am thinking Of q man in this town
whom I will call 'SBen." The reason
call him Ben is because that is not his
name.
Ben will have a chance to vote on
next Monday, week from today, on
woman suffrage. He has a rafting good
wife. and a couple of children. He is
devoted to all Of them
Ben, can you think Of single reason
why you should vote that does not APP
ply with equal force to your good wife?
She is your partner In everything else
and you worked mighty hard to get
her into the partnership game with you,
and she Is in, all over. and will go fur
Their for the partnership Arm than you
will. Now, why isn't 1t fair for you to
give her the partnership rights of hav-
ing her sag about the rules for running
our community and our state and who
shall enforce those rules?
She has to live under the law just the
same as you do. Why not let her help
saw what that. law shall be?
You trust her with the most precious
things that ever came into your life
your children. You force her to take
the principal charge in their raising
and training. Then why aren't you
glad to trust her with the vote?
You trust her with your home. She
manages it, andsesI1e runs 1t mighty
well: whole lot better than you could
run it. and on whole lot better bust

an apprentice. you ought to be.
When you become an apprentice. the
first thing you must learn Is the dig
nifty of labor and the next thing is to
get it out of your head that the world
looks down upon a mechanic. That
sort of rot has ruined many young
man. The world does not look down
upon a mechanic unless he is dissi-
pated, worthless man. And then, 1t Is
not his occupation, but his own char
acter.
The mechanics apprentice must
learn to love his work and to be proud
Of his product. II he loves his work,
the days are short; otherwise they are
long.
The mechanics apprentice should not
take too much stock in what the older
men in his trade tell him. Many OF
these have travelled the wrong road
and have soured on the world. Their
companionship and their advice are not
valuable to the apprentice. The ap-
prentice in self defense must learn to
look on the bright side. If life would
be worth living to him, he must make
1t so.
If the young mechanic expects to
work his way and to get away from
the bench, he must depend upon him.
self and not upon the government. And
not upon any labor organization. Some
Of the older men in the trade will say
that the unions can help make man
successful. The writer Of this is me-
chanic and formerly belonged to labor
union, but he never depended upon a
labor union for anything except place
to get acquainted and talk over the
beauties of the trade. The labor unions,
however, have done great work and
should be continued.
The young man should not conclude
that the church Is for the rich, and for
those who can wear fine clothes. Re-
ligion is for no such purpose. and the
|self-respecting working man or me-
chanic should not harbor such thoughts.
The young man should understand that
religion is the way to heaven and that
truth and honor are the foundations of
religion.

Implement dealers and others who
handle binding Irvine in Morris are
fearing over what may happen in the
binding Irvine market this fall. The
International Harvester Co., one of
the largest sources of supply in the
country, has withdrawn from the
market entirely and at the present
time refuse to accept any more orders
at any price. "Unless something
happens pretty soon," said local
dealer last Saturday l do not know
what the farmers hereabouts will do
next harvest.
The international peolpe issued
orders to their agents early last month
not to accept any more orders until
further advised. Contracts made
prior to April 8 will be filled at prices
prevailing on March 81. This course
was forced, it is said, by the action
of the Henequen company which con-
trolls the sisal product of Yucatan.
American importers have been noti-
fed that further orders from Yucatan
will not be filled and at the present
time there is no information as to
when the orders will be filled. Con-
gress has started an investigation but
just how foreign trusts may be pro-
secuted is a problem.
A. A. Stone, ST., who had the wis
dom of overstocking last season and
who was in the field earlv this season
with his orders has been notified that
he will be taken care of. Mr.. Stone
says he will not have enough to supply

BABY Beef" Big PAYER

Browns Valley Tribune: Patrick
Jordan, of Beardsley, returned from
St. Paul, on Monday, where he had
been with three carloads of hogs and
beef cattle. He exhibited a check
for almost $4,000 which he had re-
ceived in payments for the stock. Mr..
Jordan told US that the greater part
of the cattle in the lot was what is
termed as "baby beef "Baby
beef "are animals a year old. When
the calves are born in the spring they
are permitted to run with the cows
until late in the full, when they are
taken from them and put on a steady
diet of ground feed, oil meal and al
falfa. The feed is before them all
the time and they are permitted to

eat all they desire of it. and they
grow at surprisingly rapid rate,
and some of them will weigh $50
pounds at the end of the year, when
they are ready for market. This is
the first effort of Jordan Bros. at
growing "baby beef ''and they are
highly pleased with the result, and
they propose to follow up the bust
ness. Of late years there has grown
strong demand for "baby beef" in
the larger markets.

ENDEAVORERS HOLD
ROUSING MEETING
Remarkable Progress in Past
Year Shown III Reports at
Litchfield Convention
By Miss Florence Ringness.

The twenty third annual meeting of
the Willmar District Christian En-
deavor societies of which Morris is a
part was held at Lithcfeld on the
18th, goth and 21st, last week, and
proved to be one of the most success
full and interesting meetings held for
many years. The attendance was
good despite the bad weather and
roads. Miss Alice Tomlin and Miss
Florence Ringness represented Morris
at the convention and many from
here who had expected to 60 were
prevented because of weather condi-
tions.
One of the surprising and encour-
aging developments of the meeting
was the great progress made in the
district during the past year. Re-
ports of the various societies in the
district showed clearly that a deep
interest in Christian Endeavor work
is being taken following the conven-
ton which was held in Morris a
year ago
Among the state officers who in
spired their hearers were State Pre-
sident Stephenson, of St. Paul; Ma
tional Junior Superintendent Mildred
Haggard, of Minneapolis; State
Superintendent Vrooman, of Mime
apolis, and State Secretary Margaret
Brandt, of St. Paul. The opening
sessions brought out many and devel
oped enthusiasm among Endeavorers.
The possibilities of Christian citi
zenship and what it is doing all
over the world was brought out very
forcibly by Mr.. Vrooman. Miss
Haggard's talk on the "Relation of
the C. E. to Church and Pastor"
proved very interesting, instructive
and beneficial. No one can hear Miss
Haggard and not be thrilled and in
spired. Miss Williams, of Willmar,
gave some splendid ideas on "Pow-
err" Among the district officers who
gave interesting talks were Joseph
Chase and George Scotch, of Will
mar. The central theme of the con-
vention was on the matter of constant
enlargement of the service.

Shot Large Gray Eagle

While working in the fields last
Saturday Joe Riser saw a large gray
eagle circling about, says the Elbow
Herald. The sight was such an unusual
one that he watched the big bird and
when it alighted a short distance
away Riser ran to the house, secured
a shot gun and got fine shot at the
bird.
The eagle rose and scared away
and Riser thought he had missed his
mark. A short distance away it fell
to the ground. Riser recovered it
and found that it measured seventy
one inches from tip to tip. Eagles
are supposed to be extinct in
this section of the country.

C. N. to Double Track

Work will be commenced this week
on the the double tracking of the
Great Northern between Kerkhoven
and Atwater. Gravel will be taken
from the pit at New London. There
is so much traffic on the main line
that trains reaching within station
or two of the Willmar are delayed in
waiting to pass other trains that often
the sixteen-hour limit is up and extra
crews must be sent out to bring in
the trains. With double tracks ex-
tending about thirty miles each way
from Willmar it is hoped the trains
will be run on time, and at less
expense.

Hence this handsomely y-framed picture Of
your dear one-in recognition Of the part the
baby played In this greatest Of baby contests.
The picture is ready to hang upon the wall
an ever-rcrntnder Of his or her baby days.
Mothers and fathers-and the babies them
selves IN years to come-will be immensely
pleased with this handsome keepsake.
