The country paper is to, the locality
in which it is published exactly what
the daily papers are to the great cities.
If wholesaler receives a proposition
for credit from country merchant no
consults first the commercial book Of
rating. and second the newspapers in
the town where the merchant resides.
The rating shows what the merchant
is worth in dollars, while the adver-
tisement in the paper shows what he is
worth in brains and enterprise, and
the latter consideration cuts quite as
prominent figure in. the matter OF the
extension of credits as does the mere
question of dollars, and cents to the
merchants credit at the bank. A mer-
chant may lose his money, but if he
possesses the energy. aud talent which
usually find their expression in tho
form of advertising; he has that OF
which no panic can rob him, and which
is safe from the attacks of even dis
honest cashiers.-St. Paul Globe.

D. w Hines spent Sunday in the
city on his return trip from Red Lake.
He tells us that tue railroad question
is no longer probability but an actual
fact and that a committee of Duluth
gentlemen, representing the different
business associations and boards of
trade of that city have resolved to
make personal inspection of the pro-
posed line of road and may be expected
to reach this city in the course of few
days. Mr.. Hines gave us tip that it
would be policy on the part of the
citizens of Langdon to. show these visi-
tors every possible courtesy as on the
result of this trip depends the interest
that the capitalists of the Zenith city
will display in the enterprise.
Last Thursday morning the body of
Adam Miller, Hungarian, was found
beside the granary on the Winchester
farm near Pembira. Miller worked
for Jacob GRADER and saved up his
money to bring his wife from the old
country. She arrived a few days ago
accompanied by another Hungarian
and both lived in the Hun settlement
near the scene of the murder. Sus-
pieion points to this man as the muir
derer and he has been locked up 1t
seems that Miller told his wife that he
would be out to see her Wednesday
night, after the chores were done.
The man to whom suspicion points is
Joseph Trill by name and knew of the
arrangement and left home about
dark, returning: about $3.50 With word
that Miller's horse and cutteR were
found outside. A search was made
and his cap and robe found. The
post norton showed that he had been
shot in the left temple and afterward
stabbed in the same place. The coro-
ner's jury is now in session.

Capt. G. L. Belknap, of Michigan, and
it did it upon grounds thoroughly char

body. After making all possible deduc-
tions, the Captain lad a clear majority
Of Is over his competitor. The Supreme
Court of Michigan decided this to be
the case. But the House decided that
1919 inmates of the Michigan Soldiers

Belknap, had no right to do SO, as they
were "paupers, supported at the expense

ITALY has a sugar duty for revenue
only, but it goes away ahead of any pro-
lection ever given the sugar raisers of
this country. I'm 1889 it was $1,000 per
220 pounds, but it has recently been
raised to IS francs, or $3.50 per 220
pounds. This is just S cents a pound.
If We had such protection in this conf-

WHILE the Mckinley Bill was in
force bankers offered TO lend the Govern
ment all the money it should want at q
per cent. per annum. Now the lowest rate
offered for the new loan is 3.12, and from
that the offers run up to $40, and-eyen
4 per cent. If s10O,000,0O0 should be
borrowed this would make difference
in interest of from s6SO,000 to 81 ,200,-
900 a year, or from $20,400,000 to
s36,000,000 for the proposed period of
80 years. As we have said before, this
Congress costs awfully, but folks would
have it.
