A BALD.HEADED WOMAN.

sforn Of Her Crown Of Beauty, Loses
In Love and Marriage.
Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry a
bald-headed woman? What charms
could one array to Offset stch disfg-
urement?
y A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her crowning glory is her
hair. The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness, and success. Yet
there are thousands Of women who are
neglecting or injuring their hair to
such an extent that It is only matter
Of time when It will be utterly ruined.
1fany women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance Of certain facts They use
curling irons over-heated, or to excess.
which destroys the natural oil Of the
hair, causing 1t to split, break, and
come out They do not shampoo their
hair often enough, or too often. Th. y
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful to

color, falls out. and badness COM

N. P. TO EXTEND.
Up. a......s to Begin Early in Spring
of 1912. :.

Recent dispatches purporting to haye
come from an authentic source indicate
that the N. P. expects to get busy
early in the spring on the Cannonball
branch of the Missouri river and wes-
tern Dakota N. P.) line. If you will
notl on their latest maps this COM
pany has the extension from Edgeley
to Cannonball printed and also from
Mott to Miles City.
These extensions when completed
mean q direct route from Fargo to
Miles City and shortens the coast route
from Fargo to Miles City about thirty
miles-all of which means much to the
operating department. As the grade
on the line from Miles City is only 40
per cent as against full per cent on
their present main line, there is no
question but that this will be made a
main line FOR through passenger and
freight traffic when in operation. In
reviewing the matter the dispatch says:
In 1911 the Northern Pacific cvm-
pleted new branch line from Mandan
south along the Missouri river to Can
nonball, thence west to Mott, in Het-
finger county, total distance of 1872
miles. This new line, which is known
as the Missouri River & Western Da-
kota line, was opened to traffic in Oc-
tober, 1910.
The Northern Pacific's new line will
soon be extended westward from Mott.
passing little south of New England,
crossing the Little Missouri at Mar
marth, about mile from where the
coast line of the Milwaukee crosses,
then northwesterly to meet the present
main line of the Northern Pacific at
Miles City, Mont; while from Cannon
bali it will be built east across the Big
Missouri river, thence through Linton
to Edgeley, to connect with the line
from Edgeley to LaMoure.
This makes possible ashorter through
freight line, of easy grade, south of
and parallel to the main line of the
Northern Pacific from Fargo, across
North Dakota to Miles City, Mont, by
way of Lisbon, LaMoure, Edgeley, Lin
ton, Cannonball, Mott end Marmarth
and will relieve the congestion of traffic
on the main line. It will then be pos
sible. also. to Fpn through trains from
Wadena, Mimi. to Miles City. Mont,
by way Of Fergus Falls, Breckenridge,
Wahpeton, Oakes, LaMoure and Edge
! ley which it is said takes route about
thirty miles shorter. The new maps of
the Northern Pacific show this cut off,
so there is no question but what it will
be built.

he lacks something Of being supported
by all the progressives; fourth. while
there is seemingly implacable opposi-
tion in the county to LaFollette, Taft
would have trouble in carrying Story
county in an election as the republican
nominee, with the democratic vote Of
the county not even considered.
Another poll, equally significant Of
public sentiment, and taken many hun
dreds of miles from Iowa, was that Of
the Portland (Oregon) Journal. The
poll was taken so that the sentiment Of
the entire state would be tested, with
the following result:
Senator LaFollette got 3O1 votes
from the republican voters responding
and 81 from democratic voters. making
his total 1892 out of the 6O7 who voted
for republican candidate. Colonel
Roosevelt got l63 votes, and Taft only
IS. LaFollette, therefore. got more
than half Of all the votes cast for re-
publican candidate; Roosevelt got less
than half as many; and President Taft
got only little more than one-twelfth
of the total votes cast, and less than
one-sixth as many as LaFollette. The
sentiment indicated in this vote is gen.
orally admitted to be in harmony with
the sentiment Of the entire Pacific
coast region.
It is now up to the chairmen of the
state committees in the various states
to decide whether republicans in all the
states shall have the right to express
their choice:for their party leader in
1912. Walter T.. Houser, chairman of
the progressive republican campaign
committee, ,..has written to every state
chairman asking that the voters be ac-
corded the right to express their choice
for presidentlin primary. Mr.. Hous-
er's letter says:

.cago, October 18th, as follows:
I'VE favor the entertainment OF
the choice Of the republican voters az

president from a direct primary vote
held in each state pursuant to statute,

As an outgrowth of the meeting a
progressive republican league will be
organized. It was too late that night
to elect officers, but the following res
olutions were offered at the meeting
and were adopted:
''The Oakes Progressive Republican
League affirms its belief in the declar-
alton of principles adopted by the Ma
tional Progressive League and the
Progressive Republican League Of.
North Dakota.
I'VE, as republicans, are greatly dis
appointed in tie leadership Of Presi-
dent Taft. Three years ago we sup
ported his candidacy for president for
the reason that we believed he was the
logical successor and would carry out
the policies Of that fearless and in
trepid fighter for the peoples rights,
Theodore Roosevelt. We believe that
under the present leadership the party
is bound to suffer defeat in the election
Of 1912. We have implicit faith in the
primary principles of the old party that
has brought to this country such won
derful prosperity under an honest tariff
system; that has given to US such able
leaders as Lincoln, Garfield and Roose-
velt. and that under the right kind Of
leadership, will retain the confidence Of
the people and maintain the degree Of
prosperity that has been ours since the
days Of democratic misrule.
.'Under the right leadership we be-
ieve, the party can march on to q won
derful victory in the campaign Of next
year. We want to see the republican
party what its founders intended-a
party Of, for and by the people; q
party that will protect our home in
dustries by an honest tariff system; q
party that will give equal privileges to
all and special privileges to none.
believing that the interests Of the
republican party will best be conserved
by the nomination and election Of q
man whose record is in line with these
declarations, and believing in the integ-
rity, worth and achievements Of that
constructive statesman. Senator Robert,
M. Toilette, of Wisconsin,, we pledge
ourselves to enlist in the work that
will send delegates from this county
and this state pledged to his nomination
in the national convention Of 1912.
Under his leadership we believe the
grand old partySwill go forward to q
/ glorious victory. He is a steadfast
champion Of the peoples rights, and
under his leadership a square deal can
be, guaranteed to all.
+, THE executive department Of our
state is coordinate with the executive
department Of our nation, and we
believe that the league would do q
wise thing in commencing to the voters
OF this vicinity the nomination Of James
A. Buchanan as the standard bearer Of
the party for governor. He is q com
sistent supporter Of progressive repub-
licanism; sincere, honest, frank, pa
triotic and in line with the policies of
the peerless fighter from Wisconsin.

POLITICAL STORY
TOLD BY POLLS

Administration of the
President.
Sentiment Strongly Progress.
sive and Fav0rs LaFou-
ette for Leader.

Washington. D. c., Nov. 20.-That
Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, is a
strong first choice for the republican
nomination for the presidency, is being
disclosed by polls being made by news
papers throughout the country. Up to
date, President Taft has failed to re-
ceive more votes than Senator LaFol-
lette in these polls, and in q majority
of cases, Senator LaFollette is IA
vorite by at least three to one.
A poll which is generally regarded as
unusually fair was recently made by
the Nevada Qowa) Representative. In
order that the sentiment of republican
voters might be accurately determined,
the Representative took the poll books
from the county court house and listed
every tenth voter in Story county,
sending postal card to each voter
with the request that he record his
preference for president. BY this
means, 1854 cards were mailed, and 1879
responses were received, showing the
following result:
For LaFollette, 81; for Taft, IS; for
neither, 10.
Sixteen voters, known to be stand
patters, voted for LaFollette; and fif-
teen voters, known to be progressives,
voted for Taft. The same voters were
asked to express their sentiments on a
presidential primary and 1l6 recorded
themselves in favor of it, and II were
opposed to it.
In discussing the poll. the Represent
ativ said:
'"Taking the poll for what it is worth
and having taken all possible pains to
have it worth as much as possible, it
goes to show: First, Story county re-
publicans are against Taft; second.
they are for LaFollette; third, the op-
position to Taft and the support Of La
Toilette is not factional, but, on the
contrary, LaFollette is the choice OF
more stand-patters than is Taft, while
he lacks something Of being supported
by all the progressives; fourth, while

to consult with the citizens of this
city regarding any special or regular
legislation that might be taken IN
at the coming session of congress
AS congress convenes the first Mon
day in December. I would have nc
other opportunity before I go.
The one proposition I feel that is
certain to come before this session is
the appropriation bill introduced by
me at the last session providing for
an appropriation of 100000 for a
new federal building for Bemidji. /
want to get the full 100000 if pos

is that the Commercial Club and cit
liens of Bemidji cooperate with me
IN behalf of securing the passage of
this bill. I will keep in close touch
with your postmaster, Mr. Erickson.
and make suggestions to you throu gh

titled to a new federal building.
There are three cities in my district
which now have federal buildings or
appropriations for one. Crookston,
Fergus Falls and Moorhead.''

SEES DOOM OF INDIANS
DR.. Collard Says Whites Have
Brought Ravages of Consump-
ton to Red Men.
ALSO CONTAMINATED SQUAWs

Annihilation as result of the
white mans civilization which
brought with it the ravages of tub
erculosis is the fate staring the In
dams Of the country in the face, de-
clares Dr. Collard, who for seven
years has been located on the Red
Lake agency in this country. DR..
Collard says:
The Indians are rapidly losing
that wonderful physique which was
their former pride. While there are
still many fine specimens, as a race
they are degenerating physically
tuberculosis is making great threads
upon them. When living in tepees
they were strong and rugged, get
ting plenty Of fresh air. taking
plenty Of exercise and eating nour-
ishing food.
with civilization encroaching up
on them, they acquired all the de-
moralizing habits and few of the vir-
tues. Drink creates havoc among
them. Their winter huts are now
ceiled practically air tight and they
become easy prey to tuberculosis
When ane member of the family be-
comes infected, all members of the
family are exposed in the most
dangerous manner as they live all in
"a heap.
while there are some other dis
eases which have fastened upon them
as people, tuberculosis is by far the
most fatal, and unless their mode of
living changes materially it will
make still greater inroads upon
them. Imagine white tubercular
patients living as Indians do. How
long would they last? The Indians
originally, and in their native state,
had great constitutions, but at the
present time there are comparative

On the part of a squaw or brave was

NOT SUBJECT TO CRITICISM
Myhre and Rako Not Subject to Re-
buke Says Public Examiner Fritz.

That criticism of County Commits
sioners Myhre and Rako is unjust
in connection with the public report
of the public examiner is shown by
the following to Commissioner Myhre
from Public Examiner Andrew E.
Fritz: Dear Sir: We are in re-
ceipt Of your favor of the Sth inst,
with reference to the refund of SIS on
the filing fee paid by you. Upon
consulting the files Of the attorney
generals Office we found a copy of
the letter to which you refer and as
this refund was made in accordance
with that opinion, you are not SUBJ
ject to criticism. However, as this
opinion is contrary to one in the pub
Hshed report of the attorney general
for 1908 (opinion No. 90 upon
which our demand for repayment
was made, we have taken the mat
ter up with the writer of the opin-
ION sent to you and he will advise
US IN regard to same in a short time.
Upon receipt of his letter we will
write you again and in the meantime
the matter may be held allegiance.
Yours very truly, Andrew E. Fritz,
Public Examiner Commissioners
Myhre and Rako each paid fling fees
of $40, which was SIS more than the
law required and in refunding the
SIS overpaid county warrants were
issued.
