meeting, This is a week later Fnan

Proved Its Worth.
During the two years that the
Blue Earth County Farm Bureau has
been in existence it has more than
proved its worth TO Blue Earth coun-
iy Both County Club Leader Coe
and County Agent Benedict have
worked hard to make the work eff
fective and bring about the greatest
possible results. Young people and
farmers in all parts OF the county
have felt the benefits tof their eff
orts, and the farm bureau is deserV-
ing of the support of every farmer
in the county.
The Blue Earth County Farm Blu
reau is fortunate in that it it is sup
piled with two men to carry on the
work of this county, namely coun-
~ club leader and county agent. This
farm bureau is the only one in the
state having a full time county club
leader and therefor ii should receive
double the support of the county
that other farm bureaus receive from
iheir counties.
Hundreds of boys and girls in this
county during the last two. years have
been led TO take an interest in their
farms and home and have taken de-
light in learning and practicing bet
Ter methods of farming and home
making.
The Beneficial Results.
Farmers all over the county have
generally felt the beneficial results
of having county agent in the
ycounty who is trained agrcultur-
Al leader Seed corn as we'll as 9TH
err seed has been secured and tested,
llSzeetoe.n.sze4sEenizz perfected,
hog cholera and other livestock di-
,seases checked, and controlled, farm
labor has been placed, better live
stock has been secured, and many
other things too numerous TO re-
count have been carried on through
the county agent.
With these things in view it IS ex-
pected that the farm bureau will re-
ceive the united support OF all parts
of the county and that over 1000
members will be added. In that way
the splendid work that has been so
well started will be assured OF be-
ing carried on and increased during
the coming two years.

Democratic Rivals

Says the Prince of Wales in his
friendly message to the American
people: Your institutions, your
ways of life, your aims are as
democratic as ours"
Surely most modern prince, free
of the pride of feudalism and with
no trace Of divine right in him. He
challenges US by implication to COM
pete with a dominion that he is
careful to speak of as a Common
wealth." and never as an "empire, +"
in works of democracy If stout old
John Adams, who as our first Min
lister reported that London more dis
liked Americans as republicans than
as successful revolters, were alive,
how he would chuckle.
With respect to which country Is
the more democratic it is perhaps
profitless to venture an opinion.
Two stars may differ in glory and
yet both be good stars. In the prac-
tice, if not in the form, of her insti-
tutions Great Britain may deserve
the democratic palm, but as to ways
of life, in the social moods of her
people, in the recognition of equal
ity in the contacts of private life,
the matter is more dubious.
