113H Bushels Per Acre.

So far as learned Vernon, the four
teen year old son Of County Commits
sioner Adams of Nashville township,
has the largest yield of corn to the
acre and is the winner of the prize
offered by the state for the largest
yield grown by a Minnesota school
boy.
The state was divided into three
districts, the southern, central, and
northern, and the winner in each dis
trict is to receive in addition to a
cash prize, a years scholarship at
the state agricultural college, worth
at least 5000.
Vernon Adams of the town of Nash
vile grew 1872 bushels of corn on

his having done so. County Supt

a well-known and practical farmer of
the county, went together to the
Adams farm and verified the yield

Would il not mean that Carnegie
would be furnishing the opportunity
for these former presidents to run at
large in the United States seeking
whom they might devour?
Would their independence not make
them more obnoxious than their pow
erty renders them pitiable?
Roosevelt, barring . further in
crease in the family of Schrank,
seems likely to live Q number of
years.
William Howard Taft, hale and
hearty, and may grow old dreamless-
ly.
Woodrow Wilson, well, may he
soon become and long remain form
er president.
It is quite evident we shall soon
have three have beens on our hands.
Each drawing $4,000 per and PEN
stoned to help the nation thrive
would take himself pretty-seriously.
That looks like a tragedy.
Besides if they were actively en-
gagged in saving the nation they
would have no time for reflection and
if their services are to be worth a
row Of pins they must reflect.
Reflection is the mother of all
greatness.
You agree with us?
Very well. 1t is evident then, that
the Expatriate's scheme is funda-
mentally wrong and in place of we
suggest that they pass from the
White House to a federal detention
hospital where reflection will be one
of the rules of the institution and
become to them as the breath of their
nostrils.
This would render former presi-
dents harmless and at the same
time put a crimp in the foolish am
billions of certain other learned and
unlearned citizens of this great coun-
try.

That is the position the people OF

It is now nearly year since The

that Redwood Falls needs this form
Of city government.
Is there no demand for it?
Is every one satisfied?
Is the present charter perfection!
Will no one make move IN the oil
rection of release from a worn out
instrument?
There are men in Redwood big
enough and influential enough to set
the charter right if they set about
it. If Mayor Cooper, H. A. Baldwin,
Rud. Stensvad, w. Fl. Gold, Senator
Clague; ]. J. Ehrstein, took the ini-
tiative, associated with them other
broad minded and clear thinking men
of the city, large number of whom
might be mentioned, the commission
form could be secured for Redwood
with little effort.

WEISS WINS FOR DULUTH.

Anton C. Weiss, assisted by Still
man Bingham, has won notable vic
tory for the city of Duluth.
It's a long time since Duluth be-
gan talking about the commission
form of government.
Reform is always proceeded by
talk, that is agitation. In this pre-
paratory campaign The Herald play
ed strong part.
Then sentiment, crystalized. There
arose a real demand for a change of
government. The voters were not
sure.
The Herald assumed the task of
convincing them.
1t succeeded.
The commission form of govern
ment, being liberal, giving much
power into the hands of the people,
was opposed by the interests. 1t has
always been opposed by the agen-
cies hostile to the public good.
Mr.. Weiss, splendidly assisted by
Mr.. Bingham, set about fighting for
the people. They waged great
battle.
At the election last week they tri-
umphed.

THE sOLACE OF A PIPE.

BILE for the following:
I've tried 'em all, Old Timer. meersehaum and

even tackled the hookah-but laid 'em all away;
For you are the best. Old Timer, ugly and black
and broke,
And know when give you the filing I'm sure

your cost was probably nickel-it isn't your
way to brag,
But sure you're as good as your brother with the
big price marked ON the tag.
Then here's to you. Old Timer, for know you're
broke just right
I'll give you one more fillinE-we'n burn it and
say good night
Old Time was to Mr.. Dean cob

To you it may be something else.
To me its a twenty-five cent imi-
tation briar and imitation cloudy
amber affair, that reeks.

ficult to defend when one throws
away prejudice,-and memory. Those
who have never smoked have no da-

probability will continue to be smok-
ed for great many years.
Friend in time of trouble" that
explains part Of the defence.
There is no halo of romance about
cigar and still less about a cigar
cite, but the witchery of poetry
sweetens the cloudy pipe.
1t has been said that the pipe
induces reflection. This may be true,
we do not know, but we know it is
the father of dreams.
The delights of by-gone years, the
loves and memories and sweetly sad
moments deeply treasured, lie fast
asleep in the old briar pipe. Fill it,
touch match and the days live again
in the smoke wreaths and out of the
tangle of things that were, are born
hopes and aspirations and renewed
confidence.
1t may be wrong to smoke but it
is delightful to dream.

THE HAVE BEEN PRESIDENTS.

With a rapidly accumulating crop
of able bodied "have been president"
the question of their disposition be-
comes serious.
There was a time when a former
president was more or less of Curl
osity, and could be exhibited on the
lecture platform and elsewhere to
considerable financial advantage.
Now they are so numerous and are
fallen upon such hard lines they are
much put to it to make living for
themselves.
So grimly does the wolf stalk at
their sides that the kindest hearted
man in the world, Expatriated Car
neige, is planning on pensioning
them. twenty-five thousand bones
year should look good to even a
former president.
But is the plan feasible?

And the sun shone bright and cheerily
Right gaily rang the hounds deep bay;
And the wind blew crisp and merTily.
