no high-brow reformer, but merely a
woman interested in the welfare of
the youth and maidens of our land.
The six sex-mad men he mentions
are not the products of a closed red
light district, but are products of an
open town. We cannot have a seq
regated district without our youth
having a knowledge Of it. If it is
there with our consent, we have no
one but ourselves to blame if our
youth patronize it. We cannot say
we wish it there, but you must not
visit it. We teach our youth not to
lie or steal, but we do not warn them
against the strongest instinct of their
natures.
Emerson says: ''The preservation
of the species is a point of such ne
cessity that nature has secured it at
all hazards by immensely overlooking
the passions at the risk of perpetual
crime and disorder"
Our youth have this wonderful in
stinct to control and guide into right
living. We tempt him with a segre-
gated district where vice is rampant.

to make madmen of our youth. We

boosters and business men. He has pros

under his feet, always keeping in action
either for himself or for the general good of
the community. He is a charter member of
the Commercial Club and one of the hardest
workers among the members of that organ

last year was vice-president of the society.
He also has served with the fire department
for many years and next year will be eligi-
BILE for retirement on the honorary role.
Mr.. Schoenhoff was born on a farm in
Germany on Oct. g. 1863 When II years of
age he came to the United States with his
mother, brother and two sisters, the family
settling on farm near Spring Hill, and re-
siding there seven years. The sisters still
live at that place but the brothers now both
reside in Sank Centre, Ben coming here in
the fall of 1891. For year he worked as
mason and plasterer and on his marriage
to Miss Katie Wulfekuhle established the N.
P. depot restaurant, which business was dis
continued when Mrs. Schoenhoff died eight
months after marriage. Mr.. Schoenhoff
then took the management of the old Ger
mania house (now the Commercial hoteD on
Third street which he conducted eight
months at which time he again acquired the
N. P. restaurant. On May 10, 1896, he was
married to Miss Anna Watcher and together
they started laundry business which they
conducted five years. Ten years ago Mr..
Schoenhoff purchased his present saloon
business on Main street to which he gave
personal management until this year when
he organized the firm of J. B. Schoenhoff &
Co., and to which he is now giving his bus
mess attentions. Mr.. Schoenhof started in
simply with the handling of potatoes, going
into the market for all the potatoes raised
in this community, but has received such
encouragement from the farmers and pro-
duce growers that next year the business
will be enlarged to include the handling of
all kinds of produce and for handling of

saw him depart from the city of his birth to
travel in other quarters for rs years, long
enough for him to become satisfied to re-
turn here and long enough to make him an
honorary member of the Comebacks.
In his travels Billy did not overlook many
corners of the United States and several
times he was compelled to take steamer to
satisfy his wanderlust He studied every
section of the country for real estate and
land possibilities. In his final decision for
location he paid his "old home town" the
compliment by locating here. Such was his
confidence that Billy devoted more than a
year travelling practically from house to
house in Iowa and Southern Minnesota lay
ing the foundation for the business which
two years ago he founded here. That the
foundation was we'll laid is attested by the
success which has been scored by the w. A.
Moore Land Co. Billy is the whole company
and in two years has worked up his business
so that he is unable to handle it alone and
is contemplating branching out. Since 10
eating in Sank Centre Mr. Moore has been
instrumental in bringing to the community
something over 20 new families, all of whom
have located on farms which they acquired
through him. All these newcomers are sat-
isfied citizens in their new home and are
meeting with farming success.
In selecting Sank Centre as his home and
dealing in real estate and lend as his bust
ness Mr.. Moore took departure from another
successful pursuit. Until 1910 he was one
of the most successful dentists of st. Paul,

THE MODEL STORE,
CLOTHING, SHOES

Rudolph E. Hansen and Edwin H. Hansen,
proprietors of The Model clothing and shoe
store, are perpetuating the memory of their
father in commercial circles of Sank Centre.
Hans Hansen was pioneer and one of the
most successful and progressive of the early
Sank Centre business men.
Both of the 'boys" were born and reared
in this city and received their education in
the public schools. Rudolph graduated from
the High School in 1898 but Ed. did not
finish the course. From their boyhood they
were prominent in social circles of the city.
Rudolph has been firm supporter of his
Alma Mater and for the last six years has
served as secretary of the School Board

For potted plants that must have

or set in box with a packing of moss
around them to encourage moisture.
Evaporation is rapid; if showers are
few, the plants will become stunted
from thirst; if too much rain, weeds
must not be allowed to choke the
plants.
All shrubby pot plants should be set
in a sheltered place, out of doors, with
good light, but some shade during the
hot season, where strong winds cannot
rack them.

THE HOUSE PLANTS
Rv 4. 3. poRNER.

In the potting of house plants you
can mix the proper soil yourself il
you know the needs of the different
plants. Take some old blue grass sod
and pile it up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form of decayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent of all kinds of soil for
potted plants. There are three kinds
of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties of blooming plants. Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well rotted manure and one part
sand if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foil
age plants.-Two parts loan, one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part
sand If soil is heavy.
For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part well rotted
manure, and sand to suit the texture
condition,
Use the finger test to learn if the
plants need water; when the soil
crumbles easily until dry it needs wa
ter; when it cakes readily there is too
much water; so do not give the plants
a little each day, but only water when
needed. Never use a nozzle on the
end Of hose in watering as it causes
the stream to pack the soil and injure
the foliage. \,

To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally and you will have
the blooms in the room as well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the ferns
in shady corner; a north window is a
good place.
Use as dry material only well rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half bushel of
fresh COW dung and if extra strength
be required add a couple of quarts of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa

An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most

Heaven on Earth.

Heaven consists in nothing else
than walking, abiding, resting in the
Divine presence. There are souls who
enter into this heaven before leaving
the body. If thou Delievest that thy
God, found, felt and rested in, is
heaven. why not, under the gracious
help which he vouchsafes to thee in
his son, begin at once to discipline
and qualify thy soul for this heaven
If this be thy chief good, why turn
away from it, as though it we're a
thing not to be desired? If it be the
very end of thy being, the only right,
good and blessed end, why postpone
thy qualification for it, as though it
were a bitter necessity? Suffer thy
soul. so noble in its origin, to be with
drawn from dust, noise, multitudes,
vain treasures and vain pleasure, to
find its sweetness and fullness in God.

Without Hurry.

Hurry is a great thief Of time. II

the present moment. Il steals from

because of some failure in the past
A great man is quoted as saying that
he was too busy ever to be in a hurry.
One who lived for some months in
the home Of a widely known Christian
leader and prolific worker said that
she had never known him to hurry eX-
cept when someone else had caused
the delay. And even in those cases
there was no hurried feeling" The
efficient life in Christ may be lived
without the strain of the wrong sort
Of haste. Our Lord himself often
urged an eager and immediate
haste" But there was no sense of
hurry in his life Let US live in the
present, though not for the present,

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. John FlELp.

Hardy bulbs should be planted as
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending out
bulbs much before the latter part
of September. Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house is rich loan mixed with sand.

tighten it.
Always choose a well-drained lo-
salty for your bulb-seed; If not nat
urally so, put at least six inches Of

shoes, old bones. and the like in the
bottom of the bed
Never take bulbs out of the package
The florist sends them in until you

leave them exposed to the light or

The bulb. Such bulbs are weakened,
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow well in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
number that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection of
kinds, as well as to the extremes of
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected

when their men come home. They
may bring back with them a taste
for French bread, strong coffee, chocO-

back with them from Algeria the taste
