r. 2 HENRY

The discovery of Vitona places
America ahead of the world in anoth-
er branch. In fact it is one OF the
first real medical discoveries that can
be said to be typically American, and
it is at a par with other great Ameri-
can inventions, such as the telegraph,
telephone. areoplane and submarine.
Richard B. Henry, we'll known
young farmer who lives on R. F. D.
No. 8, Greenwood, says:
II suffered with rheumatism ever
since I was child. | also had stom-
ach trouble and indigestion so bad l
had to be very careful about what l
ate. l had severe pains in my stom-
ach after eating and vomiting spells
would set in. Gas would form on my
stomach and give me misery. l had
awful rheumatic pains in my joints
and in my feet and ankles, and got so
bad off l had to take to the bed and
stay there for weeks. l lost strength
and fell off until l only weighed 124
pounds. My heart would beat fast
and sometimes | feared / had heart
disease. | tried all kinds of medl-
cines. but nothing seemed to help me.
''Vitona got right after my troubles
and now | feel like different man.
The rheumatic pains have disappear
ed, my heart is regular and the pains
in my stomach are a thing of the
past. | have a good appetite and can
eat Just anything | want without any
bad after effects. | am not nervous
like / was; l sleep sound and can DO
as much hard wark on the farm as
ANYBODY. | now weigh 14O pounds,
which is a gain of sixteen pounds, and
am full of vitality. ] consider Vitona
to be the greatest discovery of the
age, and believe it will be Of untold
benefit to suffering humanity"
Mr.. L. S. Bean, the Vitona expert,
made the following statement:
Human enrgy depends largely
upon the stomach, kidneys and liver.
When these organs shirk their duty
ambition wanes. Vitona restores
tone to the system and is dlicate]y
adapted to all forms of stomach
troubles, nervousness, indigestion,
rheumatism. catarrh of the head and
stomach. 1t revitalizes those who are
weak and rundown. 1t is proving
blessing to hundreds of homes
Vitona is sold in Bamberg by
Macks Drug Store; in Denmark by
Peoples Pharmacy, and in Ehrhardt
by J. H. Observation-Disclosures.

LEAD WITH DESTROYERS.
American Navy Acquiring Great
Numbers of Latest Type.

Washington, Oct 3.-Such remark
able progress has been made in the
quick building of the immense iotilla
of American destroyers to cope with
the submarine campaign, that the
Navy Department now is assured of
much quicker delivery Of the ships
than was contemplated at the last
estimate, which in itself was far
ahead of the original time. Progress
on the ships now building and
arrangements for others to follow, it
was said today at the Navy Depart
ment, are such that the American
navy will lead the world with its
destroyers within eighteen months.
1t is now certain that all destroyers
now building will be delivered, ready
for duty in European waters, early
next year. Many of them had not
been expected until the winter of
1918. Approximately ten months has
been saved.
The full success of the project,
however, depends on the extraordi-
nary powers granted to the President
in the bill now pending. The admin
istration measure was altered in the
House. The Senate committee restor-
ed the provisions naval officers con-
slider vital to success and the navy
hopes the bill will become law in
substantially it's original form. 1t
is now in conference. Its progress
is being watched anxiously as ten
tative contracts are subject to change
if the bill is altered.
All new destroyers are of new
design worked out by the Navy De-
partment and showing radical
changes from any of these craft now
afoat. The great majority of them
will be thirty-five knots, vessels of
improved sea-keeping qualities, add
ing to their effectiveness as sub
marine hunters. The first of the
new type has been tried out with
results that amazes the officers who
made the trial trip.
The rate of warship production in
the United States has been increased
to such a point that greater amount
of fighting tonnage is being produced
in a given time than has ever been
achieved before by any power.

MAY BAR AMERICAN.
Charleston Paper Cited to Show Why
Mail Should Not be Denied.

Washington, Oct. 3.-John. P
Grace, editor of the Charleston IS.
c. American, appeared before the
Postoffice Department today to
answer charges of printing matter
in violation of the Espionage Act. He
was cited to show cause why his
publication should not be denied
second-class mail privileges. The
decision was deferred.
Grace's case was one of the many
the Postoffice Department has been
hearing since the Espionage Act was
passed. A number of newspapers and
magazines have been denied second
class privileges and in some instances
individual issues of the publications
have been denied the privilege of the
mails altogether.
Innumberable complaints from
throughout the country that have
reached the Postofice Department
charging publications with printing
reasonable and seditious matter have
led officials of the department to con-
clude that the public is the best CEN
sor. The public, officials said today,
usually discovers and sends in to the
department matter that might be
questioned even before the depart
ment's own staff discovers it.

The town of Hovland has no doubt
taken the lead in regard to keeping
the road open for mail service and
general travelling. Henry-not Ford,
but Westerlund-ha invented
snow-plow which has done the work
to perfection. When the whole plow
is used, the snow is thrown to both
sides, clearing the road about twenty
feet in width. The work of blowing
the road can also be done by using
but one half of the plow In that
way it cnabepu Hd.b uih shuewerfvel
way it can be pulled with fewer hor-
ses. In this last case the snow will
only be furrowed to the banks left
by the former plowing. The device
works splendidly and more of such
plows good be made good use of, es-
pecially when we are frequented by a
snow storm as of late.

STRAND AGAIN TAKES STAND
AGAINST PRESIDENT.
Opposes Resolution of House Con-
demning FiIibustering in United
States Senate.

Representative E. G. Strand of
Two Harbors was the only member
of the house who opposed a resolu-
tion condemning flibustering in. the
United States senate and urging the
Minnesota senators and representa-
tives to back up the president in
the present crisis.
The resolution was offered by Re-
preventative Henry H. Harrison of
Saltwater. Mr.. Strand gave notice
of debate, and Mr.. Carmichael moved
that the rules be suspended and the
resolution was adopted. This was
done, but not before Representative
Henry Holmes objected to it. Mr..
Holmes made it clear, however, that
he was not endorsing the flibuster-
ing methods pursued in the senate
and asserted that he had no SYM
pathy with them, but said that he
believed the house of representatives
should not be so precipitate.
The text of the resolution is as
follows:
''Whereas, certain senators of the
United States have, by conducting a
filibuster, prevented the enactment
OF an armed neutrality law, by
which it was sought to give the pre-
sident. power to protect the neutral
ity of the nation by armed force, and
said senators have by such filibuster
caused the opinion to prevail a.
broad that the country and the gov
ernment refuse to. support the ad-
ministration, and the prevalence Of
such opinion abroad may make the
task of the president of maintaining
peace more difficult; therefore.
"Be it resolved by the house of
representatives Of the state of Min
nesota, That the representatives and
senator's Of the state in congress of
the United States who urged hence
forth to taks such steps as will
prove to the nations of the world
that Americans are unanimous in
supporting the president in his ef-
forts to protect>the lives of citizens
on land and sea, and to maintain the
honor ond integrity Of the republic -

SUGAR CONSUMPTION INCREASE

The people of the United States
are apparently using more sugar
than ever before, for the increase in
consumption has been greater than
the increase in population. Accord
ing to figures in Bulletin 473, recent
ly prepared by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the total
consumption of sugar in this country
for the decade ending with the fiscal
year 1928 was 1919 per cent
greater than the consumption for
the preceding decade, while the pop
ulation for the same. period only
shows an increase Of q per cent.

J. S. Creech for trustees and G. F..
Lundquist for recorder, otherwise
same as Caucus nominees. The other

$425, 100000 LOSS IN
PINE POSSIBLE

Large forces are being mobilized to
fight pine blister rust which threat
ems a loss Of 100000 worth of
five-needle pines in the United
States
Those who are entering the fight
for the determination of the disease
are foresters, agriculturists, horti-
culturists, pathologists, entomolo-
gists and lumbermen.
Directing these forces is commit
tee made up of four members of each
state and province where fve-needle
pines grow. This committee is ask
ing Congress to appropriate $5OO,0O0
to aid in the fight, a sum which re-
presents one tenth of one per cent
of the present value Of the pines
which the committee is trying to
save. In addition, practically every
state where the disease now exists,
including Minnesota and Wisconsin,
is being asked to appropriate from
$4,000 to 100000 to help save their
large resources in pine.
1t is believed that it will be DOS
sible to hold the disease in check in
the eastern part of the United
States. TO do this through quar-
antine to prevent the shipment Of
white pine, currents or gooseberries,
which carry the Infection to the
states west of the Mississippi River,
must be established.
The divisions of plant pathology
and of entomology of the Minnesota
Experiment Station are cooperating
in the defense of Minnesota's pnejs.

SOME OBJECTIONS TO The
JONES BILLS EXPLAINED

Some opposition to the bills intro
duced by Senator Richard Jones Of
Duluth to reduce taxes on buildings
and personal property and increase
them on vacant and poorly used land
has arisen because it woud some
what reduce the total assessed val
uation, and make a rate increase ne
cessary.
In Duluth particularly the local
rate is fixed at 13 mills and the re-
venue would be considerably reduced.
Of course, the local rate would be
increased by amending the charter.
Or, the same result could be reach
ed by amending the Jones bills so as
to increase somewhat the valuation
placed on land, rather than to make
the entire change by reducing on
buildings and personal property.
If we should increase all land fifty
per cent, it would bring about the
same result as reducing the build
ings and personal property fifty per
cent. The financial result would be
the same. The only difference would
be in the effect on the minds of the
people.
We don't like to talk about in
creasing taxes. But we do like to
talk about reducing them.
The real kernel of the Jones bills
is to reduce taxes on all labor pro-
ducts and increase on all land values.
This can be done equally we'll by
either method.
If the interests of any city or viii
lage could better be served by rails
ing lands to fifty per cent, and leav-
ing labor products-buildings, etc.,
at twenty-five per cent, it would
make no difference.
Do it the easiest way.
