They are After deliberating but a few hours the jury in the case of Keaton Willis, accused of murdering his father at Deer River April 12th, returned a doubt of the result. Attorney Price put up an able defense and County Attorney Thwing’s iosing argument was masterly but dispassionate and emphasized the fact that justice must be done both the community and the accused, Mail Order Grocery Trade. While the enactment of the gov— ernment pure food law put the mail order grocery business decidedly ‘‘on the bum,” there are still some firms which are sending advertising into the rural districts in an effort to cor- ral s of the trade which ought to go.to the local grocer. The inducement held out to the rural customer is usually that of the The mail order vs. Coleraine. Last Sunday the base ball team from Coleraine, accompanied by the band and an enthusiastic crowd of fans, came over and played ball with Henry Logan of Grand Rapids, says the Bemidji Pioneer, has accepted a position with the Benedictine sisters, who own the St. Authony’s hospital in Bemidji, the St. Michel’s hospital at Cass Lake and the St. Joseph,s hospital at Brainerd, whereby he is the representative of these con- cerns.

D. Davidson of Duluth. who with his business associates has bought and ‘sold miliions of acres, and in England his company have accomplished by advertising. No one knows better than he what advertising will do. for through advertising he has attained unprecedented success. ‘The time is ripe for a movement towards northern Minnesota” said Mr. Davidson. “I have studied iands for more than a score of years, and I have seen them from coast to coast, and my observation convinces me that the soil in northern Minnesota is of the first quality. A man can go upon these lands and start to make a liv- ing from the frst day. As soon as he commences to produce he will tind a ready market at his door anxious to secure his g?ain, his grasses, his cat- tle or his dairy products. “JT believe that an organization constantly on the lookout for them. Bring the lands in Northern Minne- sota to their attention, convince them of their true worth, and it will be Impossible to keep them from coming here. The proof is at hand in the farms and the products which cate was formed to sell these lands. Inside of 15 months they disposed of 1,200,000 acres, which is something phenomenal when analyzed. Settlers came, not only to Aitkin county, but to the Northern Minnesota. The sane thing can be done again, but in a more thorough and systematic way by advertising and sending these ex- hibits in all directions. Get toall of the principal cities of the prairie states, and follow the work up day after day without ceasing. If this plan is followed there will be a move- ment of settlers to northern Minne- sota that will astonish even the most expectant.” Mr, Davidson would be just the man to start this movement and if our sister counties will take hold we will wake up Itasca and help start the “combination offer.” . i A : : N é 2 ‘ concern slashes the price on some your customers exactly what they table dyes.

The mail order grocer also depends upon close buying to give him the edge over the local retailer and enable him to add transportation charges to his cost and still make a showing against the local merchant. In spite ofall these devices for getting into the territory of the local merchant, ‘the mail order grocer is at a great disadvantage, provided only that the local merchant takes proper measures to protect his own trade. Noscheme has been devised by which the mail order concern or the box car merchant can come into a community and beat the home merchant in an honest fight. The box carman mustdo bis work by misrepresentation. It simply isn’t in the cards for outsiders to beat the local merchant on the smal] margin of profit allowed inthe majority of groceries.

Booru, County Superintendent, Caution Your Little Ones. A false alarm of fire just at the close of the circus parade Wednesday forenoon called out the department and that more people were not in- jured is wholly due to the fact that “God looks after children and fools” The sidewalks were crowded and not- withstanding the danger men, women and children rushed into the streets and crowded the crossings in immin- ent danger from the galloping horses aud heavy trucks. It is getting to be more noticable every day that our people crowd the danger line and not until someone looses a loved one will the people take heed. Parents should caution their children in this matter and also warn them not to hang about the depot and railroad yards, nmin
