SITUATION
IN VILLAGE
With Election But One
Week Away the Political
Situation in West Ham
mond Gets More Compi-
Gated Each Day.

Unless some action is taken this
week, the question whether West Ham
mond is a village or city will remain
mooted for an indefinite time to come.
Failure on the part of the village sup
porters this week to get restraining
order stopping the holding of city
election. next Tuesday, or a court man
date ordering the holding of a village
election, will result in city election,
and the probabilities are that the ques-
tion will not be raised in the courts
after the election.
Three City Tickets.
In brief the situation in West Ham
mond, less than week before the day
of election. is this:
There are three tickets in the field
for the city offices, these tickets being
headed by Charles Mayer for mayor on
the citizens ticket, on the north side;
K. NJ Woszczynski for mayor on the
peoples ticket, on the south side. and
Petek Max. an independent candidate
on the democratic ticket. Incidentally
his name will be the only one on his
ticket. a chance of election conceded
ticket. nor is there chance OF election
conceded him.
In addition to the three city tickets
a slate has been made up which is to
represent the village supporters, but
the burden of proof rests with them
and they will have to go into court tc
show village and not a city election
is to be held. Unless they do that
this week they will lose by default
and the probabilities are that no one
will raise the question in the courts
after the election. Should the villags

Wheat Spectator Refuses to Pay
When Hit BY Market.

Moorhead.- that specula

Louis Hicks, of Hickson,, twelve miles
south of here, is now fighting the claim
of Atwood, Stone & Co., grain com

$500 which the commission asserts
is due for margins.
Louis Hicks and his brother Ole live
at Hickson, south of this city, and are
large grain dealers. The testimony in
troduced in yesterdays trial showed
that last fall Louis Hicks telephoned
Atwood to buy 10000 bushels of De
cember wheat on margins. In October
he wrote him to buy second 10000
bushels of December. Atwood bought
the wheat, but the price steadily
dropped. When Hicks money ran out
the Minneapolis Office of the commits
sion house telephoned and wired re
peatedly for more margins. but theii
messages were disregarded by Louis
Hicks.
During this time Hicks would not
give orders to sell. At last the COM
mission house sold the wheat at a loss
of $500. 1t is now suing Louis Hicks
to recover the $500.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession of piece Of
wire of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked
Professor Mcmillan of the Peary north
pole expedition what it was and what
it was for. He was told that the
white man strung it on poles stuck in
the ground and a voice talking to an
instrument at one end could be heard
at the other end. After some search
the next morning the Eskimo was
found to be engaged in telephone con-
struction work of his own. He stuck
some sticks in the ground and hung
his wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire in his mouth and talked to
it at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire in his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

phorio Acid combined" and Potash 1914 por
cent from q total Of 10107.
Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-
phate Of Potash.
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
phate Of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts In the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements Of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the Inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate Of Potash). This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition Of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain. OF course, there is trace Of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir Of life"
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle.
and in molecular FORM exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies-this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment.
peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion.

MANS SKELETON ON FARM.
Bones Near Bemidji May Be Clue to
Disappearance.

Bemidji-Discovery of human
skeleton by F. M. Pendergast, on his
farm, three miles south of Bemidji,
may solve the mysteryw of the escape
of the robber who shot former Deputy
Sheriff Johnson, or of the strange dis
appearance of Peter Lamire. The
bones were Of man of more than the
average height.
DR.. Smith and DR.. Stanton, the latter
a dentist, have examined the bones,
but there is absolutely nothing on
which to base identification. In the
opinion of DR.. Smith the skeleton must
have lain at the edge of the swamp
where it was found for the last four
years. No marks of violence other
than the possible mutilation of the
skull was found. The skull lay face
downward, as if the man had fallen.
Pieces of a dark coat SLOUGH hat,
a jackknife folding yard rule, raz-
or hone, piece of tobacco sack, and
most significant of all. metal check

MAKES GOOD REPORT.
Railroad Man Optimistic Concerning
Crop Condition in Minnesota.

Winona.-Corn planting in Southern
Minnesota is we'll under way and with
favorable weather should be completed
within the next ten days, according to
the report of crop conditions issued by
General Agent H. ]. Wagon of the Min
nesota division of the Northwestern.
Although rain would be beneficial.
crops will not suffer because of lack
of moisture for some time.
The report says: During the past
week, the weather has been favorable
for the growth of all grains. There
was a good shower at Winona and
light showers extending as far west as
Waseca, followed by high winds, and
temperature ranging from 40 to 95 de.
grees and with an average of IS de-
grees."
Additional moisture, especially in
the western portion, would be benefi-
c1al but there are no reports of it's
being a necessity for the present.
Small grains are making a favor
able showing, stooling heavy, indica.
tive OF excellent soil conditions.
Corn planting has made good prog.
ress since our last report. With con.
tinuation of favorable weather, this
work will be completed within a week
or ten days.
Reports show that considerable at.
tention has been paid to the selection
OF productive seed, more so than in
previous years.
while it is too early to make any
predictions upon a basis of certainty,
the present indications are all that we
can ask for, and in comparison with
previous year are more satisfactory,
which gives good foundation for the
optimism that prevails, covering the
crop situation"

Size of the Feet.

Paris just now is having a wave of
interest in human feet. Two scien-
lists, Marie and MacAuliffe, recently
advanced the observation that the
sanest type of men had the biggest
feet, while the sanest type of women
had the smallest feet. Which has
started the boulevardiers to scanning
the feet of pedestrians.
Out of 100 normal men these scien-
lists have asserted that only Is have
small feet, while of 100 insane men
only "a have large feet. These proper
tons for women are almost exactly the
reverse. Out of 100 sane women only
% have large feet, while of 100 insane
women 18 have small feet. On the
male side of the proposition the Amer
ican-long having looked upon Lin
coin as one of the sanest, sagest of
American statesmen-probably will
agree with the French scientists.

at the state training school for
boys has been officially sanctioned by
the state board of control. In re-
port filed for Governor Eberhart, H.
A. Whittier, superintendent of the Red
Wing institution, whose conduct was
investigated by the recent legislature,
is practically upheld, The board an
nounced it had laid down specific reg
ulations under which corporal punish
ment is to be conducted in the future.
1t places the responsibility in the
superintendent.
This action is taken as challenge
to Governor Eberhart, who demanded
that Superintendent Whittier be re-
moved and that corporal punishment
be abolished.
In it's report filed in the governors
Office the board recommends continual
tion of corporal punishment in a Gu
dicious measure" Fifteen lashes is
set as the maximum punishment to be
administered to any inmate under the
new ruling. The attendants are eau.
toned in addition to take great care
not to injure the boys. 1t is espe-
cfically provided that all punishment
must be under the direct super.
vision of the superintendent.
The board calls attention to the
opinion of Attorney General Simpson
and states that under it's conditions
no valid reason for the dismissal OF
Mr.. Whittier appears. The governor
is asked to note the fact that the leg
islative investigation committee did
not reveal such specific charges as
might be placed at the disposal of the
board in custer proceedings.

Is It possible to nourish, strengthen and Re

Every man who thinks uses up part Of the
brain each day. Why don't It all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say q month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
II he builds little less than he destroys.
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure.
II he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is It from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about IT, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink
That also is sure
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
~ Of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child. ,,
Likewise If we would feed in skillful man

for strength and rebuilding, we must first know
what the brain is composed Of and then select
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.
