FARMER BEN'S
I can't tell how an apple will taste
by its looks. I've got to try it. I
don't know how lots of the new laws
will pan out until they're tried out.
The other day a big bank down in
Oklahoma busted and under the law in
that state all depositors in banks there
are guaranteed by a state fund assessed
in very small and unnoticeable rate on
all the.banks. After this bank busted,
the state guarantee fund was drawn]
on, the depositors who had put money
in the bank waited right up and drew
it out if they wished, there was no ex-1
citement or panic, the people had con
fidence that no depositor could lose and
you bet all the other banks in the state I
will look well after the officers and
management of the suspended bank to
see that they get all that's comin' to 'em
so that such will not occur agen. Ij
can't see a flaw in the scheme of this!
bank deposit guarantee law. If there's
any I wish it could be elucidated to my^
slow powers of apprehension., I say it's"
extra.
If it ain't enuf to make a man go out
and shoot hisself in disgust to hear the
rnt over Gov Eberhart continuin' the
rot over Urov. j^u
linin
Dem machine in this state unino^estea|
and let alone all the dem offis holders
who see their jobs aviatorin'
(in
this re-
pub state from now on. It's all rot
tenest of rot, It's like letting what's
your political ruination continue to
ruinate without raisin' your hand to
interfere. I know mity well what
would happen if the thing was 'turned
rite round and there's was a lot of re
pubs in offis with the restoration of a
dem governor. They'd get just about
over night. I ain't counsellin' the
kickln* out of the hungry dem horde of
olfis holders all in a bunch but *I'd
make 'em understand from the word go
that from now on there's to be no poli
tix in offi3 to workup dem strength thru
the perfection and assiduity of the pre.
sent dem machine. And when vacan
cies open up the party in power is a
bundantly able to furnish all the ma
terial needed to make first class officials
of.
I'm mity glad that our governor
starts out so fine with Ralph Wheelock
as private secretary in place of Frank
Day. Wheelock ain't mixed up with
factions and he's a better represents
tive of the cleaner and better element
in the repub party than lots of the
galled old jades whose literal and po
litical decease identical would be an
unmixed blessin'to repub interests in
Minnesota. There's alwus a lot of old
seeds hangin' on who are noihin' but
barnacles. They are responsible for
the defeat of such clean repub candi
dates as Cole and Jacobson. They
should be unselfish and simply want
the G. O. P. to succeed on staunch and
high principles. I get so vexed over
the bunch that are alwus stickin' in
in their noise,and endangerin' harmony
and peace that 1 could club 'em to
mush. Gov. Eberhart is takin high
ground'in tryin' to act independently
as he considers best for the state and
the bloodsuckers ought to keep off of
him and giv him a chance.
$
The dirty game which Tawney and
the Cannon and Aldrich fortes put up
on thiijf. country in the iniquitous tariff
bill won't down and I'm glad of it. As
Cummins says the fight will go on in
the people's interests and will be hotter
in the future. 'We 're goin' to see be
fore this thing is thru whether the
voters in the party are the true repubs
cr whether a little low lived clique of
gratters and standpatters who are
bat sti -i' for the trusts and monopolies
are. We're goin to fight it to a finish.
If 1 he rank and file say that Cannon
and Aldrich can continue to dictate the]
policies of the G. O. P. we want to
know it. The Aldrich tariff was con
cocted and ordered to be passed by the
millionaire manufacturers to grihd tfce
people with higher prices and they're
goin' to get 'em too. The poor con
sumer was never consulted or taken
into consideration. Whenyougetto
payin' higher prices for your gloves
and cotton and woolen goods just re
member that every man who voted for
the present new tariff bill is responsi
ble for soakin'you.
This personal injury business is one
of the biggest grafts worked against
corporations. 1 see there's more than
a thousand cases ben filed in the last
year agenst the city of Minneapolis ag
gregate *300,000 all for stubbin' your
toe or gettin' alleged hurt, anything to
get something for nothingand not have
to work.
A
lot of shysters who ought
to be in the prisoner's dockinsted of in
the lawyer's chair work up these cases
•VS
light and empty and frivolous that it
ought not to take a Court three seconds
to throw 'fan oat. But they get a lot
of hired vijienpe, some of it expert
which is contradictory to the experts
of the other side and away the damage
suits go by the million. I spose the
railroads .and corporations ^and muni
cipalities,, are mulched out pf many
millions of money eVery year in false
claims and lawin' expense over these
trumped up suits. It^seems like the
decent lawyers and judges would
squelch
shyster vermin. I ain't
sayin'anything about fair claims for
real damages. Those thatvhav these
ought to get proper remuneration.

The Later Days- of the Clut—
A Paper Read By Mrs. H.*'
A. Avery at the Recent
Anniversary
On September 20, the Austin Floral
Club opened its Study season and a
S'T
B.
"Thf Early History of the
the literary, social and artistic uplift of
this city especially in early years and
its history is one to be proud of.
The following is Mrs. Avery's pa
per W
'The Later Days of the Lgdies
Club."
Floral
Upon consulting with old members,
looking over old papers, letters and
records we find that the most eventful
occasion of the Floral club in the
eighties, was its eighteenth-anniversary
held March the sixteenth, 1888, at the
home of Mrs. W. F. Sutherland, where
the members and their families were
agreeable manner. The occasion was
made especially interesting by the read
ing of letters from former members.
The program as given was as fol
lows:
Club called to order by President
Mrs. E. M. Morse, instrumental music
by Gene Crane. A letter from Mrs. C.
C. Crane of'Anoka was read giving a
short review pf the early days of the
or
ganizat ion and referring to the
enc0
ber, Cement, Lime, Plaster, Roofing jnfaucy. In the close of her let
and-fuel. They are making a spec- jer she said:" It will not be long ere we
ialty of the Peerless Roofing^ water- jj6 oalled to lay life's burden down
proof, weather-proof, and practically jjen
uragements and discouragements
longer go up and down
Garden of the Lord.
A letter from JSdrs. H. A*: Majhew
of Sacramento, California, was by
Mrs. E. B. Crane. Mrs, Mayhew was
our first vice-president. In her letter
she wrote, "Nearly two years ago, in
1886, when I made a short visit 'to yoar
town, I felt that I could not go away
without a visit to your library. As I
looked about and saw your books and
how wonderful the results. When all
the sheaves are gathered in and the
harvest time is passed, surely to the
untieing workers the 'Master will say,
"Well done."
A letter from Mrs. Harlan W. Page
of Northfield, Minn., expressing hearty
congratulations upon the growth and
attainments of our "Floral Daughter,"
was read by Mrs. Morse.
Mrs. O. W. Gibson then read a letter
from Mrs*. E. P. Van Valkenburg,
expressing her indebtedness to the
Floral club as being more than she
could realize, while working with us in
the club.
A letter from Mrs. Ira Jonse
Portland, Oregon, carried us bar*
memory to~ the surroundings of our
first floral show, and also gave an in
teresting description pf her Portland
Mrs. J. F. Cook read a, letter from
Mrs, N. P. Austin of Santa Barbara,
California, now of San/Francisco, with
VTords of encouragement. She adds
Amongmy pleasaniest recollections of
(Auld Laug Syne" are those connected
with this club." She was glad indeed
to know its days of prosperity contin
ued.
Mrs. C. H. Davidson read a letter
from Mid. Brownson of Minneapolis,
sending heartfelt congratulations, tbaL
that the perils and dangers of infancy
and- childhood are safely passed and
that we are fairly launched' upon the
sea of blooming womanhood, and
^thinks it not strange that the Floral
club has hot only a "name to live," but
does liv$ in the good it is .doing in
the community, and in the kindly afr
fection the members bear each other.
She is proud of us, proud that she bore
a humble part in the formation and
early history of the organization She
says,''Its influence will live on and on,
long after we, who have been so greatly
benefitted, have passed beyond- these
realms to where the flowers are eternal
on the banks of the river of life."
Mrs. C. M. Gibson then read a letter
from Mrs. J. M. King of Pasedena,
Cal. She rejoiceMo greet us upon the
nineteenth anniversary of Our most
successful enterprise, remembering so
well our small beginnings. She re
memberFeach face of those^who labor
ed with her and says: "Yes, from these
far off Pacific sands, where the sea
roars-, where- the floods lift up their
arms and claps their white hands in
wild, exultant joy from orange rgrovea

Upon the roll call of the preaident.
the evening exercises were opened
lay instrumental music, a duet by
Mrs. Johnson and'Mrs. J. F.
Cook.
The president's repo.t was full of
interest and very comprehensive, par is
of which have already been given
in Mrs. Crane's paper, in it she said
up to the time they had had 175 work
ing members many of these now scat
tered from Maine to Oregon again,
"It has been pleasant from time to
time, to learn that the methods and
plans of the Floral club are helpful, to
some of these in their new homes." Of
those who have shared our work many
are not,' for uod has taken them."
This report was followed by the treas
urer's statement on methods and
means used at that time. Music, "The
Old Man Dreams?' sung by Mrs. C. H.
Davidson and Mrs. -D. Bv J, hnson.
Rev. C. D. Belden read a valuable
paper entitled, "Books and Reading."/,
One of the most important events in
the nineties was the silver anniversary
o" the club, held March 28,1894, held at
home of Mrs, C. H. Coats for the
members and their families. About
sixty ladies were present.
A roll call by Mrs. -E. Morse,

GEORGE HIRSH.
When our court house was built the
library, was moved to a room in thfe
basement, when the library was fortun
ate in securing their first librarian, Miss
Sarah Beatty, [later Mrs. J. R. Webb],
followed by Mrs. Geo. E. Wilbour who
gave most efficient service for eight
years. Mrs. H. H. Kent then took up
the work and faithfully filled the office
until the old library was closed.
Mrs. E. M. Mors*-, the first president,
filled that office for thirty-two years
with great ability and conscientious
ness, resigning in the spring of 1901 on
account of the infirmity of age. "It
was said at the time "Too much credit
cannot be given to Mrs. Morse, possess
ing a delicate sense of the beautiful in
nature and art and with the inherent
desire of helping those around her,
w^rtching after the club's highest inter
ests, keeping its methods of work under
parlamentary usages and with untiring
energy giving time and study to its
best interests and constant progress 7"
We would like to mention each name
of the many faithful co-workers of
Mrs. Morse but space forbids.' Mrs.
W. C. Holmes was made the second
president,"serving two years. When at
about this time the members felt that
the burden was too great to be borne
under the^then existing conditions and
the founding of the new publiMibrary,
with its fine building, was now com
pleted, the club turned over its 3,425
volumes to the new library. The club
thought that its usefullness was over
and was about to disband. Several of
its members gathered together and
decided that all the years of effort and
work^ by the many old and past mem
bers should not be cast to oblivion.
That the club should be continued in
name but should take the form of a
monthly literary club, with a mem ber
ship of thirty active and ten associate
members, with a membership fee of
$1.00 for active and $1.50 fbr associate
members. After running expenses are
paid each year the remainder Of the
money has been used to buy" books for
the Carnegie library,- among which have
been several valuable sets. Mrs. H.
Kent was made president and serv*
ed nearly two years, when we suffered a
great IOBS by her death February 20th,
Mrs. F. E. Daigne&a served as our
next president for two years, 1905. and
1806.
Mrs.1 H. A. Avery then served for
two years, 1907 and 1908, at which time
we joined the State Federation. Mrs.
WC Holmes was elected for Che: pres
ent year.
The late presidents have done noth
ing particularly brilliant, simply trying
to keep the club in good running order
and trying to work with the State Fed
eration to better the club's highest in
terests, brought before us from time to

long after we hate gone and fulfil

Baron Clothing is superior to all other ready made
anJd equal to the best of custom .make. It outwears any
other and always holds its shape. It is made by different
methods from the ordinary ready made clothing. Every
garment is cut by hand, one at a time, and is hand tailor
ed. The cloth and linings are mechanically tested and
sponged before being made up and if they fail to come up
to the most extreme test they are rejected. That is why
we say a new garment for any that does not give satisfac
tion. Baron Clothing is designed after the latest New
York fashions. We have the largest and best selection of
this make this fall that we have ever shown. Suits and
Overcoats for Men and Boys of every description, hand
some patterns, newest creations from
$22.50 t» $30.00
We realize that not all want to pay these prices
therefore we have"'a good line of Suits and Overcoats at
$10.00 $15.00 $20.00
These garments are well made, good fitting, and
splendid wearers. No matter what price you pay, you
get good value. Every assertion we make, .we
make good. What we promise, we fulfil. ,jT We deliver
the goods. That is why people like to buy from us. As
many of our customers remark: "We know what we are

conceived for it on March the 16th,
1869, by the dear little woman and her
followers. And may we not forget
her who made our honor possible, as
the oldest club in the state, and second
in the United States, and may we at
this time pass her some token of re
membrance that she may know—if
only for a fleeting moment—that we
think of her in loving remembrance.
CURING COLD
IN ADVANCE
We get sick because we are too lazy
to keep well, according to Dr. Woods
Hutchinson in Woman's Home Com
panion for October. We are always
looking for short cuts to health. Of
reputed cures for coughs and cold, he
says:
"vTheir name, is literally legion, for
hardly a drug can be mentioned, hardly
a substance discovered, which is capa
ble of either being swallowed or in
haled, that has not been recommended
as a cough remedy. Eight tenths of
all colds are mild infections, which run
their bourse until the body has time to
produce an antitoxin or antibody to
stop their further progress. As this
process in reasonably healthy individ
uals is usually carried out in from four
to six days, anything which happens to
be given in that time stands a fair
chance of getting a reputation as a
cure. ,'
The only -sure cure for colds and
poughs is to avoid the infections and
the foul air of ill-ventilated rooms and
buildings in whieh they breed to keep
the body toned up to fighting pitch, by
cold baths and an abundance of fresh
air, especially in the bedroom and if
the infection does not get a foothold to
assist Nature in her fight against it by
rest in the open air, and promoting
elimination through the skin, bowels
and kidneys.
"In fine, don't tinker with symptoms
look foe the cause, and remove it.
Don't try to lock the stable door after
the horse is stolen, but train your horse
to bite strangerer* Attack is the best
defense. Keep your t^Ody at gOod fight
ing weight, and you can defy disease.
Sunlight, food, fresh (tir and exercise
are the ©ply- cure-alls known. Don't
worry about disease and what to take
when yoar siok, but work for health,'^
