THAT "HAYRACK EXPRESS

In this automobile age, with the
great abundance of swift moving,
velvet riding, pleasure and CONNER
cial conveyances, could you. ever
imagine the real sport and recreation
in .shayrack party" ride?
A very simple contrivance of mo-
dern and ancient farm craft, and still
so forsaken as pleasure outing
vehicle. In this seemingly mad rush
Of modern progress, have we forgot
ten the regular, good old-fashioned
way to have frolic?
Stop! Pause and Ponder, if you
will. Draw, nigh and list to how the
celebrated grads of Warren High
1911 entertain. With space to waste
in natures beautiful, spacious arena,
we held forth and we'll do we all
know that the evenings events will
be long remembered in most pleasant
reveries.
The old "grads" and their "play-
mates" met at an appointed hour on
Friday evening, but the fun didn't
really start until we had = taken our
places on the hayrack and the drivers
said "Gid-dap." There were two
racks heavily laden and eats galore.
To the amusement of all, we rambled
along and shortly drew up at the old
second Pembina crossing. After
crossing the Snake river, a halt was
made and soon the boys kindled two
large cracking fires, which beauti-
fully lit up the woods and cast our
long shadows grotesque-like back in
to the heavy brush growth.
With the blazes dancing lively, we
soon had our camp CRATES arranged
and coffee bubling, while at the other
fire, mellow sweet corn boiled and
boiled.
A treat and surprise it was indeed,
to all, the we'll prepared festival to
which we had been brought. And
right here we want to thank beyond
measure, Mrs. j. H. Bolton, Nell Seign
and Elmira Rudolf for their work
kindness and initiative in arranging
the affair and making it the success
it was
After the "eats" came games Of
our childhood days., not long past
and it was with enthusiasm, nimble.
ness, that all entered in. School day
songs were sung and even the page
number of different songs in our Ole
music reader were remembered
Here and there stood a trio, quartett'
or quintette roasting marshmallows
while an attempt at massacre" wa
made to bring about harmony il
some lately composed melody.
Then as the flames died down an
the woods darkened and only tn
bright embers were left, we smother
ed the Goals and proceeded back thr1
the woods to an opening, wher
awaiting us were the two hayrack
and the noble steeds.
The homeward ride was a merr,
one. What cared we for dust o
bumps? After all, tell us wherei
lies there more enjoyment than tn
: old bunch, camp fire, boiled cor
and hayrack ride.

your mother that you have sustained
your reputation and are worthy of
her teaching" was worth the price Of
admission. II like his reading-it
shows such strong personality" "He

rious things" "He interprets Riley as
we'll as the author himself" Prof.
Gates once said of him" ,"He is young

\ Such men as G. M. Warren, DR..
Dewey, DR.. Freeman, Prof Hobbs and

Entry List for -Four Breeds Ex-
Ceeds All Former Records.

The largest entry list ever received
by any State Fair cattle show in
America has been obtained by the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to II,
insuring one of the greatest exhibits
ever held anywhere. A stupendous
large number of animals expected.
Previous entry records have been
broken for Short Horn, Hereford, Red
Polled, and Ayrshire cattle. The Jer-
sey show is far larger than the one
of a. year ago. Other breeds barely
fall below previous marks. In all it
will be the largest combined showing
of beef and dairy cattle ever held any
where. Over 1,10O animals have been
entered.
Big Livestock Market.
No doubt the remarkable success
Of the cattle show this year is due
to the interest which breeders are
taking in the great public livestock
market, which it is the desire of the
fair to promote. Breeders have been
urged to attend the Minnesota State
Fair, because of the opportunity af.
forded of selling surplus stock to
! farmers in the Northwest. Farmers
have been urged to attend the fair to
buy this pure-bred stock to be used
IL grading up home herds.
! The Horse Show is to be remark
ably successful this year, for the
same reasons. Nearly twice as many
! local breeders have entered horses al

The Limit of Brutality

The British proposal to place
German prisoners of war on English
merchantmen in order to force
Germany to discontinue the sub
marine warfare is the most inhuman
plan conceived during the war. 1t
calls to mind to what extremes
thinking men have gone. 1t Is an
indication that law and order and
even common humanitarianlsm play
absolutely no part in the struggle
for victory.
Why should England stop with
the proposed plan? 1t is the Brit
ish idea that If the Germans destroy
English ships they willkill off their
own men by so doing, If the Ger
man prisoners are aboard the vessels.
That is not war. 1t is MIddle-Age
brutality. 1t is the last desperate
stand Of men bested at their own
game.
Why not use the German prison
ers as battle-line obstacles? Why
not place them, row upon row, in
the front of the English lines?
Why not make of the German pris-
oners verltable human breastworks,
behind which the English forces
might seek shelter during a battle?
The plan would be Just as fair as
noble and equally effective,

Plant SORGHUM Cane

Immense quantities CT syrup and
sorghum are used on the farm and
the 600 acres to be planted to sor.
ghdm are expected to produce TO-
oOO gallons. Thus practically will
be sufficient to supply the farm for
the year.
The immense acreage in corn,
oats and cowpeas Is being relied on
to feed the stock on the farm as
well as to produce a surplus for sale.
Thsre are between 800 and 400
head Of hogs, 200 cattle, 256 mules
and 81 horses on the farm that
must have grain. The feed bill
for these animals runs approximate
ly $500 a month, and the commis'
sion realized that feed must be
raised instead of purchased. With
the immense amount Of labor, the
fields will be worked to perfection.
The greater part Of the cultiva'
tion will be on the states property,
but 1900 acres urder cultivation
are on farms leased "a, the state.
On the Rice farm, owned by Capt.
X. r. Rice, the state will plant
500 acres OF cotton and on the
Heckatoo farm, owned by G. w.
Wiley, 500 acres will be sown to
cotton and 400 acres to corn.
These farms are worked on shares.
Last year corn and cotton were
planted almost exclusively.

The Same Old Things

The housewife, tired of the beast
ly grind, turned loose some
thoughts that were IN her mind
when her husband came from his
toll at night. She said the world
didn't use her right. "rm always
doing the same old chores, Pm al
ways sweeping the same old floors,
I'm always washing the same old
frocks, and darnIng holes in the
same old socks. I'm sick and tired
of this wretched life. There Is no
JOY for poor mans wife," The
wife of the rich man sighed and
said: "Gee whiz! A dame might
as well be dead. Pm always doing
my social chores, Pm always weari-
ed by stately bores, Pm always
choosing the proper gown, Pm al
ways motoring through the town.
Pm always doing the same old
things. / wish / had ten-foot
wings; I'd fly away to lonely cot,
and do a stunt with a coifeepot."
We all grow tired of the work we
do, and sigh and rant till the air is
blue. But 1t does no good, and it
bales no hay, and the wise man
chases such thoughts away. The
world improves with each passing
year because each man in his sphere
takes of his jacket and grins and
sings, and keeps on doing the same
old things.-Walt Mason.

Nothing but work;
Tiresome drudgeryl
Work used to be pleasure, but now a
few minutes effort leaves you weak, dis
couraged and irritable with feeling thaa
everything has gone wrong.
The liver and bowels are responsible
for this. >Ba@t-zss.
The symptoms are, heart palpitatiou,
faintness, suppressed, excessive or irreg-
ular periods, bad digestion, bearing
down pains in the side and back, nervous
weakness, poor appetite, costiveness.
Prickly Ash Bitters sweeps away these
troubles like magic, because it strikes at
the root of the disease-the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Women who take medicine for female
troubles that does not benefit these
organs are wasting money and valuable
time. The liver is diseased because the
stomach is unhealthy, and both have
produced a constipated habit. This
stoppage of healthy action in the liver
and bowels has filled the system with
impurities which have brought on irreg.
ularity in the female organs; 1t follows
therefore, that medicine which will
correct the liver, strengthen the stomach
and promote healthy bowel operations is
the remedy for menstrual difficulties.
The poor, tired, discouraged woman
who has suffered silently and so long
with the ailments of her sex soon feels
the strengthening and exhilarating in.
fuence of Prickly Ash Bitters. 1t does
its work thoroughly, beginning with the
stomach and extending its purifying and
stimulating influence to the liver and
bowels. When the stomach, liver and
bowels are active and working in har.
mony, there must be health and regu.
larity in the female organs. AS a result
of this improved condition the patient
takes a renewed interest in her house

return, the eyes are brighter, the COM
plexion clears, and before long she is
transformed into a bright, happy woman
with rosy cheeks and cheerful spirits.
