the total net profits of that industry.
In these facts of loss as compared

The credit financiers estimate that
of all the new businesses launched

Editor Heinze, of the Tower City
Topics, has been at the helm of that
publication for a year and is celebrat-
ing his first anniversary with his old
friend, Hi Larity. Bro. Heinze has
brought his paper to the front in good
style. and contemplates further i'm
provements commensurate with the
support he is accorded. During the
year this publisher has kept tab on the
progress of his village and territory,
giving his patrons the right selection
from "Heinzes 81 varieties" to keep
them on edge, and been a leader
among the boosters of his bailiwick.
His efforts are worthy of emulation.

some READABLE VERSE
A LOAD OF HAY

Hard-paved streets and hurrying feet,
Where it's only nod when old friends
meet, E
Rattle of cart and shrek of horn,
Smiling Youth and Age forlorn,
Bound for my office l speed away,
When my auto brushes-a load of hay
Chauffeur curses l scarcely hear,
For things loved as boy seem near:
Scent of meadows at early morn,
Miles Of waving fields of corn,
Lowing cattle and colts at play
Long have l wandered another way!
Hank, the bell as it calls the noon!
Boy at his chores, hear him whistle a
tune!
Barn doors creaking on rusty locks
Rattle of corn in the old feed box,
Answering nicker at toss Of hay
Old sweet sounds of far-off day!
There! My driver stops with a jerk,
Then far aloft to the scene of my
work;
But all day long, midst the citys roar
My heart is the heart of a boy once
more,
My feet in old-time fields astray-
Lured by the scent from load of hay

Every time you jump up and down
and yell for home run. every time
you forget yourself and let your ex-
element have full play, the blood is
sent racing through your veins and
arteries and every organ Of your body
is purged and stimulated. Every time
you "bawl out" the umpire and cheer
your favorites the oxygen rushes into
your lungs and worry and depression
are forgotten.
Watching a holly contested game is
more stimulating than drinking
whisky and it leaves no injurious after
effects

A Minnesota editor that may have
visited the Pacific coast lets go the
following: The California man gets
up at the alarm of Connecticut clock,
buttons his Chicago suspenders on De-
troit overalls; washes his face with
Cincinnati soap in Pennsylvania pan,
sits down to Grand Rapids table,
eats Kansas City meat with Minnesota
flour, cooked with Indiana lard on a
st. Louis stove; puts a New York
bride on a Wyoming broncho, fed with
Iowa corn; plows a 5-acre farm GOV.
cred by an Ohio mortgage, with a
Chattanooga plow; when bed time
comes he reads chapter from a bible
printed in Boston; says a prayer writ
ten in Jerusalem, crawls under a blan
ket made in New Jersey, only to be
kept awaks by sand flets, the only
home product on his place.

Commercial clubs in some Of the
towns of the state are winning favor
by having all the roads leading from
their respective towns put in good con-
dition. This is something that is ap-
preciated by farmers, and is one of the
best business getters for town that
can be considered by commercial bod
les. There are some of the roads out
of Valley City that need attention. The
Commercial club could we'll afford to
get busy with the proposition.

The success of farming in Wiscon-

The bumper crop of small grain in our
state this year should be warning as

not come every year. The silo and
the right amount of stock are not a
speculation, but dependable business
proposition that should bring satisfac-

A sample of oats from the farm Of
W. W. Blacker near Sanborn on exhi-
