Why not use the Rockefeller foun- dation to crush the trust bug good and plenty? With an all-summer session im- pending the United States senate certainly needs a rubber, as well asa bath room. We are all willing to take off our hats to the woman who can cook cabbage in 368 different ways, with- out asking for specificatious. When you think you have finished cleaning your seed grain just put on a little more air and run it through again and you will then have just what you want, the heaviest and best seed. See if you cannot arrange your crops this season to grow nearly, if not all the feed your cows will eat. A good patch of mangles will prove a great help and the work of caring for them if done intelligently is very slight, The people in the cities are com- plaining of the high cost of living. Well it will be higher before it is chkeaper if there is not more inten- sive farming done in the near future or the rush to the growing cities ceases. A series of good articles on practical nursing is appearing in the Family Department of The Youth’s' Companion. They are not intended to the place of regular training. but to prepare the way to it, or enable those who do not mean to take up the profession to be better fitted for emergencies in the home circle. The Development meeting that was held at Benidji was an .eye- opener. It was a public expression of a feeling that has prevailed for years. Butit was more. It con- vinced us all that Northern Minne- sota contains an element in its citi- zenship whose motto is “forward.” They are boosters of the first order and they know what they are up against. They are thoroughly con- versant with conditions up here, have grown up in them, so to say, and they bave the determination that moves mountains.—Clearwater Crystal, Bagley. BY THE WAY No man ever-lacked opportunities to do something wrong. Life would loose half its charms for some people if they could not run in debt, Nothing excepta cork screw ex- ceeds a womans capacity for raising mischief, ‘Some folks order ‘their body cremated just to keep the devil from getting his dues. Your tongue is coated. Your breath is foul, Headaches come and go. These symptoms show that your stomach is the trouble. To re- move the cause is the first thing, and Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets will do that, Easy to take and most effective. Sold by Barker Drug Co.
