Keith, after the operation, unless
we'll, mira cles had happened and such
cases had got we'll before. So he said
nothing to the pretty young mother
who came day after day, wistful and
patient and always hopeful. OF late
she had begun to suspect that her
only boy, her stay that was to be in
her later widowhood, would never
leave the building save in a wheeled
chair. But she kept her fears to her
self, and nobody had had the heart
to tell her.
And Johnny wanted a football for
his Christmas present!
Well" said DR.. Keith gruffly, why
shouldn't he have one if he wants it?
Isn't there enough money to buy a
football? Why, I'll buy him one N.Y.
self. What sort should he have?
What are they made Of? It's a long
time since l was a boy myself" he
added, in self-excuse.
why, they're made of pigskin,
aren't they, doctor?' answered the
nurse. But you don't understand.
How can we let him have a football
and let his mother see him with it.,
and him lying there so helpless? 1t
would be inhuman, DOCTOR
Hum! I'll take the matter under
consideration" the doctor answered.
But a few minutes later he was ask
ing the head inferno, Where would
you go to buy a football?" He put
down the address in his memoran-
dunn book, and the inferno looked at
him in wonder, for football and DR..
Keith seemed somehow unassociable.

stronger than expectation, and Nurse
Blair would see to it that no gifts

out the paper-wrapped globe. The
clerk had blown it up for him, and,
not thinking of having it Debated
again, he had carried it thus for half
dozen blocks. If you think it best

the heap of packages that Uttered the

goodness, that's done! I've done my
duty by my family and remembered
every one that is likely to remember
me, and l have worn myself to fraz-

find things for people who already
have everything there is. Let me see, "
she continued, taking UP the packages
one by one and checking them off with
a smile that was half sad, and half
cynical.

She paused abruptly, pushed the gay
litter of costly trinkets away from her
with .disdainful hands, and with a sud
den rush of tears, buried her face in
her arms on the table.

Something He Wouldn't Break.

Something He Wouldn't Break.
Willie is a boy who is very much
blessed with aunts and uncles. These
use every opportunity to give him
presents. Last Christmas he received
so many toys that his parents, instead
of giving him toys, told him he could
carry out one of his cherished plans.
Actually" said his papa, you have
more things now than you can break
in a year."
"Oh, no, papa" said Willie with an
injured air; there's one present l
won't break"
We'll, Willie, I'm glad there's one.
Which is it?-the cast.iron train from
Uncle Jack?"
"Oh, no." cried Willie II can

Save Your Pennies

John D. Rockefeller, Millionaire, inti-
mated to some school teachers whom
he had taken out for ride in his auto
mobile that they might be as rich as
he if only they'd save their pennies.
1t was a sort of ''do-as-I-do" hint,
though he did not exactly say that was
how he made his pile.
Well, let's see. A billion dollars is
exactly 1000, ,OOO, 600, 900 pennies.
If one saved pennies at the rate of
about 3,340 cents minute, day and
night for seventy years, he could amass
a billion dollars in that way.
But, Of course, that's only straight
away addition, without regard to the
fact that Mr.. Rockfeller's early saved
pennies went to work for him long ago,
an6 saved him the trouble of lot of
that saving.-Ex

Adding Dahying to Farm Work

Judge Hemmi has returned from q
short trip to Sank Center and Long
Prairie, MINI. While there he made
inquiries in regard to farming condi-
tions among his friends and acqualnt-
ances and learned that many farmers
in that part Of Minnesota are adding
dairying to their other farm work. and
as q result were receiving checks Of
from $50 to 500 cash, which is a source
Of income they have not heretofore en-

500 WILL BUILD
BIG EXTENSION
120 Miles Of New Railroads Is An
nouncement Made by Presi-
dent Pennington

"We will build 81 miles upon the Am
brose line and extend the Plaza line to
the Missouri river" is the authoritative
statement of President Pennington of
the 500 railroad.
1t has been practically certainty
that the extensions mentioned would
be made but there has been considera-
BILE speculation as to how far the lines
would be extended. The statement of
President Pennington is the first auth
oritative announcement on the question.
With its ultimate plans secret but
generally believed in railroad circles
that it is heading for Spokane and the
Pacific coast, the 500 line will lay its
rails across the western border of North
Dakota early in 1913 and strike into the
rapidly developing territory of eastern
Montana.
President Pennington has authorized
the statement that the Ambrose line
will go west across Divide county, en-
terng Valley county, Mont, and that
there will be 81 miles of new road.
Pennington also said that the Plaza
line is to be extended west to the Mis-
souri, river.
This. although only about 40 miles of
new work, will carry the road along to
within short distance of the Montana
line and some distance south to where
the Ambrose extention will cross it and
the eventurl further extension of the
Plaza line would bring it into Montana
near Glendive, the most important
Northern Pacific point in eastern Mont

any means. The local editors and the
local storekeepers must use their in
fiuence to see that it is made perfect.
For the first time in our history,
editors that are intelligent, throughout
the country, will begin to receive fair
reward for the work that they do.
And to say that the minimum of profit
for the country editor of ability and
character will be $6 annually for every
subscriber to his newspaper is putting
it very mildly.
Boom the parcels post; make it better;
explain to your local storekeeper that
through it he can deliver goods direct.
He can be the agent of the manufact-
urer, who has no time to start a mail
order house, and no inclination to to it.
Let the storekeeper advertise through
the country newspapers what he can do.
Let the country newspapers impress
upon the manufacturers the fact that
they, the editor and country merchants
are the only statesmen in direct contact
with those that live in the country.
There is room for everybody in this
country that is to say, for everybody
who intends to be of any service. And
the mail order houses will live. But
their great monopoly will cease.
Do not overlook the fact that they,
being intelligent men, realize what we
have told you here. They lknow that
there is real danger for them in the
parcels post. They know that it makes
practically worthless their elaborate
system of freight delivery, which they
have built up through years. They
know that their system Of selling a
hundred pounds of goods at a time in
order to take advantage of low freight
rate now goes overheard.
If the merchants in the country, and
the local editors throughout the country,
understood the parcels post as we'll as
mail order houses understand it, they
would know that the parcels post will
prove to be the greatest blessing the
country editors and country store
keepers have ever known.
With the parcels post the local mer-
chants prosperity must increase at
once. And with the parcels post the
country editor will, for the first time,
come into his own. The parcels post
will give to the country merchant a
delivery system as good as that of the
greatest city department store, and to
the local editor full value for his i'm
portant services to the nation.

Parcel Post Now
In Working Order
Will Be Of Great Benefit to the Mer-
chants and Farmers-A Jolt
to Mail Order Houses

A New York paper makes the follow
ing remarks about the parcel post.
If the editors throughout the country
and the storekeeper throughout the
country will combine, if they will use
the parcels post instead of opposing it,
they will soon find themselves possess
sors Of new prosperity, and competi-
tors on real and successful scale
with the great mail order houses that
have done so much injury of late years
to the prosperity of the local merchant.
No mail order house can possibly sue
ceed in a community as well as the
local merchant, if the local merchant
plans his business as intelllgently and
economically as is done by his big dis
tant competitors.
Hitherto the great mail order houses
have had the advantage in buying and
distributing.
Manufacturers were compelled to
deal through jobbers and mail order
houses. They could not reach the con-
sumer direct.
But, with the parcels post and through
the parcels post, and with the aid of
the country newspaper and the country
storekeeper, manufacturers hereafter
will be able to deal direct with the con-
sumers, and the great mail order hous-
es will find that they have real COM
petition-an excellent thing for
everybody.
Remember that every storekeeper,
once tbs parcels post starts, is himself
the centre of parcels post zone, which
he will control.
1t will do the big mail order houses
no good to establish a department in
each state, since the merchant in his
own zone will be able to distribute his
goods under the most advantages pos
sible circumstances.
Let the merchant take all the business
he can get. And let the local editor
take all the advertising he can get
including that of the big mail order
houses, if they choose to advertise.
No man ever helped himself or helped
another by excluding business, or re-
fusing any man, big or little, fair
chance.
The editor has no right to refuse adj
vertising that is honest and proper.
No small storekeeper has a right to
ask that it be excluded.
The business Of the storekeeper is to
give better service than the mail order
house can give. And he can do that
now that the parcels post gives him the
power to deliver.
The parcels post is here. This news
paper has predicted always that it
would come soon. 1t is not perfect by

The facts and figures here presented
reveals a condition which should not go
unchallenged. 1t behooves the tax
paying public to seek remedy which
will relieve them from system of tax
alton which is unjust and burdensome,
the remedy needed is not particularly
local. 1t is state wide. Reform is
needed in state, county, city and
district. The men in Office are not
wholly to be blamed-we have many
good, able and conscientious men in
Office. It is the system that should be
attacked if permanent relief is wanted.
No permanent good will come from
