The nature of its business shall be ban. receiving deposits, buying, selling and discounting notes, bills and other evidences of debt, domestic and foreign, dealing in gold and silver bul- lion and foreign coins, issuing circula ing notes and loaning money on real es- tate and personal security; and the place ‘where the business of this cor- poration is to be carried on is Grace- ton, in Beltrami County, Minnesota. SECOND. @Qeneral offices in New York and Chicago, branches in all principal Citles. VERY SIMPLE OPERATION Said corporation_shall commence on the 22nd day of January A. D. 1917, and shall continue for the period of thirty years. THIRD. The names and places of residence of the incorporators, and the number of shares held by each of them are as fol- lows: Name One of the most gratifying indications of the trend of municipal af- fairs of a city is the interest manifest by the business men and wage earn- ers and when once these stand together for the common good of their home city there’s certain to be a house cleaning of the right sort whenever one is needed, and it is just these same persons who are the judges of that. A city or town is dependent in the main upon the wage earners. Nc doubt about it. They are in the large majority; they are the heavy buy- ers for their families and upon them depends the success of merchants and, in turn, the banks and all lines of trade in an endless chain, easily Residence and No. Shares Postoffice A. O. Ouren, Minneapolis, Minn,, E. Knutson, Graceton, Minn.. Joe B. Ferguson, Graceton, Min P. D. Freeman, Graceton, Minn. Carl J. Olson, Baudette, Minn. figured. The wage earner is the man who works hard for .what he re- gedjr gsll_lez;lndhg:lfiu.mlfl:n celves. He will be the best booster for any community if treated rightly| —~ ™ ' "FOURTH. The government of this corporation and the management of its affairs shall be vested in a board of Seven Director: who shall be elected at the regular an- nual meeting of the stockholders to be held on the First Thursday succeeding the first Monday of January of each year between the hours of Ten A. M. and One P. M. of the said day. The first Board of Directors shall consist of the following members: A. O. Ouren, E. Knutson, oe B. Ferguson, .P. D. Freeman, Carl J. Olson, O. A. Ouren, Peder Falland, who shall hold office until the first an- nual meeting, and until their successors are elected and qualified. FIFTH. The amount of the capital stock shall be Ten Thousand Dollars fully paid, in cash, which shall be divided into One Hur;]dred shares of one hundred dollars each. and he is just the kind of a citizen who speaks out loud and doesn’t stutter whenever he has anything to say on affairs which affect him. The hope of any sensible man is to own-his own home and provide for his family and he is willing to work hard and give whenever he can toward projects which will advance his home city and incidentally his own ‘home interests, and that includes the business man, professional man, mer- chants, manufacturers, bankers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, clerks, la- borers and in fact every class. There is no difference in the aims of any of these men, provided they are of the right sort. The man in overalls is just as good a citizen as the man who wears the immaculate business suit and white linen during his business hours. It isn’t the gold case nor the engraving on it that counts, it's the works. i And this then brings us down to drawbacks in the advancement of a live community—justly entitled to progress, that all its right thinking people may also progress—and one of the most objectionable of the draw- backs is a certain element which poses as the conservators of the rights of the people and all that pertains to them in their public affairs—imi- tation politicians, if you please. . . Imitation is the correct interpretation of their true worth to the com- munity in which they live and seemingly thrive, how is anothér matter. If this same bunch was dropped into a class of REAL politicians they would look like a selling plater in a stake race. For some reason, too deep to fathom, some of these “tin horn” poli- ticians become possessed of the delusion that they are the Majura of Rat- ta-tat-tat or some other potentate, we don’t know, and when they hit the - corner to turn into the paved section they swell up like a poisoned pup CH SIXTH. The highest amount, of indebtedness or liability to which the corporation shall at any time be subject shall be llme Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dol- ars.

State of Minnesota, County of Bel- trami Fact is, if all their brains were turned to dynamite there wouldn’t be enough to blow the top of their heads off. If some of them were as small in stature as they are in principle they could stand flatfooted and look a red ant squarely in the face. It's the easiest thing in the world to handle a gang like that—just as easy as taking a cracker away from the canary, and just about as ex- citing. ' When a person has a boil on him what does he do? Why of course, he gets a needle and punctures it and lets out the corruption and gives the sore spot a chance to again become clean, and heal over like it should. And whenever there is a festering sore on the body politic, the voters should assert their. manhood, their honest convictions and go to the polls on election day, insert the lance which will let out the corruption and allow their home community to become clean, sweet and wholesome. s twentieth day of January, A.

ANDOR SYLTE, Justice of the Peace, Beltrami Co., Minn. And whenever you hear some peanut ‘politician,” who thinks he is just what the doctor ordered, spouting about what he’s going to do to someone or other, just make a mental note of the fact that the individual who can’t do any good can’t do any harm. Having nothing much to do at this moment we are going to suggest, who not form a league to enforce peace? We seem to have every other kind of a league of which the human mind can conceive—on paper.
