JUST A GENTLE REMINDER

When the postoffice depart
ment issued it's order forbidding
publishers of weekly newspapers
the use of the second class post
age rates for delinquent subscrib-
ers, the rule was to go into effect
Jan. 1, but at the solicitation of
publishers the time was extend
ed to March 81. That date is
less then two weeks distant. Will
you see that your subscription
is payed THIS MONTH? The
Herald cannot afford to put a
one cent stamp on every paper
sent to delinquents, neither does
it want to cut them from the list
but it will be compelled to do SO
if arrearages are not settled by
March 81.

argument for a very long time
with frequent repetition. "Mr.

said that before" Have |, my

ally. Il am very sorry; | forgot

judicial response; 1T was so very

An American lawyer, who
seemed unable to arrive at the

ventured to express a fear that he
was taking up too much time:
"Oh, never mind time" observed
the Judge, "but for goodness sake,
do not trench upon eternity.

Continuous Indian Dance.

The Cheyenne and Araphoes
are holding their annual squaw
dance at this place.
More than 5000 Indians are en-
camped at the city park. The
dance is a continuous one day and
night, and will last for several
days. The bucks and squaws all
take part in these festivities, and
the little ones can be seen imi-
tating their elders by dancing
around at the time the tomtom is
pounded.
The garments worn by some OF
the tribe are things of beauty, be-
decked as they are with feathers,
beads and other ornaments. Some
have bells on their wrists and an
kles, and the movements made by
them seem to be for the purpose
of getting as much noise as posi-
BILE out of iksse things.

prove his statement.

The use of electricity in culti-
waiting farm and garden products
is not new, but it has made con-
siderable progress in recent years.
One method of experiment, says
the Ohio Magazine, has been to
stretch a wire netting across a
field high enough not to touch
the growing plants and circulate
through it an electrical current.
In other experiments the soil has
been electrified by wires under
rand arouHd the roots.
By the former methodit is said
that strawberries attained, an in
creased product of from soto I88
per cent, corn from IS to 90 per
cent. and other porducts in pro-
portion.
1t is claimed that an average
increase of As per cent could be
obtained with substantially all
crops on fertile land by the cleo
trio treatment.

CAT-LIKE MAN.
How He Does Love to Play With
Toke.

The problem whether women
have any sense of humor has
vexed mankind for generations,
says a well-known raconteur. 1t
is unfortunately true that they
seldom laugh readily at our jokes,
and are inclined to tell us not to
"be silly" when we play airlly
with a subject.
But this may be due to a too
keen sense of humor. We may
not be up to their form. Our
jokes (forsooth) may not be good
enough! But no matter! We re-
venge ourselves for thi shy telling
women that they do not know a
good thing when they see one,
and that, though, when pain and
anguish rack the brow they may
be ministering angels, they are
not the audience we should
choose for our finest flights of
whimsicality.
A writer in monthly magazine
himself humorist, extra sec, Of
wide reputation, thinks that he
sees signs of an Improvement in
this state of affairs. "Womens S
sense of humor," he says, has in
creased in recent y ears. They
see Jokes more readily than they
used to. This is due to the fact
that they look their best when
they are smiling" There is no
reason whatever why humorists
should not be welcome in every
drawing room. Men capable of
telling good story, or working
up to pleasant epigram, will be
the center of attraction. The mill
tary, the musicians and the Glib
son men will be among the also
rams.

THE DULUTH AIR LINE

The Minneapolis Journal of
March 13 prints the following in
it's editorial columns:
For year the hackers of the
Twin City and Lake Superior ell
ectric line project have been
using the advertising columns of
The Journal in soliciting the in
vesting public's support. The
publicity given to the enterprise
has naturally given rise to the
questions: Is it a feasible pro-
ject on a bona fide basis, and are
all responsible safeguards given
to investors? To answer these
questions, Fred H. Wendell, of
Wendell & Greene, the Mime
apolis public accountants, has
just completed a thorough exam
ination of the books of the COM
pany. 1t was in the belief that
a new short line to the head OF
the lakes, operated by electricity
would, if realized, be a good
thing, and that the public was
entitled to an impartial and ex-
pert examination of the enter
prise in question, that The Jour
nal commissioned Mr.. Wendell
to undertake the task. He was
selected because of his we'll
known qualifications for the work
and because his standing in the
community insured his reporting
the facts exactly as he found
them.
'Mr. Wendell has completedhis
examination, and made his re
port to The Journal. He findssub-
stantially that the project is wise
ly conceived and logically laid
out; that the company's affairs
have been economically admins
tered in the interests of the ind
ividual investors; that every fac
ility was afforded him for a
thorough examination, and that
there is not and has not been
any opportunity or disposition
for stockjobbing on the part of
the officers. After this thorough
examination, Mr.. Wendell de-
clares that he would not have
the slightest hesitation in invest
ing his own money in the pro-
ject."
Inasmuch as this paper has
been carrying this company's
advertising and is doubtless re-
sponsible for purchases Of the
company's stock from time to
time, The Herald reproduces this
article for the purpose of reas-
suring the more skeptical that
confidence in the completion of
the enterprise is in no sense mis-
placed.
