st. Paul to Minneapolis under
such conditions.
This contention has aroused
the ire of several Minnesota
newspapers, notably two in
Fergus Falls, the Journal and the
Press. which agree in asserting
that country business men are not
topers, do not visit the Twin
Cities for the sake of drinking,
and will not discriminate against
this City, il it goes dry.
The assurance Is welcome, but
hardly necessary. Merchants
who buy goods in the Twin Cities
are on the average high grade
men, to whom a spree ia the city
does not appeal. We have no
fear that they will view Mime
apolis with disfavor because it
has banned the saloons. On the
contrary. we believe that for the
great majority of them Mime
apolis will be even more attrac-
tive than now If 1t drives the
saloons out.
| There is another aspect OF the
question, to which one Of our
Fergus Falls contemporaries calls
attention. That arises from the
fact that the University Of Min
nesota is in Minneapolis. Beyond
question the drying of this COM
munity would be the best possible
news to men who send their sons
to the University. This City's
great attractions as an educa.
tional center would individually
be greatly enhanced by the
passage of county prohibition.
| Moreover, the liquor interests
of st. Paul are so worried by tho
possibility that Minneapolis will
go dry and that st. Paul viii
QUICKLY be forced to follow suit
that they are contributing to the
wet campaign in this county.
Minneapolis has nothing X
fear from doing right. -Mpls

LARGE CROWD
AT THE + AIR

= The Pine County Fair II Pins
City last Thursday, Friday md
Saturday was d success In every
way. The only thing that
marred the celebration was the
bad weather the first day, Il
cleared up along in the afternoon,
but everything was called OH the
first day except the band concert
by the Brookpark Band at the
park in the evening. Brookpark
has q good band for 1 town of its
size and the fact that tho boys
have only been at II about 4 year.
The weather the second day, Or
Askov day, was all that could IN
expected, just like mid summer
weather. The crowd was { big
one, more than 500 being In
attendance on that day. The
new grand stand was packed
with people witnessing ths base
ball game, horne racing, autouao-
bile racing and aeroplane fliaht.

celled their engagement at the
Fair and Moose Lake was substi-

The exhibit buildings were alI
well filled, showing what Pine
County can produce. II Pine
City was not so far away and
Iunhandy to get at we are sure
many from here would exhibit.
The Askov Band furnished the
music on this day. The Brook.
park Band also played some, they
having remained over On account
Of not playing much the first day.
Our boys seemed to give rood
satisfaction and they all speak III
words of praise Of the Fair man
agement and the people Of Pine

treatment received at their hands.
| They were taken across the lake

and supper at Bede's hotel. Our
band boys will be glad to play 1T
Pine City again.
i The attendance on Saturday,
the last day Of the Fair. was not
SO large. The Mora Band of n

He Did Not Try It.

Nobody but boobs fight American style" said a man. as he got up from battered piano in one of the New York trotteries. "Over in Paree you go up to the guy you want to lick, put your right hand on his shoulder and snap your fingers a couple of times. When he raises his hand to punch, grab his wrist. Twist it to the right and back into him, holding on. All you gotta do then is bend and toss him over your shoulder" But sup pose something goes wrong?" said one of the songsters. Then there's the hat trick" said the speaker, impress sively. Try it on his hat brim That gets him sore and your hand is in a good place." Whereupon the song men guyed him. A minute later there entered a tall, wide-shouldered strang- CT. The man who had been to Paris spotted him. See that big guy? Just watch me put it over on him." While the big stranger looked on in amaze ment the piano player flicked him once on the shoulder. The air was tense as he licked again. Like flash the strangers right hand landed flush on the jaw, dropping the pianist like a sack of cement. Out of the uproar that followed came the cry from the singers: Co on, Joe! Try the hat trick"

SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE
Haunts of Man to Hear Birds Sweet Strains.

One of our great American natural ists once went to England in hope to hear the nightingale. Although he wandered for many miles over Surrey and Hampshire, his search was we'll nigh fruitless. Had he gone no farth- CT than the outskirts of London, he might have fared better. There are still certain spots in the suburbs to which the nightingale returns year af- ter year.
 One of them is Wimbledon Common, where the bird sings every spring, oft, en, however, quite unrecognized by those who hear him. It is commonly believed that because, as all the world knows, the nightingale sings by night, he keeps silence during the day. New CT was delusion more ill-founded. It might be in part accounted for if the bird were of a particularly timid and fearful nature. But he is not; in fact, nightingales are, as rule, least shy where they are most accustomed to mans presence.
 Not only does this much misunder- stood bird (some nightingales, of course, more than others) sing at in- tervals all day long, but he appears at times to take delight in singing to a crowd.

CARE QF BROOD SOW
 RETURNS MORE PIGS
MEANS DOLLARS AND CENTS TO FARMER'S PURSE-HEAL1HIE PIGS AND MORE FOOD FOR THE FAMILY.

It is mistake to fatten brood sows hefore farrowing time, as pigs are likely to be weak and often farrowed dead. The more common mistake IS to allow the SOW to rustic for her sell and farfow in a very thin condt- ton. AS result. if the litter is os fair size, milk will be pretty scarce Feed the SOW Iiberally so that she comes to Narrowing time in just fair round condition, supplying pleEty of muscle and tissue building material, and therefore not using corn alone for the ration. Equal parts of corn and wheat shorts, supplemented by one part of tanaage to eight or parts of corn and shorts mixture. made up in moderately thin sIop for 12 hours before feeding should make good ration
 few days before farrowing put the SOW in pen by herself and cut down the ration little and perhaps use little less corn. If the SOW Is young watch her carefully, and if she has a tendency to bite the pigs re- move them until they are all farrowed, and then give them back to her watch ing her behavior while doing so. The Led in the farrowing house should be dry and clean, of fine material and not too deep. It is in the deep beds that pigs get laid on. Wet beds soon chill the pigs, especially if they are born during bad weather
 As a rule the SOW will not care for much food for day or two after far rowing, but once in a while with old so"s they will feed very shortly. If the SOW is fairly thin and shows a good appetite do not withhold feed as It may cause feverish condition

which generally results in a SOW eat ing her pigs. With a large litter the SOW will need plenty Of feed to make milk. In getting them back on feed Ole must be guided by judgment Of conditions. With small filters, liberal feeding of sows, makes the pigs fatten rapidly and thus predisposes them to thumps. Skinned milk with wheat shorts and corn are excellent feed Where one has good pasture it is de. sirable 10 turn the SOW out with her litter when they are couple of weeks old
 If the SOW is to raise two filters a year it is desirable to keep her in good condition so that she can be bred again soon after weaning her first lit- ter. Do not make the common mis- take of using young sows each year. Save the tested old sows as they are generally better mothers and raise larger filters.

ORGANIZE FOR MARKETING
Extension Service of College of AqrI-
 culture Planning Work.

Cooperation, or in other words. or gan1zed marketing, is one of Arkansas greatest problems at the present time In many localities satisfactory produce is grown and can be produced in large quantities if profitable market can be secured and maintained Reputa- tion on any market can be made by catering to the demands of the mar ket and held by delivering the goods according to the standards required by that market. It is we'll known that high standards of efficiency can be reached by individuals, but as rule are not ordinarily attained, and a local organization must be resorted to to protect the individual or the con- munity.
 Market Extension Work.
 The Department of Horticulture of the Arkansas College of Agriculture has planned line of extension work in marketing. At each public meeting work in horticulture will be based primarily on standards of marketing NiiNil dte BUN Il IUIUcFGldl- ly for that community Approved methods of grading. packing and types of containers will be demonstrated and explained to each community. Plans of organizing small associations will be discussed and copy left with each individual grower in order to work out a local organization. Each community must cooperate in such as- sociatjons and see that it is affiliated with a stronger organization if neces- sary. Marketing standards will be discussed for apples, peaches, melons. onions, strawberries. raspberries, blachberries, cherries, cabbage, rad ishes and other horticultural products according to the community
