complete march on his friends and
brought his bride to Smyrna to

they have been receiving the con.

pair shop at Atlantic City, 10 which
place they will go tomorrow to take

Farmers in This Vicinity Expect Good
Crop-SI.Oo Wheat Predicted
Wheat is about ready for cutting
and binders will probably be busy
during the next two weeks through
out the county. While some dam
age has been done in some sections
of the county by the fly, the crop in
general will be good one. Recent
rains helped the grain to head up
we'll. Wheat was quoted the latter
part of last week at ST. for July
or August, and indications are that
locally the first price will be around
81 per bushel. The price for 1912
will be higher than in any recent
year by several points, though 81. 40
is on record for one county on the
Eastern Shore several years ago.
Old wheat is quoted now around
S1.25 a bushel.

was definitely proved that oats, though
more expensive, is better feed Tor
work horses than corn-on oats horses
gained IL pounds while on corn they
lost 20 pounds. But corn in combina-
tion with alfalfa gave as good results
as oats and was so per cent cheaper.
Alfalfa was found superior to either

best ration found, though not the

NAP0LE0N'S DESTINY.

Summed Up In Four Notices Bona.
parte Learned at School.
In 1884 Bonaparte. then fifteen years
old. arrived at the military school OF
Paris from Brienne. being one of four
under the conduct of a minim priest.
He mounted 173 steps. carrying his
small valise. and reached. in the attic.
the barrack chamber he was to occupy.
This chamber had two beds and a
small window opening on the great
yard of the school. The young prede-
cessors of Bonaparte had bescra wled
the whitewashed walls with charcoal.
and the newcomer could read in this
little cell these four inscriptions, which
we ourselves read there years ago:
An epauIet is very long to win.-
De Montgivray.
The finest day in life is that Of bat
tle.-Vicomte de Tinteniac.
Life is but a prolonged lie.-Le Che.
Waller Adoiphe Delmas.
The end Of all is six feet of earth.
lie Comte de la Villette.
With the trifing substitution of the
word ''empire" for "epaulet'' these four
sentences contain the whole destiny of
Bonaparte and formed a kind of
"'Mene. Tekel. Upharsin," written in
advance upon that wall.-Victor Hugo.

FIRST COUSINS CANNOT MARRY,

FIRST COUSINS CANNOT MARRY.
A great many people are not aware
that the present laws of Minnesota
prohibit the marriage of first cousins
This law was passed at the last session
of the legislature. Up to that time, it
was lawful tor first cousins to marry,
and the old marriage license blanks
that are in the hands of many town
clerks set forth that the contracting
parties are mot nearer than first cou-
sins' in point of relationship. Appli-
cations tor licenses. made on these
blanks, come into the clerk of court

correction in order to comply with
the law. The words first cousins"
have to he stricken out in the blanks

serted instead. The change IN the
law should be noted, as the necessity
for correction may lead to awkward
complication, at times. especially in
case where tho applications reach the
office only day or two before the date
set for the wedding. The necessity for
sending them back ard having them
corrected may necessitate postpone
meuts in some instances.-Ex.

NOISY FISHES.

The Skate Grunts, the Puffer Chuckles
and the Drumfish Booms.
Perhaps the most conspicuous exam
pie of the fishes that are capa BILE of ut
terance is the drumfsh. SO called by
reason of the deep, booming noise it
produces at will. 1t is found along
the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts
to Florida.
The squeteague, another salt water
fish Of the noisy variety, resembles in
appearance the trout, and the not IN
musical sound that it gives out is
much like the note uttered by a big
bullfrog: Allied to the squeteague is
the fish known as "the croaker," which.
as its popular name indicates, affects
the croak-an unmistakable croak.
The sea robin. so called because ii
has crimson fms just behind it's head,
about the size Of birds wings. is an.
other fish that makes itself heard.
The "squawk" Of the sea robin Is es.
pectally emphatic when on being
caught it lifts up it's voice in reiterat.
ed protests.
There is fish that may be said to
chucke-the little puffer or swellfish.
1t puffs itself into the shape Of a per-
feet sphere and az it does so gives
out peculiar. hoarse chuckle.
The skate when caught grunts
groans and gasps pretty much after
the manner Of human being in dis.
tress Carp and goldfish frequently
utter curious sounds, but hardly sounds
In the meaning Of the term here used
inasmuch as their sounds are produced
by approaching the surface Of the wa
ter and blowing out air in bubbles I'm.
til ripping noise is heard.-Denve1

We believe Woodrow Wilson learned
more in six months after he took Office
as governor, than he did in all his
life b-fore. He found out what big
business really wants and what it
means. No man ever learned faster or
vas more willing to apply the new
knowledge. And it is to his lasting
credit that having learned, he acted,
and showed himself great American
and great statesman. He could have
compromised-'in the interests OF
harmony could have talked the
alush about 'all kinds of democrats
getting together - could have let Jim
Smith have his way "for. the sake of
the party But he didn't. Some
gentlemen that now desire to be presi-
dent would have compromised prin.
ciple out of sight. Woodrow Wilson
struck the ugly heads of political cor
rupt1on and rotten business without
reference to who was involved. And he
struck hard. The result was revolu-
tion in New Jersey and the hatred of
Wall street and Its mlnions all over the
country, including Minnesota. Aud
that hatred Is splendid tribute to the
fearlessness, the integrity and the real
democracy of Woodrow Wilson. :.

RETRIBUTION TO CONE.

. st. Peter Herald: George T. Simp-
son, who retired from the office Of at
torney general, made public an inter-
view with the notorious Ed. Smith,
chairman of the Republican state cen.
trail committee. Attorney General
Simpson cherished an ambition to be-
come governor of Minnesota, but
gave up his gubernatorial aspirations
when informed by the chairman of the
committee that he must expect the
opposition OF the orgnizatiou-that he
was free to become candidate for the
nomination but must expect to fight
the machine: His story bears all the
earmarks Of truth, and it exposes 3
condition Of affairs which shows that
Minnesota is as badly boss ridden a.
Rhode Island or Wyoming. The most
partisan Republican can have ne rea-
son to doubt the words ct man who
has been q party leader. Perhaps
they will hasten the retribution that
is sure to come.

In 1904 most of the democratic con-
gressmen, practically all of them, in
Guiding John Lind, were for Parker.
They wanted to win, wanted harmony
get together, and the rest of the
familiar arguments. We believe the ST..
Cloud Times will agree with us that
they were frightfully mistaken. In
fact, we understand Mr. Lind, who IS
SO great a man that he can afford to
say so, says it was d mistake. The cleo
tion of November, 1904. showed 1t as a
CHASTITY error. The congressman we're
wrong, and Underwood was one OF
them The people we're right. The
democratic party suffered the worst
defeat in it's history, with scarcely the
glory of suffering in a good cause. So
1t is possible for some democratic con.
gressmen now to make mistakes, and
serious ones. They should take their
ears to lower level than the tables of
clubs. and get them to the ground.
They'll hear something.

Handicappinq tho BURGLAR

Handieappine the Burglar.
Burglaries in private houses in vi
erna are rare, because the doors are
locked from 10 o'clock at night to 6 in
the morning by order of the police. Ad-
mission and exit between those hours
are given by the house porter, who re-
ceives fee for unlocking the door
and is bound to report to the police
the dotngs and mode Of life of all the
Inhabitants Of the house. This system
Of lock money Is tresome. but in vi.
emma, as at Naples, where it also ex.
lists, it obliges burglars and other Grim.
inals to operate during the daylight
and diminishes their chances Of sue
cess. The landlords tried a few years
ago the system Of giving the key Of
the housa door to tenants, but the ma
jority OF the keys have been with.
drawn.

his platform will also be progressive.

fractional warfare in Todd county, but
conditions there may be different now.

Is man of ability and great possibili.

denunciation of corporation control,

dominance of the big breweries If
these candidates can bring to. the at.
tentlon of the people, with proof, the
facts in an aggressive way as we un-
derstand they intend to do, there need
be no fear that the people will not act.
There is no ethical or moral difference
in being controlled by a big brewery
than by big railroad. We believe
in personal liberty, but we co not be-

people of this state by any special in
