The Lords Day, like the Jewish
Sabbath, is a memorial day. 1t is a
reminder of divine things: It points
above, like the church spires. Taking

one day as an occasion to be remem-
bered in His honor.

man, and not for the worst. They
who would make the Lords Day mere

mans lower nature rather than for the
cultivation of his higher spiritual self,
can get little support from the exam

Much of the perplexity which many
persons feel over the observance OF
ing it with the Jewish Sabbath, or
worse, with the Sabbath of the
Scotch and English Puritans. The
extra-legalists among the old Jews
read into the beneficent Sabbatical
provisions all sorts of irksome restric-
lions. They made Sabbath observance
a matter of minute regulations. These
burdens, too grievous to be borne,
Jesus summary threw aside. There
fore He was regarded as a Sabbath
breaker; and it is curious than when
ever Jesus appears in connection with
the Sabbath question, it is usually as
a violator of the existing laws. He
taught a liberal view of the day. His
conduct and words stressed the truth
that the letter killeth- The Sabbath
was never meant to be a burden to
man; much less the Lords Day which
has succeeded it.

The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
road well drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all instructions removed and
smooth crown maintained. Side
bitches Of ample capacity should be
maintained with sufficient fall to dis.
pose of surface water. These bitches
in most places can be constructed and
repaired with a road machine. The
road machine or grader may In gen.
eral be used effectively for this work.
The machine should be used when the
soil is damp so that it will pack and
bake into hard crust.
All vegetable matter, such as sods
and weeds, should be kept out OF the
road, as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are
also Objectionable for they soon turn
to dust or mud. Bowlders or loose
stones are equally Objectionable II a
smooth surface is to be obtained
A split'log drag or some similar de.
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and
cross-sections have once been con.
structed. This drag can also be
used TO advantage on most gravel
roads as well as on earth road. Tie
principle involved in dragging is that
rlays and most heavy soils will puddle

that baby son was born last week

and later engaged in the practice of
law.
Fields of fall grain over the two
prairies are looking exceptionally
fine at present and should produce
some great yields. Spring grain is
also coming along nicely in spite of
the late planting and will make a
fine crop if the weather remains
reasonably cool throughout the
month.
Scott Chariot, the Winona hard
ware man, was in the city Satur-
day and dropped in for a few min
utes chat. He reported crops look
ing fine out in his section and bust
ness very satisfactory. They did
not get as much rain out there as
we did here but have had sufficient
to keep things growing in fine
shape.
The weather report for the
month of June, as recorded at the
Monastery west of town, was as
follows: Maximum temperature, SO
degrees on the 18TH; minimum, 80
degrees on the goth. Total pre-
cipitation, a OF inches. Of the
latter IT'S inches fell last Sunday
and as the rain near the mountain
was much lighter than at this place
we can figure that the Sunday
storm contributed about rs inches
of moisture to the surplus we were
already enjoying.
