SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YFAR ¥ SDVANGE — e 1t a man-doesn’t know when he is well off the chances are he isn’t. | The greatest reputation a man can require. is that of being truthful though he be married. If a man does not want to be thought peculiar, he should keep most of his. opinions to himself. l The discovery that. thoughts can be thrown on a canvass will be a great thing for girls with bashful lovers. The fact that certain California Indians burned up $4000 as a sacrifice does make the idea original with them. Other people burn money. A man will pay fifty centsfor a twenty-five cent article he needs, while a woman buys a fifty cent thing she does not need because it is marked down to a quarter. In_ Europe it is no uncommon occurance for an air ship to land in a ‘tree top. - Bemidji relates of an experience of dropping into a tree while riding in an automobile. The Americans can always go the Europe- :-ans. one better when it comes to thrillers, Cities in this county that adver- tised for volunteer fire fighters and failed to getany response, but who were flooded with replies when pay was guaranteed them ought to rid themselves of the loafers. Some specialist ought to discover a treat- ment that will cure laziness. No man need put his ear to the ground to learn where our honor- able governor is at. Even the democrats conceed that Governor Eberhart is moving in the straight and narrow path to .a second term in the excutive chair. His action in the fire situation is most commendable and will be long remembered by the citizens of the state. The immigration into Texas has been at the rate of 200,000 a year, for several years past, according to a Southern authority. There is' no doubt.about the rapid growth of the state, and one of its interesting feat- ures is the large element from the West and Northwest that is being in- jected into the population. Wil this element make Texas less Southern in tone? Bradstreets reports 235 - failures in the United States during the past week, against 222 for the previous week and 201,236,167, and 138 for the - corresponding weeks of 1909 to 1906. The middle states had 71; New England, 31;.southern 49; western 47; northwestern, 3; far west, 34, and .- territories, 0. Canada had 35, .against 26 for the preceding week. About 87 per cent of the total number of concerns failing had a capital of $5,000 or less and 8 per cent: had from $5,000 to $20,000 capital. Coming from a paper published in our sister state, Wisconsin,the follow- ing sounds too good to be. real. Would that we thought . as -well of ourselves as:others do; palatable, however. .Habithassome- thing to do with an appreciation of its flavor. Most Americans are not 80 poor yet as to have to eat hovse flesh. They areudisposed to thank God for it, not knowing that but:for habit -and prejudice it would suit them quite as well as beef, except that horses are- used- for-food -after they have become worn out by work, while beef cattle are raised.solely.for food. As the automobile displaces horses—if anticipation is realized— and as the cost of supporting auto: mobiles makes everybody poor—as is.also antisipated—we:'may be glad ta get horse flesh to eat and may find it nourishing “and- likable. ‘* The French . taste_is not- so different from ours—better or worse—as to warrant us in saying that :what: the French like is not good enough for TRADE ° LOYALITY. No word appeals more strongly to the average person than loyalty. We all love ‘to be-spoken of asiloyal to family, friends, country andto our ideals. We should also include our home city. There is no doubt of our:'sincerity in this and we feel very much offend- ed- were it questioned;: ‘but ‘is'this loyalty always of the right sort; is it intelligent and active or is it times a sentimental and pleasing fancy -with which- we- delude our- selves? The happiness of the peopleof a city depends largely on. the pros- perity of the community.as a whole, and this prosperity depends in part upon the amount of money circulat- ing there. The more money the people send . . away . for things they can. buy from their own merchants, the poorer the communit‘y‘, will become and, conversely the|’ more they spend at home, the more the place will thrive. Do those who patronize distant mail order houses ever think of ‘the harm done? If all the good people in Boston, for instance; should ignore the local merchants and for one| - year buy all their supplies in Chicago, Buffalo and New York, there would be “For Sale” signs on the city hall, Young’s, the public library and the old North church. The same principle applies to all communities. Patronage of home merchants is the life of a city. These mail order houses by offering attractive (?) premiums with indifferent g ; have drawn from us large amounts of money which, if spent at home, would have helped to pay for school: paving, lighting and general civic 1 improvement. Outside business houses do not pay any part of iour city taxes. But “Business is Business,” ‘some say. Yes, business is more than that, it is reciprocity, and it should be ap- parent to everyone that business dealings with those who are working for the same local interests as our- selves will be far more productive of good, than tradiug with people”.who are far away, who buy nothing from us and whose only interest ‘in .our community is the amount of money’ they can get out of it. , Do you recall when times have been bard that these mail order houses ever extended you credit to help:you everthe hard places? ~ Will they? Not in a thousand years—its money down, or no goods. ~ The local mer- chants ‘are the ones to whom' we must then turn for assistance, but how can we do so with good grace or reason unless we support them i prosperous times? ; They are “alert, ‘intelligent and progressive, and, if given the op- Pportunity, will- sell -better- goods at the same, or lower prices, “‘than the mail order houses can or will Gophers-Are Thrifty. “Minnesota has handled its public lands so wisely that as a result it has accumulated from this source a permanent school fund of $21,000,- 000, and three funds of from $2,000,- 000 to.$3,000,000 . each for perma- nent university..purposes, :internal improvements: and »swamp land: re- clamation. “Mineral land leases will ultimately yield several hundred mil- tion dollars. Minnesota did not follow the national plan of selling its public land to the: first--comer: for $1.25 an-acre, but:held it till it was . worth several times that, and then sold the timber separate from :the :Jand and-retained possession of | the - minerals under the surface by lease.

Seattle, Wash., Oct. 13.—Writing to us. 2 friend here, M. L. Sullivan, who| —_— went~from Fairbanks to the Iditarod district last spring, tells of rich finds in the new gold fleld which have eclipsed even the Tanana strikes. One Fairbanks operator, at the time ithe letter was written, had washed out $72,000 withip a period of two weeks and-another was taking out $15,000 a week. 3 “The camp will produce $600,000 this season,” "the letter continues, “and “many. expect to reap $5,000,000 next spring.” According to other advices received here most of the good ground inithe Iditarod has now been taken. The food supply is said to be scarce and prices soaring.
