WAS SEVERELY BURNED

Winona, December 14.-Earl
Gardner, twenty two, farmer resid
ing north OF Chatfeld, was burned
about the body, yesterday by a
gasoline explosion. More serious in
jury was probably averted when he
was thrown Into a water tank by
his father.
Gardner was attempting to start a
gas engine in the milk house. With
a view to heating the cylinder, he
poured part of the contents OF a
small gasoline can over the engine
and struck a match, igniting it.
The flames spread to the hall
filed gasoline can, causing an eX
plosion and setting aflre Gardner's
outer garments.
Hearing the explosion, his father
ran to the milkhouse, picked up his
son and threw him into the water
tank. His legs were painfully
scorched, however, and he was taken
to the house where medical aid was
summoned.
He will be cnafped to his bed for
some time, the attending physician
said. Tae da-ase to the milkhoase
was slight.

Big Praise In Illinois
Farmer Near Good Thunder opens
y The Eyes of People With
His Stories

Productivness of the soil of Blue
Earth county has been heralded to
the people of Mendoza, illinois ac-
cording to the statement of The
Mendoza Recorder. That paper in a
recent issue states that William
Schwamberger living on a 240 acre
farm near Good Thunder recently
returned to Mendoza with his wife
and family for a short visit, and
while there told the people of that
vicinity Of the great fertility of
Blue Earth county land. According
to the article, it was surprising to
the people Of Illinois to think that
Minnesota away up north can pro-
duce just as good crops of corn as
Illinois. Mr.. Schwamberger told his
friends of the advantages to be
gained in this vicinity in the way of
dairying. stating that the cream
produced by five cows brings him in
an income of $l20 per month
The Recorder had the following
to say in regard to Mr.. Schwamber-
gers interview: Talking about
quack grass, Mr.. Schwamberger
said he had about fifteen acres of
the stuff on his farm. He got rid of
It by blowing and narrowing with a
John Deere spring tooth harrow,
burning UP the roots and keeping at
1t fer just one year, at the same
time raising good crop of corn.
The trouble with the Minnesota far
mer was that he tried to farm 100
nf 2A0 arrac nf land with bout fuyo
teams and old styled machinery. 1t
can't be done and the Illinois and
Iowa farmers are teaching them
how to make the most money and
progress. Take for instance corn.
They were not raising that crop.
They thought they were out of. the
corn belt and were not particular
when they planted the corn just SO
they had cattle feed Now they plant
the seed early in May and the corn
natures around the last part of
September or the first of October.
Corn makes from forty to eighty
bushels per acre. Land around Good
Thunder, close to town last fall sold
for $275> per acre. They have com.
munity school at Rapidan. The
country schools in that community
were sold at auction last week,
some OF the nice buildings brought
as low as SITS. The children will be
called for and taken to the consoli-
dated school at Rapidan in motor
buses free of charge. When Mr..
Sehwamberger went to Minnesota
five years ago he paid $3.50 per acre
for the 160 aad $3.50 per acres for
the 80 acre which lays across the
road. When he went to Minnesota
the farmers thought he would have
TO have about two hired men. He
took John Mitchell along with him
and when the work opened up these
two showed the neighbors how to
work and the dirt did fly. The folks
soon opened their eyes and they
have been keeping them open ever
since

VIEWS OF LAYMEN

Mankato, December 14.-To The
Free Press: A short time ago the
following article appeared in the
Free Press:
Good money that has gone into
Blue Sky. Thousands upon thou.
sands of dollars-perfectly good
hard cash-accumulated by strenu.
Gus work on the part of citizens of
this magnificent communicative
In the past few years. Just think
of the large amount of good that
wasted capital could have done in
this city had it been expended for
the creation of industries here. New
enterprises could have been put at
work, thus enlarging the payroll OF
this city and circulating money
from away in the local trade chan
nels-not to mention the dividends
that could have filed the pockets
of those who could have invested
their loose change in their home
isntead Of handing it over to the
glib tongued peddlers Of light and
airy stock.
But history will repeat itself in
spite OF frequently published warn
ings and a job-lot Of harrassing ex-
periences which buyers of fake
stock have passed through The
burnt child avoids the fire, but the
buyer Of blue sky, like the poor, is
always with us-ready to be taken
in again and again. He would rather
hand his gelt over to a smooth, suave
every ready, oily tongued individual
than buy shares in a home concern
that would not only assist in build
ing up the community, but must pay
him a pretty good dividend"
We fully agreed with the view of
The Free Press as expressed in the
above article, and take this means
OF expressing our appreciation of
having daily publication that is
rendering its best efforts to the up
building of its own community and
the surrounding territory.
1t is a known fact that industries
in and around Mankato is the direct
source from which Mankato receives
its revenue For instance, take an
industry, such as the Mankato Hol-
stein Farms. This is not only of
much value to the community in the
way of show place TO take visi-
tors to, but it is a source of much
revsnue to Mankato and the com
munity as well as many breeders OF
purebred Hplstein cattle come from
throughout the United States TO
visit this breeding farm, thereby
leaving a certain amount of money
in the community. The sale Of stock
brings in thousands of dollars each
year, which is distributed in Man
kato and the community.
Such industries should get the
very last support of the business
men and citizens of Mankato and
others should be urged to enter In
to similar enterprises. Many of
such great dairy breeding establish
ments for the breeding of purebred
dairy cattle IN the vicinity of Man
kato would mean much in the way
of publicity and additional finances
for the locality. Only few estab-
lishments Of this kind would be
equal to the value of large manu-
featuring plant located within the
borders of our city.
Mankato people are noted for their
spirit of boosting and it is hoped
that no one will lose an opportunity
of encouraging such institutions
