WILLMAR, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20. ISIS
GOV. EBERHART IS MAKING A MISTAKE
We publish in this issue Gov. E berhart's opening gun in his cam
paign to have a public utilities law passed at a special session of the leg
islature to be called in October. If any emergency exists which warrants
the governor to inflict another session of the present legislature upon the
people of the state if there is any demand from the municipalities af
fected for immediate legislation if even public sentiment were ripe suffi
cient to crystalize into any definite demands along this line—there might
be some excuse for this campaign. As it is, it is the big utilities them
selves that are playing politics with the governor. They see what's com
ing and they want to forestall future legislation by forcing a law now,
while they believe that they have friends at court. The legislative com
mittee recently addressed hundreds of letters to representative men of the
state on this question. About three-fourths of those replying expressed
themselves as being opposed to the principle of taking away the control
of local utilities from the people served and both sides were nearly unan
imous in opposing a special session. Gov. Eberhart will not help himself
or the people of the state by calling a special session.
A big corn and alfalfa show is being promoted, to be held at Morris
the second week of December. It is going to be the biggest event of its
kind ever held in this section of country. Among the big prizes to be of
fered, we understand, will be complete silos, erected on the premises of
the winners. This will suffice to show that those having prize corn should
take extra good care to save the best to take to Morris. There has been
progress made in the growing of alfalfa in West Central Minnesota and
this fact the Morris show will demonstrate. Watch for further particu
lars in the Willmar Tribune.
In another month the county fair will be here. The premium list will
be issued the coming week, and let every family secure a copy and study
the prizes offered. Very often it has been the case that people will find
when they attend the fair items in which they would have carried off the
prize if they had possessed the forethought to enter the contest. Why not
study the premium list in advance and take advantage of every oppor
tunity where the excellence of your products gives the chance?
THE EDITOR BELIEVES
—That however glad we have been to receive regular visits from
Jupiter Pluvius at Willmar during the summer, he was hot welcome this
week, when the City of Willmar is trying to look its best on the occasion
of the visiting Elks.
—That Kandiyohi County will have the biggest and best crop of corn
ever harvested if present indications are correct.
—That Minnesota land is due to'have a big boom, between the
drouths of the south and the frosts of the north. There is no reason why
Kandiyohi county lands will not shortly bring as high prices as the best
In Illinois or Iowa.
%—Th county agricultural agent who is soon to begin his work
among us will have an immense field of labor before him.
—That the revival of racing at the County Fair is causing the
owners of driving horses in the county to sit up and take notice.
—That any further attempt to shut the public from the shores of
our most beautiful lakes should be opposed by all public-spirited people.

Summary Shows That Beneficial
Results are Coming.
At the meeting of county agricul
tural .agents oa Aug. 2, District Su
perintendent Balmer's report showed
remarkable progress in the work
done up to July 1, by the nine coun
ties then organized. Ten counties
now have agents and five others have
organized and are looking for agents.
A summary of some of the things
accomplished is thus given by Su
pervisor Balmer, reference being
particularly to the work of the
county agents:
Eight hundred and eighty-five far
mers called at their offices for con
sultation upon some phases of farm
work.
One thousand four hundred and
thirty-five farmers were visited by
county agents upon the farmers' own
farms to assist them in some project
and ninety meetings were held in
farming communities, with a total
attendance of 39,866 people.
Five hundred and .forty-six farm
ers co-operated in some kind of
demonstration of better agricultural
practice.
Although only two agents were in
the field to help farmers select seed
corn last fall, forty-six farmers co
operated in saving seed corn accord
ing to directions of the two men, and
from that selected seed, 622 acres
of com were planted.
While only five agents were in the
field at seed corn testing time last
spring, 470 farmers followed direc
tions in seed corn testing and plant
ed 6,000 acres frOm tested seed.
Three thousand eight hundred
acres of corn were directly cared for
under instructions of county agents.
One hundred and seventeen farm
ers followed instructions on alfalfa,
planting no less than 500 acres.
Eighty farmers were directed in
growing clover, 968 acres being
planted.
Forty silos were built owing to
county agents' influence.
One thousand, eighty-seven head
of pure bred and high grade live
stock were selected and imported in
to West Central Minnesota under
the leadership of county agents.
Six hundred'and ninety-four cows
were brought into cow-testing asso
ciations.
Twenty-eight herds of cattle were
tested for tuberculosis.
Twenty-eight farms were planned
for systematic crop rotation.
Fifty-two farmers' clubs were or
ganized, with a total membership of
more than 2,000 population.—Mor
ris Tribune.
Lovers of high class amusement
will be afforded a rare treat in the
form of a high class comedy, "A
Bachelor's Honeymoon," which will
appear here on Wednesday evening,
Aug. 27, at the Opera House. The
play is replete with witty lines and
sayings, and abundant with side
splitting situations. The cast is
composed of recognized performers,
fully capable of portraying their re
spective roles. The specialities and
musical numbers are of a pure, clean
nature that it is sure to gain the
hearty approval of all who witness
it. All in all the play is one that
will amuse, minus anything that
might tend to offend the most fas
tidious.—Adv.

Mother Makes Awful Find.
Monday, in St. Paul, the mother of
a little 3-year-old boy missed the
little fellow for a moment and after
searching the house found the child
laying in the street in front of her
home and near the walk with the
body of the infant crushed to death
by a passing vehicle. It was said
that a wagonload of sand and an
auto had passed^ by, seen by neigh
bors about that time, and it is thot
the auto driver is guilty of having
run over the child. One thing sure,
some of the drivers are not capable
of driving a wheelbarrow, and in
these times a great many of them
have no time to turn out for a per
son walking and think an auto must
be given the right-of-way over ev
erything else, no matter about run
ning down a person. Litchfield

The Newspaper Job.
Many people believe that a news
paper falls together without work or
concerted action or plan. Rev. Mc
Leod, a Presbyterian minister at
Pasadena was of the opinion, and
asked to be allowed to edit an edi
tion of the Pasadena Star. The edi
tor gladly accepted the opportunity
to go fishing and the minister took
up his duties in the newspaper office.
This is how he felt when he found
himself at the end of the task, which
it must be said, had been done ouite
creditably:
"My time is almost up as I pen
this last line my hand is almost
paralyzed my brain is befuddled and
I am free to confess that I am right
glad to vacate the holy spot. Such
rush and riot and disarray. Such a
jumble of potpourri it strikes me
as the effort to bring order out of
chaos, and to do it lightning quick.
"I am reminded of the memorable
words, "The earth was without form
and void, and darkness was upon the
face of the waters." Never shall I
criticise newspaper men more. I
shall pray for. them. They will have
my heart's forbearance henceforth
and forever. They are the hardest
worked, shortest lived, poorest paid
brain workers on this weary old
world of ours."—Ex.
The daily papers of this country
pulled off a pretty good stunt to sell
papers with the Mexico war scare
dope, ex-governor Lind going to get
chopped in two, etc, right when
there was nothing in sight for sen
sation. Lind would not be allowed
to land over there, but he is there
alright, safe and sound without a
scratch. Nothing doing in that line
anymore, but just wait a Kttie while,
the annual pennant, finish af base
ball, followed by foot ball slaughter,
will be turned lose and will back ev
rything else off the boards for
quite a long run.—Litchfield News
Ledger.
Men and Boots.
Did it ever occur to you what a
similarity there is between boots and
men? Boots go on feet, so do men.
A boot some times gets tight, so do
men. A boot to get on needs a pull,
so do men. Some boots have red
tops, so do men. Some boots are
imitation calf, some men are the
same article. Some boots can't
stand water, neither can some men.
When a boot is well soaked it is a
bad case, so is a man. A boot to be
of much account needs a mate, so
does a man. A boot when well heel
ed is comfortable, so is a man.—Ex.

SPECIAL PRIZE TO BOY
FOR BEST CORN AT FAIR
John Swenson Donates Pig to be
Given as Special Prize for Best
10 Ears Corn Shown by Boy.
In order to encourage the boys of
the county in growing good corn, Mr.
John Swenson, the well known
breeder of Duroe Jersey hogs has
donated a fine pure bred Duroc pig
with registration papers to the boy
under 18 years of age who brings in
the best 10 ears of corn at the Kan
diyohi County Fair. The corn is to
be grown by himself during the pres
ent season.
The pig in question is by a son of
Freed's Col., the boar that won
championship and sweepstakes at
the Iowa State Fair last year, so he
is a good one.
Boys, don't let a chance like this
go by.
C. L.McNELLY.
Farmers Should Exhibit at the State
Fair.
There will not be a county exhibit
at the State Fair this year. For this
reason a speeial effort should be
made to have Kandiyohi county well
represented by individual exhibitors.
Kandiyohi county produces some
splendid fruit and its exhibit at the
county fair is one of the best in the
state. Why not send a good collec
tion to the state fair?
Many farmers have prize winning
corn, fruit, grain and vegetables. If
every one who has some extra good
product would fix it up and send it
in they would receive their full share
of prize money.
One reason why more individual
entries have not heretofore been
made from this county has been the
difficulty of getting products entered
the Saturday before the fair opens.
This year the undersigned expects
