OTHER EDITORS OPINIONS
Elysian Enterprise: 1t pays to ad
vertise in your local paper. Recently 6
gentleman reported to the editor thai
his buggy whip had been stolen anc
asked the editor to insert the following
notice; "The party who stole my whiE
few days ago had better return the
same and throw it in me back yard anC
save trouble as the party is known tc
me-" The next morning seventeen
whips were found in his back yard as a
result of advertising.
Red Wing Republican,: Dowie is the
most stupendous product of mere ad.
vertising that the world has ever seen.
Elsewhere the advertising method must
at least have some basis to work on.
The article advertised must have some
merit, some qualities that commend it.
But there is nothing at all to DOWie
but the free advertisement that he has
received. Without them he is just an
ignorant, passionate, railing, vulgar
old man.
Owatonna Journal: The stupor that
comes with the reaction after the use
of liquor frequently leads to death.
We had an example in this city week
ago last Saturday night. A faithful,
honest, hard working man carried
down to his death, and his family left
without support because the hus usband-
the father the head of the family had
vn hc+ soh h,,k
that it always deceives; that it never
fulfills its promises.
Park Rapids Enterprise: In the long
run the worlds estimate of a man is
correct one. Neither the whitewash
brush nor varnish in the hands of friends
or the stiletto of abuse or inuendo in
hands of enemies have much lasting
effect. The public has way of look
ing right through these things and
judging a man for what he is actually
worth. This is proposition that it is
safe to bank on and at times it has in
it whole lot of consolation.
Wadena Tribune: 1t is we'll to re-
member that Minnesota is not the
smallest pebble on the beach. She ranks
production, third in numbering manu-
featuring, fourth in the value Of cereal
products, fourth in oats, second in
barley, fifth in rye, ninth in potatoes,
fifth in dairy products, third in linseed
oil manufactures, first in health and
second in education. In this connec
tion it must also be remembered that
the University of Minnesota, in point
OF attendance, ranks second in the
United States
Milwaukee Wisconsin,: It is surpris-
ing that apple growers do not have re.
course to the use of boxes. Many of
the growers of the West are using
boxes for their choice apples, and the
fruit reaches the market in better con-
dition than the barreled product. The
apples can be packed more closely, and
there is therefore less chance of bruising
through movement of the entire mass
in handling. Boxes can be more firmly
disposed as freight, and can also be
handled more securely in carting. Be-
sides the fruit can be more temptingly
displayed in an open box than in a
barrel.
Lyle Tribune: Wednesday Nov. Is,
marked completion of 49 years which
Guy Powers has spent in this vicinity.
Mr.. Powers came here with his parents
and two brothers, Caleb Of Austin and
Chas. of Oregon, and his sister. Mrs.
IL. A. Stockwell, in 1854 and landed on
the Wilder, farm; at Old Otranto.> He
says that fall was very5nice and they
were kept busy. breaking the prairie to.
keep the prairie fires from burning
everything in;its path After tie new
year had come the terrible winter set
in and only those who lived in those
days know anything about the hard
ships which were endured bv the
settlers. Mr. Powers still enjoys good
health and seems as spry as many only
half his age.
Sank Rapids. Sentinel Among the
notable features Of the, address of
President J. j. Hill, Of the Great North
zern railway, at the great irrigation
meeting recently at Bismarck, was. the
restatement Of what heihads previously
announced, that his company was salts
fed to receiye ia; net income ]of seven
per cent upon moneys invested; also
that all judgments for personal ffnjuries,
damages, taxes iexRcte dsa &6c.S nac,.,tare
charged up to expense account, and
that freight rates are regulated &C,
cordingly.$ This is nothin9 neW, but i

that 9 burden is thus being inflicted
