BE CAREFUL.

Reports from International Falls
indicate that Koochiching county is
in bad shape financially. AS long as
it's credit continues, it may be alright,
but when the paying-up times comes,
the county will be up against it. The
condition there is due to the piling
up of bonds for roads, for bitches and
for other improvements. AS result
of the disclosures there during the
past week trust companies are scrut-
inizing bonds for Northern Minnesota
closer than they have in the past.
We believe that other counties in
Northern Minnesota should be care
full Beltrami county, Clearwater
county and other counties should call
a halt to improvements that are alb
solutely not necessary at this time.
Enormous bonds are being piled up
for the county for ditches. In time
these counties will be getting in
bad shape financially if they con-
tinue bonding for bitches. It would
be bad for a county to get in such
shape that they could not borrow
money if they wanted to, in the fu-
ture. The only way to stop it is to
prevent the building of bitches where
they are not needed badly.
We urge county officials to have
more care in spending money for i'm
prOYements

The Straw Hat is glorified bunch
of hay. It is supposed to be worn
upon the head but it frequently
graces the ear, the eyebrow or the
back of the neck.
Fat men do not wear Straw Hats;
they just set them on their heads
when they're not tanning.
The Straw Hat is temperamental.
If it does not like a man, it will fly
off and the owner must put it on a
leash, which he fastens to his coat
with a black, oval button that looks
like a liver pill.
Next to a dog fight, an escaped

RICHEST. COUNTY.

A wheat market which made it un-
profitable for the early settlers to
haul their grain by team to the Mil
waukee market, followed by a plague
of chinch bugs, has made Green
county, Wisconsin, the richest county
in the United States, according to
population.
The total wealth of the county, &C
cording to the latest tax figures and
the statements of condition by the
banks of the county is $58,219,962.
70, or a per capita of $2,425.S3.
Practically every dollar of this wealth
has come from the cow and the dairy
ing industry. /
It was in the latter part of August,
1916, that little band of Swiss emil
grants, after many weary months of
travel, landed in the north part of
Green county In remembrance OF
the section from which they had
come they called the place New
Glarus. -.
The nearest market of the colon
lists was Milwaukee, more than 100
miles away. With the price of wheat
ranging about Is cents bushel it
would not pay the cost of hauling to
market by team. Then came plague
of chinch bugs.
Nearly hisheartened, and at their
wits end were the colonists when
they heard that a drover from the
east had brought into a neighboring
section several cows for sale to the
new settlers. Several head were prr-
chased at $12 each and in a short
time a cow was purchased for each
family in the colony. From this
sprung the dairying industry Of
Green county.
There are 1892 cows in Green
county, the product of which is keep

WOMAN WHO is HELD AS A WIT

COURT REQUIRED TO FURNISH

Mrs. Tidwell, the white woman who
is held as witness in the latest white
slavery case, and who had been re-
leased a few days ago on bond to
insure her appearance at the prehni-
nary hearing of w. G. Woods, charged
with white slavery, was yesterday
picked up again and required to fur
nish approved security 20 insure her
appearance at the converting of the
next federal grand jury. She was at
the county jail for about an hour, but
succeeded in having the required bond
signed, and she left the Jail building
shortly after 6 o'clock.
It was stated yesterday that At
well, her husband, who is in custody
at Gulfport, is held there for the pres
emit as witness in a certain case, and
it is believed that he will be brought
to Pensacola within the next few
days. Deputies from the United
States marshaIs Office here will not
be required TO make trip to Gulf
port for him, but he will be brought
here and delivered to the marshal at
Pensacola in due time. The local fed
eral court grand jury will probably
act on his case before the South Caro-
lima state authorities, who are trying
to get hold of Atwell, will be per-
mitted to have the prisoner.

PERIENCE ON TRIP.

Aboard the launch Idler, C. H. Mann
and w. C. billiard of the L. & N. and
Secretary Jas. G. Philips of the PEN
sacola Chamber of Commerce, late
Friday night returned TO the city
from Escambia trestle some four or
five hours behind schedule time. They
had arranged a little fishing party in
honor of G. B. Ashcroft, sof Chicago,
who is here attending the meetings of
the Southern Classification Commit
tee, and everything went well until
they started home. Before they had
passed the beacon near the trestle, the
bay was enveloped by fog which
cut off from sight everything boats
length away.
Captain Chas. Dillon was in charge
of the boat. Some few days ago some
party stole, among other things from
his boat, the only compass he had, and
he had not had chance to procure a
second one before 4eavfng with the
party.
The launch was slowed down, and
barely crept along for some distance,
because, in the absence of the COM
pass, steering was out of the ques-
ton, and when the fog did lift, about
the first object which they recognized
was Muscogee wharf, and thereafter
reaching the city was an easy matter.
But they arrived late.
The fish were plentiful, and they
succeeded in catching nearly one hum
dred beauties, which will give the
Chicago man something TO brag about
when he reaches his home city. The
local men also enjoyed the trip, but
regretted the fact that their home
coming was delayed on account of the
stranger aboard whom they were en-
tertaining.
