PAGE 81% IMPROVEMENTS AT THE ITASCA STORE When the changes now under way are completed the Itasca store will be generally rearranged, and as a result dsiplay space on the first floor will be considerably increased. The new arrangement will afford much better opportunity for showing goods, and also make shopping at the Itasca more convenient. The office room has been moved from the center of the first floor to the rear of the building. The center space will be given over to the display of ladies’ coats, suits, etc., which have here- tofore been kept on the second floor. The grocery department has also been given increased space which was very badly needed. The hard- ware stock will remain, as heretofore. while the drug department will be extended the entire length of the south side of the building, making a total shelf space of about sixty-five feet in length. Shoes and dry goods. will occupy room as at present, with additional space in the center of the building used for ladies’ furnish- imgs. JUDGE M’CLENAHAN MARRIED AT DULUTH The friends of Judge W. S. Me- Clenahan in Grand Rapids—and they are many—were surprised, very agree ably, when they read the news of his marriage on Monday of last week to Miss Rose Poppenburg of Brainerd. The ceremony was performed at the home of Rev. D. W. Lynch, pastcy of St. James’ Catholic church in West Duluth. The wedding was a quiet affair, only intimate friends and relatives attending. Judge McClenahan iis known as one of the leading jurists of the state and has been on the bench of this district for a number of years. The bride is the daughter of Coun- ty Commissioner and Mrs. Henry Poppenberg of Brainerd and is popu- lar in her home town. Miss Margar- et Cunneen, an instructor in the Irv- ing school of Duluth, was bridesmaid at the wedding, and E. J. Kenny, former assistant city attorney, also of Duluth, was groomsman. After the wedding ceremony Judge and Mrs. MeClenahan left on a wed- ding trip. They will continue to live in Brainerd.

WORK PROGRESSING AT PAPER MILL The Itasca Paper Co. has a large force of men employed at the mill on ‘the new boiler addition and the con- crete foundation walls are nearing completion, only the southwest corner remaining unfinished. When this work is completed the brick work will then be commenced. The new boiler house, which will house twin boilers, with 300 horse power, each, will join the old boiler house at the east end of the build- ing. Have you seen Mrs. B’s new coat? Well its a beauty and she paid only $15 for it too. I really wouldn’t have pelieved that you could get such a fime one for that money if I hadn’t seen hers. Where did she get it?

Whitehead, dated at Rainier, Minn., informs the Herald-Review he is now located in ‘that boundary-line town. George was a Canadian for a century or two be- fore crossing the line into the United States, and very naturally he has never fully recovered from a_ love of his early environments. But some- how he took kindly to the ways of this country, and is now probably enjoying supreme happiness when he can awake each morning in the land of the brave and the home of the free and take a look across the Rainy river at Union Jack. On the postal-card-letter iis photographed a fishing scene wherein an antique appearing individual is enjoying a bottle of “Bud”, as he sits comfort- while the other fellows are landing a twenty-five pounder. The ancient fisherman with the bottle of “Bud” looked and acted just like George— from a rear view. . THE SECRET of being well dressed is to feel at home in your clothes.

Len Walker was dangling about the |town and pretty dry one day a week ago, and jiggling a silver watch by its chain tried to raise $2.50 on it saying he “had to get a package out | of the express office and would pay it right back in an hour.” It looked \fishy that he couldn't wait that hour and get his express wthout | borrowing, and after several hours jhe “landed” Henry Herreid. A drunk fellow who was “touched’’ for the ticker sobered up and complained to the police. Officer Fraelick soon had the watch, but discovered Walk- er had boarded a freight for Grand Rapids. The watch was worth $40. A watch was kept up the Itasca line and Walker was located at Jes- sie Junction where the officer went and got him Thursday. He was ar- raigned yesterday before justice Tel- lin and did not deny the theft. He was sent to the county jail for 30 days.—Deer River News, School supplies and tablets at Mill- | er’s. i secoeesereeesn: Grand Rapids Village Lots AND $5 PER MONTH. for sale on easy terms.

Often the eye of the camera will de- cipher documents of which the writ- ing had been substantially obliterated by age, says a writer in Van Norden’s Magazine. I have successfully copied with the camera the utterly faded pho- tograph of a classmate of 40 years previous. Changes in the pigment of the skin, andiscovered by the eye, appear with distinctness on the sensitive plate, and it is said that ample warning of approaching disease has been _there by given. The camera takes pictures of sub- jects which cannot be made to appear | on the ground glass and of those which the eye of man has never seen. The human eye can penetrate space no further in an hour than in a single instant. Yet the eye of the camera will gaze into the sky for hours, look- ing deeper and seeing more with each second that passes. Through this attribute of the cam- era a great chart of the heavens is | now being made. In this work dis- tinguished astronomers and photogra- phers throughout the world are co eperating! Yet not one in a hundred of the stars already plainly pictured | by them was ever seen by the unaided eye of scientists. ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE | Battle Formation First Used by Scotch Troops at the Battle of Bannockburn, The greatest of all Scotch anniver paries is that of Bannocburn, fought on midsummer day in the year 1314. Apart from its bearing on the inde pendence of Scotland, the battle will always have an exceptional interest | trom the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. “Proud Edward’s” ‘army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of toot-folk, armed with the spear, and these Bruce threw into “schtltroms,” or oblong squares—a formation bor towed by Wallace from the Flemings, who had employed it with success at Courtray—to resust the charge of the English cavalry. Hitherto the mounted mail-clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute, spear-armed infantry drawn up in “schiltrom” or hedge-hog tormation, and these two battles revo- futionized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn the English ap- plied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy, and still more at Agincourt. As it was the Bcots who may be said to have orig- nated the British square at Bannock- burn, so it was they again who at Balaclava were the first to discard It with “their thin red line,” and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded altogether.

Painter’s Effective Rebuke to His Over-Dainty Pupil. old pupil of Conture tells how she master came into his school room one day when the model was in excep: ‘tionally good condition, the light espe- cially fine and the circumstances of the seance altogether auspicious. As he entered one of the students got up and went to the tub of water in the coruer, leaving all the rest buried in their work. “What are you going to do?” asked Conture roughly. The student showed his hands, which had some paint on them, and replied that he was going to wash them. Conture | dabbed his thumb in some paint on the palette of the nearest student and made a smear on the dainty pupil’s forehead. “You ha? better wash your face, too,” he said. The face washing was the last act of the students when they had finished their work for the day. The dainty pupil took the hint to heart. apologized and sat down et his easel, without visiting the tub. {fhe had not done so he would never have entered the ---ool again. Canal Long Ago Projected. It Ls now nearly 400 years since the first proposal was made for the Pana ma canal. A canal was suggested as early as 1520 by Angel Saavedra, but for a long time all such suggestions met with determined opposition from Spain, who made it a capital offense to seek or make known any improv> ment on the existing route from Porta Bello to Panama. More recently Louis Napoleon, when a prisoner at Ham, spent much time considering ‘he practicability of such a scheme. It was not, however, until the California | gold rush of 1849 that any accurate knowledge of the topographical condi- tions was obtained, and even then 30 more years elapsed before the actual site was chosen by an internatioal sommission and the work begun.

Duluth, Minn., Aug. 21, Mr. Andrew Fritz, Public Examiner, St. Paui, Minn. Dear Sir: As per instructions I have made an examination of the school books of District No. 1, Itasca County, and beg to submit the following report. Upon entering into this examination I found Mr. Dickinson, Treasurer, Mr. Doran, Clerk, and Mr. Reusswig, Direct- or. The latter’s resignation was accept- ed and the vacancy filled by a Mr. Bur- sess of Cohasset. This change took effect while I was making the audit. I beg to advise that upon getting bal- ances from the banks, I found that no pass books are being used by the treas. urer. The moneys are also banked in the name of Mr. Dickinson, Treasurer; also the school orders are signed by the clerk and director, and 90 per cent of same are cashed by banks and later taken up in a bunch by one check from the treasurer. The school district does a large ex- press and freight business. This is paid in cah by ‘the treasurer who later makes out’ check to himself to cover these charges. I would therefore ad- vise the use of pass books with banks and if possible, bank cash in name of school district, with Mr. Dickinson's name as treasurer; also to establish ‘a menthly credit with the Railroad and Express Company and pay these bills muonthly to the companies direct. The district board are adopting the voucher system, which will be much in advance of the present system of pay- ing. The bills I found, were not filed in very systematical order, but the vouch- ‘er system will make this part of the work more modern. I checked the clerk and treasurer’s books and found everything very satis- 1911. factory. The retiring director, Mr. Reusswig, deserves a great amount of credit for the work he had done as the records show he did considerable more than intended for him. The present board are handling the moneys very economically for the size of the district, and deserve credit for the vast inter. est they have and are taking in same. Following are my findings. Yours truly, R. R. GRIFFITH, Special State Ex- aminer. P. S. My report covers the period from July 15, 1909 to July 15, 1911, being} the term served by Mr. Dickinson as treasurer. R. R. G. RECEIPTS.
