people to take out or renew a sub
scription to newspaper so popular
and of such superior news merit; but
there were few who dreamed the work
would be so easy as 1t has actually
been found by all. The interest OF
the public in the success OF a favorite
was the influence which played the
final part.
Aggressiyeness VIII Win.
Now that the first period has come
to an end the aggressive competitors
will push their campaign with even
greater energy and vigor than during
the days of the period which has Just
closed. Their competitors may be in
clined for few days to take It easy
to indulge themselves in the fatal
luxury Of a pleasant rest, after their
strenuous work, of the last few DAYS.
This will give the aggressive competi-
tors Just the opportunity they seek. It
will give them opportunity to forge
ahead OF their resting rivals, and give
them start in the race for the goal
that 1t will be impossible for a rival
to overcome. The aggressive compet-
itor is keenly alive to those little on
portunities. and It will be these az
gressive competitors who watch for
every opening in the guard Of their
opponents who will win the seven

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-"The
River and Harbor Appropriation bill
will pass the Senate during the pres
ent session." This statement, made
in the most unequivocal manner by
Senator F. NJ. Simmons of North Car
DINA, chairman Of the powerful
finance committee and acting chair
man Of the committee on commerce
which prepared the waterway budget,
gives new angle to what has been
regarded by the friends of river and
habor improvements as a very serious
situation for the bill.

The opposition to the river and

small number of Senator's. The large
majority of senators feel that 1t is of
the utmost public Importance that the
bill should pass and they have ex-
pressed themselves to me in no I'M

whatsoever to party proclivities.
Almost ever since l entered the
Senate / have been member of the

an interest in every river and harbor

There are some items in every bill
that may be subject to criticism from

criticlsms spoken of.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Z. Poole have re-

gasoline. They left here two weeks
ago last Sunday morning in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles f. Hall
and son, driving that afternoon to
Marshall where the night and two or
three dollars were spent, going into
Minneapolis the neXt day. Both Fords
did as do all FOrds, behaved splendidly
and aside from a couple of punctures
no tire or car trouble was had. At
Lake Benton Mr.. Poole picked up an
upholsterer's tack that he had abso-
lutely 40 use for and a tire gave up
its breath. While putting in a new
tube the parry was visited by a pass,

got punCtured twice on the left hoof.
Mr.. Poole also ran over a canine that
resisted every effort of Mr.. Poole's to
miss him. This party is believed to
have established a record inasmuch as
they made some eighty miles on three
pancakes. And they were not very
good pancakes at that. Literature

and distributed at the various towns.
The only delays had were occasioned
by having to help the owners of large
cars out of the predicaments they con-
stantly got into. If we are to have
real majority rule in this country these
large, costly contraptions should be
kept off the roads as they interfere
with Ford drivers. There is no reason
why eleven Fords should be inconven-
fenced by one of these others, that be-
ing the ratio in which they are met on
the road.
