Great Educational Show.

The international livestock exposi-
ton is the stockman's school. In an
educational sense it is without rival,
supplemening and browning the eff
forts of the agricultural colleges, ex-
pertinent stations and state fairs. In
this arena are assembled, for instruc-
tive competitive purposes, once each
year the stellar efforts of all the prin-
cipal agriculture colleges and expert
ment stations during the previous
twelve-month period, a competition
that brings to the surface, as is posi-
BILE nowhere else, the work of the best
scientists of the country, where it is
made available to students, editors and
laymen.
The carlot display Of fat cattle, hogs
and sheep is the feeders forum, where
economic developments in meat pro-
,duction are placarded on the wall so
.conspicuously and intelligibly that he
who runs may read.
This educational value is demon
+strated by the fact that the beginners
in the competition of one season be-
ecome experts and prizetakers the next.

pills came masked. There were very
original costumes. Games were
played and songs sung, then came the
unmasking. Two witches then con-
Quoted each one to the barn, where
a "spook gallery was found. They
had to march between ghosts into a
witch tent where fortunes were told
from the witch's kettle Many fu-
lures were unraveled. Some found
their life too long, living to no years
of age. Three dummies were located
in the tent. One, named Johnny, was
very restless and when any one passed

by him he got excited and jumped up
into the air. He was very clever at
jigging. A deer reclined in one cor
mr. and an ox's ghostly skeleton in an
other corner Of the tent. The fortune
teller was a ghost with a skeleton
face. The tent was lighted with red
lights and the whole scene produced a
weird and creepy feeling.
After the fortunes were finished an.
other game was played in the house
Then Mrs. Patten read a Halloween
story. During the whole reading the
clock could be heard ticking the min
utes toward the midnight hour. Lunch
was served and still the games con,

New Lamp Burns
 94% Air
Beats Electric or Gas

A new oil lamp that gives an amaz- ingly brilliant soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. s. Government and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise no pumping up, is simple, clean, and safe. Burns 94 per cent air and six per cent common kerosene (coal oiD.
 The inventor, z. E. Johnson, 29 N. Fifth St., Portland Oregon, is offering to send lamp on 10 days FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality, who will help him introduce it. Write him to- day for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $25O to $500 per month.

Warship Repairs.

Over and above the great activity of the British yards in building new warships, particularly destroyers, and the construction of merchant ships, an enormous amount of time and labor has to be devoted to repairs. In a re cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said :: During one month the number of war vessels which needed repairs was nearly 1,000-that is, in addition to the HOO merchant ships-and that was by no means an abnormal month. Since the beginning of the war 31,0O0 war vessels, including patrol craft and mine sweepers, have been docked or placed on the ways, and these figures do not include repair work done to the vessels of our allies"
 Add to this the arming of the vast fleet of British merchant vessels, and we have some conception of the enor- nous task of shipbuilding, equipping and repairing carried on by the British admiralty.

It occurred when MT. Taft was pres ident. He was in Augusta, Ga., and g barbecue was to be given in his honor at MT. c. s. Bohler's country place.
 MT. Taft was expected to be on hand at a certain hour. The roads were misleading, and fearing to be late he bade the chauffeur stop and inquire directions of an old negro man who trudged along. Gan you tell me where Mir. Bohler's place is?" asked the president.
 "Yes, sir, I kin, cayse I works dar myself" The way as pointed out was somewhat vague, so MT. Taft told the old man to jump in by the side of the chauffeur and act as guide Upon ar irving at MT. Bohler's home, Mir. Taft gave the old man a 50-cent piece
 MT. Bohler, afterward hearing of the incident, called the recipient, saying Uncle Tom, I hear the president gave you fifty cents. You ought to prize that and keep it always as sou venir."

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
Expenditures That in the Aooreoate Amount to Sum Sufficient to
 "Stagger Humanity"

Recently the congress of the United States passed, almost without debate, the greatest budget in the history of the world, making available for Uncle Sam $7,OOO,OO0,O00 in order to carry on the war on scale commensurate with it's greatness. It is interesting, there fore, to compare with this the cost of other wars. The Napoleonic wars, which ragged over Europe from 1793 to 1915, cost approximately $7, 100000 or the same amount that congress pro- vided for the United States to enter into the conflict, and that was only a beginning
 The Mexican war cost the United States about $100000,000 a compara- lively trifling sum. The Civil. war, however, was very expensive affair, entailing the expenditure of $8,00O- 100000 from 1861 to 1865. The Franco Prussian war cost the two nations en- gagged about S3,5OO,O0O, 900. The second South African war from 1900 to 1902, cost S1, 800, 0,00O.000 the conflict between Russia and Japan consumed almost $4,000,OO0,000, while the United States got off very cheaply in the Spanish American war with an expenditure of S175, 100000.

The prosperity of Greater Tokyo city is shown by the increased taxes over last year, the average being 37 per cent. In the eight tax-collection districts the total exceeds 99,000,000 yen ($49, 9,5O0,00O); the rates of in- crease vary from 91a per cent in the Yotsuya district to 50 per cent in the Ryogoku and 72 per cent in the Yeitai districts, where the offices and resi- dences of the narikin are located.

Tractors for Cultivation of Rice.

The French government of Cochin China has become interested in the employment of caterpillar tractors for the cultivation of rice. On September 29, 1917, 45 horse power track ma chine valued at more than $500 Unit ed States currency, was purchased tele- graphically. If the experiment is sue cessful, larger orders will follow. Ev- erything depends upon whether the tractor can operate in the soft rice-pad- dy fields of Cochin China.

Automobiles on Farms.

Minnesota is one of eight states in
which there are automobiles on more
than half the farms, according to a
preliminary. report Of the 1920 census.
Four of the eight states are near
neighbors in the northwest: Iowa,
North and South Dakota and Nebras-
ka. The other three are the widely
scattered states of Illinois, Kansas and
California. Minnesota is also one of
the eight states in which more than
100000 automobiles are owned by far
mers, it's total being 1O7,824. The
number of automobiles owned is one
of the best tests of the prosperity of
farmers.< It indicates their desire and
ability to spend money, as there is an
element of pleasure as we'll as utility
in the motor car.
Construction of paved highways will
increase the use of automobiles by
farmers, who have not enjoyed such
opportunities for driving as the city
people in the past. A good gravel
road has been the best the farmer
had, up to this time, without going
to the city boulevards. The time will
come in Minnesota, however, when
there will be more miles of permanent
hard surfaced highway in the country
than in the cities. Then the farmers
will have more desire to drive motor
cars than ever before. Under the good
roads amendment, however, more than
half the money to be used on state
roads will be supplied by people not
living on farms, but that relative pro-
portion may be reversed when nearly
every farmer has his own car.
The amount of time saved by the
107, 1924 Minnesota farmers who own
cars adds a good deal to the wealth of
the individuals and of the state, for
time is money in the busy season.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

AS has been stated many times dur.
ing the past week, the thirtieth an
nual fair was the best that was
ever produced in this county. The
farmers in this community put forth
an unusual effort in preparing their
exhibits and they have the satisfaction
of knowing that they gave Mile Laos
county the best possible kind of ad-
vertising. One Judge who was sur
prised by the quantities Of fine ex-
hibits, inquired if we were attempting
to stage a state fair here. We also
received congratulations of men who
are prominent in the agricultural as
sociations in Kanabec and Sherburne
counties. They stated that our ex-
hibits this year far exce!led any they
had ever seen displayed at our previ-
Gus fairs.
Back of all the exhibitors and super
intendcnts stood the officers of our
agricultural association Too much
credit cannot be given them. In a
year when many of the crops are
somewhat below their usual grade and
when money is not moving freely, they
gave us the best and biggest fair in
the history of the county. This we
hold was no small achievement and it
is fine expression Of the spirit that
has brought prosperity to this section
of the country. The people that have
developed Minnesota and the adjoining
states come from hardy stock. They
do not believe in allowing circum-
stances to dominate them but show
themselves masters Of the situation.
If there are unfavorable forces that
they cannot control, as a national
financial depression or unfavorable
climatic conditions, they put little
more energy and a little more en-
thusiasm into their work and come
through on the upper side with flying
colors.

Secretary of Labor Davis believes
that present economic conditions in
the United States demand that bust
ness men above all else should trust
and aid each other. He said to a
group of business men recently: "This
is time when men are tried, some of
them beyond endurance. Each of US
is in straits of some sort. At such a
time it is human instinct to save self
at the expense of others. The policy
is shortsighted. 1t prolongs suspense
because suspense is born of distrust.
This is time above all others when
we need to trust each other. Even
that is not enough: We must not
only trust, we must help each other.
In time of stress each is apt to fear
for what he has. Each is suspicious
that the other is scheming to take his
possessions away. 1t is the time for
conscience, and by that / mean trust
and confidence. Nothing else will help
us get along again." Here is some
real common sense.

minister of militia, is dead. While
we were not personally acquainted
with Sir Sam We regret to learn of

President Harding states that tn

President Harding states that the
unfortified boundary line of 5000 miles
between the United States and Canada
is the best testimony that the world is
growing better and wiser. That I'M
fortified boundary line bespeaks more
than the casual observer might sup
pose, because Canada is a member of
the British Empire and she is intense
ly loyal to England. He is most SUI
perficial observer, indeed, who for one
moment thinks that our present friend
ly relations with Canada would con-
tinue if so great a calamity would
ever befall the world as that an es-
arrangement would arise between the
United States and Great Britain. The
Canadians and Americans want =. no
barriers placed between them, be-
cause Great Britain and the United
States are linked together by ties
that bind too closely ever to be
loosened by the malicious propaganda
of those who are secretly nursing
hatred of England or the silly chat
ter of those who know naught of what
they speak.

NOteS.


There were many startling plays in
these three games but lack of space
prevents us from giving the whole de-
tailed story. 1t would be unfair,
however, not to mention the good
work of the umpircs. S. D. Curry of
South St. Paul acted as umpire-in-
chief in the first two games and his
work met with the general approval
of crowd and players. He knows the
game from A to and calls them fair
ly and impartially. His good work
minimized the rag chewing and
helped bring out the best ball that
was in the contending teams. Frank
Bartlett of Pease worked as base UNI
pire in the Thursday game and Heinie
Plaas did likewise in the Friday game.
Both men deserve credit for their fair
and impartial work. Smith and Doane
handled the Saturday game and, suf-
flee to say, neither one of them was
lynched after the game.

Princeton Creamery Gets Cup.

There were II cooperative cream:
cries in the butter competition and
Princeton carried off the silver cup
offered by the Milaca Commercial
club as we'll as the first premium. The
cup is valued at $3.50 and has to be
won three times in succession before
it becomes the actual property of the
winner, but Archie Jones, manager OF
the Princeton creamery, has full con-
fidence that he can lift it a couple
of times more.
Pease and Mora tied for the second
prize but all the butter tested was of
high quality.
