The election in Charles Town on the
license question is over and past. There
were one hundred and twenty-seven col
ored votes cast. of which about twenty
FIVE voted dry. Added to the one hun

the situation at all knows well that a
good majority of the responsible vote,
comprising nearly all of our thinking
citizens, voted dry.

Charles Town, which contains about
one-sixth of the population of the coun-

County Court to consider the wishes of
! the people of the entire county, and not
Just what small majority in one town
ii the county may want.
Suppose the petitions show, and there
is 40 doubt that they will show. that a

county outside OF Charles Town are in

Court is perfectly PLAN. Sixty-four

m iorlty outside of Charles Town to ov.
ercome the majority for license there.
and then the total majority for no.license
in the entire county should be recognized
and allowed.
Therefore get busy ard give everybody
in the county an opportunity to sign
these petitions, and they will be signed
BY three-fourths of the responsible think.

Minnesota will undoubtedly. as Prof
p. q. Holden, the Iowa corn expert,
declares, result here as elsewhere in
Increased land values. Corn is the
most prolific and valuable o. al grain
crops, especially when 1t liz turned into
beef and pork on the farm where 1t IL
raised. The corn-fed steer and the
corn -fattened hog are at the top of
the market, and will always stay there
The development OF Minnesota and
North Dakota as corn-raising and
meat-producing states will have a vital
relation TO the effects OF reciprocity
with Canada, If that agreement Ia
ratified, we shall gradually on this side
OF the line retreat from the raising OF
wheat into corn, beef and pork. The
Canadian west Will more and more
raise our wheat, while we shall fur
nish them corn for feed and meat for
human consumption. 1t will be
change of great Importance, involving
greater prosperity on both sides of the
line. Already the expectation Of corn
from the United states into Canada
is very large item. because OF the
fact there is no Canadian tariff on
corn TO restrict IL. But the American
northwest is not yet a factor in this
trade, as IL surely will be when our
farmers learn how rich mine Is ready
for development. -

AN AUDITORIUM.

That an auditorium is a necessity
in Fargo is generally admitted. There
are some big events already scheduled
for this city for which there is no place
sufficiently large. The annual Tri-
State convention overtaxes the capac-
ity Of the present auditoriums. A year
ago many farmers were unable to Sc
cure seats and returned home swear
ing they would not come till there was
a larger hall. Even with the unsatis-
factory crop conditions there were
several sessions at the last conven-
ton in which the Fargo operahouse
was crowded.
With suitable auditorium some of
the big sangerfests could be held here.
Famous bands, orchestras and solo
lists could be secured If there was a
place in which the people could hear
them.
An auditorium means bigger and
better things and Fargo should be suf-
flciently enterprising to meet the de-
mands.

MILLIONS OF LIVES
An Awful Toll Collected by consump-
tion--Many Unnecessary
Deaths.

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal dis
ease that external applications cannot
cure, they would not need to be warned
SO often about this malady, which,
when neglected, paves the way often
times for consumption, at the cost of
millions of lives every year. Yet ca
tarrh may be cured, If the right treat
ment is employed.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts OF the system, so that
the mucous membrane or internal I'm
Ing of the body is toned up and made
capable of resisting the infection of
consumption and other diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a speciality, and whose record
was patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu- Tone We are so posi-
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all it's various forms,
whether acute or chronic. that we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine in every case where
it fails or for any reason does not
satisfy the user
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and guar
antee. We are right here where you
live, and you do not contract any OBJ
legation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
SO cents and $1.00. Very often the
taking Of one 50-cent bottle is suffi-
cient to make a marked impression
upon the case. OF course in chronic
cases a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances Is three
$1.00 bottles. Remember you can OBJ
tain Rexall Remedies in Fargo only at
our stores-The Rexall Stores. Fargo
