When a girl enters the business world she must be grateful for. ‘cour- tesy from men, but she is in no position to demand it. considered necessary fora man ‘to remove his hat in an office because there is 2 woman: there, or in a pub- lic elevator. There are men who pay attention to these conventions, It is not but they are growing fewer every day. A business woman must accept the ways of business or atay at home.—The Delineator. It is.going to be a case of fish ‘or cut bait-with a lot of the ‘aspiring candidates. - The “number of the aspirants for office does not decrease any as the time goes along and it is probable that one or two more may enter the race before the: final count. It is going to be:a:grand mix-up no matter which way you look at it. ‘WHO SHOULD 60?7 Duluth: and the- range cities will be well ‘represented at Crookston; there is no longer any question as to that. - But in this reprcscntation there should be included one of the principals::from ‘each of the local wholesale and jobbing houses. These firms owe that much to their own business. They owe that much, also, to Duluth, but above all, they owe it to the people of the thirty counties, who center their hopes in that meet- ing. Duluth’s wholesale and jobbing interests solicit- the -trade of--these people. “ These counties are their trade territory. They have a pecular interest in their prosperity. Moreover, its delegation will meet there hundreds of just the men i needs to know; it will get im:touch with just the elements it most needs to meet; it will make lasting friend- ship and create a..mutually friendly understanding. Every man there will be worth- the - knowing. They will all be big,- broad-minded, -able, genial men, the best on ‘earth,” and so0 just Duluth’s sort. ‘The ‘St.;Louis ' county ' .delegation will meet there the representatives of 400,000 others of their fellow citizens, the very cream of the popu- lation: of this state, imbued with the northern spirit, men of ‘enthusiasm and energy, who have the habit of doing things. It will feel at home, and will at once fraternize and find many new as well as old friends. It is, therefore, up to them to be at Crookston to meet the ‘delegates from this territory, to find in “what ways they can help them, and:how they can get into the game to boost Northern Minnesota. Buluth wants nothing at this meeting save what every other community in this sec- tion wants. It has no favors to ask, no con- sideration to crave. ~But it is vitally interested in every subject that will be considered there, and can prob- ably do more to help them to suc- cess than any other single commun- ity, and in helping them, it helps itself. ¢ Every one who goes from this county will find it a delightful trip, a most enjoyable outing, and no matter what the inducement for their going, they will, n Mr. Mc- Gonagie said, quickly “enter ln!o the spirit of the meeting and enjoy every minute of it.”—Dututh News Tribune. i) BY THE WAY ‘About twa-thirds of ' life is nearly a bluff.
