its critic claims, a blessing
in disguise.

All Eyes Are Now
On North Dakota
The Political Question viii Now Be
Watched With Interest All
Over The Country

Minneapolis journal: North
Dakota will be a battle ground at
tracing the attention of the entire
country next March, when that
state will vote in a popular pri-
mary on its choice for presidential
nominations of various political
parties. The primary will be held
March 18, and the delegates elect
ed to the national convention will
be instructed to vote for the can
didate of each party receiving the
highest vote in the state.
A statement issued from Wash
ington by Senator jonathan n
Bourne, jr, president of the Ma
tional Republican Progressive
league, calls attention to the fact
that though Oregon was the first
state to adopt the plan of presi-
dental primary election, three
other states will hold their pri-
maries in 1912 before Oregon.
The first primary of the kind will
be in North Dakota, while Wis
consin will vote on presidential
candidates April 2, and Nebraska
April II. The Oregon primary
will be held April 19, and New
Jersey, the eastern state that has
adopted the plan, will vote on
May %.
The Bourne statement, which
was received today by W. I. No.
Ian in charge of Minnesota pro.
gressive republican headquarters,
says that North Dakota, by reason
of the prestige that will come from
the first popular victory, undoubt.
edly will see a hotIy contested
fight for popular Endorsement in
both political parties. Repub-
licans probably will choose be-
tween Taft and La Toilette, with
democrats voting on Harmon, Will
son, Clark, and perhaps North Da-
kota's governor, John Burke. The
primary will also provide for a
popular vote ON vice president and
and national convention delegates
will be elected at the primary.

with a crew are now at work on
the north branch, making estimates
of the cost of completing the road
through Oliver county. This work
will no doubt be done in time to
take care of the grain this fall

most enjoyable run, and any city
that has lands like Washburn has
around it, cultivated, we'll kept,
we'll farmed, and with such pro-
spects ought to be busy tand
proud to take visitors on q trip
like that. It was an eye-opener
for several Of us. It is good rich
land, settled quite thickly, with
plenty Of good farm homes, groves
starting and evidences Of pros
perity. There are yet to be seen
log cabins and sod shanties. But
