LIQUID FIRE as It Is sQuirted from the
nozzle OF a pipe, the Deutschland as
Ehe nosed her way into a German
port. the Red Cross at work on Ger
man soil, Franz Joseph and the for
mer Gar OF Russia, smoke bombs for
shielding air flights, trench fighting
these were a few of the things pic
tured in the war movies shown at the
University Club last night
The films were taken on German
soil and passed into Switzerland Just
few days before the declaration OF
war on America by Germany.
At the suggestion OF the War De-
partment, the titles OF the different
scenes were deleted. This, however
did not make the pictures less clear
to the audience, for the scenes ex-
planned themselves.
The room in which the show was
given was filled to capacity.

Striking Union Men
Enlist Women's Aid

The Retail Clerks Union, which has
called a strike in a number OF the
local stores. treated Washington with
a novelty yesterday when 1t secured
the services of some female labor
pickets and set them to work in front
Of two Pennsylvania avenue stores.
Throughout the day the young
women marched up and down their
posts muttering in low, but audible
tones: This store is unfair to union
labor"
The pickets were secured by the
union after several Of their members
had been arrested for making their
announcement too loud in front of
the boycotted stores last week.

PAPERS CONSOLIDATE.

The Todd County Argus, last week,
officially announced it's discontinue
ton of publication and is now con-
solidated with the Long Prairie Lea
der. The announcement was a great
surprise, not only to outside towns,
but to Long Prairie as we'll. However,
as Long Prairie is hardly large
enough to support two papers, espec-
tally in war times, it is wise move
and the public will undoubtedly be
served as well with the one paper.
The Argus has been in circulation
since Jan. IL, 1876. J. E. Chrysler,
the former editor, has not yet an
nounced his plans for the future, but
intends to remain in Long Prairie.

A BUSINESS ROMANCE.

There are few people in any civiliz-
ed part Of the world who have not
heard of the well-known kidney
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills. The
story of the introduction of this
remedy from country to country until
the globe had been girdled would
read like romance.
1t is a strong testimonial to the
merits of a remedy which has now
been on the market for fifty years and
for the progressiveness of a typical
American business firm, Foster-Mil-
burn Company, Buffalo, N. Y, who
have inspired confidence everywhere
in their advertising, by the use of
local testimonials.

Frankson does get into the guber-
Material game the voters will know
that his name is on the ballot. He
is regarded as the best advertising
man in the state.
The new state capitol now has as
near neighbor a tombstone factory,
buildings for which are now being
erected on land nearby. The tomb
tone plant is in the shadow of the ex-
ecutive Offices and his excellency is

State Senator Carl Wallace of Min
neapolis is reported to be seriously ill

Wallace was prominent member of

F. w. Murphy of Wheaton, now
prominent in the movement to

BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIAL.

Blu SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIAL.
The Congregational church Sunday
school had big social for all the
scholars and teachers on Wednesday
OF last week and it was a great sue
cess. Not being able to accommodate
so large a gathering in the church
basement the Oddfellow hall was hired
for the occasion and proved none too
large. More than 100 scholars and
teachers were present and it was
necessary to have two sittings at the
supper which followed the social
hour. The social was the climax to
contest which has been going on for
some time in the school with tn,
object of stimulating attendance an1
interest. The side captained by O. B.
Boobar was victorious and G. H.
Vandesteeg side had to plan the
social. Mr.. Glen Cooper's Mandolin
band provided the music and every
body had a good time.

State Schmahl is inclined to insist
that the enlargement be made despite
the attorney generals opinion. The
attorney general admits that there is
not much in the way Of punishment he
could infict if his ruling were dis
obeyed, but he thinks he might be able
to GUST the offending members.
Chairman Eric Thornton of the Re-
publican state central committee an
nounced this week that it is possible
the committee may open headquarters
in the Twin Cities Shortly after the
first of the year and prepare for the
coming campaign. Such, he believes,
is necessary because of the activity
now being shown by the Democrats
and others interested in capturing the
state next year. Since it's participa-
ton in the election of a national
committeeman some weeks ago those
responsible for the election of Frank
B. Kellogg as committeeman as
against Fred B. Carpenter have been
the recipients of some hot shots from
friends of the latter and the COM
mittee's disruption threatened. The
committee, however, is still in exist
ance with friends of I. A. Caswell
pretty much in charge. Both he and
his lieutenants ceem to be we'll able to
weather the storm.
Is the state safety commission
worth the price? A vote taken in the
population centers would undoubtedly
find a decided majority clamoring for
it's goat, but there is no question but
that it is looked upon by majority
of the rural districts as supplying a
long felt want in a law enforcement
way. To date the chief activities of
the commission have been in an up
lift way and naturally the population
centers have been hit the hardest, but
to be frank about it the infections
made have been more in the way of ir-
ritation than any real stamping out
of the vices directed at. If the COM
mission has any real fault it is its
constant attempts at things beyond
it. It's price-fxing stunts to date
have been a joke. There are, how
ever, many things it can do and
probably will do before it's finish is
reached.
State Auditor Preus is preparing
to receive bids for several bodies of
choice state iron ore lying beneath the
beds of several northern Minnesota
lakes. The last legislature provided
for the lease of such deposits and Mr..
Preus is of the belief that the new
law will enrich the state school fund
to the extent of many millions OF
dollars. Under the lake bed lease act
a royalty of fifty cents per ton is ex-
acted. Present state leases pay a

On the steamship Crook leaving Anchorage last Thursday, fifty tons of rutabagas and turnps from the Matanuska valley will be shipped Seattle and placed the market in competition produce raised the outside.
 This means that despite the great distance this produce is carried it is impossible for the CTS here to raise vegetables and ship them to the outside and yet realize profit Under these condi ons there is limit to the amount of exports which may be credited to the Matanuska Valley.
 The significant feature of the exportation of veg etables, however, is the fact that Alaska which years has found it necessary import practically all It's foodstuffs is producing than can consume in certain lines and is helping to feed the great outside
 With the return of normal shipping conditions and the inauguration of low freight rate for all exports, the Matanuska farming district will expand until it reaches such proportions that exportations will be measured in ship loads rather than in tons
