Hughes, the republican candidate for
president. that the present admins

spects.
He chided his colleagues for their
exit avagance. called for a more bust

many congressman. senators and the
president himself on the question of

FARMS INCREASE
One THIRD IN 7 YRS.
Healthy Growth in County Farm
Development

In an article published in this
paper August Bird giving the increase
in property values in Hand county.
as returned bv county assessors. no
comparison of the growth of farms
was stated. Since then the files in
this Office have disclosed this very
healthy growth:
Hand Go. farms, 1909. 1000
1916. 1855
This shows the really remarkable
growth of more than one third of
new farms developed in sever years,
with an estimated increase of over
10000 acres of cultivated land.
Live Stock Increase
An increase in both number and
value of live stock is noted for the
same period, with the single excep-
ton of sheep. The assessed number
and values are:

Above is a picture of an old log
cabin standing near the Black and
Yellow trail in Hubert twp, adjoin-
ing the farm of Capt John McMurty.
During an auto trip to Washington
some time ago the picture was taken
by w. G. Tamblyn. L. A. Smith ap-
pears in the upper window, Below
left to right are j. A. Bushfeld, S.
V. Christ, p. j Wier. all of Miller.
The logs of this old cabin, one of
the very first buildings in the county,
were cut from timber in the Majors
gulch, about a mile and half to the
southwest in the Washington Hills.
} K. Tilton, pre-emptor of the quar-
ter where the cabin stands, hauled
some of the logs IN the fall Of 1881.
The balance were hauled by Capt.
McMurtry early in the spring of 1882
when the cabin was completed. The
land was proved up by Tilron under
the presumption law in the fall of
1892.
This old land mark was somewhat
wrecked in a recent wind storm and
some of the logs have tumbled out
of place. j. |. Mcneil. of the Wes-
sington Times, himself a pioneer of
the Washington Hills, suggests that
this old land mark should be preserv.
ed. In a recent article in the Times
he says: 1--WE residents of a new
country are apt to place too little val
ue on old land marks. allowing them
to be removed or destroyed without
uttering a word of protest, or rails
ing a hand to preserve them. There
is an old log cabin on the Black &
Yellow trail a few miles west of Wes-
slngton which has stood since the
very earliest days of settlement un-
used for probably a quarter of a cen
tury, but remaining in fairly good
state of preservation until the severe
wind storm about three weeks ago.
1t is now %tottering on the verge of
collapse. 1t seems 20 the publisher
of this paper that it is a great pity
to allow this old land mark to fall in
ruins. AS the years go by a log
house becomes more OF a curiosity
and for the sake of future gerations
it would seem that this building
should be preserved.
On ones travels, no matter where
he goes, II is the old things that are
of interest. The first house built in
Santa Fe is still preserved and shown
to every visitor, though 1t is only an
old mud shack. The old government
house in that CITY, too, is IN a good
state of preservation, having recon
structed. Nearly every town has
some old structure to which it points
with pride. Why can't this vicinity
do something to preserve the old log
cabin"

Leather Famine
And Wooden Shoes

Wooden shoes for Americans
within two years" was the prediction
made in Chicago by delegates to the
Illinois Shoe Retailers associations
first annual convention.
This country is facing a leather
famine. Embargoes placed by the
allies against cattle shipments is
gradually boosting the price of leath-
er until it will be a luxury to wear a
of Shoes" said one delegate.
Shoes will cost $40 a pair and only
millionaires will be able to afford
high legged boots"

The Apple Crop
And The Boys

There are a considerable number
of Young apple trees in the county
bearing a small crop this year. 1t
would be a matter of pride and ben
eft to allow these apples to remain
on the trees at least until the state
fair collections are made, and the
varieties definitely determined. But
will the bows stop to think Of this
and check that mad desire of an
American youth to taste green
apples. Come on, boys, have a
heart and lets wait until after
the state fair.

THE STATE FAIR AND
COUNTY EXHIBIT
Under Official Direction And
County Appropriation

The annual State Fair occurs next
month, Sept. 18th to 18th. AS it is
held in the adjoining county of Bea-
die, always on a September date. it
practically eliminates any county fair
for Hand county. Hence it is advis-
able, and many think preferable. TO
make Hand county's annual display
OF her products at this fair. The
object of a display is to advertise
what a locality produces. This is ac-
complished better and more extern
sively at a big state fair than it could
be at an exclusive county fair. Also
in the matter of attending for pleas
ure and sight seeing, the people pre-
fer to go to the big show.
Last wear Hand county won second
premium by her exhibit, and it was
confidently stated that she stood a
good show for first place. lacking
onlv in the variety of corn displayed.
Under state law the county COM
missioners appropriate $500 to pay
expenses of the exhibit. 1t is hardly
sufficient to make a first class exhib-
it. $500 would be much better-and
still that small sum would be a cheap
price for the benefits derived. Hand
county is one of the very foremost
mixed farming counties in the state.
and probably produces more per
capita each year than three fourths
of the state. We know it. but the
state at large don't know it. And
an expense of $500 annually for a
good state fair exhibit would cost
less than one-fourth of a mill on the
county's assessed value of over TWEEN
ty two millions.
The commissioners have again
selected Mr.. j. II. VanLoon as man.
ager of the county exhibit, and he
makes this appeal for products to
the farmers and gardeners of Hand
ceuntv:
Exhibits Wanted
Corn-Must consist of 10 ears =
yellow dent, white dent, other kinds
of dent, yellow flint. white flint
sweet corn, pop corn, squaV r
Potatoes. l peck, any variety.
Pumpkins, squashes. watermelon,

Vegetables of all kinds.
Let me know what you have, or
bring in your exhibits to me not
later than Sept. 7th. Yours for a
good exhibit.

STRONG MAN
SAYS TWIN CITIES
Crowds Hear Candidate Flail Ad-
miniStratiOn

Minneapolis Journal-''The repub-
lican party has a candidate willing
and able to take care of himself every
minute CT the campaign" This is
the appraisal of Charles Evans
Hughes made today by Minnesotans
who saw and heard him Yesterday.
Mr.. Hughes stepped before his
audiences in Minneapolis and st.
Paul rejoicing as a strong man to
run a race" From his first utter
ances he gave the impression of a
man master of his facts. master of
the situation, and master of himself.
Before 10000 people on the Parade
he appeared with "a very definite
thing to say and in Is minutes had
met Secretary w. G. Redfield's reply
to his Detroit speech with telling
force. With a letter from E. Dana
Durand of the University of Mime
sofa he proved one disputed asser.
ton, and placed the secretary in a
most embarrassing position. In a few
sentences he summarized and repeat
ed his other charges of political job
berry against the administration.
Before another 10000 who packed
the st. Paul auditorium last night,
Mr.. Hughes assaiIed the administra-
ton for its "vacillation" on prepar-
edness and Mexico. 81 do not care
what they say. in Words" declared
Mr.. Hughes. You cannot trust an
administration capable of wrong
headedness of that description
Crowd YeIls Approval
AS he stood in the same hall eight
years ago to dissect William J. Bryan
in n of the most mastery argu-
ments v e heard in the northwest,
so Mr.. Hughes last night tore the
Wilson Mexican policy to tatters in
the same merciless way. his face
lighted with broad smiles as he drove
his points home and the crowd yelled
approval.
1t was always the administration"
that Mr. Hughes attacked. Not once
in the whole day did he mention the
name of Woodrow Wilson. Men
seeking to catch him IN bitter per-
sonal attacks could end nothing per-
sonal in his Indictment. 1t reached
the party in power at every point. in
congress. in the cabinet and in the
White House.
In His Element
Through it all the candidate was
manifestly in his element. To those
who heard him it seemed that the
judicial ermlne must have been irk-
some to him. Once more Hughes is
the fighter, as he was in the insur-
ance Investigations, in his war on
race track gambling and his battle
for clean government IN New York
state. He is losing no time in put
ting the administration at Washing
ton on the defensive.
