That may be, but the Democratic party insists'on wearing hers upside down.—Cincinnati Com- mercial Tribune. The proof of the matter is, the Democratic party has not a single issue with whichto go before the people during the coming campaign, while the republicans have several issues upon each and every one of which they can take an aggressive stand and appeal to the people with the greatest hope and confidence Every newspaper in the country has had a similar experience, related by the Hartford Courant: Some years since a well-known Hartford citizen, since deceased, called at the editorial rooms of the Courant one morning hot with indignation. He was thoroughly angry at the appear- ance of a paragraph in the city news of that day concerning the sale of his business. He declared that it had no foundation, was without a word of truth, a lie from beginning to end. And “that’s not the worst of it,” he said, “for it'sa gross vio- lation .of confidence. Only three men know of the deal any way, and it will be easy for me to find out which of them has told your reporter. The action of the Republican State convention of Minnesota was on the same lines and dominated by the same spirit as the recent Repub- lican convention of Wisconsin. Its indorsement of the President was not only strong and unequivocal, it was enthusiastic. This was, in fact, the keynote of the convention. The attempt to weaken this indorse- ment by indirection was overwhelm- ingly defeated. It is reassuring to hear this clari- on note of loyalty from our sister State, It is all the more gratify- cause it is in exact accord. with the declaration promulgated by the great auditorium convention of June 8. It is, moreover, a significant indi- cation that the attempt to discredit the President and misrepresent his attitude, meets with no response ftom the rank and file of the Re- publican party.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Beginning Monday evening, the Pioneer will offer to its readersa service which will approximate that given the large city dailes by the government weather observers.Read- ings of the standard thermometer owned by E. N. French & Co. will be taken each hour from 7 a. m. to 3 p. m. and will be published the same day. At 3 p. m, the barometer will also be read and the two taken together will make a fairly accurate forecast of the weather for the next twenty-four hours. The thermometer is fastened near the door of the City drug store, where it is in the shade all day and may be read at any time. - A special contrivance shows the maximum and the minimum for the day and night. Thesereadings will also be published. Both the thermometer and barometer are standard instru- ments and have been carefully tested to verify their accuracy. An effort will be made next week to have the government place a ‘sub- observatory in Bemidji. Ifit will do this, the Pioneer will be able to give the farmers in this vicinity and accurate forecast of coming weather. How Fast Does Corn Grow? We often hear this question ask- ed but have never been able to give a satisfactory result. Here are a few figures that were handed us by a farmer who liveseast of town, July 8th at one o’clock he commenced to measure the growth of a stalk of corn and took measurments at given hours for one week, He found that from Jnly 8th atone o’clock until July 15 at the same hour the corn had made a growth of 37 inches, oran average of a little over 5% inches a day. For the first thirty hours of the time the corn’s growth was 8% inches. The longest growth for one day was 6 inches and rhe shortest growth for one day was 434 inches. During the time the measurements were taken the weather was hot,as a conseqeuence the growth was rapid and even.—Elgin Echo. l BY THE WAY l Because you have a rasping voice isno reason for raising it unneces- sarily in public.

L. PERKINS HANDLED DEAL Proposed Increase One Discussed With Chicago - Shippers by Member of Banking House of J. P, Morgan & Co.—New Tariff Rates an Advance of Five Cents a ‘Hundred Pounds on Cattle and Dressed Beef. Washington, July 16—The inter- state commerce commission has an- nounced that the recently filed tariffs making advances in the freight rates on cattle and dressed beef between Chicago and New York had not been suspended. The matter arose through an in- quiry from an independent New York business house as to -the proposed rates.. The new tariff fixes the rates on cattle at 33 cents a hundred pounds and on dressed beef at 50 cents a hun- dred between Chicago and New York. The present rates are 28 cents on cat- tle and 45 cents on dressed beef. The proposed increases will become effec- tive on Aug. 1. mission wired the New York firm as follows: “Tariff on cattle and dressed beef between Chicago and New York, fix- ing rates of 33 and 50 cents, respec- tively, from and after Aug. 1, 1910, has not been suspended.” This was one of the advances which George W. Perkins of the banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. discussed with the Chicago shippers with a view to obtaining their con- sent to its becoming effective. ‘What the result of Mr. Perkins’ ne- gotiations were was mnot disclosed definitely at the time. When the stomach fails to per- form its functions, the bowels become deranged, the liver and the kidneys congested causing numerousdiseases. The stomach and liver must be re- stored to a healthy condition and Chamberlain’s’ Stomach and Liver Tablets can be depended upon to do it. Easy to take and most effective. Sold by Barkers’ Drug Co.
