Hot air manufacturers. There are several million people who manu- facture it. But the “American make” is much more effective than the imported article. People who “‘sass” Central when using telephones in Copenhagen are caught on a graphaphone and, when they deny the use of boorish lan- guage, are confronted with the records of what they did say. ‘The experiment has secured politness among telephone users there and might be used to advantage right here in our own state, Militant suffragettes in New Jersey declare that they will go to jail rather than pay for the removal of snow before houses which they own. One thing should be remem- bered by the militant suffragette; gallant man is never made gen- tle by the broomstick, and a woman who enters into physical combat with a man steps from a pedestal to a level that harbors little sentiment. Kaiser’s rival candidates for treas- urer have had difficulty in seeing the reason for his strength. Some of them have got it settled that heis onan Eberhart “slate,” and they have been cussing the governor. One delegation ran bump into the governor on the proposition the other day. Two friends of George E. Hanscome, of Foley, were down here to see about his chances. About the first thing they did was to get an audience with Governor Eberhart, and then they told him that they wanted him to keep his hands off the treasurer fight. The governor sort of sized them up and looked as though he wondered why the keeper let such “‘batty” ones get away. That was all the satisfaction they got. If they had taken a little trouble to inquire, they could have found out that the governor is keep- ing his hands off all contests for other places on the ticket. He knows better. If he wanted to commit political suicide, he would start out on that “slate” game and try to work it. Adolph Olson Eber- hart may look simple and guileless, but he never reached his present eminence by monkeying with the buzz saw, or the elephant either. ~—Craokston Times. THE BEMID)I SURPRISE PARTY. The Bemidji convention equally and mutually a surprise to St. Louis county and to the rest of the thirty counties represented. This surprise expanded into gratifi- cations, and then to positive delight, and ever since our delegation has returned the feeling of satisfaction and surprise has grown. The News Tribune has contended for years that until this city and county quit sliding only on their own cellar door, they would be mis- understood and misjudged. No peo- ple and' no section can sit off by their lonesome, twiddle their thumbs and play solitaire and expect the rest of the world to judge them as sympathetic, public spirited, unsel- fish and fair-minded. That St. Louis county has played the role of the bound boy at the husking bee, has been its own fault. It consented to be cast in that |character, or, indeed, adopted it. 75! Then it felt illused and imposed upon. It never offered to join in the general festivities, never got into the game with the rest, and so pever found the coveted red ear that entitled it to kiss and be kissed, It learned at Bemidji how easy it is to be one of the crowd, to be wel- come, to get the glad hand and to make and be friends. It learned that there was no prejudice against it, save what it had made almost inevit- able, and that it had but to goout and be of the people to be accepted for what it really is, a big brother in one great family. On the other hand, the rest of the thirty counties found that this county is, in fact, a mighty good fellow. That it is as much interested in agricultural development, in good roads, in farm settlement, in farm market and every subject vital to this northern section, as is the Red River valley or the boundary counties. It knows a hog and how to raise them, but isn’t one. It was there to boost, not to grab; to co-operate, not to pose or dominate; to play the game as one of the team, not to try to be the manager and swipe the gate receipts; to do its part or more, if it could, and not try to be “the whole thing;” to work in the ranks, without asking even a corporal’s commission, It found a most cordial welcome, and came home tickled with itself and charmed with its - newmade friends. In fact, it had found itself and hopes it was in turn found by the rest of the bunch. It proposes now to keep right in the game in this same role of booster, not asker, and just so long as it does, it will grow in grace and in favor.—News Tribune. | By THE wayv!| Advertising long absent is soon forgotten. Love your neighbor as yourself, but love his money more. In advertising, it isn’t so much the space you fill as how you fill it. A snake eater is a man like the rest of us.

ALL PRICE RECORDS BROKEN Hogs at South St. Paul Bring $10.10 Per Hundred. St. Paul, March 1.—All records in hog prices were broken at South St. Paul when a small lot of eight hogs, averaging 315 pounds, were sold by Fitch & Co. to a city butcher at $10.10 a hundred pounds. The highest price at which hogs sold last week was $9.40 and the market closed last week at $9.35 a hundred. The eight hogs were sold for G. W. Wilkinson of Cot- tage Grove, Minn. A load of fifty-nine hogs, averaging 267 pounds apiece, were sold to Ar- mour & Co. by Percy Vittum & Co.,, at $9.66 a hundred.

St. Louis, March 1.—The high price he was forced to pay for his meat, to- gether with the loss of trade through Lent, caused Alexander Bindebeutel, a butcher, to kill himself. His body was found in the ice box of his shop. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY lea LA"XrA'mE BRO%On nflh&e’ Tabl mone o w.
