The flint corn has a long cob that is very small in diameter, giving a large amount of corn to the ear. Mr. Wright’s crop this year is hard to beat for quality. !

You either get your clothes from a clothing dealer, or you have them made by a tailor. K If you get them ready- made you should certainly get Clothcraft Clothes. If you get them tailor- made you should stop it— and get Clothcraft Clothes. The reasons in both cases are the same. Cloth- craft Clothes are absolutely equal in design, style, fit and finish, to the work of good cus- tom tailors. They are made from absolutely all-wool fabrics, and will wear better and retain their shape longer than nine-tenths of the custom-made clothing—and cost a good deal less.

SALOONKEEPERS SAY Moy !‘;I 3 POLITICAL ONE: County Attorney Says That Mz jority of People Want Laws I Enforeed. County Attorney MecDonald this morning issued an order compelling the removal of gamb- ling deyices from saloons in Be- midji and prohibiting their future operation. The operators of games and slot machines com- plied with the order, which was delivered.to all saloonkeepers of the city early this morning, and at the present time there are no gambling devices being run. A number of saloon men who also have conducted gambling tdevices in their places of busi- ness were of the opinion that the county attorney’s action in clos- ing gambling, coming so soon af- ter the adoption of the city chart- er, might have something to do with politics, and hinted that somebody was trying to whip them into line. Mr. McDonald stated this af- ternoon to the Pioneer that the only reason for his action was that a majority of the people of the city wanted to see a change, and that he, being ' a public ser- vant of the people, deemed it his duty to comply with their wishes, “It will be a closed town as long as the people want it,”’ said Mr. McDonald, “and it now looks to me as if the city had gotten to that stage where a majority can ruleit.” !
