The Secret
Of Strength.

The hero, Doctor Stockmann. the
man who has been so ready to tell
the people of his town wherein they
are wrong. when defeated in his
purposes, boycotted, and even be-
sieged in his home, comes at last
to the declaration that he made to
his wife. Il have discovered that
am the strongest man on the earth
the man who stands most alone"
Trust thyself," says Emerson,
every heart vibrates to that iron
string" SO then, that is the Sc
cret of the foundation of strength.
The great men of the ages who
have stood most alone are the men
Of whom we are now the most
proud Luther stands for the geat
institution of Professionalism. Fox
for Quakerism. Wesley for Method
ism, and Lincoln for the great ma
ton which he saved.
In the case Of Lincoln, in par
ticular it is impossible to account
for his greatness unless we remem-
Der that he did stand alone After
he had reached the age of 40 he
had absolutely nothing in his life
that had been successful, but he
stood 50 that when ne was called
to the highest Office that the peo-
pie could give he was ready to take

given to him the power that should

Richard Mansfield

Richard Mansfield was considered
the greatest actor of the age and his
reputation was given a decided i'm
petus by his magnificent portrayal Of
the dual character of DR.. Jelzyll and

Mr. Sanford Dodge who essays this
role when he presents this play in
/ this city, is we'll qualified to give it
with all of the fine and multi colored
shadings necessary to give this won
derful complex character, the living,
breathing reality.
Mr. Mansfield once declared that Of
all the characters in his repertoire,

FIVE THOUSAND TONS BUTTER
Big Increase in the States Dairy Pro.
duct is Ascribed to Cooperation

st. Paul, Sept. 1S.-Ten million
pounds of butter, more than ever be-
fore produced by Minnesota in IL
months, is the record for the last
year, according to the forthcoming
annual report of the state pure food
and dairy commissioner, Joel G..
Winkjer
The cause of this, according to Mr..
Winkjer, is largely the increase in Co
operative creameries throughout the
state.
Commissioner Winkjer purposes to
show by a compilation of values that
the butter industry of the state is one
of the most important of all agricul-
tural pursuits. One of the chief ad-
vantages in raising stock and feeding
the grain at home and selling the pro-
ducts, is that practically no soil fer
tility is removed from the farm,
whereas when the grain is shipped
away immense quantities of fertiliza-
ton are removed that can never be
returned, except in the form of com
mercial fertilization.

THE KIND OF CORN MINNESOTA
NEEDS

Minnesota needs the variety or va
rieties of corn which planted on her
soils will give the largest yield Of
shelled corn per acre. Because this is
true many who have not given a. great.
deal Of thought to the selection Of
corn are liable to select for large ears
without giving consideration to other
more important factors. Large ears of
corn are desirable if they can be pro-
duced. AS a rule, large ears of corn
require a longer period of growth than
do comparatively small ears of corn.
If one persists in selecting large ears
of corn the corn will gradually get
later and later until it ceases to be a
safe crop.
I The farmer is confronted with the
problem of balancing up the two fac
tors, early maturity and large ears, in
such a way that he can get corn that
will mture erly and at the same time
give large yield. The safest way to
make such selection is to select seed
l.corn early. Select at or before the
time when the first killing frost may
be expected, selecting at least fifty
ears of corn for each acre you con
template planting next year. Then,
before planting, the largest of the
early selected ears may be selected
! for planting, as but from fifteen to
twenty ears will be needed for the
acre Those that do not show a strong
! termination test can be discarded. By
! following this practice one will get
the largest variety of corn that can
be produced and matnred under his
conditions.
This is one of the reasons why the
Minnesota Agricultural College is urg-
ing the early selection Of seed corn,
and has set aside the week of Sep
ltember 1921 (this week. as a desira-
ble time in which to select seed corn

A USEFUL CITIZEN is GONE

Harry Miner passed away early
yesterday morning after a few days
illness, the cause Of death being tu-
NOR of the breast. Deceased was
born in Illinois July 18, 1870, hence
his Hfe's span was 42 years and two
months. He came to Warren from
Gibsen City, ILL.,, about eight years
ago and while here he has been en-
ployed nearly all the time in the real
estate Office of the Pioneer Loan &
Land Company. Last spring he form
ed a partnership with R. M. Gilbert
for operating the Warren Garage. AS
business man, Mr.. Miner possessed
excellent qualifications, and his in
tegrity and promptness were recog-
nized by all who had dealings with
him in a business way. AS citizen
he was enterprising and useful, al
ways willing and ready to assist all
he could in every good cause having
| for it's object the upbuilding of the
community. He appeared always to
be cheerful and optimistic and helped
to scatter some sunshine along life's
pathway. During his few years resi-
dence he has made many staunch
friends who We're shocked to learn Of
his sudden demise and now stand
mourning at his bier. Deceased
leaves a wife as the immediate
nourner, also many other relatives in
Illinois. Tc the bereaved the com
munity offers heartfelt sympathy We
lare informed that the remains will be
taken back to Illinois for interment.
Mr.. Miner was an Odd Fellow and
was enrolled in the lodge at his for.
mer home. The Warren lodge of the
order will meet this evening at the
undertaking rooms to hold the Gus
/ tomary service and honor the de
Eceased brother by escorting his re

TAKE TOOTHBRUSH CENSUS

In order to assist local school and
health authorities of the state to
watch the health of pupils in the
schools, the state board of health has
prepared a series of questions to be
answered by the pupil, from which it
can be quickly seen which pupils may
need medical attention.
The papers when answered will give
a grading Of the health of each pupil.
Among the questions are ones relating
to the use Of tea and coffee by pupils,
the use of a tooth brush, whether the
windows are open in bedrooms, Whe-
.ther the pupil gets headache often or
whether the words on the blackboard
blur.
These blanks in themselves will do
much TO further the good health of all
the pupils and can be obtained without
cost from the secretary of the state
board of health, st. Paul.

JAMES ]. HILL Will
SPEAK AT FAIR
HAS PROMISED TO MAKE AN ADJ
DRESS AT 100 ?. M. ON WE'D
NEsDAY, SEPT. IS DEAN
WOODS WILL SPEAK ON TUES
DAY THE PATH

4 @
The Marshall County Fair will be
honored by the presence of James J.
Hill, the founder and builder of the
Great Northern railway, who has pro.
missed to be present and deliver an
address on Wednesday at 100 o'clock.
We are sure the people Of Marshall
county will be pleased to come here
to see and hear the distinguished
man, who has just celebrated his 74th
year, yet is still in the full vigor Of
youth and has more big plans in his
mind Tor the development of the
Northwest that he hopes to carry out
before me is ready to retire for good.
II Mr.. Hill was not railroad man. he
would certainly be farmer, because
he always has taken a very great in
terest in the advancement of agricul-
ture. His railroads depend princi-
pally upon the farmers for their busi-
ness. Ills interests and the farmers
interests are SO to say, mutual We
are sure that Mr.. Hill will have some
things to say that will benefit us all,
therefor every farmer that can possi-
bly, do so, should come here to meet
Ihim.
The address by Dean Woods on
Tuesday will also be worth coming a
hundred miles to hear. He is the
head ef the State Agricultural College
at st. Anthony Park, the greatest
school of the kind in the whole
world, and we are sure everybody
will want to hear him.
Now final word about the fair.
Farmers, this is your fair and gotten
up for your benefit and enjoyment It
is for all the people of Marshall and
northern Polk and Pennington coun-
ties. It is not Warren fair as some
| lill-natured persons have charged, bur
| a Marshall County fair. Its success
or failure therefor depends on you.
| It is very hard to time a county
fair in this valley so as to hit it righr
every year. When the date was set
for this year, it was thought that the
bulk of the threshing would be done
by that time, so that all would have
been able to attend. Unfavorable
weather the past few weeks has de-
llayed the work to an extent that could
not be foreseen. Yet we hope that
all who can will come and bring with
them all their relatives and friends
Come to the fair, and bring also youl
best products.

The returns of Tuesdays primary
are coming in slowly. From the re-
turns already received it is safe to
say that Gov. Eberhart has won the
nomination, and that Knute Nelson
has defeated James Peterson for U.
S. Senator Congressman Steener-
son has been renominated by an
Overwhelming vote, and Manahan it
is claimed has carried the state for
congressman at large, although both
Eddy and Thorpe made strong runs.
Ringdal has won over Andrist for
nonination for governor on the len
ocratic ticket.
Eberhart has carried EIarshall
county by good plurality. Lee and
Young run about even, and Spooner,
Gordon and Falk have small votes.
In the contest for county officers,
the point of interest centers on the
sheriff's office on both the republican
and democratic tickets. With eight
small precincts still to hear from the
vote stands as follows: Forsberg 493,
Hanson 369, Fee 800. Forsberg's
lead can perhaps not be overcome
