Brooks might want to sell all his
building, the city would have sur
plus with both the new and the old
portions of his building.
Asked about the expense of build
ing, Mcclure said that the new
Brooks building originally cost lit
lie over $4,000 but could not be dup
heated now for less than $2S,000, that
it could be converted into building
meeting all the requirements for an
up-to-date sanitarium and bath
house Tor about $1,000 to $4,000 He
suggested making a porch full length
and on each floor along east side OF
the building, so arranged that it can
be inclOsed with glass at any time
for sun rooms. The present walls
are ample to carry three more stories
and by remodeling this building it
would be as substantial as any new

give Mr. Brooks promise OF lease on
the building, but wait until nearly

Marcus G. Cutter, until recently
purchasing agent for the state board
OF control, is now the owner of the
Thief River Falls News, having pur-
chased the same from Mrs. John W.
Eastman. Mr.. Cutter is live wire
and practical newspaper man and
thief River Falls is live town, hence
1t is expected that be will get out
readable paper.
Next Saturday, at the old capitol,
st. Paul, the Minnesota Territorial
Pioneers association will hold it's
annual meeting. May IL is the fifty
fourth anniversary of the admission
OF the state into the union. The days
program includes a social hour,
dinner in the G. A. r. dining hall,
literary and musical features and an
hour for reminiscent talks. =
The Elk River Milling company,
valued at over $4,000, was sold to
the Lawrence National bank of
Lawrence, Mass. for $40, 900 at pub
lie sale last Saturday. The mill was
sold to satisfy mortgage held by the
bank for $40, 866. It is understood the
business will be continued as before
and that the situation will be salts
factorily worked out in few weeks.
Entries for the first monthly butter
contest have been called for by Joel
G. Winkjer, state dairy and food CON-
missioner, and must reach St. Paul
not later than May II. Five other
contests will be arranged about a
month apart. The state will be
divided into six districts, counties
with similar conditions being grouped
together. Prizes will be awarded in
each district monthly and the butter
maker holding the highest average for
the six competitions will receive
gold watch. For the highest score in
the state grand championship prize
will be awarded.
The mayoralty situation changed
again at Fergus Falls on Saturday
when the supreme court held that
crosses placed in the blank square be-
Iowa candidates name should not be
counted for anyone. Nelson and W.
81. Mcbride tied at the city election
a month ago, and the council cast
lots and Mcbride won. Nelson an.
pealed to the district court, and that
court held that certain ballots with the
cross opposite the. blank square below
McBride's name should be counted
for him. This gave him a clear ma
jority. He has now served a month,
has appointed his police force, and
council committees. Nelson will dis
charge the entire police force and put
in new men. Mcbride is no-license
man and Nelson is license man.

How to Get Rid of 1t.

The annual temperance of the
pestiferous cutworm, the enemy of
gardeners and farmers. will take
place about May Is, according to
Professor F. L. Washburn, state en-
tomologist, who, in the May issue Of
Minnesota Insect Life, published a
few days ago, tells how to rid the soil
of the pest.
Examination of the soil by Profess
sor Washburn revealed the presence
of about as many cutworms as last
year, which was considered banner
year for the pests. Before planting
the soil should be carefully examined,
says the bulletin, and if any are
found, paper collars, extending three
inches into the ground and two inches
above, should be placed around each
plant. If the soil is free from the
worms, single fence around each
garden patch will keep out the in
sects. Bran mash mixed with paris
green and cheap molasses until the
mixture is decidedly green in color,
and scattering it about the garden,
also is recommended by Mr.. Wash
burn. Newly turned sod is full of
cutworms and the only safe method
to rid the soil of the insects is to pillow
the sod in the fall and let the elements
kill the worms. Flax crop on newly
broken ground will drive away the
worms.

Troubadours Defeated.

The Princeton Troubadours and the
Zimmerman Huskies clashed at the
fair grounds last Sunday and Zim-
norman grabbed the long end of an
Is to Is score, after nine innings of
terrific batting by both teams. The
first inning resulted in a blank for
both sides and Zimmerman also failed
to score in the second round. Prince
ton gathered in one score in the
second inning and two more in the
third.
The fourth round opened with the
score to 0 in favor of the Trouba-
dours and Princeton's prospects
looked bright, but Zimmerman was
out to win and started batting rally
of no small proportions, scoring eight
runs in the one inning. This gave
them a good lead, which they held to
the end. Princeton put in a strong
bid for the game in their half of the
eighth when, by some timely hitting,
aided by errors, they pushed six runs
over, but the Huskies from Sherburne
county had too much of a lead for
them to overcome. Stay and Angst
man were in the points for the
Troubadours and performed in
creditable manner.
Jess Angstman handled the indi-
Gator in a manner that was entirely
satisfactory to both sides. H.
A fair sized crowd was in atten-
dance and thoroughly enjoyed the
game, it being an interesting exhibi-
ton from start to finish.

Do you know how
To find quick relief from backache:
To correct distressing urinary ills;
To assist sick kidneys?
There's one way-your neigbhors

Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth in many
tests.
Here's Princeton testimony.
David Whitcomb of Princeton,
Minn., says: 81 had attacks of kid
ney trouble and when I learned of
Doan's Kidney Pills I used them.
They helped me wonderfully. I know
of other persons who have taken this
remedy and have received relief from
pain and lameness in the loins. I feel
justified in advising anyone afflicted
with kidney trouble to give Doan's
Pills trial."

AS a further proof of mans abb
ject slavery to fashion, consider the
way he dresses in summer. Even
on the most tropical days he at
tires himself as IL he were going
on north pole expedition. He
puts on a wooden suit, a stiff
starched shirt, a three-ply stiff
starched collar, a thick silk neck
tie. Every. layer of clothes means
that much more heat to be endured,
but while he mops the steaming
perspiration from his brow he dons
the coat and vest that will pat him
in danger of perishing of heat apo
plexy before he gets home.
A few years ago a philanthro-
pist, seeking to mitigate the suffer-
ings Of his fellow man in the dog
days, tried to induce men to leave
their coats and vests in summer
and wear shirtwaists, as women do.
The idea had everything to recon-
ment 1t. 1t was comfortable, clean
ly, hygienic and even picturesque.
Abstractly, men, We're enthusiasts
tically in its favor, but when 1t
came to putting the theory into ac-
tual practice they were so COM
pletely dominated by fashion and
custom that they hadn't the BRAY
cry to do It.
In view of all these facts men
have no right to ridicule women
for the folly of their dress, or for
being slaves OF fashion We are
all tarred with the same brush. If
men point the finger. of scorn at
womens straight front, women can
retaliate by calling attention to
their choking collars, and if women
show their lack OF sense by wearing
too little clothes in winter. men
show their deficiency of intelli-
gence by wearing too many in sum
mer.
AS a matter of fact women have
a better excuse for being slaves of
fashion than men have, because
women dress to please men. Thev'd
be glad enough to be loose, and fat.
and comfortable, and would 90
about in flowing mother hubbards.
except that men demand trimness
and slimness in woman, and so
women have to sacrifice comfort to
that masculine ideal.
But women will take men how
ever they can get them so men
have nobody but themselves to
please and no justification for their
slavery to fashion.
