be employs a corps of shrewd
cruisers to watch his lands, lest
covetous people take unto them
selves portions of these fine
stands of pine, etc.
Among other places where he
has excellent timber is north of
Wilton. Accordinding to Joseph
SchiseI of this city, one of
sRuggles; cruisers, VIM. Foster,
Frank Bogenrief of Wilton and
Guy Welcome, but recently from
East Grand Forks, have been
digging in" to some of Ruggles'
"raw MATERIAL without any
authority from the gentlemen
from Chicago.

cut down standing and growing
timber on Sections 5 and 6, 146
n, Range "a w., belonging to G..
r. Ruggles, without any author
ity, and which was not their

Foster was bound over for ap-
pearance in the sum of $500 and
Bogenrief in the sum Of $500.
Welcome was allowed togo on

claimed to have come from Grand
Forks the day he was arrested
and had simply acted as teamster
and knew nothing as to who was
the owner of the land or the
timber.

ADVERTISING CHAT

The merchant who fails to study
carefully the advertising Of his COM
petitOrs is making serious mistake.
He is like general who in time of
war, takes no trouble to keep inform
ed concerning the enemy's move
ments. An efficient commander
learns all he can about the operations
of the opposing force so as to be 10 a
position to counterfeit them. He has
no thought Of initiating the tactics
Of the opposing general, but wishes to
know what they are, so that he may
meet them effectively by other tactics.
In like manner the merchant should
study the publicly made movements
of his business rivals. He should not
pry into their private affairs, nor
should he initiate their methods.
But he should know all the plans the
others adopt for obtaining publicity
and promoting sales, unless he has
this information he can not plan his
own campaign to the greatest advan-
tage.
To advertise for time and then
stop will not do the trick. The only
reliable plan is to advertise and then
keep on advertising.

CAN'T AFFORD TO READ

The old Bible says: '"There is way
that Seemeth right unto man, but
the end thereof is DEATH" So it is
often in the matter of what we can
afford. Many farmer has starved
bis mind while he was fatteDing his
hogs, and it ended in less and less
power of mind. Here is a thought
from one of our exchanges:
We often meet with this objection
to taking farm papers: II can't afford
it. l take the county paper, and a
city daily and that's all the time can
find to read, and all / can afford to
pay for"
Can't afford it-haven't time. My
what state of affairs! 1t has been
shown by carefully collected statistics
that those who read dairy paper
make enough clear profit from one
cow over the profit that non-readiDg
dairyman makes, to pay for many
papers.
The statistics about reading a dairy
paper that the paper alluded to were
collected by Hoard's Dairyman in the
taking of cow census in Minnesota
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa. Indiana,
Ohio. New York, Pennsylvania, Yer
mont and Connecticut. Nearly fifteen
hundred dairy farmers were visited
and complete census Of the work
of their COWS at the creamery for
year was taken. With each one it was
ascertained if he read a dairy paper or
not. The difference in the profits of
those men who read Hoard's Dairy.
man over those who did not read ran
as high in some cases as six dollars
per COW. There is good reason for
this. The man that is we'll Informed
does better 10 anything than the man
who is not. You can get Hoard's
dairynan for two cents week. Think
of it.. Can you afford not to take it?
Prof. c. l.. Mckay OF the Iowa
College of Agriculture was lecturing
on dairying in California, Oregon and
Washington. He says that he found
everywhere, that the most successful
dairy farmers were readers of HOard's
Dairyman. 1t is so here. 1t Is a
simple thing to write your name
and post Office address plainly on a
slip Of paper, put it 10 an envelope
with a dc liar note and address it to
Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkinson,
Wis. Tryit, and it will do you ten
times the good it costs.

DIR. GEO. NJ. MCINTYRE
SUCCEEDS DR.. WALLACE

DR.. Wallace left for Grand Forks.
Colo, Tuesday morning. While in this
city he has enjoyed good practice as
an Osteopathist and has made many
friends who are sorry to have him
leave. He leaves, however, primarily
for his wife'S health, which has been
very poor since coming to this city.
George M. Mcintyre, D. o., who
succeeds to the practice and office Of
Dr.. Wallace, however, comes to this
city highly recommended from his
former home, Chicago. He has spent
several years in the practice of his
profession. and while in the latter
city he was professor of descriptive
anatomy in the American College of
Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery.
The doctor is genial and pleasant
man to meet with. and the people OF
this city will give him a hearty well
come.

ELECTED NEW DIRECTOR
E. W. Ellis. OF the Stange.Ellis
Lumber Co., Made Director Of
First National Bank.

The stock holders of the First Ma
tional Bank held their annual meet
ing at the bank Jan. g., and
transacted business of unusual i'm
portance.
The most important item in the
evenings session was the change of
the articles of association, so as to
permit of the increase of the number
of directors from five to seven. E. w.
Ellis, of the STANCE Ellis Lumber Co.
was elected as one of the new direc-
tors, and Cashier Earl Pease was
elected as the other.
The association of Mr.. Ellis and
Mr.. PeaSe on the directorate is con-
sidered valuable. Mr.. Ellis represents
large financial interest not only Of
his city but also Of Merrill, and MIR.
PeaSe has demonstrated in the short
period of his residence in this city,
that his Judgment in financial and
banking affairs is sound and conserva.
tive. The other directors elected
were: Geo. W. Mead, Edw. Lynch,
Isaac Witter, w. J. Conway and DR..
Frank Pomainville.

a stranger to the people of this city,
having lectured here about six years
ago. He is known to a greater num-
Der, however, through his book, "The
Evolution of Dodd", and the friend
ship thus formed, was happily ex-
planned by Prof. Jackson, who intro
duced the speaker, when he said that
one of the two ways to form friend
ships is through the authorship of
books. In this way many people have
become the friends of Mr.. Smith.
1t would be a useless waste of words
to attempt to depict the happy, easy
manner of Mr.. Smith, as he talked to
the people at the church Mon
evening. AS he CONT n u u S | y
advised his hearers to emulate,
he just acted natural. Still
suffering from his recent illness he
was compelled at times to sit down
while talking, but even this did not
disturb the interest of the audience,
for they were listening to what the
speaker bad to say.
Something Left Over" was the
topic which Mr.. Smith took for his
subject; and he expressed, by way OF
introduction, that he would feel that
his effort was not all in vain if there
was but some little thing left over
from his remarks, for the nearer to
think about.
His readings from the poems OF
James Whitcomb Reilly, whom the
speaker described as the ''poet of the
common people," and the only ''truly
American poet" were well received,
and opened up to the minds OF the
hearers truer and different cOncep-
tion of the beauty and helpfulness OF
the Hoosier poet.
To appreciate Mr.. Smith, one must
see and hear him. Words of deScrip-
tion fail to impart the good, that
the speaker desired to ''Leave Over,
so in closing let US say, that the num-
Der last evening was probably the
very best number on the entertain
ment course so far. The lecture was
certainly an intellectual treat one
rarely enjoys.

DAILY HERE TO STAY

We are free to admit that the
DAILY REPORTER is not yet paying
proposition, but it's publication is in
tereSting because we believe that the
citizens of Grand Rapids appreciate it,
and in time we hope to make it pay
financially.
We entered into its publication re-
luctantly in conjunction with w. r.
Jaeger, of Wausau, who had made
certain representations to us as to
his ability to manage a daily enter
prise, and as to what he could do per-
sonally and how cheaply he could run
it. While he was a complete disap-
pointment to US, at the end of the
first month we settled with him, and
since then, with the assistance of ID.
Edward Thompson, as editor, and A.
f. Dretske, as advertising manager,
we have been straining every effort to
give the people of Grand Rapids as
good daily paper as the facilities at
hand would warrant. 1t shall be our
constant aim to make the DAILY RE-
PORTER even better than it is at the
present time, for we believe the
citizens of Grand Rapids appreciate
the daily issue of the REPORTER and
the progressive spirit manifested by
the citizens of Grand Rapids, we be-
lieve, entities them to daily news
paper, and in time they will give it
sufficient financial support, to make
the enterprise pay.
We are therefor pleased to announce
that we shall stick to the publication
of the DAILY REPORTER until we
make it a permanent and financial
success. We ask the progressive
citizens of Grand Rapids to favor it
and give it such support as their good
judgment will warrant. 10

MRS. EDDY'S REPLY TO THE
JANUARY McCL URE ARTICLE

1t is calumny on Christian Science to
say that man is aroused to thought or
action only by ease, pleasure, or recon-
penSe. Something higher, nObler,
more imperative, impelS the impulse
of Soul.
1t becomes my duty to be just to the
departed and to tread not ruthleSSly
on their ashes. The attack on me and
my late father and his family in Nc
Clure's Magazine. January. 1907, COM
pels me as dutiful child and the
Leader OF Christian Science to speak.
McClure's Magazine refers to my
fathers stall, CANT Frame" and pic
lures "the old man tramping doggedly
along the highway regularly beating
the ground with huge walking-Stick."
My fathers person was erect and rO-
bust. He never used a walking-stick.
To illustrate: One time when my
father was visiting Governor Pierce,
President Franklin Pierce'S father, the
Governor handed him a goldheaded
walking-stick as they were ABOUT to
start for church. Ny father thanked
the Governor, but declined to accept
the stick. saying. 81 never use cane"
Although McClure's Magazine at
tributes to my father language un-
seemly, his household law, constantly
enforced, was no profanity and no
slang phrases. McClure's Magazine
also declares that the Bible was the
only book 10 his house. On the con-
trary, my father was a great reader.
The man, whom McClure's Magazine
characterizes as Ignorant, dominat-
ing, passionate, fearless" was uni-
fOrmly dignified--a well-infOrmed,
intellectual man, cultivated in mind
and manners. He was called upon to do
much business for his towp, making
out deeds, settling quarrels, and even
acting as council ip lawsuit involv-
ing question of pauperism between
the towns of London and Bow, N. II.
Franklin Pierce. afterWard President
Of the United States, was the counsel
for London and Mark Baker for Bow.
Both entered their pleas. and my
father won the suit. After it was de-
cided, Mr.. Pierce bowed to my father
and congratulated him. For several
years, father was chaplain of the New
Hampshire State Militia and as / recol-
lect it, he was Justice of the Peace at
one time. My father was strong be-
lever in States Rights, but slavery he
regarded as great sin.
Mark Baker was the youngest OF his
fathers family, and inherited his
fathers real estate, an extensive farm
situated in Bow and Concord, n. III.
1t is on record that Mark Bakers
father paid the largest tax 10 the COL
Ony.
