Frightful Fires.
and vote

Great forest fires are raging in
the northwest country. Millions Of
dollers damage is already done and
over a hundred lives lost and severa
hundred people missing, and still
the fires sweep on, the puny effor
of man to stop its ravages avaNlinG
little.
Idaho, Montana and Washington
are all suffering from uncontrolled
fires. Several small towns have
been destroyed or, atleast, seriously
damaged.
The fire is carried forward b.
strong winds and seems irresistabl;
by puny man.

A Good Habit to CuIti-
VaE6.

There is a tremendous power in the
habi. OF expectancy, the conviction
that we shall realize our ambition;
that our dreams shall come true, says
Orison SWEET Marden in Success
Magazine. There is no uplifting
habit like that of carrying an expect
ant, hopeful attitude, of expecting
that our heart yearnings will be
matched with realities: that things
are going to turn out we'll and not i'll;
that we are going to succeed; that no
matter what may or may not happen
we are going 10 be happy.
There is nothing else so helpful as
the carrying of this optimistI,, ex-
pectant attitude-the attitude which
always looks for and expects the bes' +,
the hlghes', the happIest-and ueveI
allowing oneself to get into the pessi-
nlist C, discouraged mood.
Believe with all your heart that
you will do wha: you we're made 30 dc.
Never for an instant barber a doubt
of this. Drive it out OF your mind If
1t seeks entrance. Entertain only
the friend thoughts OF ideals Of the
thing you are bound to achieve. Re
ject all thought enemies, all dis
couraging moods-everything which
would even suggest failure or un-
happiness.

Will Labor Get the Raise?
Mail and Breeze.

Railroad managers are clamorlng
for a raise In freight rates. The
plea is put up that this is in the
interest of the laboring men who do
the work on the roads.
IL the advance would really go to
the laboring men there would not be
very serious opposition to 1t. II
the men who work on the section at
the princely salary of a dollar and a
quarter for 10 hours labor would
really find their wages increased
say, to 81 per day, if the freight
rate we.e advanced; if the over
worked clerks who slave all day and
sometimes part of the night for
salaries that are hardly sufficient to
keep them and their families in the
humblest sort of fashion could be
certain of a comfortable advance in
salaries IL the advance ia freight
rates were granted; if the wages OF
the men who work were given a
good boost all along the line with
the advancing freight rates'-most
of the people of the country would
be willing to stand the raise.
But there is a we'll founded i'm
preston that mighty little of the
Advance would 60 into tire pockets

dividends to the stockholders. III
the advance in freight rates is
granted there will be an immediate
advance in the price of stocks and
the n manipulators of that kind OF
securities would reap rich harvest.
Fer several years :he net earnings
of the railroads have beenincreasing,
butso far as l have heard there has
been no corresponding increase in
wages paid. The men with the
shovels are getting Substantially the
saae wages they received 20 years
: ago, or rather, the foreigners who
have taken the places of American
workmen because they would work
cheap, are getting no more than
was paid for American workmen
two decades ago.
Now, suppose the Interstate
Commerce Commission puts the
matter up to the railroad managers
this way, that no objecaon will be
made to an advance in freight rates
proyided that every dollar OF
additional revenue resulting from
the advance must be added to the
wages of the lab ling mea' not the
high up officials but to the men who
actually do the work, the engineer,
firemen, brakemen, conductors,
swltchmen, machinists, sections
hands and clerks. That will test
the sincerity of the managers. II

Rev. Edgren Of Oak Park, who ex
pressed the belief that as soon as
people rightly understand county

an extension of true democracy,

full duty to Mr.. Lawson in the last
campaign. Prof. Nelson brought

to study the social and economic
questions of the day in order that
we might come to understand and
solve them rightly, lest we should

toward independence and away
from craftsmanship, and expressed
the hope that every one would help
to encourage this independently.
Rev. Michaelson recited instances
from history to prove that often

and Rev. Swenson of New London
spoke along the same lines, adding
a few personal references to Mr..
Lawson's mother and the influence

Throw Away that Fountain
syringe.

1t is one of the most unnatural
articles used. Bowels should be
regulated with what we eat and
drink, in fact our system itself d.
reefs us by its cravings what to eat
and drink. The first cause of con-
stipation is simply a slight cold in
the majority of cases, and this can
easily be broken up by taking from
fifteen drops to two teaspoonfuls
four times day according to age
of Elfstrum's and Co.'s Extract
Cascara Sagrada Arom. The same
direction holds good for habitual
constipation. In such cases, the
fountain syringe will be shelved
and soon forgotten.
The secret of being healthy and
feeling good is to keep the bowels in
good working ssorder, and this is
easily done by using our remedy.
1t is not a patent medicine, but
simply an extract Of Chittim Wood
Bark, as they call it west of the
Cascade Mountains. We have the
bark ground up for the convenience
of making infusions and extracts.
In the aromatic extract the bitter
principle is removed and aromatics
added which make it very pleas
ant to take, even for the most deli
cate child or lady. It causes no
gripping or uncomfortable feeling
and is a reliable remedy. A trial
size. two ounce bottle retails for
twenty five cents. and should be in
every household. 41tf

help the good to win and the right
to triumph. Rev. Walters lauded
the Tribune for it's stand on all
public questions. He also made a
great hit by a number of humorous
references which were greatly APP
preciated. The last speaker was
DR.. johnson. who was introduced
by the toastmster as "the insur-
gent. His remarks proved beyond
any doubt that the title was cor
rect. DR.. johnson devoted most of
his time to- comparing the condi-
lions, politically, in Kandiyohi
county at the present time with the
conditions years ago, showing what
great changes for the better nave
been wrought. In closing he paid
his respects to those who can find
nothing better to do than to sling
mud at those who are trying to do
something for the people and for
the community in which they live.
calling attention to the fact that
usually they were only hired scav-
engers, without any conscience or
self-respect, and that their work
would mean their own undoing in
time, and would harm no good man.
A number of vocal solos and
three numbers by male quartette
added much to the enjoyment of the
evening. That those who attended
were pleased with the affair was
proven by the fact that in spite Of
the lengthy program the hall was
almost as crowded at the end as it
was in the beginning. The ar
engagements for the reception were
complete in every way. even inc ud-
ing checking system Whereby the
wraps and overcoats of the visitors
were taken care Of.
| At the conclusion of the program
Mr.. Stanford made a brief but hap
py presentation speech, saying that
a number of Mr.. Lawson's friends
in various parts of the county
wished to express in some tangible
way their appreciation of his work
and consequently had contributed
to a purse which would now be
presented to the guest of honor.
The purse was delivered to Mr..
Lawson by Sheriff Peter Bonde. 1t
proved to contain silver to the
amount of $267.00, together with
list of the contributors, 1928 in all.
Mr.. Lawson made a brief response.
expressing his deep-felt gratitude
for all the kind words spoken as
we'll as for the handsome token OF
appreciation, and he closed by say.

New York, March 23.--The early
promise today Of an inert holiday
market was not borne out by the
later developments when the increas-
ing pressure of stocks for sale carried
prices comprehensively downwards.
The yielding of prices was attributed
partly to a counter movement by the

in bringing this condition home to

The array of charges against the

scented to the attorney general by the

another factor. So, also, was the re-
