OLD FRIENDS.

It's fine to have lot Of friends, to
have from day to day
Some very influential friends to help
you on your way.
It's fun to have some merry friends
to cheer you with song,
It's sweet to have some gentle friends
when things are going wrong,
It's good to have some honest friends
to tell a man the truth,
But best Of all among your friends
some friends you knew in youth!
It's fine to have lot of friends, all
sorts of friends to know;
Thank God you have them rich and
poor, you have them high and low.
The rich will help you in your need,
the poor a word will say
To make you rich as any man when
you're as poor as they.
The high will tell you where to aim,
the low will tell you how
But may you have some friends of
youth, old friends who know you now.
It's fine to have a lot of friends, but,
oh for just few
To link us to the days of youth, the
old among the new.
It's fine to have some merry friends,
and yet l hope I know
A few who know me as l am, who
knew me long ago.
A stranger longs in alien lands to
hear his native tongue
A fellow needs in alien years old
friends to keep him young!

Farm Prices Coming
Back.

Farm lands that have been at a
dead standstill all over the North
west for the past six years are be-
ginning to show signs of life and we
believe that within a year we will
be witnessing a brisk farm land
movement.
The crash in farm land values which
came so suddenly six years ago is
a dark page in Minnesota's business
history for it spelled financial ruin
for thousands of land owners and
land dealers all over the Northwest
and partially paralyzed all branches
of business.
Thousands of men who were safely
worth from $4,000 to 100000 found
themselves ''broke" in less than a
year and the banks and loaning in
,stitutes suffered accordingly.
1t will be long time before we
experience another such disastrous
boom as this but unless all signs fail
Minnesota and the Northwest are due
for period of activity in farm lands
which will carry with it steady in
crease in values.
Those who have been able to wea-
Their the storm and hang on will soon
feel the relief that comes after a
long period of stagnation.-St. Paul
Herald.

GAS TAX ASSURES
$1,00O,OOO EXTRA FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS

Minnesota will have 81 200, 900 more
income for trunk highway construc-
ton annually than was forecast when
the state legislature passed the two
cent gasoline tax.
The act was predicted on the basis
that the annual revenue for a full
year would be S4,000,0O0. But these
are the results:
Gas in storage May 1, when the act
became effective, will bring $377, 1885,
70, and the 2-cent tax applied against
the gas shipped in for May will be
about $430,0OO.
The month Of May, experience has
shown, brings the sale of less than the
average monthly consumption of gas
by motorists in the state and the pre-
dictlon now is that in 1925 the total
tax paid, including that on the gas in
storage, May 1, will be about $4,000
600, and for a full year at least S.
100000. ~
The chief inspector has certified to
the state auditor that 18,SSS,314 gal
Ions OF gasoline was in storage May L,
THIS is to bring a net revenue of
71,766.28, of which 1921, 23O.62 al
ready has been turned over to the
state treasurer.
thus far the rebates, which are au-
thorlzed under the law have totaled
only $500, but claimants have 80 days
In which to file claims.

Sunday Night at The
Hospital.

A man was visiting one of the local
hospitals on a recent Sunday after
noon
"You don't seem to be very busy
here" he said to a nurse.
mo, not very busy right now" was
The reply; "but wait till later in the
evening, when the automobile acct
dents begin to come in"
And usually what the nurse had in
mind when she said that happens:
Sundays pleasuring produces its
regular crop of casualties that make
the hospitals very busy places indeed
when the automobile accidents be-
gin to come in"
And it will be so until all automo-
bile drivers learn, if it is possible for
some of them to learn anything, not
to speed, not drive while drunk, not
to be careless at crossings, not to
neglect being extraordinary careful
when passing other cars or being
passed, and not to be careless about
signals.-EX. -

Americas Red Letter
Day.

With the most significant of all
national holidays-Independ Day
near at hand, few Americans, young
or old-are thinking of that anniver-
sary otherwise than in connection
with the signing of the declaration
which cut loose the United Colonies
forever from political connection with
Europe-and not of the other July
4ths that have been notable in Am
erican history.
Writing in the July number of The
National Republic, Washington, Earl
w. Gage calls attention to the fact
that July 4th is otherwise notable in
American history, July 4th, 1886, Ro-
ger Williams founded Providence, R.
l., July 4th, 1744, the Blue Ridge
Mountain country was bought from
the Indians; July 4th, 1854, Colonel
George Washington surrendered Fort
Necessity to the French and Indian
allies; on the same day Benjamin
Franklin was a delegate at confer
ence with the six tribes and predict
ed the future union of the colonies;
on July 4th, 1856, occurred Braddock,s
disastrous defeat; July 4th, 1777,
Boonesboro, KY, was attacked by
the Indians, and the terrible Wyoming
Valley Massacre occurred; July 4th,
1778, Major George Rogers Clarke
captured Kaskaskia from the British;
July 4th, 1S45, the Texas convention
voted annexation to the United States;
July 4th 1S48, the Independence Of
California was declared; July 4th,
1926, Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams died; July 4th, 1881, James
Monroe died; July 4th, 1848, work
was started on the Washington monu-
ment; July 4th 1861, President Lin
coin asked Congress for 100000 men
to defend the Union; July 4th, 1864,
President Lincoln received word of
the victory at Gettysburg and the
capture of Vicksburg.
These with other incidents of minor
moment, have made July 18th notable
in American history.
