Twenty shooters faced the traps at
the weekly shoot Of the Minneapolis

until the last Saturday in August the
club looks for a good attenance of

their eyes lined up for the featherd
game.
Several of the clubs best shots were
missed. The Indian tournament at

Crookston, Mimi, Aug 11.-Local
sportsmen are preparing. for one of the
best shooting seasons in this section
for many years, and there is consider
able activity in getting in shape for
Sept: l, when the season starts. Guns
are being put in frst-class condition,
ammunition is coming, to the city in
immense quantities and dogs are being
trained for work in the field. There is
no doubt but that the first few days of
the season will see an awful slaughter
fowls of all kinds.
The conditions this year for plenty
of birds have been just about right and
all indications pointSt to a big season.
Within few miles of this city at the
present time prairie chickens are plentli;-
is reported, the prairies are literally
covered with them. Ducks cover
every available piece of water in this
section, and an authority who has
spent the past week in and about
Crookston, says that never in all his
experience has he seen SO many NAL
lards as he beheld the past few days
within an hours. walk Of this city. He
asserts that millions of them cover the
small lakes and sloughs and there
would be but little trouble in bagging
| a wagon load in few hours. The
birds are tame, owing to the strict en-
forcement Of the game law this sea-
son, and the opening days Of September
| will see an army of hunters and many
thousand pounds Of game killed.
Special care and protection is being
given dogs this year. and every atten-
| tion is extended toward them to assure
their owners their, service when the
season opens. In past years number
Of the best dogs have been stolen and
shipped-to other portions tS}the state
and adjacent states. Sporrsmen, how
ever, are too watchful this year to be
placed in that predicament and there is
no doubt but that it would go hard
with anyone who SHOULD attempt the
larceny of dog in this section, for at
this time Of the year dog stealing is as
serious crime as horse stealing.
A large lumber Of local parties have
| been made up for the opening days
sport, and the hotels are receiving
orders for rooms already. It is ex-
pected that sportsmen from all over the
state will make this their Mecca, but
competent authorities assert that game
will be plentiful for all who may wish
to hunt in this section.

In 1913 she married Isaac Pinlham.
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in n physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained n won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics OF the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took n great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides IN the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
OF the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
IL was her pleasure TO search these out,
and prepare simple and effective mcdi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief Of these was n rare combina.

Lydia f. Pinkham herself did not

With Lydia II. Pinkham worked her

for years she assisted her in her vast

To her hands naturally fell the
