ANIMAL TRAGEDY
STAGED IN IOWA WILDS.

Logan, Ia, June 4.-(Speclal.) "A
tragedy in animal life of interest to
students Of natural history occurred
on the S. L. Myers farm southwest
Of Logan when the mother raccoon
and one cub had been driven up a
tree. Mr.. Myers told the lad with
the gun to kill the old one, but to
save the young one for a pet. The
mother raccoon listened when the
man spoke. looked at the boy with
tn gun, and before he could shoot,
she caught UP and instantly killed
the baby raccoon, and submitted to
her fate.
Afterward two little raccoons were
captured, and though they were pref
ty shy at first, they soon learned to
extract warm milk from a bottle.
MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY"
FINALLY TAKEN ASHORE.
Sydney, N. S. w., June 4.-The
United States has twice refused to
permit Paul Freeman, an American
deported from Australia, to enter
America.
When the steamer Sonoma, from
San Francisco, May E, returned to
Australia with Freeman for the sec
ond time. he decided on a hunger
strike. This lasted a week, when
his condition became so serious a
public outcry was raised, with the
result that the Jumpers refused to
work and the crew threatened to
leave the ship. An attempt was
made Tuesday night to rush the
ship.
The position was becoming seri-
Gus when word was received that
Acting Prime Minister Watt had de-
ciGed to allow Freeman to disem-
bark so that his case might be IN
uu,red into. Freeman denies that
he belongs to the |. w. w. and that
his parents are German. T

sble. Can we look backward and see them 10
oct peace and we all want it, we must make
ourselves pleasant most Of thoughts Of yester-
day. We can build fairy places Of thoughts, It
we lived the right life, the life Of justice and
the straight road in all things. Bright fancles,
satisfied memories, faithful sayings, precious and
restful thoughts which can not disturb, nor pain
make gloomy, nor poverty take away, houses
bu;lt without hands for our souls to live IN, such
thoughts of yesterday bring sunshine and peace
The great thing of yesterday IS not 50 much
where we stood as in what direction we moved.
Did YOU laugh yesterday? It is cheap medicine,
Won know. Merriment is a philosophy not well
understood It is the sunny side OF life Il you
made some one happy yesterday, you made them
happy twenty years, hence, in memory. Happl-
ness and the sense of victory, yesterday are Tor
ali those who lived for conscience and duty and
the souls higher ideals. It is true that II you
knew whittier you were going yesterday the
world turned aside to let you pass. Above all
else YOU did not fulfill every duty Of yesterday
unless you fulfilled that of bringing little bit
of happiness into some life, no matter how small
it was. Did you try to do so? Il you brought
happiness into the life of another, some OF 1t
remained with you. If you kept your foot firmly
set in the way that it was at the moment you
have conquered Yesterday is one day about
which you should not wcrry.-Le Sueur News.

Twenty three citizens of the city of Rcd
wood Falls voted last week to move the coun-
ty seat from their home town to Wabasso
We can't figure out what town ought to do
with that kind of citizens, but those fellows
ought to at least be scolded by Bess Wilson.
-E. M Lawless
They are beneath our contempt! We wouldni
even waste good scold on them! They are the
lone representatives in our little city of that
worst of all sects-Home Town Disloyalists
There is no unpatriotism quite so unpatriotic al
that which will lead man to knife his own town
when he gets chance to do it when he thinks
he won't be caught. We have only one interest
in these fellows-and that is to learn the date
on which they are moving out of Redwood Falls
into the town that has their love. We can dc
without them nicely.

THE COMMON ENEMIES.

wuyHEN America was at war the people
NJ were urged to work, save and produce
w that the country might be strengthened
against the common enemy.
The appeal was not in vain. The people DID
work, save and produce, and so the enemy was
vanquished.
Today perils as great as any that Germany
at it's mightiest could offer threaten the nation.
The common enemies today are high prices,
shortage, failure of production to meet the need,
and the horde of dscontents and disturbances
that grow out of them.
Germany could not destroy America
The common enemies of today CAN destroy
America, and will if they are not fought and
conquered by an united people.
The appeal of war time is the appeal that fits
today. We can fight and overthrow our common
enemies if we work, save and produce
The people were not appealed to in vain IN
war time They are appealed to today, IN the
same spirit to drop dissensions and to join hands
to fight these common enemies, uglier and more
sinister than foreign Huns, that threaten them
and their country.
A united America met the war exigency and
conquered it.
A united America can meet the greater exlg-
ency of today and triumphantly conquer it.
AS a united American people worked, saved
and produced to win the war, so must they again
now, again united, WORK, SAVE AND PRO
DUCE to win the war against the common enc
mics that threaten them today-Duluth Herald.

DON'T FAIL TO BOOST.

7 F you fail to boost for the county fair you fail
to do your duty citizen of this commu-
: nifty. The county fair is promoter of bet
ter feeling among all the people, it advertises the
good things we produce, it brings people from
other counties. 1t helps in manifold ways to adj
vertise the community. If you never boosted for
the county fair this year would be good time
to commence. One way of being booster is to
take an exhibit fair would be failure with
out exhibits, hence one way of showing your
boosting ability would be in taking something
to add to the big show.

OLD LOVERS.

| love the old things best, don't you?
The old coat that so skillfully
My crooks and angles hides from view
And seems so truly part of me-
And, oh! I love the old shoes, too,
That know each toe, where each one plays;
And how do detest the new,
That mock me with their stiff backed ways.
And my old hat; how soft it fits
The time-Worn ridges of my brow,
How comfortably sure it sits
My grateful poll when tempests blow!
And when have to lay it by
Decrepit from long length of days,
And don the new. It's weeks ere I
Can look on it with tranquil gaze
My watch is old; its ancient works
MY father served and his before,
And now it goes in creaky jerks
It would have scorned in time of yore.
But when it hats I coax it on
And gentle it to tick anew;
almost feel if it runs down
For good and ALL that | shall, too!
/ love old houses, without keys,
Begabled gray and ivy grown;
They tell me all the tragedies
And triumps that their years have known.
I love old elms and maple trees;
They tell me all the lovers VOWS
And kisses whispered to the breeze
Through all the years beneath their boughs
I love old friends. the kindly smile,
The voice grown dearer day by day
The clasp that longer clings the while
Together we are growing gray.
The old sweet love! IT'S good to see
Her face each year more fond and true
AS we go hand in hand. All, mel
/ love the old loves best, don't you?

"At a recent special election at Comfrey
it was voted to dispose of the municipal cleo
trio light plant. It is understood that one
of the power companies, which operate in
the western part Of the state has guaranteed
the village service at low rate and the vot
ers decided that better service for less money
can be secured from large distributing COM
pany than from locally-operated plant -
Exchange
Nothing to it! Redwood Falls found out, dur
ing the high water of the early summer, just
what it was to depend upon an outside plant for
electric current and there was only one way to
characterize the service-it was rottenl For the
first time in several years industries depending
upon electricity for power were held up, the
"juice" ceasing to flow at the most inopportune
times. And there was no recourse with the
head Of the supply several hundred miles away
you could raise as much Of howl as you wanted
to and get what satisfaction you could out Of
that you certainly didn't get the current! Com
frey is making mistake and so are the other
towns which are making the change. Service
which doesn't serve is the most expensive service
in the world in spite of the rate per whateyer-it
is-current- is-measured-by We are advocates al
ways Of local control for most things and most
certainly for local control Of the electric current
Redwood Falls service is plenty good enough
for Us and we challenge any town which is get
ting its current from outside sources to show Vi
anything nearly As efficient.

OUR YESTERDAYS.

Yesterday has much to do with US. Possibly as
we moved along we made light remark that

some heart, intentionally or otherwise. It is
from the yesterday Of life, our own yesterday,

A good way to conserve ice is not to use it.
A good many Mankato families have gotten
along very nicely this summer without any
ice. They have not only saved an expensive
ice bill. but have helped conserve so that the

for an ice box, if you cover the articles with

WHAT AMERICA BRINGS.

- OMMENTING on the American threat to
Carranza of change in policy and the
possibility of American intervention IN
Mexico, Manual Carpio, correspondent for the
Heraldo de Mexico says: eve want only one
kind of intervention from youyour books, your
higher thoughts, your ideals of liberty, your
aspirations for a better world and your friend
ship
Could Mexico use these higher values, if she
had them? Mexico's first need is for social or
der and security of life and property. This is
the cornerstone of any progress that may be
possible.
It is Americas duty to protect her citizens IN
Mexico, and if intervention is necessary to this
end, it must come. It might prove the best thing
for Mexico by opening the door to the higher
things that America can bring to her.
Better agriculture and education, organized
liberty and books are exactly what America has
brought to her wards elsewhere, and what she
can give to Mexico.
Americans may well be proud that the United
States, in her dealings with dependencies, has
shown herself free from Interior motives and has
striven to plant the seeds Of sef-help, self-con-
troll and prosperity. In every one of these de-
tendencies there is growing up the form and
substance of free state with democratic ideals
of its own It may be Mexico's turn now.-Min-

julius A. Schmahl, who is credited with being
an active candidate for governor, is making some
strong talks around the state. His speech at New
Ulm last week was straight from the shoulder
and shows that julius has a clear grasp of So
cialsm. When all the people understand social
ism in its true character and purpose there will
be an awful slump in some of the camoufaged
branches of socialism now fourshing in parts of
this country.-Olivia Times.

SPEED UP.
TH HERE are too many people holding back
just now It is one of the greatest causes

THERE are too many people holding back
just now. It is one of the greatest causes
: of the high cost of living.
Too many businessmen holding back in their
expansion and development plans.
Too many farmers cultivating less land than
they could cultivate, or cultivating their acres
less intensively than they could, or raising few
er CATTLE sheep and hogs than they could.
Too many army men holding back from accept
ing jobs because the jobs offered are not quite
good enough to suit them.
Too many miners and factory workers and
farm hands and other kind of workers doing less
work than they're able to do, and in many cases
less than they're paid for.
Too many unions asking for shorter hours,
when their hours are already about as short as
any energetic and patriotic citizen has any right
to expect in the present state of affairs.
The great battle-cry of the war years was
"speed up production" The nation speeded up.
Nearly everybody did his part. That is mainly
what won the war.
The need this year is almost as urgent as it
was last year and the year before. The war
losses must be made up-the losses in wealth,
and the losses in life which produces wealth.
During the war the world consumed more than
it produced. Now it must produce more than
it consumes for while, to make things even.
When that is accomplished it will be time to
take things easy.-Mankato Review
