BACKBONE LIKE A SILK THREAD. Haven’t you, just lots and lots of times, heard & “prominent citizen” of a community, when discussing his public business affairs gravely cogitate something thusly: “Yes, I know, but we musta’t do anything that will hurt our town. ‘We mustn’t do that, you know. I know that things are pretty bad, but if we do anything it will give our town a bad name and people outside will get a wrong impression. We've got to be careful, you know. But I know there ought to be something done.” Ever hear that line of stuff? Course you have, just as we remarked, lots and lots of times. - © The citizen of any community who makes those kind of remarks is of just as much value to a progressive community as a straw hat is to an Eskimo. He is the fellow who knows away down deep in his gizzard that his public affairs are not being administered properly, yet he s vatraid of something.” Don’t know what it is—but afraid, just the same. One finds em everywhere. Any old time you meet a man of that calibre you can make a wager that he has a backbone like a silk thread. It hasn’t enough stiffening in it to grease a pancake griddle and do a good job. No, it hasn’t. And that’s just what is the matter with some communities. ‘What is there to be afraid of? Just as reasonable to believe that such a citizen would object to hav- ing his house cleaned for fear it would raise a little dust; object to using a whiskbroom for a similar reason; wouldn’t take a bath for fear he would emerge clean and wholesome and many more equally as lucid arguments— and just as profound. And it amuses us greatly whenever a citizen of the variety herein re- ferred to is handed a “package” not wrapped in pink paper nor tied with a pretty ribbon. NO CAUSE FOR STRIKE HERE. There seems to be absolutely no cause for fear the strike of the I W. W. will spread to the camps of the Crookston Lumber company as it is and has been the policy of this concern at all times to co-operate with its employes for their welfare, and the men are well satisfled with their work and conditions under which they labor. One of the noteworthy features of this company’s treatment of its men is their living conditions, great care being exercised in providing clean, sanitary housing and clean and wholesome food. The living quar- ters are equipped with steel construction, strictly sanitary and clean bed- ding. The food is all that could possibly be desired and the company makes every effort to safeguard the health of its employgs. Wages are paid promptly and the men are satisfied, and cause for any trouble is far remote. Well, the Carnival association toboggan is ready. We understand there are several citizens and taxpayers who have under serious consid- * eration putting another toboggan in operation sometime next month. Hear anything about it? From observations there are several married men in Befilidjl who are chicken-pecked without their wives knowing anything about it. - — CASKEY IS CHOSEN MANY ARE PRESENT HEAD OF RIFLE CLUB AT CLUB LUNCHEON Unusual interest was evidenced to- At a meeting of the Bemidji Rifle club held last evening at the city council chamber the following offi- cers were elected for the season of 1917: President—L. L. Caskey. Vice President—J. C. Cobb. Secretary—B. J. Randolph. Treasurer—Julius Miller. Executive Officer—H. J. Loud.

APPOINTMENTS MADE enthusiastic riflemen and will be a great help in stimulating practice during the coming season. The club has about 5,000 cart- ridges to use before July 1, when the requisition for the following year may be made. The club desires new members that will get out and shoot and any one desirous of joining may be en- rolled with no further formality than the payment of the initiation fee and yearly dues to any of the officers of the club. The entire cost of a year's shoot- ing, under expert coaching, with prospect of qualifying for decora- tioms, is $3. AID WILL BE GUEST. The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid so- ciety will be entertained in the church parlors tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock by the Fourth Division. All ladies are most cordially invited.

A RAW, SORE THROAT Eases Quickly When You Apply a Little Musterole And Musterole won’t blister like th dd—iashioned .mustard plaster. Jus: spread it on with your fingers. It pene- trates to the sore spot with a gentle tingle, loosens the congestion and draws out the soreness and pain. Musterole is a clean, white ointment made with oil of mustard. It is fine for quick relief for sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neu- ralgia, yeadache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds on the chest (it often prevents pneumonia). Nothing like Musterole for croupy chil- dren. - Keep it handv for instant use Miss Olive Whaley, who has been the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Whaley, during Christ- mas vacation, will return to Cass Lake Monday to resume her work as first grade teacher.
