IF China would open Manchuria at once to the commerce of the world, Bussia might hesitate to make enemies of all the great powers by opposing such a course. THE university of Chicago will re main a Baptist institution long after president Harper is dead and forgotten. If he would step right out, it would be a very wise solution of his vagaries. JUST what Northfield and Owatonna are to gain by keeping out the com petitive Twin City Telephone Company at the dictation of the Bell monopoly is difficult to discover. They will realize their blunder later. there is a deadlock in the state re publican convention between Collins and Dunn for governor, just watch E. W. Randall, secretary of the state agri cultural society, step in and easily pick up the plum, W ITII the mercury registering forty below as the regular thing in north Manchuria during the winter month?, hostilities betweet Russia and Japan in that locality would have to be carried on pretty lively to keep the troops from perishing with the cold. WE do not believe that Judge Collins has any special favors granted to him in way of rooms in the capitol for his political headquarters any more than we believe that Van Sant will be able to dictate to him in his appointments The boys should invent more plausible yarns. STATISTICS of the increase in the population of Omaha during January tend to confirm the current idea that few babies are born in the homes of the wealthy. Of the 155 babies born during the past month, all have parent age on the birth cards as "artisan," "clerk" or "laborer." THE special attention of farmers in this locality is called to the local farm ers institute to be held at the court room next Wednesday. It will be a conference for the purpose of mutual improvement and it is hoped that ar rangements will be made to hold them regularly every month. Come out and help. THERE is little hope of a peaceful settlement between Russia and JapaD as we write. The whole world is in volved in the decisions of this struggle. It is sincerely hoped that the unrighte ous greed of Russia for extension of territory in spite of treaties with other countries will be effectually disap pointed. THE railroads are able to tell how much per mile it costs to haul a ton of freight over their roads. We believe that if the farmers could estimate how much it costs them to haul a ton a mile over the average poor roads in all kinds of seasons it would greatly astonish them. Yet they have always been quite indifferent to the good roads problem. THE supreme court very sensibly sus tains Judge Kingsley in the following decision: "Parties to an action may settle the matter in litigation without consultation with the attorneys of either party, and such settlement when fairly made and entered into, without fraud or collusion intended to defeat the, rights of the attorneys claim ing any right or interest in the matter settled, are valied and binding." SAINT PAI is playing the baby act over an error in an encyclopedia article giving Minneapolis the supremacy in the state. Every one knows that Minne apolis is the metropolis, just the same leading in population, commercial in terests, railroad statistics, bank clear ings, manufacturing and enterprise. We repeat, Minneapolis is the chief city of Minnesota and is properly recognized' as such by all who know the facts. TIIEY are falling anto line rapidly. Ex-senator II. J. Miller of Luverner, editor of the Rock County Herald says: "I stand just where I always have on our state issues and I cannot consist ently support Mr. Dunn, I am a per sonal friend of his, and before Judge Collins announced himself I was ready to support Dunn if he could square himself on the merger issue, because I was opposed to the third term for Governor Van Sant on principle. Judge Collins's candidacy puts a different face on the matter, and I am in favor of his nomination".

He went in, but there wasn't a confounded man fclerk in the store, so he bought a fan and walked out. And 30 below, too. coming to the conclusion that in order to get the top price for their stock* they must have the best breeds. Scrubs in hogs, cattle, horses or in fact any thing raised by the farmer, always bring small returns when sold and farmers are beginning to see it. Winnebago City Press-News: Why the Star Petroleum Oil Co. should go broke and (another company with Mr. Annandale Advocate: Despite the exclusion act there are Chinamen in most counties. The legislature in its wisdom placed a legal rate to be paid to one paper for official publication. Over here we publish the matter in seven papers at the one legal rate, and than we have publishers who are bray iug about it like an army mule insisting that the people are robbed because the printing was not let to one second rate paper at about two thirds price. Well, well, there are other thjngs beside geese that the Lord left shy on good sense. Northfield News: The question that confronts the feeders is, can we make profit enough out of pur steers at the prices they have been bringing to war rant us to continue in this business? While people were jumping into it pretty lively a few years ago, there is certain to be a temporary cessation for the present. There is no question but that today the price of meat is fixed by the meat trust. How long this condition of affairs will exist will in all pro bability depend upon how long the farmer and consumer will allow them selves to remain at the mercy of this great corporation. Spring Valley Sun: The newspapers of Fillmore county the past month donated money enough to the county commissioners to build porticoes to the court house. Prom the fact no news paper ms(n in the county is the owner of a portico, it was a generous act upon the part of the fraternity. It is to be hoped the taxpayers will appreciate the gift and not "stop their paper." The merchants, bankers and business men of the county who deal with the com missioners might have done the same charity act, but they did not. They get pay for their labor. Perhaps they are right. It may be the better plan. Mapleton Enterprise: A laundry firm at Berlin, Germany, has set an ex ample that many people in this country would like to have the American laundryman emulate. It is that of furnishing its customers with shirts, and in fact a complete outfit, providing they have the privilege of laundrying the same. As the average laundry wears out more clothes than the owner thereof, the proposition has its virtues as they would evidently take more care if they had to furnish the goods. YVe hope the new scheme will be adopted very soon as we' want anew shirt so as to be able to attend the State Editorial Association. i?™ (liable to result disastrously to thekcor Eye Herald: It is refreshing Iporations.

There is no excuse for a man to rob a million people of ten cents each in order to en able him to en^ow one University that does not want his gift. Our higher educational institutions will take care of themselves, if Rockefeller and others like him, will use their money in furnishing honest employment to the needy and deserving poor at wages that will enable them to buy for themselves the necessaries of a self-respecting existence. If Rockefeller has any "con science money" let him pay it back to those he took it from. Glenville Progress: Have you had any trouble during the cold snap trying to get heat out of the hard coal that the western dealers are getting this year? It seems as though that $10 per ton ought to purchase a pretty good quality of coal but the stuff that has been shipped to the dealers this winter is but very little better than a good quality of soft coal broken up. The hard coal stoves and furnaces this winter are filled with clinkers which are nearly as large as the grate aijd completely shut.off the draft and if you try to force the feed at all the stuff just simply will not burn or else will melt away without giving out a quarter of the heat that the old time hard coal used to give. Crookston Journal: It is whispered about the Twin Cities that a brand new condition is likely to develop be fore long in the gubernatorial situation. The candidate whose announcement is expected to bring about this state of affairs is none other than our old friend, Granville S. Pease, the Nestor of the editorial fraternity in Minnesota. In the event of a deadlock between the two principal candidates now in the field much might be expected frbm the of Anoka as a gubernatoral possibility. Bro.

A number of these corporations have Al ready gone bump, some have had a narrow escape and the Twin City Telephone company are now Paw is not going to make a PROGRESS IN DAIRYING. Why Cheese Making la Getting: to Be a Profitable Industry In a Kam[ ber of Localities. At the recent annual meeting of the Holstein-Friesian association Prof" -H. H. Dean said: "True progress cannot take place in the dairy business, or in any other business, unless we have the people educated. And one of the things which we have been developing in our country in connection with the dairy business, and one which we found to be very satisfactory, is the grouping of the various cheese fac tories into small groups or syndi cates of from 25 to 30 factories, put ting an expert man In charge of these factories. He visits these factories at least once a month, holds meetings of the patrons, discusses with them the importance of good cows, how to feed these cows, how to care for the milk, advises the cheesemaker as to how he can improve his produce, and I think that we have possibly struck one of the notes which will do more to im prove our cheese business than any thing we have yet done along that line. Formerly our instructors were scattered over colleges, over a large number of factories, 50, 60, 100, or 200, or 300 factories, and they were not getting, at the men on the farm, who were producing the milk, who were producing the raw material and our dairy industry and your dairy in dustry depends upon the quality of the raw material which is produced and hence you, as farmers, as breeders of dairy cattle, as men who are supply ing milk to the cheese factories and creameries of the various states, .are the men who are at the foundation Of the business and these are the meft who in the past we liave been unable to reach but our system of institu tion now has been able to get at man pn the. average farm, and has duced wonderful results in our ness." The Value 'of Cleanliness. The majority of cellars are very properly ventilated and the length^bf time for keeping milk therein varies on nearly all farms. The success in the creameries is due to the observ ance of a proper degree of tempera- observing of that point they will con tinue to have difficulties. One of the obstacles is uncleanliness in the sta ble as well as in the milk houses. The regulation of the churning is as noth ing compared with the essential re quisites of properly keeping the places and utensils in the best condition. The water, however, is the source of the greatest danger. It has been dem onstrated by actual experiment that the germs of disease existing in im pure water are carried without change into the milk, where they rapidly multiply and cause decomposition.

Memory Venei, 3-5—Golden Text, Mark: 11, 10—Coinmenttary Prepared by Rev. D, M. Stearns. (Copyright, 1003, by American Press Association.] The healing of the leper, which seems to follow, in the order of events, the Sabbath day in Capernaum of last Weeks lesson, shows us the power of God over an utterly incurable disease, which in the Old Testament is very suggestive of sin in us. How mighty and wonderful were those five words of our Lord in answer to the leper's cry, "I will be thou clean" (i, 41), and instantly he was clean. Just as long, and no longer, does it take to save a sinner. The leper's joy was so great that notwithstanding the Lord's com mand to say nothing to any man he so blazed abroad the matter that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to Him from every quarter (i, 45). As soon as He returned to Capernaum and the people knew it they gathered in such numbers that they not only filled the house, but it was impossible to get near the door. But only the sick need a physician, and only the lost need a Saviour, and these Pharisees and doctors were in their own estimation neither sick nor lost (Matt. fx. 12 Luke xix, 10), so they came and heard and saw and went away without the blessing that was to be had for the receiving. The rich He sent empty away (Luke i, 53). Yet Jesus preached the word unto them (verse 2), and it was the same word that cast out evil spirits, that healed the leper, that stilled the storm, that created the worlds, but it did these wise and learned people no good, for they did not receive it. The god of this world had blinded their minds (II Cor. iv, 4). There was another day when the people thronged Him, but one poor woman touched Him to some purpose (Mark v, 30, 31) others might have done so, but this one did. While the self sufficient, self right eous, see in Him only one to criticise and condemn there is brought to Him a helpless one for whom and in whom His power can be manifest, for He giv- eth power to the faint and helps those wlK have no helper (Isa. xl,29 lxxii,12) He filleth the hungry with good things. The four friends who brought their palsied friend manifested a zeal and determination sure to accamplish their end if it be at all possible to be accom plished. Their thoughts seem to have run in this channel: Our poor friend is helpless, and in that house is the Man who can help him if we can only get at Him, and we think we can, and we'll do it at once, for every moment is precious. Let those who talk of coming to Jesus in a very proper and becoming way think of the method of these men and our Lord's approval. The people gath ered in the house, those Pharisees and doctors, saw a most unseemly thing when the roof was broken up over their heads and a' helpless man was lowered into their midst. Perhaps never before nor since did a man come to Christ aft er that fashion. The one thing that Jesus saw was their faith, the one thing that pleases Him most, for with out faith it is impossible to please Him (Heb. xi, 6). Contrast the "Great Faith" and the "Little Faith" of Matt. Viii. 10 xv, 28 viii, 26 xvi, 8. Prob ably all were surprised when our Lord said, "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee," 1 for he had been brought for healing of the body. Yet the Lord read the heart, and it may be that He saw before Him one who was more troubled about his soul than his body. He at least saw, as He always sees, that the healing of the soul is the most important, for if only we are truly saved a perfect body is assured us in due time (Phil, iii, 20, 21). There are tnan.v texts which assure us of the forgiveness of sins. Those which help me most are I John ii, 12 Isa. xliii. 25. Do not fail to observe the Lord's "Be of good cheer" (Matt, ix, 2, 22), and let Him make us such a "good cheer" people that He shall be glorified in us. It may be that the man was much terrified by'his manner of approach to Christ and our Lord gra ciously quiets him at once, as when He appeared in the midst on the first resurrection evening and said, "Peace be unto you." For a speaker to know that in the minds of his hearers there is unjust and cruel criticism would be very upsetting to most people, perhaps to all but to our Lord Himself, but our Lord -lived before His Father rather than before the religious leaders of the day. Had these Pharisees and doctors been teachable they might have said, Jlere is One who forgives sins and heals the sick and is quite undisturbed by this unheard of proceeding. He must be our expected Messiah. But, as we said before, they were blinded by unbeliev ing criticism, just as many are today. Turning again to the sick man, see him now carrying that which had carried him, all sins forgiven and his body healed, going forth before them all a living evidence of the grace and the power of the Son of Man. No wonder .that they glorified Gods saying, We never saw it in this fash ion. What a praise meeting the man and his friends must tiave had! Where is the faith of these four seen now? How much of it is there in you? In me? Where is the faith that t^kes no denial, that says, like Jacob, "I will not let thee go except thou bless me?" Let us not look around and. criticise others, but ask the Lord- to search us according to Ps. cxxxix, 23, 24, and bring us into such manifest union with Himself "that Hj|s pgw^ may, seen us- So. 388^-E!asy Metagprams. 1.
