perform work that you cannot per-
form yourself.
The United States senators exercise
more influence over national affairs
than any other branch of the govern
ment except the executive.
The proper coure is to follow
the same method in selecting
men to perform public business as is
followed in selecting them to perform
private business.
Members of congress in slightly
lesser degree only, act in the same ca
pacity as senators. In making selec-
ton the same rule applies. 1t is un-
wise to select man to do your con-
gressional work that you would not
engage to do your office work.
The State of Minnesota is a great
business institution; the Governor is
the head manager of this business.
Yet his fitness, qualifications and
training for the place are seldom in
quired into; sympathy, sentiment and
favor cut more figure in his selection
than sense.
Public places were never intended
for kindergarten schools, friendships,
rewards, charity resorts, sentimental
vents, social promoters, but were de-
signed for service, yet as a rule all
these other things take precedence ov-
er fitness and service in the selection
of public servants.
There is no good reason why men
should reserve all their fool per-
formances for politics.

candidacy for reelection to the

mans election will place a man in
congress who will be at once familiar
with the workings and whose knowl-
edge gained by his previous term as
congressman will be valuable, as he
will not be obliged to form a new
acquaintance or spend valuable time
in becoming familiar with the meth
DDS employed. This fact, and Mr..
Buckman's thorough understanding of
conditions, was undoubtedly strong
factor in the cordial reception that his
candidacy received when the an
nouncement was made that he would
come before. the people of his district
for their endorsement. Everywhere
throughout the Sixth district the
sentiment is strongly in his favor
and his nomination, which is equiva-

The people Of the Sixth district
have an opportunity to elect man to
Congress whose knowledge of the af-
fairs in this dictrict will make him a
valuable member, not only to the dis
trict, but to the state and especially
the northern part of Minnesota, and in
this respect it may be we'll to add that
c. B. Buckman has been identified
with the upbuilding Of this section of
the state since the early pioneer days.
He has represented his district in
both branches Of the legislature and

EASY OF SOLUTION

1t has been often stated that the
problem Of selecting candidates for
the various national state and local
offices is one of difficult solution for
the voter, but it would not be so if it
were approached and viewed from the
right angle.
Most of US are citizens in the plural
when we ought to be citizens in the
singular. We think of "our" country,
"our" state and "our" town when we
ought to think of it as "my" country,
ssmy" state and "my" town. Under
this plurality we divide responsibility.
We let the other fellow do the work
and assume the burden, wash our
hands and let George do it.
Public officials are, or at least they
should be, servants of the people.
The true theory of leadership was
set forth by the worlds greatest
Teacher, when he stated, "And whose
ever of you will be chiefest of all,
shall be servant of ALL"
The time is at hand when the nation
is beset with the most complicated
conditions, critical situations and be-
wildering propositions.
1t is the individual duty of each in
dividual voter to guide the country
out of this labyrinth of perplexing
criticality because it is his country
and it is the heaven ordained duty for
man to care for his own.
1t is a mental, physical and political
impossibility for each individual to
give all his individual time, thought
and effort to governmental matters.
When a man has work of his own
to do that he cannot perform he en-
.ploys some one else to do it for him
and delegates to the employee his per-
forming functions, and holds him ac-
countable for performance, and he
employs the best performer attain
able; this is the common sense law of
business.
Precisely the same rule should ap-
ply in your selection Of employees to

Rest Room Report.

Madame President and members of
the Gradatim Club: Your committee
appointed to look after the interests
of the Rest Room would respectfully
report as follows:
The matron for the Rest Room has
been changed during the past year.
Mrs. Pangburn resigned in July and
was succeeded by Mrs. Martha Bean.
The Rest Room seems to have be-
come widely known as letters of in

Council and Rest Room committee.
The chairman has recently answered
letters from Flanders, S. D., Crook

The attendance for the past year
has been 9,083. During County Fair
days, the attendance was exceptional
ly large. On one of these days 1873
women and children enjoyed the COM
fort of the room. September had the
largest attendance of any month, dur
ing the year, 1,211 having registered.
In November the City Council pur-
chased hard coal heater and also
paid for one ton of coal. The heater
has proven great success, keeping
the rooms comfortable even during
the extremely cold weather. A new
rocker was recently purchased for the
use Of the room.
The people who use the room GER
tainly appreciate it's comfort.
The City Council and Gradatim
Club may feel we'll repaid for time
and money expended.

Club for the fiscal year ending We'd
nesday of last week:
Secretary's Report, I9Es-16.
The Gradatim Club at the close of
it's twenty-first year numbers twenty
six active workers.
For the first time in it's history Ora
datim was called upon this year to
give up beloved president. The last
of November Mrs. Barto passed on to
that other life, to which all our foot
steps are fastening, but left US a rec
ord of good deeds, and her memory
will be precious legacy while life
shall last. We think of death in con-
nection with such life as hers, as a
door through which she has stepped
into the beautiful garden just little
way before us-the open way to a yet
more beautiful life.
Passing out of the shadow,
Into eternal day;
Why do we call it dying,
This sweet going away"
The work of the club has been car
ried on according to program under
the efficient leadership Of the Vice
President, Mrs. Dock. Fifteen meet
ings have been held, besides the "At
Home" and annual business meeting
with an average attendance of four
teen.
At the beginning of the year we
had the pleasure of welcoming six
new members, all of whom have prov
en- valuable helpers in making the
program more pleasant, interesting,
and profitable.
The work for the past year has been
the "Chautauqua Study Course" The
programs, prepared by a committee
during the summer vacation, have
been full, very interesting and in
structive.
Mrs. E. J. Lewis and Mrs. T. Dock
represented the club at the district
meeting held in Little Falls May 10th
and 11th.

PREPAREDNESS

The all-absorbing subject of discus
sion at the present time is prepared
ness. One would almost conclude that
the only theme worthy of the consid-
Grafton of statesmen, lawmakers ano
thoughtful men is the devising OF
some means or method whereby one
nation might obliterate another from
the map of the world, wipe it's COM
merce from the ocean and remove its
inhabitants from the land Of the liv-
ing. The world is war mad, blood
sickness affects the sons of men, and
murder-mania-na universal
murder-mania runs riot everywhere.
War preparedness has been the sole
idea of the European morarchial gov
ernments for generations. Getting
ready to fight has been their one bus
mess to which every other business
has been subordinated. Art, science,
invention, everything has been prosti-
tuted into planning methods of de-
struction instead of the prolongatiOn
of human life, the betterment of hu-
man conditions and the creation of
of such course was war, barbaric,
inhuman, indescribably cruel war.
War that has made the savagery of
all former wars seem as mild as
church sociables and has plunged the
world in to the holocaust of destruc-
tion.
The logical result of war prepared
ness is war. The creation of blood
thirst can only be satisfied by blood
and a universal murder spirit, foster
ed and encouraged, must result in uni
versal murder.
If one-tenth of the European pre-
paredness for war had been put forth
in preparedness for peace, war would
have been impossible and would never
have occurred.
Under the existing conditions it is
the duty of United States to prepare
for war, or rather for protection and
defense, but it has more sacred and
binding duty and that is to prepare
for peace. Let the dominant note of
our governmental policy be peace and
not war, construction and not destruc-
tion, international amity and not in
ternational hate, building homes and
not digging graves.
Let us make ability our standard in
public officials and not pugnacity. Let
US choose men for public place who
will accentuate the theory that pre-
paredness for peace is much higher
form of craftsmanship than prepared
ness for war. We believe that AL
mighty God has ordained the United
States of America, nation that po-
sesses more war resources than all the
other nations of the world combined.
to demonstrate to every nation, kim
dred and tribe that the great function
of great nation is to foster perpet-
ual, permanent peace and not foster,
promote and perpetuate never-ending
war and strife, and let us exercise
great care in selecting executive and
representative officials who will make
this policy the paramount policy of
the nation.

The Gradatim Club has always felt
that community pride is valuable
asset to our city. The attractiveness
of our city expressed in it's churches
and public buildings, parks and streets
we'll laid and well kept home grounds
we'll planted, and open spaces neatly
kept have been the greatest stimu-
lates to Sauk Centres growth.
We feel that any city gets pop
ulation it bids for. Outside public
opinion of city has much to do with
it's welfare. Go anywhere in this
part of the state and you will hear
good words Of Sauk Centre.
Let us continue to aim for the high
est standards in community living.
At the business meeting of the Gra-
datim Club held on Wednesday after
noon of this week, the following Of
ficers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, Mrs. T. Dock; first
vice-president, Miss Esther Sprague;
second vice-president, Mrs. George

There Was Nothing So Good for
Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old fashioned mustard plaster
burned and blistered while it acted. You
can now get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the plas-
ter and without the blister.
MUSTEROLE does it, It is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil Of mus
tard. 1t is scientifically prepared, so
that it works wonders, and yet does not
blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage MUSTEROLE in with
the finger-tips gently. See how quickly
it brings relief-how speedily the pain
disappears.
And there is nothing like MUSTER
OLE for Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Tom
silitis, Group, Stiff Neck, Asthma, Neu-
ralgia, Headache, Congestion, Pleurisy,
Rheumatism, Lunbago, Pains and Aches
of Back or Joints. Sprains, Sore Mus

Colds of the Chest (it often prevents
Pneumonia).
