TO know. to esteem, to love and
then TO part
Makes up life's tale to many a feeling

Do YOU want to know the joy. the
sweet sting of living? Get the habit
of loving.
Love does not come to all in the
same guise
The moods Of love are like the wind;
And none know whence or why they
rise
You MAY not know it has arrived.
IT is difficult" sang Longfellow. TO
know at what moment Love begins-it
is less difficult to know that it has

The only thing for you to do is to
welcome it gladly and without shame
An honest love is something to bs

Then YOU don't love at all You

State Senator Marden returned today
from a speaking tour over Becker coun-
ty where he made some sledgehammer
blows in the interest OF the q. O. p.
The senator was accompanied by sever
al of the county officers, who put in
all the ticks they could for the repub-
licans. The speakers found very few
democrats and while the vote will be
divided on republican presidential can
didates the state, legislative and
county tickets will be the party support
from top to bottom.
Mr.. Marden says that prosperity
holds sway in all parts of Becker
county and he noted many improve
ments since he made his speaking tour
al a candidate himself two years ago.
Among the prominent enterprises were
two splendidly equipped creameries,
one on the line between Wolfe Lake

between Wolfe Lake and C~arsonville,

Ninth street and Ninth avenue north.

floor laid. Over this will be placed a

This will house the congregation for
the winter very comfortably and next
year it is hoped that the balance of
the structure may be completed. Many
of the big churches of the east have
followed this plan when erecting a
new church and it apparently gives
good satisfaction,
