OUR FAMOUS ONES

It has been suggested that
Minnesota history ought to be
represented on state capitol
walls by something besides civil
war paintings. There is plenty
of room on the walls of capitol
offices for mural decorations that
would give posterity some idea
of the Minnesota of today. Here
are some suggested subjects to
illustrate the march of political
events in the old state:
Dan LAWYER kneeling in allie
glance to Fred Lynch.
Moses E. Clapp passing up
his plate for a second helping OF
fatted calf.
"Zeke" Austin harmonizing
the democratic party.
Lyndon A. Smith worrying
about his reelection.
"Sam" Works recanting pro-
! hibition heresy.
| Adolph Eberhart in his rum
ming togs.
John Lind breaking Cesar's
record in refusing the crown:
! Knute Nelson carrying Min
nesota on his shoulders at
Washington.
Ole Sageng blowing.
George Sullivan denying
Charlie" Davis.
"Shy" Caswell wrestling the
scepter from Ed. Smith.
julius Schmahl signing for
more worlds to conquer.
The Stevenson brothers saw
ing the country.
C. A. Quist melting the demo
cratic slaves to revolt.
Fred Lynch distributing pie
to the faithful.
Frank Day, the lone Sentinel
) of Fairmont.
Many such pictures to illumi.
nate the pages of state history
could be suggested. The His
torical society museum, too
ought to be enriched. There is
room there for J. Adam Bede'S
birch bark pants, the flag car
RED in the Van SAINT campaigns
and the old file used by San
: Iverson in filing for Office
Charley Cheney.

WHAT HE NEEDS

The Wheelock Weekly hands
out the following red hot shot:
Johnson, the Fergus Fails drug
gist who has been elected to the
legislature three times on the
dry ticket and who aspires again
and has announced that he will
be a candidate for speaker OF
the house paid a fine of SIS the
other day for blind plugging. We
understand that this Mr.. john
sons fourth offense, and if SO
we suggest that he needs about
six months in the county jail
instead of a fourth nomination
to the legislature. We have a
certain amount of sympathy for
the professedl y"wet' man who
violates the liquor laws, but in
our estimation a man as hypo-
critical as johnson is said to be,
should be sent up for life on
general principals. He is not
entitled to the respect of either
the "wet' or dry Cotton
wood Current.

The FLAVOR OF
ffSPEAR HEAD
IS UNIQUE
a Chew That Has Been Famous for
a Third Of a Century
HAS The RICH RED Burnley TASTE

Chewing is the only way to get the
rich taste of the tobacco leaf. And
the only form of tobacco i'll which you
get the leaf as Nature made it is the
plug form.
A chew of Spear Head plug tobacco
has a wonderful flavor such as you
never did and never will taste in any
other tobacco.
That Spear Head flavor is unique,
mellow, fruity, everlastingly delicious
and satisfying.
Spear Head has been famous for a
third of a century as the richest, tasti-
est of chews.
It's made of sun-ripened red Bur-
ley. And it's produced by the most
modern methods, which develop the
luscious flavor of the leaf to the SUI
preme degree.
1t is safeguarded at every step in its
making. The factory is clean and SAN
itary-the processes are pure-food pro-
Cesses.
When the choice red Burley has been
pressed into mellow, sweet Spear Head
plugs you have a chew that simply can't
be equalled.
Spear Head is the high-quality chew
of the world.
Try Spear Head-you'1l never again
be satisfied with any other chew. In

THE POOR KIDS!

To have a circus come to
town, unload twelve cars of wa

tents, poles and other circus
paraphenalia and proceed to the
circus grounds only to find the
wind blowing so strong that the
tents could not be put up, well,
if that wouldn't be disSap-

would like to know what you
would spring on them, but that
is just was happened in Morgan

THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA

The leaders of the Republican
party are confronted by a real
dilemma. In order to have a
good chance of winning at the
election next fall, they need not
only to reunite their own party;
they need to unite it on a plat
form and in favor of a candl-
date presenting a sharp contrast
to the platform and the candi-
date of the Democratic party.
Their opponents have possession
of the government. Republican
leaders have hoped and ex-
pected to win by default mere
ly as result of the unpopular
ity of the administration or of
division within the Democratic
party; but of late the probabil-
ity of so winning has become
increasingly remote. The Demo
Gratis are becoming more popu-
lar and more united.
The Republicans need an ag-
gressive candidate and a sharp
issue, and at present they see
no way of getting what they
need without paying a danger
ously high price for it. The
candidate and the issue which
will contrast them most sharp
lily with the Democrats is the
candidate and the issue which

is one hundred dollars. The aver
cost of gravel roads is one thou
sand one hundred dollars a mile.
The average cost of Macadam
roads is fifteen thousand dollars
a mile and the average cost OF
a. mile of concrete road is thir-
ty thousand dollars.
The benefits of good roads are
from the economical side that
farmers can haul their produce
to town much cheaper, easier
and more proftably than when
the roads are bad and from the
social side that it brings COM
munities closer together.

may divide them most complete
ly one from another. They are
being driven to choose between
an aggressive leader whose per-
sonal platform and personality
will ALLEVIATE many Republicans
or some less aggressive leader
who will keep the party togeth-
err, but who may not be able to
put sufficient vigor into his cam
paign to defeat such a we'll in

GOOD ROADS
Essay Written by Leila Blanch.
ard of District 55 SwedeS
Forest

The best roads are located |
where the most people live. They
Will be found leading to towns.
When constructing a road the
constructors should be careful
to put it where it will be salts
factory for all time.
Roads should have proper
grading, good drainage and a
high crown. They should be
kept in good shape The differ
ent kinds of roads are earth
roads, gravel roads and Maca-
dam roads. The earth roads are
the common graded up reads.
They have no material put onto
them. The graveled roads have
gravel on them. When rain falls
en- the gravel roads they do not
become muddy as do the earth
reads. 81 -
When a road is about to be
built the roadway must be
cleared. All rocks, stumps and
ether obstacles must be re-
moved. The foundation of the
read must be firm and well
drained. A good rounding crown
en- the surface is required. The
crown should be in the middle
CT the road. Material which is
i1npervious is more suitable
than that in which the water
will sink.
To maintain earth roads the
crown must be kept high So as
to affect proper drainage. The
methods for keeping the crown
high are by keeping the grade
and by the use of the road drag.
The road drag is hauled over
the roads when they are rough,
smoothing them down. Clearing
the roadway for a gravel road
is carried on in the same way
as for an earth road. The grade
is established and gravel is put
onto it. The foundation should
be firm and we'll drained. The
surface of the foundation should
be compact. A good crown is
necessary for proper drainage
The trenches along the roads
are to drain the roads. The depth
Of the trenches vary according
to the slope of the road.
The surface material of grave
reads is applied by the use Of
the common wagons, from which
the gravel is dumped out an6
spread over the road. On state
roads the gravel is sometimes
packed with steam rollers. II
maintain gravel roads in goot
condition they must be dragged
Gravel roads are subject to hav
ing holes Or waves in them
These must be filled up as sool
as they appear.
The foundation of the Maca
dam roads must be firm AM
we'll drained. The construction
of the Macadam roads consist
Of the foundation covered wit
crushed stone. Macadam read
must be packed before they ca
be travelled. The surface of tn
concrete roads is concrete. TIL
concrete is put on four Or fiv
inches deep. This must be hare
ened before the roads can b
used.
The initial cost of the Macs
dam and concrete roads is great
er than that Of the gravel an
earth roads. The up-keep
less on account of more perms

STODDARD TO SHIP
 SOME CONCENTRATES

Celora NJ. Stoddard, manager of the Stoddard Milling Co, says that experi- mental test runs of the new plant have given way to permanent operations, and the first product of q carload of exceptionally high grade concentrates would be shipped from the works on next Monday to Humboldt.
 The initial runs are being made from Binghamton ores. the product from which mine he states, responds to the treatment given by flotation, without resorting to the tables in position
 This makes an admirable process" he further said, and the recovery is surprising in the percentage shown"
 The plant is handing at the present time 125 tons per day, and this out put will be enlarged in a short time to 150 tons. With the plant now mak- ing a heavy recovery, the Copper Queen Gold company is preparing to begin mine work in short time. It will also use the Notation mill under a joint agreement by which the works were built. Flotation in this instance has solved a vital problem for the flu ture of both mines, MT. Stoddard states, and the success of both prop critics is assured.
