MORRISON COUNTY
FIRST ON GROUND
Morrison county is the first to
climb aboard the exhibit band
wagon and make a noise like a
challenge for its representatives arrived at the State Fair
grounds ten days ago and and
have been working like beavers
ever since. This energetic
county has determined to have
first honors in the county exhibit
at the State Fair, and if that
early-bi r d-w h oc oppe d-t h e-
worm adage isn't all buncombe,
then Morrison stands-an excellent chance. At all events, no
one will begrudge a cordial
word of praise fbr the prompt
and enegetic manner in which
this county has gone about its

SPECIAL
THti
RATES TO
FAIR.
Special rates on all railroads
from stations in Minnesota have
been made for all who will attend the Minnesota State   Fair.
This will be welcome news to
the two hundred thousand visitors to the Twin cities during
the week of September 5th-lUth
and will undoubtedly cause an
attendance far in excess of any
in past years. Every railroad
leading into Minneapolis and
St. Paul will charge one and
one-half fares for the round
trip, or three cents a mile. This
action was taken at the Western
Passenger Association, when
the managers of the western
traffic on all lines voted to make
this special concession on ac
count of the three state fairs,
those of Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin. No other state fairs
in this country are favored in
this wa}\ which is pretty clear
evidence of the importance of
the Minnesota State Pair. Not
even has this special rate been
grani-ed to delegates who will
attend the forthcoming conservation Congress, altho as the
State Pair and Conservation
Congress will make the Twin
cities the news center of the
nation during the big week of
September 5th, a special reduction will probadly be made so
as to include every visitor to
both of the great events.

A  Custom  That Can   Be Traced  Back
to the Earliest Ages.
Cremation    has   been    practiced   by
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages, aud, although in pagan countries it  may  have taken  the
form of fire worshiping, there can be
no doubt that its adoption  by tbe ancients was for the most part prompted   by   other   than   religious   reasons.
Creeks ascribe its introduction to Hercules,  who,  having sworn  to transmit
the   body    of    Argus    to    his   father,
thought this the most convenient way
of fuitilliug bis promise.    According to
Homer, tlit- burning of the dead was a
common   practice   among   the   Greeks
long   before  the  Trojan   war.   but   the
earliest   record   of   it   is   among   t lie
Scythians,  who Inhabited the vast  region  known  under  the  name of  Tar.-
tary.     Slender  aceonuts  handed  down
concerning the manners of some of the
ancient   natives of  Hindustan  also allude to the custom     The idea of purification by fire was in all ages universal,  and  with  good  reason.    Some believed that the body was andean after
the departure of the soui, and  it  was
therefore    deemed    ueeessarv    lhat    it

FILES FOR COUNTY
ATTORNEY.
Attornej* C. Rosenmeier of
Royalton has filed for county
attorney7 on the republican ticket. It is probable that neither
Mr. Rosenmeier nor Don M.
Cameron, the present incumbent, who has filed for re-npm-
ination on the democratic ticket, will have anj* opposition
at the primaries.
Mr.Rosenmeier who has practised law for the past four years
at Royalton stands very high in
his profession. While he is a
comparative stranger in many
parts of the county, he purposes making a vigorous and aggressive campaign and undoubtedly will give his opporent a
merry chase for the office.
GONE  TO
HER   REWARD
Mrs. Barbara Scbeberl died
at the home of her son-in-law,
Louis Feucht, in the village of
Pier;* last Monday. She had
been ill for the last live or six
years but was not confined to

St. Joseph's cemetary.
CARE OF THE HANDS
The hardest, roughest hands
mav* be made soft and white in
a month or two with the proper
care Rainwater is considered
best for washing them, but a
little borax added to hot water
will counteract its effects and
make it just as good. If you
are undecided as to a good malt
tonic, a trial of golden grain
belt beer will convince you of
its healthful and nourishing
qualities. Order of your nearest dealer or be supplied E. S.
Tanner, Little Palls.
Great Benefit to Soil.
Where clover has been grown
throughout the state, crops rotated,
live stock kept and farm manure used
on the soil, experiments at the Minnesota Experiment Station and a number of farms where a record of experiments have been kept show that an
equlibrium as to nitrogen has been
maintained. In those cases the mineral plant food has been kept in a
splendid available condition. Under
such conditions maximum crops have
oeen raised.
