Entered In the Postoffice at Bemid]l, Minnesota, as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR'IN ADYANCE NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE A CRITERIAN. OF BUSINESS FNTERPRISE OF ANY COMMUNITY. The subjoined article, taken from the Frazee Free Press, contains some very interesting points concerning patronage of the home newspaper that should be read by every busi- ness man in this section of the state. The reference to lack of patronage of the local paper having a depress- ing effect upon persons looking up the business enterprise of any com- mnnity is a truthful statement; and certain portions of the article might be applied with all sincereity to" some of the business men of Bemidji, whose patronage of the two local papers is an exceedingly small item in their yearly expense. Says the Free Press, relative to Frazee business men: “The Free Press is the only rep- resentative that this village and community has got to advertise it- self ina commercial way and out- siders who see and read the paper certainly cannot form a very good opinion of the place considering the number of business advertisements that appear in its columns. “There are papers that come to the editor’s desk as exchanges pub- lished in towns of three hundred to five hundred inhabitants the columns of which are filled with advertise- ments of every line of business in the place and the impression that is conveyed to their readers “cannot belp but to be favorable. s “One would think that the towns wherein these papers are published contained as many thousands in- stead of hundreds of people. Our business men who have the best in- terest of Frazee at heart cannot help but to realize the impression that the readers of this paper have of this village. “We boast of fifteen hundred people but to judge by advertise- ments in this paper one would think that we had only about one bundred and fifty.” ONE FOR THE “KNOCKER.” Occasionally one finds a person so lacking in the principle of loyalty to this section of the country as to actually “knock” our fertile acres, claiming we cannot successfully raise agricultural products. The following, taken from the Pine River Sentinel, is applicableto all such disloyal persons: i “When you hear the knocker knocking this section of Minnesota, just ask him where he can find soil that will grow clover and all tame grasses as we do here. “Ask him where he can raise more potatoes per acre or better ones. *‘Ask him the particular spot on God’s green earth that can comgete with us in raising vegetables. “Ask him where the climate is any healthier or where purer water can be found. “Ask him where he can goand find a better class of people who consider schools and churches first and provide them in a new country as has been done here. *“Then if you wish to rub it in just ask him how much good he has ever been to any community and if there is any spot on earth that the Almighty has seen fit to fix up to suit him. “It’s a twenty to one shot he will not be able to answer cne quiz of the bunch intelligently, and if he could he wouldn’t do it.” TO FIGHT INCREASED RATES Agricultural and Vehicle Manufactur- ers Take Action. Chicago, Oct. 29.—A determined stand against any increase in freight rates, rumors of which have been agl- tating the shippers for some time, was taken by the National Association of Agricultural Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers at the annual conven- tion here. J. C. Lincoln of St. Louis, president of the National Industrial Traffic league. addressed the convention on “Transportation” and urged the ship- vers to follow the example. of the rail- roads and organize to further their interests.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR HEALTH Scalp and Hair Troubles : Generally Caused by.Carlessness. * Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which also pro- duces baldness. Never use a comb or brush belonging to someone e]sg. No matter how cleanly the owner may be, these articles may be in- fected with microbes, which iwill infect your scalp. It is far easier-to catch hair microbes than it is to-get rid of them, and a single- stroke of an infected comb or brush may well lead to baldness. Never try on any- body else’s hat. Many a hat-band is a resting place for microbes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or baldness, we have a remedy which we believe will completely -relieve these troubles. We 'are- so sure of this that we offer it to you with the understanding that it will cost you nothing for the trial if it ‘does not produce the results we claim. This remedy is called Rexall *93” Hair Tonic. We honestly believe it to be the most scientific remedy | for scalp and hair troubles, and: we know of nothing else that equals it for effectiveness, because of the results it has produced in thousands of cases. Rexall "93” Hair Tonic is de- vised to banish dandruff, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease, and make the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It does this because it stimulates the hair follicles, destroys the germ matter, and ‘brings about a free, healthy circulation of blood, which nourishes the hair roots, causing them to tighten and grow new hair. We want everybody who has any trouble with hair or scalp to ‘know that Rexall “93” Hair Tonic is the best hair tonic and restorative in existence, and noone should scoff at or doubt this state- ment until they have put our claims to a fair test, with the understand- ing that they pay us nothing for the remedy if it does not give full and complete satisfaction in every par- ticular. Two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Bemidji only at our store—The Rexall Store. Bark- er’s Drug Store. MANY JOIN SEARCH FOR MISSING BOAT Rescuers Hope to Save Sur- vivors of Shipwreck. “, 8t. John, N. B, Oct. 2 .—In the hope of being able to pick ap some of the crew of the wrecked Dpraldson line steamer Hestia 2 nwnber of tugs, ves- sels and other craft put cut from this port for Seal cove, Grand Manan isl- and, where the -Hestia ran upon a ledze and where more than a score of persons ave believed to have per- ished. The efforts of the rescuers were cen- tered on the whereabouts of one little lifeboat, which, overcrowded with men, was the last to leave the Hes- tla. When last observed the ocecu- pants of the frall craft were struggling in the heavy seas. The wind was blowing a gale off shore and it was the general opinion the lifeboat had beer carried out to sea. The condition of the six men res- cued by the lifesavers was pitiable. Left on the wrecked vessel, with the last boat gone and with no chance of escape in .view, the men’s nerves gave way under the strain. When taken off by the lifesavers the sur- vivors were almost unconscious from exhaustion. LEFT MILLIONS TO CHARITY Wiil of Caroline Phelps Stokes ls Made Public. New Yark, Oct. 2'.—Caroline Phelps Stokes, who died on Aug. 26 at Red- lands, Cal., left the bulk of her big fortune for the building of modern tencments in New York city. Her will, giving thousands to relatives and the residue of her $5,000,000 estate to the cause for better homes for the poor and the education of the negroes and Indians in the United States, has bezn filad here. Miss Stokes was the sister of the elder Anson Phelps Stokes and the aunt of J. G. Phelps Stokes, the mil Honaire socialist leader. She was the aunt of Caroline Phelps Stokes, -who married Robert Hunter, the socialist author. She was interested In the improvement of social conditions, es- pecially among the slum residents, the colored race and the foreign popula- tion. Great Northern Train Ditched. ¥argo, N. D, Oct. 28.—Great North- e northbound passenger train No. 9 jumped the track near Finkle, Minn., five miles east of Fargo. Everything but the locomotive and rear sleeper ‘went into the ditch and the track was badly torn up. None of the passen- | gers was Seriously injured. THROW ACID AT BALLOT BOXES ‘"English Sufiragettes Spring a New Sensation. NO GREAT DAMAGE DONE Number of-'Election’ Officers Severely ‘Burned, ‘but' the' Effort 'to Destroy the ‘Ballots Cast’ Ends ‘In Failure. Leader Declares the Government.ls to’’Blame for’ Driving the :Women to-Such' Acts. » London, Oct. 29.—Mrs, Chapin, a suffragette, ‘furnished an early morn- ing thrill at the Bermondsey by-elec- Uon when she smashed 4 beitle con- taining -corrosive acid upon a. ballot box. Her intention evidently was to destroy the ballots in the box as a protest against 'the exclusion of wo- men from :the:right - of - franchise, ‘What she: accotaplished was tae pain- ful burning of some of the election officers and the assurance of her own arrost. Slipping ‘into one of ‘the booths, where, perhaps, a thcusand ballots had been deposited, Mrs, Chapin drew from under .her- cloak a boitle in which ink had been mixed with cor- rosive acid and, hefore she covld be stopped, hurled th2 bottle upon the box. 'The- bottle broke into many pieces and the flylng acld splashed upon the election officers. A num- ber of the officers were so severely injured as ‘to require medlcal atten- tion. Another Similar Attempt. About the sawme time a similar at- tempt was:mads in another booth by a young girl whe wore the suffragette colors. In tha latter instance little damage was done beyond the burning of the fnger tips of the election offi- cials, who removed the bits of broken glass. So far as could be ascertained not much acid reached the baliots in either case. Later, in an interview, Miss Chris- tabel Pankhurst, while ‘deploring the wounding of th2 officials, asserted with muea emphasis: “It is the government that is re- sponsible. 1t is th2 government that drives women to these acts.” It appears ‘that this violence was planned by the Women’s Freedom league, the members of which glory in what was'done. ONE FORGOT TO FIRE PISTOL French Dramatist Fights Bloodless Duel With Critic. Oct. 28.—Henry Bernstein, Pariy, 'the dramatist, and Francis Chevassu, & dramatic critic, fought a duel with pistols at Prince Park. Neither was injured. M. Chevassu fired and missed. Bernstein did not discharge his ~weapon. The dramatist. when asked later -why he had not fired, re- plied “I forgot to.” The duel grew out of the publica- tlon of an article written by Bern- stein in which he attacked the critic. M. Chevassu issued the challenge. McCarren’s Estate Small. New York, Oct. 29.—It is stated by those familiar with the will of the late Senator McCarren that the Brook- Iyn politician left a fortune of $42,000 to his mothar. This is a surprise to his friends, as his wealth had been estimated at from $200,000 to $300,000.
