A Test of Philosonhv.

Slowbetter is a calm man. not easily
upset. On one occasion, as his motor
car had come to sudden stop, he
crawled underneath it to see what was
the matter.
Somehow or other some petrol ig-
nited. A fierce burst of fame and
smoke came forth, enveloping Slowbet-
ter. In the midst of the excitement he
walked to one side with his usual slow
and regular step. His face was black,
his eyebrows and eyelashes were
singed, and what was left of his hair
and beard was a sight to behold.
Some one brought a mirror, and he
had look at himself. AS usual, how
ever, he took matters philosophically.
WELL" he said slowly and deliber.
ately, II was needing a shave and my
hair cut anyway.

The following first aid measure for
children who put beans. buttons, grav-
ell and other objects up into their nos
trils is given by DR.. David E.. Spahr In
Farm and Fireside.
"A lady residing in the country call
ed me up late at night and told me in
an anxious, agonizing voice that she
wanted me to come at once as her
baby had grain of corn in its nose,"
the doctor writes. Il told her it Wn,,l.
not be necessary for me to come If 81
would do as bid her. She said tn.
corn was in the left nostril told her
just to lay the child down on the bed
on its back, compress the right nostril
with the finger; then, as the baby
cried, place her mouth over the baby's
mouth and blow hard. In another mo-
ment a happy, joyful voice came ring
ing over the line: Doctor, we got the
corn. It's all right and you don't need
to Gomez .....-.
Thus l lost my five dollar fee, INT
made happy mother.
"This is not very elegant or per-
haps sanitary plan. but assure you
1t Is speedy and efrectual."

with this part Of the world that l am

bilfties as place where the man of
small means can find and make
home at the lowest possible cost. To
the renter back home, to the man
who has an equity in q high priced
Kandiyohi county farm and is trying
to pay the balance to the poor laborer
who has saved but little more than
his home in the Kandiyohi county
village, to the man who wants to start
his sons on farms of their own and
who does not feel able to pay the
high prices prevailing in Kandiyohi
and other long settled places, to all
who want to buy g. home without
mortgaging their entire future to pay
for 1t, the low priced lands Of this
section afford probably the best
homes left to the land seekers.
The soil varies from a sandy loan

must be careful to avoid tracts of

there are scattering areas. The eli

The thermometer sometimes going to

dear friend, the winters up here are
peculiar. The forty below weather
here is really not so bad as the ten

a Kanddyohi man to be out working on
q winter day with cap rolled up, top

he considers comparatively mild day
and then happen to glance at the ther-
mometer and find it twenty degrees
below zero. This kind Of weather,
however, is not the rule here though;
for q while the nights are usually
quite cold, the thermometer generally
rising to almost thawing point, leav-
