The Republicans carried Maine
week before last by reduced ma
jority, e1ecting their entire state ticket,
preponderance of both branches OF
the legislature and all four of the
congressman. The fight of the ma
tional labor organizations against
Congressman Littlefeld combined with
disturbing local issues to greatly re-
duce his usual majority, but he pulled
through comfortably with over 1000
votes to spare. There were consider
able Democratic gains in Maine, but
no material Republican losses, and
We see nothing in the outcome TO war

victory In the congressional elections

Chew What You Know About and
Know What You Are Chewing

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown-where the
best tobacco grows-in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections Of this
well-nlatured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
sCHNAPPs. That's why sCHNAPPs
and others of the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, Or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption Of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
tf1efavor and they cheer sCHNAPPs
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews
sCHNAPPs passes the good thing
along-one c11eWer makes other
chewers- until the fact is now es-
tab1ished that there are many more

chewers and pounds of tobacco
cl1ewed, to the population, in those
States where sCHNAPPs tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where sCE4NAPPs has not
yet been offered to the trade.
sCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweeter1ed just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. sCHNAPPs p1eases ali
classes Of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find Ia chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, slim
ulating flavor SO appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sWeetening than
SCHNAPPs They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp-
erlY cured.
For the man who cf1ews tobacco
for tobacco S sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.

Hunters are Glad
Over PROSPECTS

Local hunters are overhauling
their guns and equipment pre-
pafatory to the open season,
which comes id September, and
from all reports chickens ais well
as ducks will be plentiful this
season. 5ls3 Es
w Phillips Of Croo kston, who
was here last w ednesdayss and is
one Of the best known sportsnnen
in the Red River valley, stated
ITO the writer that the ducks this
year would be more plentiful
than last and that he looked for
a splendid season for hunters iii
the fields and at the lakes. ri
Mr. Phillips lost a very Valu-
able bird dog last week which
cost him $3.50, and he has seat
out word to the authorities and
around the valley to keep an eye
open for anyone having a dog of
his description with him. IE is
his opinion that the canine was
stolen by a band Of horse traders
who were camped near Crook
.sGon not long ago.
The annual field trials for
dogs will be held at Grand
Forks early in September and
prizes awarded to the best hunt
.ers and retreivers. This event
brings into the valley some Of
the prize winning eaninea from
all over the northwest and is
looked forward to with much
interest By sportsrne nen.

SOLICITING COMMITTEE
is MAKING PROGRESS

The committee charged with the
task of raising the $4,000 bonus for
the electric railway is getting along
very well. all things considered. but
have not yet by any means secured
the requisite amount OF money.
The members OF the committee are
all business men and have their own
affairs to look after and 1t is impos-
sible for them to give their. whole
time to the work OF canvassing for
subscriptions. which makes 1t a slow
proposition
Everybody that wants to have the
electric railway to the top OF the
Gorge, and that includes all OF the
population, should help boost the bon
us up to the necessary figure by sub
scribing to the fund the committee Is
trying to raise. BY a long pull, a
strong pull, pull altogether, we can
