To Re-wrap and Tie Ready-wrappedl

Here is a suggestion which might
profitably be adopted throughout the
state s. y
:" I received package yesterday that
was eight inches in circumference
weighed less than half a pound, and ii
had twenty feet of Irvine wrapped
around it.
u received package yesterday that
bought package of rolled OATS The
clerk: used one yard Of paper fifteen
inches wide and twelve feet Of Irvine to
wrap it up, Notwithstanding that the
manufactures had put the rolled oats in
a paper box carton, sealed it air tight
and then had covered the package with
clean, attractive label That's going
on in million stores So: -
1t takes more time for the clerk to
wrap the package than. it does to sell it.
The Irvine and paper are worth as much
as his time. Let everybody carry the

Hot Air Boosting.

IS It takes more than a calm, exact.
judicial statement about a town to get
under the hide Of a stranger. He seems
to need considerable amount of that
rarifed, sublimated hot air which
comes of super confidence to make him
sit erect and vOuchsafe consideration.
Tell stranger that Warren is fine
town for its size, and he won't even try
to get the right angle of vision to agree
with you. You'd be telling the unyar-
nished truth, all right but the chances
are that your stranger wants the truth
vanished with a brilliant hue
brilliant enough to make him see a
rainbow. If you rub in the persifage
you will make him realize that where
there is so much confidence there must
be a reason for it. Changing the
metaphor, he will be made to think
that where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire. 7'~ i
The shooting off Of hot air seems to
be the one sure kind of publicity that
unfailingly attracts attention. A plain.
truthful statement, made in a dignifed,
gentlemanly way, will instill conviction
in. d gathering Of scientists or other
highbrows who are built that way: but
the average person wants more than
the bare facts-he is emotional, and
wants atmosphere" exaggeration, hot
air. And he gets it, -sss:==.- :.:.,...-.
Warren is the most glorious, grand,
noble, majestic, sublime. sparkling,
scintillant, dazzling, effulgent and ra-
diant town in Minnesota. Tell your
stranger friend something like that, and
then proceed to prove it, and you will
get under his skin, if not his skull.
sary in cit prevents that cool re-
ception that freezes the blood.

Argyle had fire scare last week
when on Saturday evening Christmas
candles burning near the window in the
parlor Of the Argyle Hotel set fire to
the window curtains. The flames were
put out before the volunteer fire de-
partment were able to get on the scene.
The home Of w. III. Froehlich, Pen
nington county coroner and member OF
the exemption board, was Quilted by fire
at an early hour Monday morning, an
oyerheated furnace flue was the cause.
The loss is $4,000, partially covered by
insurance.
The custodian of the sanatorium at
Thief River Falls uses green poplar
wood with the soft coal in heating the
institution and claims there is con-
siderable saving in cost of fuel that
way, and better results are obtained.
The school building at Pembina was
completely destroyed by fire Monday.
The fire started in the engine room
while school was in session and spread
rapidly, but the school children all re-
sponded to the fire drills and were
marched out of the burning. structure
without accident. Within forty min
utes after the fire started the roof had
fallen in.

GOSSIPS ARE ACTIVE 3s5
ENEMIES OF COUNTRY

Every time you repeat, without In
Yestigation, one Of the attacks upon the
Red Cross you are just as much an
enemy Of your country as though you
were shooting down our soldiers in the
front line trenches.
You are even a worse enemy than
that, for your gossip If needed would
deprive wounded men of hospital atten-
ton, would leave women and children
to die of starvation, would leave France
and Belgium ruined wastes.
It you want to help and not hinder,
don't gossip. When you hear Mrs. x.
say that Mrs. Y. heard Mrs. q. say that
"a lumberjack in Michigan or Idaho or a
miner in Alaska paid $40 for sweater,
or that the soldiers don't get the socks
at all or have to pay for them, or that
officials Of the Red Cross get huge sal
aries and the whole organization is so
bound up in red tape that it is ineffi-
Gent, for heavens sake don't repeat the
story.
That lumberjack has been pursued
over hundred hills but he has never
been caught. Hundreds of stories of
the sale OF Red Cross sweaters to sol
diers and civilians have been thorough
~ investigated and never a shred of
thruth found in single one. The over
head expense of the Red Cross organi-
zation is fraction of one per cent,
There is no red tape. System is nee
essary to accomplish the huge task set
for the organization.
The best business Judgment and in
tegrity in the country is being given
without stint and without compensa-
ton to make the work Of the Red Cross
effective. 60 s.
Trust the Red Cross little and don't
kill the enthusiasm Of your neighbors
by repeating stories that have no foun-
dation. 81 -.

quota full and complete resort will
be made to induct men who were
registrants on June 5 and August "a
only, that is, men of the general reg
istration of September IL cannot be
indicted under the provisions of this
call. Nine men from Lake county
will be subject to this most recent
order. The call made on October s
that would have indicted "a men
from this county, but the prevalence
of Spanish influenza which warrant

There vas a sound of revelry by

was not in Belgium's capital. 1t was
right here in Madison and the cele-
bration Of Halloween was the occa-
sion of it. Squads and platoons of
bowling youngsters-some not so
young, either-took the city by storm
and continued their pranks until
midnight. Much portable property
of private citizens changed position
as If by magic and the dawn of a new
day revealed scenes of freakish and
ludricrous character. No real de-
struction of any extent was reported,
but there are people living within the
confines of Madison who were put to
some trouble and inconvenience to
restore missing property. Some of
these celebrants carried fun making
a little too far, bordering closely on
malicious mischief, but in the main
the merriment was innocent enough.
1t is a foregone conclusion that many
citizens are thankful that Halloween
comes only once a year.

standpoint of the farm everything
went well with him. His yields were

North Dakota venture was certain to

regretable is the fact that Mr.. Seaton
suddenly developed a strange and
painful swelling of the cervical
glands of the neck which annoyed
him and caused him much suffering
These affectations would be reduced
but a short time by a Minneapolis
specialist when they would reappear
Finally the physician urged him to
lay aside all physical labor as his
weakening state would not permit it
Mr.. Seaton acquiesced, sold every,
thing but his land and came to Mad.

THREE POUNDS SUGAR
INDIVIDUAL ALLOWANCE IN
CREASED, BEGINNING
TODAY.

Aberdeen, Nov. SPECIAL: Ac-
cording to advice from Mr.. Hoover,
commencing November 1, the sugar
allotment will be three pounds per
person per month, and for all public
eating places at the rate OF three
pounds for go meals. This change
is due to the rapid manufacture Of
the new crop of beet sugar in the
west and the new crop of Louisiana
cane sugar in the south, together
with the freer railway transportation
conditions. The reductions that we
have made in the consumption of SUI
gar in the manufacturing trades and
the patriotic conservation i'm the past
four months enables us to increase
the household allowance of sugar
from two pounds per person per
month to three. Accordingly, today
Mr.. Herreid instructed all retailers
to make sales on the sugar card sys-
tenn at the rate of three pounds per
person from November /.

ROSS KELLEY WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER FROM
PARIS, FRANCE, TO HIS
SISTER.

Sergt. Ross Kelley, who is identi-
fled with the 18th company, End mo-
tor mechanics regiment, which is now
at Paris, France, wrote a very inter
esting and newsy letter to his sister,
Mrs. j. b. Rowland, under date of
October 10. He states that he is now
serving temporarily as mess sergeant
and that he is doing a good deal of
roaming through the streets OF Paris,
which streets and ~boulevards he
finds to be very irregular and con-
fusing on account of their winding
nature. He is enjoying the city
however, and thinks he is learning il
quite well.
Ross describes his regiments in
terest in a bright, capable mascot
they have adopted and are now
schooling and clothing-a 12-year-
old French lad of unusual mental
capacity. The boy is diligent in do
ing all he a for the Sergeant" as
he always addresses Ross, and ex-
hibits that peculiarly pretty French
courtesy in every overture of word
or act. He is anxious to serve and
willing to learn. This boy whose
name is Archie is so far advanced
in his books that he is now taking
up the subject of square root in his
mathematical course. Altogether
Ross writes a most interesting letter
home.
