The crop reporting board of the department sf agriculture estimates that on August 1 the wheat in the Northwestern States would be two thirds of a crop. As the ten year average in Minnesota is 83 per cent, the yield in this state, accord- ing to government figures, is about three-fourths of what the farmers ordinarily harvest, Itis more than probable that the showing will be even better than the gcvernment's estimators concede. But suppose they have estimated accurately, the showing is not of the sort to cause worry or business depress- ion. For one thing, wheat is not theonly crop in Minnesota and the Northwest. The farmers have other resources, and would not be crippled by a failur "\ the wheat fields. / If the avera ~ other farm opera*’ the governp e farmr k ar £ A a ovident off their _d their farms shape to stand < few who have not «elves for a poor year important factor in the _ndustry of the state. Some <m would profit by the experi- «ce of this season. And those who have been on Minnesota farms during recent years, who are not prepared for a crop shortage, and do not learn the importance of being fortified, are not worth bothering about.—Pioneer Press. BY THE!IR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. When demoralization threatened the ranks of the republican members of the lower house of the national congress at its Jast session, one man, at least weathered the storm without sacrificing his manhood, the interests of his constituents which to the best of his ability he repersents or loyalty to his party, and yet, who, at times courted adverse, but: undeserved, criticism by an independent stand at various crucial moments. Halvor Steenerson is entitled, be- " cause of his record at Washington, to. ask the voters of the Ninth . congressional district to return him to the seat which he has filled with DEFECTIVE PAGE honor. His usefulness is not limited to the confines of our our own dis- trict. His work shows him to be of the bigger, broader kind of men— the men who keep alive the glory of the republican party. And it is just because of this bigness that his own district profits most. As a commanding figure he is better able to get what he goes after, and the many public appropriations which has rewarded his intelligent and indefatigable efforts stand as impressive memorials to his work as a representative of the people, but after all they are only the miner accomplishments of the gentleman from Crookston. It is on such men as Representa- tive Steenerson that the future of the republican party depends. He can not be accused of not being a party man, and yet he does not blindly follow a leader and is big enough and brave enough and patriot enough to stand out and vote as his conscience dictates, and no higher tribute could be paid a public ser- vant, These are some of the reasons why he is a welcome visitor at the White House and if President Taft, with his trained and discerning in- tellect, depends upon the counsel of such a man, isn’t it reasonable to pre- sume that the voters of this district are furthering their own interests, and the interests of the country in general, by retaining him in his present powerful position? THE BRAINERD CONFERENCE. Valuable and important as were the Bemidji and Crookston con- ferences of the Northern Minne- sota Development assoociation, the December conference at Brainerd should be more valuable and import- ant still. Bemidji was for organiz- ation, Crookston was for plan-mak- ing, and Brainerd must be for action if anything is to come out of the force created by the organization of this association. The Brainerd meeting will be held just before the legislature meets. By that time the election will have been held and the legislature select- ed. Whether re-apportionment is to come at this session, whether ar- rangements are to be made by which state lands shall pay their fair share of the cost of building roads and schools so that settlement may be possible, and whether the other de- mands of northern Minnesota are to be met, will depend to a very large degree upon the interest and deter- mination shown at the Brainerd meeting. But this work of storming the state legislature will take more than interest and determination, though these are indispensable. It will take money. Not a great deal of money, but some. The or- ganization itself requires money for its maintenance if it is to do any good. Secretary Mackenzie, to whom more than to any other man is due the creation of the association, has kept it going largely through his own contributions, but he should not be asked to do most of the work and provide most of the money. The officers of the association “a\ve decided that $3,000 must be “ed for the necessary expenses of pciation and for such expenses 47 be involved in the campaign .fore the legislature, It is a modest sum, and every cent of it should be provided. It may be taken for granted that St. Louis county will do its share—maybe siderably more than its share, be- cause it is the best able to pay—not only in money but in effort. But there are thirty-one counties in the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association, -and everyone of them should contribute somethtng. Only by so doing can they.claim a share in the glory and profit of the campaign. Only by so doing can they hold lheir places in the sister- hood of counties that is working for the common good. ! That $3,000 ought all to be in the bands of the treasurer of the associa- tion long before the Brainerd confer- ence takes place—Duluth Herald.

When a healthy man or woman be- gins to run down without apparent cause, becomes weak, languid, de- pressed, suffers backache, headache, dizzy spells and urinary disorders, look to the kidneys for the cause of itall. Keep the kidneys well and they will keep you well. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and keep them well. Here is Bemidji testimony to prove it. P. M. Dicaire, of Bemidji, Minn., says: 'Overlifting was the cause of kidney complaint in my case. My back was lame and painful and ached so severely at night that I could not sleep well. I had head- aches and dizzy spells and wheun ever I stooped, my sight became blurred. A short time ago I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and they greatly benefiied me.
