.ORTONYILLE TO BE-
CORN SHOW CITY
PLANS BEING LAID FOR
NEXT YEAR
Development Association This
Year Handled over $4,000
Worth of Alfalfa Seed and
Cholera Serum.

Ortonville will have the third an
nual corn and alfalfa exposition of
the West Central Minnesota Develop.
ment Association. The exposition
will be held next fall and Ortonville
was selected as the place to hold it at
meeting of the directors of the asso.
citation last Friday evening.
There was good representation of
directors at the meeting held at the
club rooms of the Morris Improvement
Union on Friday evening, besides a
large attendance of local friends of
the association. During the first part
of the evening the work ann accom-
plishments of the association were
considered and the unanimous opinion
expressed that the development asso.
citation had done great work both in
this district and in advertising this
district to the rest of the world.
At $50, Landlord Dushek furn-
ished most delicious banquet to the
company at the Merchants Hotel, and
visitors were pleased and home people
were proud of the elaborate menu and
the excellent manner in which it was
served.
After supper the company returned
to the club rooms where the affairs
of the association were further dis
cussed. AS Secretary M. E. Harrison
was about to present his resignation,
he submitted a financial statement of
the monies received and disbursed by
the association. This report was
audited by committee and found to
be most complete and accurate. Be-
sides the monies received and dis
bursed for Office expenses and the
receipts and disbursements of the last
corn show, the association handled
about $25, 900 worth of alfalfa seed
at cost for the farmers of this
district, and nearly $4,000 worth
of hog cholera serum.
Besides saving thousands of dollars
by this cooperative work. Mr..
Harrison has kept West Central
Minnesota in the limelight of pub
licity and awakened a home interest
and attracted an outside attention
which will be of immeasureable
value to the district. and he and
the other officers of the association
may take just pride in the results
which they have accomplished.
At the formal meeting of the
directors late in the evening, Mr..
Harrison's 8 resignation as secretary
was accepted, and the proposition of
Ortonville as the next exposition city
was accepted. Pending the selection
of new secretary, NJ. B. Lord. the
new president, and E. J. Jones were
appointed committee to have charge
of pending affairs of the association
and the look up new secretary.

Japanese Bandaqes.

The triangle bandage first introduced
by the japanese during the Russo-Jap.
anese war is now being widely used in
the European war. 1t has been found
that bandages of this type are suitable
for binding up wounds in any part OF
the body and that one can be carried
by each soldier without Inconvenience
The Germans improved it by printing
on the bandage itself, in sterilized ink
various figures showing how it Is to be
applied. The British war office then
adopted the idea. and every British sol.
dier now carries one of the printed
bandages in special pocket Of his
tunic. This bandage is often applied
without assistance by the wounded SOL
dier.-Popular Mechanics.

JUST A LITTLE BOY
Greenwood IndeX.)

A human interest story that grips
the hardest heart comes from Chicago
as result of the Eastland disaster.
From all the wreckage of human li,--
es, from the enornity of the catas-
trophe there is nothing that seemed
to awaken more interest and pity
than the case of "No. 1896"
AS you know it was a gala occas-
sion, the day of big picnic and for
weeks ahead preparations were on
foot. Even grown ups were excited
and as for the children! My! what a
time they were going to have. Their.
would be ride on big boat and
ball games and swimming and a din
ner-a whole day given up to hav-
ing good time. The Eastland was
to sail at 7:30 and by then she was
full of gay crowd Of human beings,
eager, happy, and care free. Then it
happened
For five days "No. 396" lay in the
morgue unclaimed, unrecognized. And
he was such a little specimen of hu-
manity this boy of eight There was
no one in the crowd who had looked
forward to the picnic day with more
excitement or pleasure than this lit
tie mite. For days they came claim
ing their dead but all passed him by.
Mothers, their own hearts bursting,
stopped to shed tear for the mother
that did not come-who was probably
in the bottom of the river. "Well
keep him as long as we can" said
the coronor-but still no one came.
Last Thursday this order went out
to all the Boy Scouts of Chicago"
Comrade NO! 396' will be buried
with military honors.P The coffin
was massed with flowers the mayor
went to the funeral-it seemed that
all Chicago wanted to adopt the lit
tie unclaimed boy.
Surely the story of 1896" goes
TO prove that hearts can still be touch
ed and this isn't such a hard, hard
world we're living in after all.

CalOmel Dynamites
A Sluggish Liver
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose a Days
Work

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a SO cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

The curse was that he should have

MATCHED ON MOTHERS BACK
loads Of Dutch Guiana Have Some
what Peculiar Method of Propa-
eating the Species.

The toad of Surinarn, Dutch Guiana,
is very remarkable in one respect. 1t
first awakes to life while on its moth
ers back. When the eggs are laid
the male takes them in his broad
paws and contrives to place them on
the back of its mate, where they
adhere by means of glutinous secre-
ton, and by degrees become embedded
In series of curious cells formed
for them in the skin. When the process
is completed the cells are closed by
a kind of membrane, and the back
Of the female toad bears a strong re-
semblance to piece of dark honey
comb when the cells are filled and
closed. Here the eggs are Matched,
and in these strange receptacles the
young pass through their first stages
Of life, not emerging until they have
attained their limbs and can move
about on the ground Over 100 eggs
have been counted upon the back Of
single Surinam toad.

African "Fire Drill"

The average civilized man would be
hard put to 1t II he were compelled
to start fire without matches, finder
boxes or burning glass, but in various
parts of Africa the natives accomplish
this feat with astonishing ease and
quickness.
The materials employed are two
simple bits Of wood, one fiat, about
six inches long and not quite an inch
wide, with row Of grooves on one
side; the other about twelve inches
long and of the thickness and shape
of lead pencil.
The longer piece, fixed in one of
the grooves of the shorter piece, is
held tightly between the palms of the
hands and whirled rapidly round and
round. In very few seconds the
wood dust which is produced by the
friction falls through the grooves and
begins to smoke. This dust is then
carefully nursed into blaze.
