Entored In the Postottica at Bamid]l, Minnesota, as second class matl SUHSDRIPT]UH--—SS,&I} PER YEAR IN ADVANCE A GETTING TOGETHER CONVENTION. Anearnest appeal that should touch the quick of every man who believes there is a “Northern Minnesota,” is being made upon citizens of this great north country by a com- mittee of real men. This conven- tion is to be held at Bemidji February 17th and 18th 1910. For what Northern Minnesota has not and should have she is herself partially to blame—and why? Just because it lacked “Team Work” that’s it, team work, working to- gether, that’s what wins. Good wide-a-wake hustlers are all right, we have them too, lots of ’em, and we are proud of them, but they can’t do it all alone. They must be backed up all the time by every worker in the field. This wins. It isa conceded fact, that the northern portion of this great state of ours, has been in many instances neglected and if we our- selves do not suggest “beneficial legislation pertaining to northern Minnesota, what should and can we expect? At this convention next month let us thresh out at least the most important subjects for future legis- lation. Itis your duty dear friend and neighbor to be at this convention. We want you there to talk it over. It dosen’t make any difference who you are or what you are—You're in the game. That’s the point. And if you're in it with determination, and grit, and enthusiam and show the proper spirit, you’re just as im- portant as the leader of the band, and the “team work” of the North- ern Minnesota Development Associ- ation will be just that much nearer the winning point. Now we’re in this association to win. We bave the greatest team in the world. It should be strenghened when and where ever itcan. All that’s necessary is “Team Work,” playing the game together and we’ll hang on té the championship pennant we’ve already won. Play the game like getlemen and you’ll find it a game worth while, SPARROW PIRATE OF THE AIR Department Advises Ita Extermination. ‘Washington, Jan. 21.—The English sparrow is the pirate of the air, just as the rat is the freebooter of the earth, and ought to be exterminated. So rules the department of agriculture in a bulletin just issued, which also tells how to get rid of him. He studiously hunts and eats in- sects which are beneficial to plant life, while he passes over more or less those which are harmful. The only good thing he does is to eat the seed of weeds and prevent their spread. Aside from that there is nothing to be said in his favor. More than that, he is murderous. He hunts the nesting places and destroys eggs and young bluebirds, house wrens, tree swallows and barn swallows. The robin, the batbird and the mocking bird he at- tacks and drives out of parks and shade trees. He has no song, but he drives out the song birds and brings only noise in return.

CAMPAIGN WAS EXPENSIVE It Cost Storrow $103,250 to Run for Mayor of Boston. Boston, Jan. 21.—It cost James J. Storrow $103,250 to make the fight for mayor, according to his sworn state- ment.

New York, Jan. 21.—Arthur Shibley, the six-year-old boy who was wounded when his companion, Robert Lomas, was shot and killed by a supposedly insane man a few days ago while coast- ing in Highbridge park, is dead after a brave fight for life.

While many people in their prime doubt the assertion that “the hairs of our head are num- bered,” yet there is today many a man and woman fast reaching the point where this statement is literally brought home to them. If you suffer {rom irritation of the scalp, and from dandruff, or if your hair is falling out, do not wait until you reach the point where you can actually count how many hairs are left on your head. Most cases of baldness are caused because the roots lacks nu- trition. In such cases there isa microbe which bores through the scalp along the line of the hair in- to the root and when it lodges there it begins to destroy the fatty matter around the hair roots, When the scalp and hair roots are strong and healthy, itis impossi- ble for these microbes to ger in their deadly work. We can promise you that, if your hair is falling out, and you have not let it go too far, you can repair the damage already done by using ““Rexall ‘93" Hair Tonic. It is a scientific, cleansing, anticep- tic, germicidal preparation, that destroys microbes, stimulates good circulation around the hair roots,. promotes hair nourishment, removes dandruff and restores bair health.

Remember you can obtain it only at our store,— The Rexall Store. Barker’s Drug Store. ' ON CHARGE OF DEFRAUDING Criminal Action May Be Taken Against Railroad Officials.

RESULT OF PRICE SLUMP Latest Suspension Also Caused by Crash in Hocking Coal, the Firm Having Made a Specialty of Han- dling Orders for That Stock—Cir- cumstances in Connection With the Failure to Be Investigated. New York, Jan. 21.—The suspension of Roberts, Hall & Criss, brokers on the stock exchange, is announced. The firm’s liabilities are $3,000,000. Mr. Criss, the board member of the suspended firm, was the specialist who handled the orders of the Colum- bus and Hocking Coal and Iron com- pany stock pool on the floor. Criss endeavored to stay the flood tide of selling orders in the stock and before the day was over almost col- lapsed and had to be assisted from the exchange floor. In announcing the suspension Pres- ident Thomas of the stock exchange added that all contracts on Hocking Coal held by members of the exchange with the suspended firm would be sold “under the rules.” President Thomas said that special circumstances in connection with the suspension of the firm would call for investigation by the governing com- mittee and that this investigation would be begun without ‘delay. The The stock market was still violently disturbed in the early dealings as a sequel to the crash in Hocking Coal and the financial embarrassments which that involved. Another slump in Hocking Coal and urgent liquidation in some other stocks recently the center of specula- tion unsettled the tone and caused a sharp reaction. Many of the opening gains were wiped out and fractional losses estab'ished. BY INCREASING HEAD TAX Canadian Member of Parliament Would Bar Undesirable Immigrants. Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 21.—Further legis- lation to restrict the immigration of Asiatics into Canada may be enacted through the passage of a general immi- gration bill presented to the house by Frank Oliver, minister of the interior. It provides that immigrants must have $300 with them upon arrival in this country. Mr. Oliver, in presenting the bill, said it was especially designed to keep | out undesirable immigration from the United States. Although the highest class of immigration that ever came into any country is the influx of Ameri-! can farmers into the Western prov- inces a great many Europeans seek admission to Canada through the Unit- ed States. Upward of 4,000 were re: jected last year. A board of inquiry will be established to make the law more workable. English Bank Rate Reduced. London, Jan. 21.—The directors of the Bank of England at the weekly meeting reduced the minimum rate of discount from 4 to 3% per cent. Cheap discount rates, a cessation in the de- mand for gold for the Continent dur- ing the past week and the improved monetary situation generally caused the directors to make the change.
