Do you remember a few weeks ago when I
Mr.. Calamity Howler arose and said that Min |
nesota was suffering from drought which was I
to become permanent, that her soil would become I
worthless and her lakes and streams all dry
up? Was he mistaken or was he something |
worse? Anyway we have recently had several
inches Of the rain necessary to prove that he
didn't exactly hit the nail on the head

If you have big pumpkin skimp the fam
lily on pies and take it (the pumpkin, we mean,)
Ito the Redwood County Fair. Take the family
too, Of course far as that goes only probably
that won't be so we'll worth exhibiting. What
we mean to say is-get your best products of
farm and garden ready that you can show
them off to your neighbors at the fair the week
of September 9th. Make 'em all jealous by
showing what YOUR farm has raised

Hon. E. H. Garfield, that staunch old war
horse from down in Rock County somewhere,
expresses good sentiment when he says:
at may be hopeless dream of
mine, but trust the time will come when
all citizens will forget selfish interests
and vote as sound reason indicates, re-
| CARELESS of social, racial or other prejud-
ices, considering only the public well
| fare and the preservation of civil and
religious liberty under the constitution

One fellow 1 know believes I am going to
hell. / believe he is on his way to the insane
asylum. But we never argue, and he does not
much disturb Still, l wish the fellow to I'M
derstand that believe his doctrine foolish, and
that many others of the same opinion; that
when he makes a friend by working at his
'crankiness' he also makes enemy; perhaps
two three. have told him this, good natur-
edly, and we have since got along more amiably.

Now is the time for all good men to think
about their seed corn for next year. Last spring
a lot of farmers in this vicinity began to worry
just about the first of May or little earlier
and that bit too late. 1t is quite out of
our province to hope to tell the farmer how to
farm but we don't believe they can take amiss
the suggestion that an ear of seed corn in the
fall is worth half dozen prospective ears in
the spring. Some times those prospective ears
are so elusive. With four Redwood County men
taking corn prizes at the state fair the County
must arise to the fact that she has corn repu-
tation to sustain-and she can't sustain it on
poor seed

Robert Louis Stevenson had an understand
ing of youth and it's foibles which was happy
one. In one of his essays he wrote at is we'll
to have been young in youth, and, as years go
by, to grow older. To travel deliberately through
ones ages is to get the good out of liberal edu-
cation" That means Ito US, at least) that if
we are ever to be foolish, youth is the time
appointed for folly; if we are ever to cherish
noble ideas, youth is the period of their expan-
sion; if we to aim high we fix the shin
ing mark in youth. To hurry these processes is
to make youth practical before its time and to
make it substitute success for achievement. In
fact it means tanning the soul before it has had
its first fight and Of all the wasted glories in the
world none is pitful as the wasted glory of
youth.
