sacrifice is required, commerce requires
a sacrifice; people at willing sacrifice
build palaces for kings and magnificent
capitols and halls for legislators, a sac
rifice which fosters obedience to law
and authority. Is it not more fitting
that willing sacrifice be made in the
erection of suitable temples dedicated
to God and religion. He then showed
how our Lord brought salvation to the
house of the rich Zaccheus, who was
the chief of the publicans, because
Zaccheus brought great sacrifice by
giving half of his goods to the poor,
and in case of wrong restored four
fold. So the people brought this sacri-
flee for our Lord who dwells in the tab
ernacle and for the salvation of their
souls. This sacrifice, then, brings a
great reward for eternity and fosters
obedience to God and his church where
is found salvation for the soul.

Maland Baby Doing Well.

On page one in column one we have
an article taken from the Cresco Plain
Dealer regarding the peculiar accident
that befell the six months old son of
MIR. and Mrs. E. E. Maland last week.
Yesterday we saw the boy on Water
street in company with his mother. He
seemed to be doing we'll and his mother
said he showed no i'll effects. 1t seems
that he took the safety pin off his
stocking and swallowed it in a minute
while his mother was regulating the
draft of stove. He was taken to
Cresco where the X-ray located the
safety pin about to enter his stomach.
His parents brought him from Cresco
to Decorah, where they now are stay

Apostolic times, solemnly dedicated
their churches to Almighty God.

In one of the passages from the description Of
the raid made by General Sullivan on the Five
Nations in his memorable punitive expedition dur
ing the Revolutionary war. 1t Is set forth that
among the rows Of corn were found %ucumber
and watermelons so delicious that the raiders sat
down to eat Of them, even though the hour was
two o'clock In the morning. The Indians intro
d'ced melons of all kinds from southern climes,
and by extreme care adapted them to northern
temperatures.
1t was after the advent of Columbus that the
Indians of this continent became proficient In the
cultivation OF the Irish potato. The tuber was
brought from the Andean heights by Spanish ad-
venturers and was introduced in the Southern
part Of the United States, Before the American
Revolution, however, the Indian experts were de-
veloping many varieties of 1t and the Iroquols
were especially proficient as growers Of the root,
OF which there are about 200 varieties. Potato
meal was originally an Indian product. Vans and
sweet potatoes were raised In abundance.
The Indian farmer also raised many kinds OF
vegetables and was experimenting with many
others before the advent Of the European races.
