ercise, and tired him so he could sleep
When K. was sure that the boy had
gone, he would turn back toward the
Street. Some of the heaviness of his
spirit always left him at sight of the
little house. Its kindly atmosphere
seemed to reach out and envelop.
Within was order ant quiet, the fresh
ness Of his turned-do~n bed, the tidi-
ness Of his ordered garments.
Life, that had seemed so simple, had
grown very complicated for Sidney.
There was her mother to break the
news to, and Joe. Harriet would ap-
prove, she felt; but these others! To
assure Anna that she must manage
alone for three years, In order to be
happy and comfortable afterward-
that was hard enough. But to tell
Joe that she was planning future
without him, to destroy the light in his
blue eyes-that hurt.
After all, she told X. first. One FRI
day evening, coming home late as
usual, he found her on the doorstep,
and Joe gone. She moved over hospi-
tably. The moon had waxed and waned,
and the Street was dark. The ycolored
man who drove Doctor Ed in the old
buggy on his daily rounds had brought
out the hose and sprinkled the street.
Within this zone of freshness, of wet
asphalt and dripping cutters, Sidney
sat. cold and silent.

a city street.

EXCELLENT TRAIT is CAUTION
Better to Be Sure Before You Move
Than to Have Occasion for
Vain Regrets.

Caution is the parent of safety. 1t Is
better to use caution in time than re-
grets too late. 1t is better to give the
mind some exercise in consideration
before beginning a new thing, remarks
the Milwaukee Journal. 1t is wise to
make friends slowly. Some people like
to boast of being $50 impulsive," and
think that this should be an acceptable
excuse for many failings. Impulse is
often a good thing, but it needs long
course of careful training before it
can be safely INDUCED. First impress

prove to be admirable in character.
Those who are impulsive in making
professions of friendship are not en-
tirely to be depended on to be perma-
nent or reliable. In giving way to a
strong liking or aversion one often
does injustice. Acquaintance is quite
as likely to show admirable as unlik-
able qualities. Often an aversion has
been changed to a deep and true
friendship. And, on the other hand,
some who appear admirable on first
meeting, prove otherwise. Do not
judge hastily on the impulse Of a mo-
ment. Acts done on the impulse of
the moment may cause repentance for
many year.

Use Dead And Down Timber
(By Public Safety Commission)

NBy Pubic Safety COmmlSS1On)
A very valuable suggestion comes
from one of Minnesota's very best
newspaper men, Mr.. Burt W. Day, of
Hutchinson. He writes the Commits
sion Of Public Safety, calling atten-
ton to the tremendous amount of
dead and down timber that is going
to waste in the timbered sections in
this state
In the face of an almost certain
shortage of coal before spring, it
would seem that extraordinary mea-
sures should be taken to make use of
this timber, and which may be of
great value if properly handled
In all communities there are many
people who can make use of this ap-
parently worthless material for fuel
in their kitchen ranges in place of
coal, or by people who are not
abundantly supplied with the worlds
goods, who cannot afford coal at al
most any price. The difficulty in OBJ
tanning permission from the owners
of timber tracts to gather this tim
Der, should be overcome by a desire
to assist our nation in outstanding
every resource and at the same time
assist those in the community who
will find it hard to provide them
selves with fuel even though it might
be available. Those who have al
ways been abundantly supplied with
coal will experience a sense of secur-
ity, with several loads of this sort of
fuel in the back lot. The greatest
value, however, would be in the fact
that it would supply a great num-
Der of families who are not in a posi-
ton to use more expensive fuel and
who would be eager to seize any OPP
pOrtunity that might be offered them
to obtain their winters fuel from
the neglected timber tracts of near
by farmers.
Organized effort can we'll be made
to good advantage in every cOmmuni-
ty, to see that those who can use
this sort of fuel in place of coal, are
provided with all that they can use,
or given an opportunity to secure it
for themselves. 1t will prove very
useful and economical if properly
handled.
Morris tribune., 1917-11-02
Holding Seed Wheat

In every community where spring
wheat was grown this year there are
farmers who are willing to hold
seed for sowing next spring, out they
do not feel that they should hold
the wheat through the winter and
sell it next spring for seed at the
government fixed price. 1t is not
necessary that they do so. 1t would
not be fair to expect it.
Any farmer who has good wheat
and can hold it for seed until next
spring is urged to do so. While a sale
for seed will not be guaranteed him
he will be allowed to sell on the
same basis as the seed dealer, name
ly at profit of not to exceed per
cent, or from twenty-five to thirty
cents bushel. There is no chance
of getting speculative profits but the
pay will be remunerative.
1t is desirable that farmers do this
in many communities where there
are not proper storage facilities to
keep wheat separate in elevators and
seed houses. Much can be done by
farmers to preserve the purity of
seed of good quality by keeping it in
their own bins until seeding time
The varieties preferred are Mar
quis, Scotch Fife, Bluestem, in the
order named. If special information
is desired it may be had from the
representative Of the Department of
Agriculture who has this work in
charge, Mr.. W. L. Oswald, 326 Flour
Exchange, Minneapolis, Mimi 1t is
hoped that farmers Will help to keep
good seed in the home community
for the sake of efficiency, economy
and increased acreage next year.

Frosted Potatoes Depress Prices

prepared by the Markets Division
of the State Food Committee for the
Public Safety Commission)
A congestion of cars of frosted
potatoes and potatoes not otherwise
up to grade at the larger receiving
points, has lowered paying prices in
many sections, owing to the de-.
pressed tone reflected by the moder-
ate paying strength on car loads, but
buyers have been backward in load
ing up with stock from districts that
are showing frost danger, and are
inclined to take western stock at a
shade higher than they will pay for
goods in this section in order to be
on the safe side. There are some
improvements in the car situation
The ruling of refrigerator lines
which insist on the loading of 900
bushels to the car, is working a
hardship at some points that are not
large producers and cannot market
over 500 to 500 bushels, but efforts
are being made to relieve the situa-
ton by the Markets Division of the
State Committee of Food Production,
and points where small lots only can
be shipped should be reported to the
marketing agent at the Midway
Transfer.
Paying prices to producers have
been lowered at many places by
| buyers who have no outlet and were
not particularly DESTROYS of securing
more goods owing to the car short
age. No. 1 white stock, sacked, by
the car, was quoted in Twin City
territory Saturday, October 27, at
$2.10 to 1920 per cwt., and red
! stock about 10 cents per cwt. lower.
Cabbage is bringing $40 to $23 per
ton. There is a good demand for
rutabagas, beets, and carrots, selling
around $1.15 per cwt.

Predicts Mild Winter

Chokio RevieW.-We are going to
have mild winter, at least it will
not be as cold as it was last winter
so an old settler tells uso. His opin-
ion is based upon the natural in
stinct of the muskrat, an animal
which he claims has no superior as
a natural weather prophet. This
fall, according to his observations,
the muskrats are not building large
houses, but instead are constructing
many medium sized houses in shall

Gates mild winter with much snow.

able Adonis and reinstate themselves
in the good graces of the girls. They
one and all agreed to act on the old
saying absence makes the heart grow
fOnder." The result speaks for itself.
One morning when the girls came
down to breakfast the butler an
nOunced that some of the boys had
gone fishing, some to a baseball match.
The only boy left at home was their
hero. They had him for breakfast,
1hey spent the morning with him, the
afternoon, and when dinner time came
he was still their only companion.
Long before the shadows of evening
came they found that Mr.. Archibald
was a good deal like fish for breakfast,
fish for luncheon and fish for dinner.
At the usual hour for dancing the pho
nOgraph was set going, and since there
was only the hero to dance with and
the girls soon tired of dancing with one
another they sat around and mOped.
The boys came in at 10 o'clock to
find all the girls retired to their rooms,
and Mr.. Archibald had taken the 9:15
train for home. In the morning the
girls pouted, while the boys talked Of
the enjoyable day they had spent as
stays.
For a few hours the moping of the
girls continued; then, when the boys
went out to the tennis courts together,
they were followed by a repentant
flock Of misses who had concluded that
five ordinary boys were preferable to
one AdOnis.

Peppermint.

The preparation of peppermint is es-
pecially an American industry. The
peppermint is cut when in bloom, like
hay, dried, placed in close wooden watts
and steamed. The oil cells burst, and
the oil passes upward with the steam,
which is condensed and conducted into
a receiver, where the oil rises and is
piped off. 1t takes about $50 pounds
Of dry peppermint to produce one
pound of oil. An acre Of land yields
from six to ten pounds Of oil, often
more, even as high as fifty pounds.
