FRENCH LOSSES LIGHT
COMPARED WITH GAINS
IN CHAMPAGNE BATTLE
Terrific Artillery Bombardment
of German Trenches Before
Attack Greatly Reduced
Casualties
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN

PARIS, Oct. 2
From all sides come stories showing
that French losses in the Champagne
region have been surprisingly light. con-
sidering the nature of the fighting. The
officers fully expected to lose about 80 per
cent. Of their men in killed. wounded and
missing. As a matter of fact, the casual
ties averaged only about II per cent. This
was due largely TO the magnificent artll-
lery preparation. though countless ordi-
nary slight wounds in the head were pre-
vented by the new steel helmets.
The losses on both sides cannot be ac-
curately estimated. The Allies claim the
capture of nearly 10000 prisoners and re-
port total German casualties of more than
150, 600. Berlin reports that more than
1900 British and French prisoners have
been taken and describes the Allies losses
as enormous, but attempts no estimate Of
total casualties.
A corporal, who was wounded in the
heel said that In many places the Ger
man trenches were literally leveled by the
pounding of French guns and the German
occupants automatically buried.
1--WE charged across fields that were a
chaos of loose mud, kinks Of shattered
barbed wire, shreds of German uniforms,
battered headgear, knapsacks, shoes, tin
cups and mutilated dead" he said.
A wounded machine gun operator said
he and his gun mates carried their gun
on their backs two and half miles,
stopping occasionally ito tear off round
| for the bouches."
The new guns are beauties" he said.
They fire twice as rapidly as the old and
! give you no trouble. The Germans melt
| away before them"
A gunner who had been wounded in
the thigh reached Paris hospital "a
hours after he had been picked up, as the
result of the fine ambulance service.
ADVANCE TOO RAPID.
There is far less suffering out there
than in the battle of the Marne," he
said. "On our own side l saw but few
| dead. But they tell me that some OF
our men who charged the boches too
rapidly were caught in advanced pockets.
They caught il from In front and from
both tanks The fire Just blotted them
| out"
The new heavy artillery is wonderful,
the wounded men from the front declare.
Worn field pieces have been replaced by
new. Everything is In shipshape. ON
GERS and men fully expect a great VIC
tory.
I'VE are on even terms now in ar
tillery." said one officer. "and mark my
word-we'll get them before we quit"

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

From the report made to the Comp
troller of Currency on June 23rd last,
we find that the loans and discounts
of this bank foot up to $78S,O2O and
on a capital of $4,000, with surplus of
$50, ,27419 This is very fine figure
indeed but the best one of all is that
of the deposits, which show the splen-
did total of $1,16o,623.54, taking in, of
course, the individual deposits, those
of time certificates and those of de-
mand. The total volume of business,
that is, balancing the resources against
the liabilities, is one of $1,347 ,897.73,
which is an extremely huge amount
for a bank in a town the size of
Brainerd. The officers of this institu-
ton are: G. D. LaBar, president;
F. A. Farrar, vice PRESIDENT; R. B.
Wilmington, cashier; B. L. Lagerquist,
assistant cashier; A. P. Drogseth, as
sistant cashier. 1t was in 1881 when
this bank first came into existence,
and the years since that time have
been full of prosperity and growth as
a result of kindly and prompt service
in all those departments with which
the we'll handled banking institution
can so easily oblige its patrons, and
the development of the country tribu-
tary to Brainerd, and the prosperity
of the inhabitants of Brainerd and
its farming territory adjacent. Saw
ings deposits interest is compounded
semi-annually.
The Irish standard., 1915-09-01

down to the really more basic and
commercialized facts, Brainerd is the
county seat of Crow Wing county
and has something over ten thousand
people for inhabitants. 1t is the GEN.
ter of fast growing agricultural dis
trict and the well-known mining and
dairying possibilities turning every
day into realities. Numerous lakes
abound in the vicinity and attract the
sportsman for miles around. This
city is the metropolis of the iron
range, the Guyana by name, and
stands unique in the owning of min
eral lands in the city, bequeathed to
it by the late Judge G.. w. Holland.
The Northern Pacific shops, the great
est repair shops in the west, have
their home here, as we'll as foundry
and other manufacturing industries.
Brainerd's newly organized Chamber
of Commerce has over 500 members.
There is also a Boosters Club which
is doing some remarkably effective
work in letting the rest of the world
know where Brainerd stands, what
she has to say, and what she has to
show. The banks are sound as the
rock of Gibraltar, paying gold over
the counters in even the hardest times.
There is one mine belonging to Brain
erd, which operates right in the city,
the Brainerd-Cuyuna, while others
are being developed near by. The
Northern Pacific and the Minnesota &
International railways have division
points at Brainerd, and the latter road
has it's general offices here. A street
car line franchise has been granted
the Minnesota Central Railway Co. of
Duluth. The Minneapolis, Mile Laos
& Northern is seeking entry. 1t is
only in recent years that the farming
possibilities of Brainerd's countryside
were realized, as it was taken for
granted that the soil was of mostly
mineral origin and adjacent to what
was inevitably manufacturing and
mining town. But times have changed
and now very respectable quota of
dairying comes from this locality, as
we'll as diversified farming to good
extent.

JOHNSON'S PHARMACY.

"Your money back if not satisfied"
The Rexall Store. This pharmacy
is the oldest in Brainerd, being estab-
lished thirty-seven years ago. 1t was
first started by N. M. McFadden, and
in the year of 1882 Mr.. C. D. Johnson
joined the firm which then was Nc
Fadden & Johnson. Today the com
pany is Johnson's Pharmacy. Mr..
Johnson has been a resident of Brain
erd since 1877, has been alderman for
seven years, postmaster for four years
and state senator for four years. The
drug and accessory stock is one of
the most complete that one could
we'll imagine. Exclusive agents for
Symphony lawn stationery, Liggett's
& Fenway chocolates, Maximum,
Monogram, Roxbury and American
Beauty rubber goods; also for Violet
Dulce, Bouquet Jeanice, Alma,
Intense and New England per-
fumes and toilet preparations, Mar
guerite and Klenzo brushes. "Y our
money back if not satisfied" has long
been the slogan for this firms deal
ings, and this equitable and square,
toed system of dealing has won many
friends and kept customers as repeat
ers after their initial purchase. Few
pharmacies have so we'll established
trade. so limitless stock and so
as is found in this particular case,
excellent and enduring a reputation
that of P. Johnson's Pharmacy. 1t
is the place at which the people like
to trade, as can easily be seen by
watching the trade for few minutes.

H. F. MICHAEL COMPANY.

Some ten years ago this department
store came into popular notice and at
once took in favor with many of the
buying public in Brainerd. The build
ing in which this department store,
the H. F. Michael Company, is locat-
ed is one of fifty times one hundred
feet in size and is amply adequate for
the purpose. for which it serves. A
full basement helps a great deal in
the storing of stock and the showing
of some of the heavier and more mas
sive goods. The front of the edifcc
is one of arcade shape and pattern,
making an especially attractive en-
trance to the store proper. A nice
stock of dry goods is here to be had,
such as prints, silks, dress goods, cor
sets, we'll chosen line of shoes, and
several special articles with depart
ments of their own, such as Victrolas
and furniture goods of bric-a-brac and
ornamental origin. The millinery de-
partment is one that attracts consid-
cradle trade and is proving very salts
factory. A goodly trade flows into
the H. F. Michael Company store
from both city and the farming coun-
try centering on Brainerd. We COM
mend the H. F. Michael store to the
patronage of all our readers.

THE MODEL MEAT

is. 1t is sanitary meat market in
every sense of the word Meats of ALI
kinds; fish, fresh or salt; cheese;
canned goods; and with the home
made sausages speciality. Every
piece of equipment in this shop is
thoroughly up to date, and the in
terror with its furnishings is as clean
as whistle. 1t is much as this firm
says on its literature, eff you don't

shop where such a general atmosphere
of tidiness and sanitary condition is
to be noticed

The directors are identical with those
of the officers with the exception that
in the case of the directors, Mr.. F.
NJ. Koop and O. NJ. Scott are added
to round out the directorial body. The
general run of good, sound banking
business is prosecuted with all the
usual features of the routine. Four
per cent is paid on time deposits,
and the manner in which this de-
partment of the work is swelling up,
is indicative of how we'll it is taking
here in Brainerd. One can at the
Braincrd State Bank procure trav-
eler's checks, foreign exchange, out
of town drafts, cashiers checks, estab-
lish an open check account, open
up savings account, take certificate
of deposit. But of the different phases
