Wanted to Marry.

These are troublesome times
for the people living in Columbia
county who are matrimonially in
clined. The county organization
has not proceeded there to a
point where marriage licences
may be lawfully issued, neither
can a couple that happens to be
cannubially inclined come to
Crookston as the county seat and
secure the papers that will war
rant a preacher in tying the nup-
tial knot.
Saturday a man came before
Clerk of Court Lommen and
asked for a license to wed one of
the buxom damsels whose home
is in one of the townships that
were set off from Polk by the re-
cent proclamation of Gov. Van
SAINT. He was informed that he
would have to apply to the auth
critics of Columbia county for
the required document, and re-
piled that they had no clerk of
court there, the new appointee
Mr.. Trovaten not having quail
fed. The case was referred to
Judge Watts and while he was
clothed with authority to per-
form the ceremony had no right
to do so until the license was pro.
cured. He could net issue a
special dispensation in the case,
and the candidate for cannubial
bliss is compelled to wait for
his crown of happiness un-
til the roster of officers in Col
umbia county is filled.-Crook-
ston Journal.

Multitudes are singing the praises
of Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people we'll and
weak people, strong by digesting what
they east, by cleansing and sweeten-
ing the stomach and by TRANSFORMING
their food into the kind of pure, rich
red blood that makes you feel ga2a
all over. Mss. Cranfill, of Troy, @
T., writes: For a number nf years
was troubled with indigestion aud
dyspepsia which grew into the worst
form. Finally I was induced to use
Kodol and after using four bottles
am entirely cured. | heartily recon-
mend Kodol TO all sufferers from in
digestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose
after meals. 1t digests what you eat.

The Pioneer enjoys hearing its
envious rivals scold, and reads
their lies with open hearted joy.
Rail on, rail on. The Pioneer is

that can lay claim to republican

times "

A. N. Dare, the popular editor
of the Elk River Star-News, will

the newspaper men of the state

proverbs.

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why. ... ...... .....s--
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion. r .'*> y
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it. ..
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

own chauffeur, and invariably drops
into the Casino after one of his long
spins through the country and relates
all it's incidents, always concluding by
stating that the run was accomplished
without accident. Upon one occasion,
after he had given his usual detailed
account and conclusion, one of his
friends spoke up, saying:
Look here, Tommy, you appear to
be SO much surprised at freedom from
accidents that it seems to me your
tone of voice indicates a regret that
you got through safely without killing
anyone
The following day he was back
again in his old haunt rehearsing his
experience, when the same friend
dashed in and in an excited voice ex-
claimed:
Hurry up, Tommy; get into your
automobile quick, there's a Sunday

point whore / was SO utterly miser-
able that 1 was willing to make any
reasonable trial
"a person couldn't believe what fol-
lowed but the results speak for them

ago and 1 have never tasted coffee
since. / use Postum not only for its
delicious flavor but more for the good
