That's just what we like to see, for the Herald- Review man always writes sense, and puts it up in nice crispy chunks, with out any sugar coating.”” Thanks Bro. Triplett The Herald-Review never cared for sugar<oated stuff. It pro- fers its saccharine dope right from the center of the little sack, For the sufferers of the Chisholm holocaust many thousands of dollars and supplies were donated by the people of Minnesota and adjoining states.

Can any citizen of Grand Rapids solemnly swear that he or she wit- nessed the eclipse of the moon that was scheduled to occur last Friday morning between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock? All asleep? Good folks. J. J. Hill has given it out flat that in his opinion the people are living too extravagantly, or in other words, we are becoming a nation of con- sumers rather than producers. Mr. Hill is in the railroad business. and is looking for the job of transport- ing the produce from place to place. That's a natural business proposition. Can’t blame Uncle Jim. An exchange says: ‘How can peo- ple learn to respect and obey laws which the highest courts declare bad today and good tomorrow?” The proposition resembles roulette. Try this combination: 7, 13, 17, 29, 36. If you don’t win on those numbers hike ye into the corner with the puppies and kittens and figure out fanother system. Let us have a little mercy for Billy Taft. Wait for his forthcoming mes- sage to ‘the congress and wait a little longer to see how the congress will receive its recommendations, and wait still a little longer. Billy posses- ses the avoirdupois to sit down on some one or something as soon as he gets his second wind. Always be willing to give the devil his due. The Pillager Herald is the latest heir to the throne in the newspaper family and it is printed in the town of Pillager over in the southern por- tion of Cass county.

Wonder if that is the “yawn- ing chasm” that the old-time domi- nies used to refer to. If so, it is lo- cated very conveniently for the ac- commodation of a lot of people. Red Wing Free Press:—‘St. Peter is very generous with her guberna- tional material.

That’s easily ex- plained: When an automobile meets or comes up behind a farmer’s wagon or a city swell turnout it goat acts the vehicle into the scrap pile, the horse into the canning factory and sometimes the human goes to one place and occasionally elswhere. Kenge Se { Brding Pking Ducks. ; Peking ducks were imported into this country from China in 1873. They surpass all other breeds as a table fowl. In the vicinity of most of the lange cities they are raised by the thousands for this purpose, and the industry is very profitable. They jare good layers, and the supply of good ‘breeding ducks seldom equals the demand. There is also a good /de- mand) for eggs for hatching. They mature early and thrive better with- out water for swimming than any other breed of ducks, although they enjoy it if they have it. They should always have water deep en- ough so they can submerge the head and eyes.

They are easily confined janc need only a very low fence. They are much more intelligent than chick- ens, and seem to understand what they are expected to do. We usually set the eggs under the hens, they are strong when they leave the shell jand after a week or ten days with the hen they can usually take care of themselves if protected from cold, rains and vermin. When they are growing rapidly they consume con- siderable feed, but contrary to a quite general impression they do not con- sume as much for a pound of growth as chickens, as they are great for- agers. - | To Keep Turkeys Healthy. A good and clean a" around rem- edy and preventatives of disease in turkeys is the “Douglas Mixture.” It is also a good disinfectant and is so cheap that it may be used freely in coops, buildings or pearches. The formula iis as follows: /One pound of copperas, one ounce of sul- phuric acid (oil of vitroil), two gal- lons of water. Give one teaspoonfull to a quart of drinking water. It should not be given continuously, but once or twice a week. It is as good a remedy as is needed for roup, but if the turkeys’ quarters are kept clean and dry the mixture need only be given as a preventative. Another preventative of that dread disease jroup is to smudge the turkeys occasionally with sulpher fumes, but they must not be subjected to the fumes for more than a few seconds at a time, or the fumes will kill them Good Pictures at Gem. During the past week the propri- etors of the Gem theatre certainly put on the best reels of moving pictures jever seen in Grand Rapids None of them were in the least au- Wiqueted, eing of the latest obtain- able. {Miss Lathrop’s illustrated song still proves a good drawing card, while ErnestT Tuel’s trombone solos, with piano accompaniment by Miss Greiner and Miss Dewey’s splendid voice add very much to the enjoy- ment of the crowded houses at both shows each evening of the week. Miss Greiner is a most accomp- lished pianist and renders classic se- lections each night. The managers know how to entertain their patrons and the “hoodlum racket” usually en- dured at such public places of am- usement is wholly eliminated. Border Town Booms. International Falls Free Press:— The power company is rapidly bring- ing to a close its construction opera- tions, and soon the hum of machine- ry will take the place of construction orders. The last building started, the wood preparing room, is already well under way, and will soon be en- closed. The floors for the upper stor- ies of the shipping room have been placefi and the brick walls will be built as rapidly as possible. Founda- tions are being \placed for the water tanks, which will ‘be built at once by the J. A. Rowat Co. of Wheaton, Minn. The main tank and stand pipe will be one of the largest in the state having a capacity of 200,000 gallons. Its top will be 170 feet from the ground, while the tank will rest on a steel frame work with a 50 foot base. Just west of the main building will be placed a smaller tank, the brick foundation of which has been laid. This will be used for storing pulp. Several other large tanks for the juse of the paper company, will be built iby the contractors. Within the paper mill, the hum of activity is incessant. One of the big paper machines are being put up in place and another is on hand. It jis thought by the manager, Mr. Curtis that the paper mill will be turning out its finished product by February. The power houses have been complet- fd, the turbines are being installed so that power will be ready when the mills are finished and the machinery placed. The magnitude of the power company’s plans are becoming more apparent as the great plant assumes completion. The various contracts for pulpwood assure all that the com- ing years will be busy ones around Iniernational Falls. ' IN THE “SUN KISSED” WEST More or Less Authentic Tale Duly Impressed the Man From the West. I|was talking with a Minnesotan the other day, . said an eastern man. “Speaking of farms,” he said, ‘we have some sizable farms out in Minne sota. Yes, sir, I've seen u man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and plow a straight furrow till fall. Then he turned around and harvested back.” Wonderful!” said [I. “On one Minnesota farm,” he went on, “its a usual thing to send young married jcouples out to milk the cows Their children bring back the milk.” “Wonderful!” I repeated. “Once” he said, “I saw a Minne- sota farmer's family prostrated with grief. The woman were weeping, the dogs were jbarking, the children were squalling, and the tears ran down the farmer’s cheeks as he hitched up his 2¢-mule team and drove off.” “Where was he going?” eaid I. “He was going half ‘way across the farm to feed the pigs.” “Did he ever get back?” I asked. } “It isn’t time for him yet,” was the reply.—The Housekeeper.

Iverson and Secre- tary of State Julius Schmahl an- nounced today that nothing could be done until the next legislature meets. The peddlers’ tax ranges all the way from $10 to $150 and was expected to bring the state quite a revenue.

The following is the body of a bulletin recently issued by Commis- sioner Andrew French in regard to adulterating foodstuffs and especially in regard to diluting oysters with ice orf ice water. Your attention is, particularly direct ed to the provisions of Section 4993, Revised Laws 1905, which reads as part as follows: “Section 4993.—Adulteration or im- itation of foods, etc.—Every person who, with the intent that the same may be sold as unadulterated or un- diluted, shall adulterate or dilute wine, milk distilled spirits or malt liquors, or any drug, medicine, food or drink for man or beast; or shall COLUMBIA Double Dsik Records.
