Down from Blooming Valley

G. K. Mogen, of Blooming Val
ley, one of the enterprising and
successful farmers Of the west
end, was in town last Saturday.
Mr.. Mogen for some years past
has been convinced Of the
necessity of diversified farm
ing, and instead of trusting all
to precarious wheat raising, has
been putting live stock on his
farm. and for a number Of years
he has been coming out with a
surplus at the close of the year
even though the crop has been
short. Mr.. Mogen was honored
at the recent meeting of the
democratic proposal committee
with a nomination to the leglsla-
ture. While Grant county
hasn't been sending democrats
to the legislature, nevertheless
if anything like this should hap
pen the county would have at
Pierre safe, level headed man
in c. K. Mogen.

veblen Road May Build on south

The lively little town of Web
len, which only gained a railroad
last fall when the farmers line
from Veblen to Fairmount, N.
D.. vas completed, now has fur
ther ambitions, and hopes to Sc
cure a.railroad to the southwest.
Talk of north and south road
from Milbank to q North Dakota
point has caused the Veblen
boosters to inquire why should
not the Paramount & Veblen road
be extended to the southwark to
a junction with the Milwaukee,
probably at Milbank? The Web
len people contend the extension
from Veblen would open some
new territory and could be built
cheaper than an entire new route
from Milbank to North Dakota,
and as the machine shops and
other terminal facilities are al
ready at Veblen, 1t would be
very easy to build the extension
from there.

who last week moved into his
new store adjoining the Herald
Advance office on the north,
invites the public to call and see
him in his new quarters. He
handles groceries only, and he
has had the building erected ex
pressly for this business, and
had it fitted and furnished with
fine new show cases, spice and
fruit drawers and fixtures of the
latest and best. The fine front
in the building, the upper part
being of glass, gives the room a
splendid light, and all the other
fixtures and arrangements are
such as to make the store a
model place for the grocery
business. Mr.. Adler will be
glad to have you drop in and see
him in his new quarters.

Gravity Of . Spinning Tor.

A spinning top is kept from falling
because OF the speed with which 1t re-
wolves. The attraction OF gravitation
Is temporarily overcome by the centrif-
ugal force produced by the rotation OF
the top when it Is spun. Each part
Of the top is subject to the same cen
trtfugal force as each other part at the
same distance from the axis OF rota-
ton and to no greater force. 30 that
there Is no cause for the top being
pulled In any particular direction BY
the force Of gravity. As soon as the
centrifugal force begins to lessen be-
cause Of lessening speed Of rotation the
attraction OF gravity begins to be ex-
erted again and the top begins to wob-
ble When the spinning motion di.
minishes to such an extent that the
attraction Of gra vitation becomes great
er than the centrifugal force the top
falls to one side.

Cripple Wins Contest
Ainnesota Boy Secures Prize Corn by
Wosklag on Hands and Knees

Weeklng on Hands and Knees
At the school officers meeting
held last Thursday in the court
room, some one read an article
from the Minneapolis Journal in
re ference to the boys corn con-
test In Minnesota, one ofthe win
ners otprize being a cripple, and
su9geoted that the item be pub.

stimulAnt to the boys in this
county. asserting that if one
handicapped as Warren Simpson

facult1gs and,powers accomplish.
Following is the story:

hoys md girls for the best acre
production of corn, the state
winner of which was Lynn Har-
riso1 of Excelsior, is Warren
Simpson of Northfield, Dakota
county winner of first prize in
the central division. The con-
test WAS also notable from the
fact that seven girls were among
the fOrty-six winners of a con :
test in which far more boys than
girls competed. One of these
girls, Edna Grace Ryther of
Stewartville, Olmsted county,
was first in the southern division
The victory of Young Simpson
was a. demonstration of will and
determination overcoming a
greatsnatural handicap, for the
boy is cripple, having almost
lost the use of his legs from an
attack of infantile paralysis. To
cultivate his prize acre he had to
crawl among the rows of corn on
his hands and knees. A younger
brother of Warren Simpson, al
SO afflicted with the same disease
assists in the work ard direction
of an sO.acre farm which the two
boys own at Northtield. In addi.
ton to their heav.y corn yield,
the Simpson boys have raised a
nu nl3er OF prize winning cattle
and sheep. This years winner
also secured a place in the same
contest last year. The prize acre
this year yielded 102 s bushels
field measure and 1859 bushels
after it had been dried according
to the rules Of the competition as
laid down by the agricultural ex-
tension division of the Uniyersi-
ty Of Minnesota.
