Is Nicholas ROmanOff, former
Russian czar, alive or dead? Bernard
Naumberg, q New York lawyer, has
been named by Supreme Court Justice
Benedict in Brooklyn as committee
of one to find out. The Marine Trans
portation Service corporation early in

of sugar to Russia on the then cars

Nicholas was deposed and, according
to generally accepted reports, slain.
Mr. Naumberg learned that the czar
had $1,0OOO00 on deposit in the Ma

Judgment for Silt, ,45O, but upon pre-
senting it to the bank was Informed
the bank could not pay out any of the

"ARMY OF THE GREAT WAR"

The United States is to have an
American association Of veterans Of
the world war under the name OF

War" or something of the kind. A
convention to be called November IL
in Chicago will pass upon various pre-
liminary steps Of organization taken in
the meantime, both abroad and at
home
Six hundred "doughboys," "med-
ics," "birdmen," engineers, artillery
men, "noncoms," captains, colonels
and generals assembled in Paris and
formed a tentative organization. An
executive committee Of six, equally di-
vided between officers and enlisted
men, was elected, with Col. Milton J.
Foreman of Chicago chairman. A
similar organization is being formed in
this country among the soldiers who
did not get overseas, under the lead
of Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt
whose portrait is herewith printed. A
tentative constitution thus defines meI

THE HEREFORD SALE.

Minnesota jumped into the nation
al lime-light a few weeks ago when
the Associated Press dispatches car
ried the message to all parts of the
United States and Europe that a
Minnesota pure bred stockman had
paid the worlds record price OF
$4,000 for Hereford bull.
This purchase of the world re-
nown sire, Richard Fairfax, 449,317,
served not only to bring within the
borders of our own state an animal
that is admittedly the greatest sire
of his breed but it has attracted at
tenion to the fact that Minnesota IS
quietly gathering in her domain many
of the finest herds of pure bred cat
tie to be found in the entire nation
and is rapidly assuming the leadership
in the breeding of pedigreed livestock.
There is a movement gathering
momentum to make Friday, June 9Th
a gala day for pure breds in Mime
sota for it is on this day that there
will be held in Candy, Mimi, the home
of the $4,000 sire notable sale of
Hereford cattle that bids fair to set
up new mark in the annals of the
pure bred livestock industry in Min
nesota. While breeders of white face
cattle from all over the United States
will be in attendance at this sale of
fifty choice COWS, including many
daughters of Richard, Fairfax it is the
expressed desire of the Ferguson Bros.

GAME OF GOSSIP.

A correspondent from one OF the
schools of the county this week sent
in the following which speaks for T.
self, and in which there is food Tor
thought:
One day last week the language
class played a game called Gossip.
The game is played by some one wins
pering a sentence to some child and
each child repeats it to his neighbor-
When the sentence had made the
rounds of the class, the result was
quite surprising. The original SEN
tence was, "Mike likes pumpkin pie
and cream" The sentence that final
ly made the rounds of the class and
was last heard was, 81 see monkey
with a hair PIN" Not much like the
original. Moral: Don't believe all you
hear, it may only be gossip. Don't
start playing the game, too many are
already at it.

TT IS GOOD BUSINESS
PROPOSITION

The proposition of building paved
roads on the highways designated to
be built in that manner in Itasca coun-
ty and constructing them as soon rs
possible, is good, sound, solid business.
The matter of cost resolves itself
to this: It will cost the tax payers of
Itasca County to build those roads
now Just five per cent of the money
expended to build the roads. That is,
/ If they are constructed now with mon
ey raised by bonds, the interest on the
bonds will cost the tax payers about
five per cent, and that is all it will
cost the county, for the state in time
will repay to the county the money
expended.
If the roads are not built now, they
will COST the county nothing -but we
won't have the roads.
So all it will cost to have the roads
within the next year or two will be
the five per cent year until the state
repays us the money expended on the
roads. The state will repay this mon
ey with funds derived from the social
ed wheel tax on motor vehicles, which
will have to be paid whether Itasca
county starts on it's road system now
or waits until the state starts it any
time in he mex ten years.
While the wheel tax on motor cars
will pay for the building of the state
trunk roads, the revenue from the
state one mill road tax and the other
state road levies will continue to pour
into the state road fund, and every
county will continue to get it's share
of this money the same as before.
However, this money will not be ex-
pended on the state system of trunk
roads. Instead, the county boards of
the state will designate new state roads
under the present state road law, and
the money from the present state road
fund will be used to build these new
state roads.
The trunk highways will be taken
care of with the proceeds from the
wheel tax, and this money can go to
other roads roads that will lead from
the interior, so to speak, to the trunk
line roads. 1t is estimated that the
state runk road system require ten
years to build, and in that ten year
period, the proceeds from the present
state road funds, it is estimated, will
build $4,000 miles of graveled roads in
addition to the hard surfaced roads
which. will be built with the proceeds
from the wheel tax.
If Itasca county waits until after the
proposed amendment to the constltu-
ton carries before starting the n
struction of the trunk highways, it will
have to wait the pleasure of the state
for its paved roads. They'll come in
any time from five to ten years. But
why wait? Can TtaSca county, with
it's matchless lake and summer resort
it's agricultural possibi-
titles, it's other extensive resources, at
ford to wat?
Emphatically, it cannot.
Another potent argument in favor
Of building the roads now is the en-
oloyment it would give to returned SOL

Worlds Record
Broken By IanlaC
OVER ONE MILLION BOTTLES
SOLD FIRST TEN WEEKS
OF THIS YEAR.

Tanlac has brought new romance
to the commercial world. 1t is the
story of an acceptance and apprcia-
ton of merit never before attained
by a proprietary medicine. Staid
business men to whom the actual fig
ures of the production of Tanlac have
been presented have secuted them I'M
til the proof was shown. The produc-
ton of Tanlac now stands at the rate
of almost four million bottles per year.
The exact figures are 3,992,80O. The
sale of million bottles in the first nine
months, which far exceeded any rec
ord ever made by proprietary medi-
cine, now seems insignificant.
OVER 1900 BOTTLES A DAY.
Sales this year bid fair to smash
all previous records, as the sale for
the first ten weeks of this year am
ounted to over One Million bottles an
average of over one hundred thousand
bottles per week, which is at the rate
of more than seventeen thousand bot
ties per day. It seems almost incre-
dible, but these are actual figures and
such is the record established by this
wonderful medicine.
Zone firm alone" said Mr.. G. F. Viii
lis, the international distributor of
Tanlac, ''has given orders for to-
tai of 10000 bottles within eighteen
months time. The firm | refer to is the
Spurlock- Neal Co., of Nashville, Tenn.
Mr.. C. S. Martin, president of this
great firm, who is also president OF
the Drug Jobbers' association, will
verify this statement.
"Tanlac is the result of many years
of arduous study by Mr.. Cooper and
his principal chemist. In fact, the
two of them have carefully watched
its development from the beginning
of the experimental stage to its pres
ent state of efficiency. So remarka-
BILE have been the results obtained from
this medicine that / doubt seriously if
either of these men realize the i'm
mensity of there success. Like many
other great discoveries, it has required
time to prove its far-reaching effects. :

employment and couldn't in hundreds
of instances, find other work. Now Is
the time to help them-in five or ten
wears they will have worked into 9TH
er grooves of employment and they
will not be available as they are at
present.
The hard surfaced road proposition
is a gigantic one. 1t will take a long
time to put it over if action is not
taken at once and action continued al
ter it is started. 1t will be a work
that will be enjoyed by future genera
tions. But the fact that it will be here
when we are all dead is no reason why
we should wait until we are ready co
die before we got busy on it. We won
be able to enjoy it when we are dead'
