growing fear is that instead of elm

in truth it can be said, are much con-
cerned over the situation. Quoting a
state capitol official, the Republican
state convention scheduled for May-if
-called-is is liable to be the best little
package of "TNT' ever concocted and
if mishandled is due to blow the Min
nesota G. o. P. to atoms. This is
on the assumption and it is the claim,
that the proposed gathering is being
framed in advance for certain inter-

party the way they put it and while
lot sf the talk indulged in is of the

and such is having its effect on bona

the convention as party and candi-
date harmonizer. In this neck of the
woods no one would be surprised if

Republican gubernatorial convention

fly in the ointment is State Auditor
Preus, who friends of the two named
say early in the game denied any am
bitions in gubernatorial way and
wished the others a fervent God-speed.
Now they charge that interests and in
dividuals favorable to the dark horse

CORNER CUTTING"

Statistics prepared by the police
department show that two-thirds of
all auto accidents accur at
street intersections and that corner
cutting is responsible for large per-
centage of these.
Drivers cut corners to save time
and avoid checking speed; but it is
not good sense to risk an accident to
save minute.
You may take thousand chances
and get away-but you never can tell
when that collision is going to occur

shape Of the old Tawney machine in

plays ball in the North country. This
trio with line of trading that will

With the Townley ticket fully
launched. its platform popular con-
glomeration calculated to appeal to the
general unrest and it's gubernatorial
candidate fairly free from the criti-
cisms featuring League candidates OF
the past, the Republican party can
ill afford to row within its ranks at
this time. Even the unwashed is not
free in this respect and unless both be-

Townley will add another state scalp
to his collection before the year has
closed. To be frank about it, yours
truly has in mind several persons ac-

faction either. When this letter was

and schemes. julius A. Schmahl, up
to the present time regarded as the
best bet in convention gubernatorial
way, was said to be considering his
withdrawal from the gubernatorial
lists, while friends of NJ j. Bowling
were limiting that unless things were
on the square he would have none of
it. In the back ground was j. A. O..
Preus, saying nothing, but with his
friends working like Trojans in his
behalf. In other quarters talk was to
the effect that both Schmahl and
Preus would be eliminated in the in
terest of harmony, and prospective,
hoping to realize as result, were be-
sieging the local prints for recogni-
ton. AS one local politician aptly
put it, "She's a bear" In some quar-

whether the proposed convention

OH. WHAT A NOISE.

Did you hear that noise that sound
ed like young fog-horn? That's a
youngster blowing his nose and be-
cause his method is the common meth
cd of blowing the nose, among chill
dren and adults as we'll | wish to say
a word or two about the harm that
follows
Our ear specialists tell us that deaf
ness is often due to severe blowing
of the nose while holding it firmly
either with or without a handkerchief.
These experts claim that consider
able percentage of middle ear disease,
some cases resulting in the formation
of pus, is due to the same faulty
method of blowing the nose. When
the blowing is so severe that the
Eustachian tubes are dilated and the
drum membranes forced outward,
some damage is being done to the ear.
The proper way to blow the nose is
to put no pressure on either nostril
with the hand or handkerchief. No
more force should be used than when
a handkerchief is held on inch or two
from the nose. When this is done,
there is no backward pressure of air
in the Eustachian tubes and infection
is not carried up to the middle ear.
Let US remember that one should
never blow his nose or sneeze with
out holding a handkerchief before
the nose and mouth. Let us remem-
ber also that the purpose of a hand
kerchief is not to prevent the air from
escaping outward, but rather to catch
infections material which may be
forced from the nostrils, thus endan-
gering others and often being respon-
sible for the spread of disease.
