The Election
Mr.. Editor e Voters

Mr.. Editor e Voters
A great deal of consideration is
made as to SOCIAL STANDING,
in this unpl etentious community OF ours,
and yet after all %(supposing that we
could ever lay claim to be necessarily
fastidious or particular, in any or even
all matters, business or TRANSACTIONS 1t
should be distinctly understood that,
where the chief calculation is the ability
of a man to conduct himself orderly,
soberly and uprightly, and the other
requisite, namely, his fitness to perform
according to the necessities OF the case
his duties in the office or position to
which an otherwise discriminating public
may elect him, then social standing
is of hardly any count.
If the majority of a ~people-and this
is a very large majority too-be COM
posed of those whose social status" is
least to be considered, what matters it
therefore, if in the Legislative Body,
their representatives be also of little
weight in the same. scale? Sufficient be
it that, if their interest demands repre-
~sentation, then the best man to so repre-
sent them should be one of themselves.
Their constitutional rights and privileges
call not, fol the social quality" Of their
representative; Uul 1OI u WtUU, anu 81 IOIS
as his standing otherwise, and his quail
fcations, are satisfactory to his constitu-
ents, then. the letter and spirit Of the
law is complied with.
In the large masses of the half-illiter-
ate people in the foremost Countries of
Europe, and even in the United States
of America, their representatives are
often from the best of their own ranks.
Why should there be such discrimination
in this small dot of tie map? Times are
now changed, and the things that would
have greatly astonished before, are and
must be today, and sure. The Boss that
makes his ~obsequeous bow, and courte-
ously extends the hand to a voter simply
because he wants your vote today, that
he may be elected to the Council, and
tomorrow will like the Priest in the
Parable of the Good Samaritan, pass by
on the other side"-will not suit longer.

open eyes look out for their w man

PERFORM
MIRACLE

One of the most powerful and effec-
tive of all the women's organizations
of the United States is the National
League of Women Voters, which re-
Gently held it's first national convention
at Cleveland, Ohio.
AS the foregoing indicates, it is
barely one year old. Yet every state
in the Union is organized, as well as
nearly all of the counties and most of
the towns and cities in each state. The
states, in turn, are grouped into So
called regions, of which there are sew
en-. In short, thorough organization
both national and local has been effect
ed within a year; and the miracle be-
comes still greater when we learn that
| the total cost of the work to date has
been Just $685.. If we may judge
by the past, it is probably within rea-
son to say that any similar organiza-
lion effected by the men of the nation.
would have cost at least several hun
dred thousand dollars. In fact, it
seems quite certain that the expense
/ of such an enterprise, carried out as
men usually do it, would have been net
| less than one hundred times what It
| has cost the women. It seems to IN
dictate that one road to economy in
the management of public affairs is
to put them in the hands of women.
The National League Of Women Vo-
/ tiers takes in women of all parties with
out any restriction or limitation. 1t IS
not partisan but merely stands fer
good citizenship. Schools of citizen
ship are maintained by it for its mem
bers. 1t offers to the women Of our
country an opportunity to become well
informed in public affairs and the pro-
blems of government. It seems that
every woman would do well to identi-
fly herself with the organization.

A HOME SONG

I turned an ancient poets book and
found upon the page
"Stone Walls do not a prison make
nor Iron Bars a cage,
Vest that is true, and something more
you'll find where'er you roam
That marble floors and gilded walls
can never make a home.
But every house where love abides
and friendship is guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home;
for there the heart can rest.

Commercial Fertilizer

none at all
Commercial Fertilizer
An application of 400 pounds of
1856 fertilizer to the acre will prove
beneficial in our section for all the
common garden crops. The benefit of
the commercial fertilizer will be much
increased if a good application of
manure has preceded it or is run in
conjunction with it.
Lining
Practically all our soil thru this
section is acid An application Of fine
ly ground limestone at the rate of
three ton per acre will always prove
beneficial. Garden crops are heavy
users of lime and show a marked i'm
provement wherever it is available in
liberal quantities. It takes nature
about year to get the limestone in
shape for the plants use so the effect
of lining the first year is not so
noticeable. The neutralizing effects of
lime when applied in the quantity
suggested will last for about six years.
This makes the cost Of the treatment
look like a shadow.
Ashes
Coal ashes have little value as fertil-
izer, their use being mainly to loosen
the soil. Our soil being too loose now
is harmed by an application of coal
ashes.
Wood ashes have fertilizing value
and are very valuable if applied before
they have become leached.
At later date information will be
given out regarding the summer care
of the garden. BY E. H. Perkins,
Federal Agricultural Agent.

THE STAR ORCHESTRA
CLOSES ITS SEASON
Musical Organization Debut Has
Brot Recognition and Praise
For Work Accomplished

The Star Orchestra, under the dir
ection of Prof. N. B. Swain has closed
it's present season after having given
four successful concerts. Appearing
as a new organization at the initial
concert in Willmar it has since rem
dered several programs assisted by
the violinist Benjamin Swain and pi-
anist Arthur Swain. The orchestra
will not make any engagement until
in the fall. During the summer
months the organization will devote
it's time to the preparation of anoth-
err splendid program. It has intro
duced itself as an organization with a
promising future and in time Willmar
hopes to boast of a small symphony.
The Star Orchestra has this goal in
sight. A few instruments are only
lacking to entitle it to the name of
symphony. After several months of
practice it is expected that the Orch
estra will appear before the public
even better able to offer the best of
music.

SUPT. BROHAUGH CEN
I: 7. va. SU)RES LAZY STUDENTS
Parents Should Acquaint Themsel-
! YES With Children's School
Work Says Supt

T. Inc Gay OF reckoning IS at nand
The wise student who has improved
his time during the past eight months
can look forward with pleasure to the
last days of school. For him examin
atoms hold no terrors. But woe unto
the lazy student who has loafed thru
out the year. His sleep is badly brok
en- at night and his days are days OF
worry. He tries to cram into one
short month all the knowledge and
mental development that come from
faithful attention to duty. His case is
we'll nigh hopeless. And really does
he deserve any sympathy?
A student made this statement in
the superintendent office few days
ago: II have been told that you are
not going to let my brother graduate
That is a ridiculous statement fol
anyone to make. The only person who
can keep a student from graduating
is himself. Unfortunate circumstan
ces may make it difficult for one to
complete his work but the average
student who can devote fair amount
of time to his studies can carry a high
school course easily. Often students
(and sometimes parents) look upon
teachers as individuals who spend
their time looking for opportunities
to funk those whom they dislike. The
student who gets into difficulties OF
any nature frequently states that the
teacher has it "in' for him. Nothing
can be further from the truth Every
teacher is anxious to make good
record and practically everyone is in
terested in the welfare of the pupils.
Usually teachers worry much more
about the weak ones than the latter
do themselves.
A father called on us not long ago
in regard to the work being done by
his son. The son was doing poor
work and had dropped one of his prin-
cipal subjects at the close OF the first
semester. He stated that MS tOlks
knew all about it and were agreed
that this should be done. The father
stated that he did not know, his son
was doing poor work nor that he had
dropped subject. Every six weeks
high school students receive carefully
made out report cards which show
how they are progressing, This father
had evidently paid no attention to the
card. The boy is from out of town.
His father is spending a great deal of
money to keep him here, but he fails
to check up the results. Would any
business man be as careless in his &C
counting where material goods are
concerned? A. little cooperation be-
tween parents and teachers along
these lines will help greatly.

is so true to life, the characters so
