ago migrated: "Oh, it was all town.
You could not make a living there.
Here you can live on nothing" Mean
ing that if you have a house, wood,
a few cows, and all the poultry and
vegetables you ! need,s you will
need very little cash money, whereas
in town you cannot live with a thin
or empty pocketbook..
A shining EXAMPLE of how people
in hard circumstances can manage to
get along here as nowhere else is Mrs.
S. who lives on a homestead II miles
east of Grand Marais. About seven
years ago she lost her husband, and
was left with four shildren between
y and 8 years old. Did She sit down
to nurse her sorrow? No, she took
hold where her husband left off; kept
the cows and went ahead as BEFORE
This last SUMMER she kept six COWS
and four young cattle. The product
of the cows she disposes of by SELL
ing milk, cream, ice-cream and lunch
es to wayfarers. She :. does all her
work herself, with what aid @.she chill
dren can render. In summer, besides,
she picks blueberries 600 quarts last
summer) and from her strawberry
patch she sold 200 quarts; and in
winter she spins her own yarn and
knits' sweaters, socks and mittens for
her own family and for sale. We
must not forget the 100 bushels of
potatoes which she and her 15-year-
old daughter picked and carried to
the rootcellar this fall, while the two
youngest boys-8 and 10 years old
walked more than three miles forth
and back to school, without comp]ain-
ing of lack of transportation facili-
ties.
Is this good woman somber and
disspirited because she has such a
hard time of IT,? On the contrary
She is so glad, she says, that she
can work. And she demonstrated
what she said when she gleefully
grabbed the rope of the rickety a.
wheeled wagon made by her oldest
son, bent forward nearly to the
ground, and started rapidly to haul
to the cellar the last bushels Of,
potatoes for the day.
Of course the dairy COW is the
basic element of her success in tax.
ing care of herself and her foul
young ones, for which latter she
even refnses the widows pension to
which she is entitled.
This county has been lucky in re-
ceiving as a start such a large quota
of people of germanic origin from
the north of Europe, who seem tc de-
light in overcoming hardships. With
out them this country would yet
have had to wait for the start to the
further development which we have
cause to expect in a. future not very
far away.

By the County Agent -

p. M. Linnell of Mineral Center is
the first farmer in this county to ship
out Cook county, grown clover seed.
On Monday Mr.. -Linnell Shipped
slightly more than a. ton of medium
red and alsike seed to a southern
Minnesota seed firm. There is still
considerable seed to be hulled in his
community and farmers in the county
who will need clover seed next spring
would do well to get such local
ly grown seed and save the middle
mans profit and the freight cost on
seed shipped into the county ..-.
Some Of the Mineral Center farmers
early recognized the possibilities in
the growing of clover seed in, their
locality and q few years ago invested
in a clover huller. Limited acreage,
however, has until now made the mat

the fact that the seed can be shipped
without regard to temperature, an
important one as compared with po-
tatoes and other root crops. Like

present high freight rates which han

der the ashes of sorrow there are
always Goals Of living fire, which
kindness, sympathy and unselfish help
fulness can fan into glorious flame.
Even In the souls of the most dis
reputable and hardened sinners there
is ever burning an immortal spark Of
the heavenly fire hidden somewhere
beneath the sIumberlng gray ashes,
waiting to be rescued.
And in spite of the frowns of the
world, in spite of courts and prisons,
IN spite OF bereavement, Of poverty, Of
riches, or pomp, pride or envy, this
spark survives all through our earthly
existence, down to the final moment
when life itself despairingly flares up
and goes out, done with it's temporal
house of clay.
The question may then come to us
as to whether we have played our
part as becomes true Men and women,
and likewise whether ts7e spark in our
own souls has not been hidden by
the ashes which we, through neglect
Of Others have permitted to cover and
darken it.
It is so easy for sympathies and love
to go blind from disuse that unless
we keep them ever burning in our
own hearts they will never blaze suff1-
ciently to warm and cheer the hearts
of others, lost on the way and too
proud or weak to call for help.

" POLITICAL CAMPAIGN TOUR
ON A BICYCLE
KNOW YOUR OWN COUNTY


Not until you have made a trip
(preferably on bicycle) east of G1 land.
Marals, do you realize the agricul
tural possibilities of Cook county,
proved by the even stretches of ver-
dant ground, by the abundance of
hay, harvested and baled, by the
number Of sman farmers, living off
their dairy herds, by the products of
gardenstuff of all kinds, of flowers,
and even Of yellow ripe corn and
deep red loveapples, which the tillers
of the soil with rightful delight will
show to the amazed visitor. Did you
ever hear of or visit Moose Valley?
Or travel the road leading five miles
inland from Chicago Bay? Or trav-
erse the section of the county called
Mineral Center? Or did you on
some occasion follow the road lead
ing from the Lutsen school house
five miles up to the Light place
Or did you ever visit the farms on
the plateau back of Grand Marais.

you do not possess the right idea of
what our county really is. You do
not know, then, that it is not onlv

beauty, full of lakes, streams, water
falls, the abode for game and fish.

ty with nearly 100 mile long shore
line toward the worlds greatest in

But it is also place where a man
of small means can earn a living on
his own farm, if he cares to. 1t is
the poor mans and the small farm
er's paradise. 1t is place where a
man with five or six cows can make
a living for medium sized family
by shipping cream-directly to
creamery, not through a costly ;.sso~
citation, of course. This is only the
beginning. But there p~is no doubt
that dairying will be the future of
this county. Ours is country with
out a drought SO far. The pastures
are green for six months or more of
the year, and are able to feed tnou
sands of cattle each summer. And
did you ever taste more tender and
better Favored meat than that from
a fat, grass-fed steer or heifer in the

there are means of communication by

MIR. Hays was very generous and en-
thusiastic and has definitely arranged
for the working out of program in
which the facilities of the motion
picture houses may be used effective-
ly during American Education Week.
All governors, mayors and others
in places of executive authority are
expected and invited to issue procla-
nations and otherwise promote gen
eral observance of this great move.
ment in behalf of education The
newspapers and press generally i,ave
been invited to issue special eAuca-
tional editions if possible, and if this
is not possible to emphasize .educa-
tion during these days by editorials,
special articles, and such other ways
as they find possible.
1t seemed wise, in order that the
campaign might be concentrated upon
phases of education which are of
outstanding significance, to designate
certain days on which topics should
be stressed. These days are as fol-
lows:
Sunday ............ Cod and Cor,tr;
Monday ...... American Citizensi,;,>
tucSudy fdtTl0IlSsN
Wednesday ..... School and Teacher
! Thursday .............. ItIiteracv
Friday 49,. Equality Of Opportunity
Saturday Physical Education, Hygiene
These topics have been selected be-
cause they are considered to be mat
ters of national Importance and de-
sirable throughout the country. 1t
! is suggested that these topics should
not preclude the various states from
emphasizing those features of educa
| tion which need to be emphasized at
! this time in their respective states,
nor should they prevent cities and To-
! calities from pushing their individual
needs.

Her conclusion was drowned out.
"Oh, Florence, say not so! Say not
so, Florence! Say not sol"
The hateful entreaty still murmured
in her resentful ears that night, as
she fell asleep; and she passed into
the beginnings of a dream with her
lips slightly dimpling the surface Of
her pillow in belated repartee. And
upon waking, though 1t was Sunday,
her first words, half slumbrous in the
silence of the morning, were, "Vile
things" Her faculties became more
alert, during the preparation of
toilet which was TO serve not only for
breakfast. but with the addition of
gloves, hat, and blue velvet coat,
for church and Sunday school as well !;
and she planned a hundred ven-
geances. That is to say, her mind
dio not occupy itself with plc+s pos
sibly to make real; rather it dabbled
among those fragmentary visions that
love to overlap and displace one an
other in the shifty retina of the minds

ably suppliant. So she soothed her
self little-but not long. Herbert in
the next pew in church, and Henry in
the next beyond that, were perfect
compositions in smugness. They were
cold, contented, aristocratic; and had
an imperturbable understanding be-
tween themselves-quite perceptible
to the sensitive Florence-that she
was nuisance now capably disposed
of by their beautiful discovery of "Say
not so" Florence's feelings were un-
becoming to the place and occasion.
But at four o'clock that afternoon
she was assuaged into a milder con-
dition by the arrival, according to an
agreement made in Sunday school, of
the popular Miss Patty Fairchild.
Patty was thirteen and a half; an
exquisite person with gold-dusted
hair, eyes of perfect blue, and an al
