' The financial sky seems”to have tleared somewhat for the Pan Motor investors since the trial came to an ending in Chicago. It is to be hoped that all the small investors, and they can be counted by the hundreds, who invested their hard earned savings, will . reap a generous harvest from their advent into high finance. g .

The Duluth Herald reports that all is well again between President Wil- son 'and Colonel House. However, as an afterthought it remarks Dr. Grey- son, the president’s attending.phy- sician, by a successful “diplomatic stroke, managed to keep the two old friends away from one another the other day when the Colonel called. —o0— i WANTS COUNTY DIVISION. The Baudette Region in'a recent issue fires the opening gun for county division. The northern end of the county proposes to send an expert' to Bemidji for the purpose of learning what the real revenues of the new proposed county would be.';The War- ren Sheaf also announces-that Mar- shall county is contemplating doing the same thing, and while doing it an attempt will be made to take from- Beltrami county that portion of it adjacent to Grygla and add it to the new county created from Marshall county. In the meantime the profi- teers are dividing the earnings of the laboring classes, while congress is di- viding its time between peace terms, prohibitién and politics. —0— WHICH ? “Wolves are slaughtering the deer at the lake,” remarks the Baudette Region. Of course Bre'r Noonan has reference to the two-legged wolves with a trusty high power rifile. —0— WHAT’'S THE DIFFERENCE An exchange speaking of one of its prominent bankers refers to him as Mr. Skinner.

An exchange remarks editorially. that “one of the most powerful forces in the world today is public opinion.” We are overjoyed to hear this glad tiding, but if this really is 8o, there {s about ninety million peéeple in these United'States today, whgrwould like to see this ‘“public opindou’’ lift its voice in a loud protest against the constantly rising prices ‘on every- thing. b . . —0— IT MAY BE SO0. There must be some 1. W. W.’s out around Clearbrook, judging from the apology that paper offered in a recent issue for an article condemning the activity of these highbinders. And by the same token they must be sub- scribers to the Journal. —o0— BEST. NONE T00 GOOD. 1t seems a passing strange thing that the great state of Minnesota cannot afford to engage the best edu- cational talent that money can com- mand, when we take into considera- tion that the state has millions of dollars in the school fund that.can- not be ‘used for any other purpose. The leaving of President Burton, and possibly other big educators, for bet- ter paying positions, will doubtlessly tend to retard the growth of our pig educational institution.

So when my son showed up without Robert, looking much disappointed, 1 asked the reason. “0, his mother did say at noon that he could come but I'll tell you how it is—she is one of those changers of mind.”—Exchange. T Autointoxication, ° Autointoxication 1is aelf-poisoning and has nothing to do with thé modern auto: It is due to toxins produced by bacteria within the body, from pus pockets, decaying teeth, pyorrhea, bad tonsils or from bacterial fermentation in the intestine. e Gladys Brockwell, presents the novel idea of a man throwing dice three times for possession of a girl—and finally throwing with loaded dice in order to lose, because he realizes this will be for her good. It is said to be a tremendously forceful story of three human hearts—a new phaseiol the old triangle—that love ana ache, and are soothed at last by the consecrat- ing oil of self-sacrifice. In the hands of Gladys Brockwell and an unusually.| good cast, including William Scott and Thomas Santchi, this play promi- ges to be one of the strongést that e i o 'WHAT THE STARS PREDICT .- This is an unlucky day.

TOUNTED POLICE RIDE AGAIN e ———— Preservers of Law and Order in Cana- da’s Northwest Provinces Are “Back on the Job.” The Royali Northwest mounted police, resoliite preservers of law and order in ‘Canada’s western prov- inces, are back on.the job. During the, war_the organization practically went out of business. They made splendid soldiérs, and very many of them were killed in action. A large number won -decorations, and a still larger number:lived to return to the reorganized force. Hundreds of other returned men also have donned the red coats and blue breechees of the mounted police since the armis- tice. - When the “Royal Northwests” was organized in 1873, it consisted of 300 men who soon established a reputation for getting lawbreakers, dead or alive, when they went after them. The . title “Royal” was con- ferred on the force in 1903 at the suggestion of Lord Minto, the gov- “érnor general at that time, in recog- nition of its excellent work. Only unmartried men, twenty-two to thirty- years old, of fine physique and good character, are eligible. " The foree has expanded to, about 3,000 men. PARISIANS STIRRED UP. In the Louvre museum, Paris, France, the Assyrian room usually has attracted scant attention from visitors, but it is crowded now sim- ply because some person got in there early one morning and broke a show case. Everybody wants to see the splintered glass. Seme say a gold necklace 2,000 years old disappeared. Others assert that nothing has been touched " and that' the ~“burglar” merely wished to show that the mu- seum wasn’t properly guarded. - T THE TEST. “Were they good or bad spirits at the seance you attended ?” “Bad spirits decidedly.” - “Why, did you really see any?” “No, but.I.cotld:smell them.” Daily Fashion Hint P ; -8 : { SMART MODES FOR SMART FABRICS.
