RETARY ON EVOLUTION or
TRACTION ENGINES.

The short term class at the agricul-
turaI college was given a rare treat
this morning when a most interest
ing lecture that vas prepared by ]. B..
Bartholomew. president OF the Avery
Machine Co., was read by George l.
Avery, secretary of the company as
the former could not be here. The
class is studying steam and gasoline
engines and their mechanism and the
lecture took up the subject of traction
engines from their first reception
which was about fifty years ago and
showed the great improvements that
had been made in them up to the
present time. He showed what a
great revolution they had made in the
business OF farming and said that in
this opinion they are well nigh perfect
at the present time.
He illustrated his lecture by about
450 slides that showed the evolution OF
the traction engine from the first
to the present. 1t was one Of the most
interesting Of the Monday morning
addresses that has yet been given and
Mr.. Bartholomew through Mr.. Avery
was thanked for the instructive en-
tertainment, Mr.. Avery being person
ally thanked for his part.

JAMES Z.
Candidate for Judge Of Supreme
Court.

In his publicity letter, Robinson
says: The expense Of q law suit Ii
commonly ruinous to both the winner
and the loser, and yet, a large part az
1t Is levied on the tax payers. The
judges have time and opportunity to
note the defects Of the law and to
draft n secure the passage OF meas
ures to remedy every defect. They
nave power to make rules OF court.
and to put an end to ali the DELAYS,
crafts and technicalities which con
tlnue to be a reproach to the law.
They have power to get out of the old
ruts OF the law and to deal out rem
ed1al justice in a plain, common sense
and businesslike manner. This they
have never done. On the contrary.
they keep in the old ruts Of the law
and permit an old technical procedure
to blind their ayes and to shut out
the light of truth, and often To make
g mockery of justice. The Judges Of
n United States supreme court and
every other court are merely public
servants who have a task to perform.
If they cannot lay aside vain pomp
n dignity and keep up with their
work and do 1t well, their plain duty
is to give place to others who can do
1t. There is no honesty in drawing
q salary for the doing OF work which
is left undone.
The writer is a worker and a think
er. He offers to work and to show how
to remedy the wrongs OF legal proce-
dure. He offers to formulate and Sc
cure the passage of court rules and
laws to make every step and every
proceeding In the courts as cheap and
as simple as it can be made. He thinks
on the graft of the law which falls on
suitors and tax payers, and on practi-
measures to reduce 1t In each year
several hundred thousand dollars. He
promises, IL elected, to give an account
Of his work and to resign or make
good. Now it is high time to awake
out of sleep. It is high time for a
moral awakening and a great judicial
reform. 1t is time for the citizen to
think of these things, and without ia
vor to any person, to name for Judge
of the supreme court a person of ma
judgment and Of abilities to dis
Germ and do his duty. The Office de-
mands a person of very special fitness.
A person may be q nice gentleman, a
smooth talker, a clever politician with
a good store OF law, ana stiII ne may
have no special fitness for this office.
He may not have ~clearness OF discern
ment and mental vision, a judicial
temperament and a practical knowl-
edge of law and common business af-
fairs. Why not ask the candidate:
Have you had q supreme court prac-
tice Of many years, and have you any
real experience in conducting law
business? Can you show your faith
by your work and not by mere law
talk and theory?
Respectfully submitted,
James u. Robinson.

INVESTIGATED, FREED
Two Young Fellows Bought More
Whisky Than They Wanted and
Tried to Sell the Surplus.

Since day before yesterday two
young fellows, who gave their names
as Johnson and Shannon have been
held at the police station under
charges OF Bookkeeping. Their cases
have been thoroughly investigated by
the states attorney and while there
plenty OF evidence in warranting
the arrest OF the two, still there was
hardly enough to ensure conviction in
the county court. According to the
stories OF the two men they came from
a village across the river and proceed
ed to fill up both inside and out with
liquor. They bought more bottled
goods than they thought they were
doing and they offered to sell it to
different people, but did not display the
goods. They were informed against
and their arrest followed. Their
stories were investigated and found to
be. correct and they were permitted
to go. They said they didn't know
they were breaking the law.
Al nan who had a tit on the street
last night was before Police Magi-
strate Miller this morning. He admit
ted to being under the influence, but
showed he was a working mar ana
was discharged.

WHAT WILL We
Do WITH BOYS?
SOME GREAT THINKER HAS SAID
THE BEST THING TO DO is TO
TEACH THEM TO BE MEN
GIVE THEM A FORUM BIBLE
SAVE CERTIFICATES.

Boys will be boys" as the old say
ing goes, and many do not appreciate
that fact for some parents treat the
boy as an infant up to the time when
he is old enough to vote, while some
go to the other extreme and try to
make a full grown man of him In
his infancy, so there arises what is
known as the boy problem"
Those who have made a study of the
subject say that We should not deal
with him as a boy, neither as an in
FAINT, nor as a full grown man. If
we solve the hoy problem of today
we solve the mar problem of tomor-
row. There is no question but that
the early teaching OF the boy has much
to do with his character in after years.
One mother who is competent to

Harry Weiser, the banker of Hunt

dent Of the First National bank OF this
city, with his family took dinner at
the Waldorf Saturday. They were on
their way in their auto to Detroit

they were having a pleasant drive.

better. Why, the sight about Hunter
is fit for sore eyes. The grain is we'll
grown, and it simply looks grand. We
found the roads to be in excellent
condition all the way into town, and
we hope to have a pleasant drive to
the lake this Afternoon. Business out
in Hunter is getting along all right
and everything seems prosperous"
Walter r. Reed, one Of the best
known and most popular men of the
state was a guest at the Gardner last
Saturday, from his home at Armenia,
and he had nothing but good words
to a of the crop conditions in his
section. Every farmer that / meet

broad grin on his face, for the pros
poets are the best that I have ever
seen. The growing grain looks healthy

anything could happen that would

''the man who rode the mule at the

day guest at the Waldorf yesterday

among his brother Elks and others OF
his friends. Speaking of the recent
convention he said that he had seen

that it was impossible for him to re-

LARGE TONNAGE
AT N. D. Mine

Wilton News: Last Tuesday 1926
tons of coal was hoisted in ten hours
at the Washburn Lignite coal mine.
This is a record breaking output for
ten working hours and no such
amount has been brought to the sur
face between a. m. and $50 p. m.
in the history of the company. Mon
day the output was Lilo tons and the
average daily production has been
1000 tons.
When one stops to consider it will
be seen that 120 cars are hoisted each
hour or two every minute. This
means that all departments Of the
immense plant must work together
with no friction on the part of any
one. The management has secured a
force of men which cannot be beaten
for efficiency, and every man feels a
certain amount of responsibility.
The past five months have been q
strenuous time at the mine the num-
erous orders from the various ship
pers throughout the state keeping this
famous mine at it's maximum ca
pacity.

ings that win in any way benefit the

The giving of substantial prizes to
the residents Of the city who have
the best kept grounds and driveways
during the coming year;
The installation of white way"
covering ten Of the principal business
blocks of the city;
Securing additional engines and
dynamos for the municipal water and
lighting plant that no emergency by
fire or otherwise may arise beyond
control; t
Utilization Of exhaust steam from
the municipal plant for the installa-
ton of a municipal central heating
system.
Committees have been appointed to
carry out the plans formulated last
night.
