6 MONTHS GONE
AND ALL HAPPY
Redwood Falls Revels In The
Prosperity Brought By
1912

Six months OF 1912 have gone
glimmering.
The sun has passed the high mark,
the days are growing shorter, and
the boy that was born on Janury 1st
is well started on his journey.
The past six months were good
months. January and February be-
longed to the coal man, March to
the doctor. April and May to the
farmer, and June to the bride.
Ramsey Park has been dedicated,
Chautauqua has come and gone.
The circus was here day, vacation
came, the swimming hole is ripe,
base ball is in full swing, and a re-
cord crop is maturing. With crops
everybody is happy and prospecting.
Judging from the fruit which the
first half of 1912 has given, it seems
perfectly safe to predict that the
next six months will bring equal
prosperity.
Crops have received ample mois-
ture to insure bountiful returns.
business in every line is strengthen
ing, the health of the community is
excellent. and people generally are
happy.
There are several more months of
summer left in which to romp and
revel, with another one of these fair
Minnesota summers to enjoy before
snow time.
As q city for homes Redwood Falls
equals the best in the land, and sur
passes many with a larger popula-
ton.

homes beautiful. while pefect sew

WOULD-BE LIBELS ON REAL POLITICIANS

Some men are born to fight as the
sparks to fly upwards. Touch Lewis
G. Spooner at almost any old angle
that comes handy and you'll have a
fight on your hands in a jiffy. He
may grab you by the throat and
throttle the day-lights out of you
but he'll give you a dressing down
that will lack no element essential to
perfection.
He Classics Them Thoroughly
When Mr.. Lewis G. Spooner starts
in to classify an enemy he is prodigal
of words. He employs every figure
of speech from hyperhole to meta
phore and when done the object of
his wrath knows exactly where he's
at and where he's going to get off.
Back Of this determination to tell
certain interested people the truth
about themselves is heart as kind
as eyer pumped blood through 200
pounds of man. He'll do anything
he can for you, so long as you retain
his confidence and his confidence is
not lightly thrown away. Once
trusting he trusts until further
trusting would be crime. In spite
of this he is a bit suspicious in poll
tics until his associates are time tried.
HOr0 He Works in the House
Naturally it is as you would sup
pose: He is no schemer. One can't
fight and scheme and Spooner is a
fighter. Watch him on the floor of
the House. Some fellow seeking a
little brief notoriety introduces a
measure punctured to death with
jokers. The members. Indifferent,
pay little attention. seem bit more
than half inclined to let the fool bill

good as the title Of any of the uncon-
tested Taft delegates. Deducting
merely the latter number, Mr.. Taft's
vote sinks at once to 481. or so less
than were required for his nominal
ton. These 481 represent the max
imum of legally obtained votes which
Mr.. Taft could claim on the conven-
ton.
i use legally in a purely technical
sense; many of these 481 votes, such
as, for instance, the six votes Of the
Ohio delegates at large, were OBTAIN
ed for Mr.. Taft in a fashion that
would have been instantly repudiat-
ed by any man with high and fine
sense of either private honor or pub
lie duty.
1t was go votes less than were nee
essary for a nomination. Not only
was the nomination of Mr.. Taft alb
solutely fraudulent but SO was the
seating of Mr.. Root, and 50 was every
motion adopted by the fraudulent
National Convention.

go through. Spooner sits chewing
a cigar, condemning the bill and its
author in an undertone to his neigh
Dor. Just before the roll is called,
he addresses the speaker.
White haired, white faced, massive
of shoulder, bull throated and bull
voiced he stands before the House.
He begins quietly, but in a minute
his righteous rage. and it's easy for
him to find an occasion for right
eous rage, sets his voice laundering
and shaking his fist at the offending
member ne reveals every wood chuck
and goes Dante one better in getting
the author into hot corner of hades.
That'sSpooner.
Ouffor BuSjneSSAd administration
Now he is trying to secure the Re-
publican nomination as governor.
He is telling the voters that the state
needs a business administration,
which is true and that he would give
it such an administration, which is
also doubtless true. The trouble IS,
Spooner hasn't yet landed the nomi-
nation. He has ability to burn but
he's not a politician. He's fighter.
He has fought too often and too
strenuously to make friends. Afew
very close friends he has, and great
many admirers but of political
friends he's DANCED shy. AS a mixer
he's almost as successful as an Indian
cigar sign but when he climbs onto
the platform and begins to talk all
the other candidates shake in their
boots.
So endeth the story of the big
Drained anomaly, Lewis c. Spooner,
candidate for governor.

A Story
A Story

Many otherwise beautiful women
have been neglected by nature with
a lack of glossy. lustrous. dark Eye
brows; many Blondes of True Morse
-mantype with beautiful eyes cannot
show them off to an advantage
through lack OF dark, heavy, lust
rous eyebrows.
To meet a universal and popular
demand among the fair sex we have
after much experimenting produced
a compound termed ''DABRO" con-
sisting Of harmless Organic Sub
stances, Essential Oils, BaIsams, ETC.,
yielding by our process stiff emul-
sion which will stimulate growth Of
the eyebrows and darken them to the
desired shade.
Harmful Eyebrow Pencils
Should be discarded as they only
tend to envelope your hair with a
film of greasy matter, preventing ac-
cess of fresh air and thus to your
detriment serve the opposite purpose
for which you had intended them
namely, identifying yourself.

En- A GALE AT SEA.

One of the worst gales for many years was
experienced on the British COASTS Old Sunday,
and in the English Channel the wind occn-
sioualIy reached a velocity Of eighty miles an
hour. y
Hundreds of passengers in three Channel
packets, after extremely bad crossings were
kept at sea off Folkestone and Dover for
many hours, the violence of the gale making
it impossible to enter the ports.
The vessels were so buffeted i'll crossing
that it was impossible to stand on the decks,
and everyone was i'll. They came III sight
of port only to find that they must cruise
up and dow in the great sea till the wealth
ell moderated.
Waves continually swept the Dover Adj
miralty Pier and broke clean over the light
house. Great storm doors were broken
down and offices wrecked on the main pier,
while on the extension pier a huge wave
which smashed the electric switch board
switched on the lights which illuminate the
whole of the landings.
Rescued BY Rocket.
In Westbay, Dungeness, the Newcastle
steamer Crugoswold, from Antwerp, i'll bal
last, grounded. Thirteen of the crew of
twenty-five were taken off by the rocket
apparatus, but the captain and officers re-
manned on board.
Brighton foreshore suffered considerably,
and two shop-fronts on the King's-road, fac
ing the sea, were blown i'll.
Considerable damage was done to the
yachts at their moorings i'll the Thames es-
tuary at Southend. Several small vessels
broke away and were smashed on the sea
wall.
Rough weather was also experienced on
the east coast. The Lowestoft steam herring
drifter Boy Ben while returning to port had
one of her crew washed overheard and
droWned.-UiH.

ELECTRIC PLANT CULTURE.
VISIBLE RESULTS AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES
TREATMENT.

A German process, the patent Of Mr..
Mics, of electric culture for plants and cleo
trio impetus to seed gorm,nation was the
subject of an interesting demonstrating AZ
file ROYAL Botanic Gardens, Regents Park,
on Saturday!
The demonstration took a handful Of old
wheat, from which in the ordinary way only
80 per cent. Of termination could be expect
an. and placed them on some moist earth on
a conper plate, placed some more moist earth
over the seed. covered ii with a z'n' plate,
and then passed through the wheat first "
current of twenty volts, anu afterwards, for
q shorter period, an alternating current OF
4 quarter of an hour later the current was
sv;tched off and the wheat taken out. 1t
was then seen that the germ in the wheat
berry had moved and the epiderm's OF the
berry had cracked owing to the action winch
had been going on within. 1t IS claimed that
BY this treatment wheat can be brought to
r,atnxity three weeks earlier than under nor
