George Spencer is waking things
up in the way OF improving the
looks of his end of the twn.
Geo. has been arising before break
fast ever since he moved to Lake
View and the result is that he has
one of the neatest looking yards,
garden and property in town. And
now he has the street trimmed up
on the north and west of his pro-
perty, in order to put in curbing
about ten or twelve feet from the
side walk and this will add greatly
to the appearance of the street.
Lake View Resort.
When the Resort" knows the
Hinglish as well as we do, they will
learn that they usually "arise
before breakfast" and George is
mo exception. This is because
the sea air in their native land
created voracious appetite in their
youth. which is somewhat satisfied
in his case, by the pure morning
breeze, off the Lake.

Martin E. Mortensen

The candidate for Treasurer on
the Democratic ticket is man
worthy the confidence of every in
telligent voter in Audubon County,
or in all the state for that mater.
From over a quarter of century's
we can say, without fear of contra
diction, that he is a gentleman and
scholar, and his having filled ma
ny of the responsible township of
fees of his home township fits
him for the duties of the office
to which he aspires. Mr. Morten-
sen came to this country in the ear
ly SOS and has by diligence and
perseverance raised his family,
and paid for his farm. He is today
one of foremost responsible farmers
and hustler.

WHEN DRAINAGE is NEEDED.

1.-TWO KINDS of soils
need draining; those
that have too much
water, and those that are
too shallow. The signs of
poor drainage are obvious.
Swamps, marshes, mead
ows and all other low lands
on which water stands for
any considerable time may
be drained, provided there
is fall enough to secure an
outlet. These low lands
may be those which collect
surface drainage, or seep-
age from nearby higher
land; or they may be lands
that are regularly flooded
by fresh water or by tides.
Farm land which dries out
slowly in spring, making
the working and growing
season shorter, or on which
water stands for a long
time after heavy rains,
needs to be drained. If

Some years ago publishing house

The head Of the house and q member

Church Music.

Music has long been notoriously a
provoker Of discord. Once in my
news-hunting days I suffered the ig.
nominy Of scoop on choir rumpus,
and l thereupon formed the habit of
lending an anxious ear to rumors OF
trouble in choir lofts. The average
ladder-like TIE Deum, built up for IT,
display Of the sopranos vocal Prov
ess, has always struck me as an un-
holy thing. even believe that the
horrors of highly embellished offer
tories have done much to tighten
pursestrings and deaden generous i'm.
pulses. The presence behind the pull
pit OF languid Quartette praising God
on behalf Of the bored sinners In the
pews has always seemed to me the
profanest Of anomalies Nor has long
contemplation Of vested choirs in
Episcopal churches shaken my belief
that choir music should be an affair
OF the congregation.-Mer Nichol
son, In the Atlantic
