while drunk and was fined $50 and
given 80 days. He had no counsel

so but the judge told me he had no

The Proposed Increase
in Workmen's Compensation
Insurance Rates is Refused

The insurance companies who ham
die the Workmen's Compensation In
surance in the State of Maine applied
for an increase in their rates and the
matter for several months has been
under the advisement of the Execu-
tive and Insurance Departments.
Governor Baxter and Commissioner
G.. Walden Smith have given the
matter most careful consideration
and have held several conferences
with actuaries and other officials OF
other state departments. A decision
has been reached whereby the rates
recently submitted by the National
Council have been refused approval
This means saving of approximatos
ly 100000 annually to the business
interests of the State.
From the figures submitted II, up
peared that the insurance companies
had done a profitable business in
Maine and both Governor Baxter and
Commissioner Smith felt that pres
ent business conditions did not JUS
tify any increase in the rates.

Not Fad Cook But Fad Stomach

The word dyspepsia means literally
bad cook, but it will not be fair for
many people to lay the blame on the
cook ii they begin the Christmas DIM
ner with little appetite and end it with
distress or nausea.
1t may not be fair for any to do
that--let US hope so for the sake of
the cook!
The disease dyspepsia. indicates a
bad stomach, that is a weak stomach,
rather than bad cook, and for veal;
stomach we know of nothing else equal
to Hoods Sarsaparilla. This digestive
and tonic medicine helps the stomach,
pepsia, creates an appetite, and makes
eating the pleasure 1t should .bc.
The biliousness. and consultation
found in so many cases. of dyspepsia
are gently and thoroughly relieved by
harmony with Hoods Sarsaparilla.-

On our recent visit to our old home
at Watertown, Minn.,, we had the
pleasure of an auto trip through pOr-
tons Of Carver, Mcleod and Wright
counties. Fifty or sixty years ago that
part of the state was vast forest,
known as the Big Woods, with here
and there small elearings surrounding
the log cabins Of the intrepid settlers.
Now most Of the timber is cleared
away, and broad fields Of corn, small
grain, timothy and clover meet the eye
in every direction while stately farm
houses and big barns thickly dot the
landscape. Many of the roads are
gravelled and kept in excellent condi-
ton. The work of two generations has
been required to change the country
from wilderness to a highly developed
and prosperous farming community
Creameries are numerous and many
cattle and hogs are found on every
farm. AS rule the farms are small.
well titled and generally free from
weeds. Raising much corn and other
cultivated crops keeps down the weeds
and the application Of barnyard man
ure keeps up the fertility of the soil.
Many 40 and S0-acre farmers in that
section of the state have more clear
profit at the end of the year than most
prairie farmers who farm half sec
ton.

When the Sun Sets.

A Northern Minnesota sunset is an
aprop0s subject for words at any time.
Especially is it so at this time Of the
year when the rich curtain of color
slowly fades to the dull grey of night
hood and the stars solemnly take their
places in the deep blue Of a summer
sky to sparkle with ever increasing
brightness until the night has fallen.
1t is time for reflection, this mingling
of night and day, when the cares and
worries of the world are dropped from
the shoulders and the mind reverts to
that quiet land of dreamers miles away.
Memories arise enriched with the age
Of passing years and the soul is at
peace in the calm repose Of a northern
twilight. !.
There are tropical sunsets which
fare up in a blaze of profuse colors and
fade as they have come There are
temperate sunsets which gather over
the western horizon, neither very rich
nor very dull. There are sea sunsets
Tapped by the uneasy pillows OF the
surf. There are city sunsets pierced
by the jagged horizon Of city dwellings.
And there are other sunsets, but none
can compare with the richness, the
friendliness, the naturalness and the
wonde Of q Northern Mime

Clean Roadsdes.

Constant warfare against the weeds
of fields and garden does much to
eliminate the harmful plants but there
are many places where they oftentimes
grow undisturbed by man and those
places are along the roadside. Grow
ing here weeds are too often undis-
turbed and let to go to seed in their
own way thus insuring good crops of
weeds, not only along the road side, but
in~the nearby fields and points more
distant. There are miles and miles of
roadside in the county and each mile
may be the producer of a wonderfully
abundant weed crop.
Not only are these weeds of danger
to the surrounding fields but they may
be, carried many miles by passing We
hicles and animals. They also may
harbor harmful insects and plant dis
eases besides creating unsanitary con-
ditions Aside from these things they
are unsightly and give the passing
traveller very poor idea of the country
through which he is travelling. Every
effort should be made to rid the road
side Of weeds and insure the failure of
any weeds going to seed along the road.
There are many ways in which the
weeds may be eliminated from the
roadside. By moving twice year, iii
June and August, when they are in full
bloom. by utilizing the roadsides for
growing hay, by grazing along the road
with tethered animals or converting
weedy roadsides into the lawns this
may be accomplished. Any one
of these ways. may De used to rid the
country of a pest that is liable to go
practically unnoticed along the many
roads that traverse the various sections
of the county and state. Now is the
time to begin thinking about the elm
ination of weeds along the roadsides.
Clean roadsides will mean cleaner
fields in years to come. q

The state road from Warren north is
in a deplorable condition and has really
been unfit for travel since the gravel
was put on last summer. The road has
now actually been condemned by the
Post Office Department and the rural
mail carrier has been ordered to aban-
don service on the route, along said
highway and use another road for max
ing his rounds. We believe it is up to
Commissioner Babcock to get busy at
once and make said state road fit for
travel. Half of the summer has gone
and as far.as we know nothing has been
done to place the road in good condi-
ton. If that is #sthe way state super
vision of state highways is. to work,
then we would be much better off with
the old plan of county supervision. The
Sheaf believes that the gravelling of
said road was never properly done. In
the first place a very poor quality Of
gravel was used and in the second place
it was never properly spread. There is
no sense it seems to us, to put ON so
much gravel at one time that the road
cannot be used. That much gravel
should have been put on in two Goa is
a thin one at first and when that was
worked down a. second coat applied.
Furthermore, we do not believe it is the
right way to make public traffic work
down the gravel into the road bed. No
gravel road should be considered finish
ed until the surface is, smoothed down
by heavy road rollers. When Commits
sioner Babcock makes his contemplated
inspection of state roads in his aero
plane, we hope he will descend low
enough to see in what condition the
road thru Marshall county actually is.sss

Small Town Opportu nities.

The young man and the small town
are appropriately y treated in the fol-
lowing article by Mr.. Edward W.Bok,
for thirty years editor Of The Ladies'
Home Journal The article appeared
in a recent issue 4 of The American
Legion Weekly and will furnish some
food for thought =
n" The lure of the large city is very
strong for the average young man.
Naturally so. He constantly reads
newspaper, ma azine and book, and
from the insistent way in which some
writer's place the scenes of their ma
terial in the large city, one might
imagine a metropolis was the only place
of romance or adventure. 81
Particularly is this true Of New York
City. No American city so completely
attracts the writer of fact and fiction.
with the result that to thousands OF
young men it has become theeAmerican
Mecca. They read of the fortunes
made there; of the wealth gathered and
spent: Of the goings and comings of the
great captains of industry; Of the stu
Ipendous corpora tions harbored there !;
they read about Broadway until it is
stamped on their minds as the most
famous street in the United States, as
it probably is, thanks to clever adyer
tising, and they count the. days until
they can get to the great Eastern
metropolis. ss s.
And then 81
They find the most sordidly cruel city
in the country; "a city with its fine side,
VOC 4ho, Eo+1,
country, but also with its proportion
ately hard side, also harder than any
city in the country. The fortunes they
have read about are there, no doubt of
that, but the young men soon find that
they have not been mao there Wealth
is spent wildly !, intemperat ely reck-
lessness borders on madness, but the
money is not gathered there The cap
tains Of industry are there, but only in
a few instances have they made their
careers in New York generally outside
of it. The large corpo ii ons.are there,
but only in an executive sense !; their
vital part, the production end, is almost
in every case elsewhere
The young strangers walk up and
down Broadway and if they happento
be chaps who have their sense Of rela-
lions well-grounded, they soon wonder
what, other than theatrica advertis-
ing, has made it famous; they are
amazed to find tt one Of the uglest
streets they ever saw in day time, and
Eblatantly vulgar after dusk Narrow,
bad ly-swept, with its street-cars crying

Of bankruptcy, Its stores cheap and
