Few towns of any size enjoy the
prosperity of Candy, a modern little
city of 1000 people, situated in South
western Minnesota, in Yellow Medi-
cine county. There are many con-
tributing causes for this:
Candy is located in the heart of
one of the most productive agrlcul

It is the most important CONNER

so to 10 bushe Is of prize corn per
acre in their annual contests.
Candy is an important dairying CEN
every hand Seventy-six more farm
ers in this vicinity sowed alfalfa last
year than the year previous. Few
towns can boast of better equipped
or more successful creamery than the
Candy Creamery Co., whose North
Star" butter is being taken at pre-
MUM each week in New York and
Chicago markets. Their auto trucks
visit the farms several times weekly
for cream.
Candy has six grain elevators and
large flour milling company which
provide a market for more than a
million and a half bushels of grain
yearly.
1t is the largest primary poultry and
egg market within a radius of forty
miles and the local produce company
pays out many thousands of dollars
each month to the farmers in this To-
cality.
1t is quite a financial center with
three strong banks which have re-
sources of more than a million and

TW0VA VALUAbLED0GSARE
KILLED BY LARGE BEAR

Somewhere in Bemidji today there
is a big black bear. For several
weeks he has been annoying people
of the communities he has visited
but in some miraculous manner he
has been able to escape searching
parties WHICH have endeavored to
capture him. His latest episodes
have been no less sensational than
those of two weeks ago when he
frightened three women who were
walking in the woods near Grand
Forks Bay and when he entered the
tent of camper at Diamond Point.
Two valuable dogs have fallen prey
to his attacks during the last sew
eral days, the canine of Robert Sci
bert being killed last evening and
that of George Pellow several nights
ago. Last night the bear was seen
by several. Fellows dog was killed
in the yards of the Crookston Lum-
ber company following long battle
with Mr.. Bruin. The night watch
man at the mill claims that he saw
the bear Workmen at the mill
have found a nest between two lum-
ber piles in which the bear lived but
careful watch for the animal has
failed.

EXEMPT FROM STATE TAX
Insurance Ruling by Supreme Court
Saves Much for Farmers.

Decisions, meaning thousands Of
dollars to the farmers of Minnesota,
have been filed by the state supreme
court, holding the farmers mutual
hail and cyclone insurance companies
of the state exempt from the two
per cent tax levied by the state on
insurance premiums. The court
held that these companies are not
operated for profit and that they are
exempt, the same as the township
mutual fire insurance companies. All
of these concerns are sustained by as
sessments made once a year to meet
losses and actual expenses. The de-
cision also sweeps aside the classifi-
cation made in an act exempting
from the tax only such companies
as pay salaries of less. than $1,000 a
year. 5ss.ftasz

The Grand Forks Herald in COM
menting on the carnival, says:
"The Patterson company offers
some exceptionally good attractions.
The animal show, which is staged
in the main tent, is a veritable cir
Gus and much larger than the or
binary performance of a carnival
company. Features of the show are
trained elephants and high school
horse act, the groups of trained bears
and lions and the performing dogs.
"The Annex, which is located near
the main tent, is attracting large
crowds. The tent contains a variety
of attractions, which range from the
fat man and the fattest mother in
the world to the glassblowers and
the man who scratches his back with
his shoulder blades It is monster
side show and one that is worth
while. ..
''Joyland,' one of the mechanical
attractions, is more than it's name in
dicates. It is one Of the best shows
of it's kind ever seen in the city. The
Road to Tipperary' also amused hum
dreds of people yesterday"
The Herald also speaks in compli-
mentary terms of the "Laughing
Gallery" the 1Motordrome, Jungle

ALLIES OBJECT TO y j PLAN J 4 |
Fail to Agree With Russia in Plan to
Establish Military Board-Slavs
Are Dissatisfied,
NATIONS NOT IN HARMONY
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, July 22.-The inability
of England and France to develop a
strong offensive on the western bat
tie front is causing much unfavorable
comment in Russia. The Slavs de-
clare they are being sacrificed to the
continued unpreparedness of their
allies and a suggestion is finding ia
vor at Petrograd that a single board
of military control be appointed with
supreme command over all of the
allied armies.
Neither France nor England is will
ing to agree to this proposal, which
in reality is strong criticism of
the reluctance of the western nations
to coordinate their strategy. Lack
of coordination, in fact, has worked
immense damage to the allies during
the past year. There continues, how
ever, in London and Paris, though
more particularly in London, an in
sistent demand for freedom of action.
Neither nation is willing to subor-
dinate it's own desires for the good
of the whole, since that might re-
suit in a disproportionate gain for
one ally alone.
Germany is taking advantage to
the full of the individualism which
dominates the allies plans. The
Germans in this respect have played
in great luck. The fact that Eng
land and France must be content to
sit idly by and watch Russia now be-
ing overrun will unquestionably form
one of the greatest criticisms that
history will pass on the present cam
paign. When Russia is crippled the
Anglo-French armies may be in a
position to develop a combined offen-
sive of their own, but by that time
they, in turn, can expect no help from
the Slavs.
The Germans are especially capable
of taking advantage of their enemy's
lack of military unity, because a
similar condition permitted Frederick
the Great to win Prussia's seven-year
war against France, Austria and
Russia. The triple powers allied
against Frederick could no more at
tack in concert than England, France
and Russia are able to do now.
Frederick thus was given oppor-
tunity to throw his armies against
them in turn; while at critical mo-
ments for Prussia, Frederick's op-
ponents would suddenly halt their
just as France and Eng
land are doing now. History is re-
peating itself, in fact, for Germany's
immense and perhaps decisive bene-
fit. Discord may be an inevitable
weakness even of coalitions fighting
for their lives, and the present allies
may never be able to work in unison
though this war, too, lasts seven
years.

PREUS FAYORS SETTLERS
Oscar Arneson, New Head of Land
Department, Outlines Policy of
State Auditor-Strong for No. l
SHOULD REGARD MONEY AS LOAN

When the next sale of state swamp
and school land is Beltrami county
is held here, on Wednesday August
II, it will not be conducted by Theo-
dore Nelson, who for several years
has been in charge Of this depart
ment Of the state auditors work, but
by Oscar Arneson, the newly appoint
ed manager. Mr.. Nelson, who has
so efficiently handled the work, has
been transferred to the position of
chief clerk of the Auditors office.
Discussing the proposed revolving
fund amendment to be No. 1, on the
ballot, the passage of which means
so much to Bemidji and this section
of the state, Mr.. Arneson, who per-
haps in the best known for his long
service as chief clerk of the Mime
sofa house of representatives, said:
Estate Auditor Preus, during his
short term of office, has set out to
pursue more liberal land policy and
is endeavOring to have the remaining
available state land come into the
possession of actual settlers, and as
result Mr.. Preus is intensely interest
ed in the adoption of the amendment
permitting the loaning of $25O,OOO
from the state school fund to actual
settlers to assist them in clearing and
improving their land, and it is the
firm belief of those most familiar
with the proposed amendment that if
the people of southern Minnesota un-
derstood that this money is not a
direct appropriation but is merely
loaned from the states university
school fund and will return to the
fund with interest added, that the
people of the southern part of the
state would vote for it.
''The failure of the people to adopt
this amendment last November was
largely caused by misunderstanding
as TO these facts. We have heard it
quite often expressed while travelling
in the couthern and western portions
of the state that it was a direct ap-
preparation. I trust that the news
papers of the northern portion of the
state will take this subject up and
let it be thoroughly understood be-
fore the next election.
actual settlers are what we want
on the state lands and State Auditor
Preus feels that by lending all pos
sible encouragement to the men who
come up here and prepare home
should be given all possible financial
encouragement, and that the state is
rich enough to give them at least a
first lift"
