SHOULD SERVE WHERE FITTED

DR.. Albert Dieffenbach, the fiery
modernist and editor of the Christian
Register of Boston, when asked,
whether in his opinion, it was worth
while for a non-Protestant to aspire
for the presidency or any other high
office, said:
81 think every man, as an upstand-
ing American, owes it to his country
and to himself to seek such office as
he is fitted to serve in, without hest
fancy and regardless of creed. Re
member, would fight as hard for a
fundamentalist, whose intolerance I
despise, as would for a Roman Cath
Ollie, with whom I disagree, because,
first of all, I am a free man, and love
liberty for the other fellow as dearly
as l love it for myself"

STUDY FARM ACCOUNTS
BY MAIL; FREE AS AIR

For the third successive year the
agricultural extension service of the
University of Minnesota is offering
its free correspondence course, be-
ginning January 1, in farm records
and farm management to the farm
ers of the state and adjacent states.
The work will be conducted by w,
L. Cavert, farm management spe-
cialist, who has prepared a series of
six lessons as follows:
Take an inventory on the home
farm.
Practice work in farm accounts.
Estimating the value of farm
products used in the home.
Studying the crop and livestock
features of the farm business.
Studying diversity and size of
business as affecting profits.
Summarizing the account book
for the home farm at the end
of the year.
The work can be started by the
farm student at any time after he
has sent his enrolment card to the
Agricultural Extension Service at
University Farm, st. Paul. When
the student has prepared his report
on the first lesson he will send it to
Mr.. Cavert, who will answer ques-
lions and offer suggestions. The
Students report on the first lesson
will then be returned to him and
with it material for the second les
son. This procedure will be fol-
lowed until the course is completed.
About 40 farmers have completed
the course and received the certificate
that is granted those who finish. A
Meeker county farmer writes: 1.-The
course is something that every farmer
needs" Another farmer living in
Renville county says: 81 have enjoyed
these lessons; they have made me
think" "The course has been very
interesting and well worth WHILE"
writes a Douglas county man who
completed the work. 'It has been
of great help to me-" is the word
from Wright county farmer. Sim
liar comment has come from scores
of farmers in all parts of the state
The two copies of the account book
needed for the work can be purchased
from the Students Bookstore at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, for 25 cents
a copy.

Diphtheria Anti-TOxin
By H. e. LEVIN, nj. D., Askov, MINI.

ny He Ls LEVIN, We D., ASkOf, Mlnus
My Dear Reader:
l am concluding the subject of
diphtheria this week. / do not know
what impression was made by my last
weeks article, whether you were en-
lightened on the subject of preventa-
tive means or not. At the outset let
me say that my motive was purely
that of community service as health
officer of this vicinity. No financial
strings tied to it. The suggestions
offered are free. You may cast them
aside or use them and be benefited
by them, as you see fit. You must be
aroused to see the Importance of pre-
venting disease in your own family,
and not waiting till you or some one
of your family has contracted the dis
ease. When that is the case the dis
erection is not with you any longer,
it then rests with the physician to
take the needed steps to control the
disease. There has been established
at Askov an anti-toxin station CO.
operating with the State Board of
Health where this serum is always
kept on hand for your use. Any res
ident of this vicinity whether he is
rich or poor can secure this remedy.
1t is not to be charged for by the
physician. The surrounding town.
ships can be supplied also. Not so
long ago l can remember well, when
there existed a case of diphtheria,
how difficult it was to get this serum,
often at the expense of losing a life.
When a telegram had to be sent to
large city one or two days passed
sometimes before it would arrive,
when time is so important to the pa
tient. This has been changed, we
now have it on hand so that when it
is called for it can be given at once
so as to save a life. l hope that lar
ger appropriations will be available
so that other curative and even pre-
ventative remedies can be supplied
under similar circumstances, to the
people.
l thank you for your attention
given my articles, also to the editor
for space allotted and thereby get
ting these messages to you.

Two or three recent murders in
Duluth again goes to show that there
are too many revolvers in circulation.
The only ones who should carry re-
volvers are officers of the law. Some
times others may think they ought to
have guns and ammunition, and again
we have heard such same people ad-
nit that they were glad they did not
carry a gun upon a certain occasion
for if they had possessed one they
surely would have used it. Without
gun no one was crippled or killed.
1t is bad enough to use them in war
times and the time ought to come
soon when that is out of date.

FINANCIAL POLITENESS

Arthur Brisbane spoke volume in
these few lines:
High financiers always speak
politely of each other. Radicals
do not, and that is fortunate for
high finance"
We do not have to go as far as high
financiers to find this profitable" po-
likeness. 1t prevails amongst the
smaller financiers also. There is of
course such a thing as expressing
opinions in and out of season and
making one self detrimental and OBJ
structious, but even that can be
tolerated as long as it is candid and
honest, at any rate is far better than
the closed-mouth wise-head- man
who will keep still because it pays
best-and is keeping still when he

The following extract from love
letter written home to his wife by a
soldier on active duty in France will
ever evoke tender memories in the
hearts of ex-service men:

Wonder what could have been the
issue at the recent city election at
Eveleth when 81 per cent of the eli
gible voters cast their ballots?
Whether or not there were any great
issues at stake it is a record that the

that they take an interest in local
affairs in the Range city and that
they are exercising their rights as
citizens. The example might we'll be
followed out over the state and nation.
