The Loyal Juniors, who have beemt under the direction of Mrs. Wood since they have been organized, en-j; tertained at the parlors of tha Christian church last week.

BANQUET IN HONOR OF NEW OFFICIALS Cohasset Ladies Have Village Law Makers as Guests—Event Un- usually Pleasaat The new village councilmen were guests of a number of prominent ladies of the village at a banquet in the Woodmen hall Tuesday even ing. The lawmakers have just taken office, and the affair was in the nature of a testimonial to the esteem in which they are held, and the confidence reposed in them. There was no set program, but! short addresses were made by all the official guests, in which they expressed appreciation of the good ‘will shown and the kindly spirit that prompteds the ladies in their | action, Several of the hostesses were called upon and made impromptu remarke in a happy vein that add- ed much to the pleasure of the gathering. Now that the distance tarfif has been incorporated into the state law it would be a good idea to study up and see what can be manufac- tured here, and meet the competi- tion at other points. There ought to be a possibility for working wood into a lot of things. Both commer- cial bodies might get busy. ry Goods Millinery Fancy Goods Cohasset, Mrs. MW. W. Fletcher : | Latest Move to Impose Unfair Im- tor distribution, or with intent to TONNAGE TAX GETS {PROMISE TO BUILD THE FINAL STROKE) SOME GOOD ROADS |Highway Commission Yields to Logic of Two of Koochichiug | post on Mining Killed by the | County’s Boosters House | What is believed to be the final | effort of the tonnage tax advocates was made in the lower house of the state legislature Saturday, and met with disaster. Representatives Bjorge and Frank son, not satisfied with the report of the taxes and tax laws committeg indefinitely postponing their new tonnage tax bill, attempted to over- turn the decision by asking that the house order the bill printed and placed on general orders. The mo- tion was turned down, 37 ayes to 50 noes. As the house was “light” because of the Saturday session, for a time things looked squally enough for the opponents of the legislation. Practically all of those who helped knock out the twins’ tonnage tax measure Feb. 18, again stood against the latest scheme to strike at iron mining with a special im- post. “This bill,’ said Bjorge, “pro- vides for a tax on the corporate franchise of mining companies to be determined at the rate of 1 cent a ton on the number of tons mined and purchased.” Miss Annie Shelland, superinten- | dent of Koochiching county schools, and Geo. A. Snyder of Internation- }al Falls, were in Grand Rapids Thursday on their way home from St. Paul, where they did real work before in the interest of good roads for their county and the north country in general. They induced the highway com- mission to recommend the con- struction of the following roads: International Falls to St. Louis known as the Duluth road, Interna- tional Falls to Northome; Interna- tional Falls to Beltrami county along the Rainy river and from Northome east to connect with the road to Grand Rapids, making a total of about 200 miles of roadway. Miss Shelland caused a bill to be introduced by which the state woul appropriate ten cents per acre to the road fund of those counties in which the.state lands amounted to 5,000 acres or more. They succeed- ed in having this bill reported out by the senate and house forestry committee unanimously. They then appeared before the senate com- mittee on appropriations to have the necessary amount $225,000 ap- propriated that the above bill called for. This committee cut the amount down to $100,000. This a- mount not being satisfactory to Miss Shelland and Mr. Snyder, they re- quested another hearing, which was granted. Miss Shelland and Mr. Snyder presented a straightforward argu- ment for the allowance of the full amount, $225.000, requested. The state committee voted on allowing the full amount,but the motion lost by a vote of 8 to 6. It was then moved to allow one half of the amount or 5 cents per acre,and this was carried unanimously. , Would Outlaw “Terribles.” The talking and moving picture will be severely censored in Min- nesota, if the women of the state, represented by their organizations are to have their way. The matter has been taken up with the legislature, and one day jlast week there was a big picture show at the state capitol for the benefit of the lawmakers. It con- sisted entirely of “movies” which had received the approval of the national commission, but which are} objected to because they seemed to the objectors to glorify crime. in some of its aspects, particularly by making fhe hero a murderer of the villian at the point where applause | is supposed to come, and thus, per- haps, inculeating vicious ideas in| youthful or weak minds.

Fake advertising in Minnesota gets a hard knock through a bill just passed by the legislature and signed by the governor outlawing the policy which many unrealiable or conscienceless persons and firms have followed of selling worthless things through publicity, the} mail order and medicine houses be- ing the flagrant offenders. In the future the victim will only have to make complaint to bring them to justice.

The State Automobile asso- sqciation, to the public, for sale! ciation has sent out letters to all owners urging them to protest. Lo- cal people who have received them have hustled hostile letters into, tha senate. It is charged that the change is in the interest of tag manufactur- ers and that there can be no just excuse for putting the auto owner to an expense of $5 for registering his machine. i Drifts Five Feet High. | Street commissioner Benton had a strenuous after-Easter encounter with the snow drifts on the village streets.

Boston, March 25.—A quiet cor- ner of the temporary Harvard li- brary, a pile of musty lore behind which may be discerned a_ slight serious-faced boy, peering through big spectacles at an open page or a heavy tome, and you have found Norbert Wiener, the 48-year-old master of arts, who is preparing his thesis for the degree of doctor of philosophy. “The Algebra of Logic” is the title of the thesis which the young- est candidate for a Ph. D. that America has ever known is hoping will bring him the degree that is associated in the lay mind with gra beards and bowed shoulders, The problems that vexed Euclid and Aristotle and Archimedes and the rest of the Greek philosophers and mathematicians are now occu- pying the mind of the young Cam- bridge lad whose contemporaries are still in the high school. Now, Will You be Good. B. A. Worthington, president of the Chicago & Alton railroad, says if the price of railroad stocks keeps T in the interest of their stockhold- — ers, will come over here and liek~ the stuffing out of us. In order to keep the war dogs” away he suggests that the United States government and people lef the roads alone to do as they please at rate making. This would insure suitable profits and keep us out of the clutches of the enemy, Be thinks. Now, that is a danger and a solu tion of the same we never though® of and wouldn’t unless someone mem tioned it. Of course, Woodrow and his satraps will tumble over them- selves putting the advice into pras- tice, thus insuring the nation a leng reign of peace, prosperity, liberty and happiness. 4 Seriously, isn’t it queer how @ man with sense enough to geb @ good job and hold it can sometimes geti off such stuff?
