Would-be Lover Given Shock. 2
Recently a most fastidious young
man in certain town bought pair
of overalls and found in them the
name of the sewing girl who had
made them. He promptly wrote
her a letter with all the effusiveness
necessary in such case and in due
time: received a reply which, how
ever, was void of the romance usual
in such cases. Here it ISL am a
working girl, it is true, but I make a
good living and I do not care to sup
port husband, as I would probably
have to do, if married some silly
noodle, who gets mashed on girl
he never saw. Permit me further to
say, that I do not know how my
card got in the pair of overalls,
and that when I do marry if ever, it
will be some fellow who can afford
something better than forty.seven
cent pair of breeches.- Marshall

NOW IS the TIME.

For months the needs and desire.
and benefits of northern Minnesota
have been discussed until nearly
every citizen knows pretty well
what to demand of the incoming
legislature in the way of first aid tc
the injured"
The vital point just now is that all
the pressure which the 100000
residents of the thirty-one affected
counties are capable Of producing,
is brought tobear at the Brainerd
meeting this week so that the entire
commonwealth will realize the
tremendous importance of this part
of the state, awakening the legisla.
tors to the fact that just demands
from so great power can no longer
be ignored orrocked to sleep with a
sweet song of promises.
If you think Bemidji and Bel.
trami county IS now sufficiently re.
presented in the legislature and are
satisfied with the protection given
our forests and have no protest to
make regarding our roads then you
might as we'll save your money and
remain at home instead of going to
Brainerd.
But, if you want these things, and
want to aid in cutting the bonds
which tie down that prosperity
which only awaits its freedom to
send the great north country ahead
with a jump, make it a personal
point to attend the meeting in our
sister city on Thursday and Friday.

Thinks Tolstoi Did Mankind No Good
The Minneapolis Bellman admits
Count Tolstoi was a remarkable
character but fails to enthuse over
his accomplishments. Says the
Bellman: I
The question of the real value of
his contribution to the literature of
his time may be left to those who
have read his works more thoroughly
and are better qualified to Judge of
their literary merit. On this point
The Bellman feels disqualified to
pass an opinion; he may venture to
say, however, that 1t is difficult, even
impossible, for him to understand
how any permanent good to man
kind, how any helpful, or useful,
uplifting or ennobling influence can
come to the world through the read
ing of books so morbid, unnatural
and distorted, so warped and dismal
as those written by Count Tolstoi.-

those Weighing two pounds bring the high
est prices.
The smaller birds. those Weighing one
pound and a quarter and under, are the
squad broilers and are used chiefly in high
class hotels and restaurants, where they
are called Individual birds. The Two pound
birds are known as STANDARD broiers and
are the best sellers IN the general market,
though they never fetch such high prices
as the squads. / prefer to sell my product

Having decided on the breed, the next
point OF Importance is to see that each

vigorous birds. 1 believe IL is quite i'm
possible 10 build up a successful broiler
business from stock that is not perfectly

"A broller to be Of the first quality must
be a quickly grown, Juicy carcass and
the forcing must begin almost from hatch
ing time. A chick must necessarily have
plenty Of health and vitality to make IL
stand the forcing and at the same time
keep well and happy. A chick from poor
stock or even the average stock will not
stand the strain on it's digestive organs
and as a consequence will either sicken
or die before it has attained the required
weight.
After securing eggs from the proper
stock the next point is to get them well
incubated. AS it is next to impossible
to get broody hens at the season that
broilers should be Matched l depend en-
tirely on incubators and ! get the best

During the six years that l have been

each prospective broiler grower should in

best suited to his needs-that is, to the
conditions in which he must work.
For small establishments l prefer the
