will on election day be absent in the

passed which will give the soldier boy
the right to vote without expense to

Let the Boy Choose His Own Career

Let the Boy Choose His Own Career.
If you, as the father, want your son
to be lawyer, and, on top of that,
your boy would really like to be a
lawyer, that is all we'll and good. But
if you want him to be a lawyer, and
he wants to be something else-an
architect, musician, or what not, you
are doing him an irremediable injury
when you insist on his studying law.
You are injuring him because you are
trying to mold his personality and
gifts into shape which is contrary to
nature. That is, you handicap him by
making him do something in which he
can take no pleasure; and work that
affords no pleasure is a trial which the
human soul cannot withstand without
paying big penalty.

Der, is intended, not only to provide
a man with the means of living, but

Bee Herding is Perilous.

When Don Evans volunteered to
act as assistant bee herder to Elmer
Farley he didn't realize what he was
going up against. He expected to
handle swarm of the buzzers as does
Herb Gates without gloves. So he
grabbed couple Of handfuls that had
swarmed on the limb of tree and
then dropped then-they were not
pleasant to the touch. Don expected
to get away with merely few stings
on his hands, but the bees chased him
into the big bog and caught him. A
whole battalion modified on his neck
and face, and when he returned to the
farm house he was sight to behold
his head was as big as an overgrown
pumpkin and he was as blind as a
bat. The next time Don goes bee
herding he will doubtless take Herb
Gates advice: "Don't get too familiar
with bees until you have cultivated
their acquaintance, which you can do
only by degrees"

The President Acted Wisely.

Congress did not pass the act ar
bitrarily fixing the price of wheat at
$40 in response to any widespread
demand from the farmers. It passed
it because it sunk the country's inter-
ests in the eager quest for votes.
Moreover, it passed this provision
with the full knowledge that the
president would veto it. In other
words, to catch votes it deliberately
added to the presidents enormous bur-
dens the wholly unnecessary one of
shouldering the responsibility for re-
fusing to tolerate farm profteering.
The raise in the price of wheat pro-
posed by congress would have added
two dollars a barrel to the price Of
flour. It would have imposed upon
the consumers Of this country and of

Latest War News.

A special from St. Paul this morning
is to the effect that the allies are
holding the Huns on the western front
in France, and in places are driving
them back. The last great offensive
Of the Huns is bound to fail-the
drive has already spent its force and
the allies lines are practically intact.
Thousands Of our American boys are
in the thick Of the fight and are giving
a good account Of themselves. The
great battle is still raging, but the
allies seem to be confident of the out
come the Huns shall not pass. The
brave Americans are manfully doing
their part in stemming the Hun onrush.

Soldier Boy Killed in Accident.

George Dewey Mcfarland, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Mcfarland, for
merly Of Mile Laos county but now Of
Albert Lea, died at Camp Devens,
Mass, as the result Of a motorcycle
accident on July IL. From such in
formation as is available it seems that
young Mcfarland was taking spin
on motorcycle when his machine
skidded and was struck by a street
car. He lived but a few hours after
the accident.
The body arrived here last evening
and was conveyed to the residence Of
Mrs. NJ. M. Briggs ian aunt of the
boy, and the funeral was held from
there at o'clock this afternoon, Rev.
W.. B. Milne officiating at the solemn
ties. Interment was in Oak Knoll
cemetery and the funeral was military
in character, veterans of the civil war
being in attendance and Boy Scouts
constituting guard Of honor. A
large number of relatives and civilians
were also present at the obsequies.
George Dewey Mcfarland DIETER
known as Dewey McFarland) was:
born in Milaca on February "a, 1885,.
On June l, 1917, he enlisted in the,
quartermaster's department of the
army and went into training at Jack
sonville, Fla, on December 10, Of the:
same year. From Jacksonville he was
transferred to Washington, D. c., for
further training, and was then sent to
Camp Devens, where he was promoted
to sergeant and where he met with the
accident which caused his death. He
is survived by his father, mother,
brother and sister besides numerous
other relatives.
Sergeant Mcfarland was a clean
cut, manly young fellow, patriotic and
loyal to the core. Although but 22
years of age he had advanced to the
position of instructor at Camp Devens,
his speciality being motorcycle and
bicycle work. He was very anxious to
go to France, but his services were of
such value that the military authori-
ties deemed it wise to keep him on
this side. 1t is to be regretted that
his life was taken in so tragic a way
and the blow is particularly heavy
one to his relatives, to whom heart
felt sympathy is extended by their
friends.
