'WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA S0AP2"

"There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best Of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost Is few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet
soaps, it Is prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that it wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making it's
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth Of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

Football Scout the Latest.

Baseball scouts have for many years
been one Of the most important assets
belonging to the great American game,
but It has only been within the last
few years that the football scout has
come into prominence. Unlike the
baseball scout, the football scout does
not go about the country trying to dis
cover star players. Instead, his duty
is to learn the style of play used by
teams which his own is scheduled to
play, and then impart the information
to his own players. Almost all Of the
larger schools and colleges have
adopted the scouting system. When

FARMERS BODY ON ROAD
Leading Stock Raiser of Otter Tail
County Expires Suddenly.

Fergus Falls.-Parties who were in
from the town of Aastad brought news
of the death of Thorwald H. Thorson,
one Of the leading stock raisers Of this
county, his body being found by the
roadside near his home. Mr.. Thor
son had driven to Wendell, eighteen
miles south of here, to sell some hogs
and was returning home late in the
evening. A neighbor who happened to
be coming from the opposite direction
noticed that his team had left the
road and gone over to a haystack, and
went over to investigate. He found
the team without driver and going
back over the road which they had
come, he discovered the body of Mr..
Thorson. He had apparently died
from heart disease.
Mr.. Thorson made a speciality of
raising thoroughbred stock, and took
a large percentage of the prizes at
the county fair here last fall.

MISSING MAN SLAIN
Body of Aged Kelsey, Mimi, Farmer
Found by Deputy Sheriff.


Found by Deputy Sheriff.
Duluth.-Asa SGepard, Civil war
veteran, 76 years cid, who has been
missing from his hstaestead near Kel-
sey, four miles from here, since Febru-
ary %, was murdered, according to
telegram received here from a deputy
sheriff sent from Duluth to investigate.
The telegram read: "Have, founo
Shepard's body. He was murdered"
Shepard was widower and recently
purchased 144 acres of land near Kel-
sey. For the past year he has not re-
sided on the homestead, but has been
living in small shack on the edge of
the village. A week ago Friday he
was last seen alive. He was then in
good health. When he was missed
search was made, and his friends in
Duluth were questioned, as he fre-
quently came to this city to attend
Grand Army gatherings
The finding of his body by the dep
uty solves the mystery of his disap-
pearance, but the reason for the mur.
der is still unknown. II is believed
that the aged man was probably killed

TO PUSH RIVER WORK
Government Prepares for Short, Ac-
tive Season on Mississippi.

Winona-A short but active season
is the general outlook for the govern
ment in it's work of improving the
Mississippi river for navigation this
year. 1t is generally conceded that
government crews will be unable to
resume work along the river for at
least six weeks, as ice in the Mississ-
ippi is from three to four feet in thick
ness.
Larger crews than ever before will
replace the ones which operated in
this section last year. 1t is understood
also that two or three extra crews
will be operating this year to augment
the governments force. One or two
of these will work in the immediate
vicinity of Lake Pepin.
When the seasons work is COM
pleted the sixteen-mile stretch be-
tween Winona and Richmond, which
is said to be a model of river con-
struction, will become merely link
in long chain of similar channel. The
entire river from Lake Pepin to the
Wisconsin river will compare favor
ably with this sixteen miles.

the labor and material. 1t was also to
be paid for extras, and these amounted
to $4,667.07. The city has paid some
thing over $4,000, and was to pay the
accepted, but it is alleged that it has
delayed the formal acceptance and
final payment, although the plant has
been in successful operation for over

FOR POPULAR VOTE
GOVERNOR A. o. EBERHART AND
CHAIRMAN e. e. SMITH AGREE
TO cASWELL PROPOSAL.
COMMITTEE FAVORABLE
Count to Be Made in Each Precinct
and Reported to State Conven-
tion-Governor Expresses
His Approval.

st. Paul.-Governor A. o. Eberhart
and Chairman E. E. Smith OF the re-
publican state committee agreed to
the plan for popular vote test on
presidential choice, outlined by /. A.
Caswell of the Roosevelt committee.
While this does not bind the repub-
lican state committee, it commits the
state organization to the plan, and
leaves little doubt that the state COM
mittee will ask to have the popular
vote recorded in the caucuses. The
state committee was named by Gov
ernor Eberhart.
The Caswell plan was presented to
Governor Eberhart by Frank Knox of
Michigan, representing the Roosevelt
national committee. He was accom-
panied by Mr.. Caswell and A. A. d.
Rain, and Secretary Ralph w. Wheel
ock also sat in the conference.
They talked the proposition over
and the Caswell plan was submitted
to the governor in writing, as fol-
lows:
The republican state central COM
mittee to instruct the county republi-
can committee in each county to in
clude in it's call for caucuses and con-
vention request that all ballots to be
used at such meetings be so prepared
that the voter may express thereon
his choice as to presidential candl-
dates and that the secretary of each
caucaus report the result in his pre-
cinct to the county convention and
that the secretary of the county con-
vention report the result in his coun-
ty to the district or state convention.
Governor Eberhart wrote under
meath as follows: After reading it
twice over approve of this plan.
Some such plan as this must be adopt
ed. 1 stand for any plan which, prop
erly safeguarded, will give the peo-
pie an opportunity to express their
choice"
Mr.. Caswell issued statement CIV
ing the result of the conference.
Chairman Smith was not present and
is not mentioned in the statement, but
was consulted over the telephone by
Mr.. Knox and later by Mr.. Rain. He
said that he had no objection to the
plan, and as far as he personally is
concerned will not oppose it's adop-
ton.
This means that the Taft forces
have accepted the challenge of the
Roosevelt men, which also had been
made in less definite form by the La
Toilette men, and will submit to a
verdict of the people in each district
and in the state at large. Every vote
cast in the caucuses will count, whe-
ther it is cast for the winning dele
gate ticket in the precinct or not.
