and express themselves generally as
of the opinion that the coming few
years will mark the greatest agricul-

the nation. Officials of lines pene-
trating the west are looking forward
to greater movement of cclonists
during 1911 than took place last year,
important as that year was. Down
in Dixie and in the southwest the
railway opinion is that the tide of i'm
migration will exceed this year the
record made last year for increased
population and the reasons for this
optimism are ligical ones.
A forcible illustration of the stabil-
ity of the middle western movement,
for instance, is found in the develop

as soon to take place because of the

Utah in February. During this one

discontinuance of moving pictures as
a part of the Sunday evening service
at the Church of st. Hyacinth here,
the pastor. DR.. Bartholomew Swinko,
has secured TEMPORARY injunction

ture exhibitions. The injunction re-
straining the mayor and police from
interfering with the pastors plans

stating that the entire proposition was

Of Jim Stinson who was also present.

testified to by George Hancock of Far.

the time OF the case alleged to have
been postponed on account of the
drunkenness of the judge the drug.
gists convention was in Devils Lake
and court was adjourned to allow of
visiting by judge, jurors and attorneys
with delegates. The Judge gave as
cause for the animus of Hancock the
fact that a case in Cowan's court had
gone against him. He charged Tray
nor and Hancock with having fixed
up the testimony before Hancock went
on the stand. He mad a lot Of fun with
the "dribbling' incident.
The most scathing arraignment of
the morning was that to D. v. Bren-
nan who has been active in the prose-
cution. The Judge in calling atten-

ing to show a proposal by Cowan of
a political combination with Brennan
called attention to q statement of
Brenna' s that the publication of
Devils Lake depended on the running

How to 'sShed" A
Bad Complexion

It's foolish to attempt to cover ul
or hide a sallow complexion, when
you can so easily remove the sallow
ness. or the complexion itself. Rouge
and the like on a brownish skin. only
emphasize the defect The better way
is to apply pure mercolized wax-the
same as YOU would cold cream-put-
ting it on at night, removing it in the
morning with warm water and soap,
following with q dash of cold water.
The effect of few applications is
simply marvellous. The half-dead
cuticle is absorbed by the wax-pain-
lessly, gradually, in tiny inpercep-
tible understanding the beautiful
velvety white new skin beneath.
No woman need have q saliow,
blotchy, pimply or freckled complex
ion IL she'll just go to the druggists,
get some good mercolized wax and use
as suggested-Woman's Realm.
