HEARS HIS WIFE PREACH.

ovsrworksd Minister'S Place Taken by
Spouse, Congregation 10 Pleased.
Chicago.-Most married men hear SER
mons and are glad they are delivered
in private. But the Rev. o. Fairlee
Jordan, pastor Of the Evanston Chris
tian church, probably is one Of the few
men who ever sat back In peace and
comfort listening to a public preach
ment by their wives.
Mr.. Jordan faced the task OF "dou-
BILE header" after week OF nightly
sermoning. He was aweary. His wife
sympathized. "I'll take your place In
the pulpit this evening" she offered.
She did It not only to friend husbands
satisfaction, but TO the pleasure Of an
overflow congregation.

PUT ELEPHANTS TO WORK.
Germans Using Big Beasts For Hauling
In Berlin Streets.

Berlin.-Of the extraordinary sights
seen In the snow blocked streets Of
Berlin the employment of huge work
ing elephants for traffic purposes is
certainly the strangest. The animals
belong to circus, and every morning
they may be seen on their way draw
ing heavy carts loaded with iron boil
ers, each weighing $4,000 pounds.
No eight horses would be sufficient to
move these huge wagons. but to the gi-
gantic pachyderms 1t seems as childs
play. If they find an auto bus stuck in
a snowdrift, with painting, exhausted
horses trying to pull it out, the working
elephant lends friendly forehead, and
in trice the stranded vehicle is afoat
again.

Allan realized that this must be the cru

with fever-burning eaeerness he urged his
linpinG men to greater speed chafed at
each delay, constantly examined the hori-

Horde which in it's venomous hate had
brought this anguish and disaster on his
people.
Just a little past o'clock a cry suddenly
burst from Zangamou, who had left the line
during pause to look for water in a near
by hollow.
Stern heard the mans hoarse voice un-
mistakably resonant with terror. To him
he ran.

for his tongue was parched and swollen.

Stern recoiled. Shocked though he was

The others came hobbing. When they

Allan realized that he must not let in

he commanded immediate burial of the

They therefore dug shallow grave in

laid their companion TO rest. over the

Red Cross Active.

The Red Cross was much in evil
dence this year. Soliciting among the
people of the city made it possible to
have a refreshment booth on the
grounds which was we'll patronized at
al times. The booth was donated by
the Fair association.
The Red Cross committee wish to
thank all those who by their dona-
lions and labor assisted in making the
venture a splendid success. The
stand was decorated with American
flags and Red Cross banners, while
the girls from the Home School were
costumed as Red Cross nurses. Sand
witches, coffee, pop, milk and all the
necessities of the fair time refresh
ment stand were served. The net
receipts for the Red Cross totalled
$3.50. 40. Mrs, Fay w. Sprague
was chairman Of the commit
tee in charge, assisted by Miss har-
riet Erwin. The Home School girls
who assisted at the grounds were Mis-
ses Ruth Skinner, Hazel Crittenden,
Janice Giberson, Dorothy Williams,
Eleanor Satter, Ellen Haugeriord and
Florence Julien.

hibits were discussed to some length.
However, it is impossible to pass by
without word. There is not county
in the state that could produce such
building or such an exhibit made
possible in such way. Only a few
years ago the rural school exhibit was
a pitiful little affair tucked away in
an obscure corner of the Sank Centre
school exhibit building. Not that the
rural schools were sighted, but the
modern fever of progress had not yet
seized the country communities. Then
the wave started until, growing stead
lily until this year, it has reached such
proportions that an entire building was
none too large. Every department fol-
lowed in city school was shown as a
product of the country school, When
asked which exhibit he considered best
Supt. Boerger hesitated a moment and
then took his little group of sight-seers
to the map section. There row upon
row of maps stretched half way down
the length of the building. All colors,
sizes, kinds and shapes, yet symmetric-
al and oddly beautiful. There were clay
maps, salt maps, and relief maps done
in crayOn, so perfect that one could not
tell the kind of work on one from an
other, and the critics could not but
agree that Mr.. Boerger's choice was
right

Public School BUILDING,

On account of the removal of the
rural school exhibits to the new build
ing, the public school exhibit was not
as large as usual. Yet every depart
ment was excellent and nothing was
sighted. Moreover, there were new
features which caused much favorable
comment. One was the kindergarten
exhibit. Last year Sank Centre ven-
tured forth into the mysteries of kim
dergartening. The results of it's great
success was feature to be proud Of
One corner of the east room was given
over to the "Cold Pack Canning Meth
od' demonstrators. The room was al
ways full of interested learners who,
without doubt, profited. The work
was in the hands of Supt. Earl Spring.
er, of the agricultural department, and
the results of his canning showed that
he was master of the art. He was as.
sisted by Misses Olive Minette, Mil
dred Calkins and Esther Borgmann
This same team are to compete at the
state canning contest which is on to-
day Thursday at the state fair
Twenty counties are in the contest
The winning team is to go to Sioux
City, Iowa, at a later date when the
national contest will take place. Judg
ing from the specimens shown, the
home team stands a good show.

Although the fair association always
secures good attractions they were
particularly fortunate in their choice
this year. The Calvin sisters, with
their one lone man, did bicycle act
that was unusual in its presentation
Rarely does one see several attractive
girls get away with an equally at
tractive act. They did not attempt
any hair-raising feats, but each stunt
was worked out with precision ana
accomplished with polish. The star
was an agile slip of a girl who de-
lighted the grandstand from the be
ginning of her act to the end.
The Delavan Brothers were a JOY
to behold. There was nothing new
about their stunts, but there was a
lack of that vulgar display OF muscle
which so many acrobats affect. There
was nothing but sensation OF pleas
IRE as each interested spectator
watched the act The part that was
remarkable was the ease and grace
with which they carried out their pro-
gram. Their second act was clown
stunt, which, while poor excuse 1or
comedy, was clean and served its pur-
pose.

"Made in Stearns County,"

This year Stearns county outdid it.
self in offering made in Stearns coun-
ty'' articles. Just outside the Sank
Centre building was the Pau Brothers
jack, recently invented, manufactured
by these gentlemen at Freeport, and
is rapidly becoming famous. This
Jack was a mecca for all farmers and
proved it's worth.
Inside the building was the Hoehle
milking machine, manufactured by a
ST. Cloud concern. This is something
new but is profting by a good start.
In the same building was the Pan
motor car, which is the latest sensa-
ton of the county. This car was ma
5urally the pet and showed off, con-
tinually during all three days. These
three inventions are all manufactured
in this county, which is somewhat
more than good many counties of
like qualifications can claim.
