standing, the more intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes. The neighborliness OF
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
of the physical restraints of centuries.
This contribution to the future happiness and
prosperity of a more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming of a few isolated, concrete difficulties
It's success has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution was found only in the cumulative eff
feet Of improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transnitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department of the Bell System of which this
Company is part, has been engaged ever since
the telephone became commercial possibility,
less than 40 years ago. With no traditions TO
follow and no experience to guide, this depart
rnent, which is now directed by staff of over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in
vestigators-the graduates of 140 universities
has created an entirely new art-the art of tele-
phony, and has given to the people of this coun-
try telephone service that has no equal.
1t has required vast expenditures of money
and immense concentration of effort, but these
have been justified by results of immeasurable
benefit to the public. The transcontinental tele-
phone line, S,4Oo miles long, joining the Atlantic
and Pacific, is part of the Bell System of 100000
miles of wire connecting 100000 telephone sta
tons, located everywhere throughout the United
States. Composing this system are the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company and AS
ISOLATED Companies and connecting companies,

Immigration Heads
For Norttlf, Dakota
Nor::, Dakota Leads in immigration TO
Northwest for Meath of October
According Ry. Reports

According to the railway statis-
tics issued from Grand Forks head
quarters, there were during the
month Of October 44O cars OF immi-
grant moyals consigned to points in
the northwest, handled by the Min
pesota Transfer Railway Company.
Out of the total number handled 60
cars were for North Dakota, Wis
consin had so, Montana 81, Illinois
81. South Dakota IL and Canada9.
While there was not as great Il
movement during October as the
corresponding mrntil a year ago, the
Showing we made is very encourag-
ing. Ii the European var ends this
winter, trade will naturally be slim
ulated along all lines and loscning
up Of money will mean more immi-
grants into the northwestern United
States. Local land dealers state
that they have many good prospects
but a large majority Of them are un-
willing to make a move under the
present conditions.
Several new families have located

Governor Hanna makes no secret

Return From selfridge

J. J. Huse was in the city the
first OF the week on his way home
to Winona, after spending six weeks
with his son on their farm near
Selfridgc, where they had in consi-
derable grain and corn this year.
Mr.. Huse states that neither his son
or j. r. Harmon have their grain
threshcd, and prospects are that
they will not be able to secure a
machine this fall. Last year Mr..
Harmon was also unable to secure a
machine to thresh his grain. This
makes farming in that neighborhood
rather discouraging.

The President Of the corporation,
Nj .A. -auuefson, maK IS the follow
Ing comment on the business Of the
corporation:
"At the time when our books were
closed on the 3Gth Of October, there
were at least 100 cars in transit and in
terminals awaiting unloading weights.
lnasmatll as we can not make final
returns to shippers until loading
weights have been received, the com.
missions for those cars have not been
placed on the books, and hence havs
not been added to the revenue for
October. This commission would
amount to at least 100000, which, add
ed to the net income reported above,
amounts to s26,Oc0.0o for the period
covered.
"Our business is steadily on the
increase. We are securing new ac-
counts right along. Additional banks
also have given their financial assist.
anco to the movement. On August
1st, for instance, we had but four
psnhS accepting Equity paper for re-
discount. We have i'll the neighbor.
hood of twenty banks that are now ac.
cepting our securities for the financing
of the crop movement. We have also
increased our outlet for grain. 1t is
impossible now to supply the needs of
the buyers who are purchasing grain
from us. There never was a more
prosperous outlook for the Equity than
at the present time.
THE Equity farmers are planning
on a large convention to be held in
st. Paul, December 7th, Sth and 9th.
AT this time the ground for the Ter
minal Elevator will be broken. y
large number of speakers have been
secured, and men OF national promi.
nence will participate in this conyen.
ton. Over five Eousard farmers ars
expected to sttend."

WHY men
Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"oLD KENTUCKY" IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced to
civilization, nobody has ever discovered
SO Supremacy satisfactory way to get
all the flavor and enjoyment out of it
as chewing it. And no other form Of
chew can give you the hearty, whole
some, juicy favor that YOU get
from delicious high-grade plug tobac-
CO like Old Kentucky.
The secret of the greatest chewing
satisfaction lies in the selection of your
chew. Among plug tobaccos the brand
that gets the most enthusiastic en-
dorsement is undoubtedly Old Ken
lucky. The reason for this is not hard
to find.
Old Kentucky is made exclusively Of
ripe Kentucky Bur1ey-the most richly
favored chewing tobacco that grows.
Still more, only the very choicest of
all the Burley leaf is used for Old
Kentucky. - s..tt
This choice leaf is selected with the
most painstalsins care, Is stenmed by
hand, is thoroughly washed free of all
foreign matter and is pressed into
plugs so slowly that not drop OF
juice or an atom of favor escapes
Moreover, Old Kentucky is made under
the most rigid, clearly and sanitary
conditions. ~
The result is a sweet, mellow, ius-
cious, satisfying chew that cannot be
obtained in any other tobacco than Old
Kentucky.
