Hardly Ever Appreciated.

The public-spirited citizen shouldn't
waste any timein anticipation of praise
or reward from the public in general
for the good deeds he has done for the
public welfare, for it will not be forth
coming, except in a few individual in-
stances. The public-spirited citizen
should not be discouraged, however,
but should be encouraged in the self
satisfaction that he is doing what he
believes to be his duty; that the man
who is so selfish that he lives unto
himself is about as good as no man;
that the really good man is the one
who gives back something to his COM
munity, his state and his nation for
the many benefits he and his family
have received through our public in
stitutions, and in other ways, during
their lives on earth. Browns Valley

The Greatest Menace.

The greatest menace to the peace,
welfare and progress of this glorious
republic of ours, as we see it, is not
from some armed foe from foreign
shores, but from. the agitators and
political quacks within. Those wild
eyed specimens of half-baked humani-
ty go up and down the land crying
their wares, and trying to arouse the
people and set friends against friends
and pit neighbors against neighbors.
They make all sorts of accusations and
insinuations; they try to arouse the
laboring man against capital; they
strive to make war onvarious religious
sects; they even assail the flag and
the government. The Constitution of
the United States guarantees free
speech and a free press, but under no
consideration should that freedom of
speech and press be construed as Ii
cense. There is reason in all things
and these professional agitators should
not be allowed to run wild at the
mouth or insult our institutions with
the pen. Labor and capital each have
their rights, and those rights should
be and must be respected Winnebago

COUNTY DADS MEET
Board of County Commissioners Met
in Regular Session at County +.
Auditors Office Tuesday.
Four New School Districts Formed
in the. Town of ,Borgholm-s.s

and Chairman Cater presided
The board acted favorably on the
petitions asking for the formation of
four new school districts in the town
of Borgholm, and they are numbered
as follows: 40, so, 81 and So. The
territory involved was formerly part
of district IA which included about
three-fourths of the town Of Borg
holm. District IA is some smaller as
result.
A petition asking for the resurvey
of section 4, town Of Page, was pre-
scented to the board, and date Of hear
ing in the matter was set for October
10, at 2 o'clock.
The petition of C. P. Jorgenson of
the town of Borgholm, asking that his
lands be set off from school district
II and made part of district 25,
came up for final hearing. On motion
the petition was. granted.
Nils B. Berg Of Isle petitioned the
board to have his 120-acre farm set
off from that village and made a part
Of Isle Harbor township. January 2,
1917, was designated as a date Of
hea rino in tho noattor
After acting on the usual grist Of
bills the board adjourned. The next
meeting will be held on October 10,

sion next Tuesday for the preliminary

Game Instead of Mexicans.

Militia officers and enlisted men
who have been anxious to get shot
at some Texas wild game before re-
turning home may crafty their de-
sire from now on.
Brig. Gen. E. M. Lewis, command
ing Camp Llano Grande, has issued
an order revoking the prohi bition on
hunting, and if the troops remain here
until Nov. 1, when the deer season
opens, hunting parties will be COM
mon.
The dove season opened Sept. 1,
and a hunter is limited to fifteen
birds day. Three deer may be killed
season, and are very plentiful along
that section Of the border.
Hunting for turkeys, cartridges,
woodcock, snipe, quail and ducks is a
favorite sport later in the fall, wild
game of all description being very
plentiful. ~.

FrOsts Reduce Corn termination.

OSCS ASSAu~S OOAH 0CA
Seed corn that does not terminate
80 per cent or better is not fit to be
planted for the production of ears.
termination is the one factor that
regulates the value of seed corn of
any class or variety. Even fodder
corn seed ought to have high germ
ination testing power. A false i'm
preston prevails that fodder corn does
not need to have a high termination
record, like ear corn seed.
Killing frost on standing corn is al
most sure to impair the termination
of the seed. It is better to cut too
early than too late If cut and
shocked when about 80 per cent 6f
the ears are just well dented, the ker-
nels will fill out properly in the shock
and the termination will be preserved:
A killing frost while the corn is stand
ing may almost destroy the germinat-
ing power. The injury will be .reia-
lively larger as the crop is less ma.

Married at MankatO.

Mankato was the scene of very
charming wedding at noon, Tuesday,
Sept. 5, when Miss Olga Krengel, the
only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.
Krengel Of this place, became the
bride Of Virgil Winsor of Excelsior.
The ceremony was performed in the
German Lutheran church of that
place, Rev. A. F. Winter, the pastor,
officiating, with only the immediate
relatives of the bride as witnesses.
The bride wore a beautiful gown
of white embroidered georgette crepe
over messaline, her full veil being of
the same material and caught up
with orange blossoms. Miss Frieda
Rosenow of Wells, her cousin, was
bridesmaid, her gown being a golden
colored marquisette and her flowers
yellow roses. Attorney VIM. Prescott,
Of st. Paul, a boyhood friend Of the
groom, acted as best man., -,
+ After the ceremony, the party en-
joyed a wedding dinner at the Saul
paugh, the happy couple leaving on
the afternoon train for the cities.
The bride wore a travelling suit Of
black taffeta with hat to match. Af-
ter trip to Princeton, Duluth and
other points in the northern part of
the state, they will return to Ma
pleton for a short time before they
go to Excelsior where they will live.

one in this vicinity, having been born
and always lived in Mapleton. For
several years she, was employed in
Troendle's general store as saleslady
and later in Greiner's millinery de-

her pleasing manner and careful at
tention to business. Mr.. Winsor is

our people but is highly spoken Of
by those who know him. He is en-
ployed as travelling salesman by
one of the twin city firms with head
quarters at Excelsior where the young
people will make their home. The
Enterprise joins with a host of friends
in extending congratulations.-Maple

Describing Eternity.

A colored preacher was trying to
impress upon his congregation the
length of eternity.
IF sparrow, breddren, should take
a drop of water from the Atlantic
ocean at Coney Island and with the
drop of water in his beak should hop
a hop a day until he reached the Pa
cific ocean at SanFrancisco, and when
he got there should let the drop fall
into the Pacific, and when this was
done should turn round and hop a hop
a day all the way back to Coney Is
land, get another drop and do the
same thing all over, and keep on do
ing the very same thing until he had
carried the whole Atlantic ocean over
into the Pacific, it would then be only
early morning in eternity.

H0! FOR THE FAIR
Silver Jubilee Exposition of Mile Laos.
County Agricultural Society
Opened Yesterday.
Exhibits Numerous and Indications
Point to a Record Breaking
Fair in Every Way.

Yesterday, the opening day of the
Silver Jubilee exposition, of the Mile
Laos County Agricultural society,
dawned auspiciously and real fair
weather marked the entry day. A
cloudless sky cheered the officers and
directors.
A Union reporter visited the
grounds yesterday and they certainly
presented a holiday appearance. Flags
were waving, refreshment stands op-
Grating and various booths were be-
ing placed in readiness.
All the exhibits were not in, but
the showing was splendid one even
early in the afternoon. The cattle
barn was almost filled, and fair Wis
itors will be afforded an opportunity
to view some fine herds Sam Droogs-
ma has entered his herd of Herefords,

The American 'Wav.

If Mr.. Wilson, president of the Unit
ed States, could bottle all the criticism
that has been hurled against him dur
ing the past six months, he would be
able to nurse all the political infants
in the United States from now until
kingdom, comes. But that's the Amer
lean way. A president is always pop
ular at the beginning of his admin
istration, but when he gets about half
through it, he becomes a target of I'M
limited censure and abuse. If Presi-
dent Wilson should be an instrument
through which the railway strike
should be permanently settled, he
should at least not be condemned for
trying to do his duty.-Chisago Coun-
ty Press.

and C. N. Parks has herd of Hol-
stein Friesians entered. Others have
some nice stock on exhibition also, and
other entries are expected, including
herds of advanced Holsteins and
'Guernseys by the Milaca Breeders
associe ton.
The horses exhibited this year in
clude some splendid animals, and some
exceptionally fine colts are in the lot.
Blooded hogs and some nice sheep
are also entered.
The poultry hall contains some fine
birds, and ducks, geese and chickens,
quack, hiss and cluck as visitor
passes through.
The school exhibits from Princeton
and the rural schools are we'll worth
inspecting. Superintendent Ewing is
in charge Of the rural display, and
he has some winning vegetables
grown by farmers boys as well as
the regular specimens of drawing,
writing, etc., on exhibition.
Booths have been fitted up under the
grandstand for the exhibits of Farm
ers' clubs, and at o'clock yesterday
three clubs had their displays in readi-
ness, viz: Milo Mutual, Woodward
Brook and Chase Brook. Vegetables,
grain and grasses such as only Mile
Laos county soil can produce were
included in the exhibits.
The entries in the pastry and do
mestic canned fruit department appear
so appetizing and are so attractively
arranged as to make ones mouth
water.
No fair visitor should pass by the
art hall. Here the incest kind of
needle work that human hands can
produce may be viewed, and the west
wing contains paintings Of merit by
amateurs. Here, too, Princeton mer-
chants have attractively arranged
booths.
The agricultural hall contains vege-
tables, grains and grasses grown by
the best farmers in this section of
Minnesota, as we'll as flowers and
fruits. It is we'll worth visiting.
This afternoon the amusement pro-
gram will commence, and indications
are that the Silver Jubilee exposition
will be a record breaker in every re-
spect. The program is varied and old
and young will be entertained. Close
and exciting ball games, fast horse
races and other contests and sports
will be enjoyed by those in attendance
A hundred autos are expected from
Anoka Friday.

tive to fish dying to greater extent
than usual in Mile Laos lake this
year. Mr.. Avery in replying stat ed
his office has had reports from good
many lakes this year in which similar
conditions prevail. The varieties af-
fected have been whitefsh, trelipies,
crappies, perch and sunfsh especi-
ally. The other varieties have not
suffered to any great extent. But the
department is not equipped with any
scientific Investigators to look into
such matters.
AS a possible explanation Mr.. Avery
gave the following:
Gin lakes similar to our Minnesota
lakes actual diseases seldom affect
fish, but there are a good many natur-
al causes of mortality among fish. In
seasons of high water when there is
much drainage from surrounding land
into the lakes there is a, good deal
Of erosion, and the water flowing into
the lakes carries with it sediment,
rubbish, leaf mould and other vegeta-
bic matter which is deposited in the
lakes, and it decomposes later in the
summer as the weather warns up.
This decomposition, as you know, ex-
hausts the free oxygen Of the water
upon which the fish depend for life,
and releases sulphur dioxide gas
which, when excessive, is deadly to
fish. I am inclined to think that in
many cases this is the cause of the
fish mortality, although it might not
be in your instance"

The Farmers Do. However

Suppose the farm hands of the ma
ton should organize and demand an
eight-hour day with ten hours pay,
and time and half for overtime,
and the President should go to con-
gress and demand the passage of a
law compelling the farmers to paw
the wages demanded, regardless of
the fact that it might mean bank
ruptcy for some of them; suppose he
should announce further that if
they failed to comply with the law,
the government would sieze their
farms. That is exactly the position
the railways are in, but of course,
the railways do not cast very many
votes.-Fergus Falls Journal. y
