GlenWood in Wet Column.

Glenwood was one exception to
West Central Minnesota cities-it
went wet by 20 majority. The total
vote showed an increase over prev.
ious year. This reaction after one or
two years no-license is the usual re.
suit when the fight is taken UP. But
question is never settled until it is
settled right and the people of Glen
wood will never be content until they
drive the booze joints out for good.

MAIL SACKS RUN

If you have been expecting a
letter from the west that should
have. arrived several days ago it
may have been received at the Ely
postofice; but you may not get it
for several more days. And when
you do receive it you will not be
troubled by the work of opening
the envelope as that mas been done
for you at Ely, says the Exptsiror.
Several days ago at Cobre a mail
pouch containing bundles of letters
addressed to persons in Ely and
other places served from here was
thrown from train No. 20 of the
Southern Pacific following the usual
custom. The pouch must have
struck against something that
caused il to bounce back anu under
the train as it was run over and
nalf a dozen bundles of letters we're
cut in two as with a knife by the
wheels. According to the rules
and regulations of the mail service
matter damaged as this is must
be sent to the superintendent of
the railway mail service in San
Francisco and from there will be
sent to the persons for whom it is
intended as soon as that can be de-
termined.

EMBLEM or ETERNITY

almost incredible. 1t is quoted and

AS there are nearly 400 grams to

wonld be worth more than $685.
600, 600 and three pounds Of this
mysterious, miraculous element
would more than equal the entire
capital Of the Bank of England.
This new element which gives off
its light and heat and power for

is appealing to those who have en-
