The fates appear to be angry at the
Vernon county fair, if we rate its at
titude in weather furnished US, for
shift as we have, from one u another
time, still the unfavorable conditions
pursue and plant a rain season, with
scarcely an exception, and we were
the victims of more i'll weather than
usual for last weeks far dates which
caused officers to extend the fair
through Saturday. Tuesday was cool
but hopeful, Wednesday came in with
an all-night rain, continuing at times
during the day, making it most dis
agreeable. Thursday was not so bad
but extremely sloppy on the grounds,
yet reasonably good crowd was
present.
Fair authorities may work their
heads off the whole year planning
for big show and time, a night and
day rain smash their fondest antici-
pations and turn; financial success
into a deficit. Notwithstanding the
extreme unfavorable surroundings, it
is hoped that the financial side will
not be short, but that cannot be ac-
curately determined till receipts and
disbursements are balanced. Gate
and grand stand receipts We're $4,503.-
65. The largest gate receipts were on
Friday, $4,000. 1t was expected that
Saturday would be as great, but in
stead only $37l25. The crowd is var
iously estimated on Friday at 5000 to
1900. There were believed to be
1000 autos on the grounds. Conces-
sion receipts were $1,000; entry fees
$500, making total receipts of about
$1,000, or the largest in the society's
history
This was destined to be Vernon
eounty's largest and hest fair, every
thing pointing to that end In all de-
partments there were exceptional ex-
hibits, Notwithstanding the discourage
in surroundings of weather and roads
Work on the farms is so well closed
up that it was to have been holiday
week;a time to get together for pleas
ure and display of the years achieve
ments.

Inundated by the wretehed lighting

Fennimore Times: 1t is probably
advisable to distribute the payment of
the soldier bonus oven term of years
as contemplated by calling the coun-
ty board in special session. The board
has that option under the law. The
annual payments would then be not
sufficiently large to make any appre-
ciable difference in the taxes. The
bonus collected in taxes all in one
yearwould make perceptible increase.

Tissue is the Doctors name for
body cells.
It is to our bodies what coal is
to an engine.
Every day we burn up certain
amount of tissue.
Therefore new tissue must be
built to take the place Of the lost
fuel.
The food we eat makes this new
tissue and in a healthy person
gives enough fuel to replace the
loss.
People get thin and s'run down"
because they do not get enough
nourishment from their food to
supply the needed fuel.

Father Johns Medicine soothes

GODS INVITATION TO YOUNG
MEN OF CHARACTER.

Suffer little children to come unto
Me-"
One day long, long ago, Jesus was
walking in the midst of His disciples; !;
the little children ran to meet Him,
The disciples, fearing lest the Master
be disturbed, wished to send them
away; but Jesus rebuked them, say
ing: Suffer the little ones to come
unto Me-. He caressed them, pressed
them to His heart-tenderly manifest
ed His love for them.
From that day childhood has been
elevated, sanctified, as it were, in the
eyes of all good men. None love Jesus
who do not love children as Jesus
loved them. Whosoever follows the
doctrine of the Saviour, studies the
ways Of the little ones that he may
initiate their virtues, and that he may
also assist in preserving them from
the many spiritual dangers by which
they are surrounded. The solemn
lesson given by the loving Saviour
has resounded down the ages, i'm
planting in the hearts of countless
souls the holy and Heaven-born de-.
sire to labor for the welfare of youth.
To instill in their minds and hearts
love and desire for all that is holy.
This is prominently the life-work Of
the Christian Brother. He has set
himself to his noble and God.like mis-
sion in the morning of life, knowing
that to devote oneself to- the educa-
tion Of the young is to prepare gen.
erations Of the elect for Heaven.
The path of the Christian may be
strewn with difnculties. but If he has
received Christian education, he
meets them with the spirit Of the
true soldier, undismayed. To ft boys
for this and the future life is the aim
Of the Christian Brother, the lover
and real friend Of youth. For more
than two centuries the Christian
Brothers have been engaged in the
work Of education. Millions OF boys
Of every nationality have learned from
these Christian teachers the true aim
Of life and the beauty and reward Of
virtue. These boys become men, they
embrace various professions; become
employers d. arc employed IN work

Back to civilian life the soldiers
and sailors of the national service are
being daily welcomed by their former
associates and friends. The hand
grasp they receive from and extend
to their old friends and co-workers
is warmer and stronger than before,
now that they have passed through
the practical test of loyalty and sac
rifice. They have become truly our
"amiei usque ad aras," men who ever
stood ready for the supreme sacrifice
for their fellow countrymen.
Among the Minneapolitans who
have recently returned from the serv-
ice is Eugene ]. Culhane, Esq, young
member of the Hennepin County bar,
whose picture is shown above. Mr..
Culhane volunteered for service short
ly after the American entry into the
world war and was assigned to duty
in Company A of the 18th Machine
Gun Battalion, Sixth Division, COM
manded by Brigadier General Irving.
The division was quartered at Camp
Wadsworth, South Carolina, and Pri-
vate Culhane by reason of his care
full attention to his military duties
was soon raised to the rank of SER
geant in his company, which was
quartered at Columbus Barracks.
Like his comrades, Sergeant Culhane
was itching to get chance to carry
out into actual warfare against the
Huns the lessons he had learned at
camp handling machine guns, but the
armistice cut of this eager hope, and
about the end of the year the order
came for mastering out.
Sergeant Culhane returns to the
practice of his profession with mind
and body strengthened by the vigor-
Gus discipline of army life. He has
lost dozen or more pounds in avoir-
dupois, but his clear eyes and healthy
complexion bear evidence Of the
efficacy of the war regime in build
ing men up to their full capacity and
activity. "Gene," as he is familiarly
known among his associates is one
of the ,ablest as we'll as, the most
popular of the young lawyers Of the
Twin Cities, who predict for him
rapid advancement in his profession
because of his excellent legal attain
ments and trustworthiness.
