AUTOMOBILE NOW
COMING INTO POPULAR FAVOR
Its Advantages Are Beginning to Be Recog
nized-Five Years Ago It Was Looked
Upon as an Expensive Toy-Ad-
mirably Adapted to City Needs.

plication of the electric pleasure car is
substitute for legs. 1t is strictly a con-
venience and should be designed with ref
erence thereto. The design of an electric
vehicle for mileage in excess of what is
actually required for it's true aDplica ton
Is simply wasted and a positive disad-
vantage to the user.
Renders Sufficient Mileage.
The efficient and practical use OF the
electric automobile of today does not call
for anything more than the proper COM
promise of power, weight and speed with
the necessary convenience in fittings. The
popular supposition of the past that any
one of these elements has no limit OF
! desirability is entirely. erroneous. What
is desirable is the proper combination OF
the elements cited. The same holds true
of Il battleship or any efficient piece OF
machinery. The electric automobile OF
today. made by any up-to-date electric
manufacturer. viii render an em!nently
satisfactory mileage.
That the electric automobile is toe
effeminate is another erroneous concep-
ton, probably largely due to the fact
that the gasoline motor car has beer
! in volume more widely and extensively
advertised and in special applications has
more spectacularly appealed to the male
members OF the family. thereby leaving
the electric TO the 1e!nale members oiIS
and becoming the subject OF exclusive
sewing circle gossip. AS matter o,
fact, the writer knows from personal con
tact and close association with the electric
vehicle business since l9G. that the elec.
trio car is now rapidly becoming the
family car Many business men are
now running them, they have learned
to recognize their supreme advantage OF
convenience and utility in the saving oil

1t is clean, noiseless, speedy easy to

1t removes the necessity of a chauf-

The electric is the ultimate city car.

BETTER CROWDS SHOULD
ATTEND THE MISSION

More OF the Catholics should get
out and attend the missions at st.
Niehael's. Fair crowds have been al
tending each night but still there is
plenty OF room for more. Father Mol
an is the best missionary that has
ever been here and he Is barring some
of the truths OF the Catholic faith in
a most enlightening manner
His sermons and short talks are In
struetive to Catholics as well as
non-catholies and they would be
pleased to have as many non-catho-
lies attend these services rs would
care to do so. Catholics should invite
their non-catholic friends.
Masses are held every morning at
e:so and $3.50 in the morning. Ben
cdiction is given every morning at
7:so. Instructions and sermon is
given at each service.

j. George Jeppersen, farmer liv-

met death from self-inflicted gun
wound last Sunday afternoon. 1t is
felt by all who know the circumstances
that the shooting was accidental in
asmuch as Mr.. Jeppersen was in for

Mrs. Jeppersen discovered smoke aris-
ing from the edge Of a grove near
the house and going to ascertain the
cause, found her husband dead with

MY CREED

I believe that the country,
which God made, is more beau
tiful than the city, which man
made; that life out of doors and
in touch with the earth is the
natural life of man. I believe
that work is work wherever we
find it, but that work with nat
ure is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machin-
cry. l believe that the dignity
of labor depends not on what
you do, but how you do it; that
opportunity comes to boy on
the farm as often as to boy
in the city; that life is larger
and freer and happier on the
farm than in the town; that my
success depends not upon my To-
cation, but upon myself
upon my dreams, but upon what
/ actually do-not upon luck,
but upon pluck. l believe in
working when you work, and in
playing when you play, and in
giving and demanding square
deal in every act of life.-Ed-
win Grover.

That Redwood County promises to

seems to be inevitable. Last Friday
night there arrived in Redwood Falls,
Mr.. Louis A. Buchner and Mr.. w.
j. Brown from Mora, Minnesota, Pres
ident and Secretary of the Kanabec
County Holstein Club. They were ac-
companied by two Government Ex-
perts, Warren B. Thurston and F. H.
Scribner, both under the employ by
the Dairy Division Bureau Of Animal
Industry in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The latter two
gentlemen were furnished by the Gov
ernment to help the former two
gentlemen make a selection Of their
first consignment Of Registered Hol-
stems for the club, which is very ac-
tive in undertaking to develop great
Holstein center in Kanabec County,
similar to the center now established
around Mortified, Minnesota, which
has been so an important a factor
in the development Of Rice County
that it has caused the bank deposits
in the City of Northfield to grow from
a very nominal amount to over $2,-
100000, and has caused Mortified
to be one Of the best advertisements
Of the smaller cities in the State Of
Minnesota, owing to the fact that pur-
chasers of Holstein Cattle not only
come from every state in the Union,
but from all over the world.
Decided on Redwood Stock
The Kanabec County Club have been
investigating through correspondence
and by personal inspection, herds in
the various parts Of Minnesota and
other states, and after careful con-
sideration of the matter, decided to
make their first purchase in Redwood
County. They took into considera-
tion not only the type of cattle, but
the healthy conditions surrounding
the herd, and as they were buying
foundation stock, for Kanabec County,
they wanted animals from the very
best producing families. They visited
three Of the pure bred herds in Red
wood County owned by Hiram Kleck-
ner, eight miles south of Redwood
Falls, the Nels Christensen herd, and
the Sears & Gold herds near Wabas-
so. They purchased of Mr.. Chrigten-
