INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural do
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
On new power-that is the inspira-
ton OF the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence OF
the scene-that Is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t Is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour In contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with It's power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article Of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists: their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor OF agricul.
ture where nature is parading In her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod.
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blus1-
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre In the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes Cot
ton-nature's capitalist--often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t Is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
1t Is also we'll to remember that there
Is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at county fair.

SANDSTONE BOY DROWNED

For the second time this year,
the people of Sandstone were
shocked by the news of the acct
dental drowning of a Sandstone
boy, when on Tuesday afternoon
word was flashed around town
that little Edwin Edstrom, one of
the twin sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Edstrom, had been drown
ed that afternoon while visiting
relatives at Cambridge.
The twins had been visiting for
several days at Braham and on
Tuesday went to Cambridge for
a short visit at the home Of V.
Soderman four miles from town,
before returning home. They
were warned to stay away from
the river, but it was a very warm
day and the cooling water was
too much of temptation. AL
bert evidently went beyond his
depth when the swift current be-
gan to carry him away and he
called for help. Edwin went
heroicly to his assistance and
both were struggling in the
water when help arrived, but by
the time Albert was drawn into
the boat Edwin had gone down
for the last time.
A hired man dove for the body,
but he came from a hot field
and was taken with cramps and
narrowly missed the same fate.
Edwin was nine years old last
January, and in giving his life to
save his twin brother he made
the biggest sacrifice possible, and
showed as much bravery as any
soldier. 1t is impossible for us to
give him proper honor in this
world, but He who notices the
sparrow's fall will surely give
due honor to such a little I'M
crowned hero.
He was a bright and lovable
little fellow, and his last noble
sacrifice will always keep his
memory green.
His father accompanied the re-
mains home yesterday and the
funeral was conducted from
the house at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, Rev. Parish officiating,
and the little white coffin was
literally buried with flowers,
the last tokens of respect and
honor from sorrowing friends.
Among those from out of town
who attended the funeral were
Mary Laurentzen, of Minneapolis,
Hulda Soderman of Cambridge,
Mrs. Claus Johnson of Cam
bridge, John Edstrom and son OF
Duluth.
The bereaved family have the
sincere sympathy of the entire
community. Pine County Courier,

GERMANS ALIVE
TO SERIOUSNESS OF
GASOLINE BLOCKADE

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, June i0.-The cutting off OF
petroleum imports into Germany
through the war has caused a mark
ed revival Of activity in the domestic
petroleum industry. The only oil dis
trict Of any importance in Germany
lies in the Lueneburg Heath to the
east of Hamburg, where exploitation
began in earnest about 25 years ago.
A considerable fever of oil specula-
ton arose at that time, and for a
time not less than % companies were
in existence.
The oil found in the Lueneburu
Heath Is mostly Of low rade, suited
better for lubricating than for iIlumt-
mating purposes. This fact is reflect
ed strongly in the German statistics
of production. While the product IN
Of Illuminating oil dropped from 27.f90
tons in 1908 to $1,000 tons in 1912, Tie
production Of lubricating Oil was more
than doubled in the same time, rising
from $500 to 136.500 tons. During
the same period the production Of
bensine rose from 94,1O0 to 10000
tons. The oil industry on the Luene-
burg Heath has a good technical
equipment. Among other things 1t is
mentioned that the tanks there have
a capacity Of 10000 tons
