Joseph Strut wrote his sports and
Pastimes of the People # England"
we'll over hundred years ago, and,
according to a traveller in modern
New England. they are still so used
in that part of the world. The trav-
eler tells of seeing two Maine farm

road in front Of a farmhouse. ''Tll
play Won a game of hoss-shoes." sug-
gested one. "I'll play you just one
game said the other. i've got
lot OF work to do today" So they be-
gan playing, and when the traveller
passed that way again late in the af-
ternoon they were still at it. They
had been playing horseshoes all day,
and the farmers wife confided to the
traveller. not altogether with admir-
alton, that they hadn't stopped even
for dinner.

Soma That La Qeathleaa.

The homeless bard Of home" John
Howard Payne, was born in New York
city, June 9, 1892, and his song,is the
of those which gained immediate pop
ularity, but enriched all who handled
it except the author. 1t came to be
written in this manner: While Charles
Kemble was manager OF the COvent
Garden theater. London, in 1923, he
bought quantity of Payne's writings,
among which was play entitled
"Clari the Maid of Milan" Payne
was almost starving In a garnet in
Paris, when he altered this play into
an opera and introduced into 1t the
words of "Home, Sweet Home" SO
tremendous was the immediate sue
cess that over 100000 copies were
sold during the first year. The great
Patti constantly sang it in this coun-
try when en- tour 60 years ago and
in fact it appeared for years on pro-
grams throughout Europe and the
United States

Ruskin's Eloquent Plea.

do not understand the feeling
which would arch our own gates and
pave our own thresholds, and leave
the church with its narrow door and
foot-worn sill; the feeling which en-
circles our own chambers with all man.
ner Of costliness, and endures the bare
wall and mean compass Of the temple.
l say this, emphatically, that the tenth
part of the expense which is sacrificed
in domestic discomforts and encum-
brances, would, if collectively offered
and wisely employed, build marble
church for every town in England !;
such a church as 1t should be a JOY
and a blessing even to pass near in
our daily ways and walks, and as it
would bring the light into the eyes to
see from afar, lifting its fair height
above the purple crowd Of humble
roofs.-Ruskin.

The Fidd,er's Bill.

The world contains a great many
people who are busy paying the I'D
dler. For some reason or anothT
they have neglected opportunities and
now they are trying to redeem the
time. Some are just plain fools and
they know it. Others are too dense
to know they don't know and it's i'm
possible to tell them. Others are just
mediocre people who have mussed
things up and now they are trying 10
iron them out. But it's all the saTss:
It's the present trying to correct the,
fouies that are past We call it pay
ing the fiddler. It's like going to
country dance, and then when you
have had all the fun you have to dig
down and pay the fiddler. good
many people have to pay the fiddler
because they got the notion they were
smarter than other folks

Will Report Best Patrons.

To stimulate interest in dairying
and to help the local creameries in
some Counties, the buttermakers have
reported regularly each month to some
central Office the names of all patrons
who receive more than $500 for their
butter fat delivered at the creamery.
For some time past it has been felt
by some of the leading dairy men and
others interested in dairying that this
would be a good practice to adopt in
Kandiyohi county. At a meeting of
the buttermakers of the county last
evening this matter was discussed, all
present we're willing to make the re-
ports and felt that same would be in
teresting and helpful, Reports to be
made once each month as soon as the
returns are in for the previous month.

One O'Clock.

The Dog Star and Aldebaran, point
ing to the restless Pleiades, were half
way up the southern sky, and between
them hung Orion, which gorgeous con-
stellation never burnt more wildly
than now, as it swung itself forth
above the rim Of the landscape. Castor
and Pollux with their quiet shine were
almost on the meridian; the barren
and gloomy square of Pegasus was
creeping round to the northwest; far
away through the plantation. Vega

the leaf1ess trees, and Cassiopeia's

Steel and Iron,

Steel is a kind of iron which can
easily be hammered out thin without
cracking and can be made extremely
hard by being heated and then cooled
quickly. It is different from ordinary
iron because of the amount Of carbon
in it. Wrought iron contains less car
bon than steel and so it cannot be
made so hard; cast iron contains more
and so is brittle. -, =

Italy has set prices on Italian grown

The 1919 prices were $446 for hard

heard of in Europa. 1t would spell ma
tional disaster. And at first thought
ii seems remarkable that it should be
true of the country which has 229,ool
miles of railroad as against 3l9,39l
miles for all the rest of the world put
together. and 10000 motor vehicles
as against approximately 100000 for
the rest of the world.
But we must remember that all this
great network of railroads and water
ways might as well not exist, so far as
the farmsr located five miles in the
country is concerned, unless he is able
to advantageously haul his produce over
that five miles to the nearest shipping
point. AS Secrtary Redfield recently
put it, You might build the railroads
up until they are ten tracks wide, but
YOU do not fully help the farmer ten
miles away to get his produce TO market
And you might fill the rivers with
steamers, and he may still bs isolated.
Motor cars and motor trucks are a
partial solution. But they are not
enough. To use them adVantageousy
requires good roads as well, over which
the farmer can haul his produce in
motor vehicles directly to the consumer,
where possible, or else to the nearest
shipping point. There never was a
sounder investmen in the world than
money; expended in the building Of good
roads The Romans had learned that
two thousand years ago, and they built
their roads so well that some Of them
are used yet.
Certainly one of the sur st ways to
