Discouraged With Canada.
White Hawk, Sask, Feb. 9, 1911,

Editor Willmar Tribune: l
did not think when I left my good
home in tennessee, for the Golden
West of Canada that l should come
in such pinched conditions, as !
have been the last two years. The
first two years here, was cold and
disagreeable and early frost de-
stroyed the biggest part of the
crop. Last summer was warmer
and more promising, but hail and
smut cut down my grain, so that
the yield was very light. With the
small price we have here on grain,
and the long distance we have to
market, it leaves very little for the
support of big family, and other
necessary expenses.
We like the Tribune very much.
It is my intention to sell my
holdings here, as soon as / can,
without too much sacrifice, and move
back to my fathers farm in Gennes-
see. have had enough of Canada
and would he very pleasde, t. get
out with as much cash as l came in,
but have very little hope of doing
that. I do not think one out of ten
of those who cross the border-line
is successful, or finds it as he ex-
poets it, after a few years trial.
The great amount of u. S. citizens
going back again after proving up
the homestead, proves that but of
course this is a great country for
the dishonest schemers, and lying
land agents. The government, the
railroads, and the land syndicates
is yearly spending millions for
glowing misrepresentive ADVERTISE
ments. The country is full of SUBJ
agents, settlers ministers, and peo-
pie of all kinds, ready to aid the
land agents when they bring their
victims from the states, and these
people make money in Canada, even
when the grain freezes out.
Yours Respectfully,
I. S. Saupmvhr.

We have noticed that the Will.
mar Tribune quotes quite frequent
" from Senator L-aFollette, who is
an extreme insurgent. Now that
man LaFoIlette plays the political
game as hard as anybody. He fire.
quently puts up "straw-men" to
fight FOX the sake OF attracting at
tention and thus gain popularity.
I'VE know of one man here at home
who uses the telephone question for
similar purposes. )-Republican-Ga Ga
zette.
We'll, why don't you give his
name? He must be dandy to
merit comparison with LaFollette.
You might specify one single in.
stance in which LaFollette has been
'stringing' the people. You say
he has frequently been in the habit
of making fake fights, and therefore
it is not asking too much of you to
name one such instance. We defy
you to do it. Here we are, defend.
ing Republican," That ought to
help our standing as an indepen.
dent, even with the Gazette.

THE DUTY ON HIDES.

BY the way. Mr.. Lawson, hides
were placed on the free list-how
much cheaper are the leather goods
now than before?-Willmar Repub-
lican- Gazette.
From all | have been able to learn
from dealers leather goods have ad-
vanced about 10 per cent since the
"honest attempt at revision down.
wards' went into effect. The above
clipping very forcibly illustrates the
ignorance or willful Juggling Of the
apologist for the Atdrich tariff.
The tariff on hides was Is per cent
under the old schedule, and as the
average value of hides imported is
15.4 cents per pound, this would
mean that the leather manufacture
ers have saved two cents pound on
all the raw hides they have impor-
ted since the new tariff went into
effect. But the protection accor-
ded them on the manufactured goods
is still so high as to enable them not
only to keep the small change Sc
cured thru the reduction on the raw
material, but to make a substan-
tial raise on their former high pri-
ces for their goods that they sell to
the public.
We suppose that the leather sched-
ule is sample of what the Gazette
considers an honest and not over
jealous revision downwards-
duce the raw material in a pair of
shoes three or four cents and then
lie back and expect highly pamp-
cred manufacturer to pass on the
benefit by Il substantial reduIt ton in
shoes.

II HANDICAPPED
This is The Case With Many Will.
mar People.

Too many citizens are handicapped
with bad back. The unceasing
pain causes constant misery, max
ing work a burden and STOPPING
or lifting an impossibility. The
back aches at night: preventing re-
freshing rest and in the morning is
stiff and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
Can you doubt Willmar evidence?
j. H. Taylor, 314 Lake Ave. Will
mar, Mimi, says: II was troubled
by disordered kidneys for about two
years. l work in an office and am
Obliged to sit in one position for a
long time which was no doubt the
cause of my kidney trouble. My
back ached constantly and I was
subject to dizzy spells. | was also
annoyed by irregular passages of
the kidney secretions and was de.
void Of ambition. I finally pro.

and in consequence were quite VAL
liable for posts, and will become
more so for timber as the years
move on. The grove grew on an
edge Of what had at one time been
a shallow lake. The impulse with
many would have been to cut this
grove down, or large portion of
it. with view to cultivating the
land. In prairie sections, especial
ly, these groves should be carefully
preserved. In rare instances should
they be cut down. In coming days
the posts they furnish and also the
shelter for live stock will be valu-
able. These acres can be spared
for such uses.-Prof. Thomas

When manager c.. P. Walker
completed arrangements whereby
he secured the famous English
Players for a tour of the west in
"As You Like IT, he insisted upon
especially engaging VIM. Yule for
the difficult role of Touchstone.
Mr.. Yule is one of the most popular
comedians that ever faced an audi

Walker he has no equal as the mer-
ry jester in hakespear's delightful
comedy. Mr.. Yule has played
Touchstone in the New York pro-

in that most critical of all cities

The prices of the necessaries of
life have increased in this country
34.3 per cent since 1896, while in
England they have increased only
IT. per cent in the same time. That
probably marks the extent to which
the increase of prices are caused by
the increased production of gold
and what is caused by the abnormal
control of prices by reason of the
highest of all tariff walls.

Dad, Here's to You!
A TOAST TO THE GRAND OLD MAN.

We happened in a home the other
night and over the parlor door saw the
legend worked in letters of red What
is Home Without Mother?" Across
the room was another brief: "God
Bless Our Home -
Now, what's the matter with 'God
Bless Our Dad:" He gets up early,
lights the kitchen fire, boils an egg,
wipes off the dew of the lawn with his
boots while many a mother is sleeping.
He makes the weekly handout for the
butcher. the grocer, the milkman and
the baker and his little pile is soon vast
ed before he has been home an hour.
IL there is a noise in the house du,ing
the night. Dad is kicked in the middle
of the back and made to go down stairs
and not only locate the burglar, but
kill him. Mother darns the socks. but
Dad bought the socks in the first place
and the needle and yarn afterwards.
Mother does up the fruit, but Dad
bought the fruit. and jars and sugar
cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for Sunday
dinner. and serves them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after ev-
cry one else is served. What is home
without mother? Yes, that's all right
but what is home without father? Ten
! chances to one it is boarding house.
Father is unGer the sod, and the land
lady is a widow. Dad, here's to you !
You may have your faults-you may
have lots of them-but you are all right
and we will miss you when you are
gone.-Ex.
