MINI NESOTA'S NOSE.
Curious History of the jog in Our
Northern Boundary Line.

NOFknGC0 bOuHQdTy GlNS.
How did the United States come to
get that small corner OF land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary OF Minnesota: History OF
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point of
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty Of 1888 the boundary
between the United States and British
possessions was fixed certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mutual
ly agreed to as one starting point. this
being considered the headwaters of the
st. Lawrence river and great lakes
system.
At that time ii was not known wheth.
er this point was north or south of the
forty ninth parallel, but 1t was known
to be close to it, The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should go north or south to the forty
ninth parallel, as the case might be
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north of the forty ninth par
allel and so ut this place the boundary
makes jog above that line
Uncle Sam thus has little piece of
territory Of about a hundred square
miles In extent north Of the general
boundary. And the joke of 1t Is that
any one has TO go by water in order to
reach this little piece of territory unless
he wants TO 20 through Canada.-Poth-
finder.

The company has established a
dental office in the plant. Teeth are

a dentist. Having learned this, the
company set about to furnish a parlor,
hire a dentist and send him large

stitution keeps his eyes open for per-
sons who are I'll If examination

they sit in the chair and let the doctor

WISCONSIN LIABILITY LAW.
All Employees to Garry Insurance un.
less Exempted by Commission.


A new workmen's compensation act,
approved by Governor McGovern Of
Wisconsin. effective Sept. l, provides
that every employer of four or more
persons will be subject to the provi-
sions Of the act unless he specifically
elects otherwise.
The benefit to injured employees or
their dependents remain almost un-
changed, the chief exceptions being in
the case OF workmen permanently dis
abled, In which even the compensation
is extended six years from the date Of
the injury The new act abrogates
the defense of connibutory negligence.
The act of 1917 abolished only the two
defenses of assumption Of risk and
negligence of n fellow servant
The provision under which employ
ers automatically will come under the
law unless they elect to the contrary
will affect approximately 1000 EN-
ployers in the state. 1.500 employers
having already come under the law
The new act contains provisions OF
considerable Importance to contractors
who are made liable for injuries to
employees Of subcontractors. Special
provision is made. however, for the
contractor to protect himself against
losses. A new section requires all en-
ployers to carry insurance unless ex-
empted by the industrial commission.

GROWTH OF UNIONS.
capital Shows Weakness In Pretend

ing TO Ignore Labor.
There are those who chafe at what
they regard as the slow growth of the
trade union movement. says the Shoe
Workers Journal They are impatient
because it is not Immediately as pow
erful as they recognize it could and
would be if it embraced the entire
wage earning population.
There are others, however, TO whom
the growth of the union movement APP
pears healthy and vigorous, all things
considered. 1t is only a few years
ago that the membership of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor was around
100000 A committee Of the Nation
al Manufacturers convention in De
troit recently reported in opposition to
the union label idea that the entire
Premiership of unions committed to
tle union label proposition was only
100000 At one time this statement
might have been applied to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor with truth,
but 1t would be about twenty years
ago, or, in other words, the figures are
about twenty years behind the times.

Proaress Due largely to Effort.

Organized labor has progressed, Sc
curing fuller measure of what 1t
produces, only by steady. persistent,
unremitting effort 1t has proved its
worth as 1t has gone, and recognition
has perforce followed But the end is
not yet. as a larger proportion of the

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol.

Did you ever cough for month!
Then just think how distressing II
must be to have cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, Of 81 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, n. Y, says: L mad
very heavy cold which settled into
/ chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken SO much. The effect
of taking your COD liver and iron rem
edy, Vino!, is that my cough is gone.
I can now get a good nights rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way"
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties Of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle Of Vinol, with the IN
derstanding that your money will
be returned II it does not help you.
