COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETS
NEW ROOMS UTILIZED FOR THE
MEETING AT THE COM
MUNITY BUILDING.

The Commercial Club held it's
meeting Tuesday evening at the Club
rooms in the Community Building.
The room is commodious and par
ticularly we'll adapted for meetings
of this kind. The acoustic prop
critics are fine and with the excellent
light and ventilation the room will
prove immensely popular.
The meeting Tuesday evening was
called to order by President Brozich.
Reports were received from the Legis-
lative Committee regarding legis-
lation before the Minnesota legisla-
ture directly affecting this city and
section of the state. President H. j.
Merdink of the Minnesota branch of
the Wilson Highway reported on the
session of the association at Kansas
City which he attended.
Road Engineer Hughes gave a
comprehensive account of the Bah
cock system of roads and also stated
at length the Federal aid for roads
and the benefits to be derived from it..
The aims of the Babcock bill were
clearly set forth by Mr.. Hughes and
his remarks were enthusiastically re-
ceived.
Communications from Carlos Avery
regarding game and fish laws of the
new code and letters from Senators
Kellogg and Nelson on the public
building project were read and dis
cussed. The public building appro-
priation for this city was included in
the omnibus appropriation bill which
failed of passage before the adjourn
ment of the last Congress but will be
one of the first matters taken up by
the new Congress. ~
The National Forest officials re-
ported that the pamphlet calling at
tention to the advantages of the Su-
perior Forest as camping ground
and general good place for cutters,
was ready for distribution and that
an edition of any number could be
secured at the price of SO per 1 900.
The Club ordered $500 to be dis
tributed with the other literature
being sent out by the Club.
AS many members as possible were
asked to attend the meeting of the
st. Louis County Club at Virginia to-
morrow. The Ely members of the
several committees are especially re-
quested to be present. Several cars
of members are expected to leave to-
morrow morning for the meeting.
A committee composed of Jas.
Moonan, G. T. Ayres and L. J. White
was named to secure exhibits for the
Commercial Club room and other
wise make the rooms as attractive
as possible.
Members were requested to pay
their dues to either Secretary Mer-
dink or to Manager Fox at the Com
munity Building.

COMMUNICATED
BIG SHIPMENT OF SHEEP.


Right in line with the sheep prop
uganda of the past few weeks comes
the fact that the first shipment Of
sheep for st. Louis county has just
arrived, ten carloads of 200 head
each being unloaded at Turney on
Tuesday, April 8, 1000 head for a
starter Walsh & Chace of Duluth
brought in the consignment Of Mon
tana sheep and will have them gra-
zing around the hills and valleys
near Turney, Agnew Brothers old
sawmill and lumber camp being the
headquarters.
This means both land clearing and
fire protection, and, if the work con-
tinues as it undoubtedly will, sheep
will be coming this way during the
spring and summer months. The
farmers will no doubt take advant-
|age of the situation and buy enough
promising lambs or ewes to start
their own future focks. Sheep are
good property, and especially since
the big fire has public sentiment
turned toward the woody tribe az an
agency to help prevent future dis
asters.
Keep them coming! Less forest
fires and larger clearing, more lambs,
wool and mutton should be the slogan
for st. Louis County.
H. G. LARSEN,
County Agent.

INSPECTOR OUT
WITH THE FACTS
Had Suffered Fifteen Years
Trouble Ends After He
Takes Tanlac

Il never thought | would come out
with a public statement for Tanlac,
but I Just feel so good over the way
it has helped me that l think ought
to talk for the benefit of others suf-
fering like l did," said Joe Woltring.
of 7O9 National Ave., Milwaukee,
Wis, to a Tanlac representative, re-
Gently. Mr.. Woltring is an inspector
for the Chalmers Mfg. Co., MAX
ers of power machinery, and has been
with this firm for forty years. He is
we'll known and highly thought of in
the community in which he lives.
"For something like fifteen years
have had trouble with my stomach"
continued Mr.. Woltring, II didn't
have any appetite to speak Of and
seemed to eat more from habit than
anything else, because I didn't relish
nv food, and at times what little l
did eat just seemed to settle in my
stomach in a lump and I would puff
up with gas and have palpitation of
the heart and belch up sour, undi-
gested food. had to be mighty care
full what l ate, too, because any kind
of rich, greasy food always caused me
just that much more misery, and this
trouble with my stomach naturally
made me so nervous I didn't sleep
we'll at nights, and when l got up
some mornings I felt completely ex-
hausted and had mighty disagree
able taste in my mouth.
81 had read about Tanlac and saw
where people right here in Milwau-
kee claimed they had been relieved
of troubles like mine by using it, so
I thought would give it a trial, but
at the start really didn't have much
faith in it, because I had already
taken so many other medicines with
out being helped any. Well, sir, the
way Tanlac began to relieve me of
that long standing trouble in just
few days certainly opened my eyes,
so. kept right on taking the medi-
cine till now my stomach is perfect
ly sound in every respect. lave
grand appetite now and can eat
heartily of anything 1 want and
never have any trouble with gas.
can sleep as soundly as school boy
at night and get up in the morning
feeling fine and ready for hearty
breakfast and when 1 start off to
work I feel like life is really worth
while just. wish everybody suffer-
ing from stomach trouble could get
Tanlac, because I know what it did
for me and feel sure it will help

Quoits Really Ancient Game.


The QUOT is a nattish ring Of iron,
used in playing. II Is generally from
eight and half to nine and half
inches in external diameter, and be-
tween one and two inches in breadth,
convex on the uppe side and slightly
concave on the under side, so that the
outer edge curves downward, and IL
sharp enough to cut into soft ground.
The game played with such rings re-
quires two pins, called hobs, driven
part Of their length into the ground
some distance apart; and the players,
who are divided into two sides, stand
beside one hob, and in regular sue
cession throw their quoits, of which
each player has two. as near the other
hob as they can. The side which has
the QUOT nearest the hob counts q
point toward the game, or, If the QUOT
is thrown 80 as to surround the hob.
it counts two. The game slightly re-
sembles the ancient exercise Of throw.
