MRS. GRABOW DIES

The people of this community were
grieved to hear last Sunday of the
death Of Mrs. Justina Grabow who
passed away at ST. Mary's hospital
at Rochester Saturday evening.
Mrs Grabow was operated upon
two weeks ago and up to the evening
of her death, she was apparently
getting along splendidly. Saturday
afternoon, ten days after the opera
ton, she was able to leave her bed
and was wheeled to the room of her
grand daughter, Miss Elvira Grabow,
who was operated upon last Thurs
day for appendicitis. Saturday even
ing she was taken with sinking spells
and passed away. She was 70 years
old last January.
Funeral services were held at the
German M. E. church Wednesday
forenoon. Rev. A. F. w. Krienke,
pastor Of the church, preached in
the German language and Rev. H.
A. Pottoff of LeSeuer, a former
pastor and an old friend of the de-
ceased, delivered an eulogy in Eng.
lish. The floral offerings were mag
nifcent. A very large crowd of
friends and acquaintance attended
the services. Interment was made
in the Eden Methodist cemetery.

of interest to note the educational ad-
vantages found in this county. For
ten years Redwood county held her
place at the head of the list as the
county that received the greatest
amount of state aid for her rural

the employing of graduate teachers

Jewelry An Index.

Jewelry is always an index to good
times. The diamond market W II show
panic years as well as the quotations
on iron and steel We may have a
sentimental pleasure, therefore, in
contemplating the expenditure of
$500, 100000 for gewgaws that we
could get along without.
Next in order of our luxuries come
automobiles, for which we spend half
billion every year
Then follows confectionery, which
sets US back S2O0,O00,OOO every year,
with soft drinks crowding it for place,
the latter totaling $4,000, 900. For
millinery, that all women should be
thankful for, there is deficit, mainly
in the male pocketbook, of 100000, 900.
Much For Tea And Coffee.
Tea and coffee, in which the sexes
share alike, come to 100000, 900,
while patent medicine follow them
closely as beverages with record of
$80,000OOO.
Chewing gum pixies along, a bad

All told, these Injuries, if distrib-
uted equitably among the 100000
inhabitants of continental America,
would represent $50 per person, or
$3.50 year for family of five. AS
every family knows, this average is
not maintained.
Possibly it might be, though, if our
land were worked for all it is worth
Crops Double In Value.
Since 1899 our annual crops have
more than doubled in value. That
sounds tremendous. Yet the heights,
or depths of prosperity, whichever
one wishes, have by no means been
reached.
Suppose that, instead of rejoicing
over ten billions of new spending
money, we should have twenty. There
is no reason why we shouldn't, with
out increasing ouy acreage, either.
If our farmers could raise as much
as Germany's, our output would just
about be doubled.
About twenty years ago, Germany's
agriculture was in about the same
state as our own. Returns were good,
but nothing like what they should
have been. Then the government took
hold of the situation, and began a
course of instruction, which taught
the value of crop rotation.
Since which time the crops of Ger
many have on the average, increased
so per cent in value.
A similar increase in value of our
own crops would mean that this year
$18,O00,000,OQ0 would be taken out of
the ground, which would be more than
one-third of Germany's entire wealth.

There was an increase in the total

Poultry Worth $75O,00O,000
What with cotton, rice, tobacco and
apples, the value of the chief staples
will reach we'll over S5,0O0,0O0,OOO.
Other farm products are in flourish

represents $750,0OO,0OO, the magni-
tude of our agricultural interests, and
the part they play in distributing
prosperity throughout the commun-
ity, may well be appreciated.

ducing anything like as much as the
farmers of the Fatherland. Potatoes
were high last year, and we had to
import them, at big prices. This
year, the crop is the biggest ever
known-it may reach 400,000,000
bushels. Now our 10-year average
for potatoes, per acre, has been 92.7
bushels, while Germans average has

occasion the judge entered his mare at
