"Pa" Drives Oxen;
"Ma" Likes the Ford

Mama Goes Where Papa Goes" in
the case of Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Sager
of Seymour, Iowa. She rides in a
covered wagon drawn by yoke of
oxen, while if "Pa" Sager takes a
trip with "Ma" he rides in zone of
them snortin' gas critters" which she
so ably pilots.
"Pa as he is known hereabouts adj
mits that he is just as old fashioned
in the matter of transportation as
"Ma" is progressive. He was 10
years old, he says, when he drove his
first yoke of oxen, ~ years ago, and
he still is partial to that means of
locomotion. Whenever a circus, rod
go, or other day of crowds and cele-
bration occurs in this SETON, "Pa''
Sager drives into town with his an
lent equipage, swinging his long whip
and whisting "The Irish Washerwo-
man."
But not for "Ma". She has worn
out two flivvers and is driving her
third. She'll have a new one when
this one ceases to function properly
she allows. "Ma" Sager readily ad-
mits to " years of life, and declares
she is finding more enjoyment in each
successive one. Recently she covered
the distance between Seymour and
Charlton slightly less than 40 miles
in an hour and 10 mintes.
'Pa" admits that he hangs on "tar-
nation hard" and that his "eyes bung
out of foot" when his better half steps
on the gas pedal and doesn't slow up
a bit uphill or down. He also says
that he keeps his eyes on the steer
ing wheel, but admits that he doesn't
know what in the world he'd do with
it if "Ma" lets go, for it wouldn't do
any good to yell Gee" or "Haw" at
the thing.

4. Rinse the milk receiving car
and separator bowl with quart OF
two of hot water just before running
milk into the separator.
5. Cool the cream as it comes from
the separator or Immediately after
and keep it cold until sold.
6. Never mix warm and cold
cream, or sweet and slightly sour
cream.
7. Provide a clean, covered water
tank for holding the cream cans and
change the water frequently in the
tank so that the temperature does not
rise above 60 degrees. A satisfactory
arrangement may be made by allow
ing running water to flow through
the cream tank to the stock watering
tank.
8. Skim the milk Immediately af-
ter each milking. This will take less
work and be more satisfactory than
to hold the milk from one milking to
the next.

of about four or five minutes the
current was passing through his
body. Several persons had gather
ed at the scene of the accident, but
they were warned not to touch him
nor the electric wire, although the
wire was insulated. After the cur
rent had been shut off the wire was
cut from on top the pole.
Clarence Clark, standing on the
roof of small building few feet
from where Mr.. Bedow was working,
and Dover Jensen, watching him from
the rear Of the Jensen Mercantile Co.,
were the only witnesses of the acct
dent. They saw him when he start
ed cutting the wire and when he sud-
denly fell to the ground. Young
Clark notified William and Mel Cut
ting who were sitting in car at the
rear of the New Store and they in
turn called the city plant. Jensen
notified his father and he too, notified
the city plant and called for doctor.
Coroner Rieneke of New MIN arrived
a short time later and pronounced it
a case of death by accident.
An experience week ago nearly
cost Mr.. Bedow his life while he was
at work on one of the city's electric
lines, but at that time he was able to
release his grip upon the wire by
falling backwards. 1t is believed that
had not the ground been saturated as
the result of an early morning rain
Friday, he would have survived the
shock which took his life.-Sleepy Eye

FIND COLD WATER BOOSTS

YAM lNICNiE CN tARAi
Natures gift of cold water on their
farms is being taken advantage of by
thousands of farmers for increasing
their income from dairying. This is
done by making use of the cold water
for cooling their cream quickly and
keeping it cold and sweet, and thereby
'cashing in" on the premium being
paid Tor sweet cream. Sweet cream
is always worth more money for but
ter manufacturing purposes than
sour cream, and the farmers who cool
their cream quickly and keep it cold
until it leaves the farm, are making
handsome additions to their incomes
in this manner.
The following practical suggestions
to dairy farmers aid in the production
of sweet cream butter.
1. Place the cream separator on
a firm foundation in clean, we'll
ventilated room, free from all often
Sive odors.
2. Thoroughly clean the separator
after each skimming. The bowl
should be taken apart and washed,
together with all the tinware, every
time the separator is used.
3. Wash the separator bowl and
all tinware with cold water and then
with warm water and washing pow
der, using a brush to polish the sur
face and clean out the cream from
the cracks. Finally scald with boil
ing water. Do not wipe the bowl and
tinware with a cloth or drying towel,
but put them to dry in place where

Sugar Beet Brings
Wealth to Martin

With promise of harvesting the
best sugar beet crop ever grown in
Martin county and a realization of
better than $4,000 tons of beets, ap-
proximately 70 beet growers of the
county will receive total of 100000
for the entire crop.
81 am sure the crop this year will
out do any grown in previous years."
said H. w. Chase, manager of the east
half of the county. eve will start
harvesting about September 25th."
Mr.. Chase displayed beet taken
from the Walter Luedtke beet field
that weighed a little better than four
pounds.
"This beet is little better than the
average, but on the whole the stand
this year is good and without doubt
the best it has BEEN"
Walter Leudtke's Is acres of beets
on his place south of town are look
ing in top shape.
The largest single field of beets II
the county is owned by Jake Wilson
six miles northwest of Fairmont. He
has patch covering So acres. This
field is all "laid by" everything Ready
for harvesting.
Last year beets averaged 1912 tons
to the acre, and according to Chase
representative of the American Beet
Sugar Company of Mason City, Ia,
the average will be higher this year.
1t is estimated there are 1900 acres
in beets in the county.
Taking low estimate of ten tons
to the acre far below what the aver
age is expected to be, it would make
total harvest of $4,000 tons of beets
for the entire county.
A Sc ton guarantee is given by
the American Beet Sugar company.
At Sc per ton the whole crop would
be valued at least 800, 00O-Martin

DELAWARE men HAVE
MADE GOOD In SERVICE

Throughout the struggle for Am
erican independence, when the arm
les of the colonies were Valiantly
battling against overwhelming num-
bers, native sons of Delaware fought
side by side with soldiers of Mary
land, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In the second war with England they
were with Perry on Lake Erie and
with Jackson at New Orleans; they
fought beside the gallant defenders
of the Lone Star State in the War
with Mexico; $4,000 of them answer
ed I.incoln's call to arms in 1861;
they battled valiantly beside Roose-
velt's Rough Riders at San Juan;
and they braved machine gun bull
lets and exploding shells on the
bloody fields of France.
Delawares traditional fighting
spirit is still alive. That blue and
buff clad regiment, the Blue Hens
Chickens" which helped win free
dom in the first great struggle with
George III, and which was acclaimed
one of the best regiments Of all those
under the flag of the new nation, is
also alive.
| The unique cognomen that char
acterized the first of the States ia
nous fighting organizations has been
adopted by the people of Delaware
and today, in every branch of the
United States Army, the Blue Hens
Chickens are to be found, doing theil
full share in rendering the country
safe from attack or invasion. The

ciable influence in improving the la
Dor incomes.
Some farms paid out less than Is
per cent of the milk receipts for pur-
chased dairy feed, while other farms
paid out over SIS per cent of the milk
receipts for dairy feed. With the
present system of feeding, those
farms that paid out about One-third
of the milk receipts for dairy feed
returned the highest average labor
incomes.
"The cost of purchased dairy feed
amounted to Is per cent of the total
farm expenses. The large expendi-
ture for dairy feed was made nee
essary largely by the poor grade of
roughages fed and the poor pastures
grown. Those farmers who grew al
falfa hay and produced better quality
pastures reduced the percentage of
milk receipts paid out for dairy feed
to Is to 20 per cent and materially
improved their labor incomes.
Diversified Farms Pay
"The well diversified farms paid
best. Those farms that had only two
sources of income amounting to over
5000. namely, wheat and milk, re-
turned an average labor income OF
] S16S. Those farms that had five or
more sources of income returned an
average labor income of 5000. APP
/ parently those farms that supple
mented the production of wheat and
milk with more of the intensive
types of enterprises, had perfected
system OF farm organization and
management that permitted the pro-
duction of crops, and livestock enter
prises that returned wider margins
of profit, that gave a better distri-
button of labor, and that reduced the
risk of farming.
"The farms that had well-balanced
systems of organization and manage
ment returned the better labor in
comes. Those farms that were above
the average of the area in the size OF
farm, total receipts, number of croI
acres per man, number of crop acres
per horse, average milk production
per cow of the dairy herds, yields pei
acre of crops, and number of sources
of income above 5000, returned 21
average labor income of $1,171. Con
versely, those farms that were below
the average in each of these factors
} returned an average labor income o
$545. 5."-Sunday Star.

A beautiful and noteworthy pic
ture is to be shown at the Old South
church tomorrow night at 7.30. It
is called Birds of Passage" and it
was made by Bengt Berg, the famous
Swedish orinthologist. 1t shows the
annual migration of the birds of
Northern Europe down the Nile to
Abyssinia.
The birds are shown on their ma
tive habitats. then in Egypt, in the
shadow of the pyramids where they
rest on their journey south. From
there we follow their fight to the
White Nile where thousands of
birds from Europe. Asia and Africa
congregate and feed during the win
ter months. With the coming of
spring the homeward flight begins
and we leave the birds in countless
numbers winging their way towards
Europe. This picture Is of especial
interest to bird lovers and to those
interested in the preservation of
game. It's unforgettable beauty and
the intimate "close-ups" of various
wild birds gives makes the picture
extremely interesting.
Another feature Of the evening
service which will be of interest to
the citizens of Hallowell, will be an
address by Mrs. Charles Alexander
