Eatorsd n the Poatoftice at Bemid]l; Minnesols, as second clase malter, SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE _— ‘The thirty counties of the North- ern Minnesota Development associa- tion are capable of yielding $750, 000,000 in agricultural products each year, Developed to its utmost potentialities, the soil of northern Minnesota is capable of producing wealth each year that staggers the imagination. The meaning of the northern Minnesota Development association, of the Bemidji conference and of the Crookston convention, is that north- ern Minnesota has awakened from a long sleep, and demands that these potentialities of wealth shall be realized. All that it can do without aid northern Minnesota will do; but the state must do its part. The state is the landlord in northern Minne- sota, and the least progressive. It must provide means of developing its own lands, of draining the swamps, of building roads and schools for settlers. It must cease permitting the vast inert bulk of its possessions to lie across the threshhold of development like sentinels barring the way. To the end that these develop- ments may come about and that northern Minnesota may have a clear field and no favor in its task of self-development, northern Minneso- ta asks the legislature to study the situation with a broad view to the good of the state and all its people. It asks, primarily, that it may have its due share in the councils of the state, and that the Minnesota legis- lature be reconstructed with a divi- sion of representation according to present population instead of accord- ing to population of thriteen years ago, before northern Minnesota had even begun to grow. That, in brief, is the meaning of the Bemidji and Crookston con- ferences. It is the meaning of the conference to be held in Rrainerd in December, and it will be the meaning of the invasion of St. Paul, in January when the meets, by an organized movement in behalf of this program.—Duluth Herald. Doubtless many times the adver- tising man wonders why his care- fully and enthusiastically-worked- out plans fail to bring the desired legislature | results. He can not find a flaw in his calculations, still the expected sales do not materialize. There is something the matter, however, and that something is “inharmony” or “discord” between the policy of the house as implied by the advertising and the transacting of business on the part of the clerks. The motive thought for a week may be courtesy, or quality, or price, and so on down the gamutof neatness, accommodation, thoroughness, high degree of ‘‘money’s worth” ect. When the store announcements and literature fairly vibrate with the sentiment that accommodation and courtesy arg most willingly extended, the clerks may be grumpy and de- cidedly unaccommodating and dis- courteous. There may be a most stultifying criss-cross of purposes that, set aright, would tell most wonderfully in favor of the store. Customers meeting with treatment quite anthetical to what they could reasonably expect, go elsewhere to trade. They are dissapointed. There isa check and a remedy for such a condition. If not con- venient or advisable to hold periodic clerk meetings in which to outline and empahsize the various motive thoughts and teach the clerks how to act, why would it not be advis- able to establish a “clerks’ bulletin” upon which to post such data, couched in terms suited to bring a ready comprehension of the effect to be desired, as, for instance; “Our Keynote is accommodation courtesy. Be not unkink in the slightest to- ward any customer. Report to the manager any occasion for rebuke. Smile! Use your most winning language, and realize that you are not merely to hand out goods in exchange for money, but to try and influnce people to want to come here again and again for all their trading, and to send their triends here. Draw trade; do not repel it.” That, of course is merely a hint for a clerk’s bulletin. Itis not for the general public. Its use will curb many a hasty, thoughtless word on the part of the store’s representa- tives—the clerks. Suggestion, such as conveyed by this bulletin, is a wonderful thing, especially when it comes from authority, It will be doubly wonderful when it promotes barmony. Imagine doing -business with a store keyed up to splendid harmony and consistency, every clerk gracious and courteous, every department infused with the same policy as beaming from the store advertisements. The customers come expecting such treatment, are not disapointed, and will come again and again just as long as they are Everyone lot. DoYou Own Any Real Estate?

The Orange Judd Farmer present a compilation of American farm values which even outdoes Secretary: of Agriculture Wilson's eulogies in its enthusiarm, There are today 6,730,000 farms in the- United States. They are worth $29,730,000,000. Their annual productive value is $9,545, 000,000. These are figures that excite wonderment and awe. They demonstrate again the - truth of the oft proven contention that, in the final analysis, it is the American, farm which is the basis, for Am- erican prosperity; and the American farmer who is the principal capitalist in the production of the things that are necessarily worth while. Here are a few pertinent com- ments which the Orange 'Judd Farmer makes upon the showing of farm values which the publication presents: “Conditions have changed. Ameri- can agriculture must change with these conditions. Population is overtaking consumption. Even with this increase in quantity and value of farm productions, the United States exported during 1909 a smaller quantity of agricultural products than in 1900, though the value of such exports was $923,000,000 com- pared to $867,000,000 for 1900. “The farmer of the north central states must practice better farming, better conservation of soil and climatic resources, or its productive powers will decline and, therefore its farm values. The south central group, and the western states, should stop the land-skinning process which. north central farmers are now learn- ing to avoid.” Itch Relieved at Once.

Washington, June 9.—“Fine, excel- lent; I was greatly ‘pleased. The spirit of co-operation is growing and the people of the West are beginning to know and appreciate the forest serv- ice.” That is how Henry S. Graves, the new forester who succeeded Gifford Pinchot, expressed himself upon his return to Washington after eight weeks’ inspection of all the district offices in the forest service. It was Mr. Graves’ first glimpse of his new charge. “There are bound to be knocks here and there on the forest service,” said Mr. Graves, “but they’re the excep- tion and not the rule. The Western people and the service are beginning to understand one another better.” Eight Lame shoulder is almost invari- ably caused by rheumatism of the muscles and yields quickly to the free application of .Chamberlain’s Liniment.

CAUSE-OF--CHEERFULNESS 8uit Instituted by Government, Later Dropped as Result of White House Meeting, Alleged Conspiracy in Re- straint of Interstate Commerce and Caused All the Excitement in the Railway World. Washington, June 9.—Among sena- to the basis of the cheerful satisfac- tion displayed by railroad presidents over their agreement with President Taft regarding increased freight rates, “The railroad presidents are happy,” sald one senator who nhas studied the railroad” bill closely, “because . they have in all probability obtained what amounts to an amendment to the Sherman anti-trust law. They tried hard to get such a provision into the bill, in the section legalizing rate agreements, but the fire was so hot toat the sponsors_for the bill were obliged to eliminate .it. Neither the senategor the house would stand for such encroachment on the Sherman law. Now the railroads seem to havé won their greatest desire by negotia- tion. : “The government did not sue the railroads on the charge that they had raised rates. The charge was that they had violated the Sherman law by combining to raise rates and thus forming a conspiracy in restraint of interstate commerce. That was the cause of all the excitement in the railway world, not the prospect that their new rates would be held up for a while, "“Under the arrangement entered into, as it is generally understood, the increases. will be ‘subject to the ap- proval of the interstate commerce commission, but no question will be raised as to the legality of the action of the railroads in having a common agenit file rates uniformly increased by many lines with the interstate com- merce commission. It was in the matter of acting together, rather than the question of rates that the rail- roads were most interested and I miss my guess if they have not got under shelter.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is sold or a guarantee that if you are 'not satisfied after using two- llurds of a bottle according to directions, your money will be refunded.
