Crowds Into Third Place AT
State Fair And Wins

MUCH CREDIT DUEi c. c. EATON

Great Advance. Made In
Three Years

Redwood county's exhibit at the
state fair took third place.
This was due the excellent work
done by C. C. Eaton and his assist
ants.
Scoring Third Highest
The scoring was also third highest
among the 46 contesting counties
represented at the fair.
The exhibit also won third place in
competition with the 46 counties in
beauty and arrangement.
Italso won the third largest amount
of premium money offered by the
state fair
Close To The Best

p3ints under Houston, the two coun-
ties that beat her put.
In 1910 Redwood got 7th place
Last year she took 4th place. This
year Redwood climbed up nearly zoe
points and displaced Renyille county

THE PEOPLE WON

After all the bosses didn't have
whole lot to do with yesterdays
election. The people voted about
as they pleased, and quite gener-
ally picked the best men without
regard to their politics.
The influence of the news +,
papers was more fancied than
real. Hearst'S blowhard policy
prompts him to claim a victory,
but bis victories were won only
where he happened to pick on the
man the people happened to
want. Where he guessed wrong
the people won out just the same.
This is just as true of the other
papers. While they like to make
themselves and the public believe
it is their support that elects can
didates, the plain truth is that in
most cases they win only by
guessing right as to what the peo-
pie want.
Politicians follow their leaders,
or bosses. But the great honest
rank and file vote about as they
please; and that is why even the
smartest politicians often get
fooled as to the results.
Take the character of the pres
ent council, not considering pol
itics at all, and by comparison
Chicago has better body of men
than any other big city in the
country.
The great majority of alder
men owe their election to the.peo-
pie and not TO the bosses and

Hours afterward they had come up

the full value Of the radium contents
Is thus saved. Surrounded by any
thing else the rays are thrown in such
minute particles that they have no
difficulty in finding their way through
the container in a continuous, invisi-

Radium is beneficial and perilous to
mankind. 1t Is safe and dangerous
II a scientist explained 1t, It would be
perfectly clear to him, almost clear to
some other scientists, but STEPPED in

heat in radium is probably created by
the disintegration of the salts Of which
,, 1t is composed, just as the mantle Of a
gas lamp burns away, or the filament
OF an electric light constantly throws
off minute particles, until 1t snaps at
one point, and Is rendered useless. At
one time pretty nearly everything in
the world was moving-so one school
OF scientists assert. One substance
went to pieces and combined with An
other, to make new things for man to
toy with. Just as a plant that reaches
its maturity Immediately commences
to decay and die, so with the substance

Strict School RuIes.-John Wesle

Strict School RuIes.-John Wesley
held that school children should do
without holidays altogether. When he
opened Kingswood school in 174S he
announced that "the children of ten
der parents, so called, have no busi-
ness here, for the rules will not be bro
ken in favor of any person whatso-
ever. Nor is any child received unless
his parents agree that he shall observe
all the rules of the house; and that
they will not take him from school, no.
not for a day, till they take him for
good and ALL"
Further, no play days were permit
ted. and no time was ever allowed for
play, on the ground that he who plays
when he is a child will play when he
becomes a man. Every Friday the
children had to work till three I'm the
afternoon without breaking their fast.

THE DAYS OF ELECTRICITY.
Comforts and convenienees Have Been
Wonderfully Increased.

Comforts and conveniences Have Been
Wonderfully Increased.
Few. indeed, are left to recall those
distant days preceding the anpiication
of steam engines to .railfeaa and
steamboat work. But there are plenty
who we'll remember when setect rtcity
was considered but a natural phenom-
ena and a plaything of nature during
terrestrial storms.
fe<ft seems almost incredible. yet It is
true, that but thirty years ago elec-
tricity was unheard Of outside of
scientific laboratories.
We had no telephones.
No electric railways.
No electric fans.
No electric elevators.
No vacuum cleaners.
No electric lights
No trolley cars.
No electric ranges.
Few electric motors
We had to walk the city streets or
ride a horse car The suburban resi-
dent sections of to-day were un-
dreamed of and everyone tried to live
as close to the business section as pos
sible. Hacks did a thriving business.
We could not call up anyone on
the telephone. The mails and mes
senger boys did the work. The tele-
graph was in use but the lines were
few.
All housework was done by hand,
without the handy electric stoves,
the motor driven appliances now In
use.
In hot days we sweltered for the
electric fan was undreamed Of.
We read by Pickering candles or
oil lamps and there were no arc
lamps to illuminate the streets after
dark.
There were no motor cars because
the gas engine would be impossible
without electricity for ignition pur-
poses.
There were no electric door bells,
no buzzer communication from Of
flee to office. no electric fiatirons,
no electric chatting dishes, toasters.
grills, etc.
Factories ran by steam or water
power. Cities were covered with a
pail Of black smoke. Railroads could
not run through tunnels without
the gravest dangers. Electric venti-
lating systems for large buildings
were unheard Of. Electric signal
systems for railroads were not used
and the trains ran a good deal on
luck.
Such were the good old days we
hear so much about. The folk who
lived and worked then did not miss
these things inasmuch as they had
never enjoyed them. but one of the
greatest hardships which might be
inflicted upon us today would be to
deprive us Of the electricity. Without
it we would be put to the greatest in
convenience.
