ers in upper Minnesota.
Local exchanges made up of farm
ers having common shipping point
and large central exchange is the
new plan proposed and it is modelled
after the Michigan Potato Growers
Exchange which has brought from
thirty to fifty cents per bushel more
to Michigan potato growers than has
been paid to Minnesota farmers at
the same time in the same markets.
According to the new Minnesota
plan, the central Office which may be
located in Duluth, will keep in close
touch with the country's potato mar
kets and viii be able to dispose of
the products of the local exchanges
as fast as they can ship the goods
which will move direct from local ex-
changes to the markets where they
are wanted.
Final organization of the Minneso-
ia potato growers exchanges will take
place at University Farm, st. Paul,
Minnesota during Farmers and Home
Makers Week December 29th to
January 3rd.
Farmers around Ely who have

A Partisan doctor says that failure to wear
night caps is the cause of most of the colds, and
the influenza. The body is warm between the
blankets while the head, being exposed, gets
cold, and colds are responsible for many bodily
ills. In the olden days nearly everyone wore
nightcaps, but custom has changed this until
now no one wears them, hence the great in
crease in colds. The reason for the change of
custom was that people took to wearing night
caps in their stomachs. The doctor probably
overlooked this more recent custom, but now
that the country has gone dry the wooden night
cap can we'll be misunderstanding Iron Ore.

Twenty-Five members of the l. w. w. at Ia
coma, Wash, are out On hunger strike" be-
no doubt are blaming the capitalistic press for
their Incarceration. And yet in this grand old
country of ours there are jobs, good things to
eat, chance to live among regular men, a hope
for the present and the future; place where
every man, if he wills, can acquire a compe-
tence-and are doing so-tens of thousands
of them. A country which no other country
in the world has anything over it or on it. Yet
they are not satisfied with it and must light a
fuse or blow up railroad or a mine. Moral
derelicts they are. Let them all inaugurate a
hunger strike. There will then be more left
for worthier people.

Let US mine coal With coal more plenti-
full in the world than iron ore. With more de-
mand for it than for iron ore. With woeful
shortage in the coal bins of the world, there is
something rotten in America this time instead
of Denmark. Are we going to keep the home
fires burning or let them go out without looking
into this matter? If the miners are to blame,
then let's fix it. If the coal barons or the
miners haven't IL cylinders enough for every
member of their families, let's know that too.
This coal situation touches us all in these days
of below zero weather and something must
come to show down before long. Men to op-
crate, the mines surely can be picked up by
Uncle Sam. Where then lies the blame? When
half million men lay down the pick and the
shovel they are either too rich to work and
have money enough, else they have griev-
ance. But surely our hundred million or more
of people in the United States who all or near
ly all, use coal, must be interested in this coal
situation enough to stand up and find out just
where we are. There's some way out of it
let's find it. The coal MUST come.

In 1918 st. Louis county reported 1872 deaths
from consumption of the lungs, and % cases
OF tupercular troubles in other forms. And
yet we brag of the healthfulness of our eli
mate. Most certainly it cannot be the climate.
1t must be that we ourselves are to blame for
this awful death roll. Carelessness here and
there in the care of our health must be the
cause OF so much consumption in ST. Louis
county. The above is an awful record for a
county like ours. True, we are as large as
some states, but at that there is no excuse for
the above number of deaths from tuberculosis.
We should at once look into this thing and
fix it.

Cost Of Wives.

What is the market in wives? It is
said that among the Anus the price Of
one Is bear ham. The Kaffir figures
variOusly from four to eight oxen, ac-
cording to the competition for the par
ticular bride. A score of cartridges
buys wife in Uganda, and the Aus
tralian black gives the weight Of his
better half in butter. white the Tartars
In Turkestan get as many wives as
they want at the rate of box Of
matches each. In Wales wives are
given away-they are paid for rfter,

The time is hardly ripe yet to make the as

where we can look straight down six thousand
feet and say that we feel safer than when on a
good cement highway and the iii OF Ford is
ramblin' right along. We may come to that
point yet, but many of us will be required to
attach a new set of nerves to our systems before
we punch holes in the clouds.

Mexico is drifting along towards trim
ming" We have stood for about everything
from that country and one of these days the
last straw" is going to be laid. We have GER
tainly been patient and long suffering and have
used the typewriter in preference to the ma
chine gun in every case. But this watchful
waiting is growing tiresome. Every American
killed there or held for ransom is bringing the
Intervention (trimming) one day nearer. And
that is all there is to it. We are going in there
and before long, too, and remove the cookie
burrs from Carranza's whiskers. He sure has
it coming to him and we are the boys to give it
to him if he fails to act neighbory any longer.
The whole world must be made safe for Am
orleans. This throat Sitting business must be
cut out Our consuls must be respected and
not imprisoned. No one wants war with Mex
leo. We have always extended the olive limb
to every country. We buy what we want and
pay for it like the men we are-not take it by
force of arms. But human endurance is only
just so strong and the time seems near at hand
when something is going to break. An Am
erican executive in Mexico would in time make
for peace. And then when the Mexicans de-
cided to behave, their country would be handed
back to them. fortified border is no way of

written in the Jenkins case, then we are glad
of it and hope that something besides watch
full waiting will come out of it.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Re Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that II by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
perfect hearing. and when II is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir

One by one the Posts of the American Legion
are going. on record as against anything that
is not strictly American. Virginia Post vet
Grams come out squarely as against any ''isms''
now confronting our country. In time no doubt
every Post will go on record as being strictly
American and with the idea of maintaining
that which they fought for once and won-true
blue Americanism. With the initiative now in
the hands of our boys of the Legion, it is the
duty of every father of them to catch step
with them and see to it that they get what they
so nobly fought for. Down with the Reds
Down with everything that is un-American. Any
man who cannot talk FOR this great country
is an enemy of it. Let us keep everlastingly
at it until America is really and truly American
to the core. And let us go about it right Let
us be Americans in all that we do. Let US see
to it that laws are framed that the red flag
ger, the Nation wrecker, the revolutionist gets
exactly what is rightly coming to him. Any
man who cannot subscribe to our Constitution
should walk the plank leading to some country
where he will be made to feel at home. Whether
that is He'll or Hoboken makes no difference
to this writer, for that is our opinion of a red
fagger and their sneaking sympathisers Let's
clean this country of these fuse lighters, the
government wreckers, for our own safety and
comfort in our own country.
