Southern lumbermen are paying a good premium for an experienced Minnesota woodsmen these days.

Many other good -men of ex- perience have been induced with flat- tering wages to go south. It is funny how people discover the real importance of a newspaper when they get into a scrape or do something they are ashamed of, ob- serves a wise exchange. ‘They. live for years without subscribing and, ‘when asked to advertise declare that it does not pay, but the mmute they get into a scrape they run to the newspaper and request that nothing tbe said about it, and in case of trouble in which their names happen to be mentioned, they realize imme- diately that the paper has a circu: lation and they don’t want their disgrace spread abroad. At such times they seem to have a firm con- viction that advertising advertises. The following item which is just now making the rounds of the Min- nesota. press, should be fead and heeded by parents and guardians: law was passed by the legislature last winter. It provides ‘that children between the ages of 8 and ro years are required to attend school during all the time there 1s school in the dis- tnct, The board may appoint a truant officer who shali have power to apprehend and take to school children not in attendance and any parent or guardian failing to comply with the provisions of this. law in sending children to school, is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $50, or imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 30 days, or both.’ ” .

LaGrave, the ad- vance agent for the Sandford Dodge Dramatic company, arrived in Grand Rapids yesterday and was not long making arrangements with Waubana lodge K. of P. for the presentation here on ‘Tuesday night next of that famous drama, “Jamon and Pythias,” Mr. LaGraye 1s a newspaper man of much experience and a skilfull mem- ber of the art preservative as well. He is a pleasant gentleman to meet and one who posseses that rare faculty of impressing strangers with the idea that he represents the best dramatic company now on the road, News- paper men and printers are the only class of people rightly equipped with experience and traming to lead the way to success in the dramatic pro- fession, and Mr. LaGrave is evidently one of the most select members, The Itasca Mercantile company’s fall opening and reception last .Wed- nesday proved to be a very popuiar affair, especially among the ladies. ‘The Presbyterian. Aid society served a lunch from 5 to 7 in the evening which was liberally patronized. But the luncheon was by no means the main attraction.. Manager Buene- man had every reason to feel proud of the splendid display of new goods that graced every: portion of the big store. The salesmen had exercised most commendable taste in the ar- rangement of the several lines dis- played for convenient inspection. There were silks of latest pattern to suit every. taste; fascinating hats for the ladies, children and misses; beau- tiful patterns in all kinds of dress goods, from the cheapest to the most expensive; the rage of the season is golf capes, and they were exhibited in We invite you to read his ad. on this abundance. “It may not be. generally known, but} it should be, that a stringent school | DAMON AND PYTHTAS To be Presented at, Village Hall by the Sandford Dodge Co. on Tues day. | Sanford Dodge, the brilliant young American tragedian and romantic actor, «will appear at Village hall Tuesday evening, September 26, in Damon and Pythias, under the aus- pices of Wabana Lodge, No. 131, K. of P.

Glover’s confectionery store at 75c, general admission will be 50c, children 25c. We clip the following from the Stillwater Daily Journal, which is indeed, a very hig]. testimonial.

G. A. R. Dance. The B. F. Huson Post, G. A. R., will give its annual dance on the first night of the county fair—Thursday, the 28th.
