NEWS OF MOWER COUNTY
mered as second-c«ass mail ^matter at
the postoffice, Austin, Minn.
WHO mentioned the subject of Good
Roads? All in favor, say aye.
JUNE 5th and congress has adjourn
ed and the sun is shining. Our hopes
revive.
Do not waste energy in climbing
the mountain before you get to it. It
is not always actually there.
THE delinquent congressmen will
now get busy explaining how they
came to do nothing which the people
asked of them.
THE man who will contest Tawney's
Tonomination
at the Republican prim
aries is in sight and he can skin
Tawney to a finish.
CORN is eighty cents a bushel and we
have not a bushel to sell. It was always
thus. When we have plenty, the price
looks like thirtv cents.
PERSONS who go to a public enter
tainment not to hear but to disturb
others might far better stay away.
They are out of place.
THAW'S relatives who are sane have
many reasons for being tbankful.over
the decision that Thaw must remain
in the insane asvlum.
No liquor will be sold in the conven
tion auditorium in Denver where the
national democratic convention meets
in July. This will be no great calam
i.y.
ON June 29th, fifteen star pupils
from Pittsburg will be pitted against
j&ftcen of the best spellers of Cleveland
in a contest of orthography. This is a
sort of a contest which ought to get
popular.
FIVE thousand people bid briskly for
the personal effects of the Gunness
murderess at LaPorte, Ind., which
were put up at auction a few days ago.
Hi
ere is no accounting for tastes but
this comes near the limit of sane de
sire.
IT was a non habeas corpus which
Tbaw drew in his application for re
lease and he is better off where he is.
The jsdge simply took Thaw's wit
nesses in the late trial exactly at their
word.
FRANK M. EDDY, the lecturer, likes
to have ladies wear their hats during
hJs addresses because the big hats tend
to hide his features from the audience.
Frank ought to talk behind a screen.
THE awful results of liquor drinking
-do not seem to have any effect to warn
others who are indulging the fatal ha
bit. It is evil and only evil and its re
sults are sure to be disastrous.
A millionaire bridge builder gave
away his $500,000 country estate at
Ashville, N. C., and moved to !New!
ork out of disgust because Ashville
voted for prohibition. We would like
to see some get out pf this county th$
$$me way,
JUST what Obligation GoVefiiOf
Johnson was under to C. A. Smith,
the Minneapolis millionaire lumber
baron, does uot appear but Johnson
appointed him as a university regent
and the suspicions of the public are
properly aroused.
FOUR boys aged from 15 to 17 years
of age, held up a Great Northern train
at Great Falls, Mont., Sunday night.
They were probably boys who kept no
Sunday, attended no school regularly,
ran the streets at night without re
straint, read dime novels and were
under no firm wise home control.
A class of 22 graduated from the St.
Cloud high school Monday evening and
the six speakers from the class were
all boys and their orations were all
about "Woman". That is a subject
of which they know as much about as
the ordinary graduate does of the
theme discussed by him. It is some
thing different however.
WE extend our congratulations to
the persevering young men and women
who are receiving their diplomae from
our high schools and colleges. A' di
ploma means much in this day when
COper cent of those entering the high
schools of the United States never get
beyond the sophomore year. May the
future of every graduate of 1908 be
a successful and happy career.
CONGTRESS adjourned Saturday night
with the unsavory record of doing the
least for the people and spending the
most money of any session of congress
tbat ever met. The billion dollar mark
was exceeded in one single session, If
we had "a watch dog of the treiaarj''
he must have been a mongrel, for he
was no good.
THE reports that seats of 229 de
legates to the Chicago National Re
publican convention will be disputed.
This promises to make lively times. It
is significant that nearly all these con
tests are from the southern states
which never give Republican majorities
in elections but they have an unfair
representation in our nominating con
ventions.
OTHER EDITORS' OPIXIOfft
Anoka Union: A republican news
caper boosting John A Johnson for
president is false to the party and its
platform.
Blue Earth Post: Frank Day's name
is mentioned among the list of possibil
ities in connection with the democratic
nomination for governor. And why
not? The assertion that Mr. Day has
been the acting governor for nearly
four years will not be questioned by
those close to the gubernatorial throne
room, and he has made good in the
matter of chief master of ceremonies
Rochester Post and Record: It is
generally agreed that the men who are
taking advantage of the prevailing de
pression, or such of it as remains, to
undo the good work that has been done,
and to pave the way to restore the old
abuses are more dangerous to the wel
fare of the conntry than the original
abuses, and they must be smitten, hip
and thigh. This is the view of the
case taken by the National Prosperity
association and voiced by the president.
Morristown Press: I was just think
ing what a dull disinteresting place this
world would be if it were not surround
ed with mysteries impossible to under
stand and problems impossible to solve.
Work that provides a chance for ad
vancement and the acquiring of addi
tional knowledge is pleasure to the
healthy mind.
Goodhue Enterprise: There are a
great many who have been heard to
say that the railroads and moneyed
men of other brauches of business
would not allow Joel P. Heatwole to be
elected governor if nominated. .Be
that as it may, it would be mighty pleas
ant to go through a campaign talking
and working for such a man as Joel
anyhow.
LeRoy Independent: Every one who
reads this will learn with regret that
J. C. Hall, who has been for several
years past assistant cashier in the First
State Bank, has left Le Roy to
take a position in the First National
Rank of Austin. John says he hates
to leave LeRoy, but a substantial ad
vance in salary with enlarged opportun
ities for promotion proved very attrac
tive to him, and all are glad that these
have come his way. No young man in
town has a better reputation for abillity,
honesty and all rouud uprightness than
he and his place in the community will
be hard to fill.
St. Cloud Journal-Press: A Wash
ington correspondent tells an interest
ing 8*ory of the attempt to defeat Sec
retary Taft for the Republican nomi
nation—which hapuiiy &eems to have
failed. This was to bring out as many
favorite sons from as many states as
possible to take votes away from Taft.
it is said that Foraker, Knox, Cannon
and Hughes were in the deal —but La
Follette refused to have Anything to
do with the plan This is a familiar
game with politicians, and especially
with the big interests, which of course
have no use for Taft,
Winnebago City Enterprise: Some
people never seem to learn by exper
ience. Anna Gould is going to marry
another French bargain counter
"prince." It is a pity that these rich
I American young women cannot marry
in their own country where every man,
no matter how much coin of realm re
poses in his coffer, is a king iu truth
and not in name.
LeSueur Sentinel: "Doc" Bixby, the
wise man of the Mebraska State Jour
nal, went to a few of the modern up-to
date revivals, filled with slang of the
base ball diamond and the race track
and a few other places not usually
very closely with church
"work, and on his return delivered him
self as follows: "I hope Billy Sunday
will succeed in making the world bet
ter, fof it certainly needs it, but we'd
rather heaf the old, old story told by
someone who speaks in a gentle, kindly
and charitable way not so much in an
'I've got religion what-the-hell-have*
you got?'tone of voice."
Redwood Gazette: Nebraska express
companies scaled down their rates 25
per cent the other day, after they had
been forced to do it by a mandate of
the supreme court. We heard some*
thing about a fifteen per cent voluntary
reduction made by the express compan
ies in this state at the time of the last
legislative session, but the bills seem to
come in on the same scale of magnifi
cence as before.
Princeton Union: The appointment
of one C. A. Smith to a place on the
univerity board of regents doesn't 8eem
to bear out the contention of Gover
nor John's organs that he is opposed
to "the interests."
Fairmont Independent: It is esti
maten that at least one fourth of the
tile laid to this date in the county will
have to be taken up and relaid at a
much larger expense than occurred in
first instance. The country is full of
those who claim to be tilers, but who
are utterly incompetent. A competent
tiler will take no exception to this
statement. When you hear one how
ling because the Independent makes
this statement, you can put him down
as an incompetent man for the work
of tileing your land.
Rochester Post and Record r^jThe
Post and Record has always insists
that we could never be over-supplied
with accdemic training. But it has
been our consistent effort tq show that
the benefits of that brand of education
should should go hand in hand with
the training that equips young men
for the constructive business and in
dustrial life of today. This funda
mental premise cannot be successfully
assailed.
Plainview News: There should and
will be a change in the complexion in
the members of the railroad and ware-
housecommission. The farmers and
business men will take a hand in the
gathe and new men added to the board
the commissions hoiild take oh new life
and exhibit an energy to accomplish
work that is so much needed at the
present time
Morristown Press: Are Merry
Widow hats paid for by the yard or by
the piece?" asks a reader. Chances'
are that some of them are not paid
for at all.
St. Paul Dispatch: The First Dis-i
trict of Minnesota and the whole state
are put in a false attitde by the utter-|
ances of (Tawney) the district member
of congress. He is affiliated with the
reactionaries, with interests that are
foreign to the soil of Minnesota, that
are opposed to tariff revision and to
the prosecution of lawless trusts. He
is in opposition to the interests of the
people who elect him and, by engaging
to deliver their votes, be is further
showing contempt for their opinions,
Slayton Gazette: If the united gov- 1
ernors don't do any more than the
governors have done singly to con
serve the resources of their several
{states there won't be much done. Up
to-date the states have been skinned of
I about everything worth taking. All'
the time, however, there were laws
enough on the statute books to jail
the looters, but the governors did not
have the will to tmfore the laws to I
conserve the resources.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma
tism.
It is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can al
ways be relieved, and in most cases a
cure effected by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. The relief from pain
which ii affords is alone worthy many
times its cost. It makes sleep and rest
possible Even in cases of long stand
ing this liniment should be used on ac
count of the relief which it affords. Do
rot be discouraged until you have giv
en it a trial. Many sufferers have been
surprised and delighted With its pain
relieving qualities.

A SORTING PEN.
How Hogs Can Be Easily and Rapidly
Sorted.
Here is a sorting pen to convenient
ly and rapidly sort hogs. Of course,
one can only sort in two bunches to
start with, but the operation can be
repeated. I use it for sorting hogs and
sheep and for separating boar from
sows, after breeding, explains a
writer in Wallace's Farmer. Same
can be used if made larger for

cutting out cattle, but it is nfii
successful if made for cattle to
use for hogs. The sides of tha
tapering alley must be boarded up
tight or hogs will get their legs in
cracks and should be high enough to
prevent hogs from jumping over. Drive
hogs into pen A, which connects with
pens and C, through chute D. Sort
ing gate E swings from posts to G,
but will not clear either. Space be
tween posts and should be no
wider than necessary. The man work
ing sorting gate will stand behind post
E if right-handed, or if left-handed.
A stout latch should be fastened to
sorting gate that will fasten to either
post. Mortise hole into post for lever
latch on gate. Adjoining pens and
small gates may be made as desired.
By taking sorting gate off hinges and
placing a "ringing crate" against posts
and it becomes a handy place to
put. a ring in a hog's nose. If post E
is set to one side an incline chute can
be made to fit up to posts and G,
making a convenient place to load
hogs. In that case pens Band should
be very short and wide so a wagon can
be backed into pen and not have to go
far to reach chute.

corner of each stall.

contrivance was convenient as well as
economical. The principle is to have
tbe feed so that the stock can neither
pull it down, as in the old-fashioned
rack, or throw it out, as with the
open-top manger. A modification of
this plan can easily be arranged to. fit
any stable and with it loss of feed
through the waste of the stock will be
reduced to the minimum.
PIG AND SHEEP NOTES.
Lousy hogs and thrifty hogs are
strangers.
Give the ewes and lambs a dry
shed at night and a sunny spot in the
day.
Do not run the sheep on last year's
pastures this year. This is. the safest
method of keeping them free "from
stomach pests.
Damp, dirty bedding and healthy
pigs will not be found in the same
house. Cleanliness is one of the
prime requisites for success.
-A "fresh coat of whitewash on the
inside of the sleeping quarters always
looks good tc the visitor and also
tends to check the spread of vermin.
A weak solution of some common
coal-tar dip sprinkled about the hog
house will prevent foul odors and help
to preserve the general health of the
herd.
Health and vigor are great preven
tives of disease. Feed the ewes liber
ally and let the lambs learn to eat
While young. Stomach worms do not
get possession readily where the
fembs are_well fed.
