Historic Scottish Town.

The town of Dunfermline is famous
among other things for having been
the birthplace of DR.. Andrew Carne-
gle. to give the multimillionaire his
Scottish title. Seeking to add to it's
fame the town invited Mr. Roosevelt
to pay it a visit. Since the institution
by Mr.. Carnegie of the American and
British hero fund the relationship be-
tween Dunfermline and the United
States has become closer. inasmuch
as Mr.. Carnegie's birthplace has pro-
vided the trustees and it is the center
from which the awards are made.
Moreover, the United States supplies
the principal outlet for the staple in
dustry of Dunfermline. But for Amer
icas custom in Dunfermline damask
productions more than half the looms
of the town would be standing idle.

kinu of Animals.

Little boys since Bible times have
believed bears eat bad children, but
bears do not eat people. In the wild
state bear will come nosing where
man is asleep and never awaken
him. A Pacific" grizzly may weigh a
ton. 1t takes mighty big horse or a
steer to do that King of animals, the
grizzly can clean out whole me-
nagerie of lions, tigers and leopards.
Just think of bear measuring IA or
Is feet from tip of nose to tip of tail,
and neither end long, at that. Per-
haps in the past half century not 100
persons have been killed from Mexico
to Alaska by grizzly bears.

One Foot at a Time,

Some people hove a funny way of
teaching themselves roller skating"
said the manager of rink They
learn one foot at time With a skate
on the right foot they keep them
selves up with the left foot until the
right learns the movement. then the
left foot is trained in the same way
By all the laws of physics and hui
man nature the skater who teaches
himself piecemeal ought to get some
tremendous bumps when he starts
out on both feet, but somehow the
training is efficient and he skates
away without accidents"

Hygiene In Japan.

AS a specimen of how practical the
Japanese are with their knowledge of
western science and determination to
deal with disease, they have levied a
tax on every household to produce two
rats every month. A fine is imposed
If the rats are not caught, and pro-
duced at the time OF inspection Every
rat is examined, and if found to be
plague infected the house from which
they come is to be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. Twice year
every house and shop has to disgorge
all its effects and be completely
cleaned out. The things only go back
after sanitary inspection

SAUK CENTRES NEEDS

Sank Centre is the finest little
city in north central Minnesota
Anyone who has lived here or
who has passed any time here
will tell you that. But Sank
Centre can easily be made bet
ter city. And one Of the means
for bringing about that desired
object is a good, live Commercial
Club.
An organization OF that nature
will do as much for the material
prosperity of town as any other
agency. 1t brings together men
of differing opinions and of di-
verse interests, shows them
what good fellows they are and
tends to make all feel like pull
ing together. No one man, no
matter how bright or how sue
cessful he may be, possesses all
the practical knowledge that eX-
lists in this world. Every man,
if he amounts to anything what
ever, is capable of offering sug-
geStiOnS t at are Of value.
Members of a good live CONNER
cial Club, meeting together to
discuss matters Of interest to a
city, will be able, after consider
ing them from every standpoint,
to render decision that will be
more valuable than what any
one man can give.
And therein lies the strength
of an organization of that nature.
Every town needs manufacture
ing plants; needs to conduct its
affairs along the best possible
line; needs a place where the
business and professional man
can enjoy the social side of life.
Every public official, if he is of
the right kind, desires to know
the opinion of the public in or
der to act intelligently and for
the good of the community. The
Commercial Club furnishes all
of these. Sank Centre needs a
Com ercial Club. There is
plenty Of good material here and
a little effort on the part of the
business and professional men
of the city can establish one.
The sooner it is done the better.

Clothes for men, so say the
persons who plan and fashion

Honest Insurance Company.

The widow of man who died In
this city last month is profuse in her
expressed admiration for the honesty
of the company in which her husband
carried his insurance. The premiums
on the policy fell due on May 1, and
the one for the coming year, amount
ing to s271, was paid on April Is
The insured died at 11:2O on the
night of April 80, and, as the money
paid on April Is was not actually due
until May 1, and the man died 40 min
utes before that time, the premium
paid in April has just been returned

course, was paid some time ago
