ONE FOR THE "KNOCKER."

Occasionally one finds a person so
lacking in the principle of loyalty to
this section of the country as to
actually knock" our fertile acres,
claiming we cannot successfully
raise agricultural products. The
following, taken from the Pine River
Sentinel, is applicable to all such
disloyal persons:
When you hear the knocker
knocking this section of Minnesota,
just ask him where he can find soil
that will grow clover and all tame
grasses as we do here.
Ask him where he can raise
more potatoes per acre or better
ones.
Ask him the particular spot on
Gods green earth that can comrete
with US in raising vegetables.
Ask him where the climate is any
healthier or where purer water car
be found.
Ask him where he can 20 and
find a better class of people who
consider schools and churches first
and provide them in a new country
as has been done here.
Then if you wish to rub it in just
ask him how much good he has
ever been to any community and il
there is any spot on earth that the
Almighty has seen fit TO fix up tc
suit him.
It's twenty to one shot he will
not be able to answer one quiz o.
the bunch intelligently, and if he
could he wouldn't do it."

HELPFUL HINTS ON
HAIR HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carlessness.

. = i - 3 .t@H : ~ : & 81 : 80
Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by a mlcrobe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use comb
or brush belonging to someone else.
No matter how Clearly the owner
may be, these articles may be in
fected with microbes, which will
infect your scalp. It is far easier to
catch hair microbes than it is to get
rid of them, and. single stroke Of
an infected comb or brush may well
lead to badness. Never try on any
body else's hat. Many a hat-band
is resting place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruA, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness, we have remedy which
we believe will completely relieve
these troubles. We, are so sure of
this that we offer it to you with the
understanding that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we claim. This
remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to be
the most scientific remedy for
scalp and hair troubles, and we
know of nothing else that equals it
for effectiveness, because of the
results it has produced in thousands
of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is de-
vised to Danish dandruf, restore
natural color when its loss has been
brought about by disease, and make
the hair naturally silky, soft and
glossy. It does this because it
stimulates the hair follicles, destroys
the germ matter, and brings about a
free, healthy circulation of blood,
which nourishes the hair roots,
causing them to tighten and grow
| new hair. We want everybody who
has any trouble with hair or scalp
to know that Rexall "93" Hal,
Tonic is the best hair tonic and
restorative in existence, and no one
should scott at or doubt this state
ment until they have put our claims
to a fair test, with the understand.
ing that they pay us nothing for the
remedy if it does not give full and
complete satisfaction in every par

SuBScRIPTIoN---s5.Oo PER YEARIH ADVANCE
NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE A CRiTERIAN OF
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE OF ANY
COMMUNITY.

The subjoined article, taken from
the Frazee Free Press, contains some
very interesting points concerning
patronage of the home newspaper
that should be read by every bust
ness man in this section of the state.
The reference to lack of patronage
of the local paper having depress-
ing effect upon persons looking up
the business enterprise of any COM
mnnity is a truthful statement; and
certain portions of the article mi ght
be applied with all sincereity to
some of the business men of Bemidj j.,
whose patronage of the two local
papers is an exceedingly small item
in their yearly expense.
Says the Free Press, relative to
Frazee business men:
The Free Press is the only rep
resentative that this village and
community has got to advertise it.
self in a commercial way and out
siders who see ana read the paper
certainly cannot form a very good
opinion of the place considering the
number of business advertisements
that appear in it's columns.
There are papers that come to
the editors desk as exchanges pub
lished in towns of three hundred to
five hundred inhabitants the columns
of which are filled with advertise
ments of every line of business in
the place and the impression that is
conveyed to their readers cannot
help but to be favorable.
One would think that the towns
wherein these papers are published
contained as many thousands in
stead of hundreds of people. Our
business men who have the best in.
terest of Frazee at heart cannot
help but to realize the impression
that the readers of this paper have
of this village.
We boast of fifteen hundred
people but to judge by advertise
ments in this paper one would
think that we had only about one
hundred and fifty"
