of the first things he did after To-
eating was to build a fine modern
home. 1t cost $4,000, was splendidly
furnished, lighted by electricity, heat
ed by furnace and with a compression
tank water system. 1t was pro-
nounced the best house in Pine county
On the forenoon of the Goth of July,
this fine, modern home was entirely
destroyed by fire with practically
nothing in the way of furniture saved
Mr.. Peters had been in the house
but a short time before and was run
ming the dynamo to charge the cleo
trical batteries. He was on his way
to the woods, when looking back he
saw smoke pouring from the house
When he reached his home, the fire
had made such Roadway that it was
impossible to enter.
The house was 24x26, with two full
stories, plastered and painted walls
finished in oak with maple and hard
pine floors. 1t was three-fourths GOV.

Mutual Insurance Company of Rush
City.
AS soon as the insurance adjust.
ment is made and paid, Mr.. Peters
will rebuild on the same site another
house of equal value and attractive
ness.

No Excuse for Lamenting.

There is perhaps some excuse for
stranger lamenting crop conditions
as they appeared few weeks ago in
Pine county, but for the old-timer to
do so is deplorable. I have no hest
fancy now in saying that crop con-
ditions here are good. Weather con-
ditions are just fine to produce corn,
potatoes and pasturage. There will
be no shortage of any local crop that
cannot be met by the wise husband
man. Haying is going along apace.
Grass places that formerly went by
unnoticed have been discovered and
are being applied to supply the de-
ficiency of an ordinary hay crop,
There will probably be more corn
forage than was considered possible
a few weeks ago, so there is no &C.
casion for being downcast over pres
ent conditions. We are in the midst
of prosperous year, but some won't
acknowledge it.

A FOrested FarmStead.

George Berdan, living a short dis
lance east of Hinckley, is a good ex-
ample of efficiency in farming. He
has 80 acres of pasture, 8 of potatoes
and SIS in tame hay. The hay will
run about three-fourths of a crop.
The farmstead is noticeable for it's
splendid grove of pine, spruce, poplar
and cherry, all planted out by the
hands of Mr.. Berdan. He paid $35
an acre for his land in 1912 when
it was covered with stumps and brush.
He says that his potato crop never
looked better. This spring when con-
ditions for good hay crop were not
promising, Mr.. Berdan sowed oats
on the hay land and disced them in.
1t was wise move for it very ma
terially enlarged his hay crop, the
plants shooting up two feet. Speak
ing of farm conditions, Mr.. Berdan
laconically remarked: IF the farmer
doesn't get down and do his best,
thinking and speaking and books dc
not amount to much"

Mothers Pensions.

A striking illustration of common
humanity toward their fellows is that
shown toward mother who receives
a pension from the county. l am
sure that this law was designed and
had it's origin in an ardent desire to
do justice to fatherless children who
need the best of care and training,
due not as matter of charity but
as a genuine debt we owe the mother,
the children, and the state. Still,
those who receive the pension are
often looked upon with critical SUI
spicion as the recipients of favors,
not an obligation due them.
During the past fortnight / have
come across few cases which it
seems to me are particularly deserv-
ing and yet through one excuse or
another they have been allowed to
go unnoticed and neglected. A wo-
man with six little children under
eleven years of age, with no property,
no father to support the family and
only the bare hands and physical
strength of the mother to work out
living, is particularly deserving of
this aid. Many such mothers are
making heroic struggles to provide
living for their little ones Some
succeed in doing so, but in doing
this they have had placed upon them
an altogether too heavy burden and
one that never should have been i'm
posed. The state has an interest in
that mother and in those children.
Their proper direction means every
thing to the state. 1t means the diff
ference between good citizens and
Indifferent ones, and finally perhaps,
those who are delinquent in the eyes
of the law. Such mothers and such
children, as matter of justice, should
have the kindly and sympathetic as
sistance of the general public. TIC
disregard this duty is not only q
disgrace, it is crime.

1852 GOLF COURSES
IN CHICAGO SECTOR
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Golf courses
around Chicago grow up faster than
statistics can be compiled. but there
are now 1852 made or In the making,
with work on the last two started in
the Cook County forest preserves.
Four such forest links are now open
and one of them accommodated 734
players one fine Sunday in June. The
two new ones will make 35 public fee
courses around the city. The county
boards plan for building them in the
fee class is to remove the cost from
the taxpayer. while the players pay
very little. When the fees have re-
paid the builders for their expendi-
ture the forest courses are turned
over to the county board.
Golf enthusiasts boast that Chicago
has 8 per cent of all the links in
the country, and 10 per cent of the
players, largely because OF the great
number open TO the public at nominal
charge.
I'VE could have 35 more public fee
courses around the city and still have
congestion on all of them" said Prof.
Leon G. Kranz Of Northwestern Uni
versity, who developed last years
Big Ten champion golf team.
THE public courses take care Of
an estimated 100000 persons in Chi
cago. From q practical standpoint, 1t
is money well spent for a club to de-
velop an excellent links and make II
attractive, because realtors will
swarm down on them and make
tempting offers for it as a subdivi-
SION"

JEFFRlES' X. @ YARN

rent issue of Liberty.
II knocked Jeffries out on that
occasion" declared Corbett, land no

days. he couldn't have hit me with a
handful of rice, let alone his fists .
II don't believe Jeff ever made the
statement that's credited to him. -
