No, the time honored windmill is
not doomed to the scrap heap. In
stead, it will soon be regarded as the
farmers cheapest source of electric
power, says q. A. Stewart, associate
professor of agricultural physics at
University Farm, st. Paul. The uni
versity has ordered wind electric
plants of all known types for use in
a test project to determine the eff
cheney of the windmill as q scourse

plants are success" says Professor

tion and maintenance and the small

FIREWORKS DISPLAY TO
| BE GREAT EXHIBITION
There viii Be Many Wonderful Fea-
lures For Visitors to Evening
Display. II

The elegance and massiveness of
this years exhibition of fireworks
to be produced by the Thearle-Duf-
field Fireworks Co., of Chicago at
the Stevens County Fair will far sur
pass, any heretofore given, according
to Secretary G. r. Wollthan.g
Tons of explosives will arrive for
the night program and special equip
ment will be erected in front Of the
grandstand in order that the new
est 1922 inventions in pyrotechnics
in set pieces may be properly staged.
From the esthetic: Flight of the
Faries' to startling "Radium Daz-
zlers" and thunderous Summer
Storms" the program this year is to
be masterpiece in fireworks. 1t in
cludes novelty devices of every vari-
ETY.. Patriotism, comedy, spectacle
and drama are displayed in fire and
color. History and fiction will be
accurately reproduced by fireworks
in many features.
Among the, specfalties the tabled
jeweled cave of "Sinbad" will be one
OF the most beautiful; Chasing the
BolsheVists'' another; and THE
Death of the Demons" a new me-
chanical device revolving on a high
pole, screaming, squirming and wig
wagging, seemingly in a desperate
effort to get free; and a reproduc-
tion of the American Flag floating
on the breeze is one of the patriotic
appeals of the program.
Beautiful colors will be shown
against the skies in specialties
known as the Rainbow Curtain"
and the Revolving kaleidoscope. ;"
In reality, the numberless different
new innovations this year to be pre-
sented beggar description for want of
space here.

HIGHWAY PATROLMEN
WORKING OVERTIME
Keep Roads Smooth Under Traffic
Grind-LOOk Out for Safety
Cut Weeds, Fight Fires.

Business is brisk with trunk high
way patrolmen around Morris and in
other sections of the 1000 mile sys-
tenn Of so-ca1led Babcock roads cover
ing all Minnesota, according to new
bulletin today from the state high
way department. ~ ~ 1,a,r
Record traffic and dry weather
generally are combining to make
more difficult the smoothing of the
trunk routes and extra hours of
work are necessary to make any fav-
orable showings. Many epatrolmen
are planning to follow a special sug-
gestion from st. Paul headquarters
to drag Immediately after the first
rain before traffic roughs up the road
and that may mean night work.
Prompt inspections of all beats to
prevent accidents at washouts are
required also. -.
To the peak of regular work lis
added weed cutting, ordered done
without delay. Patrolmen are in
structed to cooperate with the in
spectors, and in northern counties
with forest rangers to prevent fires
another special job often requiring
night labor.
Farmers can help to increase pub
lie safety on the highways, the bulle-
tin states, by cutting tall corn which
obstructs the view at road intersec-
tions. This suggestion follows re-
ports of larger numbers of highway
accidents at blind intersections. In
the same connection, farmers are re-
quested to leave few rows of corn
where they will serve as snow-fences
next winter. The latter proposal,
highway officials said, had been
proved practical by experiments
made last winter.

Mrs. Hen at the Fair.

Mrs. Hen has modestly petitioned
the Stevens County Fair, Morris,
September to for a place in the
big livestock show. Her request has
been granted, and generous premiums
have been offered to enable her to
put on a record breaking show.
"As matter of fact, we don't give
the old hen as much credit as she
deserves" said Secretary G. r. Woll-
than, today, when he announced the
plans for the poultry show.
"Old Mrs. Hen and her sisters can
increase the meat supply of a state
more quickly than tie pig, sheep or
COW. she is one Of the biggest money
producers on the average farm. The
flock of chickens on many farms pays
for all the groceries. dresses the fam
lily, and puts money in the bank"
Poultry specialists advance many
arguments in favor of the hen. A
hen lays forty eggs in the breeding
season. capable of producing twenty
healthy chicks. A chicken reaches
maturity as rooster or laying hen
in Ave to eight months, depending
upon the breed. No farm animal,
they say, can rival this in rapidity
of production.
The fair is offering many prizes
for common breeds Of poultry. A
premium list telling all about the
$4,000 in prizes will be mailed to
any one by Secretary Wollthan upon
request.
