Sheffield Hogs
Top Market
at Chicago
FIFTY-TWO HEAD OF HEAVY
BUTCHER HOGS SELL AT S13.40
PER HUNDREDWEIGHT 81 BA-
BY BEEVES AT $11.35 PER CWT.

Another livestock breeder of Red
wood County, F. J. Sheffield of
Brookvillc township, made shippers
to tho Chicago livestock mar
ket take particular notice last week,
when So head of heavy butcher type
hogs, fattened at his stock farm,
made the extreme top of thai market,
selling for $3.50 per hundredweight.
Mr.. Sheffield states that his hogs
were so fat and being tired from
their trip that they blocked the entire
alley in the Chicago yards for two
hours, and many buyers admired the
shapely porkers.
Aside from the top-notch hogs, Mr..
Sheffield shipped 100 head of fattened
cattle to the same market for which
he received the following prices: 80
head of baby beeves sold at $i1.35 per
hundred; ~ head of fat steers brought
$780,; 8 cows at 5000 and 2 cows at
SIPS. He is well satisfied with the
prices received for his cattle, stating
that with but few exceptions were
higher prices paid on other shipments
received at that market on the same
day.
He intimated that after viewing the
crops in northern Iowa, Illinois and
southern Wisconsin in his estimation
crops in this vicinity were by far in
the better condition. The cats crops as
whole is light and corn uneven in
the sections visited by him. He re-
turned from Chicago last Wednesday
afternoon.-Springfield Advance.

The New Commissioner.

Herb Hotaling is not entering upon
the discharge of any new duties by
assuming the title of Tourist Com
missioner of the State of Minnesota
He has been tourist commissioner for
many years. He has been calling at
tention to Minnesota for long time.
He has been inviting tourists from
every corner of the country and from
every quarter Of the globe to e5-le
here for their rest and recreation.
The new state administration no.
would have thought Of such an Office
as tourist commissioner had not Herb
Hotaling, long ago, made the office
for himself by the way he has serv-
ed the "Ten Thousand Lakes" pro-
ject.
OF course his work is not state
wide. He no longer officially repre-
sents one part of the state. as for
instance the lake region, but he now
is the spokesman of the whole state.
While the tourist is, and always will
be, attracted mostly to the northern
part of Minnesota, there are parks
and places of interest in every part
of the state and Herb will impair
TALLY commend every section.
Like the rest of US in this part of
the state Herb is prairie gopher
His home is at Mapleton, in Blue
Earth county, where he has been
publisher of the Enterprise" for 81
years. He knows every part of the
state and he is one Of those who re-
allies that what helps one part OF
Minnesota helps every other part.
Herbert Cleveland Hotaling is a
native of Minnesota, being born in
Mankato, so long ago that that it
matters not. He is thus one of the
states natural resources and by nc
means the least among the many.
We congratulate the Conservation
Department upon having added to
it's force a man of the ability, ener.

Are You the Guardian?

You read on Mondays such head
lines as this. "Three drown as thous-
ands flock to the beaches," and you
will read them through this summer.
If you go farther, you will find
again and again that it was the
best swimmer of the party who
drowned, and someone remarks, at
is always so," and that it that.
If YOU are the best swimmer, it
may seem natural to you to go far
Their than the rest; you feel sure you
can do it, and there is a spunky hu
man quality in matching ones pow
ers against nature. And ninety-nine
times out of 100, maybe better, you
can do it.
But another thing to think of is
that if you are the strongest swim
mer, you are the guardian of the par
ty, whether you have any other res
possibility OF not.
No one will come out to rescue
you-you'H take that chance, as you
doubtless have right. But if you're
using up your strength and skill,
where is the reserve margin? Where
is the guarantee that nearly always
has been issued in the form of
"Oh, Bill is going, and he's a wonder
full swimmer We don't believe
in hanging around with one foot
on the bottom; it is no so that ad-
vances are made in your own strength.
But there are plenty of occasions
for improving skill and endurance
In the ordinary holiday swimming
party, ability is very mixed.
You have the privilege of limiting
your own exploits-of holding your
self in reserve to be the guardian OF
the rest.-Milwauke Journal.

The Primary Law.

j. S. Mclean, former editor of the
Minneapolis Tribune was strong fol
the primary election law, and wrote
many editorials favoring it. Since
then he has witnessed the functioning
of that law, he has seen the absurdity
of the measure, he does not see one
feature to commend it, and is now
just as stronge for it's repeal as he
was for it. He says:
For the first time in my life /
have been a candidate for public Of

rect primary system. No the grapes
are not sour; was elected.
Though active as an editor IN 1898
and 1901 in helping to legalize and
install this direct primary system, |
have long since repented in sackcloth
and ashes for the mistake l made then,
and every time l went to a political
meeting before the recent election
and saw myself and other in effect
no matter how modestly and shame
facedly-soliciting the votes of the
people on our own initiative, l was
reminded of the colored person who
had been convicted of murder in the
first degree in a state where capital
punishment was still in vogue, an0
the prisoner knew it.
The court asked him, as is the GUS
tom, whether he had anything to say
for himself before sentence should
be pronounced and he replied with
pardonable agitation: mo, sab,
reckon not, Mistah ledge, only dis
am gwine to be a lesson to me-"
And "them's my sentiments" exact
ly. I can think of nothing more alb
surd and illogical, pernicious in po
litics than this direct primary sys

Ever meet one of those fellows
without enthusiasm? Entertaining,
aren't they? You get all popped up
about something, and they yawn and

The Fool Hen.

Once upon time there was fool
hen who sat on china doorknob for
three weeks expecting to get a ia
mily. The only thing she did get
was experience.
The advertising field is full Of
selma doornob propositions"
There are three principles to fol-
low in an advertising campaign
First of all, find business that will
stand advertising; secondly, find the
newspaper that will make the ad-
vertising pay; thirdly, give the news
paper time to pay.
You can't start in to breed dollars
in less time than it takes to hatch
them any more than you can pull
a hen off the nest before she has
had a chance to incubate. In both
cases you simply waste what has
been invested. If you stop too soon
YOU will get a rotten egg instead of
a chicken.-Dassel Dispatch. :

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

Electricity as Farm Power Stands
Tests-More than $4,000 wo:th Of
electrical and farm equipment has
been loaned by SO different compan-
les for practical efficiency tests on
the eight farms making up the .ural
project out of Red Wing. Sixty-one
meters have been installed on the
eight farms to measure the current
used in the various operations. The
project is under the supervision of
E. A. Stewart of the agricultural
engineering division, University of
Minnesota.
Several comparative tests of the
cost of gasoline and electricity for
threshing grain, pumping water,
husking and shredding corn and saw
ing wood have been made ON the
farms. In every case, says Mr.. Stew
art, the cost of electricity at three
cents per kilowatt hour has been less
than the cost of gasoline and oil used
IN doing the same amount of work.
1t was found, too, that when there
is ready market for wood and an
opportunity for the farmer to utilize
his time to good advantage in doing
things besides cutting wood, it is eco
nomy to use electricity for cooking
rather than to use wood. One of the
farm families weighed the amount of
wood used for cooking purposes af-
ter paying man to saw, split and
pile it. The actual cost of the wood
as delivered in the woodbox last De-
cember was slightly greater than the
cost of the electricity used in doing
the family cooking in January.

::COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS:
Regular Meeting

Regular monthly meeting of the
Common Council of the City of Sank

P. M. with all the members in at

The minutes of the previous meet
ings were read and approved.
The representatives of the North
western Telephone Company were
present and arranged to meet COM
mittee of the Council and try and de-
eide what could be done about chang
ing the pole line on the west side of
Main Street from Second Street north
to the bridge. The President ap-
pointed Aldermen Salmond, Wake
field and Cass as such Committee
with power to act.
Arthur Weisner appeared before
the Council and stated that seven out
of eleven of the property owners on
the south side of Lake View Avenue
wished to put in a four foot walk
from Main street to the lake. Engi-
neer Bonner was directed to establish
the lines and grade stakes for such
walk according to the established
grade and make an estimate of the
cost of necessary grading.
Alderman Wakefield moved that
the hitching posts on the south side
of Third Street and on Fourth Street
just south of the Bruce Block and
back to the east end of the Konne
store be removed and the line extend
ed on east to the alley. This caused
some discussion but the motion was
seconded and carried by the following
vote, to-wit: Aldermen Holme, Wake
field and Salmond voting Aye; and
Aldermen Cass and Pangburn voting
No.

annual problem for the housewife.
Untiring care and watchfulness at all
seasons is the surest safeguard against
these insects. Frequent airings and
sunbaths are an ever-present remedy,
for moths do not frequent articles
that are often used, or rooms that are
frequently swept and aired. All wool
or fur clothing should be aired in
the sunshine for several hours at
least once month.
The surest way to protect clothing
from damage by moths during stor-
age is to rid it Of all moths, eggs, or
larvae by beating, brushing, and air.
ing, and then to seal it up so that no
more moths will have access to it.
Packages closed by means of strips
of paper pasted over the joints are
safer than when tied with string.
One can purchase large bags of heavy
or tarred paper which may be sealed
tight, or bags made of heavy cotton
cloth and sewed up on the machine
will be moth proof. Such recepta-
cles will provide safe storage space
for. the summer if there are no moths
in the garments when they are put
away.
Camphor balls or napthaline may
repel the insects but will not kill them
and their usefulness as a repellant
disappears with the loss of strong
odor. Closets and chests used for
storage should be tight. A small
amount of carbon bisulphide in a sau-
Ger may be enclosed in such storage
places once a month and the gas
which is liberated by the volatilizing
of the liquid will destroy all insects
which are present. This must be
used with care and kept way from
all fire, as this gas is explosive when
combined with the right amount of
air.-Ethel Phelps, home economics
