in this association carry with it the
season privileges of the assembly.
Put on a six-day assembly, beginning
Monday morning and closing Satur-
day night. Devote the morning hours
to lecture studies and afternoons and
evenings to lectures and entertain
ments. A splendid program could be
secured for such week, and the cost
of season tickets need not exceed
$3.50 or $500. Enough Of these
should be sold in advance to guar
antee the cost Of the assembly. With
some such plan carried out, we feel
confident that the assembly would be
a splendid success not only from an
ethical standpoint, but that the as
ISOLATION would have handsome bal
ance in the treasury when everything
was paid up, which could be used to
continue its work.
The assembly grounds and audi
forum are at the disposal Of such
an organization at very reasonable
rental, providing an ideal meeting
place already prepared and equipped,
The writer attempted to call a
meeting of those interested thru in
serting a news item call not long ago.
No personal notices were sent to
anyone. There were three who re-
sponded-Supt. Foster, Mr.. Sandbo
and the editor. One pastor called up
and expressed his regrets because of
his inability to be there. We agreed
that sufficient notice had not been
given, and so the Association was not
organized then and there. Before an
other call is made, let US have a lit
tie more discussion of the matter.
Let us hear from all interested thru
the columns Of the local press Of the
county. Let us hear form the ed
itors, the pastors, the teachers,
school officers, and anybody else who
is interested in education. What
have you to say, pro or conf

Shall We Have a Chautauqua?

The question of whether or not
Kandiyohi County is to have its an
nual chautauqua this summer is a
pertinent one at the present time.
Five annual sessions have been held,
in every case with success from the
educational or ethical side but with
a disastrous financial result to the
gentlemen who have given their time
and energy towards placing the pro-
grams before the people. The peo-
pie who have been backing the enter
prise financially during these five
years have thrown up their hands
and said "Enoughw This not so
much for the actual money it has
cost them to make up Deficiencies
each year, but because they realize
that as heretofore organized they
have not been able to command the
full sympathy and cooperation from
those who ought to be interested in
such an institution. If there is to be
an assembly this year, it remains for
those interested to get together and
provide for one, for there is now no
organization that can or will do it.
We are loath to believe that the
people of Kandiyohi county wish to
see this annual event discontinued.
We believe there will easily be suf-
ficient financial support forthcoming,
when people generally are made to
feel their responsibility in the mat
ter. How can this be brot about I?
Only by organization.
Let all who should be educational
ly interested join together in the or
ganization of a Kandiyohi County
Chautauqua Association. Pastors,
teachers and intellectual people from
all parts of the county should join.
The annual assembly could be put
on under the auspices Of such body
and command prestige sufficient to
make it a comparatively simple mat
ter to secure the necessary advance
sale Of tickets to guarantee the cost,
and thus not entail any financial loss
TO any one individual. Let the dues

The Odds Against Him.

The Odds Against Him.
The noise OF the opening Of the
door and the thrush Of cold air that
followed awoke Enid Maitland to In
stant action. She rose to her feet and
faced the entr sse through which she
expected Newb5aa TO reappear for of
course the newcomer must be he
and for the life Of her she could not
help that radiating fash of joy, the
momentary anticipation of which fair
ly TRANSPORTED her being; although II
she had stopped to reflect she would
have remembered that not in the
whole course of their acquaintance had
Newboid ever entered her room at any
time without knocking and receiving
permission.
Some of that joy yet fingered in her
lovely face when she tardily recog-
aized the newcomer in the half light.
Armstrong, scarcely waiting to close
the door, sprang forward joyfully with
hAa hands outstretched.

The Last Resort OF Kings and Men.
The sudden entrant upon a quarrel
between others is invariably at dis
advantage. Usually he Is unaware
Of the cause OF differences and general
~ he has no Idea of the stage Of de-
#velopment Of the affair that has been
reached. Newbold suffered from this
lack Of knowledge and to these dis
advantages were added others. For
Instance, he III not the faintest idea
as to who OF what was the stranger.

Newbo1d did not recognize the man be-
fore him as the original Of the face in
his Wife's locket, although he had stud
led that face over and over again. A
nearer scrutiny, a longer study, would
have enlightened him of course, but
for the present he saw nothing but a
stranger visibly perturbed on one side
and the woman he loved apparently
fercely resentful, stormily indignant,
confronting the other with an up
raised hand.
The man, whoever he was, had az
fronted her, had aroused her indigna-
ton, perhaps had insulted her, that
was plain. He went swiftly to her
side, he interposed himself between
her and the man.

Trials of the Pioneer.

Some idea Of the trials OF pioneer.

practice just reported by physician
practicing in Sale, Queensland. He
was summoned to Talbotsville, on the
Crooked river, eighty miles away, to
attend a woman. He motored half
way, and had to ride the rest. As
soon as he had examined the case, he
ordered the Woman's removal to Sale.
The road was so bad that f1fty-two
men, working in relays, had to carry
the woman up and down the precipi-
tous places on shutter, fording the
river four times. Finally a buggy was
secured and the patient reached hos

Ruins of Buried VILLAGE.

Constant movements of the sands
below the battery at Ferryside, near
Carmarthen, have disclosed the re-
mains OF buried village, and seem
to confirm 8 local tradition, relates
the London Telegraph. The houses
are OF the usual "back-to-back'' type
common in Welsh villages until the
end Of the Victorian era, and are be-
ifeved to be the remains of the village
OF st. Ismael. which In the reign of
James ]. was swamped by an thrush
OF the sea, which considerably altered
the coast line Of Carmarthen bay.

The warm color had flushed her

HAVING A PURPOSE IN LIFE
Means an Uplifting That WIN o'eao
lIy Make foe the Betterment OF
the Individual.

Try to have purpose in life Even
II the aim is not specially uplifting
ANYTHING ia better than drifting.
Try each day to take step 1or"aru.
Realize there is 40 way to stand stlli.
Your daily step up may not be long
ma Init he sure it Ia In the right Oh
rection.
TRY to learn concentration. Not TO
possess 1t means waste OF energy. Ihe
woman who can put her mind TO any
pne thing and keep her mind there un-
Ill her object is accomplished will get
far In life. The reason of many fall-
ures is that most of us have not learn
I'd that each thing must be done with
our mind on 1t.
Try to be healthy. Save a few H.
stances, sickness can be traced to I'm
prudence II we overeat, under-e1-
srcise and stint on fresh air, our bod
les and spirits will pay the penalty.
No one wants to become cranky
about health, but she does need TO
know what makes a well woman anu
practice that knowledge.
Try to be sincere. There Is much
lnsincerity tolerated among women
but let them never deceive themselves
that life brings the best rewards TO
those who have 1t.
TIL not to confound sincerity with
rudd-e The pleasing hattery may
not commendable, but she is more
com ,anionable than the girl who
brides herself on telling the truth,
whether 1t wounds or not. There are
few occasions In life when an unasked
opinion is safe or kind.
Try to keep young heart. Many
women who spend money trying to
keep young face or figure worry not
that they feel as old as the hills. Yet
those who get the pleasure out Of
life are just big-hearted girls to the
end.
Try to keep sweet There is SO
much to sour us. It does not take
png to feel that the world Is hollow
ind life a grind. The girl who can
keep sweet In the face Of the facts OF
life has acquired the secret Of real
happiness and real helpfulness.
