U.S.. Agriculture
Dept. Sends Exhibit
GIGANTIC EXHIBIT PREPARED
BY NATIONAL DEPARTMENT
AT DAIRY EXPOSITION.

A dairy exhibit prepared by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, called an exposition in itself, is
on it's way to the twin cities as the
governments contribution to the Nor
thwest Dairy exposition, Joseph
w. Hiscox, in charge of federal ex-
hibits, announced from Washington.
Workmen will start at once erect
ing the FL booths, comprising panora-
mas, miniature farm scenes, landscape
sets, and graphic charts, on the mez-
canine floor of the State Fair cattle
barn, where virtually all of the ex-
hibits of the exposition are to be CEN
tered State Fair week, julie M. Han
naford, Jr., executive chairman of the
exposition committee, said.
According to Mr.. Hiscox, the gov
ernment dairy exhibit will be not on
ly entertaining but of great practical
value. One of the booths is devoted
entirely to farmers cooperative
organizations, and another to the qu-
estion of foreign markets. The ex-
hibit requires 5000 feet of floor space
and has been built by corps of scenic
artists cooperating with farm lead
ers connected with the department of
agriculture. The booths are eight
feet across the back and eight feet
deep, the sides fiaring out at the front
to a width of 13 feet.
This exhibit, which has attracted at
tention wherever it has been shown,
is in great demand, but was consigned
to the northwest by special order Of
the department of agriculture in order
not to disappoint the great crowds who
will come to the northwest exposition,
Mr.. Hiscox said.

SPELL PROSPERITY.
LAST YEAR WAS GOOD.

Quite recently the First National
Bank of Bertha, Minnesota tabulated
a statement Of the creamery business
and bank DEPOSITS in that institution,
for the years from 1900 to 1922. The
statement is revelation of what the
dairy cow will do to increase COM
munity and Individual wealth. The
statement has particular interest for
Redwood County residents, since j.
C. Miller, the cashier making the
statement, is a former resident of
the County. Mr.. Miller is the son of
Mrs. Holt who formerly lived near
Delhi and who is now residing in
Minneapolis.
Mr.. Miller makes the statment that
in "the twenty-five years the cream
cry alone has brought total of $2,-
754,184.0O to the farmers of the
Bertha community. Those who
have visited Bertha in their trips into
northern Minnesota, realize that what
that country has done in this instance
could easily be greatly increased un-

LARGE WINDOW BROKEN.

One of the large plate glass dis
play windows in the Palace store was
broken one day last week. 1t was
later discovered that youngster ac-
cidently hit it while shooting at a
sparrow with a sling shot If the
youngsters persist in shooting these
things in the business section some
thing will have to be done. Not only
are the windows endangered but ped
estrians on the street may be injured
by flying bits of stone or metal that
are intended to hit some other object
but very often go astray.

Myrtle Arnett.

Myrtle Arnett, the thirteen year
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Arnett died suddenly late Sunday af-
ternoon of heart failure. Although
the little girls health has never been
very good nothing out Of the ordinary
had been noticed until the attack.
Her mother thought it was fainting
spell and summoned a doctor i'm
mediately but it was too late for any
thing to be done, death apparently
occurring instantly.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday,
August 20 at 1870 o'clock. Mr.. and
Mrs. Arnett have the sympathy of the
entire community in their sudden
bereavement.

counties. They will also quickly re
cognize that these southern Minnesota
counties have a vast source of wealth
which has been practically undevelop
ed up to the present time. The fact
that more and more of the farmers
are leaving grain farming for dairy

hopeful signs of the good times which
are coming.

appear that the element Of time enters
into the proposition; for no objection
seems to have come from England be-
cause Of the deal King Tut got.
Neither is romantic sentiment a con-
sideration. The British have never
boosted that one of their fellow-citi-
zens married into the original Ameri-
can aristocracy.
1t is wholly matter of satisfying
the thirty or more protesting fami-
lies who are constitutionally opposed
to excavators shoveling around indis-
criminately and disturbing the re-
mains of folks who had nothing to do
with the decision of John Rolfe in Sc
lecting his bride, whether he did so
while under the influence of the re-
bound, the duress of lonesomeness, or
what not. 1t would seem, therefore,
that the protestants have good ground
for their position. America, too, has
been getting along fairly well these
three centuries without the remains of
Pocahontas. Why start an agitation
of this kind after all these years?

POOR BOYS WHO
BECAME FAMOUS
BY Frederick HouK Law
William Taylor

A tannery is not the most pleas
ant of places. The sights and
doors are far from delightful. and
the work is not easy. In a tan
merry there toiled day after day
small boy named William Taylor.
He slipped about in the wet, COW
cred himself with stains. and did
his share of the work manfully. He
had come from a country farm on
which he had been born. To him
the tannery was an enlarged op-
portunity as compared with the
farm. He was able to earn more
money, to have a degree of free
dom and to have companionship.
More than that, he was able to at
tend church more regularly than
he could hope to do on the farm.
From the very first. William
Taylor was a religious person. He
took active part in services. and
by the time he was twenty-five
had been admitted to the ministry
of the Methodist church.
"They have found gold in Cali
fornia" was the excited cry that
went all through the country in
1S4S. Gold! You can dig it up
anywhere! You can be rich!"
With this cry ringing in their
ears hundreds of people set off
on the long journey to California,
some by way of the Panama 18TH
mus, and others in creaking
prairie wagons that moved slow
ly across the hot deserts of the
west. in constant danger of at
tacks from the Indians. Natural
ly, some of the most lawless peo-
pie in the world flocked to Cali
fornia. AT that time. among the
forty miners" went william Tay-
Tor, then a young man of twenty
eight, not to gain gold but to
preach and to keep men good. In
the rough mining town of San
Francisco. that was then full of
lawlessness, he organized the first
Methodist church and preached
regularly to his congregation.
After some seven years of the
most devoted service in a rough
community he looked for a still
greater field. and went from
country to country as a mission
airy. There was hardly a land in
the world that he did not visit.
Africa and India, South America
and Tasmania all heard him. In
number of books he told the
story of his great work: Chris
tian Adventures in South Africa"
-Four Years Campaign in India"
Our South American Cousins" "A
Flaming Torch In Darkest Africa"
and THE Story Of My Life"
The little Virginia tanner lived
a most adventurous life. but he
lived 1t earnestly and became the

Turkish concessions. From the be-
ginning the conference had as its puI+
pose, not justice to all concerned, but
special privileges. The Chester con-
cessions, granted by Turkey to a group
of American capitalists, were the rock
upon which the conference split and is
sinking, for those concessions were the
chief part of the prize for which the
powers were bidding. The oppor-
tunity had long passed for disciplining
Turkey as she deserved to be discip-
lined, and so the diplomats have
been obliged to yield on many vital
points. The signing of the treaty will
mean nothing, for affairs are left in
statu quo, the chief result being that
the Turks will now be harder to man.
age than ever.
The history of the conference has
been but repetition of the history of
the ages as respects Turkey, for Tur-
key has long played the powers one
against the other to her own benefit.
The greed and jealousy of European
powers have been the Turkish bull
wark against expulsion from Eu-
rope, and appearances go to show that
the Turk has lost none of his wiles
and the powers none of their stupidity
since the drama began centuries ago.
This time, however, the powers have
lost more heavily than usual because
of the fact that shrewd American
traders accomplished directly what the
powers were seeking to accomplish in
directly. Not only have the French
and British lost their priority of claim
to development of Turkish resources,
but also their legitimate demand for
naturalization of the Straits and JUS
tice to foreigners in Turkish courts.
1t is fortunate that the United
States has had no part in the iniquity
of the allied position. This govern
ment, not having been at war with
Turkey, was concerned only with GER
tain questions of general concern,
such as the open door to trade and
industrial opportunity, and proper
protection to American citizens en-
meshed in Turkish judicial procedure.
With the allied demand for special
concession this government was not in
sympathy. 1t is generally regretted
that the good has had to be lost
along with the bad in this general
Turkish triumph.

COMMANDMENTS
Dreams Of Fear of Death

Dreams of Fear Of Death
l believe ! have, on several occa-
sions. given you the interpreta-
tions of dreams referring to death
in Its various forms. and will
devote today's and tomorrow's
chapters to visions which bring
the fear of death to your mind.
Today l shall deal only with the
fear of death as it assails the
dreamer herself. When I speak
of fear of death I do not mean the
threat of death by violence, or the
approach to death through illness.
All these I have already spoken
OF. What have in mind is the
underlined. the vague emotion
which makes the dreamer realize
that she has only little while to
I'VE and that. without apparent
reason, she is standing ON the
threshold of the great unknown.
This dream in its most simple
meaning tells you that through
your own actions You are about
to undermine your worldly happi-
ness. In hundred and one WAYS
this meaning may be applied, and
1t Is impossible to enumerate all
the relations embraced by the
vision. 1t may mean that immoral
conduct is about to lose you your
nome; 1t may mean that other
vicious habits will cause you the
loyalty Of those around you; 1t
may mean that you will risk your
material happiness because of
some fancied gain; 1t may mean
that neglect of the sort which
amounts to little in one instance
but becomes accumulatively re-
pulsive after months and years,
has made your home a place
wherein those who should be
made to love 1t, do not care to
stay.
In other words. through your
own fault, through your own vi
ciousness. through your own
lack of regard for others, and for
the things that are right, proper
and good, you have reached the
crossroads of life where one step
forward in the wrong direction
will lead you into the abyss, and
only the soundest Judgment and
firmest determination will guide
you along the path in the right
direction.
Be careful Of every step you
take after you have had such a
vision. The warning is one which
no self-respecting woman can ie-
more.

BIRMINGHAM IN ART

That there is grandeur in industry
and in the processes by which the
crude elements of earth are trans
muted into new forms for the service
of mankind and the promotion of hu-
man progress has long been noted. The
artifice by which the smith has for
centuries turned shapeless metal into
commodities of beauty or usefulness
has long been praised by poet and
painter. Hephaestus, or Vulcan, was
revered as one of the gods, because
of his skill as a craftsman in metals.
There are times, however, when the
sense of the artistic is lost in the more
material aspect and contemplation of
industry. The discerning eye of the
artist is needed to point out the dra-
matte beauty of the huge plants that
ceaselessly turn out their tons of mer-
chandise.
In this connection the paintings of
the steel industry in Birmingham by
Mr.. Roderick D. Mackenzie receive
. especial mention and commentator
by the New Orleans Times-Picayune:
Among the pictures this artist
~ has shown in New Orleans, none
We're more impressive than suite
= of pastels showing the titanic OPP
erations of the great iron and
steel industry as manifest in the
Birmingham district. The painter
found there an inspiration that
+ carried him to far more grandiose
results than one would have ex-
pected from man whose quail
ties in other lines had been deli
cate beauty of flower, cloud, wave
and tender foliage.
The people of Birmingham recently
had opportunity to observe and study
these paintings. Undoubtedly they
made the citizens appreciate as never
before the poetry, the appeal of big
industry Now these paintings have
gone far and wide to reveal artistic
. Birmingham to the whole nation. At
the meeting of the American Iron and
Steel Institute week before last in
New York City, according to the
Times-Picayune: Judge Gary by per-
sonal solicitation secured the exhibit
, ton at the hotel of Mr.. McKenzie's
series of Birmingham studies depicting
& the various phases of iron and steel in
the making. An artist rarely has SO
competent group of spectators for
his specialized work and, we might
add, few special industries have been
so well served by such capable and
responsive hand" Birmingham is ap-
preciative of the distinction given her
by these works of art, and her sense
of gratitude to the artist grows as the
fame of his steel series spreads.
