other authorizations so common in
laundry soaps. Those who follow

drudgery at the washboard.
The first semester of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota ends this week
and the students are deep in the
intricacies of the half-year examina-
tons. If those that form the River
Falls contingent survive the ordeal
they will be at home the last of the
week to rest and refresh themselves
over Sunday.
The other day when the sun
shone, one of those red and black
boxelder bugs crawled out of a
crevice outside and carefully felt
his way up the window to find a
passage way inside. He seemed
to be little stiff in his hind legs
but he wiggled his antennae with
considerable vigor.

John Wanamaker says, There is
only one way to advertise and that
is to hammer your name, your loca-
ton and your business SO constant
ly, so persistently, SO thoroughly
into the peoples heads that if they
walk in their sleep they would con-
stantly turn their faces toward your
store. The newspaper is your best
friend III spite of your criticism. 1t
helps to build up the community
that supports you. When the day
comes that the newspapers are dead
the people are nearer the edge of
the grave with no one to write their
epitaph."
We want to do your feed grinding.
We have a sharp set of rolls and
can turn out grist in very short
space of time. New settlers will be
surprised to learn that when you
come to our mill with 20 sacks of
oats to grind you will need 20 emp
ties, making about double the bulk
you bring. We buy all kinds of
grain, baled hay and straw, and
keep constantly on hand the Mime
apo1is Flour, Bran and Shorts. Our
reputation for fair dealing should
assure you that we deserve your
patronage. CASCADE MILLS.

A terrible experience happened to
Mr.. and Mrs. John Finstad of Mar
tell Monday. Mr.. Finstad, who
lives on section %, had gone to the
woods after breakfast and Mrs.
Finstad went to the barn to do some
chores, leaving their two children,
one a girl of five and the other a
boy of three in the house. When
Mrs. Finstad returned to the house
she found the little girl horribly
burned, her clothing having caught
fire in some way. The clothing
was all burned off and the child S
flesh a mass of burns. The little
one died at one O'Clock that after
noon. The stricken parents have
the sympathy of all in their great
sorrow and trial. II is supposed
the children were playing with the
fire in the stove when the little
girls clothing became ignited.
