j PARENTS Nh \ ]! AND a! CLUB WORK.
Parental Aid and ENCOURAGEMENT
Essential to Success Of Club
Members.

An illustration of the great importance
of the attitude Of parents toward the
work of members Of the boys agricultural
clubs which havS been organized through
out the country by the. department is
found by specialists in cooperative
demonstration work in two cases reported
from the same State. The incidents
are accepted as showing the value Of
parental sympathy and consideration,
particularly in the solution OF the
problem Of keeping the members of the
younger generation on the farm.
In one case it was found that the boy
of the family was helped and encouraged
from the time he first joined corn club.
His father permitted the use Of one of the
best acres on the farm, gave him barn
yard manure, and allowed the use of the
necessary horses and machinery. The
young club member produced more than
100 bushels of corn on his single acre the
first year and has been consistently
successful since. He has even es-
tablished a reputation as breeder of
fine seed corn. During the four years
of his membership in the corn, pig, and
other clubs, he has won more than $4OO
in prizes, and, with his profits, has
acquired ownership of seven head of
pure-bred Duroc Jersey hogs, six head
of well-bred cattle, and a horse. The
home is said to be ideal, the father and
son being reported as "chummy as
school boys" The boy has no thought
Of taking up life in the city, but is
planning constructive future on the
farm.
In the second case the results have beer
wholly different. The young son of this
family joined a Kafir club, but when the
crop was gathered the grain was psaced
in a general farm bin and he received nc
value from it. The following year he
joined pig club; and when his father
called attention to the lack of feed, he
hired himself to a neighboring GARNER tc
secure funds The money which he
earned was, however, pocketed by the
father. Wholly discouraged, the young
boy shortly afterwards ran away from
home and IS now working i'm a city Of q
neighboring State.
The incidents have been used by the
State demonstration agent Of the State in
which they occurred as the text for an
urgent appeal to all parents to encourage
their children IN the constructive work
they are undertaking in the clubs. One
factor which will be helpful, it is pointed
out, is permitting the young people to re-
ceiwe the full financial profits of their
industry.

'l4e 7 aA,ouy Oh = human being to whom it
transfers the infection.
Since plague is a disease Of rodents
and since tits carried from sick rodents
to we'll men by rodent fleas, safety
from the disease lies in the exclusion of
rodents, not only exclusion from the
habltation of man but also from the
ports and cities of the world. Those
who dwell in rat-proof surroundings take
no plague. Not only should man dwell
IN rat-proof surroundings, but he should
also live in rat-free surroundings. The
day IS past when the rodent served q
useful purpose as the unpaid city
scavenger. Rats will not come where
there is no food for them. Municipal
cleanliness may be regarded as a partial
insurance against plague. The prayer
that no plague come nigh our dwelling
is best answered, however, by rat
PROBING the habitations of man. Modern
sanitary science has evolved simple
and efficient weapon against the pesti-
lence which walketh in darkness and
strlketh at MONDAY, and the U. S.
Public Health Service has put this
knowledge into practical operation and
thus speedily eradicated plague wherever
it has appeared in the United States.

RECALLING EARLY DAYS.

Speaking about the early history of
Brown county and the organization of
townships, H. j. Knudsen said he was
present in the early spring of 1870 when
he, Peter Merit, Julius Kruger and a
few others got together and organized
the Town of Prairieville. George N.
Dayton, Gus Plath and Julius Kruger
were the first supervisors. j. F. Barton
was town clerk, Peter Mertz, treasurer,
Casper Christensen, assessor and justice
of the peace, while H. J. Knudsen was
constable. Most of the settlers in the
town had been here from a year to four
years and New Ul1n was the nearest
market place. Golden Gate had a
couple small stores and A. X. Peterson
had blacksmith shop. There was also
a small town, but lumber and all building
material had to be got from New Ulm.
The railroad had only been built to LIE
Sueur when Mr.. Knudsen got here and
Rochester was the west end of the road.
OK teams were about the only mode of
travel those days, and the early pioneer
who had horse and buggy was high
toned citizen. There were no groves,
only on the river were seen timber and
it seemed. says MIR. Knudsen, "that
the winters were more severe those days.
When he had to go to New Ulm for
material, he would start in the evening
after supper and get to New Ulm in the
early morning, load up and start back,
getting back that night, making "a
hour day of it. He then would have one
nights rest and give the OK team "a
hour rest and do the stunt over again.
All the lumber and building material was
hauled in this manner for all the houses
in the early days. The road did not
come west of New Ulm until 1871 and
up to that date there was no Sleepy Eye.
Those were strenuous times for the old
pioneer: Sleepy Eye rald-Dispatch.
At this time 20. years ago the ground
on which Lafayette Village is now
located was a stubble field. The rail
road was completed and the first train
rum as far as New Ulm on July 18th.
Building material was brought here on
the new road and very soon one building
after another was erected. O. A. DIN
built a small store and opened up for
business on Aug. rs, 1896. John Abra-
hanson started about the same time.
Soren Sorenson was on the ground among
the first as drayman and T. F. Bergquist,
then working for Larson Bros & Berg
quist, as manager of their lumber yard.
These four gentlemen were the only ones
in business here 20 years ago who are
still in business here to-day Lafayette

HACKBARTHs ARE CHAMPIONS

The decisive contest of the Home
League Bowling Club was held at Con-
cordia club rooms Monday afternoon,
between the Hackbarth's and the Colts.
The Hackbarth team was successful in
taking two out of the three games
played but the victor of the league was
hardly kaown until the last ball had been
rolled. Since H. Engelbert and A..
Grahms of the Colts were out of town
an average of their playing in former
games was struck as their score. The
result of the contest was as follows:

MENTAL SUGGESTION?

1t its "a remarkable fact, confirmed by
many observations, that many: physicians
who have devoted considerable labor to
the study of "a particular disease have
themselves died Of that disease. One
of the most interesting examples is that
of John Daniel Major, born August Is.
1884, in. Breslau, "a physician and
naturalist of no mean ability. Bitten
early by the wanderlust, he studied at
Wittenburg, took courses at many of
the schools in Germany, and finally went
to Italy where he received the degree
of doctor of medicine at Padua in 1860.
Returning to his own country, he re-
sided for a short time in Silesia, and in
1861 married at Wittenburg, Margaret
dorothy, a daughter of the celebrated
Sennert. The following year, his young
wife was stricken with plague and died
after an illness of eight days. Dis
tracted by his loss, Major wandered UP
and down Eurype' studying plague
wherever he found it in the hope that he
might discover a cure for the disease
which had bereaved him. Spain, Ger
many, France and Russia were visited
by him. He settled in 1865 in Kiel.
where he was made professor of botany
and the director of the botanical gardens.
He made frequent voyages, however,
always in quest of the remedy for
plague. Finally in 1893, he was called
to Stockholm to treat the queen Of
Charles the Eleventh, then ill with
plague. But before he could render
her any service, he contracted the
disease and died on the third of August.
The bubonic plague of to-day is
identical with the black death of the
Middle Ages. Primarily a disease. of
rodents caused by a short dumb-bell
shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest
bacillus, it occurs in man in three forms:
the pneumonia, which has death rate
of almost 100 per cent; the septicaemic,
which is nearly as fatal, and the bubonic
in which even with the most modern
methods of treatment the mortality is
about SO per cent. 1t is disease of
commerce, spreading around the globe
in the body of the ship-borne rat. It is
estimated that every case of human
plague costs the municipality in which
it occurs at least $1,000. This does not
take into account the enormous loss due
to disastrous guarantees and the com
mercial paralysis which the fear of the
disease so frequently produces.
The disease is now treated by serum
discovered through the genius of Yersin.
This is used in much the same way as is
diphtheria antitoxin.
Plague is transferred from the sick
rodent to the well man by heas. The
'ick rat has enormous numbers of
plague bacilli in its blood. The blood

THE BIG DAY NEAR
Carl Hagenbeck-W Wallace Circus Soon
To Be In Our Midst

Only few more days await the an
pearance of the Carl Hagenbeck Wallace
Circus in New Ulm. The date is Fri.
day September 9Th. and the small boys
as usual are at fever heat in anticipation
of what they will see and hear on circus
day, acknowledged to be better than
Christmas and the Fourth of July COM
bined.
Nothing seems to dim the popularity
of the circus, especially those of the
arger type. A new crop of children APP
pear each year. They must see the dear
good old clown and smell the sawdust.
But the blare of the band, the rumble
OF eavy red wagons and the roar of the
lions seem to make the grown-up skids
again on circus day. OF course they
genel ally say they are going to carry
the CT ildren to see the. animals but deep
downin their hearts they know they would
not miss the big show if there was not
small boy in thousand miles on circus
day.
Three trains are necessary to transport
the Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus. The
first is known as the Flying squadron
and leaves the exhibition city daily
at 10 p. M, in order to arrive during the
early morning hours. Aboard is car
ried the commissary department and
canvas hotel, for breakfast must be
ready at Z a. m. The second circus
special carries the famous Carl Hagenbeck
