The Glendorado Northwestern Tele-
phone Co. held its meeting at II. W.
Magnus' on Monday, January s, to
elect officers and transact other bust
ness.
The year of 1911 has been a pros
porous year for Glendorado. Great
progress was made by the farmers OF
this town during the past year. The
crops we're fair, the corn yield being
unusually large. A great many
buildings have been erected and q lot
of land has been cleared and made
into frst-class fields. Nearly every
farmer has purchased new labor saw
ing machinery the last two years and
0. K. Stowe and Even Stay are
owners of automobiles. Glendorado
is covered with telephone lines and
mail routes, new bridges have been
built and repaired, for which the
town board deserves much credit.
The following are among those who
have built within the past two years:
Patrick Griffen, barn; Huldah Hub
bard, barn and chicken coop; Ed
Indrehus, house; Lewis Severson,
barn; Joe Wasmuth, addition to
barn; b. W. Magnus, auto garage;
Andrew Anderson, corn crib and
machine shed; Jens Nicholson, house
and barn; Halvorson Bros, barn
and basement for large house; John
E. Hughes, bee house; Herman Stay,
house; Aug. Alickson, remodeled
barn; E. B. Bachelor, barn; A. P.
Carlson, barn; Elmer Denison, re-
modelled house, and Ole Pierson, barn
and outbuildings. So you see that
Glendorado is pushing ahead and no
town in the state has more progress
sive and prosperous farmers.

The Japanese Beggar.

Directly a policeman Of one station
discovers a beggar he kicks him away,
no matter whittier, and another police
man of another station catches hold of
the fellow and throws him out of his
area, and so on, with the consequence
that beggars after wandering from one
ward to another and back again ul-
timately settle down in the region
of the least resistance, namely, the
suburbs. The latest happenings prove
that suburbs are fast becoming the
centers Of mendicity and criminality
The mainichi therefore begs the au-
thorities ito adopt positive instead
of patchwork policy" advocating an
exhaustive study of the problem.
Another plan is that the teachers Of
primary schools be called upon to i'm
press upon the emotional youngsters
the utter despicability of begging, SO
that the younger generation may con-
slider beggars as those deserving to be
kicked out for their laziness or to be
maintained by public charity, rather
than as poor fellows meriting individ.

CLAIMS NEED OF NEW PARTY
Frank A. Munsey, Considered Roose-
velt's Chief Adviser, Is Bitter
Over Situation.

Philadelphia, June 25.-Frank A.
Munsey, chief adviser to Roosevelt,
in a long editorial under his own name
printed in the Philadelphia Times, a
newspaper owned by him, gives his
views of the convention and of the
new Roosevelt party to be formed
In part he says:
There will be no further protest on
the part of the Roosevelt forces, nc
further appeal to reason and justice
on the part of the Roosevelt forces.
Taft's nomination will be the culmi
mating act, the closing scene in this
historic drama 1t is sad, but perhaps
a natural ending to party organlza
ton as great or the greatest the world
has ever known. But the party has
fallen into evil hands, is dominated by
political bosses, by special interests.
"The New York delegation, with its
solid body of seventy-fve voices con
trolled by Barnes, great, strong
rugged figure, defiant, clear-headed
constituencies, holds the center of the
stage. Most conspicuous among Its
members are Barnes himself, Sena
tor Root, Nicholas Murray Butler and
former Senator Depew, who, with thei1
associates, in their acts and theil
votes, exercise no more individuality
no more freedom of thought thar
grin6stones. For men of culture anC
education like these, wealthy, lntlueD
tial, occupying commanding positions
to make themselves mere cogwheels
in a great machine is both pitiable
and astounding.
"Out of this defiant and unyielding
attitude of the Old Guard has beer
born new party-a party of the PEG
pie, a party in sympathy with the PEG
pie and a party which is to this
period what the Republican party was
to the period of 1860. This new party
is not the sudden caprice of the mo
ment, not the result of disappointment
and bitterness. 1t merely is the ANAL
gamation and using of great, deep
undying forces that have for years
been struggling to the surface against
tremendous odds and tremendous op
position. Nothing could longer post
pone the inevitable. The hour has
come, and, fight as people will fight
against the severance of old ties and
associations, the commanding appeal
of the new has compelled the repudia
ton of the old.
Now that the decision is reached
now that the die has been cast, the
disappointment and sorrow of the
Progressives have given place to hope
to good cheer and to the determine
ton to get busy and do things, The
Progressive party will be a young
mans party, a party of the present
and the future, not of the past. II
will be progressive in the upbuildins
of industry and commerce; it will be
constructive. not Destructive it viii
be progressive in all that is sane and
sound and substantial and right anc

FOR UGLiEST WOMAN
ENDOWMENT FOR THE MAN WHO
MARRlES HER.
Bachelor Leaves Fund to Help Out the
HomeIy GirI-Gernan Town Re-
wards Lovers Who Marry Tn.
attractive Women.


A we'll known bachelor who died
the other day at Frankfort, Germany,
left an endowment for an annual
prize of $125 to the man who leads
the ugliest woman to the altar. II
the bride is lame as we'll as unprepos-
sessive the groom will receive an ad-
ditional $25.
This reminds us that the town of
Haschmann, in Germany, has a sys-
tenn of rewarding lovers who marry
girls who have little or no personal
attractions. A well known financier
left a sum of money to the town au-
thOrities to provide dowries for the
plainest woman under thirty married
in Haschmann every year, a cripple,
and four women under forty who had
been Tilted several times.
Givette, a town in the Ardennes,
was left some money a long time
ago, and today it encourage matri-
mony by awarding money prizes to
mothers who send the largest number
Of children to the schools.
1t may not be generally known
that the church wardens of Yatten-
den receive every two years from the
mayor and burgesses of Reading the
sum of shillings under James Po-
cocks charity. 1t appears that
Pocock by his will, dated September
26, 1910, gave to the mayor and cor
poration of Reading the sum of $3.50,
on condition that they should buy
land with the money. "The rents
thereof" so runs the will, ito be en-
ployed to provide eight shirts and
eight smocks, of two shillings apiece
each, or above, and bestow five shirts
and five smocks to ten of the poorest
people in the town of Reading and
the remainder one year to six of the
poorest people of the parish of Grill
sham, Berks and the other
year to six of the poorest people Of
the parish of Yattenden" James
Pocock also directed that the mayor
should have 6 pennies and the church
wardens pennies for their trouble in
purchasing and distributing the shirts
and smocks.
A singular ceremony was observed
at Guildford a month or so ago, when
several maid servants competed for
the maids money" which was left
by John How in 1874. According to
custom the entrants had to throw
dice, and Miss Edith Paine, scoring
the highest number, was declared the
winner.
Every spring several young servant
girls of Cardiff who wish to get mar
ried are handed a sum of money to-
ward the expense of getting a home
together. The maidens are nominated
by the Cardiff council and the mayor
pays over the dowries. This marriage
fund owes it's existence to the gener-
osity of the Marquis of Butte, he hay
ing placed in the hands of the mayor
of Cardiff, in the year 1897, the sum
of $4,000, the yearly income from
which was to be distributed each
spring to deserving servants of the
city whose wedding was impeded by
the want Of a dowry.
