Since John
 Quit Drinking
By Johns Wife

I'm the happiest little woman. In all this little town; And my merry laugh and singing. Takes the place of sigh and fruwn. For JOHN HAS QUIT HIS DRINKING And is like himself once more. And the world is just paradise With such happiness fn storel One day I read some verses s.Marv,s Miracle" the name, And said, that's John exactly, And I'll send and get the same.l So sent for GOLDEN REMEDY. (As sly as sly could be) And put 1t in Johns supper And l put 1t in his tea And 1t didn't taste little bit; Had no odor, 80, you sec It was smoothest kind of sailing For little Doctor Me. And watched and prayed and waited, (And cried some, too guess), And didn't have the greatest faith, I'm ashamed now to confess.i And John never thought minute, He was being cured of drink, And soon he's as well as any one, It makes me cry to think! Just makes me cry for giadnese, I'm go proud to be his wife Since he Is cured of drinking,
 And leads nice, new life. "since John he quit s-drinktng'" can't say 1t times enonghl And hates and loathes liquor As he would poison stun. And when l say my prayers at nignt As thankful as can be- l pray for John the most of all- Then GOLDEN REMEDY.

DRAINAGE CONTRACT
+. SYSTEM IS
ABS0LEIE
New Wesley Teachers Re:
ceived With Enthusiasm
F Program

The system under which the drain.
age contracts in the state are let to
the lowest bidder 10 Obsolete ana.
marks the best work impossible with
out the closest attention Of the state
officials. That Minnesota under this
system has built up n Of the three
is the greatest possible evidence Of the
excellence Of the work of the state
engineer. George A. Ralph"
This wat The statement OF M. o.
Leighton of Washington, chief hydro
grapher Of the United States geologi-
cal survey. Mr.. Leighton has lately
returned. from a trip OF investigation
Of the bitches in the northern part Of
the state. He is the author of many
draulic engineering and allied sub.
jects. t..
Would Change State Law.
The state law should be changed so
that 1t would be possible for the en-
Eineer to estimate the cost Of the work
and to let the bid close to that figure.
he said. It is poor policy. he said. to
let a contract at a figure at which It
is impossible for the contractor to do
Either the estimate system should be
used Or the state should do its own
work.
The present system, whereby; the en-
gineer IL virtually in charge Of the
work was praised by Mr.. Leighton.
The one-man power has been
proved the most successful in. all
drainage projects and In all engineer:
ing work. Work on the Panama canal
was first in charge Of a commission,
but later one man was put at the head,
and there was at once q wonderful
change for the better. 1t has been the
same in all projects"
Committee Favored Commission.
The house committee Of the legisla-
ture. which. investigated the charges
against drainage work by Representa-
tive c. II. Warner OF Aitkin county.
in It's majority report, condemned the
present system Of one-nian control,
and suggested the appointment of'a
commission Of three engineers to have
charge Of the work. Another recon-
mendation made by the committee wa
that the contractors should be COM
PEELED to have their LEX done at the
time Stipulated in the contract.
OF this Mr.. Leighton said:
THE very. best system Of letting
drainage contracts 10 n where a GER
tain time is stipulated. which time
may be extended at the option Of the
engineer when severe conditions seem
to make such extension reasonable"
Praises State System.
The. state system Is far, ahead of
county drainage work. said Mr.. Leigh
ton. because, there is then uniformity
throughout the state and, the work in
one county, does. not overflow and In
jure another county. The only system
il one where the entire state Is treated
as 4 unit. Is.
The system of bitches ii. the only
system with which I nave come In
contact where drainage WORK has been
treated in a comprehensive manner.
None Of the bitches has" been dug
without .catefui. confederation. Of the
outlets. and the rivers have been en-:
larged and their channels straight.

It Might a Been.

It might have been! There's pathos In
the phrase!
And If some wizard drew from the
gone days
The pail Of death, and Fate, the de-
bonnair,
Frowned then. where once he smil-
ed. the millionaire
Might have been the bunk-house
where the pauper stays!
And in life's labyrinth and tangled
maze
Some path, luck-chosen. would have
swung the bays
To him another road forbids him

It might have been.
Life is n blindman's game. the start
