South Dakota can't make up her
mind to stop such a flourishing in­
dustry as the divorce mills.
Our legislature seems to be mak­
ing haste slowly in passing import­
ant legislation. The 2-cent fare law
is not yet^passed.
The man who undertakes to give
Mr. Roosevelt advice need not ex­
pect to get away without having the
complimen t][ re turned.
Mr. Hearst has made formal an­
nouncement that he has no further
use for the Democratic party, and
he is now waiting for it to lay down
its arms and disperse.
Out of a total of 119 counties in
Kentucky only 24 are now wet.
One more dry county added to the
list and the old Kentuckybooze joke
will have to skidoo.
Instead of appropriating $1,000,
000,000 it seems that the short sess­
ion of congress only appropriated
$919,948,000. This looks like con­
siderably more of a bargain.
With public sentiment as solidly
arrayed against the liquor traffic as
it is at present in Worthington there
is small chance for that miserable
burlesque on humanity, the blind
pigger, to get a foothold here.
The city financial statement pub­
lished last week shows the city to
be in a very prosperous condition.
In spite of the extensive permanent
improvements made there is a bal­
ance on hand. The permanent im­
provements aggregate over $13,000,
and include the new city hall, the
new wells for the city's excellent
water supply, two steel bridges, exT
tensive street cement work and sew­
er extensions. The old council
made a record of which they may
well feel proud.
"Ike" Stevenson, the Wisconsin
millionaire lumberman, who has
been a standing candidate for the U.
S. Senate for more than a decade, is
now making a plea for a half loaf in
the shape of Spooner's unfinished
term. In his day Stevenson was an
able man, but he is now in his dot­
age and in the senate would be
classed with the Depews and Platts.
However, the LaFollette faction
needs the money, and about the
only way they can make connection
with Stevenson's barrell is to grant
his wish.
The voters of Worthington, hav­
ing by a decisive majority decided
against the saloons, it is the duty of
all citizens to aid and assist in the
enforcement of the law against the
illicit sale of liquor. While it is the
prevailing sentiment in communi­
ties where the saloons are abolished
that the enforcement of the law
against blind-pigging devolves on
the temperance people, it does not
follow that this is the right attitude
for the public to assume. It is 'just
as much the business of everybody
to aid in the enforcement of the law
against the illicit sale of liquor, as
against murder, arson or theft.
Great Subscription Offer.
We have made arrangements with
the Farmers
Tribune a weekly agri­
cultural journal published at Sioux
City, la., whereby we are enabled
to offer our readers a very attractive
supscrption offer. It is one of the
strongest weekly farm papers in the
northwest and every farmer in this
and adjoining counties can profit by
reading its columns. It is ably ed­
ited and each issue contains timely
and interesting articles with refer?
ence to various lines of farm work,
also a strong home department
which will be especially interesting
to our lady readers. The Farmers'
Tribune is one of those papers which
stops when the "subscriptions ex­
pire. Readcarefally our announce­
ment which appears in this issue.

NOBLES COUNTY NOTES
County Superintendent Abbott
was here this week to visit the
Brewtser sohool. He stated, so we
are informed, that we have the beet
school in the oounty, barring none.
He might also have stated that we
have the handsomest -school board,
but it appears that this escaped his
notice.
D. V. Lees and Otto Knuth visited

From the Democrat.
One of the most successful farm­
ers says no corn should be used for
seed that has not been thoroughly
tested. The necessary precaution
now may save much work and wor­
ry later on and insure a good crop.
Robt. Reed, oil inspector for this

worthy cause.

From the News.
The poultry craze has struck sev­
eral of our business men and others
are about to be struck. Several are
chopping off on their cigar expense
account and putting the savings to
the credit of theii poultry fund.
Watch your neighbor and and see
his poultry yard grow this summer
—thoroughbreds, everyone.
John Maher slipped on the icy
steps at his home in the north part

are most painful.

Obituary.
John Sykes, the deceased, was
born in New York City, January
16, 1824, and died at his home near
Beverly, 111., Feb. 25,,1907, aged 83
years, 1 month and 9 days.
At the age of ten years he came
with his father's family to Beverly
township, where they became the
second settlers in the township.
Here, as a boy, he helped his
father to build the second log cabin
in the township and here the sub­
ject of our sketch spent 73 years of
his life on the land his ^father then
entered. The deoeased was of sing­
ular purity of mind and speech and
a most ardent lover of nature.
To him the ever ohanging appear
ance of the forest, the growth of a
tree or the opening of a bud were
subjects of untiring interest and
pleasure.
He enjoyed life and endeavored to
get all the good of living.
He was married to Miss Ethel Holt
April 11, 1852. He leaves to mourn
his loss his aged companion and
one son, R. H. Sykes.
In addition to his business here
the deceased invested successfully
in real estate in Minnesota, which
lie had improved and farmed. In
this he took much interest.
Funeral services in his memory
were held at the home on Wednes­
day, Feb, 27th, conducted by. the
Rev. C. B. Dabney, of Barry, 111.
A large number of friends gathered
from many places to express their
sorrow and their high esteem for
the departed The remains were

Old Fashioned Toothpicks.

toothpicks suspended round the neck
by a chain.
LOW {TEMPERATURE CREAM
SEPARATORS
Ability to SKIM CLEAN at LOW TEMPERATURE is
another important consideration in the ourchase of a cream
separator and one of the chief DIFFERENCES between
the DE LAVAL and other makes of separators.
The ordinary .cream separator is capable of doing reason­
ably good work with milk at a temperature of over 80 de­
grees. When the temperature is lower the skimming is so
poor that the loss of butter-fat is great, while only a very
thin cream can be run, and with most machines the bowl
scon clogs and will not skim at all.
Farm separation is usually made above 80 degrees but ev­
ery U9er knows tbat there are frequently times when the
milk must be separated cooler, unless a lot of trouble is gone
to in heating it which must injure the quality of the cream
and butter.
The superiority of the patent-protected "ALPHA-DISC"
type of bowl construction used in the DE LAVAL machines
is such that temperature makes little difference in results.
This is something so important in fadtory operation that
it is one of the reasons why fhe creamery use of DE LAVAL
machines is almost universal. Surely the buyet af a farm
separator makes a mistake to overlook it.
