WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS.
Patented Prceesc Is RESPONSIBLE for
Its International Popularity.

Smokers so much appreciate the
favor and cColness and aroma OF
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette 10
bacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so differ
snt from all others.
The answer to this question is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you will
read: Process Patented July Goth,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and
fortune in money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all that
was expended upon it, because it has
set free men who believed they never
could enjoy pipe or makin's cigar
cite.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every men to smoke a pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes And. no matter
how tender the tongue. Prince Albert
cannot bite or Garch. That is cut out
by the patented process. leaving for
the smoker only the joys of the fra
grant tobacco.
IT is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" just about six years ago, it
has made three men smoke pipes
where one smoked a pipe before!

Consolidation Was the Subject
Discussed At st. Clair

That the betterment of the rural
schools is problem in which people
are becoming intensely interested,
and that the movement toward con-
solidation is gaining favor, was
proven beyond the question of a
doubt last Saturday at st. Clair. On
account of the late arrival of the
train on which c. W. Knox, superin-
tendent of the school at Cleveland,
reached Mankato, the meeting which
had been called for two o'clock, was
delayed until 4:30. There was not a
single one of those who gathered,
however, who expressed a desire to
go home, but patiently waited until

CITY
COUNCIL
Meeting

Although developing none OF
the strenuous features expected
by the large crowd gathered in
the council chambers, the second
meeting OF the sixteenth common
council last night was decidedly
interesting and gave the specta-
tors much amusement. All were
present when the meeting was
called to order by Mayor Blake.
\ slight diversion was created
by the city clerk during the roll
call through that official yielding
TO the long standing habit of call
ing the name of Mayor Diamond
at the conclusion OF the roster,
instead of that of the present pre-
siding officer.
The minutes of the preceding
meeting were read and approved
after 4 minor correction was not
cd. The roll call concluded, May
or Blake announced that he would
discharge the standing commit
tees appointed at the last meeting
and would later appoint new
COMMITTEES. His remarks were
prefaccd with the statement that
he thought such action was for
the best interests Of the city. The
clerk read communication from
the Rice benefit association ask
ing the city for aid but the re-
quest was later refused on the
ground that the council had no
authority to MAKE donations.
Claims and accounts against
city amounting to S35.3s were
read and referred to the finance
committee.
Councilman Burgh presented a
resolution directing the city clerk
to notify. A. J. Bachelor, the
former city treasurer, to turn over
to City Treasurer Phil Murphy all
moneys, documents, ETC., in his
possession belonging to the city.
The motion was seconded by
Councilman Ross and passed
without dissent, Burgh also in
troduced a resolution authorizing
the mayor to telegraph to Dele
gate Wickersham to request con-
gress for authority to bond the
city in the sum of fifty thousand
dollars for the establishment of
the much discussed municipal
light and pumping plant. Meal
lister moved that the resolution
be adopted He was seconded
by Ross. Mayor Blake remarked
that he would like to hear from
Mr.. Polet of the Chamber of
Commerce, which organization
was also interested in the pro-
lect.

The sudden thaw following the

in the trails becoming very soft
and travel is reported slow and,
in some places, rather difficult.
Although the wind blew quite
heavily during the storm the ice
apparently did not bulge an inch
and no open water was visible.
Predictions are now being made
that there will be ice in the road
stead until the last of June. Some
are even willing to hazard a guess
that there will be bergs in the
