e HE THE * ‘Fwentieth LIMITED Just -About Right “Comie out with the fans and see a good game,” is the challenge on the. dodgers distributed about the city for the baseball game between Bemidji and Brainerd city teams Sunday. Judging from the present weather, the fellow who wrote the handdbill was very |considerate in reminding the public to come out with the fans. —Aint It A Fact— Misleading A’ “Hick” answered an advertise- ment, sending 524 for a dozen de- canters, f. 0. b. - The decanters arrived empty and consider his disappointment, for he expected the f. 0, b. meant “full of booze.” —The Hatchet. —Full Of Bull— The Faithful Male It was a nice secluded: spot—just for two, And the two were there. “You may call me Katherine, if you like,” she sighed. “Phe name I adore as I do the f'ady,” he cheerfully lied, “But please may I call you Maggie?” “The idea! Why?” “Maggic's my wife’s name and I sometimes talk in my sleep.”—Ex. —Sounds Like Jiggs— . All In The Point of View “Go to strangers for charity and go to friends for advice and you will never want for either,” Luke McLuke once said. We suppose, by that he meant that a person would never want for strangers and friends. —That’s About It— A Difficult Task There was once a time when a pedestrian on the downtown streets could always tell when there was a circus in town, Now-a-days there are so many regular citizens painted up like clowns and dressed l:.hnt way that it is hard to tell which is which. —1Is Which Which— Between the Axe It is understood that the circus here Friday had one good act any- way. Inquiry.- proves that this act was the one in which the employees pulled up the stakes and rolled up the tent, giving the people an oppor- tunity to get away from the show. The best trick the elephants did was to ‘carry their own trunks, the}-el;y saving the show company consider- able expense. That's one act they got away with. —The Fade-Out— P e THIS TIME LAST YEAR Yale .varsity crew pulled a bi.g surprise and beat Harvard in their annual race t New London, Conn.

Lodge’s vote to seat Senator Newberry was made the issue and the “flying wedge” as it was termed, plans to carry the campaign to every city and town in the state. 7 Reports drifting north from Wash- ington have it that Lodge will do no active campaigning and that he will allow the :Republican organi- zation to do the stumping for him. Fight For Governor The, gubernatorial fight bids fair to develop a little war of its own. Governor €hanning ‘H. Cox is in the fight for reclection. But Attorney General J, Weston Allen, who gained fame from his war on corrupt pub- lic officers especially the ousting of two district attorneys and dis- barring of several corrupt lawyers, probably will be a candidate on the Rgpublican ticket. Allen has been assured of strong ‘suppbrt and is being urged to run. His supporters say he will~be on the ballot. Allen’s particular strength lies in his dogged perservance in whatever he undertakes. He is not the figure of a popular politician,. but his fight against the rings that sur- reunded corrupt state officials which he successfully prosccuted has led his followers to adopt a slogan of “Allen for honest public. service.” The outstanding Democratic can- didate for governor is former May- or John F. Fitzgerald, familiarlly ‘known as “Honey Fitz,” ‘who is famous for his rendition of “Sweet Adcline” at political POW-WOWS. “Honey Fitz” and his favorite song are traditions in Democratic history in Massachusetts. AUTO BUSINESS ON FIRM BASIS, STATES BABSON (Continued From Page 1) the automobile business has grad- uated from the experimental stage and has become a great settled in- dustry, at least so far as the older company is concerned. The good will asset of every business should increase as years go on, provided it manufacturers honestly a useful product. The older automobile com- panies, however, possess the addi- tional asset; of being able to sell parts for existing cars. Many of these companies could pay their dividends, certainly their pre- ferred dividends, from the profits fom sale of parts. If Ford did not manufacture another car he could do a tremendous business for years to come in manufacturing parts for the cars already sold. If the satura- tion point is ever reached in the automobile business, the profits from the replacements of machines and the szle of parts will still be tre- mendous, “Of course new automobile com- panies do not possess this asset. Hence, conservative men purchase enly the stocks of the older and more stable concerns, Wise investors also look carefully to the capitalization. Before buying an automobile stock, divide the capitalization by the an- nual output:both in cars and in dol- lars. Certain popular makes of cars are over capitalized, and certain companies with small outputs have very conservative capitalization. Therefore, one should:consider both the output and the capitalization. Neither factor by itself is sufficient in judging an automobile stock. “] want to emphasize particular- ly,” concluded Mr. Babson, ‘“‘the fact that the automobile industry and that the sccurities of the stand- ard automobile companies should rank with thbgse of the steel com- panies. er, in view of the foreign on which the steel soon have I should even be inclined to sell - certain’ steel securitiés and invest the ceeds in seasoned autol threatened—general 1 18 holding -its own..

A (Continued From Page 1) win pitted solely against Kellogg:| To this geniie intimation, Mrs. Ole- son tells champions of the idea that they can go and jump in the lake or words to that effect. The little Cloquet woman put up a saucy scrap for the nomination, won a handsome victory and the Farmer-Labor lads might as well put it in their pipes and smoke it, the fact’ that a soprano voice will be heard among the_candidates for United States Senator in Minnesota this year, Charlie Davis appears to have won renomination as republican candi- date for congress,from ‘the Third district over Ruecbes Thoreen, the Stillwater attorney, but the vote was so. close “that Charlie nearly had heart failure., 8 At that Davis will not be sure of |1 the nomination until the vote is finally checked and as there is-only a difference of about 200 votes, it is more than likely that a recount will take place. It is reasonable to presume that Justice Quinn will succeed himself; as a member of the state ‘supreme court. He had a large lead over all other candidates. William H. Ander- son, the Farmer-Labor candidate, goes on the ticket with Justice Quinn. This is a Nonpartisan contest the two men getting -the highest number of votes winning a place on the ticket. William B. Anderson, former member of the legislature and at ene time chairman of the judiciary committee where }ki gave distinguished service, feels that he wis the victim of low-grade politics. William H. Anderson, is _also torney of Minneapolis. William B. feels that a man with a = similar name was delibertely chszen to cut into his strength. As a further hand- icap to Williata B., in some of the counties the official ticket read ‘William “A.” However, it appears the intention of the voters to main- tain the precedent that members of the supreme court succeed them- selves, so that even had William B. won the nomination it is not likely that he could hope for election in November. HATS USED TO DENOTE RANK in China Headgear to the Valus of Many Thousands of Dollars ls Not Uncommon. The natives of the Philippines. and South Sea Islands wear large sun-hats as a protection from the heat. Palm leaves of various kinds furnish the ma- terinl generally used, but the shapes differ. Some are woven flat and some avith a peak. The commonest form in the_Philippines is made of palm leaves covered with cane, a cane bandeau giv- ing an air space above. the head. The ornamentation of these. hats s very simple; no colors are used, with the exception of brown, which is occas- fonally introduced in the use of hemp. In Ching, in addition to the large, | peaked coolie hat-used as a protection against heat, there.is the hat which is emblematic of rank. The social po- sitlon of a Manchu woman, for .in- stance, can always be determined by the ornaments on her bonnet, often consisting of precious jewels. These hats range in price from a few dollars to as high as $10,000 aplece. One of the most interesting speeimens-on ex- hibition at the Brooklyn museum is & hat covered with delicate ornaments of turquoise blue kingfisher’s feathers, an imitation of jewels formerly used, fastened to a frame of a stiff black open mesh,. These ornaments, which are made wjth a metal foundatlon, stand_out -apout half an inch from the hat itself; and are beautiful both fn design ard color. . “Tombstone¢s, aud even war men§;p~ lals, are Dbeing bought from Ger- many hy English and Amerlcan cltles, because Germany is able to underbid other markets. . e Breezy letters from home-town bud- dles are being sent wounded Kansas soldlers in a hospital at Fort Bayara, N.

Miss Millle - Browne, the prettiest girl In the village, was"blessed with a father who snubbed all young men who came to ‘see her. One evening Charles Newton, a bashful young man, called. ‘Mr. Browne and old Mr. Newton were close friends, but the boy had grown 80 rapidly that the old man did not recognize the visitor. “It looks as if it might rain,” the young fellow ' ventured, timidly. “"Taint goin’ to rain,” was the gruff response. For about a quarter of an hour they sat in silence. Kinally, the old man's curiosity got the better of him. “Who are you?” he growled. “Charles Newton, sir.” ‘What! Not old Tom Newton’s on 2" 'Yes, sir.” S “Well, well,” said’ Mr.' Browne, more Rindly, “it may rafli.” It may rain.” TELEGRAPH POLE HIS ROOST Tommy Climbed, Up Without Trouble, but Getting Down Vias Alto- gether Different Matter. .o One afternoon & week or two ago, writes a Prince Rupert (B. C.) reader to the Montreal Family Herald, a cat in a frolicsome niood climbed to the top of a telegraph pole 50 feet high ou_one of our main avenues. When Master Tom reaclied the top and saw the height he was from the ground, he took cold feet about returning to earth, and in spite of it -being very windy and raining hard, he decided to stay up, which he did all that night. The cat’s pitiful cries the following morn- Ing drew the attention of a lady living close by, who telephoned to the police station, and in a short time one of the municipal telephone, linemen came plong and rescued poor Tommy.from his uncomfortable position, Although the cat was pretty well all in after the night of exposure, he' soon recovered and has no doubt resolved to give tele- graph poles a wide berth in'the fu- ture, Coincidence Almost Complete. - Two friends of mine, says a New- ifoundland reader, were married May 24, 1878. The brides were both named Bessle. On April 1 the following year twins 'were born to both couples. The “H” twins were girls and the “M” \twins - boys. On the same date the following year, 1880, a boy was born to Mrs. H. and a girl to Mrs. M. On April 8, 1881, there came a girl to Mrs, H. and a boy to Mrs. M. After this there were several children, but the birthdays did not coincide. = The twg friends have dled, leaving two widows and large families scattered over the world. Our reader says “I suppose, to carry the coincidence still further, 1 should have saifd that the twins mar- ried each other, but this never hap- pened; the four twins are still single.” —Exchange.

Although he was born in Holland, Mr. Hollenga had little difficulty. in mastering the = “American” language. As a speaker for the Legion in all parts of the country, his oratorical ability has become so well-kiown that he is called “Billy Sunday of the Amer- lean Legion.” A citizen of the United States for & number of years, Mr. Hollenga volun- teered as a private shortly after war was declared. He was soon made a Adrill sergeant, but found fo joy in this “squads right” career because of his desire to get to France. He obtained a transfer to Base Hospital 65 and served with this unit overseas. \ When the war ended Mr. Hollenga spent more than a year organizing chambers' of commerce in the South, and then served as a fleld represent- ative for the Legion.

Post, Honored by Bourges, France, The average American newspaper considers spojting editor himself licky to preserve A mere semblance of citizenship, but Frauk Sinclair, who® holds 'that position on a Janesville (Wis.) newspaper, bears the distinction of belng a citizen of two countries—or at least of two citles. Binclair, who s historian of the 3 Janesville post of the American Leglon, was honored with citizenship in the cfty of Bourges, France, while a regi- mental sergeant major with the Cen- tral ‘Records office, G. H. Q, sta- tioned in the French town. The honor, usually conferred only upon high governmental representa- tives, was given to Sinclaft for pro- moting closer relations between the Yanks and citizens of Bourges through the medium of “The Cro,” largest post newspaper in the A. E. F,, of which Sinclair was managing editor and co- organizer. The commeon council of Bourges awarded the honor. Lawrence J. Weldman, Boston, and William- F. Wragg, Brooklyn, were also made citi- zens for co-operating in Sinclair's dip- lomatic work. Sinclair and Weldman 4lso won remown as the authors of “The Battle of Bourges,” which a Paris English language newspaper said should be in every American home.
