THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1878) — THEY’RE ALL ALIKE Any woman will tell you that men are all alike and always have been, and always will be. And there seems to be something in that. For’ evidence, go back to the 17th century, and give a hearing to Jean de la Bruyere, a cele- brated essayist. In a treatise, “On Human Na- ture in Womanhood,” this fellow said: “I it is for men that women paint and besmear themselves, I can tell them that all men, or nearly all, have agreed that white and red paint makes them look hideous and frightful; that red paint alone ages and dis- guises them; that men solemnly protest against all artifices women employ to make themselves look ugly. “If women were by nature what they make themselves by art; if they were to lose suddenly all the freshness of their complex- ions, and their faces to become as fiery as they make them with the red paint they be- smear themselves with, they would consider themselves the most wretched creatures on earth.” : Thus in the 17th century de la Bruyere was giving vent to the same sort of criticism that may TOWNLEY FREEDOM OF PRESS be heard today among men who have no appre-{ Recently there was in Duluth the man who ciation for the graphic complexion.

THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE CHAPTER IV SELLING GOLD BRICKS TO THE FARMERS BY A FARMER'S WIFE | league. . (To be Continued). BY UNCLE SAM, M. D. THE NONPARTISAN ' After the farmers had given their | money and joined the league the next thing was to get them to subscribe for stock in a newspaper, or news- papers, which would “carry the truth to the people, via the Townley. route’. We were told that all news-) ‘papers were “kept” and belonged to the interests, that we could never hope to learn the truth from them. In order to learn the exact truth the farmers, must have their own papers. Sold Stock So’agents were sent out to sell the; farmers stock in newspapers at $20 a share. Every leaguer subscribed to one or. more shares of. this stock, and my; husband subscribed along with the rest. Our crops were almost a total failure that year and in order to pay, for this stock when due I had to go without a new winter coat although I had had none for five years. is a Dane.

They were told:to refuse to take his Stores Came Next agent for the Consumers United Stores company coaxed John into put- ting up one hundred dollars for a store to be built in our nearest town. The agent promised a saving of from 25 to 50 per cent on everything we bought and as we had already been told the business men were all grow- ing rich'at our expense a good many farmers were taken in.

Finding that the name “Townley” was an open sesame to the farmer's pocketbook a hoard of agents for various worthless stock descended on the farmers, saying they were rep- resentatives of the Nonpartisan ieague. The league headquarters repu- liated_ these when they were found out but no doubt they sold consid- erable stock before this happened. It grew so that scarcely a week passed without an agent calling at our home j and my husband took stock in prac-, tically everything offered. We have one hundred dollars invested in a store, that is nothing but a scrap of, paper, another hundred in a paper that is in the hands of the league’s enemies (this is supposed to be a league pa-} per, paid for by the farmers). Also we have many stocks of many kinds | some useless and some worse than | useles—and we cannot get a cent out; of any of them.

It may be that the foot trouble you complain of is due to excessive per- spiration and subsequent decomposi- tion and lasceration of the skin. It is suggested that you try bathing the feet regularly each night, and dusting them morning and night with some antiseptic dusting powder, It will probably be best fog you to con- sult a good physician. ; \ Washington, Sept. 16—Next time you hear that some food dealer dumped a car of good eats into the river to make the price go up, laugh at it. It‘was recently reported that food dealers dumped several cars of pota- toes in the river near Wilmington, Del. The Department of Agriculture got letters concerning that alleged in- cident that were so hot they scorched the paper. Secretary Meredith sent a man to Delaware to investigate. One man ‘o whom the Story was traced said in his fifteen yéars’ experience on the toad, he had never seen food dumped, and nobody else, who would have been in a position to know, could sub- stantiate the story, Dumping food would seem to be an unlikely thing, unless it is spoiled and unmarketable. Sometimes pota- toes are left in the ground because it doesn’t pay to dig and ship them, and once the farmers of Kansas used ear3 of corn for firewood because the price was too low. But dumping food-fr cars would hardly happen, especially potatoes at the high price they are now. Humans are sometimes mighty bad, but that would be the limit. | ! a ———+ o— ae cee | JUST JOKING 1 —— Enough. District Deputy Commish to T. F.

Large for- tunes have been accumulated by many of these extortioners by selling food- stuffs secretly at exorbitant prices. Nevertheless, the cost of living still ‘s mounting in this country. Statis- tics issued by the municipality of Turin for the first six months of this yeat show that there has been an in- crease of at least 20 per cent in the cost of food and of 25 per cent for many articles of clothing. In Rome, the result of abolishing the fixed price for vegetables and some other foodstuffs has been to send the price upward sharply.
