Don’t get the idea that you know all there is to be known about securing publicity for your particular busi- ness. Its dollars to doughnuts that somewhere there is a man in your line of business who is “‘skinning you a city block,” to use a slang express- ion. If you locate him study his methods, take the newspaper or newspapers which carry his ads and then see if there are not some possi- bilitities you have been overlooking. You need to give thought to this matter of publicity for it can be made one of the important features of your business. Think it over. THE FARMER AND THE EDITOR. Agricultural students advised to co-operate with local papers. “The country newspaper is the greatest agency for the bettermentof your community, and it will be progessive or backward in the degree that you support it” is what L. J. Boughner, city editor cf the Minneapolis Tri- bune, told 400 students at the state agricultural school yesterday. “‘When you go back to the farm, look up the editor of your local newspaper,” he urged, “and make a friend of him. The editor of your local news- paper will help you in everything you undertake for the up-building of your locality. You need his co-opera- tion and he needs yours.”—Minne- apolis Tribune. IN GOOD HANDS. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association is in good hands, The man who conceived the idea, and galvanized the idea into life and made such an extraordinary success of the meeting at Bemidji, is still at the helm and is just as busy asever. He is sending out a re. minder of the Bemidji meeting every few days, now the constitution and notice of organization of the asso- ciation, now the platform adopted by the association, now a clipping of press comments on the meeting etc., etc. Northern Minnesota is awake and it is evident that Secretary Mac- kenzie does not intend that it shall go to sleep again.—Hibbing Tribune. Nothing pleases a-girl more than to receive an order from the boss to give another man orders. A “labor saving machine” is often merely a contraption to get two day’s work out of one man. If you nourish grudges they will soon grow enough to own you. The woman who does not desire to boss is always anxious to be con- sulted. It is not a sign of selfishness to be reasonably good to yourself. COLLAPSE OF WALL BURIES WORKMEN Five Are Killed and Seven Ea- ally Injured. Pittsburg, March 11.—Five men were killed and seven more were probably fatally injured by the col- lapse of a brick wall left standing in the ruins of the fire which Tuesday morning partly destroyed the manu- facturing plant of M. Lanz & Sons. Twenty workmen, mostly foreigners, who were at work razing the ruinms, were buried under the wall. Without warning the wall, which was over 100 feet long and fully fifty feet high, buckled and crashed to the ground. Five workmen caught on a temporary scaffolding on the third floor jumped to safety with slight in- juries. Two others were rescued badly bruised from a perilous position astride another swaying wall by the police. An hour after the accident two workmen were found alive, but crushed in a crevice between timbers and brick piles. Not one of the score of workmen escaped injury. CAR BUMPS CZAR'S CARRIAGE Incident Resuits in Arrest of Street Railway Officials. St. Petersburg, March 11.—A num- ber of the officials of the St. Peters- burg street railway were placed un- der arrest in an effort to fix the re- sponsibility for one of the company’s trolley cars bumping against the im- perial carriage in which the czar was driving to the dowager’s palace. The incident is believed to have been wholly accidental, but the au- thorities cannot let the endangering of the “sacred person” of the czar go unnoticed. The fender of the car grazed the rear wheels of the emper- or’s carriage. A difference of a foot would have meant the demolition of the vehicle. Foreign Companies Liable to Tax. ‘Washington, March 11.—Attorney General Wickersham has rendered an opinion on the corporation tax in which he held that foreign steamship companies are liable to the tax in proportion to the amount of their cap- ital invested in steamship lines touch- ing American ports. THROW OUT THE LINE Give Them Help and Many Bemidji People Will Be Happier. ““Throw Out the Life Line”— The kidneys need help. They’re overworked—can’t get the poison filtered out of the blood. They're getting worse every minute, Will you help them? Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought thousands of kidney sufferers back from the verge of despair. Will cure any form of kidney trouble, S. Collard, 1007 American street, Bemidji, Minn., says: “For some time I had suffered from pains in the small of my back and a rheumatic stiffness in my joints. At times I was so lame and my back so sore that I was scarcely able to do my work, A tired, languid feeling was with me constantly and headaches bothered me a great deal. I tried a great many remedies, but did not receive any relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store and from my experience I can recommend them highly to other sufferers from kid- ney trouble.” For sale by all dealers.

OPEN SHOP MEN GO OUT Leaders Encouraged by Their Efforts to Close Down Industrial Plants Em- ploying Unorganized Workers—Com- mittee Gives Out Figures to Sustain Claim That Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Are Idle. Philadelphia, March 11.—Encour- aged by the success which has met their efforts at breaking Into the ranks of unorganized labor and persuading several thousand workers in this city to join the general strike movement union labor leaders continued the campaign to swell the army of sympa- thizing strikers. Baldwin’s locomotive works, where 2,000 men quit and which was considered almost impregnable against the attacks of unionism, was again the object of much attention, the labor leaders hoping to add to the ranks of idle men before the close of the day. Success in penetrating Baldwin’s works is likely to lead to moves against other large industrial plants that are considered ‘“open shop” Dplaces. . The Central Labor union committee of ten, which is conducting the general strike, has given out figures to sup- port the assertion that between 125,- 000 and 150,000 persons are idle. The exact total number of men, women, boys and girls on strike as figured by the committee is 139,571. The above figures are disputed by the city authorities and large employ- ers. Officials of Baldwin’s locomotive works declare that only one-third of the number of men the union asserts are on strike quit work. Aided by recruits obtained from many other cities the transit company operated more cars than on any day since the strike was declared. The few attacks made on the new crews were not serious and were confined to the outlying sections of the city ‘where nearly all disturbances since the strike began have occurfed. SILK TRAINS ARE GUARDED Company Fears Robbers May Loot Cars Stuck in Drifts. Wallace, Ida., March 11.—Fearful that valuable silk trains stalled on the St. Paul line in Shoshone county are in danger of being robbed officials of the company have sent armed men from Montana to guard the trains un- til they are taken from the great drifts that surround them. Two silk trains are in the drifts west of Taft tunnel, near Saltese, and the train crews have left them. According to reports received here all that can be seen of one of the trains is the smokestack and the tops of the cars. The value of each train is in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. AMERICAN PARTY FIRED ON Afghans Wound Two Women Tourists Near Jerusalem. Washington, March 11.—American parties visiting the mosque of Omar, near Jerusalem, have been fired on by Afghan fanatics. Miss Mathilda Mau- rice of Mamaroneck, L. I, received a slight flesh wound and Miss Parker of Terre Haute, Ind., was seriously wounded, but will recover. This in- formation came to the state depart- ment in an undated telegram from United States Consul Wallace at Jerusalem. The officials express no doubt that the Turkish authorities will take prompt steps to punish the assailants. KEPT BUSY DODGING SLIDES Coroner’s Jury Investigates Rogers Pass Avalanche. Revelstoke, B. C., March 11.—After dodging a snowslide, which barely missed them, the coroner’s jury which has been investigating the disastrous avalanche at Rogers Pass returned here. The jurymen had a lively time keeping out of the way of slides. Their inquiry developed little that throws new light on the catastrophe, but many pathetic features were brought out. One of the bodies recovered, that of Foreman MacDonald, showed no marks or bruises and he evidently died from suffocation. ‘Tom Johnson for Legislature. Cleveland, March 11.—Former May- or Tom L. Johnson, defeated for the ‘mayoralty last fall, has let it be known to his followers in the Democratic par- ty that he would like to go to the leg- islature next fall either as senator or as representative. He probably will be nominated in the May primaries. Mine Accident in Michigan. Calumet, Mich., March 11.—Two men are dead and one fatally injured a8 the result of a small cavein of rock at No. 8 shaft, South Hecla branch of the Calumet and Hecla Mining com: pany here. CUT OFF ON $100 A MONTH Knox, Jr.,, Punished for His Hasty Marriage. ‘Washington, March 11.—Philander C. Knox, Jr., it was learned here on good authority, has been cut off with an allowance of about $109 a- month which his mother will give him. N¢ member of the Knox family would make any statement in regard to the matter. When young Knox arrived here Tuesday to seek his father's par don for his hasty- marriage his bride and her mother remained at a local 2 oA A 2t Hotel WIth 66 expectation that (hey would be recelved with open orms by the young man's parents.

At the present time practically every article exported by the United States to France is subjected by that country to the maxitnum tariff.

The number of diseases peculiar to women is such that we believe this space would hardly contain a mere mention of their names, and it is a fact that most of these diseases are of a catarrhal nature. A wo- man cannot be well if there is a trace of catarrh in her system. Some women think there is no help for them. We positively de- clare this tobe a mistaken idea. We are so 'sure of ‘this that we offer to supply -medicine absolutely free of all cost in every instance where it fails to give satisfaction, or does not substantiate our claims. With this understanding, no woman should hesitate to believe our hon- esty of purpose, or hesitate to put our claims to a test. There is only one way to over- come catarrh, That way is through the blood. You may use all the snuffs, douches or like remedies for years without. getting- more than temporary relief at best. Catarrh in general is a diseased condition of the system that shows locally most frequently in discharges from mucous membranes. Local treat- ment should be assisted by internal treatment for the general diseased condition if a complete cure is to bereached. Thatinternal treatment should be scientifically devised and faithfully administered. Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically prepared from the prescription of an eminent physician who for thirty years made catarrh his specialty. This remedy is admirably adapted to the treatment of the catarrhal ailments of women. It purifies and enriches the blood, tends to stop mucous discharges, aids in removing impurities from the system, soothes, heals and strengthens the mucous tissues, and brings about a feeling of health and strength. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone on our guarantee. If you are not benefitted, or for any reason not satisfied, simply tell us and we will band back your money. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents ‘and $1.00. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Be- midji only at our store,—The Rexall Store. - Barker's Drug Store. SAYS BONDS ARE NOT NECESSARY Garfield Opposes Proposed Issue for Irrigation, ON STAND AT INQUIRY Declares It Is Evident That President Taft and Attorney General Wicker- sham Did Not Have the Proper Facts Before Them When They Made the Recommendation—Defends His Ac- tions as Secretary of the Interior. ‘Washington, March 11.—The testi- mony of James R. Garfield, former sec- retary of the interior, before the Bal linger-Pinchot investigation committee was enlivened by the declaration of the witness that he did not believe {the $30,000,000 bond issue, recom- mended by President Taft to congress, ‘was necessary for the proper forward- ing of irrigation work in the West. Mr. Garfield said this in defense of the co- operative agreements he entered into with water users’ associations and of the reclamation certificates which he issued in evidence of work performed and which have come to be known as “Garfield currency.” Mr. Garfield declared that it was evident Attorney General Wickersham and President Taft did not have the proper facts before them when' they reached opinions adverse to the legali- ty of the reclamation certificates. The witness implied that Mr. Ballinger might have been responsible in this connection, but he did not make an outright statement to that effect. The former secretary took issue with Mr. Ballinger as to certain statements made by the latter in his reply to President Taft regarding the various charges made against him. Mr. Gar- field said he could not recall any con- ference with Mr. Ballinger regarding the Cunningham coal claims, although Mr. Ballingér said he had immediately conferred with Mr. Garfleld after the receipt of Glavis’ protest against the clear listing of the Alaska claims. Mr. Garfield admitted that in urging general coal legislation by congress early in 1908 he had made the state- ment that he was willing to condone fraudulent entries in Alaska provided the entrymen were compelled to pay an increased price for the land to the government.
