In solving farm-labor difficulties,
more horses, larger implements and
power machinery play an important
part. II two horses, which have been
driven singly by two men. are COM
bined into a team driven BY one man.
the efficiency Of the horses Is a. great
or greater than before. and one mans
time Is saved. The two-horse turning
plow Is In comomn use In all parts Of
the country but except on small farms
It nearly always will be profitable to re-
place the two-horse plow by larger
one. Four horses can pull a two-bot-
tom plow as easily as two can pull
single bottom Of corresponding size.
The two-bottom plow enables a farm
er to do what is generally the heav-
lest work Of the year with half the
help that would be required If single
bottom plows were used. In hot wealth
or or where the plowing Is hard, five
or even six horses will sometimes be
necessary to keep the plow moving
steadily and at good rate Of speed.
Flowing With Tractors.
Experienced tractor users say they
can do Just as good blowing with a
tractor as they did with horses, OF
even better. and three or four-plow
tractor enables a farmer who has more
plowing than can be done with the
largest horss-drawn plow further tc
increase the amount Of work which
one man can do. One man with three
plow tractor usually covers q nttli
more ground a day than three mel
with single plows, and one man with {

To Retain Friends.

To retain friends Of the right sort
means that one must prove friend OF
similar caliber. But on the other hand,
II a girl or woman Is influenced only
by display (Which at best is an empty,
shallow affair." she cannot hope to
hold the sincere regard of persons
who In truth are worth while. The
really level headed girl will cling, fast
to the honest friends of other less
palmy days-berhaps to the friends
who make no display but who are ster-
ling through and thrOugh.-Exchange.

four-plow tractor does more than two
men with two-bottom horse-drawn
plows. The tractor works Just as
well In hot weather. and II desired can
be worked "a hours day with two
or three shifts Of men-a big advan-
tage over horse-drawn outfits.
The spike-tooth harrow is an imple-
ment Of comparatively light draft, and
sometimes It Is possible to put an ex-
ira section on the average harrow,
thereby increasing considerably the
ground covered without the addition
Of any horses to the team. On farms
where two two-horse harrows are used
1t Is frequently possible to combine the
two harrows. hitch the four horses as
one team. and operate II with one man,
thereby releasing the second man for
other work.
Use Of Disk Harrow.
The disk harrow, both single and
double, is found In a wide range Of
widths. and for from two to eight
horses. The use of q disk harrow
drawn by two horses is not advisable
unless only two horses are available
for power and the amount Of disking
to be done Is small. A fourhorse disk
does twice as much work as two
horse disk. without the same expendi.
ture Of man labor.
The use Of a gang plow drawn By
four or more horses, and Of big Inn
plements for narrowing, rolling and
dragging, enables one man to prepare
for planting In a given time practically
twice as much land as would be posi-
BILE If he used the traditional two
horse method.

SHAME ON MINNESOTA,

Minnesota is preparing to raise a
larger crop for American prisons than
to help out in the food shortage. The
state Socialist party has nominated
J O. Bentall for governor, and adopt
ed resolutions in convention indoors
ing the policies Of Russian Bolsheviki,
besides pledging support to the 100
l. w. w. members now under indict-
ment at Chicago on charges of sedi-
ton. Bentall was the Socialist can
didate for governor two years ago,
and is now out on bail waiting for a
new hearing after being sentenced to
year in Jail for obstructing the
military draft. The Bolsheviki are
never entirely happy unless there is
a Jail behind or before them with
the doors opening inward and always
ready to engulf them.-Worcester,

THE BOY NEXT DOOR.

(By Will M. Cressy)
l didn't vote for Wilson; I never
liked him much;
The golden pinch-nosed glasses gave
sort of dudish touch.
l didn't like his methods-disliked
his friends still more
But one thing that has changed me
THE BOY NEXT DOOR.
My life's been pretty happy, I've had
lot of joys,
There's been just one draw back; I
never had no boys,
But I've got little daughter, and
| know she has store
Of love and trust, and longing for
THE BOY NEXT DOOR.
But when the fateful day arrived
that we knew we'd got to fight,
| forgot the way l voted, for our
President was right.
I couldn't go to battle; I'm too old,
and stiff and sore,
But the first one that enlisted was
THE BOY NEXT DOOR.
And by God, Pm right behind him,
with every cent I've got,
To buy him food and shelter and
powder, guns and shot,
And if God will just watch DER him
and send him back once more,
I expect that I'll be daddie to
THE BOY NEXT DOOR.
And there's lots of us old fellows, too
old to go and fight,
And with no sons to represent US
and battle for the right,
But we can give our money as we
never did before,
And love-and hope-and courage to
THE BOY NEXT DOOR.

A NOVEL SCHEME FOR
GETTING BOOZE SUPPLY

The story as told to us is that a
man got on the train at Amboy last
Saturday, went into the smoker and
announced in more or less stentorian
tones that there was federal officer
on the train, and that all those who
had any liquor in their possession
had better dump it overheard before
the train crossed the Blue Earth
county line into Faribault county, as
the officer would make a search and
arrest all violators of the law.
And thereupon, windows were has
tily opened and bottles and TASKS of
all kinds and descriptions were hurled
out onto the right f-way, into the
snow banks. There was a great and
hurried movement to get rid of "Old
Crow" and all other brands on the
hip and in the grip. The fellow who
sounded the warning is snid to have
gotten off at Winnebago. And we are
told that a confederate of his drove
out from Amboy, looked along the
track. and picked up lot of booze.
His harvest was easy, and he is said
to have gathered enough to cause a
flock of pink elephants and baby-blue
snakes to be seen by any one sub
ject to the disease known as the cd.
u.s." Looks as if someone were sit
ting up nights to hatch plans to put
something over one someone else

GRANT MILLER VISITOR HERE;
MAY RUN FOR CONGRESS-

A. Grant Miller was motor arrival
on his return to Reno after attending
to legal business in Battle Mountain
He said last night that he may an.
nounce himself as a Republican can
didate for congress, although he had
planned not to become a candidate
from Socialistic to Republican politi-
cal faith. With apparent sincerity, he
said: II did not change from a So-
cialist to a Republican to get a job
My reasons were far more serious
than that"
While ON the road near Battle
Mountain, Mr.. Miller nearly ended his
political and every other career. He
was driving along at a good rate of
speed when he suddenly came to n
hairpin curve in the road, with a steep
drop if the turn wasn't made or the
road missed. He realized he couldn't
possibly make the turn at the rate of
speed at which he was travelling. so
rather than go off the embankment
sidewise, thereby being sure to turn
the car over several times. he turned
the wheel and went over with the car
headed straight ahead-the only pos
sible chance he had to escape. After
hair-raising ride of seventy-five or
hundred yards the car came to
standstill, unharmed, and after an
hours work to get back on the road,
the journey was continued.
Mr.. Miller resumed his journey to
Reno this morning.

SOUR ORDERSv-WRITTE In
1851 BY JULIA WARD HOWE

Weave no more silks, We Lyons looms.
To deck our girls for gay delights;
For the red flower of battle blooms
And solemn marches fill the nights.
Weave but the flag whose bars today
Droop heavy DER our early dead,
And somber garments, coarse and
grey.
For orphans that must earn their
bread.
And ye that urge the war of words
With mystic fame and subtle power,
Go, chatter to the idle birds,
Or teach the lesson of the hour,
Ye Sibyl Arts, in one stern knot
Be all your offices combined;
Stand close, while Courage draws the
lot,
The destiny of humankind!
And if that destiny could fail,
The sun should darken in the sky;
The eternal bloom of Nature fail,
And God and Truth and Freedom
die!

ACTION FOR FIRE PROTECTION

Property owners whose holdings
extend back on the alley behind the
American theatre. Overland hotel and
Huston-Grandin building, ETC.. evi-
IDENTIFY believe in safety first, so they
are installing electric lights in that
alley. The same idea should take
root all over town. These dark pas

be dispensed with. Nothing should be
neglected which makes for the safe
