VISITED COUNTY FARM

Eoltor OF vernon Center News
/ Speaks Highly of Management
Vernon Center News: They say
that all newspaper men are only
two jumps from the poor farm, how :
ever, we did not expect to get there
seemed to come our way and
through the kindness of gouu
friend, J. A. Lowell, the editor and
his family had a nice auto ride last
Sunday that took US to the poor
farm, where We spent a couple OF
hours. Our ride took us through Ra =
pidan and down the old Red Jacket
hill and we believe there is no pref
tier scenery anywhere. AS We
passed along the road in the neigh
borhood of the county farm we not
iced a number of truck farms and
seemingly a good many acres OF
Strawberries. But we were told by
several that the crop was very light
this year.
Upon arriving at the farm We
found that it was dinner time anu
that twenty three inmates and over =
seer and Mrs. Young and the other
help were busy eating. We founu
our way about and looked through
the buildings and over the farm
land. Everything seemed to be in
good condition. Above all we could
not help but congratulate those In
charge for the fact that everything
was clean and orderly.
After dinner the inmates 1ouuu
their way to the large porches where
there was plenty of chairs. II was a
hot day and everyone was trying to
keep cool. Allen Olmstead was with
the rest and we called out, Hell
lo'. Allen came out with smiles
beaming over his face. He wishes To
be remembered to his friends and
said that he finds plenty to keep
him busy and likes the farm fine
He looked we'll and hearty and SAID
that he was enjoying plenty OF
strawberries these days. Just a few
steps behind Allen was another per-
son whose face we recognized but
whom we did not expect to see. II
was John Wendt. John said that ne
only stayed in the county Jail some
two days after his sentence 10.
moonshining and was sent out to
the farm to serve out his time
which will be until August 2S. He
has to help with the farm work anu
the milking. They have fourteen fine
Guernsey milch COWS on the farm
John said he had no idea of making
his getaway and said they were
very good to him. His Ford sat in
the yard and whether he Is given
liberty to leave in 1t we did not
learn.
We found Overseer Young a
mighty nice person to meet and he
expressed his regrets that we did
not arrive on time to eat dinner as
his guests and judge for ourselves
whether or not he was doing justice
to his work for the county. He
asked about former Commissioner
H. c. Kraus and paid him fine
tribute as one who took a lot Of in
terest in the work Of the farm
while he was in the office. He told
us to remind Henry that he had not
been around that way for a lone
time.
Mr.. Young asked If we ever ate
strawberries and as we answered in
the affirmative he turned the buncf
into the patch to fill large box fol
us.
| AS we said in the start, we did
not expect to get to the poor farm
SO quick but we will say that Blue
Earth county is doing we'll by those
who are making their home at tf<
farm. We believe that the people O
the county and state should take
more interest in the institutions tina
they support with their tax money.

Blow Affected Kidney

Waseca, June 2S.-People in Wa
SEGA and Iosco were shocked to
hear of the death of Patrick Nor
gan who passed away at the Mem
orial hospital in this city last We'd
nesday.. He had been feeling fine
Sunday but that evening he was
taken Ill suddenly and rushed to
Waseca. An X-ray examination was
made and It disclosed an affected
kidney. 1t is believed that this was
caused some time ago by blow he
received from a plow handle while
he was working in the field. The
blow was SO painful at that time
that an operation was necessary.
While it was not believed to be
very serious at that time an abscess
developed later and complications
set in Sunday night which resulted
in his death.

ENLARGE DAIRY CATTLE BUILD.
INES

During an informal reception
staged by the officials Of the Dairy
Cattle congress, at its grounds,
Tuesday evening, for business and
professional men of Waterloo the
visitors were shown over the
ground and through the buildings
which now represent an investment
of more than $4,000. Plans for
the coming show which will be held
September "a to 80 inclusive, are not
only for greatly increased facilities
both for industrial and livestock
exhibits but for the care and well
fare of the 100000 guests which an
nually attend the show. The diree-
tors Of the show have adopted per-
manent building plan which will be
carried out from year to year as
funds become available. The prin-
cipal improvements to be added
within the next few months are the
construction of a new industrial ex
hibition hall; the enlargement of
the automobile display building and
the installation of a larger and more
adequate water system. Several
new automobile entrances will also
be constructed. These will serve
to eliminate the congestion of cars.
During the meeting 1t was revealed
that a census of the automobiles
taken on the grounds one day last
year showed that seventy -four Iowa
counties, nineteen states and the
Dominion of Canada, were repre-
sented. Undoubtedly a complete
check on the two large parking
spaces outside the grounds would
have shown every county in the
state were represented.

WILL HAVE DAIRY SHOW

A dairy show REVEALING the Nation
al Dairy Show at, Syracuse, New
York, is to be staged by the Mime
sofa State Fair and Northwest Dairy
Exposition September l to s. as it's
greatest educational feature. To at
tract dairy herds from all over the
continent, premiums totaling $21,665
are being offered for dairy cattle,
nearly double that offered by the
State Fair in 1922. This has been
made possible by the raising of a
special fund for that purpose by the
Minneapolis Civic and Commerce
Association and the Saint Paul As
sociation of Public and Business Af-
fairs, cooperating with all the other
organizations interested in the de-
west. The prizes offered are as fol-
lows, Holstein, $4,000; Jerseys, $5,- :
600; Guernseys, $1,000; Ayrshires; (;
81, 900; Brown Swiss, $2,155: and
Boys and Girls Calf Club Contest
$500. The total is $21,655. A ma
tional campaign is to be waged in
the next two months to interest
breeders of dairy cattle in coming to
the Minnesota State Fair; The Ma
tional Dairy Show follows the State
Fair, two weeks later, permitting
breeders to exhibit at both the expo
lsitions without diffculfity. All the or
ganization machinery which made
the National Dairy Show at the Min
nesota State Fair grounds such a
success in 1922 has been thrown be-
hind the big Northwest Dairy show
at the State Fair this year, and a
tremendous increase in attendance
from the country district is antici-
pated at the fair as a result.

Chapter LXXL.
By CAROLYN BEECHER

Nudptcf AhAA
In spite of their growing intimacy
Bruce never again displayed his feel
ings as he had when he impulsiyely
kissed Lulu on their moonlight auto
mobile ride. Often he would say to
himself:
AIll see her this once more and kiss
A-sr good-by." But when the time
came his resolution was forgotten.
He thought Of the warm heart hid
den under that beautiful exterior. Her
beauty and gay brave words concealed
strength for devotion and self-sacri-
flee. 1t was happiness to be with her,
all the real happiness he had. All the
bitterness in his heart rose at the
thought of giving her up--and what
for? For woman who had used
her love TO make his life a hell.
Sometimes he wondered what Lulu
felt for him. She mustn't care too
much. Then he would be detached,
cooler than usual and she realizing
the reason, would drop her alluring
manner and be the simple comrade
again. But never had she forgotten
or forgiven Muriel. Never had she
ceased to long for revenge on the
woman who had insulted her. But
there was a voice in her tina. warned
her to be patient. She was certain she
would win Bruce's love in time-if al
ready it was not hers. The happiness
of life would be won to her once she
was sure of his love. Further than
that she did not look.
Bruce showed an increasing interest
in her affairs and she told him proudly
she was getting on and her pay had
been raised.
would you still like a shop of your
own?r he asked one day after she
had outlined a plan she had for in
creasing the business, a plan she had
not as yet spoken O. to Nine. Orion.
~Of course 1 would. But it takes
money to go into business in the right
way. so 1 shall probably stay with
Nine. .Orten as long as she will have

brings me very little real happiness.
/ will set you up in business"
Joyfully they planned. Lulu in
sisted upon everything being on a
clear business basis.
@Just as if were a man." she told
him. "You lend me the money. /
will pay you the interest and then
pay off the principal as fast as 1
can"
He laughingly agreed, although tell
ing her she need not worry. He drew
the money from the bank, had her
make deposit in her own name, and
then told Ter to ego ahead"
