A friend in New Orleans sent Mrs.
J. w. Dumas a box of "pralines," one
of the confections the recipe for which
has been handed down from old
Creole days. A praline is a small
cake of brown sugar, thickly set with
the fruit of the pecan nut. When it
comes to flavor, it has peanut bar
tied to post. In the old days ev-
erybody used to make them at home,
and they seldom went far from home,
but now they are made in factories,
packed in pretty boxes and sent all
over the world. Any Marion county
family with sugarcane patch and a
pecan grove can make them. They
are well worth the trouble of making
for they are both delicious and nutri-
tious. Mrs. Dumas made the reporter
happy by giving him one of the dainty
little cakes.

What truly wonderful transforma-
ton few days Of warm sunshine can
make in the aspect Of wintry land
scape. Only few days ago this part
of the state was held firmly in the
grip Of winter. The genial rays Of
the sun came and transformed as if
by magic the whole scene. Snow COW
cred fields and meadows became bare
and lakes and rivers are rapidly be,
ing released from the icy chains that
have held them fast since winter, be-
gan. The green grass takes shy
peep at the blue sky above and birds
are beginning to swell with restless
ness. Children are eagerly at play
by the pools Of water from melting
snow, just as if they had never seen
water before, and boys begin to talk
baseball again The robin and other
birds are with us again and the wild
geese true to their nature fly north
All nature is awake and stirring.
What stupendous change wrought
in the space of few days! .s
In the heart of man, also, a great
change has taken place. Darkness.
despair, dependency, hate and gloom
have given place to cheerfulness, op-
timism, love, and new hope. The
world is new again and with renewed
energy and strengthened will the chill
dren Of man sally. forth to labor, &C.
cording to Gods great plan. With
grateful hearts men turn their eyes
toward the, returning sun, with its
promise Of another harvest, and ex-
claim, God is good"

With the rising cost Of fuel, both
coal and wood, during the past few
years, and small prospects Of any ma
terial reduction in the future, the
people Of Minnesota may, well turn to
the extensive peat Dogs of the north
ern part Of the state, as means Of
relief. In many European countries
the value Of peat for fuel has long
been recognized, SO why not here The
most advanced method of burning peat
is to compress it into bricks in which
form the peat may be conveniently
handled and is clearly. In Kane coun-
ty, Illinois, company has been or
ganized, capitalized at $4,000, to be-
gin the manufacture Of peat fuel this
spring. A movement has been started
by j. j. Opsahl, of Bemidji, to induce
congress to establish an experimental
peat fuel manufacturing plant in Bel
trami county. This is a good move
and may result in little competition
for the coal barons Of the east The
day Of peat fuel is coming. The. peat
lands of Minnesota, comprising more
than million acres, s.. can furnish
cheap fuel for all the people of the
state for hundreds Of years. It is
about time that a beginning be made
in developing this long slumbering re-
source Of the state

The farmers Of the Northwest un-
questionably were hard hit by defla-
ton after the war and have much
cause for complaint, all will admit.
Farmers certainly have many Just
grievances. Many causes have no
doubt contributed to make agriculture
depressed, but to point them out is
no easy matter. Some will assign one
cause for this condition and others
will name something else. Unwise
laws, manipula ton Of markets, profit
eering, the gold standard, wall street,
labor unions, the railroads, the banks,
the Jews, in fact there is no end Of
causes given for the unhappy condi-
tons. 1t is always easy to look away
from ones self in order to- find some
one to blame. Yet by little self
examination we would probably dis
cover that some of the blame, perhaps
a great deal Of it, lies with ourselves
Perhaps we have not mixed the right
amount of brains in our work to make
it profitable. But there is one over
shadowing cause for the hard times in
the Northwest for which neither the
farmers nor anybody else can be held
responsible, and that is the climate
If the hot, sultry days last summer
had not come to ruin the crops, con-
ditions would not have been so bad.
If fair average crop Of Is to 20
bushels of wheat had been raised, in
stead of S or of inferior quality,
the Red River Valley farmer would
have been revealing i'll prosperity, not
withstanding the decrease in price of
wheat. Not many years ago farmers
thought dollar bushel was a pref.
ty good price. Also in places: where
mixed farming is carried the people
do not feel the hard times very much.
In Steele county, Minnesota, there are
% cooperative creameries in ~ town
ships and farmers there are not hard
up. According to the report just pub.
lished the Grygla creamery iii our
county did business amounting to
$48,972.97 in 1921. The Middle River
creamery did business of $44,0553;.O2.
This is a big help surely to these COM
=. When we learn to diversity
farm production we will not be-. sol
wholly dependent on climatic condi-
tions. -. ,"~*-# .t::

President Hardings attitude toward
prohibition should be gratifying to
those who have worked to outlaw the
booze business He says: "In every
community men and women have had
an opportunity now to know what
prohibition means. They know that
debts are more promptly paid, that
men take home the wages that once
were wasted in saloons; that families
are better clothed and fed, and more
money finds it's way into the savings
banks. The liquor traffic was de-
