Bemidji Sentinel Endorses Nelson.

Following is an extract from the
Bemidji Sentinel, an independent
weekly newspaper which has strong
leaning toward the democratic party:
The reelection of United States
Senator Knute Nelson is urged by
President Wilson, who asks that the
Minnesota senior senator be made to
accept another term. The president
urges that Senator Nelson be not al
lowed to retire and that in recognition
Of his patriotic service to the nation
he should be reelected without op-
position.
The Sentinel has at all times con
tended that Senator Nelson should be
reelected, and without opposition, and
we firmly believe that President Will
sons attitude will convince the grand

old Viking that the country now needs
his services more than ever before.
The democrats Of the state stand
ready to back Senator Nelson and it is
most certain that should he consent to
remain in office he will be compliment
ed by election without opposition. .
II know Senator Nelson we'll, and I
know that he would like to retire and
spend his declining years in peace"
the president is quoted as saying.
"But if Senator Nelson was sure that
he had but one more year to live, he
owes that year to the country. With
his ability and his knowledge Of inter-
national affairs, his services are in
valuable to the nation at this time.'
The nation needs Senator Knute
Nelson.

Spelling Milaca.

Some thirty years ago, when our
present county auditor, G.. C. Smith,
served as postmaster at the local post
office, people were not very well &C
customed to spelling the names of
psotoffices throughout this vicinity,
the country being more or less unset
tied and the settlers taking more time
to clearing off their land than attend
ing to- educating themselves. Mr..
Smith made record of the many ways
Of spelling different offices in the
vicinity that came to his notice, and in
looking over some of these records re-
Gently he found the following different
ways Of spelling our sister city, Milaca,
in the early days: ~
Milaca, Millacy, Millaca, Melaca.
MALTA Ca, Mellarke, Millaake, Milla-
Gle, Mill Laca, Millacce, Milacka, Me-
lake, Melacka, Mellaca, Melaka, Mil

The Highway Freight Train.

A highway freight train is being
operated, by motor trucks all the way
from Akron, Ohio, TO Boston, Massa-
chusetts. This freight line is called
the Boston & Akron Express, and it
is operated by a tire manufacturing
company. So successful has the ex-
pertinent been that more trucks have
been ordered so as to extend the SER
vice.
The round trip is fifteen hundred
and ten miles, and the scheduled time
is less than a week. The trucks are
usually on time. An efficiency spe-
cialist claims that the express COM
panies do not deliver the goods in
Boston as promptly as the trucks do,
and that the costs are fairly COMPETE
tive with express charges. Several
truck trips have also been made to
Washington with material for the gov
eminent and good time was made.
On this trip from Ohio to the At
lantic coast but twenty-eight miles of
unimproved road are found. This
stretch gives more trouble than all the
other hundreds of miles. It is the
weak link in the chain.
This service has convinced many
manufacturers, who have been study
ing it since it began last April, that
the problem of economic distribution
lis going to be enormously helped by
the country road as soon as it is put
into condition to accommodate high
way freight trains. The motor truck
is on it's way to relieve the railroads of
some of. the enormous carrying bust:
ness that is embarrassing them.
The iron track has been doing splen-
did work and will continue to do it.
But more and more it will be supple
mented by permanent country road
ways. The highway freight train has
doubtless come to stay. Through
routes will be quickly developed tc
supplement the railways, especially
for short-haul traffic. Minneapolis

In this we. believe they are exercising
common sense, especially in the face
of present market quotations.
We are told that there are thousands
Of bushels Of potatoes stored by far
mers in their cellars. This is proba-
bly, fact, but the farmers, or most Of
them, can afford to hold their tubers
for a month or more, when, if we are
not mistaken, they will realize consid-
erably higher prices than those which
they can at the present time obtain.
Forty cars, mostly table stock, have
been shipped during the past week, the
warehousemen taking advantage Of
the mild weather to unload.

Wizards Troubles.

To say that there is no royal road to
success is simple. But few men have
struggled as Daniel Willard, the great
railroad man, has.
Mr.. Willard is quoted as saying:
"When I began braking on the 500
line, which is now 1000 mile system,
it had half a mile of track, one engine,
one locomotive engineer and one con-
ductor. Soon we had 46 miles Of track.
and one train running each way day.
was made mechanical foreman. That
sounds all right. But my job included
not merely making what locomotive re-
pairs were necessary, and repairs tx
freight cars, but keeping the coaches
clean, sweeping them out regularly,
looking after repairs on the line, jump
ing in to take the place Of engineer or
conductor whenever occasion arose,
and acting as telegraph operator. Yes,
l had taken the precaution very early
to master telegraphy as possible
stepping stone some day.
| "Besldes all that, had to take care
of the roundhouse. In winter we had
cold SIS degrees below zero-and no
steam heat. My worst trouble was to
keep the water in the engines from
freezing during the night. I ha7 to
sleep alongside the engines in my rnr>-
derclothes, and every two hours or sc,
I had to get up and put wood in four
little stoves that tried to fight away
the frost. I hit upon the plan of
placing pals containing an inch or two
of water here and there over the foor,,-
and when I got up in semi-darkness I
used to feel each pail to see if the
water had begun to freeze. If there
was no ice, I shut the hampers so that
I wouldn't have to get out of bed again
so soon; if there was any ice I would
fill up the stoves and leave the hampers
open to prevent disaster" :.

Harold Mudgett and the Dude.

During the deer-hunting season a
Minneapolis dude wearing scarlet
coat and cap, a pair of polished leg
gings, and equipped with an automatic
rifle, stopped at Harold Mudgett's
ranch in the town of Mudgett and
asked whether he could board there
for a few days. "Certainly," replied
Harold.
The next morning the chappie asked
Harold where the most likely place
would be to find deer. Pointing to a
big stump in the distance Harold told
the guy to go there and remain behind
the tree until a deer came strolling
along, casually remarking that the
woods were full of 'em. At the same
time he knew that no deer had been
seen in that particular locality for
years. 49,
Striding across the fields the hunter
took up his position as directed.
In a couple Of hours he returned
putting and painting, to the Mudgett
home and informed Harold that he
had killed a fine buck and would like
to have it hauled up to his car. Harold
thought the fellow had either gone
insane or that he had shot calf or a
hog instead of a deer.
However, he hitched up his horses tc
a wagon and drove to the stump in
company with the dude. "There was
the buck all right" said Harold, "and
so surprised was I that I almost col
lapsed. The fellow told me that the
buck had stopped near the stump and
that he shot it through the heart
killing it instantly"
Before leaving for home the city
chap thanked Mr.. Mudgett and prom.
Used to return next year to again try
his luck,

Victory for Canadian Unionists.

Canada in no uncertain terms has
declared in favor of CONSUMPTION and
vigorous war policy. At the election
there on Monday the Unionists had
sweeping victory and Sir Robert
Borden will have good working ma
jority to back him in parliament. The
French Canadians in the province Of
Quebec voted almost solidly in favor
of candidates opposed to CONSUMPTION.
Quebec will now be obliged to furnish
its quota the same as the loyal western
provinces.

Mrs. A. N. Holm.

Mrs. A. N. Holm died at her home
in Wyanett on December 10 from heart
disease. At the time she was stricken
Mrs. Holm was on her way to visit a
neighbor and was accompanied by her
son, Charles. He succeeded in assist
ing his mother to reach the neighbour
house before she expired.
The funeral services were conducted
on Tuesday morning by Rev. Peterson,
in the Swedish Baptist church, Wya-
nett, and the reverend gentleman paid
a high tribute to the good, generous
woman whom God had called to the
heavenly realms. The remains were
laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery
Wyanett, and there were numerous
tributes from neighbors and friends in
the shape Of beautiful floral offerings
Mrs. Holm would have reached her
9th birthday on March 81, 1918. She
was born in Wermland, Sweden, and
came to the United States in 1870. On
November 27, 1871, she was married
to A. N. Holm in the city of Duluth
and located, with her husband, in Wya-
nett in October, 1892, and there she
lived until called by God to enter the
heavenly sphere.
Her husband and the following chill
dren survive: Sons-Nicholas W..
Princeton; Adolph S., Chas. F., and
Clifford w., Wyanett; Walter w. and
Russell, Minneapolis. Daughters
Mrs. S. Swanson, Anna Holm and FL
vina K. Holm, Minneapolis; Mrs
Aaron Bengtson, Mispah. All of the
children, with the exception of Mrs
Bengtson, who was sick, attended the
obsequies.
God never created a more lovable OF
more generous woman than Mrs
Holm-she possessed a most kindly
soul. If ever a woman followed the
footsteps Of the Redeemer it was Mrs
Holm. Always charitable, always for.
giving, always generous to fault was
this good woman who has passed tc
the better realm. Long will he1
memory be cherished by those who
knew her in this world of sorrow.
