A RISEN LORD

TN your heart has Christ risen!
Sublimer figure the world has
Il never seen than this Christ cru
CITED into the tomb and radiantly risen
on the third day.
Image the figure of this tortured
Savior! Spotless, human or divine,
marching strongly and forward, seeing
his way as birds their trackless way,
far looking, sunshine illumined despite
the shadow of the terrible cross, des-
perately resolved, moving on earth,
crowned in eternity.
Master the thought of this Man.
Can you take it into your heart, give
it form and substance there, live it out
again, translated into terms of every
day life?
Else of what value is this dying God
to you?
ambition, avarice and pride,
These throng and thrall the hearts of
men,
These plat the thorns and pierce the
side
Of him whom in our hearts again is
spit upon and crucified."

NEEDED, A COUNTY AGRICULT
URALIST

~ EDWOOD county needs county
TX agriculturalist.
i y This is no reflection upon the
farmers of this county, who doubtless
know as much about farming as any
set of farmers in the world.
So excellent has been their work
that they have raised the value OF land
in this county from $35 to $50 and
more without struggle. This is
very high compliment to their ability,
perseverance and industry.
Still the county needs the agricult-
uralist.
Yes, and there is plenty of work for
such man to do.
Not that he would take the agricult-
| ural system of the county and turn 1t
up side down, with the calm statement
that the work that has been done here
has been all wrong.
| Should he attempt that he would
be promptly ridden out of Redwood on
a rail and properly So.
| But there is no man who knows all
there is to know about farming, or
| about his own farm. A farm is more
highly complex than any other instl-
tuition in the world, more scientific,
more elaborate, more painstaking,
more exacting and when properly lab
ored with giving a very high return
on the investment.
If any expert, that is any man en-
bowed by nature and training to work
the soil, were to come to Redwood ne
would find many farmers needing as
sistance and willing to accept instruc-
ton and advice. He could show in in
dividual cases how the returns from
the farm could be increased by the
proper rotation and introduction of
stock raising.
So open arms to the county agri-
culturalist
If you don't need him, well and good
In that case chase him off the farm.
If you do need him heed what he has
to say and watch for increased re-
turns.
If you are not sure of him listen
and if you hear anything that sounds
good grab it and don't forget that it
is coming to you mighty cheaply.

FRICTION HAS FADED AWAY

FRICTION in the senate, tucking
II it's head under its wing, has
1 gone to sleep. Nay, is it not
something more somnalent? Let US
hope so.
Friction is not conducive to good
legislation, is an expensive luxury to
the people and one that they can very
we'll do without.
]. A. A. Burnquist, as president of
the senate, has gone long way to-
ward slowing friction away. Yet in
this process he has surrendered no
principle. AS in the House he has
stood firmly for the principle advo-
Gated by him during the campaign and
much of good legislation is resulting
from the senate.
The early conflict, at the threshold
of the opening Of the senate, was tax
en- as prognostic of much strife during
the term. Prognosticators are pro-
verbally liars and the truth was not
in them last December. Then it was
urged by the leaders of the combine
that there was nothing personal in the
matter so far as Burnquist was con-
cerned and later developments indicate
that this was not an idle statement.
Without going into the record of
the senate, considered by all observers
to be thus far good, it is not too much
to say at this time that Lieutenant
Governor Burnquist has made good.
He has accomplished this without
hanging out any sign of political am
bition, nay has accomplished it per-
haps because he did not hang out any
such sign, because he has repeatedly
said he has no such sign in the max
ing, has expressed himself as satisfied
with the place he now holds, though he
has made no statement with reference
to his future, politically.
But if he should harbor desires to
return to the place he now holds there
is little chance of any opposition with
in the party, such is the tribute paid
him by observers of politics in this
state

THAT GRAIN INVESTIG ALTON

7 YAVE the farmers of this great
n state been saved?
4. = There was an impression "a
broad that there was deep laid con-
spiracy to rob them.
That started an investigation, first
in the house, resolution fathered indir-
ectly by George Lotus and put in the
mouth of C. NJ Bendixen. James
Manahan was retained as attorney.
Developed that Lotus was conduct
ing a rival institution and that there
were reports indicating that his con-
Germ was not above reproach.
That brought in the S. d. Works
resolution in the senate.
So the two committees went at it,
working independently and each anx-
ious to discover the real truth. No
thing to indicate that either was seek
ing to get anybody in hole.
There has been criticism of each
committee.
Neither has developed much. The
house committee has shown that there
were one or two practices in the cham
Der of commerce that were not con-
formable to best business conditions
Also it developed that the managers
of the chambers have been doing what

LULLABY

All. little one. you're tired of play,
Sleeps fingers rest upon your brow
You've been woman all the day,
You'd be baby now;
Oh baby, my baby!
You'd be my baby now.
Perhaps you had forgotten me
Because the daisies were so white,
But now you come to mother knee,
My little babe tonight;
Oh, baby, my baby!
My baby every night.
Tomorrow when the suns awake
You'll seek your fiowery fields again,
But night shall fall and for my sake
You'll be baby then;
Oh, baby, my baby!
My little baby then.
And you'll grow big and love will call,
Happen you'll leave me for your man,
And night-times when the shadows tall
I'll greet as mothers can;
Oh baby, my baby!
AS only mothers can.
And now, my little heart of May,
Lie closely, sleep is on your brow,
You've been woman all the day,
You'd be my baby now:
Oh baby, My baby;
My little baby now.

AUTO CLUB BOOK PRAISED
DIR. A. AslesOn Receives Letter from
Chicago Firm Praising Book
Of Views

When the salesman of the ]. H
Stouffer Company was in Redwood
Falls recently he expressed great ad-
miration for the book of views gotten
out by the Redwood County Auto Club
When he left he carried one away with
him and later sent it to his firm in
Chicago.
Last week A. Asleson received a
letter from the firm in which real ap-
sreciation of the books beauty is ex-
pressed. The letter said in part:
Housed up, as we are in Chicago
your booklet makes US hunger for the
beauties of Nature and the genuine
pleasures to be had from such associa-
tons.
"Even your County Jail makes us
feel as though we should like to live
in Jail all the time, if such home is
as pleasant as your Jail looks to be
We have very much enjoyed looking
through your booklet and wish that
we might see the real things"
Mr.. Asleson was the real instrum.
ent in the production of the little
booklet; in planning and perfecting it
and giving it the true merit which il
possesses. Therefore he greatly ap.
preciates this bit of praise, as does
The Gazette which did the mechani.
cal work of its production.

down three heavy oak doors, vault
over large mahogany desk, jerk
Woodrow's hand out Of his trousers
pocket, and shake it vigorously. Thus
you will get your interview and also
taste Of the open door policy at the
White House.
Regrets He Can See No Office Seekers
"The White House door will always
be open," he sang in Trenton, and in
deep barytone voice.
A few days after he occupied one
fifth of a carrage-the rest of it being
amply filled by the well developed
physique of William H. Taft-in riding
down Pennsylvania avenue. Til n
Woodrow carefully tested the tuning
fork, cleared his throat thunderously
three times, and announced in Wag-
merriam manner-which means noise
and clamor and clangor:
"The President regrets that he can
see no Office seekers" and about $50
words more to that effect.
There are about one hundred million
people in this extravagant country,
and about fifty million who want gov
eminent jobs. And when they heard
that open door song from Trenton,
they wore out their own door mats
practicing the proper gait to use in
Looping through the front door of the
White House like dusty antelopes.
When they heard the second song
about the door, they sat down by the
old kitchen stove, ordered gallon of
chloroform liniment and begged their
next of kin to rub their stiff and stub
born motion muscles.
Open Door Stuff Gilded Dream
1t was a sad blow, it sounded fine, a
gilded dream, that stuff about the
open door. Every man thought that
all he had to do was to rush through
the iron gates, kick a hole in the
swinging doors, wade through the lux
urious rags and say, Hello, Woody"
The White House open door policy
is great stuff. The door opens if you
know how to open it. But not many
of us do. You have to be a Houdini
or an Ali Bahia to turn the trick. And
you have to have an utter disregard
and unconcern for walking over the
dead body of Joe-and, before you get
Joe's body dead, you are confronted
with the job of beating up fine,
deepchested, outstanding, red-headed
young Irishman.
Are there any volunteers? A long
pause.-James Hay, Jr.

WOODROW's OPEN DOOR POLICY

81 shall always keep the door of the
White House open. Everybody can
come to see the President. There has
been too much of this thing Of people
talking behind their hands and whis-
pering."
Who said this? I'll bite, Mr.. Bones,
who did say it? Woodrow Wilson said
it. Is he keeping the White House
door open? Being an habitual bitter,
Mr.. Bones, is he keeping it open? He
is not.
If you wish to see the President of
the United States you can do so if you
are expert in breaking up Yale locks,
saving through bars of iron, and
guessing the combination of massive
safes. You can get into the White
House if you fight five fast rounds
with each member of the cabinet, all
the secret service men stationed in
the White House grounds and all the
policemen and knock them as fiat as a
scrambled egg. After that all you
have to do is to step swiftly and reso-
lutely over the dead body of Private
Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty, kick

A FINE MEMORIAL
Being Erected by Ex-Gov. John A. Mead
in Rutland Cemetery.

Rutland, Aug. ls.--A work which com.
memorates the planting of civilization in
the otter creek valley will be consum-
mated this week in the erection for ex-
Gov. John A. Mead Of this city in Ever
green cemetery of a sarcophagus-lik like
monument, which with the markers, cost
about $4,000. The granite memorial was
cut at Montpelier, the contract having
been awarded to Kinsman & Mills of
this city. There is said to be no stone
of its kind larger than the Mead monu-
ment nearer than its duplicate at Forty
Fort cemetery at Wilkes Barre, Pa. The
greatest base measurement of the monu-
ment is l6 feet, while the height is about
10 feet.
Ex-Governor Mead has gathered to-
gether the remains of his ancestors rs
far back as Col James Mead, first white
settler in Otter creek valley. and has
buried them in the family lot where
the memorial is being erected. Twelve
OF these bodies were moved. most of
them having been in the old West Rut-
land cemetery. The old slabs taken
from the first graves of Col. James Mead
and his wife, Mercy, have been placed
fiat over the mounds Of their new graves.
He was a colonel of the third Vermont
colonial regiment and was a member
OF the first Vermont legislature. Among
other remains moved were those OF Seth
Gorham, Revolutionary soldier, and
Eli Gorham, a soldier Of the war Of 1912.
Col James Mead's grave, the Oldest, was
made in 1904.
