smooth the floors of the University club

perfectly. 1t is ingenious invention and
its operation is attracting considerable

The action of the city council to
force the Indiana Northwestern Trac-

This is apparent from the terms that
the Drum company, operating the Ham

has ocered the new company. Some Of
the councilmen who have learned the
Drum company's proposition have stat
ed that they will insist no longer that
the new company use the route.
The terms. in short are, that the In

SUBSCRIPT|OA---S5.OO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
A GETTING TOGETHER CONVENTION.

AnearneSt appeal that should touch
the quick of every man who believes
there is a Northern Minnesota
is being made upon citizens of
this great north country by COM
mittee of real men. This conven-
ton is to be held at Bemidji
February 18th and 18th 1910. For
what Northern Minnesota has not
and should have she is herself
partially to blame-and why? Just
because it lacked Team Work"
that's it, team work, working to-
gether, that's what wins.
Good wide-a-wake hustlers are all
right, we have them too, lots of
'em, and we are proud of them, but
they can't do it all alone. They
must be backed up all the time by
every worker in the field. This
wins. 1t is a conceded fact, that
the northern portion of this great
state of ours, has been in many
instances neglected and if we our
selves do not suggest beneficial
legislation pertaining to northern
Minnesota, what should and can we
expect?
At this convention next month let
US thresh out at least the most
important subjects for future legis-
lation.
1t is your duty dear friend and
neighbor to be at this convention.
We want you there to talk it over.
1t dosen't make any difference who
you are or wha: you are-You're in
the game. That's the point And
if you're in it with determination,
and grit, and enthusiasm and show
the proper spirit, you're just as i'm
portant as the leader of the band,
and the team work" of the North
ern Minnesota Development Associ-
alton will be just that much nearer
the winning point.
Now we're in this association to
win. We have the greatest team in
the world. 1t should be strengthened
when and where ever it can. All
that's necessary is Team Work."
playing the game together and we'll
hang on I'd the championship
pennant we've already won. Play
the game like getlemen and you'll
find it game worth while.

SPARROW PIRATE OF THE AIR
Agricultural Department Advises Ito
determination.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The English
sparrow is the pirate of the air, just
as the rat is the freebooter of the
earth, and ought to be eXterminated.
So rules the department of agriculture
in bulletin just issued, which also
tells how to get rid of him.
He studiously hunts and eats in
sects which are beneficial to plant
life, while he passes over more or less
those which are harmful. The only
good thing he does is to eat the seed
of weeds and prevent their spread.
Aside from that there is nothing to be
said in his favor. More than that, he
Is murderous. He hunts the nesting
places and destroys eggs and young
bluebirds, house Wrens, tree swallows
and barn swallows. The robin, the
batbird and the hooking bird he at
tacks and drives out of parks and
shade trees. He has no song, but he
drives out the song birds and brings
only noise in return.

Canadian Member of Parliament Would
Bar Undesirable immigrants.
Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 21.-Further legis-
lation to restrict the immigration of
Asiatics into Canada may be enacted
through the passage of a general immi-

1t provides that immigrants must have
$500 with them upon arrival in this
country.
Mr.. Oliver, in presenting the bill,
said it was especially designed to keep
out undesirable immigration from the
United States. Although the highest
class of immigration that ever came
into any country is the influx of Ameri-
can farmers into the Western prov
inces a great many Europeans seek
admission to Canada through the Unit.
