CORN BECOMES

"Madelia Plan" Finds Favor
in Agricultural Sections
Where Money Became
Scarce, Reported.

MADELTA. MINI. Merchants of
Madelia and farmers of the surround.
ing country have been brought to-
gether as the result Of the accept.
ance Of corn as cash in the purchase
OF merchandise or settlement Of &C
counts.
In a two-month period just ended.
the merchants bought more than 49,
900 bushels Of corn at approximately
80 cents bushel, or q total Of $l0,-
500, which was new money released
in the community and relieved the
financial pressure on merchants to a
certain extent.
One Of the Greet results of the eN.
pertinent, which was copied in many
other towns as The Madelia Plan, ."
was the establishment here a few
weeks ago Of the Community Club,
organized to foster the fullest spirit
OF cooperation between the town
and county folk
When the market for the farmers
crops. especially corn, started on
the downward trend and in some
communities corn was sold as fuel or
burnt for fuel by the farmers p. H.
Lebak a Madelia business man, con.
ceived the idea Of accepting corn
from the farmers at 10 cents a bushel
above the local market price.

BUDAPEST-The fate Of Hungarian

GEORGE WASHINGTON
PORTRAIT Is FOUND

HARTFORD. Conn.-Discovery Of a
Iong-lost portrait Of George Washing.
ton by the American artist Gilbert
Stuart, in New York City recently,
directs attention to the Stuart por-
trait of Washington which hangs in
Memorial hall in the State Library
building here. Nearly every artist who
comes TO this city makes an effort TO
see this Gilbert canvas. IL was bought
direct from the artist by virtue Of a
resolution Of the general assembly in
May, 1900. The understanding was
that ii had been painted by order Of
a committee from South Carolina and
was then declined on the ground that
it was not u portrait Of General
Washington.
A copy OF a Washington after Stu.
art. but not by him. hung for many
years in the state house at New
Haven when Connecticut had two capi.
tails and two state houses, and is now
in the Hartford high school.

mere pigmies In the worlds vocabulary,
they are really veritable giants, ter
rible in their wrath, but cheering, con-
soling and inspiring In their love.
1t matters not how exalted or lowly
you are, or whether you be rich or
poor, strong or weak, you cannot at
any time in your dealings with others
afford to summon up ives" or "no"
without first giving serious thought Of
what may likely follow.
In all circumstances it will be found
advisable to use neither word until
you are absolutely sure OF your ground
and know your own heart.
Do that in all sincerity, and Eyes"

Z VEN though VIC are reasonably

of us suffer from feeling of forebod-

thing that disturbs our regularly or
dered existence.

Dose you have heard this sentence
spoken by those who should know bet
Ter! How often have you said the
nme thing yourself when you knew
that you'd never be entirely satisfied
when you announced your half-hearted
QEeh?
Things are either right or they're
wrong. There can't be any halfway
ground if one wishes to enjoy to the
fullest his own handiwOrk or the hap
pheSS of knowing that he has done a
valuable service for mankind. When
ever a person quits labOring at any
thing before the job is entirely salts
adOrily finished, there is certain to
follow disappointment and q sense of
reSentment against ones own careless
ness. And whenever one in authority
OEehS the work done by others by saw
ing that "it'lk do" neither he nor those
engaged on the job will ever be
Pleased as greatly as if the task had
Been perfectly done.
One Of the chief reasons why many
% through life unhappy and COM
pain Of their rough pathways, is the
ndlnatiOn they display by aiming too
elen Tor 'what'll do" rather than aim
nsconStantly for the very best.
fortunately there Is q growing ten
OACy to demand perfect goods and
lHiect work. There has been entirely
@ much imperfection in both finished
materials and in the way work is done.

unce Of absolute perfection, the diff

breakers ahead-these things plunge
us into gloom.
And we, in our turn, pass the gloom
along. For our friends, seeing the
black and foreboding faces that we
wear, grow gloomy too.
One sullen-faced man in an office
will sometimes spoil the day for the
entire working force.
One croaker on board a ship in
storm may send the whole passenger
list into something very like panic.
Nobody loves a gloomy man-but
everybody listens to him-and looks
at him.
The prophet of evil is never without
an audience.
Poe, In his remarkable poem shows
how the raven, by croaking the word
"nevermOre" was able to drive q luck
less poet almost to the verge of In
sanity.
Continual gloom is not good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
soming things upon the surface of the
earth.
We all need sunshine and a great
deal of 1t.
1t is not necessary to go about con-
tinually telling people how happy we
are, like Pollyanna, but We can at
least keep our trouble to ourself, and
not look as If we were limping along
toward the grave or the gallows.
The gloomy man or woman in
home destroys the happiness of an en-
tire family-and usually drives the
children out on the streets, where at
least there is air and sunshine, and
maybe now and then hurdy-gurdy.
The reason the jazz is popular, that
the comic supplement sells by the mil
lion copies, and that the comedian gets
a thousand dollars week is because
we will do anything to get rid of
gloom.
1t Is burden on life, q menace to
human happiness. If you are gloom
addict, change your mode of thought.
You are as much of menace to the
community In which you move as was

FIFTY YEARS AGO

A young man who practiced medicine
in Pennsylvania became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some of his medi-
cines before the public, and moving to
Buffalo, N. Y, put up what he called
his "Favorite Prescription" and placed
1t with the druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription has
long been recognized as tonic for dis
eases peculiar to womankind. After suf-
fering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy, weak
and dragged-down by weaknesses OF
her sex-a woman is quickly restored
to health by it's use. Thousands OF
women testify that DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription has entirely eradicated
their distressing ailments.
More recently that wonderful discov-
cry of DIR. Pierce's, called An-uric (for
kidneys and backache), has been sue
cessfully used by many thousands who
write DR.. Pierce of the benefits re-
ceived-that their backache, rheuma-
tism, and other symptoms of uyic acid
deposits in joints or muscles have been
completely conquered by its use.
Send 10c to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y,
for trial pkg. of any of his remedies,
or write for free medical advice.
