About Good
Resolutions

Most people begin thinking about
the new leaves they would like to
turn over on the last Gag or two
of December. Then they wake up
on the first day of January with
few half-baked ideas which they
forget all about in a few days.
Now, the one individual who in
my acquaintance has made his New
Year resolutions count for the most
begins to think about them along
in November He tries few of
them out to see whether they are
practical or not and he goes into
what he calls his training camp"
in December. Then, when January
comes, he is ready to face the en-
envy and to make them his.
Of course there are lots of people
who make all sorts Of fun Of good
resolutions and declare that they
are only made to be broken, but
that is mere piffle. If we never
made any attempt to strengthen
our weak places or to profit by our
past experiences, we are mighty
poor sorts Of individuals and scarce
ly worth the salt on our potatoes.
Any resolution which is worth
while making at all, and proves in
training camp practice of a month
to be practical, will surely be a
money maker and should be follow
ed up persistently.
Perhaps the resolutions you re-
quire to make are not just the ones
which / will be most benefited by,
and vice versa. Just the same, most
of us can pick out from the follow
ing dozen resolutions at least three
which we will be happier and richer
to make our own and to put into
practice. Pick out the ones which
your own symptoms cry out that
you need-don't do as some people
do! That is, pick out the easy ones
which please them most!
I will try to treat everybody as
would like to be treated myself.
will control my temper.
will pay my bills promptly.
will do things promptly and
without putting them off.
Each night I will have fairly
accurate schedule of what / plan
to do the next day.
When my schedule is interfered
with, / will adapt myself to the
change, carefully remembering that
l am a man and not an automaton
I will not be influenced by pre-
judice or whim. / will govern my
course Of procedure on facts.
/ will remember that "The most
completely lost of all days is that
on which one has not laughed.
And / will keep a record of lost
days in my dairy.
will use every endeavor every
day to keep nay health at its best
I will be painstaking and thoro
in everything.I do.
will not shirk.
Quite a contract, all that-quite
contract to keep even three of
these good resolutions, every day
of the coming 1921.

Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid Of a cold is to take Cham
berlains Cough Remedy. This pre-
paration has been in use for many
years and its value proven. No mat
ter what remedy you use, however,
care must be taken not to contract
a second cold before you have recov-
cred from the first one, and there is
Serious danger of this. A man of
middle age or older should go to bed
and stay in bed until fully recovered,
Il is better TO stay in bed three days
at the start than three weeks later
on. (Adv.)

woman suffrage:
"To the President of the Senate

Colonel George w. Mead, vet
eran of both the Civil and Spanish
American wars while in a reminis-
cent mood the other day, had the
following interesting statements to
make in regard to pioneer days in
Minnesota.
'"One reads quite frequently in the
local newspapers people revisiting
and picknicking on spots said to be
of historic interest by reason OF
some murders by, or battles with
the Indians in the early settlement
of This part of the state. This all
brings to my mind that August 10 of
this wear will be the fifty eighth an
niversary of the organization of the
for service in the Civil war. For a
tine this service was changed to In
dian fighting because of the outbreak
of the Sioux Indians.
1--WE had just been mustered into
the United States service at Fort
Smelling when the startling report
came that the Sioux had started on
the warpath and were numbering
and burning everything in sight.
My company, E of the Ninth Regi-
ment, was at once started for the
frontier. We came direct from Fort
Smelling to Mankato, which was then
an outpost, where we remained for a
few days. Here we gathered up
horses to mount the company, and
then proceeded to New Ulm, from
which place We started a very CON:
plete system Of patroling the coun-
try for many miles in every direc-
ton. BY this constant hard riding
day and night. we succeeded in
chasing the redskins out of this part
of the state, and gave the settlers a
new feeling Of security. 1t was
while camped near New Ulm that
Thomas Ireland came into our camp
after lying under cover for several
days riddled with from ten to twelve
bullets, and covered with dry blood.
We also rescued Charley Hatch,
and many others who were hiding
out in the swamps and other places
to escape the Indians.
Many laughabIe Incidents.
Quite good many laughatle in
cidents will occur in service like
this. l remember one particular in

FORP|CN|C0NLABOR DAY
CENTRAL BODY TOOK THE
ACTION LAST NIGHT
Local Speakers Will Be Engaged ;
Games At Sibley Park
Proposed

Members of the central labor body
Of this city held a meeting at labor
hall last evening for the purpose of
making plans for the celebration of
Labor Day, Monday, September 6. The
meeting was presided over by Pres
ident Rudolph Ario. Considerable dis
cussion took place as to the best
method of celebrating the day. Some
were for having an elaborate program
carried out including a street parade,
etc. Lack of funds prevented this
kind Of a program. 1t was finally de-
cided to hold a quiet basket picnic at
Sibley Park, if those grounds can be
secured from the city. The plan now
is to have one or two local speakers
address the meeting, and then give the
day over to the amusement OF those
assembled there. A program of field
sports and other amusements will be
arranged for later, for the young peo
lie. The making Of the plans, and
the arrangement Of the program has
been left with President Ario, Sec
of the executive committee consisting
of Gust Mathison and Erick Sand
strom, who will make further an
nouncements as to the plans adopted.
There are rumors that several Of
the labor organizations in Mankato
are not satisfied with the political
tirge that is given the meetings of
the central labor today. 1t is said
that not all of the unions are sending
delegates to the central body meet
ings, owing to the efforts on the part
of a number of the representatives
to make the organization a first aid
to the Nonpartisan league. Last even
ing but fourteen delegates attended
the meeting One of the delegates
suggested last night that the Labor
day picnic should be nom political. He
did not believe in calling in bunch
of political demagogues to address the
gathering.
