"On Parole

Not a few people will appreciate the
sense of humor in the following Incl
dent occurring in the earlier life of
Willard Mack. who is starring in ION
Parole" appearing at the Colonial the
atre the weeking starting Sunday,
Dec. s.
At the beginning of his stage career
Mr.. Mack essayed to break into the
profession, as ii were, by calling upon
a certain manager whom he believed
would give him announcement. He
was doomed to disappointment. for the
theatrical man-after listening TO the
youthful would-be Thespian tell of his
hopes-,ried to dissuade him from fol.
lowing his natural bent, in the follow
ing characteristic words: You will
find ii a most unhappy lot my boy; 1t
is like wearing a high collar-you al
ways try and smile and look happy,
while the pesky thing Is CALLING the
life out of you"
Mack thanked him, but continued to
see other managers. His experiences

and discouraged. but still determined
to win. he again Yentured to call upon
the manager who had illustrated with
the collar. He was greeted with

garding an engagement" Nothing
very favorable, as YET sadly replled
the young aspirant. In fact" he con-
tinued Il am wearing the turn down
style of collar just now, and / guess it
hurts quite as much as the other" Mr.
Mack has always maintained that il
was due TO the fact that he made that
manager laugh. and not because of his
personality, that he was given a trial
and remained with his collar man
ager' for three seasons. Be that as il
may, Mr.. Mack has steadily advanced
by unencouraging efforts, until he now
holds a most enjoyable position as d
star.

Most cultivated soils possess q slight
" acid reaction. This is generally due
to decomposition Of the remains Of
plants in the soil forming organic
acids. On wet soils this condition is
more noticeable than on dry soils.
The sour humus and organic acids
are not only ~unfavorable to the growth
Of multiplying ferments and the root
tubercles of leguminous plants, but
also are likely to dissolve iron and
other compounds which are poisonous
to microbes and crops. Water culture
experiments have shown that slightly
acid solutions are favorable to the
growth of plants, and, while most soils
possess this character to a slight de-
gree, yet any excess Of soluble acid
in the soil would be highly detrimental.
While most of our cultivated crops
seem to need a slight acidity, it is
probable that they have the ability to
create this condition to a sufficient de-
gree through the medium Of the selu-
ton sent out by their roots. This be-
ing the case, it would e that the
aim should be to keep soils in a neu-
trail or slightly alkaline condition SO as
to favor the growth Of root tubercles
Of the legumes and the desirable soil
ferments.
Lining is excellent for correcting
any excess Of acidity and is probably
the most effective and economical sub.
stance for bringing about these other
desirable conditions.-H. ]. Patterson.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN COUNTY
AND VILLAGE OF WASHBURN
FRIDAY APRIL 3, 1908.

The harvester trust is making {
great effort to show that it is {
public benefactor. When Senator
Hansbrough made an attack upor
it and exposed its methods Of
dealing with the farmers of the
country the trust made haste te
purchase space in a magazine anc
to put an article therein showing
the wonderful things that had been
accomplished by the men who had
invented the knotting machine and
other parts Of the modern binder
All this is very beautiful to read
but we must not lose sight of the
fact that quite all of the men who
engaged in the enterprise of build.
ing up the modern binder made
themselves wealthy and famous
and yet that does not furnish any
reason why the present managers
Of the monopolistic harvester com
pany should be allowed to levy
tribute upon the farmers Of the
county to the extent O f$l6O apiece
as against $500 apiece before the
trust was organized. The trust
claims that the increased price of
labor and material has compelled
them to charge higher prices for
their binders. If this is true Why
is it that a first class sewing ma
chine can be had for $40 today
that cost $50 to $50 twenty-five
years ago. The fact is the har-
vester trust promised when it went
into a combination for the purpose
Of forming a monopoly in farm
machinery to reduce these articles
to the farmer. Instead of reducing
their prices they have increased
them more than 500, and we hope
that Senator Hansbrough will get
results, and we believe he will,
and bring this monopoly into a
court Of justice and destroy it.
We also hope the people Of North
Dakota will support the Senator
and his efforts to destroy this
monopoly and rebuke the harvest
er trust candidates, including Mr..
Little of Bismarck, who is running
over the state asking for support.

Alex. Mckenzie
IicutenantS are
Here In Force

Why are the corporation inter-
ests moving heaven and earth to
defeat Senator Hansbrough in
Ramsey county? That is the ques-
tion which the voters of this coun-
ty are asking themselves.
Lee Pettibone of the Merchants
Hotel, st. Paul, the personal re-
preventative of Alex Mckenzie;
John Alger, corporation politician
and U. S. Marshall Jim Shea, an
other henchman of Mckenzie were
in Devils Lake yesterday and some
of them are still here, the object
Of their visit being to aid with
their skill as crafty politicians, the
wholesale expenditure of money
and the liberal distribution of
Great Northern milage books in
controlling the delegation from
this county in the interest of the
Mckenzie machine.
Local politicians are amazed at
the offers for votes which have
been made at the repub-
lican caucuses, and if the prices
offered in other counties are the
same as they are here it is said the
present campaign will cost the in
terests furnishing the money not
less than a hundred thousand dol
lars.
There is a disposition among To-
cal politicians, even some of those
who are opposed to Senator Hans
brough to resent the interference
of such pronounced corporation
representatives as those above
mentioned, and those who have
heretofore taken at more OF less
discount the story that corporation
interests, particularly the Inter-
national Harvester company and
the Standard Oil crowd. were de-
termined to put Hansbrough down
and out, are now convinced that
there is something in the story.
Without regard Ito politics the
citizens of Devils Lake feel very
kindly toward Senator Hansbrough
for the many things he has done
for Devils Lake. particularly in
securing the public building, and
the fact that it is a great advant-
age to a town to be known as the
home of a United States senators
appeals strongly to local pride,
and there are indications that if
the machine succeeds in their
plans in this county they will pay
a mighty high price for the goods
