1 $?" Ir WARREN SHEAF JOHN P. MATTSON, Editor and Prop. Published every Thursday. Covered tn the Post Office at Warren us Second Class Mail Matter. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR, Legal Advertisement! at Legal Rates, Official Paper of MarshalI County As an illustration of how inter-de pendent" we are upon one another, and how the misfortune of one class may affect another class thousands of miles away may he cited the fact that the morning after the hard frost In California, the Sheaf received a tel egram from the advertising agency or dering the advertisement of "Sunkist" oranges discontinued. We had quite a cold snap for a few days but there was nothing here to spoil by the low temperature (32 de grees). A few more shovels full of coal or a few more sticks of wood were necessary to keep up the fires, that was all. But in California the cold wave ruined the orange crop al most totally, the loss being estimated at $40,000,000. The fruit farmer is much more liable to suffer from frost than the grain farmer. We heartily concur in Mr. R. Cously, Mathwig"s suggestion in this paper about securing an agricultural expert for this county. By having some good man, well trained in the theory and practice of farming, to visit indi vidual farms and give suggestions and information, more can be accomplish ed for improved methods of farming than by all the talk at farmers' insti tutes. Every farmer has some prob lems peculiarly his own about which he would welcome advice on the spot by those competent to give it. Let the people of the county take hold of the suggestion which Is a very good one. WARRING LABOR AND CAPITAL Without further discussion of the sentence imposed on the dynamite conspirators, or without stopping to deplore the awful crimes in which they are convicted of having a share, the question may well be asked at this time what be done to bring peace into thetajt*med camp of .modern industrialism./- The Amej$$ijr peoj^are' npf $j position to lecture Europe on the' fol ly of militarism, when in so many of their industries the strike-breaker and the rioter impose burdens equally vex ing and costly. How can the bitter anger be remov ed from the heart of the* workingman as seen in so many employments? Jail sentences may intimidate the most violent, but as long as" this spirit of anger remains, bricks cannot be laid nor can iron be cast efficiently. In the old days when the employer Mved personally among his men, call ing many of them by name, some by their first names, the problem was easy. To-jday the employer is com monly some impersonal holder of a heap of stock certificates in a safe de posit box 1000 miles away. Not much room for friendship or mutual ad justment there. And yet, even in this day of great industry, there are thousands and thousands of large factory towns where there seems to be a good de gree of peace between employer an& employed. Let the workingman remember that strikes are not won by dynamite. Ca pital will pull its money out of mills and put them into government bonds before it will give up to the gun in the face. On the other hand, let the capitalist remember that never again can a big business go on to large success, with* out making positive, consistent efforts toward improving the living condi: tions of its men. oi '^y: s-^/.^V SIMPLE STATE FUNCTIONS A Washington dispatch says the president-elect would like to walk to the capitol inauguration day, if it were not that the crowds of curiosity seekers would prevent it. And Gov. Sulzer of the greatest state of the union, wearing his old grey suit with a plain derby hat, walk ed to the capitol to take the oath of office. -Ir Many people will call Gov. Sulzer's Induction into office tame and uninter esting, and will feel that the greater the post, the more impressive should e the dignity that surrounds it. As far as wearing your old clothes on such an occasion goes, one would advise the new president-elect not to follow the New York man's example. The choice of clothes subtly registers the importance you place on any oc casion. If you invite your friends to your home for a party, and don your work ing togs for that affair, they would logically assume that you did not care whether you pleased them or not. Gov. Sulzer did not mean to convey that idea, but his old clothes gave the impression that he regarded t3xe as sumption of one of the highest offices in the United States as of no moro im portance than an excursion for theand purpose of jollying the voters at a cat tle show. But as respects frills, fuss, and fea thers, there Is much to be said in fa vor of simplicity. Let the public ser vant convince the public of his great-, uess, by the unselfish devotion' with which he fights for efficient govern- pie.'*''.-c '$&*"': Prancing horses and marchiug hosts jare a poor substitute for economy in using government'money and syste matdc efforts to better the condition of the common man. Then too, gilt lace and martial dis play costs money that someone has to pay. And that someone is not the president nor tihe governor. The mo ment you begin to throw money away for some purpose npt directly neces sary for efficient government, that mo ment you help spread the impression that the public treasury is on tap for all comers. THE TEAKETTLE AS A DOCTOR The old teakettle that Mother and "Dad" used to have sitting on the stove in the winter evenings singing elf-like songs and belching little white clouds of steam from its crooked stem, stewing and gurgling continu saved doctors' bills for Mother and "Dad." If those who live in hot air-heated or hot-water-heated homes will just look back to those days and see how religiously Mother and "Dad" kept the kettle bodling, they will find another reason why Mother and "Dad" were healthy. Humidity in the atmosphere inside the home, is just as essential as humi dity in the air out-o'-doors Low percentage of moisture inside induces headaches, low vitality and a general susceptibility to colds. The average outside humidity during the winter is about 65 per cent of saturation. The relative indoor humidity should be about the same. The drier the air is in a room, the harder it is to heat, for the reason that the heat passes thru. When there is moisture in the air, however, the heat is arrested and the room is Warmed. Mother and "Dad" know this and Mother and Dad" kept the little old kettle continually steaming on the stove. If those who live in homes (now that 'are almost hermetically sealed wen the Windows are* down if they ^11 keep a "kettle on the stove or occasionally each day cause water to be evaporated in the room, they will find the air warmer, find them selves feeling Brighter and, find they are less susceptible tp colds. Many of the poorer homes in Minnesota are better human habitations than the mansions and apartments of the rich because they afford better ventilation and because they have the little old kettles stewing on the stoves.Health Talk No. 25. BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON'S PAT- RIOTISM Over half a century ago,, leading six hundred Norwegian youths armed with whistles, he entered the Christl ania theatre, and with shrill discords drove off the stage the Danish-play and players which until then had sup planted the language and spirit of "Garale Norge." Thus, in a demon stration which startled the Norwegian capital and paralyzed staid officialdom for the moment, he began.his life-long struggle to re-establish the national spirit, and raise the ambitions and purposes of his people to a higher level. While often exposed to parti san hatred at home and abroad, he never stooped to the defence of abu ses because they were Norwegian, but alway| declared that "Norway must do rij titat any cost." During the first twent years of his activity, there was i movement which he did net either! advocate or combat no public quest! in whose final settlement he was not an important factor.} His| novels enthralling in interest, were never without a lesson and pur pose, |md his patriotic poems and songs awakened an enthusiasm that had An bored since the is Saga Scald had laid aside the harp.forever indeed his "We Love the Land that Bore TQs," is practically the national song Qf Norway today.,f/,' \ii'- His demands that woman be placed on the same plane of citizenship with man, and be judged by the same stan dard of morality, were insistent in his newspaper and lecture utterances, and inspired his great drama, "A Gauntlet," and two of his greatest novels, "The House of the Kurts", and "In Gad's Way." His efforts for Nor wegian independence found full frui tion and secured for him the popular appellation, "Norway's Uncrowned King" at least in his last years he received the royal salute of a Norwe gian regiment. Nor was his love foi* freedom and humanity limited by the narrow boun daries of his sea-washed, fjord-indent- ed, lake-studded mountain-land. Th# fearless champion of righteousness and freedom, he openly advocated t^e. cause of Finland against Russia, ${ Denmark and Poland against Prussia, even of the Slovacks against Hun* gary-Austria. Dying at seventy-flour., he received at the last the royal ob sequies of a sincere and pathetic re-^ gret and a-dmlratlorf^orld-wide and enduring,' THE DAIRY INDUSTRYVU|JVIINNE- SOT A 'K'^'WS'^ Some interesting dairy figures have recently been gathered by H. J. Max field, commissioner of immigration, which show a remarkable growth of Minnesota's creamery Industry, dur ing the past twelve years. "I confess that I am surprised," said Mr. ftjtax field, "and I believe that many of our people will be when they learn that Minesota creameries have more than doubled in the past twelve years. In 1899, Minnesota had 582 creameries, and in 1911 she had 814. In 1899 our creameries manufactured 44,007,93?* pounds of butter, against 98,984,789 pounds in 1911. Here is the most in teresting and important fact of all. In 1899, $6,959,914.55 was paid out to our farmers for butter fat, against $22,- 381,375.26 in 1911, or a gain of $1,5,- 421,460.71,more than three times as much in 19il as was paid out in 1899. This of course is not due entirely'to increased production, but largely to advance in prices. The advance in price can best be observed by comparing the average price paid per pound for butter fat in 1899, which was 17.5, against 27.18 in 1811, an advance of about ten 4cents per pound. In 1899, the creameries of this State had 40,189 patrons, against 90,704 in 1911. 331,512 cows were supplying Minnesota creameries in 1S99, against 714,318 in 1911. These two latter cases show a substantial In crease and both have more than dou bled. The following table shows some figures from Minnesota creameries for the past twelve years: Pounds of butter m^e.l.?.l'..'.:.Sfi^i.r. Amount paid patrons for butter fat $6,959,914.55 Average price per pound for butter fat 17.5 Number of creamery patrons 40,189 Number of cows supplying creameries. 331,512 The above figures were taken from the Dairy & Food Commissioner's.re ports. -The 1911 report shows that Minnesota cows produced an average of 139 pounds of butter each. The amount received by each patron aver aged $246.75. When we consider the fact that Minnesota has many thou sands of acres of undeveloped land, ail of which are partlcuarly adapted to dairying, her future as a dairy state looks exceedingly bright, and I predict that in the next ten years we will again see this remarkable indus try doubled. The foregoing figures do .not take into account the value of cheese pro duced in Minnesota, nor the values of the byproducts of the dairy industry. It is safe to say, that all of the dairy products of the state are worth annu ally to the farmer $40,000,000.00, out side of the indirect value to agricul ture by the keeping of stock on thschool farm. Dairying is profitably carried on in older states, where land sells for much more than Minnesota land. If dairying is profitable on $200 land, it is necessarily much more profitable in 'Minnesota on land that costs only from $25 to $125 per acre. 1 *j TO MY MOTHER Deal gently with her, Time: these many years OfJife have brought more smiles with them than tears. k-*A Lay not thy hand too harshly on her "rj.' now, But trace decline so slowly on her brow That (like a sunset o'f the Northern clime Where twilight lingers in the summer time, And fades at last into the silent night, Ere one may note the passing of the flight) .C^v'^&tfiflii^ So may she passsince 'tis our com mon lot As onet who, resting] ^r notr ihg sleepf and knows & John Allen Wyeth. i^ Not Full of Oritf.

There are two things jfchat are neces sary to knowing how to eat Never eat until "good and hungry." Being "good and hungry" is not felt In the body only in the head. Be sure about the location of the "hungry feeling." Xf your "mouth waters" at the thought or smell of any given food, you are 'good and hungry" for it. If you have a faint, or, uncomfortable, feeling in the stomach, it is not hunger, but dys peptic craving. It is the same kind of an "all-gone" feeling that a drunk ard has when he cannot get a fresh drink of "booze." Don't mind that bad feeling in the Btomach, but wait for the keen desire for food in the head, accompanied by the "watering of the mouth." The next necessity of right eating is to not eat"when your are worried or angry. What you eat under those depressing conditions will not digest well, and will hurt you instead of help you. Waiting for a keen appetite, and calm mental condition, will bring both of these requisites of good digestion quickly. The growing, real hunger, will make you forget your other trou bles. yt To sum up: Eatingr ight Is' a very simple mat ter and consists of: FirstDon't eat until "good and hun- PT-" SecondDon't? eat when angry, worried, or, when you cannot enjoy your food. ThirdChew all solid food until:i.t swallows itself. .^t^i'v.* '-iHltiv FourthGet all taste out of liquid or mushy food by sucking or sipping. FifthStop' eating when the appe tite begins to say "enough." SixthYou will lose weight at first, even if you are thin to start with, but in a little time you will find your normal weight and stop. SeventhDon't think about the num ber of chews or sips but only of the enjoyment of the taste. EighthDon't imagine that meat is necessary to strength. No meat meals give better strength and endurance results. NinthRemember that a week, or two weeks, of careful attention to learn ing how to eat, as above, will put you in the habit of it so that you will not have to trouble yourself about It after a while. TenthRemember that dietetic righteousness means less money cost and more solid enjoyment of the food and, also that It makes It easy to be rlghteoua InNOther ways. These are ten good commandments of right eating, and unless you respect them, and observe them, you are a dietetic sinner, and do not know what Is good for you. TALK WITH THE CHILDREN One Way of Interesting the Young sters in Proper Method of Caring for the Teeth. I am going to begin my talk with you by asking a question. I would rather ask questions than answer them because it is easier to ask them, sometimes, than it is to answer them. Here Is the question: How many of rou washed your faces before you came to school this morning? (Pause.) Well, that is good. All of you washed your faces. Now, I ara going to ask rou another question, cross-your-heart truth about it: How many of you cleaned your teeth before coming to ichool this morning? (Pause.). Well, that Is fairly good but quite a number of you did not do so. Now, I think, If you are going to omit one of those cleanings you had better clean your teeth and let your faces go dirty. But I would not omit either of them if I were you for If you/lo not wash your faces they will look badly and if you do not wash your teeth It will be bad tor you in a number of ways. Now for another question. How many of you ever had the toothache? (Pause.) Oh my! Nearly every one f you have had the toothache. Well, if you have had the toothache it is not necessary for me to tell you it la not alee. It hurts. But maybe I can help rou some by telling you what makes the teeth ache and how you can keep from having It. Nobody likes the toothache, do they? Is there any one here that would like to have the tooth* iche? (Pause.) No, not one. |||||S Well, you know teeth do not ache unless they decay and first I want to tell you whajt makes them decay. But before I do so I want to ask you an other question. Let us suppose the evening meal is over. Every one has left the table and mother is clearing things away. Here is a nice piece of meat and here are some good fried potatoes and here is some butter, and here is some nice strawberry jam. It is all good to eat and mother wants to keep it until tomorrow. Where does she put it? (A voice, "In the ice box/') That is right. She puts It in the ice box. But why does she put it in the ice box? Why not put it on the back steps where the sun and rain would reach it? (A voice, "It would rot, or spoil or decay.") That is right! It would decay or rot if it w^s left out In the sun and, rain. Now that is just what the food that stays in your mouth does. It rots or decays there. Every time you eat anything a little food Is left between the teeth and around the necks of the teeth, and aa the mouth is warm and moist, after a While the food'rots and decays just as the food from the table would do 11 pther put it on the back steps. DOESN'T FEAR ZERO WEATHER Qlrl With Cot and Waterproof Blanket Spends Her Nights in Open A|r During All Seasons. Chicago.For the first time In two years Harrie Downs, 12 years old, spent the other night in a convention al atmosphere of steam radiators and wall paper. It was not because it waa cold. Harrie slept outdoors every night, during Chicago's seventy-three-houre' stretch of below-zero weather. The trouble waa that she got home a little late from a party and the effort making her bed outside didn't seem worth while. Harrie is the daughter of E. B. Downs of Evanston, general manager of the Elgin and Belvidere Electrlo Railway company. Two years ago she was bothered with adenoids. A spe cialist advised that Harrie sleep out side, winter and summer. Mr. Downs purchased a cot, a waterproof blan ket, and a porch screen. He hung the Bcreen on a porch of the Downs apart ment, a block from Lake Michigan. "It'll be nice tonight," commented Harrie, surveying the snow-laid floor. "I always like it when it snows.
