To the Ladies of Grand Rapids: ' Dressmaking is an art, and it is also a science. Like all other arts and sciences many people attempt it, and even claim proficiency, ‘whe do ret know even the first a or fundamental rules pre- taining to it. It is seldom that a town of the size of Grand Rapids is fortunate enough to have one person in it who is a real artist and thoroly knows her business, though many there be who profess to do so—as many can prove to their wardrobe’s sorrow. One reason for this fs the very fact that so many do not appreciate the services of an artist, and seem to think that the time and work of such a one is worth no more than that of a. pretender. Now, is it not much better when you have pur- chased a fine piece of goods and put money into good trimmings to put a little more with that and have some one who KNOWS HOW make that| gown, and be sure that when it is fimished it will be not only fit to wear but absolutely perfect in every detail? A gown that you may wear and feel that others observing you know that you are well dressed? A gown made for YOU, that not only fits you perfectly, but suits your personality and style of beauty and adds to, instead of detracting from your personal appearance. Of course you cam go to the cities and obtain this same service, but carfare poth ways and artistic service im the cities is not given away, neither is the latter always perfect as many have already dis- covered. Besides, one should be loyal enough to their home town to help in every possible way to build it up» and when one has made the effort and brought the best of service to you would it not be advisable for all to at least give this service a fair trial and pay its workers a proper price for their work? ; Our prices are extremely reasonable when the quality of the work is considered. We do not do CHEAP WORK even on the plainest and cheapest of gowns; the work is the same, the only difference in price being for the amount of work or length of time put on a garment. We ° make simple house dresses or school dresses for from $3.00 up; dainty wash and street gowns for $8.50 up; party gowns, according to the style and amount of work for $12.50 to $15 and up; suits, coats, skirts, ki- monas and other apparel at prices according to the style selected. When you are intending to have a garment made come in and let which will furnish one of the even- ing entertainments during university | extension week in this city June 17-} us talk with you about it, and get our ideas and prices.

Will school be held on a stormy morning! Will your friend be in if you call? What does the weather man predict and when does the train leave—are samples of myriads of questions con- stantly passing over the wire and being answered by the proper authorities. There are also questions to be asked about the telephone service; how somebody can be reached over the Bell Long Dis- tance Telephones and what it will cost, and similar questions. which are being answered by the information operators.? — @Y3@ “iy MESABA TELEPHONE C0 0.

Increased acreage in potatoes is! going to follow the crop shortage of the past season. Northern Minne- sota reported yields of over 300 bushels to the acre as against an/| average of 79.9 bushels for the whole country. Farmers secured from 60 cents to over $1 a bushel for their | tubers netting large profits. The average farm price on Jam 1 was 84.5 cents throughout the United) States, compared with 56 cents a bushel on Jan. 1, 1910. Meantime the country has paid exceptionally high prices for its potatoes, mainly o | account of last year’s shortage. The crop of 1911 was only 292,737,000 bushels, or 97,000,000 bushels less than in 1909. Below are the figures of yields per acre and production for three years: ' Yield Bushels Price Production Dec 1 1911 .. .. .. .. 90.9 292,737,000 79.9 1910 .. we oe 93.8 349,032,000 55.7 1909 .. .. .. ..106.1 389,195,000 64.1 “The potato crop is one which can be handled mainly by machinery, and|' as a supplementary crop for rotation has marked advantages over grain crops,’ comments an expert. “Prob- ably two-thirds of the states during the past year have had to depend on outside sources of supply. Imports from abroad have been handled in a slipshod manner, especially at the potr of New York, with a loss and waste which at-least points to de fective methods of trading in such imports. With the higher prices of breadstuffs the public will have to look more and more to root crops. This is expected to be a banner year throughout the country for the pro- duction of potatoes.”.

There will be a vigorous fight on the move to abolish the unit ruile at the Duluth convention, June 6. The Democratic state central committee has recommended that the unit rule be abolished. This would prevent a solid delegation to Baltimore and give Ramsey and Hennepin county a opportunity, if Clark wins out in |these counties as it seems propabl he will, to send Clark delegates from \the Fourth and Fifth district to Balti In the past the unit rule has The minority must This rule was denounced 2s undemocratic at the recent meeting of the state cen- tral committee. The country leaders, however declare that this is the only weapon it has with which to fight the Murpphy-O’Connor machine and prevent it from controlling in the case of a close contest. more. State Officials Must Fight. It is taken for granted that all state offices will be placed under the di }rect primary law. This will open the door for candidates and a hard \fight may be expected down the line. |Candidates for lieutenant governor in the field are Dr. A. B. Cole of Fergus Falls and W. B. Richardson /of Rochester, with several other entries possible. George H. Matt- son of Roseau will contest with Ju- lius A- Schmahl for secretary, of state, Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith | will have James Manahan and prob- ably others against him- Railroad Commissioners Ira B, Mills and C. E. Elmquist will have opposition, E. H. | Canfield of Luverne being in the field already. The supreme court judges will have to get into the | political mire unless the law makes an exception of them and provides fo a non-partizan judiciary. Wilson Men Confident. The Wilson men have no fear of the result im Minnesota, according to the Duluth-Herald. They have fail- ed to find any Clark sentiment ex- cept among certain elements in th Fourth and Fifth districts. The coun try districts will be solid for Wilson, and the Clark men who have made their sentiments known are so few in the Highth district that they will not even make a contest in the precincts in which they live. Reports from the country, indicate that the unit rule will be applied in th Duluth convention. The Democrats outside of the Twin Cities indicate that they believe that the unit rule should prevail to make the state’s in- fluence greater at the Baltimore cen- vention. The only district in which Clark delegates are likely to be elec* ed is the Fourth, which includes St. Paul. Says Abuse Will Make Votes. Roseau County Times: The amount of abuse and unjust criticism flung at Gov. Eberhart by the oposition candidates will create a feeling of indignation among many and will make votes for the governor. The same tactics were in- voked when John Lind was a candi- date for governor on the democratic | ticket and thousands of his country- men, who were republicans, resent- ed the outrageous and untruthful charges published against him and cast their votes for Lind. McGarry Wants In. P. H. McGarry of Walker will be| a candidate for the against Representative Aitkin. Mr. McGarry was in the house before, but dropped out two legislature years ago to run for congress against) Lindbergh. From _ his past perfor- mances one can expect a lively cam- paign from McGarry, but Warner is popular with Fifty-second people and | the man who defeats him will have | some work to do. Will Run In Sixth, Alvah Eastman of St. Cloud has declared that he will be a candidate for Congress from the Sixth district now that Congressman Lindbergh ha announced his intention of running for the United States Senate. Mr. Eastman’s candidacy for congress- man-at-lerge received the unanimous indorsement of the Sixth district Re- publican convention at Brainerd last week, Bet on the Dark One. Heron Lake Times: Ex-State’s Attorney Young is be; ing talked of as a possible candidate for the Republican nomination for overnor. Trot them out, boys; thg track is in fine shape, and is is a good time to bet your money on some dark horse. May Be Lieutenant-Governor. William B. Richardson, mayor of Red Wing, is receiving considerable mention ag a possible candidate for lieutenant governor on the Republi- can ticket. An Anxious Inguirer.

All report too much rain. Olaf Larson, who has had charge of the coal schute at this place for the past five years, was relieved last | week and he has moved back to his farm at Sebeka.

The Great Northern Railway com- |vany has had great difficulty in sup- plying their engines with water dur- the summer rush. Last week they solved the problem by tapping a creek about twenty rods north of Well, which will furnish ample sup- ply through the summer months. ‘BIBLE GLASS TAKES CHARGE OF SERVICE The services at the Methodist church last Sunday were taken charge of by the Young Men's Bible class throughout the day. A feature of the evening services was the address given by Supt. A. J. McGuire on temperance. Mr. Mc- Guire gave a practical, helpful talk that was listened to with close at- tention by a large audience. It was planned to ask Mr. McGuire to give another address before the business men of the village at a date |to: be decided later. } ;
