JOHNSON SUPPLY co.

This f.-m is comparatively we'll
known wherever range territory ex-
tends. 1t was established in the year
of 1908 and engaged in active, prosper
Gus business since that time, with all
manner of household supplies emanat-
ing from the place of business at 200
Central. Mr.. G. R. Johnson is the
proprietor, from whence the company
derives it's name The Columbia
Graphophones and records is one Of
the biggest selling lines handled by
this CONCERN, but the many others all
play their own fair parts in the retail
ing of household merchandise. The
Johnson Supply Company sells rugs,
carpets, settees, chairs, stoves, hall
trees, cabinets, tables, stands, chiffon
iers, mating, picture Trainings, gas fix
lures, bathroom appliances, all find
distribution through the many chan
nels of commerce which this firm al
ways keeps open. The iron range is
we'll supplied with everything stocked
in household furniture and utensils,
and this is the concern that sees to the
work. This is not case Of too much

practically indispensable on the range,
and Mr.. Johnson had we'll maintained
an upright reputation of stability and
moral and financial rectitude.

district reeking with pristine and vo-
ciferous delight. None of these things
remain to bear evidence as to what
really existed, for the past state is
distinctly past, and so far gone as to
make it most futile to attempt it's
recollection or revival. While the
mining interest is still predominant,
Virginia has developed tremendously
as a general commercial center tor
the range country. 1t offers many
other attractions than those to be
fcund resultant from the working of
its surrounding mineral territory
During recent years Virginia has de-
veloped a most surprising manufacture
ing leaning, and this has been given
ample encouragement by citizens and
promoters alike, so that fine hold
has been taken in this line and with
constantly building up additions to the
manufacturing foundation upon which
Virginia will some time rest. T he
civic organizations of Virginia are in
defatigable in their efforts to render
sufficient publicity that the wealth and
agricultural possibilities extant in the
rich, we'll watered lands near by will
prove attractive and convincing to the
settler and farmer. SO much has been
advertised with regard to the range
country that all the average person
thinks of is desolate mining section
where but little arabic land can be
had. This impression is gradually be-
ing obsquatulated and done away with
and it is now coming to be we'll known
that fertile and productive soil af-
fords opportunity for the farmer and
settler in the nearby portions of ter
ritory to Virginia. The past few years
have seen many people moving in with
the view only to dairying and small
farming, and this will initiate greatly
in favor of the country and its COM
mercial steadiness as the years roll by.
Thus Virginia stands for opportunity,
both to those with capital to invest
and to those whose capital consists
of muscle and ambition. Situated
somewhat to the west of the center of
St. Louis county, this city is an ideal

MINNESOTA CANDY
KITCHEN.

Northern Minnesota's finest confec-
tionery. 1t is all of that, and no one
who enters the establishment of the
Minnesota Candy Kitchen, Mr.. H.
Hankinson, proprietor, can we'll deny
the fact. The present management
has been in charge since Dec. 18th,
1914, and has just shaped affairs so
that the trade knows what to expect,
and how good quality of goods and
service is maintained in the new re-
gime. This concern manufactures its
own candy and ice cream and does it
in a sanitary manner and with the
employment of only the very choicest
materials. A large line of cigars and
tobaccos, together with fruit and vege-
tables when in season, make the en-
tire atmosphere of the store one of
sweetness, cleanness and versatility
of goods. The flooring of this place
The Irish standard., 1915-09-01

is entirely of tile and mirrors are ar
ranged in the wall sides. The candy
display cases are the finest made, and
the combination of confectionery,
fresh fruits, vegetables, cigars, tobac-
cos, all appealing to the taste, togetll-
er with the handsome furnishings,
make it indeed neat and attractive
store. Delivery of ice cream or con-
fectionery to order is one of the big
features, and the residents of Vir-
ginia are learning to rely on this place
more and more for courteous, prompt
service and quality goods.

THE STAR BAKERY.

All over the iron range bread must
necessarily be eaten. And bread is
eaten. And it is one kind Of bread.
And it is made by one bakery and
that in Virginia. The Star Bakery
makes the Johnson Best Loaf and that
is the bread which is eaten far and
wide over the scope of country taking
in the iron range. Needless to say, it
is the leading bread in Virginia, and
that all grooers for miles around are
supplied with this Johnson Best Loaf
also goes without saying. The fac
tory is at 205-2O7 Maple Street, where
fourteen men and five girls are kept
busy filling city and out-of-town Or
ders and supplying the three wagons
that ply industriously back and forth
catering to the city's hunger. The
business is both wholesale and retail,
and is assuming larger proportions
day by day. The proprietor of the
Star Bakery is MIR. Edward C. A.
Johnson, and he is sparing no pains
to make his product all that bread
can ever be, and the service with
The Irish standard., 1915-09-01

which orders are filled is the most
expeditions found in this part of the
country. In case you do not know
the telephone number right off first
thought, we will say that it is No. II.
What's bred in the bone can't be beat
out in the flesh, but there'll be no
need of it if the Johnson Best Loaf
is the bread used.

Virginia is one of the surprising
cities of northern Minnesota: 1t is

MORE TERRITORY DRY

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 12.-The
city council refused to grant the sa-
loon keepers a renewal of their IL
censes. This means that the 80 sa-
looms of Des Moines will permanently
close their doors Saturday night.
Saloon keepers here Immediately be-
gan preparations to move their stocks
out of buildings occupied by them and
ship them out of the state. 1t was es-
timated that nearly $500,000 worth Of
liquors would either be sold at "bar-
gain sales" between now and Saturday
night or Grated for shipment. Fully
900 bartenders will be out of jobs as
the result of the city councils closing
order.
The council took steps to retrench in
money expenditures to meet the loss
of $4,000 in saloon revenues.

KENDRICK MAN HELD
! BURGLARY CHARGE
ERNEST DAVIS WILL BE ARRAIGN.
ED in COURT TOMORROW FOR
PRELIMINARY HEARING
Money Disappeared From Safe II
E Ranch Home of Samuel Bigham
Last Spring

Ernest Davis of Kendrick was ar
rested and brought to Moscow last
night, and at ten O'Clock tomorrow
morning will be arraigned before Judge
Morgareidge of the Probate Court for
a preliminary hearing on the charge ci
burglary. Davis was released on a
five hundred dollar bond signed by his
father, John W. Davis and uncle Joseph
W. Davis, both of Kendrick.
On or about May IS, 1914, four hun
dred dollars disappeared from a safe
in the home of Samuel Bigham on his
ranch on American Ridge. At the
time, Mr.. Bigham was absent on a
trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas, but
Mrs. Bigham and his son, Walter, were
at home, and Ernest Davis was EN-.
ployed on the ranch. 1t is alleged that
he knew the combination to the safc.
and that it was also known to one 9TH
ed person outside of the family.
All concerned in the incident are old
residents of Kendrick or the American
Ridge districts, are we'll known, and
have always enjoyed the highest re-
spect of their neighbors and acquaint-
ances. Great interest has been taken
in the matter ever since the money dis
and particularly since the ar
rest of Davis yesterday afternoon 1t
is expected that many people from
Kendrick will come up tomorrow to

BLOCK SYSTEM EXPLAINED
Difference Between Old and New
Methods Followed in Calculating
Light Bills Pointed Out

The residential lighting rate sched-
ule fixed by the recent order of the
Public Utilities Commission differs
from the old schedule in form as well
as in the rates. The old schedule was
of the form known as the sliding
scale, and is open to severe criticism
To avoid the difficulties which arise
under such schedules, the Commission
seems to be encouraging the adoption
of the so-called block system, of which
the new Moscow schedule is an ex-
ample.
The Mnlts of the one and the ad-
vantages of the other are most, easily
understood by considering specific
example
The old schedule fixed the rates at
is cents per kilowatt hour on bills up
to 20 kilowatt hours per month, IA
cents on bills from 21 to 40 kilowatt
hours, 13 cents on bills from Al to
100 kilowatt hours, and so on. 1t is
clear that a schedule that would ap-
pear to make the charge for 40 kilo-
watts $3.50 and that for 43 kilowatts
only $3.50 would be subjected to much
criticism.
The new schedule fixes the rates at
$1.00 for the first XIV. hrs, the next
12 at II cents per XIV. hr., the next
10 at 10 cents, and all over 30 XIV.
hrs in one month at cents. In this
schedule there can be no such incon-
sistency as was pointed out in the
sliding scale schedule. 1t is called
a block system from the fact that
charges can be graphically represent
ed by rectangles, which arranged side
by side have the appearance of pile
of blocks. 1t is rapidly superceding
the sliding scale which must ultimately
disappear. While practically the same
results can be obtained with both
schemes and regulations to cover the
fault pointed out in the sliding scale
are generally used, the endless discus
sion which arises from them warrant
the change.
