COMPLAIN OF SElNERS
ON THE ILLINOIS SIDE

Quite a number of complaints have
been made by Clinton fishermen lately
about the number OF people SEEMING in
the slough on the Illinois side OF the
river. This slough is the place where
the sportsmen of Clinton do their fish
ing, and lately it seems the fish war
dens have been rather lax in watching
this particular spot.

( NORTH STAR COLLEGE

In less than week, Sept. 20, the.
seventh year of school work begins
at North Star College. The prospects
for a good year have never been bet
ter; for, Judging from indications, we
will have a large enrolment. All
conditions, too, seem favorable: the
crops and prices are good; work has
been plentiful during summer and
fall; both young people and old are
more and more realizing the value of
an education; the college representa-
tiyes have in different ways been ac-
tive in calling attention to the col
lege; and, lastly, we have something
OF which everyone-student gradu-
ates. teachers and friends-is proud
to represent-the school itself.
We now have one of the best school
buildings in the Northwest. We can
always feel proud of showing it 20
visitors and friends. We can here
comfortably care for large number
Of students.
We could also boast of the work
that the teachers of N. S. C. have ac-
compished. They are all specialists
in their lines of work. But let re-
suits talk. s ~ 81 r. & s..
North Star College is an institution
of the Red River Valley, and we try
to educate for the Red River Valley.
We want the young people, the work.
ers. the hustlers, to stay at home to
help develop the vast resources of the
Red River valley-let us repeat it.
We have not once advised any Of
our students or graduates to go to the
larger cities. The competition there
is already too keen, and the individn-
al IS lost in the numbers On the 9th
er hand. we urge our students first of
all to stay at home to help their par
ents, as long as their help is wanted
and needed. If they come from the
farm, we want to send them back 10
the farm.
And we are proud of our students.
They have with but remarkably few
exceptions turned out to be splendid
workers. But what can we do, if
there is nothing in the boy or girl 70
begin with. Can we make diamond
out Of any kind of rock, do you SUP
pose? Can the artist or the carpenter
pick up any kind Of wood at all for
his carvings? Can he take a worm
eaten piece of wood "a cigaret-fend)
and make anything but a-well not
even a ablock- head" out Of it! You,
father, if you say your son comes
back from school lazy, good-for-noth-
ing, worthless, remember that it was
only natural. We have had two or
three such boys in our six years; but
don't blame the school. The boys
have had the opportunity, and they
may yet wake up to become men.

CROOK STON AUTO
WRECKED ON BRIDGE
CAR MIRACULOUsLY SPANS THE
OPENING - OCCUPANTS
ARE BRUISED.

An automobile accident, strange
and miraculous in its outcome, took
place Thursday evening on the road
between Angus and this city. The
car had evidently been driven at a
high rate of speed and on approach
ing the culvert near the Springmeier
farm, the driver was unable to check
the machine in time, so they dashed
over pile of planks and into the op-
ening. Fortunately plank spanned
the trench which one Of the wheels
followed, but which broke before the
front wheel reached the other side,
leaving the car suspended over the
culvert. Had the wheel not hit that
plank the car would undoubtedly have
plunged headlong into the 6 or 8 feet
deep trench and the occupants would
some at least, have received fatal in.
juries. As it was they were badly
Jared. those in the front seat being
thrown into the windshield, receiving
severe cuts about the head.
The car belonged to and was driven
by Ted Stromberg who was accom-
panied BY Walter Casey, Peter Kie-
wei, William Kingsley, Christ Fisher
and another whose name we have not
learned, all Of Crookston. They went
to the farmhouse Of Springmeier and
dressed their cuts before car arrived
from the Warren Auto company
which brought them hither.
The culvert has been open for some
time, cement bridge has been con-
structed in the middle, leaving on
each side an opening. On either side,
about 40 feet from the bridge, was
placed a pile of planks to serve as an
obstruction.

NORTH STAR COLLEGE NOTES

The college begins its seventh
school year next Tuesday, Sept. 20. A
good enrolment is expected. We
have list of names of families who
can accommodate students with board
and room; but if there should be more
we should be glad to find out. Tele-
phone lat.
Students have already arrived. Har-
ry c. Anderson from Alvarado was
number one on the scene. More will
follow
Judith Peterson, ID, of Alvarado,
has enrolled at Gustavus Adolphus
college in st. Peter. Ella Olson, one
of our music students from Warren
IS sasn at Gustavsas Aaola,.nss.
O. A. Finseth, ID, who had charge
of the state fair exhibit, returned last
week. He will spend some time at
his home near Oslo.
Miss Ruth Abrahamson, II, is this
year teaching at Grafton, N. D.
Miss Hilma Peterson, '13, and her
sister Edythe Peterson, one of our
former students, are both teaching in
eastern Marshall county.
Orville Gustafson, one of our last
years students, will begin to teach a
school near Strathcona next week. He
expects to return to college to COM
plete his commercial course after the
holidays.
DR.. J. S. Carlson and Prof. C. E..
Sjostrand are spending the week in
and around Hallock. They report
splendid success.
Prof. O. E. Abrahamson has given
his house coat Of paint and had new
cement walks put in.
Arthur Wilson is busy these days to
get everything at the college into
spick and span condition for the open
ing of school, Sept 20.
We would urge that as many of the
students as possible, whether they
can begin Immediately or not, come to
enroll next Tuesday, Sept. 80. This
applies also to those who wish to take
music or art. If you come at a later
date, it means that some Of the teach
ers will have to take their time from
something else. Therefore, again,
let us have record enrolment next
Tuesday. Come early or late in the
day; but try to come on Tuesday.

NO BACKACHE IN KIDNEYS.
People Often Misled and Needlessly
Alarmed.

Shameful lying seems to be q ne
cessitv in all fake medical treatment"
says DR.. H. w. Hill, executive secre-
tary of the Minnesota Public Health
association. "For instance, backaches
are common. They are, therefore, adj.
gertised as invariably indicating kid
ney trouble. Most people with back
aches believe this, and, so, call for
kidney treatment. The fact is, kidney
trouble almost never produces pain in
the back. Backaches are caused by
almost anything except the kidneys.
Of all the different things that go to
make up our bodies, almost the last
and the least to ache is the kidney.
Kidney trouble sometimes produces
headaches, but people do not know
this and neglect the sign entirely, TAX
ing headache powders or something
equally harmful. The only safe way to
discover whether you have kidney dis
ease or not is to go to an expert phys
ician and have a thorough examina-
ton made

miles north Of Warren. Eight of his
ears were sold for a dollar apiece to
The Pioneer Land Co., Warren, MINI.
The seed from these plats should not
go out of the community in which it
is located and I hope that the farm
ers' clubs will encourage these boys
in their efforts to sell the seed corn
off from their acre plats. On Satur-
day Of last week two plats were husk-
ed and weighed and three have been
measured. II takes two hours, to
measure, husk and weigh the corn
from one plot and with some aid from
the family on the place, it can be done
