Heswas born In Douglas county and
the people here have known him all
his: lite. They have known him as q
poor boy working his way through
school. They knew him as q country
school teacher and when he went to
college they knew that although he
had no FUNDS he was equal to the task
and would succeed. He did succeed.
l.. And when he entered the teaching
profession, although he had been
away from home several years, they
elected him to be their county super
intandent of schools. His vigor and
hard labor in this position won: recog-
milton for the schools of this county
and today they are second to- in
the state. He was..soon recognised as q
1eader.in the educational world. When
he was elected president Of the North

ton his friends knew that it was q
recognition of his ability. They are
gratffied to hear Of the success Of the
association durlng his administration.
It was here that he showed what he

His administration marks an epoch in
acknowledgment of that institution.
He nearly doubled it's membership

Today he ia candidate for con-

show their approval when the proper
time comes in more substantial
manner.
He is not only a able young man
but has pleasant personality.
To know him is to like him and be
his friend. The only reason any one
ever has given for not voting for him
was that he did not belong to their
party and they were very sorry be-
cause they would like to see him
elected.

HARDING GOES TO CASS LAKE
WILL TAKE CHARGE OF Ma.
d. TIONAL BANK THERE

FL. N. Harding, Tor the last two
years assistant cashier Of the First
National bank Of Little Falls, has
bought, in connection with local and
Minneapolis parties, q controlling In
terest in the First National bank Of
.Cass Lake, and gone to Cass Lake to
take charge of the institution. B. W.
Lakiu is one of those interested in the
venture.
The Cass Lake bank was organized
as national hank in July, 1902, with
the late Senator Ferris as president.
Geo. LaBar, president of the First
National bank of Brainerd. succeeded
Mr.. Ferris. Mr.. LaBar owned four
ffths Of the stock of the Cass Lake
bank, and it is his interest which Mr..
Harding and associates have acquired.
The bank owns its own building.
Mr.. Harding came to Little Falls in
1890 and was for a number of years a
member of the mercantile firm of
Woodwork & Harding, retiring in
1897 to become deputy county auditor
under J. A Nichols. He succeeded
Mr.. Nichols when the latter resigned,
and was elected to fill the Office, re-
signing to go into the First National
bank. Mr.. Harding served two terms
as alderman. He is business man of
high standing and will undoubtedly
be successful at Cses Lake. The fam
lily will remain here until spring.
The Brainerd Dispatch says: lit
ia understood that the change will not
effect the policy of the bank material
ly although there will probably be a
change in the offers of the bank. F.
P. Leisen and.. r. q. Schumacher, cash.
Ter and assistant cashier respectively,
will be out. 1t Is more than likely
that J. Neils. of the J. Neils Lum-
Der Co., who Is now vice-preeidenta Of
the institution, will be the new prest-
dent and Mr.. Harding will ultimately
take the cashiership. The bank Is
capitalized at e26. 900 and is one of
the most aourishing institutions Of
the kind in the northern part of the
state. It is doing very good bust
ness and as the logging operations are
about to commence in that vicinity
the prospects for the future are very
bright. They have twenty old line
insurance companies and write practi-
cally all the insurance of the town.

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ma
tives of Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts.

Long regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to a place of
prominence as a great food product
The United States and other great ma
tons having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
of the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking its place as a staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
a fine flour out of which bread is
made, and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into wholesome cof-
fee.
The st. Louis Exposition is being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world Now this
nutritious bread and coffee are served
daily to visitors in the Palace of
Agriculture, as one of the many OBJ
ject lessons in food at the Worlds
Fair.

REPORTED OF RAILWAYS.

Railroads in Argentina are making
favorable progress, it is reported, un-
der the direction of English capital
lists.
For several years a record has been
kept of the wear of locomotive wheels
on the Danish state railways. The
single drivers are found to run better
than four-coupled. the latter better
than six-coupled, and in all cases wear
is increased by flimsiness Of road.
The Prussian state railroads during
their fiscal year ending with March
last earned S24,013,9 62 more than dur
ing the previous year, a seven per cent.
increase This is nearly 100000
more than was estimated when the
year began, there having been mean
while a marked improvement in busi-
ness in the country.
The German government railroad
exhibit at the st. Louis fair shows the
block system and switch signals now
in use in Germany. More than 1900
feet of track. in the construction of
which both iron and wooden ties were
used, have been laid. There are sta
ton house, two switch towers and one
intermediate block signal post.
Since 1880 the population Of the
south has increased about 60 per cent,
while it's manufactured products have
increased by PSI per cent. Railroad
mileage has increased 191 per cent,
and the production of pig iron 731 per
cent. In the coal industry alone the
output has jumped since 1880 from
$4,000 annually to $62,000,000. The
development has been steady in all
lines.
The last railroad built in India has
American rails. Americans export
their iron and motors, their machinery,
and galvanic wires to South Africa,
Egypt, too has more than one Phila-
delphia bridge. Three hundred rail-
road cars from Jersey City have found
their way into the land of the Pha-
raohs, and in the foundries of Pitts
burg electrical tramways were forged
to connect Cairo with the pyramids.
The Oroyo railroad, which now runs
from Callao to the gold fields of Cerro
de Pasco, is considered one of the won
ders in the Peruvian world. Com
mencing in Callao. it ascends the mar
row valley of the Rimac, rising nearly
5000 feet in the first sc miles. Thence
it goes through the intricate gorges OF
the Sierras till it tunnels the Andes al
an altitude of 15,645 feet. the highest
point in the world where a piston roo
is moved by steam. This elevation Is
reached in 70 miles.

COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value of the st. Louis Exposi-
tion as an advertising institution and
school of instruction is fully appre-
ciated by the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands OF
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for the better varieties pro-
duced, which now find a market at
home or in England and Germany.
The countries claim as great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to give the public an
object lesson in the use of coffee.
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample better grade of Rio.
Porto Rico also has an extensive
coffee exhibit, with the hope of pro-
noting a larger trade with it's new
mother country.

of gamblers in the New York or the New
Orleans pits" The direct cause of the
depression was the shortage in last
years crops. Within recent years there
has been tendency towards shortage,
and that tendency was last year accentu-
ated Even if there had been no larger
shortage, sooner or later crisis would
have come The producing power of the
world has grown, and the area OF cotton
cultivation has not kept pace with the
growth of the manufacturing capacity
In way the stoppage of the Lanca-
shire mills may in time hurt the price OF
American cotton. England has for some
years been experimenting in small way
with the growing of cotton in its African
dependencies. A small degree of sue
cess has been attained along the west
coast of that continent and also in the
Soudan, but so long as the American
supply kept the spindles going the ex-
periments attracted but little interest
or attention. Now both the manufac-
turers and the working classes are clam
oring for the development of the cotton
resources of Africa. They are calling
the present crisis sharp lesson in ia
tent imperialism" and say that had the
latent cotton-growing resources of the
empire been developed the crisis in the
cotton industry could not have occurred.
Government officials point to the fact
that cotton of good quality has been
grown for centuries in West Africa.
Cotton, too, of a promising quality has
been coming from the Soudan in small
