Does-it hurt you a lot, boy?” K “I don’t know as it does. weak too. ing I can’t describe.” “What is it-Joe?” Hears Mother’s Voice. “I dunno, George. But, remember the things Mother used to tell us *. when we were little, and fogght to get on her lap? T keep hearing her telling us Sunday sc}}ool stories, George, over and over, just the way she used to do it years ago.” “We were on our way to mass when it hit us, Jog. Maybe that’s why you hear Mother telling Bible stories. I can hear her now, too, Joe.” “T wish she were here, don’t you?” “sthould say so, Joe. tngbe’the nurse or someone will talk to us the way Mother used to. ‘We ought to do it anyway, because if something happened to either of us, Mother would like to knpw we were all right.” “T think so, too, but say,—George.” “Yes?” «If 1 should die, you'll be.careful so you can go back and look afte? Mother, won’t you?” That’s a promise, Joe. L want you to make the same one to me.” “Let’s shake on it, George.” They reached their arms across the space between the beds and clasped hands. Not Afraid of Death. “I'm not afraid,” said Joe, “if you come through all right, Joe. I wish we didn’t have to leave. D company, though, but even jf we got well we probably couldn’t go back with the boys. I'm- afraid I'm pretty low, George, but don’t , you worry. There’s no pain now.” “I'm not in pain, either, George, but awfully sleepy. We don’t have to worry about company D, because the boys’ll never lose a chance to get a German.” “That’s right, too. I feel myself going to sleep, so goodbye, Joe.” “Goodbye, George.” _ The. brothers drowsed back into their pillows, and the old hospital chaplain, who had just arrived, made his services a simple prayer for two brothers who were never to awake from the sleep they were entering. In a certain New England. town a brave mother has already been told by Uncle Sam how the nation appreciated the brave sons she reared taught and sacrificed to make the world a decent place to live in.” In a certain New England regi- ment on the front in France every man in D company has promised himself and his “pals” that D com- pany will never lose a chance to get a German. I'm MISS RANKIN FOR SENATOR ON A NATIONALIST TICKET Helena, Mont., Sept. 14.—Miss Jeanette Rankin, defeated in the Au- gust primary for the Republican nom- ination, will make the race for United States senator from Montana as a candidate of the National party. CONGRESS ARE EXEMPT. ‘Washington, Sept. 14.—The im- pression prevalent in many quarters that ‘members of congress are subject to draft, has been removed by a rul- ing of General Crowder read to the house. Congressmen, General Crow- der’s letter stated, are “‘absolutely and preemptorily executed by statute from the draft law and cannot waive their exemption.” Came Together. ¢ George and Robert are twins. One. day when they were about eight a little playmate neighbor boy of about the same ago came running up to where they were playing in the yard with this startling exclamation: “Oh, say, 1 got a little brother at my house; he came last night.” “Huh, that’s nothing,” "saild George, “I brought my brother with me when I came.” * Fragrances Diminished by Sunlight. Flowers are more fragrant when the sun is not shining on them, according to a French scientist, because the oils that produce the perfume are forced out by the water pressure in the plant cells and this is diminished by sun- light. Had to Stay. Traveling Lecturer for Society (to the remaining listener)—“I should like to thank you, sir, for so attentive- 1y hearing me to the end of a rather too long speech.” Local Member of Society—"“Not at all, sir.

VIRTUES OF BELTRAMI (Continued from Page One) so as to.give them that vigorous con- dition so necessary to potatoes which are to be used for seed. Soil Much Decirved. ; The soil is of a nature that one desires, .varying from 2 sandy loam to that of a clay nature, and is rea- sonably loose and friable, a condition}. - so0 necessary to producing tubers true to type and shaps. The growers, in general, ‘have begun .ne practice of selecting and treating so that they are now producing strains which are reasonably free from disease and mix- ture, conforming to the type and purity so essential to maximum yields There are three stancard varieties which can safely be recommended be grown in {.hls section of the state. The Green Mountain, the most gener- ally” grown variety, is most admira- bly adapted to all the variable condi- tions in South Beltrami county. The Burbank Russet is making - rapid strides as a potato to be recommend- ed for this ection of the state. . One early variety has proved itself worthy of reccommendation and no doubt can now remain as to its value as a varj- ety to be grown in order to supply the growers in the southern states who are interested in securing a high- yielding and a_vigorous variety to supply the early market with new potatoes. s Efforts to Increase. All efforts are being put forth by those interested in the potato to in- crease the production and to secure strains which are reasonably free from disease and true to type for the variety grown. Added pressure is now -being exerted to improve the mareting conditions and otherwise to dispose of all the surplus and cull potatoes, which is being secured by co-ordinated efforts and unification of all branches of the industry. Perhaps the most important indus- tries for utilizing all the surplus and cull potatoes is that of converting them into Natural Potato Flour. Be- midji, the county seat of Beltrami county, will have a potato flour fac- tory in operation by November 1, which will without a doubt be the means of making this county and sur- rounding territory.the leading potato sections of the state of Minnesota.

There is only ong way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by -a comstitutional remedy. Catarrhal Dedfness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless the inflammation can be rcduced apd this tube restored to Its mormal conditfon, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are -caused by catgrrh, which is an inflamed' condition of thé mucous sur- faces.
