Judge S. A. Flaherty, Candidate
for Reelection.

l hereby announce my candidacy
for nomination and reelection as Judge
of the Sixteenth Judicial District. In
seeking this honor I realize that it is
not only the right, but the duty, of
the voters to learn all that can be
known about the qualifications of every
man who becomes candidate for this
important public office.
Having practiced law in this district
for more than eighteen years before
my election to the bench, and having
been judge now for nearly twelve
years, the people during this long
period of time have had every chance
and opportunity of knowing me we'll,
and of forming correct opinion of my
qualifications to serve them in the
position I now occupy.
Relying upon that opinion, which
I trust is favorable, my candidacy is
hereby respectfully submitted to the
consideration of the fair, minded, in
telligent voters of the district.
S. A. Flaherty.
Morris, Minnesota.

WHAT A WOMAN DID.

ga pound Of pluck is worth ton Of
luck" runs the adage.
have just read the story Of plucky
woman, widow, the mother of four
boys, the eldest Of whom is but four
teen years Of age.
BY saving her meager wages earned
in cotton mill, supplemented by the
wages of the two eldest boys, she was
able to buy eighty acres Of good farm
ing land in Cumberland county. N. G.
She could do better, she believed, by
taking her brood Of boys to the coun-
try.
The sequel?
She has undergone hardship and has
worked cruelty hard, but she and the
boys have had excellent health, plenty
to eat and the promise Of success.
Last fail, with no other help than the
| boys and an old mule, she picked TWEEN
ty-twO bales of cotton, each weighing
500 pounds.
Perhaps you do not realize how much
hard, back breaking labor is required
to plant, cultivate and harvest twenty
seven acres of cotton
You do know, perhaps, that twenty
two bales of cotton are worth in the
neighborhood of $1,000. II
Besides the cas- b, realized from the
cotton, which money will buy many
comforts, she raised 500 bushels of
corn, vegetables for winter'use and :Suf
fcient forage for two mules and two
| cows for one year. ''::':.' -:
This besides an excellent garden.
Not much, you say, should you hap
! pen to own a big western farm where
you count your corn by the number Of
thousands of bushels; but to this fam
lily the. success Of their first year rep
resents much.
1t represents the difference between
a hand to mouth existence in factory
| town and the yftiating influences that
often go with It on the one hand and
the sweet country air, wholesome sur
roundings and prosperity On the other.
Under the tuteIage Of this wise moth
! er her boys are likely to grow into
sturdy men and good citizens, and if
they are the right sort they will always
hold their brave mother in the highest
| honor. 1.''} )! -
"Back to the land" +,
There is no more heartening cry. ~
Thousands of boys growing up in
half idleness BECAUSE Of the lack of OPP
pOrtunity in the towns and whose
characters deteriorate because Of this
lack need to go, to the farm.
There are room and health for the
boys and hope for the nation: in the
wide spaces Of the fields.

That there exists tribe of blonde
Eskimos, presumably of Scandinavian
origin, is the statement of Vilhjalmar
Steffansson, who returned to Seattle,
Wash, Sept 10, after spending more
than four years I'm the Arctic region
He told Newspaper Representatives of
kis probable discovery Of the descend
ants of the Scandinavian eolonists of
Greenland, who were last heard Of in
1412. and who when trade with Green
land was resumed, in the Seventeenth
century, had disappeared. SteffanssOn,
who was accompanied by DR.. R. M.
Anderson of Forest City, Ia. secured
q valuable chronological collection,
which will spread much light on the
little known career of the Eskimo
race. They left for the Arctic In 1908

winter at the mouth of Colville river,
the second at Cape Parry apd the
third on Coronation gulf and the last
at Parry bay again. On leaving the
Arctic .Steffansson made a leisurely
journey alone with a Sog team from
Cape Parry to Point. Barrow, 1000
miles, visiting all the Eskimo settle
ments along the. coast. Of the so
called Eskimos of Coronation gulf

Some such feeling must have pos

"My cell is all right; I'll stay there
he replied.
EdmondsOn explained that the prison
life had given him a new point OF
view of many matters and he would
stay in his cell until he had chance
to think things out.

It would seem so. And yet one car

Joel wore his overalls and his wife

an old one, and the seat was stuffed
with straw. The horse was plOW an

GET UP!
BY EDWIN A. NYB.

GET UP!
You are mauled to the earth? Come up
with smiling face.
Ats nothing against you to fall down fat
but to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown the higher you'll
bounce. Be proud of your blackened
eye
1t isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts, but how did you fight and
why,
Man born of woman was built to
walk upright. At the same time it
was understood he might sometimes
fall or get knocked down. His skele-
ton was carefully covered for the jolt
Therefore the cushion.
1t is no disgrace to fall down on
your cushion nor even to get knocked
down by some othere man or adverse
fate. The disgrace consists in staying
down and taking the count
Get up!
Get up with smiling face and go at
1t again. 1t is the fellow who comes
up smiling and goes down smiling who
finally finds himself and delivers his
Knockout blow
Courage born of adversely counts.
Many a man has been licked who
would not stay licked. If you do not
know when you are whipped no one
else will ever find it out.
If adversely will not make man
of you nothing else will.
Some of the best things written by
brave Robert Louis Stevenson were
painfully penned while he lay on his
back, weak from excessive hemOr-
rhage. It may be said Of all his work
that. it was done by man who all his
life was more or less an invalid.
He would not stay whipped.
The intrepid Henley, who wrote the
bracing Captain Of My Soul" and
other tonic verse, composed and wrote
that poem while lying on hospital
cot. All his life Henley was handi-
capped by illness and poverty.
Fate could not keep him down.
Get up! Don't be ashamed of your
black eye Get up smiling and go at
1t again. Fight and never say die.
Do not stop to brush the dirt off
your clothes. Wade in. Know the
Joy of battling; feel the consciousness
OF mastership. There's spark of the
dIvine:in you that will help you in the
fight!
He who fights and runs away may
i've to fight another day. He is more
apt to dodge and lie and fight no
more.
And now abide courage, hope, pur-
pose-these three. But the greatest OF
these is courage.

First Vacuum Cleaner.

The vacuum cleaner which has only
recently come into favor, was covered
by a patent granted in 1869 to Daniel
Hess of West Union, Ia His device
was a carpet sweeper in which as it
rolled over the floor a bellows oper-
ated to create a suction, draw dust
UP from the carpet and discharge ii
into pans Of water, the bellows being
worked from a crank on one of the
SUPP Crting rollers. This cleaner close
" resembles those marketed today
in that it has broad fiat nozzle to
move along the floor, handle ex-
tending up to be grasped by one of
the operators hands, while the other
hand turns drive pulley geared by
a rope with a fan which sucks the
dust up into receptacle carried by
the handle above the fan. A machine
following this plan of more than 40
years ago, If well made mechanically,
would present a good appearance
alongside of the modern machines,
and doubtless would give good results
in actual use.
