Do you wear
leather shoes?

SELF shoes, all of them, are made of leather;
this doesn't mean part paper or cardboard;
it means leather, good leather.
There's one sure way to tell by the looks,
if shoe is all good leather. Look on the
sole; if you find the name SELF you needn't
look for cardboard in the soles or counters;
it isn't there.
Ofcourse you can tell by wearing them,
or by cutting into them; but finding SELF
on the sole is much quicker and doesn't cost
anything 1t saves you money.
SELF Royal Blue and Perfecto shoes are
best leather, best workmanship, foot comfort,
durability, economy. We sell them.

AS to roughness, the new Rugby
game of football does not have much
advantage over the old game. In man..
ways It is as rough, if not rougher
There is no interference in Rugby and
tackling must be done in the open,
where the greatest danger exists. In
passing the ball, however, the spec

Is more spectacular in all ways.

WORK OF FREEZING OUT BEGINS
Redwood Rural Telephone Com.
pany in Trouble.

There seems to be trouble in the tele-
phone camp in Redwood county. Either
the managers Of the rural lines in that
county have been at the business long
enough to see that it is not the snap
they expected or else they have not the
easy sailing that seems to be in favor
OF the local company. At any rate the
few men who have secured control Of
the bulk of the stock have thrown
down gauntlet and have served notice
on the small stockholders that they
will either have to buy or sell. A. C.
Miller has served notice that after the
lst OF July he will no longer act as
secretary and will enter the employ
ment of one of the telephone manu-
featuring concerns and will be on the
road selling its intruments. The Red
wood Gazette of last week has the fol-
lowing:
At the special meeting they will tell
the small stockholders that they have
but two alternatives either sell
their shares or buy the stock held by
the big stockho lders. In case the heavy
sharehol ders succeed in forcing the one
and two shareholders to sell out their
interests they propose to reorganize
the company and place the same on
what they call a business basis. The
principal feature of this business basis
is to have each share of stock counted
for one vote at meeting of the stock
holders, a feature now eliminated from
the present company. In case the small
shareholders decide to buy out the
larger holders, as represented on the
directory, the larger shareholders say
that they will turn over their stock
cheerfully, and will gladly retire from
the management of the company.
The big shareholders, in case they
freeze out the smaller holders, will un-
doubtedly adopt the share a vote
system, and are also likely to raise the
phone rentals, as the company has
been unable to make any money on the
Investment, under the present system
and on Aug. 18th next there will be 8
heavy interest to pay on the bond issue
/ OF a year ago. In addition dividend
was declared about year ago, but the
officers claim that they have no funds
from which to liquidate the dividends
and there is dissatisfaction among thu
Investing stockholders. That the meet
ing on June 10th will be an interesting
one there is no doubt.

TOW MILLS BEING ESTABLISHED
Commercial Club Of GraceviIIe Goes
After One.

AS a result of the flax Irvine industry
which is to be started in Minneapolis,
there are b number of tow mills being
planted in various parts of the state.
These mills are calculated to consume
all Of the fax straw that is produced
in their vicinity and to give employ
ment tc, a number of men. Itmight not
be a bad plan for the Commercial
UnioA Of this city to take the matter
up ard see what there is to it.
The. commercial club of Graceville
has secured mill of this kind for that
city through the intervention of Hon.
=. r. Hickey of ST. Paul under the fol-
lowing conditions:
The company agrees to put in mill
here which will handle 5000 tons of
fax straw per year, employing 10 men,
and agrees to pay from $3.50 to S3.sQ
per ton for straw and manufacturing
tow only, if the lease of site for 5
years be given them, the city water be
brought to their building, half their
water rent paid for the first year and
80 tons of fax straw donated to them
by 20 or more farmers.
These terms were accepted by the
club and a representative of the COM
pany will be here in the immediate
future to select a site and arrange for
the installation of the machinery so
the mill can commence operations this
fall.
The minimum price guaranteed to be
paid, $3.50 per ton, is SO cents per ton
higher than that paid at Wheaton and
is as high as is generally paid any
where. The Commercial Club is de-
serving of great credit for their prompt
action in getting this mill here, which
cannot fail to greatly benefit the town
and the surrounding. country.

John Brown the manager for the J..
4. Case Implement Co. in the Argen-
tine country, in speaking Of the price
of farm machinery in his country and
here says that it is far cheaper here
than there. It has been said that
American made machinery sold in
those foreign places are cheaper than
It could be bought here, but he says
that this is all wrong. There is no
tariff on farm machinery in the Argen-
tine country but the freight from New
York to. that place is very high and
this is added to the price of the Ameri-
can goods. It takes more than a
month to make the trip from New FORK
to the Argentine ports.

COUNTY CONVENTION TODAY
Meeting Of Republicans to Elect
Delegates.
Meeting to be Held in Turner Hall
at 1880 O'Clock.
Brown County Delegation Will
Probably Not be Instructed.

The County convention for the pur-
pose of electing delegate to the state
convention which is to be held in Du-
luth on the 18th of this month, will be
in session this city at Turner hall this
afternoon beginning at 4:30 o'clock.
Delegates for this convention were cleo
ted at the primaries throughout the
county on Saturday evening.
It is thought that there will be very
little interest in the convention this
year. It is anticipated that the dele
gation which is elected to represent the
county in the convention will be favor
able to both Somerville and Vogel.
The nomination of a governor will
be the first thing done by the state con-
served. and if it should transpire in
the shuttle that Mr.. Somerville should
fail to land the nomination then the
strength of the delegation will 90 to
the support of Mr.. Vogel. It is felt
that Brown county is entitled to some
thing out of the convention.
For this reason it is believed that
the, delegation will 60 to the conven-
tod 'uninstructed, and will be at the
disposal of the two men who are seek
ng Office from this county. Under the
uling of the state committee the COIN
is entitled tc puJ eleven delegates
lis year, which is one less thanit had
20 years ago, but it is doubtful if
ere viii be eleven men at this time
Of the year who will be willing to.
spend the time and money necessary
to make the trip to Duluth and stay
there until the convention closes.
If there was as much apathy through
out the county in regard to the attend
ance Of the primaries as there was in
this city there will be many of the pre-
cincts that will not be represented. In
the three caucuses in this city there
was a representation of some thirty
eight votes for the twenty-one dele
gates nominated.
If the convention is ullthere should
be ninety-two delegates present, but it
is doubtful if there will be half that
number present.

COUNCIL LAYS OVER OLD PETITION
Question Of Closing Must Wait For
Future.

At the meeting Of the council last
evening the petition that was filed by
some of the saloon keepers requesting
the city authorities to enforce the
closing law relating to saloons, was
brought up at the meeting of the coun-
Gil last night and the matter was laid
over until some future meeting, which
will naturally have a tendency to make
the plea OF no avail.
There was very little of Importance
done at the meeting last night. The
question of grading and otherwise inn,
proving Franklin street came up and
upon the recommended Of the board
of public works it was decided that for
the present nothing should be done in.
the matter.
As the revenue laws require that
brewers OF beer transported across a.
highway to the bottling works, the
ScheH Brewing Co., in order to com
ply with the law gave to the city a
strip twelve feet wide which will be
constituted one Of the streets Of the
city.
Lowell & Co. the firm that has the
sewer contract was given an extension
OF time until the 1st Of July in which
to finish the work they have under
taken.
The matter Of the sanitary condition
Of the drinking fountain was brought
up and discussed to some extent and
was finally disposed Of by dropping
the matter.
Mayor Silverson appointed Klause;
Tauer and Weissenborn as police for
the city for the next two years, and the
lclerk reported that the condition OF the
lefty treasury was in excellent shape.
