LIKES HOME ON ISLE OF PINES
T. r. Barnes, Former Sank Centre
Citizen, Enjoying His New Home
in the Tropics.
BY BART.

Santa Fe, Isle of Pines, Dec. ID.
Dear Editor Herald:
AS you have published my letter
telling of my first experiences of the
journey and impression of the Isle of
Pines it is only fair that I should al
so write how the change from a cold
climate suited me. From my boy
hood days till I came here the trop-
ical country always appealed to me
and I had a desire to see and taste
the tropical fruit in their natural en-
vironment, also I had hopes of being
benefited by the change, and although
not wholly benefited, I am able to
see to my work which is great pleas
ure to me, seeing and learning the
different names of the numerous
tropical fruits and plants grown here,
and to see them grow. In cold eli
mate the frost neutralizes the soil and
the farmer has the advantage of a
soil which is ready to raise a crop.
Here, in tropical climate, where it
is summer time always, we have to
find out what different fertilizing

each crop needs.
The disappointments of life are
many and there is no country where
there are not unpleasant conditions to
contend with. We have a continuous
summer, the temperature varies but
a few degrees from summer to winter.
You wear summer clothes all the year.
We have during the summer the trop-
ical rains which sweep in from the
Caribbean sea; one hardly sees it rain
in the north.
1t is the same here as other eli
mates, we sometimes have long wet
periods and dry ones when the trees
and gardens nearly perish for rain.
Looking north over a tropical scene of
bananas, grape fruit, orange trees
and pineapples; over the Palmettos
with their fan-like leaves, we see the
roof and steeple of church, the roofs
of hotel and other buildings of Santa
Fe. We are pleasantly situated on
rising ground south. The highway has
been newly graded and graveled and
is nearly as smooth as a sidewalk.

OLD TIMER LIKES HERALD
Roseburg. Ore. Dec. ID. 1915

Editor Herald, Sank Centre, MINI.
My dear sir: Enclosed find the price
of subscription of renewal. We could
not get along without the Herald and
the many news items from our old
home town. Your greater Minnesota
Edition was a hummer and takes me
back to the old times in 1857, when
the Simonton and Webbs came to
Minnesota with OK teams; and in 1861
when I camped on the ground where
the city now stands, 16-year old SOL
der boy, and of my many pleasant
associations with all those people,
many of whom have crossed the Di-
vide. A Merry Christmas to you all,
and Happy New Year is the wish
of your old time friend.
We are now in our ninth year on
the Pacific coast and love the warm
climate; everything is fresh and green
as June in Minnesota, but don't men
ton the rain-29 days in November,
and about every day in December.
vt it is so gentle and warm we pre-
fer it to cold and snow in our old age.
Yours most respectfully,
M. L. Webb.

This is an old Spanish country but
comparatively new as it is being de-
veloped by Americans who have set
tied here during the last 10 years. Inn
provements are going on constantly.
It is here as in all new countries, the
settler has many new things to learn.
We were very much pleased with
the Greater Minnesota Edition Of the
Herald. It was next to visit home
to see the familiar places and faces
OF those we have been acquainted
with. For over 80 years we worked
out the best of our lives to help i'm

While the Years Are Going BY.

There are lonely hearts to cherish
While the years are going by:
There are weary souls who perish
While the years are going by.
If smile we can renew
As our journey We pursue.
Oh. the good that We may do.
While the years are going by!
There's no time for idle scorning
While the years are going by:
Let your face be like the morning
While the years are going by.
Oh, the world is full of signs.
Full of sad and weeping eyes!
Help your fallen brothers rise
While the years are going by.
All the loving links that bind US
While the years are going by
One by one we leave behind US
While the years are going by.
But the seeds Of good we SOW
Both In shade and shine will grow
And win keep our hearts agiow
While the years are going by.

Someone is always taking the joy
out of life. Heretofore it has been
considered that any Of the fair sex
possessing dainty dimple in her
cheek or elsewhere were favored by
nature. "The dimpled darlings" are
now up in arms because nasty scien-

are defects caused by faulty construc-
tion or weakness" Many men have
gone "daffy" in the past over a dimple
and are now brought face to face
with the cold fact that they have been
"stung."

WINGED of this many moons since, and

is all right, but so is Socialism. The
only result accomplished by the pri-

is the foisting of lot of self-appoint-

it is too much too expect that a legis-

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

A short time ago the Honorable
Daniel w. Lawler wrote a letter to
the editor of the Montgomery Messen-
ger discussing at length his proposed
candidacy for governor or United
States Senator. In this letter Mr..
Lawler throws direct def at Fred
B. Lynch, national committeeman, to
enter the contest. He also challenges
Mr.. Lynch to file as candidate as
delegate at large. He concludes his
letter with this burning paragraph:
81 shall also pledge myself, if
elected as delegate-at-large to
vote against the reelection of
Fred B. Lynch as national COM
mitteeman from Minnesota. If
Mr.. Lynch and his friends are
issues of the statewide primary,
Mr.. Lynch will undoubtedly file
as candidate and give the good
democrats of this state an oppor-
tunity to pass on his administra-
ton of the office of national COM
mitteeman. Such filing by him
will also give me an opportunity
to advise the democrats of Mime
sofa as to Lynch's treachery to
the party in the campaign of
1912. On this point will be able
to submit undisputed testimony,
some of it of a documentary ma
ture, addessed to me directly by
members of the national COM
mittee."
What is Mr.. Lynch's reply? An offer
to Lawler of a $4,000 a year job in
Chile. This would remove the belig-
erent Daniel from the gubernatorial
race and smooth Lynch's political
pathway.
Will the people stand for these
shameless deals? Not any more
