During the hot days people are either fighting flies or swimming, which fact renders it almost un- necessary to advise them not to breathe through their mouths. The West St. Paul editor wrote the platform of the last Republican convention. That’s the real reason why it begins and ends with a straddle. Editors have their uses. St. Paul Reveiw. Fred Harding has just been made editor and manager of the Star Ob- server of Hulson, Wisconsin. Hard- ing’s first newspaper work was done on the Minnesota Daily, the student daily at the state University. After becoming an associate on the Daily, Harding and some friends establish- ed the Minne-Ha-Ha, a “Funny Mag.” After leaving the University, Harding went toa dailyin Iowa as city editor. He said that he want- ed experince. Well,he got it one day. It happened that there was a con- vention of school teachers in the city and Harding went to cover it. While on the way, he conceived the bril- liant idea of writing up the conven- tion as a track meet. ‘The next edition of the paper came out with a big story on the “fine form” the teachers were show- ing and saying that all of them were in “excellent condition.” There was more of a like kind. About an hour after the vaper was on the street, the ladies landed in Harding’s office.Then he had his experience. The postal savings bank bill has been passed by the House by a unanimous vote of the Republic- ans and twenty-two Democrats, and it is understood that the Senate will.accept the bill as passed by the House without further delay. The credit for the passage of the bill is due the progressives, who have stood out for what they know the people wanted, Under the termsof the bill 5 board of trustees is created, consist- ing of the postmaster general, the secretary of the treasury, and the attorney general, who shall declare what postoffices shall become post- alsaving banks. Deposits in thesé banks made by any one: person shall not be more than $ro0a month nor exceed a total of $500. An account may be-opened with $1, but stamps of 10 cents each will be issued for those desiring to accumulate money to be deposited. On deposits, 2 per cents interest a year is to be paid. Any depositor so desiring can change his deposits for government bonds to be issued in denominations of $20, $40, $60, $80, $100 or $500, to bear interest at 24 per cent a year. The money accumulated in the postal savings banks is to be deposited in both national and state banks in the vicinity of the ‘postoffices in which the money is deposited by the'people, such banks to pay 2% per cent interest. Five per cent of the total deposits is- to be re- tained by the secretary of 'the treasury as a cash reserve. Not more than 30 per cent of these deposits may be withdrawn by the government at any time for invest- ment in bonds of the United States, .the remaining 65 per cent to remain on deposit in the banks.—The Roseau Region. ROOSEVELT'S GREATEST GIFT. Mr. Roosevelt may not know it, but he has genius, and it is this: More than any other man of his time he possesses by intuition a knowledge of how to reach the people; how to impress himself and that which he stands for upon the masses; how to throw a glamor over his name; how to so hypnotize the millions so that things which in others wouldjseem commonplace, in him reach in the popular esteem to the highest level of wisdom and patriotism, This is one of the most magical and rarest of gifts, Mr. Roosvelt has discovered that one of the great- est of the arts developed during the recent century—advertising— can be applied to public life as well as to commercial activities. If chance or design had not made of him a statesman and president, a leader of a party and the chosen one of a great people, it is certain be could have made his everlast- ing fortune as an advertiser of some article of universal use.— Walter Wellman in the July Metropolitan Magazine. [ BY THE WAY | Every man imagines that he gets more than his share of work. An injured look . is the best reply. to any accusation. Even alie won'’t go straight unless there is some truth. in the powder behind it. Men are judged by the company they keep—are you in gond com- pany? Waterproof Coats of Grass. In the troplcs of Mexlco, where torrential rains fall & part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man’s apparel. Owing to the Intense heat which prevalls in the summer season the- ordinary rubber raincoat cannot be worn. A rainproof coat Is made from natlve grasses and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses: are woven close together, and it is impos- sible for the rain to beat through them, no matter how hard the storm may be. Some of these coats are made with a hood which protects the head as well as the body. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

Several days later the branch house notified ]m him that it had not received the pack- age and Ford notified the authorities.

The rest have not been found. He denied having attempted to sell the securities and declared he did not know they were valuable, Federal officials expressed the belief that the securities were sfolen after they reached the postoffice and a rigid investigation is being made.

Chicago, June 27.—A decision’ to construet the proposed $25,000,000 Chi- cago station of the Pennsylvania rail- road has been reached by the manage- “l‘u tember. One of the principals to the famous controversy will be. on hand. in St. Paul, while ten miles up river there will assemble the men who are passing upom: the merits of the row that has kicked up a great deal of trouble for the Taft administration. It was decided at a session held here that the committee should-assemble in Minneapolis. Owing: to the pressure of other business the committee has found it impossible to complete the re- port that is to be made to congress in time for filing at this session. As there was a. general desire that the results of the committee’s labors should be given to the public in ad- vance of the elections it was decided that a meeting should be held in some Western city at a time most conven- ient for all those concerned.

New York, June 27.—“I have just had daddy onthe phone, and he said, ‘Whatever you do, my girl, is all right’” declared Mrs. Harry Kermit Vingut, Mayor Gaynor’s second daugh- ter, at the Hotel Plaza.

Choose Central Meeting Place. It was at first suggested that the committee assemble in Chicago. A discussion of the matter developed that Minneapolis will be more general- ly favored, and especially as. it was believed that the climatic conditions there would be more conducive to comfort than Chicago. At the meeting the committee de- clded that it needed no additional au- thority to make up its report just as soon as it is ready. Some days ago Senator Nelson said some of his as- societies were of the opinion that the committee had no authority to glve publicity to the report until it was filed with congress. - After a dis. cussion of the question the committee concluded that it had the power to publish its- report at its own conven- a Few Days. ience and in its own way. ) The chances are that every member | OYSter Bay, N.
