HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years. conditions
in all lines of business. even profession
al life, have changed so completely that
every man is waking up to the fact
that in order to win success he must
specialize and learn to do some one
thing and do 1t well.
So it Is with any article that Is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount Of advertising Will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the re-
markable record maintained by Dr. Kill
mer's Swamp Root. the great Kidney.
Liver and Bladder Remedy. From the
very beginning the proprietors had 50
much confidence in 1t that they invited
every one to test 1t.
1t is physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands OF I'M
solicited letters received from former
sufferers who claim they are now en-
loving good health as a result OF it's use.

beautiful story. In dramatizing 1t,
Lew Wallace's novel has lost none of
Its splendid qualities. 1t is well for
people that such q play as Ben Hur'
comes once in while. 1t is u pity
that more Ike 1t are not produced. In
the whirlwind life Americans are lead
Ing 1t is too frequently that many per-
sons forget the serious and sacred side
Of life entirely. "Ben-Hu teaches g
mighty lesson. In the last scene of
the play the whole spirit Of awe and
reverance IL brought to climax and
an exaltation difficult to believe Of the
theatre Is the result. The moment is
when Jesus makes His triumphal en-
try into Jerusalem. The populace are
gathered without the gates singing
HOeannas and casting flowers and palm
branches in the pathway Of the expect
ed King. The actual presence Of Christ
Is indicated by a great white light,
for the figure of Jesus Is never seen in
the flesh: but the effect Is that Of a
benediction Of the drama in awed and
reverent mood. Odeon.

FAILING HEALTH CAUSES NEW
Baptist MINISTER TO GIVE
W HIS WORK.
TO LIVE OUTDOOR LIFE
TO REGAIN HIS HEALTH
Expect. 70 Remain With the Church
r Until June I Unless New PASTOR 10
Secured in the Meantims-Mr. Col.
vsr will 90 Into Northern Minnesota
10 Spend the Summer.

Because Of falling health, Rev.
A. F. Colver, pastor of the Baptist
church OF this city since Dec. l, pre-
scented his resignation to the church at
the mid week meeting Thursday night
The resignation will not become effec-
tive until June l unless the church
| should, in the meantime, secure another
pastor. In that event Rev. Mr. Colver
will leave sooner.
"My action is taken because I feel
can not DO the church Justice" said
Mr.. Colver today. There is no use OF
my trying to go along on three cylind-
ers whenki ought to be at my best to
serve the church as it should be served,
have not been able to do any social
work, and have not been able to meet
! my people socially, and this Is essen
tial to successful work"
Physician Advises Change.
Rev. Mr.. Colver has been suffering
from a severe nervous strain which,
altho it has not assumed the PROPOSE
tons of a breakdown. might develop
into such if a rest We're not taken.
At Webster City last week Mr.. Colver
consulted his family physician. who adj
vised that he take a long rest from
pastoral work and get out Of doors.
Mr.. Colver expects to be out Of pastoral
work for about a year, at least.
Mr.. Colve- will go into the lake re-
gion of northern Minnesota for the
| summer and will fish and live out Of
doors. His father w. o. Colver, lives
near Park Rapids, and brother. o. D,
Colver, is in the automobile livery
business at Park Rapids. 1t is likely
! Mr.. Colver will assist him during a
part Of the summer.
Church Regrets Resignation.
Rev. Mr.. Colver does not regret the
necessity Of making the change more
than does his church, the members Of
| which had already grown TO admire
their new pastor and his ability. To
the general membership Of the church
the presentation of the resignation
came as surprise. but to the deacons
1t was known that the action was
forthcoming. It had been intended ia
withhold the resignation until a success
sor could be found, but the presenta-
ton was precipitated because the word
became noised about that Mr.. Colver
expected to resign.

AMUsEM ENTs.
Al G. Fields Minstrels Appear Before
Capacity Business at Odeon.


Capacity Business at odeon.
Capacity business. as usual, greet
ed AL G. Fields MINISTRIES upon their
annual engagement at the Odeon on
Thursday night and the large audience
enjoyed to the utmost the minstrel fea-
lures Of the 1914 aggregation.
Some Of the old-tin1e familiar faces
were applauded most heartily. and
some newer purveyors Of fun were well
coined Among the former were Der,
Swor and Johnny Dove, and prominent
among the latter was BILLY Clark
formerly with Field but not during the
last few seasons. For the first time in
several seasons "the old man himself
appeared in the first part. and was~ex-
tended a most cordial reception.
Fields MINISTRIES enjoy a unique place
in the amusement loving circles of not
only this, but other cities where they
have been playing for many years. Lo-
cally thru the Elks' lodge. which has
held for many years a reception and
spread" for the Ministries following
the performances, the minstrels have
made personal acquaintance who take
a personal interest in the annual visits
Of the company.
Swor and Clark divided honors
among the comedians. and Johnnie
Dove and Denny" Ryan made hit
in their song and dance, you Did, You
Know You Did" Clark's HE Blew on
His Bugle-e-oo" was the biggest sons
hit of the evening The choruses were
fine, the orchestration, under Thomas
p. Roper's direction. was better than
usual, and the specialties were up to
the standard. A musical team compos-
ed Of F. G. Henderson, H. L. Harvey
and S. B. Lewis. made more than good
by it's clever work.
1t is doubtful if any organization
outside of AL G. Fields MINISTRIES could
have packed the Odeon to capacity on
the eve Of the performances of Ben
Hur."

Walks 1900 Miles
In Fathers Behalf
Clarence Dietz Reaches New York
With 100000 Signatures
To Petition

After walking 1000 miles, getting
100000 signatures to a petition ask
ing President Wilson for pardon for
his father, and visiting every state
in the union, Leslie Dietz, son of John
E. Dietz, known as the Outlaw of
Cameron Dam for taking arms against
the lumber trusts of Wisconsin, has
reached New York, ending long trip
of twenty-five months.
Young Dietz, wiry, soft-spoken
man, with clear blue eyes, looked TIE
part of a tramp as far as his clothes
were concerned, but his manner ano
speech told another story.
Not once in the many months he
had sought a pardon for his father,
who is serving a life term in prison
at Waupun, Wis, for murder, did the
son lose his nerve until he WALKED up
Cortlandt street toward Broadway.
Then, knowing that his long journey
was done, he left the big petition fer
pardon weighing heavily in his hands.
re inquired his way to the pc itoifice
and the petition was mailed to Pres
ident Wilson.
Never in the 1000 mile walk did
Dietz ask charity. When his money
gave out he says he looked for work,
and made enough money to carry
him on. "Any man who wants work
can find work." he said.
Dietz has letters to Presidents Viii
son from many congressman, and on
his petition is the signature of almost
every governor of the states through
which he has tramped.
"The only work left for me now
Hietz said, "is to take my letters to
Washington. How shall l go? WHY,
walk. After my long jcurney, a trin
to Washington is merely a stroll.

Have Got Away With The Coat
But For One Thing

A fellow stole coat hanging in
front of a clothing store the other
afternoon But the proprietor was on
the job, and before the thief was half
block away he had the police and
most Of the neighbors on his trail.
The poor fellow who had taken the
coat was really coatIess before the
crime. And as he ran he struggled
into the distracted article, which fit
ted him pretty well, al things con-
sidered. And when he was appre-
hended, about four blocks from the
starting point, he protested his in
nocence stautly.
"What dye mean I stole the coat?"
he said. "Pve had this coat all sum-
mer. Why, amt had it off my back
for week.

Head Barber grunted. And the
stranger put on his wearied smile
and said something in the affirmative.
