Many have wondered at the smoky
haze of the past week. Great tracts
of timber have been burned and ars
still burning. In one place 30,000
acres Is a black waste. In another part
is a raging fire that at last accounts
had burned over 5,000 acres altho
hundreds of men fight the forest fires
out west there in Washington and
more states. How this destruction of
valuable timber will effect building
material is something the lumber
trust will soon show us!

will realize that it is at a grave risk
to health and to life itself, that youn«
growing girls are almost totally de

Your contributor and family en
joyed an auto ride to the northern
part of Roberts county last week. Th
.lost, noticeabV.1 thing was the num
ber of families to be seen out in tli
hay fields. More than one farmer w«
iw, where the wife and children were
the only helpers to rake and stack the
hay. Where arc the returned soldier
gone? There was a marked absence
of men almost I'ke that of last year
Little herds of milk cows stood in the
hot sun fighting flies—no shade and
precious little to eat in the pasture
And milk diminishes every time un
ler such conditions. Then is when
few rows of th-iving corn planted ir
ich soil, standing taller than a man
ut and thrown over to the cows tr.
at all they care for, and salt, always
near, can keep the milk flow up t.c
t'resh cow measure. The writer did
tor years and years plant .either com
iv.on corn, or sweet corn in rows a
ong the pasture fence, and when the
hot and dry senson arrived cut and
throw over heaps of corn for the cows
The milk is a rich creamy color, beau
iful to behold. "Fill tliem up" is the
only system, for like old bible time
bricks without straw" is an mpossi
bility. Cows can not give milk with
ut an abundance to eat.

It Is with tha keenest pleasure that
your contributor can this week write
of one of the fairest of the .many i.ur
daughters of the farm, here in out
town. Miss Margaret Schmidt, mem
ber of the clais of twenty-two boys
and girls, the 13th and largest class
that ever graduated from the Sisse
ton High School. It has been dubbed
'The Unusual Class" being for one
thing, the thirteenth in the line ol
commencements. The 8th grade of the
ciiy schools had to have an extra si.
weeks session vhich was taught Ir,
one of our sons of the farm, Mr. Clay
ton Schmidt, L-et'ore they were ad
mitted to the first year of the four
year course. In its last year the fl-.
wrought great havoc with the time
ailoted to the «eniors in which
complete their work. And becau««
of its difficulties we honor the mem
bers of the class all the more, i'.u
si.m toal of tim j. effort, expense, pa
tience and perseverance require.'.
each one who travels the road laid
out for our bov: and girls in order to
graduate from one of our liigl.
schools is something to be reckoned
with: The sacrifice required of tlv
mothers of all working class girls an 1
boys who graduate from a high school
L- so great as to form an obstacle that
only one mother in hundreds or even
thousands on the farm feel able tc
make it. Elder sisters, too, come in
for their share of honor, as.do fath
ers and brothers who must drive farm
teams an infinite number of times
i.o and from th^ school.. That all th
book will hereafter be free to stud
ents is good news. That in the not di
*ant future, all schools and hig'i
schools will undergo great changes
the opinion of many thinking peo
ple. Read from the August "Ameri
ci»n-Magazine" what Gene Stratton
Porter, born 1868 on a farm ir
V-abash Co., Indiana, writer of 1.1
books, the comoined sale of which is
over 7,000,000 says:
"I was placed in the public schools
of the nearest county seat, and an ef
fort made to instill Latin, Greek anf
calulus. In the whole of my school
life I never had one teacher wh
made the slight, st effort to discove?
what I cared for personally, what I
had been born to do, or who made
any attempt to help me in any direc
tion I evinced an inclination to deve
lop. I was to be pushed into the
groove in which all other pupils ran
When I could not be forced, it was
because I was of poor mentality oi
had a bad disposition."
Mr. and M°-- J. P. Aasness and
daughter Lena at present visiting at
the home of Mr and Mrs. Himle wil!
leave tor Tacoma, Wash., the las!, oi
July. Four of their daughters, tht
Misses Bertha, Emma, Annie and Lid
die reside their. Their sons Peter and
Alfred expect to go to the coast and
join the family later. One daughter,
Mary, now Mrs. Hesby resides at
Neilsville, Minn.,. Counting theli
daughter Mrs. Htmle residing in our
town and their ,?on Alderman Juilvf
Aasness of Sisse.'on, who also owns a
farm here, there is still anothci
daughter Hannah, now Mrs. Olson
who went as a Tlil Cross Nurse with
her husband, wh.i went as a blacK
fcmith, to the war front in France
Since their departure shortly atter
the beginnng of hostllltes in 1914
rot one word has been received either
by the parents or any of the ten bro
thers and sisters of Mrs. Olson. What
their fate may have been we can only
hope to have revealed some day.
Mrs. Aasness and daughter rec
ently returned from a visit amon^
old neighbors and relatives in Jack
son Co. Minn., where the trial of A
C. Townley and organizer Gilbert
was being conducted. There publi
opinion is strong tor Townley an
declares the ca?e "won't amount tc
anything" Farmers are Joining th
league every dav in great numbers
That trial was casting oil into the
flames!
TWO SPOTS
The town that can't afford any
mohey to watch out for little hollows
in the roads and fill them up before
they enlarge, Is usually the same
place that later is looking to borrow
a big sum to reconstruct its ruinech
highways.
The reputation which a town get?
depends a lot on the portion of it
visible from the railroad line. The
town may have the handsomest resi
dences in the section, but if the rail
road car view consists of tumble
down chicken coops and dilapidated
pigpens, no one is going to cary away
any good words tor that place.

"I never thought I would let my

others by telling them about it," said

the benefits received described Is a
gain of seventeen pounds.
"I had been suffering from stom
ach trouble for five years," she con
tinued "and had almost despaired of
ever getting relite. My appetite was
very poor and I always suffered so
much pain in my stomach after meals
that I had gotten almost afraid to eat
anything. My food would ferment and
the gas from it would press on my
heart until I would just have to fight
tor bteath. I often had nervous, sielt
headaches and was very dizzy at
times. I could hardly ever get a good
night's sleep, was very sick and al
ways got.up in the mornings feeling
as tired as when I retired at night.
In fact that, tired worn-out feeling
was with me all the time and I hardly
had strength to do my housework.
"Finally I got to taking Tanlac on
the advice of my daughter In Musko
gee, Oklahoma. She told me of a min
ister there who said he did not be
lieve there was ever a case of stom
ach trouble Tanlac would not re
lieve and the results in my case have
convinced me that he was right. Sooi|
after I began taking it my pp^tite
improved and I commenced to giin
both in weight and strength. My ap
petite is Just fine now, the gas has
stopped forming on my stomach and
I can eat what I please and a'.l I want
without ever having a pain or ar. un

sleep just like a child every night, get

refreshed.,
When I began taking Tanlac I
only weighed one hundred and eigh

actual gain of seventeen pounds. This
is just what six bottles »of Tanlac has
done tor me and there's nothing too
good for me to say for It."
