GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Hello Central! We're going to have a new tele- phone system. And soon too. Work has already commencea. Bemidji people nave become discouraged over tae old system and were be- coming impatient. We prac- tically assured that before the new year begins all we have to do is to take down the receiver and say, hello. And when we get through we can forget to ring off. Under re- construction of the system the pre- sent service cannot be much im- proved, but when all the work is completed we are assured that our telephone worries will be at an end. Every effort is now being made by the company to hurry the work and are with this assurance Bemidji people ) will are asked to extend their patience a little longer. Cats For Wadena A stock company is being organ- ized in Wadena to establish a cat ranch, the plan being outlined as follows: “The object of this companly is to operate a large cat ranch. To start with, we collect 100,000 cats Each cat will average 12 kittens per year.| The skins run from 10 cents each for the white ones to 75 cents for the pure black. This will give us 120,000,000 skins for a year to sell on an average of 30 cents a piece, making our revenue about us 12,000,000 skins for a year to skin fifty cats per day for $2. It will take about 100 men to operate the ranch and therefore the net pro- fit will thus be about $9,800 per day We will feed the cats on rats and will start a rat ranch next door. The rats will multiply four times as fast as the cats, therefore if we start with one million rats, we will have four rats a day for each cat, which is plenty. Now then we will feed the rats on carcasses of the cats from which the skins have been taken, giving each rat a fourth of a cat. It will thus be seen that the busi- ness will be self sustaining and automatic all the way through. The cats will eat the rats and the rats will eat the cats and we will get the gkins.” The Battle Lake Review wants to know why Fergus Falls was passed up on a good thing like this and for his information it might be stated that this plan originated this exploited here years ago, a few forward Battle Lake men being let in on the ground floor. Since then promoters .who lack originality have been exploit- ing it in other parts of the country. —Fergus Falls Journal.

Best Cough Medicine for Children “I am very glad to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy” writes Mrs. Lida Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis. “I have used it for years both for my children and my- selt and it never fails to relieve and cure a cough or cold. No family with children should be without it as it gives almost immediate relief in cases of croup.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is pleasant and safe to take, which is a great importance when a| * medicine must be given to young|, children, For sale by Barker’s Drug Store.—Adv. 3 i AMERICAN “Learn One Thing Every Day.” NO. 5.

Automobile Owners The shop of the Northern Automobile Co., has been taken over by myself and I wish to announce that I intend to give Bemidji auteists an up-to-date service that will not be surpassed by anything in the state. I have with me trained automobile mechan- ics, who received their training in large shops in the cities and every bit of work will be inspected by my- self. Am going to bring the customers cost to the very lowest point. Labor will be reduced and will be from 40cto 60c per hour,depending on the class of labor This can only be done by the cash system. Ouronly set of books will be a cash register., all bills to be paid as soon as work is ‘completed.
