Raumbacfr Town.

Hon. w. S. Baumbach, of Wa
dena, was Bemidji visitor yes
terday to look after his various
interests here. Mr.. Baumbach
is much interested in Bemidji's
future and regards it as one Of
the most promising towns in this
section of the country He has
long been prominent in politics
in this section and is regarded as
one of the most influential Re
publicans in Wadena county.
Speaking Of the Legislative fight
down there Mr.. Baum bach
stated that he was confident that
Judge Asher Murray, one of
Wadena's Oldest and best citizens
will be nominated for the legisla=
ture over Vim. Dover. The fight
so far as Wadena county is con
cerned is one-sided and Mr.
Murray will go out Of his county
with a strong endorsement. This
should be entirely to his credit
with the voters Of Todd and Hub
bard counties.

He is lovable in a way. But he has a

Most women make the mistake of

1t is that subtle woman who looks
