Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
How sweet are the memories,
And hallowed the place;
The scenes of our childhood,
Gods mercy and grace.
His presence goes with us
Where ever we roam,
And some day We'll meet Him
In heaven, our home.
CHORUS
Home, home, sweet, sweet
home,
The morning and meeting
In heaven, our home.
The church where we wor-
shipped,
And found sweet peace.
The blessed assurance
That never will cease.
The old Gospel story
Of God and His love.
The joy of forgiveness
That comes from above.
Tune: Home, Sweet Home.

CHEssTNUTs TO RETURN

The chestnut will come
back, according to the fores-
try authorities, who claim to
have mastered and checked
the blight that destroyed the
trees several years ago.
Such news will be welcomed
by all land owners-if it is
confirmed by tests, for the
chestnut is perhaps the most
valuable of all trees to agri-
culturists. In addition to their
chief value for fencing timber
and that of nuts themselves,
the wood has many uses that
have made it's disappearance
an almost irreparable loss. It
has required long and patti
ent inquiry to ascertain the
source of the deadly infection
If it is known even at this
time-and if the experts in
forestry have actually obtain
ed mastery over the disease
the country will be greatly
benefited.
The fruits of the discovery
will not be reaped for a
number of years, for while the
chestnut tree belongs to the
rapid growth" group, it does
not attain sizeable growth in
less than two decades. The
value of the tree. however,
makes it worth while to wait
for its development, for moth
ing has been found to take its
place since the blight blotted
out all such timber 25 or 80
years ago.

Amplifwng Theatre System
Aids the Hard of Hearing

Theatres bring enjoyment to mil
lions of people. Stage plays, motion
pictures, and the talkies, as sound
production pictures are generally
known. each have their followers.
Possibly in the past certain people
have been forced to be content with
motion pictures, because they could
see, but not hear. These include the
100000 people in the United States
who are afflicted with varying degrees
of deafness. That there are this mum.
Der Of people who are unable to hear
distinctly seems an alarming state
ment, but 1t is true, nevertheless, as
government statistics will show. But
1t is Interesting to find that more than
30 per cent or 100000 such people
can be made to hear with the aid of
accoustical application.
Research and development engineers
Of the Bell Telephone Laboratories
have produced an application system
for theatres to aid the hard of hear
ing. The system. as described in the
Bell Laboratories Record. consists of
Q transmitter, which is placed on the
stage for picking up sound vibrations,
batteries for the transmitter, and an
amplifier for reinforcing or amplify-
ing the sound energy received from
the transmitter. From the simplifying
system. the energy is distributed to
equipment mounted on seats set aside
for the purpose, where patrons with
defective hearing don special headsets
and establish the connection by plug

A simple way sometimes
used to relieve temporary
shortage of water in dug wells
is to sink in the bottom a few
feet of large drain tile or steel,
concrete, or clay sewer pipe,
says the Bureau of Agricultural
Engineering. The pipe is fore
ed down as the hole is dug.
Dirt is removed through the
pipe. Take care not to under
mine the curb or lining. Make
sure that the well is free from
gas before entering it.

THE PRINTERS SKILL,

The authorities in a rural town
were all stirred up when they found
a slip of paper on the street with
the word "Kill' written in large let
tiers at the top and followed by the
names of a number of we'll known
citizens With visions of gangsters
who proposed to exterminate these
citizens the village marshall notified
the sheriff and several deputies were
placed on guard around the town.
The editor of the local paper heard
of it in his search for news and when
he was shown the mysterious paper
he burst out laughing. 1t was just a
correction sheet of his mailing list in
which he had marked bunch of dead
heads to be cut off from the subscrip-
ton list because they had failed to
pay up, and marked in the usual Gus
tom of printing office with the word
kill" 1t had blowed out the win
dow of the office on to the street and
caused all the commotion. The moral
is to pay up your subscription and
avoid the possibility of stirring up
your home town in this manner.

THESE s POINTS MEAN
MUCH ON DAIRY FARMS

Eight points that largely determine
farmer have been revealed in a farm
management project carried on in
Dodge, Freeborn, Goodhue, Rice
Steele and Waseca counties for the
last 3 years by the University of Min.
nesota and the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture. One hundred and twenty.
four dairy farms were studied in
1928; 172 in 1929; and $50 in 1880
All were typical of the dairy farming
system in southeastern Minnesota.
w. P. Ranney, representing the U. s.
Department of Agriculture in this
study, has summarized the findings
in the May issue of Minnesota, Farm
Business Notes, published by the Ag-
ricultural Extension Division at Uni
versity Farm. Mr.. Ranney says a
wide range of earnings was found
between different farms each year;
$500 between the highest and lowest
in 1928; $4,000 in 1929, and $1,000 in
1880.
Furthermore, the study showed that
over period of years, the earnings of
a given farmer are largely under his
control. That is where the eight
points come in. The farmers making
the highest earnings were those who
excelled in these points, while farmers
who failed were below average in one
OF more. Generally speaking, the
more points a given farmer was strong
in, the greater his success, and vice
versa.
Two points relate to production
these being crop yields per acre. anG
''butterfat production per cow" Two
others pertained to the size of bust.
ness, including number of days oil
productive work" and amount of pro-
ductive livestock per 100 acres" The
four remaining factors were largely
efficiency factors. They were as fol-
lows: tendency to grow those crops
that generally show higher net re.
turns; efficient feeding of all the
productive livestock; efficient use
of man labor; and control of over.
head expenses" including buildings
fencing, machinery and power.
Eight farmers who were above aver.
age in all eight factors had average
labor earnings of $3,O33; % farmers
who were above average in seven fac.
tors averaged S2,O33 labor earnings;
SO farmers who were above average
in only one factor averaged only S454;
while II others, not above average in
any point, not only made no labor
earnings, but fell short $3.50 apiece

PIONEER OF RUTLEDGE
MILL DAYS SUCCUMBS

John Skaugseth, who passed away
June 6, at the Moose Lake hospital
following an operation, was born Oct.
26, 1874, and was baptized in the
Lutheran church in Norway. He
came to this country when a child
with his parents, Lawrence and Janett
Skaugseth, and located in Eau Claire,
Wis, where they resided for short
time. John was confirmed in the
Lutheran church with which he al
ways affiliated and the prayer book
given him at his confirmation is in
his room and among his cherished
possessions.
About 3S years ago the family
moved to Rutledge, where John al
ways made his home, except during
such times as it was necessary for
him to seek occupation elsewhere
but always returning to visit his par
ents and kept up the old home after
their death. He was employed by
the Rutledge Lumber company in the
mill" days and was a most dutiful
son. He buried his mother in June,
1924, after she had been i'll three days
with a stroke. He buried his father
in 1928, after lingering illness, dur
ing which time John was most pa
tient and gave him every vigilant
attention and care until he laid him
to rest with due respect.
John Skaugseth was a good citizen
and enjoyed large circle of friends
as was evident from the large atten-
dance at his funeral. He was buried
from his home and the NJ. E. church
and laid to rest beside his parents in
Lakeview cemetery, the Rev. Juvlund
of Duluth, officiating. The hymns
were sung by Mrs. John Arth, Mrs.
Wickstrom, and Mrs. Pearson, with
Mrs. Lynn Smith at the organ. The
pallbearers were Joe Salkiewicz, Otto
Schubert, Henry Anderson, Frank
Bowers, A. E. Jones, and Oscar An
derson.
The Larson Undertaking Parlors of
Sandstone, had charge of the funeral.
John leaves a sister, Mrs. West OF
Bellingham; his brother, Antoine, Ia
coma, and Martin, Seattle, Wash; his
aunt, Mrs. M. Hokstead, Sandstone;
and nephew, Irwin Foster, here, and
Ellsworth, at Winona.
Those from out of town attending
the funeral were Mrs. E. Foster, Wi
mona, and Curtis Davis, of Mime
apolis.
