It was reported on good authority
today that Taft is not near as promi-
nent in Devils Lake at the present time
as is Roosevelt. The Roosevelt move.
ment has evidently taken this city by
storm and it is the opinion Of Edward
F.; Flynn, who after three days wan
dering about the city with Taft peti.
tion has only been able to secure two t,,
names to the document. on the other
hand Roosevelt petitions have been lit
orally covered with signatures and were
mailed to the secretary Of state today.

Hon. Hal l.. Norwood has with
dra Nn from the race for governor.
Mr.. Norwood gives as his reason
for coming down the fact that it
costs too much to make the race,
and we all know it does cost lot
to attain this high office the way
things are going now. The state
ment made by Mr.. Norwood is
reasonable, however we may de
plore the condition that makes
such action necessary There
should be some way to avoid all
this expense. When the cost ot
running for office is greater than
the salary or fees of the office, ii
brings about condition of affairs
that practically prohibits poor
man from holding Office, which
should not be, as it is sometimes
desirable that man should hold
a public office even tho his bank
account be small, and it is bad
state Of effssirs that forces sucl
an one TO either forego the1honoi
or appeal to his friends and be in
debted to them practically the
balance of his life.

GREATEST CANALS IN WORLD
Most Important In Economics of
Transportation Are Those Of North
Country Of America.

The greatest canals in the world
are in the north country Of America.
By "greatest" is meant The most inn
portant in the economies OF trans
portation, for these canals arc not
the longest or the deepest or the most
costly, nor did their construction
involve very unusual or spectacular
feats Of engineering. But in point
Of tonnage passing through them
and in their influence upon freight
rates throughout the country no arti-
fetal waterways ever made approach
them, even remotely. ii is sur
prising statement, but true never
theless, that these important canals
carry a far greater commerce in
eight months of the year than is
borne by the Suez canal, the Kiel
canal and the Manchester ship canal
combined in an entire year. II the
commerce of the Erie canal, the
Welland and the canals Of the St.
Lawrence system be added, the ag-
gregate will still fall short Of reach
ing the enormous tonnage Aoated by
these inland waterways. It reached
in 1910 a volume never dreamed OF
by the early navigators--namely,
G2,363,218 tons, an increase of A.
1850 tons over 1909. The figures
that tell of the prospective tonnage
Of the Panama canal, when opened
to the commerce Of the world, seem
insignificant when compared with
these. In fact, it is hardly probable
that the commerce through Panama
in present generations at least, vii
in a single year equal the commerce
of these inland canals at present.

A trick of the packers to show
the increased cost of the produc-
ton of beef has been uncovered.
The hides were not credited to
the account as formerly, which
of course increased the cost of
production to the extent Of the
value of the hide. In this case the
tail went with the hide, but the
hide failed to go with the beef. =

A phone line is needed from
this place to Bleyins, and this
should be put in ataonce;.it would
be great convenience to the
public and should be a paying
proposition for the system. We
understand there is only a gap Of
about five miles that would have
to be built in order to make the
connection with Bleyins, and this
being the case, the expense would
be quite small.

ACTUAL STARVATION,

Facts About Indigestion and Its
relief That Should Interest You
Although Indigestion and Dyspepsis
are so prevalent. most people do moi
thoroughly understand their cause
and cure. There is no reason why
most people should not eat anything
they desire-if they will only chew
it carefully and thoroughly. Many
actually starve themselves into sick
ness through fear of eating every
good-looking .good-smelling and good
tasting food. because it does not
agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dys-
pepsia. We are so confident of this
fact that we guarantee and promise
to supply the medicine free of all
costs to every one who will use it,
who Is not perfectly satisfied with
the results which it produces. We
exact no promises, and put no one
under any obligation whatever. Sure
~, nothing could be fairer. We are
located right here and our reputation
should be sufficient assurance of
the genuiness of our offer.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any
form to come to our store and buy
a box Of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
Take them home and give them a
reasonable trial, according to di-
rections. Then, If not satisfied come
to us and get your money back.
They are very pleasant to take; they
aid, strengthen and invigorate the
digestive organs, and to promote a
healthy and natural bowel action,
thus leading to perfect and healthy
digestion and assimilation.
A Csc. package of Rexall dyspep-
sia Tablets furnishes Is days treat
ment. In ordinary cases. this is suf-
ficient to produce cure. In more
chronic cases, longer treatment,
of course, is necessary, and depends
upon the severity of the trouble. Fer
such cases, we have two larger sizes
which sell for soc. and $1.OO. Re
member you can obtain Rexall Rem
edieS in this community only at our
store-The Rexall Store. Dodds &

Every poultry raiser, rancher,
gardner or fruit grower should a

gressive poultry men, who lives at
the head of Whitefish lake who has
given his place a name He calls
it the Whitefish Lake Poultry Farm
BY this name it is always easy tc
indentify the place. Instead of des-
cribing it as the poultry farm at
the head of the lake, it is known as
the Whitefish Poultry Farm, and
everyone will know where it is. 1t
Is all the same as living in the city

Angus McWilliams, who has been
connected with this city ever since
it was started, died at 8 O'Clock
Monday night at the Steffens hotel,
from a stroke of apoplexy. He was
sitting in chair in the hotel office
reading a paper; his glasses fell of
and in STOPPING to pick them up he
was stricken unconscious, and died
about an hour later
Mr.. McWilliams has been suffer-

closely confined to his room. He
has a son living in Regina, Sask.,
who, upon being informed of his
fathers delicate condition sent
money for him to come there, and
he consented to go, but wanted to
wait until after election. He was ap-
parently as well as ever all day long
and went to the polls in the after
noon to fulfil his greatest desire.
1t was only short time after the
election returns were announced
that he breathed his last.
Mr.. McWilliams was a carpenter
by trade and helped to put up some
of the first business houses in the
town. Later OH he went into busl-
ness for himself, selling out two
years ago, after which he became an
