MCCALL BOOM STARTS

Petitions in His Favor at Minneapolis
and Name Likely to Go on
Primary.

Minneapolis, Feb Petitions are in
circulation here in favor of Governor
Mccall of Massachusetts for president,
and if the requisite number of signers
is secured his name will be filed with
the secretary OF state and 60 on the
presidential primary ballot.
1t will not be difficult to get the
names necessary within the next four
days, when the time for filing names
of candidates for president expires. Min
nesota's primary law makes it neces-
sary for any candidate for delegate to
a national convention to declare himself
supporter of some presidential candidate
whose name has been regularly filed in
this state. Cummins has filed, so has
Henry d. Estabrook of New York. But
neither is favored by any considerable
number OF Minnesotans.
Mccall is not very well known through
out the state, but 80 far as he is known
is more favorably regarded than either
Cummins or Estabrook, and many Re

How 10 Have the Best Cough
Remedy and Save ~ by
Making IL at Home

Cough medicines, as rule contain a

as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 2ia ounces

bottle and fill the bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives you, at cost of only
"a cents, full pint OF really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for

directions with Pinex. 1t keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
1t takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly IL
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and soothes the intlamed mem
branes in the case of painful cough.
1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is n highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
combined with guaiacol, and has been
used for generations to heal inaamed
of the throat and chest.

Dreams.

One reads some so very silly articles
np0n the subject of recurrence OF
dreams that it is necessary to repeat
that our dreams are nothing more than
a continuation OF the state previous to
sleep when we lie with no bodily or
mental occupation beyond following
out whatever train of thought happens
to have been suggested.
Two common dream experiences fire.
quently recurring are those of the sen
sation of flying and of the uneasy i'm
preston of being about in public in in.
sufficient attire The first is caused
by the physical fact that we are at the
moment without noticeable pressure
actually suspended in space; the sec
ond by the equally physical fact that
few people in these days go to bed in
their boots.
1t is beyond question that dreams are
started or suggested not only by these
hints, but by external events
usually noise.-London Observer.

The Nice of Austria.

The Nice of Austria" is the name
by which Gorilla, or Goritz, is known
among its habitues. owing to its mild
climate. Curiously enough, the city
furnishes link with the French Bour-
bons, for in franciscan convent there
lie the remains OF Charles Y. of
France, the last of the Bourbons; of
the Duke of Angouleme. his son, and
OF the Due de Chambord. who died as
recently as 1883. Gorilla, under Aus
TRAN rule, was the capital of the crown
land OF Corr Gradisca and first appears
in history toward the close of the
tenth century, when it was bestowed
on the church. 1t is still the seat Of an
archbishop, and its special industry,
significantly, perhaps. has long been
the printing of Hebrew books for the
east.-London Spectator.

a flood OF complaints from all over the
country concerning the exorbitant prices
Of gasoline, Representative Dowell Of
Iowa yesterday introduced resolution
calling for sweeping investigation into
the gasoline and oil situation by spe-

The resolution covers wide range
and is directed to an inquiry into all the
essential facts in gasoline and crude oil
productions, marketing and the like.
A feature of the resolution is provision
for an investigation whether the So
called dissolution of Standard Oil has
really dissolved the alleged monopoly or
the subsidiaries formerly held together
by the STANDARD Oil company and now
said to be united by stock ownership
are in control of the oil and gasoline
business and are manipulating prices.

national headquarters here the following
proclamation to the order of Sons OF
| Veterans, U. S. A., for the observance of
Union Defenders day, Feb. IL. the an
niversary of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin:
The year 1909 was specifically marked
by its production of great men. Ii was
during that year that William Il. Glad
stone, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Charles
Darwin, AEendelssohn, and Abraham Lin
coin first saw the light of day. In the
estimation of the world, and in the light
of history, Abraham Lincoln occupies a
pre-eminent position when compared
with the great men not only of his time,
but of all time
Lincoln led the Union army to a glo-
rious aud triumphant victory. The road
was long, the struggle was direful and
the sacrifice was great, but the results
fully compensated for the Unreasonable
cost.
The order of Sons of Veterans, U. S,
A., is pledged "To inculcate patriotism,
teach truthful history, spread and sus-
tain the doctrine OF equal rights, uniyer-
sal liberty and justice TO all, to honor
the memories of the heroic dead through
historical exercises and the proper OBJ
servance of Memorial day and Union De
tenders day.
Feb. IL, the anniversary of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln, has been officially
designated by our order as Union De
tenders day. Let us honor ourselves by
setting aside this day to pay tribute to
the memory of our patron saint, and not
only to him, but also to the brave men
who followed him, and through whose
services and sacrifices there has been be-
lueathed to us our eligibility to meber-
ship in this splendid patriotic organiza-
ton.
As our fathers rallied to the call to
luty in lS6l-lS65, let us now show to |
The world that we are true sons OF loyal |
,ires. Let us show our willingness to
rive our full measure of devotion to the |
'ause of patriotism, aud thus prove our !
light to the possession of the priceless |
leritage which we so proudly claim. /
Fraternally yours,

more severe than Of any other country.
One of these tests for admission to

typical example of the thoroughness
with which the candidates faculties
are tested. In this test the ticking OF
watch must be heard at forty inches
In quiet surrounding, and this ticking
must be heard at that distance by each
ear separately. In addition to this. the
candidate will be rejected II there is
the slightest suggestion of any dis
eased condition about any portion OF
the ear.
In all the foreign nayies, as well as
I'm our own, the severest tests of hear.
ing are imposed upon the men who are
to undertake submarine service. In
this service even an officer win not be
accepted IL the surgeon Is able to find
any evidence that he has ever been af
iicted with ear trouble at any time.
Thus a slight Inflammation of the ear
which occurred In childhood may dis.

Leuend Of KIM .Marko.

King Mako. who ranks as the Ser
Wan King Arthur, was the son of
King yukashin, whom he denounced
for usurping the throne, which rightly
belonged to Urosh. son of Dushan.
Vukashin cursed him and prayed that
be might have neither tomb nor pos
terity and be doomed to serve "the
car of the Turks" But Urosh blessed
him and prayed that he might know
no equal in wisdom or prowess and be
remembered as long as the earth en-
dured.
Thus they spake and thus it came
to pass" says an old Servian ballad.
Mako fought for the sultan, but ''the
sultan feared him, for his wrath was
terrible" and. though he knew no
sepulture, he lived, say the legends,
for 300 years. He still lives In the
hearts Of patriotic Servians, many of
whom believe that one day he will
awake and come forth to restore the
glories of the former empire. Pail

Over Twenty Centuries Ago.
A small stone statue found near
Vera Cruz, Mexico, which has been in
the possession of the United States
National museum since 1903, has been
identified as the oldest known dated
antiquity In America. Its ancient
Magyar glyphic inscriptions show that
it was made 100 years before Christ,
which Is the oldest date authenticated
In the new world.
This unique image was found in 1902
near the gulf of Mexico. 100 miles
southeast Of Vera Cruz. and came to
the museum through r. e. Ulbricht,
the next year. 1t is of hard grayish
green stone. carved into rounded
conical form, six and one-half inches
high and three and three-fourths inches
In diameter.
The upper part represents human
head with well defined features. The
lower part of the face is covered with
a mask, resembling the bill of a duck,
carved in relief and extending down
over the chest like beard. The bird
like form is further emphasized by
the wings, covering the sides Of the
figure. Beneath the wings the outlines
of birds feet and legs are engraved.
