A Mans Faith.

All progress, all good, Is but an ap- proximation. The end is never reached never can be, perhaps never could be, but the effort should be continuous and earnest. It should also be intel ligent. It should not be self-upbraid- ing and mOrbidly dissatisfied with it. self. Praise Is said to be useful to others-is 1t not to ourselves? We should be just and generous to our selves. One of our first duties Is to Ourselves-to make ourselves happy. Then we, can make others happy, and make them grow. and grow with them. Of course. indulgence is not always the way to make ourselves happy and yet there are some indulgences that we should permit ourselves. The philosophy of life is understood by but few. Our humanity makes us Oftener blindly practice and illustrate it than spread intelligent theories. We prac. tice better than we preach.-Samuel BOwleS.

Leo Zelz has his booth and Eli Parizeau is also ready for the fair crowds. James Campo has his mineral water for sale on the grounds.
 Superintendent of Racing O'Hallo- ran has added another race to the card each day. The new addition is not to be the speediest on the pro- gram, yet from past experience it is judged to be one of the most interest ing. A mule race is the added at traction. The new entry is not of the old time variety, with our famous Levi riding up behind one of the ami mals, but the attraction is vOuched for by race followers as one of the most entertaining acts making the fair circuits.
 Thursday is to be Governors day at the fair. Gov. Everett J. Lake has accepted an invitation to be present at the grounds on the second day of the fair.

HAL GREEN GUILTY
MURDER, SAYS VERDICT
Half-Breed Negro Convicted of
Staying Leslie Joslin Near
Redwood Falls.

Hal Green, the half-breed negro,
who was indicted by the grand jury
Of the Redwood county district court
in Redwood Falls for the brutal murder
Of Leslie Joslin, near Redwood Falls,
during the night of April Z, was con-
victed and sentenced to serve SO years
in the state prison at Saltwater.
Sentence was passed by Judge I. M.
Olsen of this city, after the jury
brought in its verdict of guilty, follow

at about the fatal hour. How III ;,
no witnesses were called by the defense
to testify as to where Green had been
from the time he left the Humphrey
farm, where he was employed as hired
man, at about 9 o'clock in the evening,
until he returned, according to testi-
mony given by members of the
Humphrey family, at about 1:2O
o'clock next morning.
The state built up its case carefully,
although, of course, all of the evidence
itsubmitted was purely circumstantial.
It tended to prove that Green, a few
days prior, to the brutal murder, has
purchased shells similar to empty
cartridges found at the scene Of the
tragedy and that the powder contained
therein was not of the kind fed to
horses, which the defense tried to in
fer. Also that the Humphrey shotgun
has homemade firing pins which
makes a peculiar impression on al
shell, quite different from that of AL
factory-made firing pin, and this
peculiar impression is identical with
the fring-pin impression on the empty
shells found at the murder scenei
Other evidence brought out by the
state was to the effect that Green was|
absent from the Humphrey farm fofi
several hours, without a reasona bleI
explanation Of his whereabouts, and
did not return until after sufficient
lapse of time to have committed the
brutal crime. Evidence was also in
troduced tending to show that jealousy
over Mabel Humphrey, Joslin's sweet
heart, was the motive for the crime.
Following the trial of his brother,
Henry Green was arrested as result
of information given officials by Miss
Humphrey, who was an important
witness for the state in the murder
trial. This case has, however, no
apparent connection with the murder
trial, but is the outgrowth of dis
closures made in connection with it.
Although there was a mass of UNI
finished work for the court, Judge Oh
sen was obliged to adjourn the session
to open the regular term of court at
ST. Peter, Monday of last week. Some
of the court cases in Redwood county
have been hanging fire for two years,
due to the fact that court activities
in the five counties comprising this
judicial district have become so great
that it is physical impossibility for
one judge to properly look after his
duties.

Horse Raising States.

Ninety per cent of the 25OOO,0OO
horses and mules in the United States
are on farms, and only about 10 per
cent are in cities, towns, villages and
other non-agricultural work. according
to advance figures of the 1920 census.
1t is natural that the ten central
states of the great corn belt-Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and the two
Dakotas-where coarse grains are
raised in plenty, should be the great
reservoir of horse and mule produc-
tion, rearing approximately three
fifths of all the horses and mules in
the country
The farmers of this section produc-
ing horses and mules, supply their own
needs, furnish work stock for adjoin-
ing farms where horses and mules are
not reared, also the heavy drafterS.
wagon horses and expressers wanted
in cities, towns and villages. and the
farm chunks for eastern states where
horse and mule production is not so
common.
