Victory Gardening ENCOURAGED.

Victory gardening is to be cncour

United States railroad administration

rector Of the agricultural section, the
divisional agents have been instructed
to do what they can to promote this
garden movement throughout the
country. Posters have been sent by
the commission to these agricultural

LOOKING TO CITY'S FUTURE
When RemoIding Is in Order, People
Should Profit From Mistakes
Made In the Past.

The city Of the future will 60 more
control more, and forbid more than the
city Of today; and precisely because it
will be larger and more complicated
Its government will have to be organ
lied in a more orderly and compact
fashion. Nearly all the recent char
ter changes concentrate authority, Ell
ther in the hands Of the mayor or Of
the So-called governing commissions.
1t may be that the city of the future
will become too large and attempt too
much. Some think this point has been
reached already.
The American cities, flexible in theIy
methods, should always be free to
adopt any measures, within the limits
of law and justice, that promise to
benefit their inhabitants. a while ago
the fashion was to Shrug our shoulders
and turn our backs on the problem Of
municipal government. Today we are
beginning to see in the rcmOlding Of
our cities Il great and golden oppor.

Planting Nut Trees.

Most farms have little rough
ground along the bank of Il creek. or
some other place, that cannot be culti-
waited.
Hickory ana black walnut timber is;
getting scarce and high; and such
trees do well in those locations.
If when the ground is soft in the
winter or spring a boy will take n
brGom stick and punch n hole here and
there two or three inches deep and
drop in hickory nut or black walnut
and press down the dirt with his foot
in a few years those unSiGhtly places
will be covered with an attractive
grove, which quite a while later will
he valuable timber.

No Horses, Only Tractors
Are Used to Work 100000
Acres of Indian Farm Land

Wheat will be harvested next fah
from one Of the worlds largest farms
comprising about 100000 acres of In
dian lands in Montana and Wyoming.
On this huge farm not a horse will
be used. Instead, large tractors capable
Of turning over large quantities Of
prairie sod were purchased. In all SO
of these machines are now the prop
erty Of the corporation, and the plow-
Ing record for last summer was more
than one acre minute for the work
Ing time. On one day 1880 acres were
turned and broken.
OF this big tract, about $4,000 acres
Of irrigated land have been plowed
and seeded, and the remainder it Is an
nOunced will be cultivated during the
coming summer.
The land Is located on the Crow,
Blackfeet and Fort Peck reservations
In Montana and the Wing river reser-
walton in Wyoming. To make this
land productive a corporation with $2,.
100000 capital was organized last
spring, when Thomas d. Campbell, a
North Dakota farmer, conceived tho
idea Of cultivating the thousands OF
acres Of the Indian lands in Montana
and Wyoming.
Campbell lacked capital. but OBJ.
taincd the approval and assistance OF
the secretary Of the interior, Franklin

leading New York bankers. The cor.

suits When Proper Plans Are
Made for the Future.

To have any plars for the whole city
on which all Its people may unite Is a
great gain. We can hardly conceive Of
any citizens starting to build house
without any plan for the building. But
1t never seems to occur to all the citi-
zens in starting or developing any
town or city to have plan worthy Of
that larger home which every town
and city is, on which to lay it out or
build 1t up. So towns and cities are
built in go-as-you-please way. They
seem to be thrown together ut the
start and run up haphazard as they
grow. Their future seems to be al
ways out of sight and out of mind.
Buildings are crowded together with
out space for sunlight and fresh air

spaces If any are left for the chill
c1ren's play and the peoples recreation,
for thoroughfares or parks, for resi-
dence purposes reserved from the in
VaSion of factories, railway tracks and

or flowers or trees. Provisions for
such common dccencieS, cOnveniences
comforts, healthfulness and pleasure
are generally aftcrthoughts, which cost
enormously more than to provide them
by planning far ahead. This painless

What Do You Know?

The wisest man in the world knows
only a tiny fraction of what there is
20 ne learned, and the mass of human
knowledge, painfully acquired and
handed on since our far-off ances-
tors came down out of the trees, is
only a faint glimmer in the midst of
the dark unknown. Much of the un-
known is unknowable; little of it,
the human mind laboriously takes
possession of as centuries pass. Most
of us are amazingly ignorant. We are
like the classic example of the school
children, coming their books, who
couldn't tell what kind of wood their
desks were made out of. Actually, we
are afraid of seeming to know much
inside of the trodden ways; we des.
pise the "high-brow." And at the
same time, how contemptous we are

The man who has stopped learning

west For years he has been one of
the most active members OF the De-
corah Drum Corps. He was one of its
members at the time they carried
away the worlds championship at
contest in Chicago. One of the
members of the Drum Corps In speak
ing in its behalf, said many warm
words of gratitude for Mr.. Lomen.
I Mr.. H. o. Watrud, our County
Agent, was called on in behalf of the
Farm Bureau. Among other things
he called attention to the significance
of Mr.. Lomen's work in connection
with the organization and further
ance of Farm Bureau work in Winnie
shiek county. Since large percent
age of farmers present were Farm
Bureau members it was gratifying
to them to know that the first
president of this organization had
been instrumental in placing the
Farm Bureau on good working
basis to the end that it is bound to
have a successful and useful career
for time to come.
While the surprise was 4 genuine
one to Mr.. Lomen, it is needless to
say that the blessings and the many
encouraging recognitions to Mr.. and
Mrs. LOmen were even more so. In
their modest career of hard work and
perseverance they have never before
been made to realize that their lives
Had been one of so much service. In
few closing remarks, Mr.. Lomeu
fittingly thanked the assemblage for
the happy day which they had

The visitors brought with them
an elaborate repast which was spread
before everybody during the noon

On Sunday, September eth, at high

OF o. 0. Lomen on Orchard Hill
Farm, in surprise on Mr.. Lomen
The surprise was arranged through
the auspices of the Nordness Tele-
phone Company and consisted Of
several short speeches and a good
variety of selections by the DEBORAH
Drum Corps.
Nearly nineteen years ago the
Nordness Telephone Company was
organized for the purpose of afford
ing telephone service to farmers in
the vicinity of Nordness. For eight
cen years Mr.. Lomen has served in
the capacity as president in this COM
pany. On account of failing health,
at the last annual meeting, he was
forced to withdraw whereupon Mr..
Herb Waters was elected his success
sor Mr.. Waters gave timely recognf-
ton to the valuable service which
had been rendered during the pion-
eering years of this telephone COM
pany and of the valuable services
which the company has furnished it's
constituency. Mr.. Waters said that
this telephone company now extends
over the entire southeast one-fourth
of Winneshiek county-even into
Postville. He manifested the signi-
ficance of Mr.. Lomen's business
ability in connection with this work
during years which were very trying
for any new adventure, especially
the telephone business.
Rev. Kvammen of the Springfield
church opened the meeting with a
few warm words, expressing the
gratitude of his constituency to Mr..
Lomen and to his co-worker, Mrs.
Lomen.
