COMING OF SPRING

Another equinox date, when the sun
crosses the line, Is o near at hand.
March Il Is the date of the vernal equi'
nox when, as earth reaches the proper
position in It's orbit with regard to the
sun, the day and night are of equal
length everywhere. Three months ago
earth was in the position of leaning
the north pole away from the sun so
that the suns direct rays struck the
earth 23k degrees south Of the eQua-
tor Now the earth, still leaning as it
ever leans to the northward, has con
tinued it's circular route until the sun
Is at right angles to the earth's polar
direction and SO the suns rays strike
directly upon the equator. So the
sun rises and sets exactly in the due
east and west at this time. And as we
note the increase of daylight and re-
mark how "the days are getting long
er" we should recognize that in the
allwise laws of the Creator, the north
ern portion of Mother Earth is being
renewed and revived with life from our
great solar center, the sun. This is
the season of year when the ancients
expressed thanks In holiday and festi-
val because the sun had returned from
a far ~journey-not knowing that the
southern hemisphere of the earth had
been enjoying a warm fruitful summer
time during the frigid months in the
north. And, by the way, although we
possess greater knowledge of the won
derful workings of Gods physical man
than did these people of
many centuries past, would it not be
well to appreciate the approach of
with it's vernal beauties and
bounties. to a greater extent than we
do? Some of us are becoming so
'puffed up" and arrogant in our mod
ern knowledge and wealth that we fail
to note the magniicence and kindly
Of a gracious Father-the
supreme architect of the universe. Let
Us consider the ever recurring seasons
observe their beauty and effect, and
try to improve the opportunities afford.

ED. sTEUERWALD PRoSPERs

In a recent special edition the Vir-
ginia, Mimi, Enterprise had a write
up of the business men of that city.
Among these was E. J. Steuerwald,
formerly of Brookings and a brother of
Mrs. Mary Deeth of this city, and of
him the Enterprise says:
"Mr. Steuerwald has been in bust
ness in Virginia nearly four years and
during that time he has, by close ap
p~lication to his work, by courteous
and fair treatment of the people, built
up a trade and business that any man
might be proud to call his own, and he
says he has just started, which is more
than likely correct, as there seems to
be no limit to his energy and persever-
ance.
ut has not always been fair wind
and gentle breezes with Mr.. Steuer-
valid. Like other business men he has
seen his ups and downs, but like a
good business man, he has proited by
past experiences, the fair and the foul,
and he has at last got on solid footing,
located in a lively growing town, as
Virginia, a finely stocked store, which
is all his own, and hosts of friends
both in business affairs and socially.
by examining his diplomas you will
discover that Mr.. Steuerwald has done
some studying. He holds certificates
of efficiency from the celebrated Nc
Cormick Optical college of Chicago,
from that in South Bend, Indiana, and
from the state of Minnesota"

he said what everyone who is informed
must admit. 1.-THE great cities of the
world" he said, "are all the time af-
fording the means of their W de-
struction. 1t is not practicable to
bring up children in the big cities be-
cause of the moral dangers that exist
in them"
These words only point out the dan
gers; but DR.. Eliot does not leave us
without suggesting the need of seek
ing a remedy for existing evils. III
men of foresight and intelligence" he
continues, do not find the remedy, I
forsee a terrible physical and moral
d~egeneracy, already visible, within the
next 100 years, similar to that existing
in the English factory cities today. We
must struggle against it."
These facts. then, afford ample ex-
cuse for the many movements under
way to keep young people in the cou
try and on the farms. These move
ments demand the most enthusiastic
support and the wisest direction. To
the citizens of rural communities this
means that they must improve condi-
lions and increase the opportunities
and attractions of rural life until they
are such as to offset those now thought
to be afforded by the city.

ers. New-fangled laws are part the
cause of all this jumbled mess; no
party now records our vow, we're left
in dire distress. Glad candidates are
at our gates, they're anxious for our
votes; they come and go, march to ana
fro and think for them We'll pull our
coats. In ev'yr mail there Is no fail
of letters N or two to put us wise to
others lies, advising us what to do.
'Gainst taxes high there is a cry from
end to end of state, and petty graft
both fore and aft still runs at rapid
rate. So those who're in and wish to
win are putting up their fight; they
like their work and do not shirk, are
sure they're In the right. Now those
who're out, all cast about for issues
that are new and strive for place in
merry race just like the others do.
The Democrats throw UP their hats
and watch the scrap with glee; the
'moosers,' too are coming through;
look out for party three! Now what's
the use of rank abuse, we're neighbors,
man to man; let's think 1t DER, sup
press our roa and vote the best we
can. Remember all, this coming fall

we say from day to day may seal the
