One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- t ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. R.

Otticial County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Get Ready First. The move for an immigration bureau for Minnesota is a move in the right direction. The great- est need we have, perhaps, is some systematic means of adver- tising the resources and possibili- ties of Minnesota to the outside world. This fact applies with peculiar force to northern Min- nesota and to Beltrami county. Take it here in our own county. Had we an organization for the express purpose of exploiting the resources of the county, for find- ing settlers, for advancing legis- lation to put the country in shape for the settler, we should be able to develop Beltrami county ten fold faster than at present. The Princeton Union speaks straight to the point when it says, “The cry is for a state immigra- tion bureau to get settlers into Minnesota. as it goes. but you can’t expect immigrants to settle on the un- improved lands of this state in any large numbers until you get a few roads into these unsettled regions. Northern Mille Lacs county has lost ma;dy settlers simply because the settlers de- sired to do something else be- sides fish, hunt and trap. They wanted roads, but couldn’t get Good enough as far "|them. The sameis true in every unsettled part of the state. Min- nesota wants roads—good roads —northern Minnesota needs them badly. Get your roadsand your settlers will come fast enough. need to pay a bonus to get set- tlers. We have attractions Can- ada would give millions to have.” The great thing which retards the development of north central Minnesota is the fact that thous- ands of acres of treeless prairie lie to the west and northwest of us, and these, offering the line of least resistence, get the settler first. That a living is more sure more easy and more plentiful in the wooded districts of Beltrami, Itasca, Hubbard and Cass coun- tiesis certain, but this is a fact which the settler often has to learn by actual experience. He has but to plough up the soil of the prairie and drop in his seed and the prospect looks attractive to him, After he has had a few years experience with hail, drouth, rust, boll weevil, wet sea- sons and a hundred other ills that plague the settler of the prairie, he will begin to see the unwisdom of passing by richly wooded districts where a living is certain at all seasons of the year. But if we want the settler now, we must make the way smooth before him, as well as tell him of our resources. Drainage and good roads are the prime requis- ites. One is hardly more essen- tial than the other—both are im- perative. With the northern counties drained and threaded by a system of good roads the devel- opment of north central Minne- sota will be swift as well as sure. Minnesota does not GOVERNOR VAN SANT says that he has become a candidate for United States senate because of the abuse heaped upon\ him, "Bob Dunn aught to become a can- didate for president right away.

Listen to this from the Madelia Times Messenger: A good story is told of the edi- tor of a German wpaper not a thousand miles from Fairmont. It seems he does not read Eng- lish readily, and the stories of a colored colony to be established near Blackduck, Minn.,, by Booker T. Washington, attracted his atteation. Thinking it inter- esting he published a'story that a colony for the purpose of rais- ing black ducks was to be started in Northern Minnesota and went on to say that he saw no reason why black ducks raised here would not be just as good as those imported from Italy and Hungary. It was simply a case of not understanding ‘English as she is spoke.” PIONEER WANT COLUMN No Charde Less Than 15¢c. HELP WANTED. S E e IR WANTED — Dishwasher at the Grill. Must be strong.

Its citizens were ever quarreling among themselves and saving their sympathy for strangers. Every man was the leader ofa faction and the women were given to partisan gossip. Pros- perity was killed, because the business men would lock their own stores and sally out and drive business away from the doors of competitors. The spirit of the town was “tear down,”’ It was said that the editor of the Pine Bluff Boomer died from no cause whatever, except from breathing she town air. We suspect that he ate nothing but air as a steady diet and that star- vation was the chief cause of his death. Be that as it may, Lum- mox was dead, there was no use to keep enmity living. So the people turned out in large num- bers to his funeral, and no citizen of that town was ever escorted to his last nap by a larger number of representative murderers. The Boomer did not die. A stranger, representing the wife of the deceased, came and agreed to pay off .the mortgage on the newspaper. The first issue of the new paper was awaited with great public interest. It came and public interest was paid in large dividends. “The Boomer having lied for a year, will be truthful this week; having stooped, and struggled and cowed during its natural life will celebrate this week by being strictly honest,” Thus read the salutation of the new editor, and every column added proof to his assertion. The paper was- loaded with honesty, boiling over with blunt truth, as this specimen paragraph would show: poor to pay the doctor for fixing his son’s broken leg, thinks he has enough coin to buy a seatin the legislature this fall. He has hired several county papers to ‘mention’ him, and has already threatened ®o foreclose mort- gages on several of his doubtful boosters. Smith always gets what he goes after, because he knows when to go. Night time is best for the success of most of his enterprises.” Nearly eyery citizen in town came in fora “roast.” The vil- lage was rent in twain, and angry crowds gathered on every cor- ner to discuss the outrage. But the more ‘‘respectable” citizens rewained quietly at home. The Boomer had pictured their meanness so accurately that they were ashamed to look their pet dogs in the face. The aspiring Smith purchased the Boomer and the new editor retired abruptly from the field, satisfied that he had ina small measure revenged the martyred ‘editor, whom gossip says wasa near relative of his. * : “Joseph Smith, who was too|} fair.
