A GLORIOUS END.

"HE soldier tells Of that fierce
charge
In which his hero brother
u died;
The father stands with lifted
head
AS if he saw the splendid ride;
The sister hears with face grown
And eyes that brim with tears OF
pride;
The mother does not heed the tale
She only knows that he has died
She makes no moan, she sheds no
tears,
She feels no thrill of pride or JOY.
For, looking back across the years,
She sees a little, little boy;
She hears the lisping baby speech
That begs for some beloved toy;
She feels the clasp Of little arms
That tells a love without alloy
Their words are but an idle tale
OF war and battle, sword and gun;
She has not heard that he was
brave,
She does not care what he has
done;
She only turns her head aside,
She has no thought for glory won,
She only knows that he has died
Her son-her son-her tlrstborn
son

The Cet-to-gethsr Spirit

Every town that is town has the
get-to-gether spirit. Merchant ana
farmer and the people work together
for better town, better living con-
ditions and better amusements.
Here are some rules for the get to-
gethers:
The town and the farming COM
munity cannot succeed without CO.
operation and mutual assistance.
Farmers should not forget their
own interests in relation to the rail-
roads and better railroad facilities.
Help the people of adjacent towns
to make the towns alive. Don, t
have the nearest town to you dead
one.
Rural prosperity depends upon
the ease with which shipments are
made. Railroads don't like the dead
towns. Don't back legislation that
will kill your town.
Farmers should buy from home
dealers. Keep your money in the
community where it adds TO the
commercial life of everyone in the
town.
Every dollar the farmer puts into
his adjacent town helps him; it adds
to the value of his own holdings.
The town merchant should make
the farmer feel welcome. Keep the
things he wants to buy and sell them
at a price which he is willing to pay.
Make your town so live that peo-
pie will want to come there to spend
the weekend. People avoid the
dead towns.
Let the farmer know that you are
trying to help him as well as to help
yourself.
The town merchant should adver-
tise so that the farmer may know
where he can buy his goods and
come for them.
The farmer says to the local mer-
chant "show me-. Show him by
Advertising what you have to sell.
Get-to-gether.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP.R00T

Thousands upon thousands of Wo-
men have kidney and bladder trouble
and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder
disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness and may be de-
spOndent and irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician s
prescription, obtained at any drug
store, restores health to the kidneys
and is just the remedy needed to
overcome such conditions.
Get fifty cent or one dollar bot
tie immediately from any drug store
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
Y, for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention the Bemidji

SHSs PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN
- ADVERTISING BY THE
THE UNIVERSITY.

George Edgar Vincent has resigned
as president of the state university.
He has resigned to become connected
with the Rockefeller foundation.
The Rockefeller foundation is the
giant of all the organized charities
of the world. Its source is the
Standard Oil company.
We wonder why DR.. Vincent re-
signed. He made no complaint, his
expressions are felicitous but it be-
hooves us to ponder the matter a bit
DR.. Vincent has been called the
best university president in the
United States.
Why did he resign?
Was he allowed the due exercise
Of his faculties and ambitions as an
educator in Minnesota? We have
seen how the university suffered at
the last legislature when appropria-
lions for the university were slashed
to the bone.
The people of Minnesota have
taken great pride in their univer-
sity. 1t has attracted more stu
dents than any other institution of
learning in the country with two or
three exceptions. There must be a
reason for it, There must be an ex-
traordinary demand on the part of
the public for the facilities which it
provides and yet the cost per capita
of school attendance is less in the
University of Minnesota than the av-
erage in state universities.
The management of the affairs of
the University of Minnesota is large
ly in the hands Of body of intelli-
gent, capable, public spirited men
who serve without pay for the pur-
pose of promoting the interests of
the university and the cause of
higher education in the state.
Yet at the last session of the leg
islature an item in the appropria-
lions set apart for the salaries of the
teaching staff was slashed.
Salaries at the University of Min
nesota are low, and the continued
slashing of salaries is costing the
school the services of many of her
best men. Competition in this re-
spect is very keen. The big univer-
sites of the country are continually
looking for men of large caliber and
high attachments.
They have already taken many of
the best men in the service of the
state and we believe that the legis-
lature is to a certain extent respon-
sible for the loss of these men.
1t is we'll understood that no pro-
fession is so poorly paid as that Of
the teacher, and if Minnesota is to
be classed among those who appre-
ciate least the value of superior tai
ents in this direction, we may have
to be content with the services of
men who are not in demand else
where
The resignation of President Vim
cent is a severe blow to the state
Why did he resign?

Boosts Free Sewing in
Letter to Given

Mrs. Carver of Northome was a.
caller at our store Saturday and left
an order with us for Free Sewing
Machine, which we sent to her by ex-
press Sunday. We have the very
latest thing in the way of cabinet
machine on our floor and would be
pleased to have you call in and have
us explain the advantages of this
Free machine.
We have just received a letter from
Mrs. B. Pearson of Becida, and she
has the following to say in regard
to her machine: 1.-THE Free sewing
machine which I bought from you
sure is a dandy. I was in town the
other day and intended to tell you
about it, but you were not in so I
am sending you this letter." This
is the kind of recommends we are
receiving from all of the purchasers;
of Free machines.

in lower prices and improved goods
and the enterprise is yet in it's swad-
ding clothes.
Irvine and machinery, what is to pre-
vent it from manufacturing paper?
''This paper puts the above ques-
tion to the board of control, and with
one accord the answer came:
Nothing whatever except the
authority from the legislature and
the governor.
"The proposition is entirely prac-
ticable and simple.
Minnesota owns, of her own right,
millions of acres of virgin forests
which contain the raw material for
all the paper used in Minnesota. In
these forests are embarrassed water
powers, enough TO move the machin-
cry of the largest plant in the state.
I'm the state refOrmatOry are hun
.dreds of men who could be utilized
to a tremendous advantage in lifting
a burden from the newspaper frater-
nifty of Minnesota and at the same
time furnish them healthful and
profitable employment.
Inc proposition Is one CnaC
should appeal not only to every men,
Der of the legislature and the gov
ernor but to every taxpayer in Min
nesota, because the Infamous extor-
tions of the paper trust, directly or
indirectly, affect every one in the
state.
"Governor Burnquist will be asked
to deal with this question in his mes
sage to the legislature and this pa
per asks Of its contemporaries the
consideration to which it's merits en-
title it,"

THE PAPER TRUST.

Frank Day of the Fairmont Daily
Sentinel has advanced an excellent
idea for combating the paper trust.
He proposes to have the state manu-
facture paper An editorial in which
he explains his plan follows:
"Ignatius Donnelly - bless his
precious memory the old
Farmers Alliance conceived and car
ried out an enterprise to free the
farmers from the exactions of the
Irvine trust and at the same time pro-
vide profitable employment for the
inmates of the state prison. When it
was first proposed to establish in the
penitentiary factory for the manu-
facture of binding twine all the cor
poration hirelings in the country
reared upon their hind legs and
shouted at the top of their voices,
unconstitutional dangerous prece-
dent socialism,
1.-THE farmer members of the leg
iSlature and some others whom mod
esty forbids mentioning, set their
teeth together and went ahead We
all know the result. The thing has
proved success beyond the dreams
of men who were dubbed 'wild-eyed
theorists and has meant saving
of millions of dollars to the husband
men of Minnesota and adjoining
states.
Encouraged by the success of the
twine industry, the state thought its
able and corruptible board of control
has undertaken the manufacture of
certain farm machinery, and is NOV
ing ahead smoothly, conservatively
and >profitably, to the CONSERVATION
of one of the most Infamous COM
bines that afflicts the country. The
farmers, the bone and sinew of the
land are already receiving benefits
