that the industrial future Of the state
largely depends on the kind OF roads
that, she may be in position to offer
those who contemplate coming into
Florida to develop her agricultural
and other resources. I believe tina.
Florida should have the best system
of roads that progressive economy
can provide, and I also believe that
the funds provided by the state and
nation for building such roads should
be expended in the most economical
and efficient way.

We wonder why Florida Democrats
should be expected to get excited
about the expulsion of Socialists from
the New York Legislature, or What's
it to u.s. one way or the other. Yet
one candidate for Office gravely puts
this before the people as an issue
Hard up for an issue-we'll say 81,

In the adjoining column will be
found the platform of Hon. Cary A.
Hardee, candidate, for Governor. It
is a straightforward clean-cut dec
laration Of what Mr.. Hardee stands
for free from demagoguery or at
tempts to raise false issues, and
showing an intelligent comprehension
Of conditions in the State and the
needs for their betterment. Mr.. Har-
dee stands we'll in this section and
advices from all over the state indi-
cate that his candidacy is meeting
with general favor. The people seem
to believe that Mr.. Hardee will make
such a governor as will restore their
respect for that Office and give the
state a sane. sensible business admin
istration free from the brawls and
chickering's and disturbances that
have troubled it. His platform will
repay. careful perusal and there is
honesty and sincerity behind every

The merits of grapefruit and grape
fruit juice, both as a preventive and
cure for flu are recognized by
Mayor Thompson, of Chicago who is
buying Florida grapefruit by the car
load for distribution among flu suf-
ferers in his city. Two carloads were
shipped the mayor from Orlando yes
terday. The Evening Telegram has
frequently called attention to the
opinion of. high medical authorities
as to the virtues of grapefruit in
fighting flue, and believes the liber-
al use of tbs fruit would go for. toward
mitigating the malevolence of this
dreaded malady.

There is some unnecessary furry
about the census enumeration. Com
plant is made that people in a GER
tain seton have not been enumer-
ated. The reason is amazingly sim
ple-the enumerator has just begun
work on that section. Mr.. G. White
is enumerator for Wards and 4. He
has completed Ward 2, but did not be-
gin upon Ward 4 until the past few
days. If you live in Ward and have
rot been enumerated there is no cause
to worry-the enumerator probably
will find you yet. II you live in
Ward /, 2 or 8 and have not been
enumerated, then you should get in
touch with the enumeration, or call
this paper or the Chamber of Com
merce. Be patient in Ward 4 how
ever. When enumeration is complet-
ed there this paper will report it and
II you have not been counted then it
will be time enough to boiler.

Military Heroes


Every man and woman who de-

membrance the heroes who made the
supreme sacrifice but it is not enough
that we should remember and glorify
the dead. Those other heroes whose
bodies were browen, these and all
the others who returned to their
homes stripped of all but fadeless
glory deserve the highest considera-

shame if some adequate provision
were not made for them by their state

tomorrow, but now while their need

Church will be tho film "How to Keep
the Boy on the Farm" accompanied
by short talk by D. @. Grabill, a
fieldman of the James Barn Equip
nent Company. Mr.. Grabill comes
to Redwood Falls at the suggestion of
w. n. Gold who asked Mr.. Charles
He'd, the James Equipment distribu-
tor for this district, to secure him
for a date here if possible, deeming
that the picture is not only of inter-
est but. is also educational in its
value. The film is not the film shown
here recently under similar title
and is said by those who have seen it
to be we'll worth the attention OF
parents who are facing the problems
incident to rearing families in rural
ca nmunities. DR.. E. C. Horn who
interested himself in arranging
meeting states that he has heard
many splendid things of Mr.. GrabilPs
lecture and because of his worth has
decided to turn the church over to a
meeting of the Individual farmers and
farmers clubs for the afternoon and

accident last Friday afternoon, when
the charge of shot gun held by his
brother, Herman, went through his
foot about half way between the kne,
and ankle. A number of young men
wereepreparing to leave the Essig
home on a rabbit hunt. Herman had
gone into the well house to get some
ammunition and while inside the house
was in the act of putting shells into
his gun when the charge accidently
exploded. TIE young man was pont-
ing the muzzle of the gun towards the
open door near which he was stand
ing, to avoid accident, but just as the
charge exploded Walter stepped into
the path of the charge.
Walter was taken to the New Ulm
hospital on Saturday afternoon where
the Xray showed that several inches
of the main bone were shot away, and
that the small bone in the back of the
foot was broken.
The doctors have hopes of saving
the foot.-Sanborn Sentinel
