The COLE LINE
SUCCESS IS COMPLETE

Tracing tho history Of the various
important factors in the motor car In
dustry in this country, one finds that
each has built its success along some
particular line.
In this connection, the policy Of the
Cole Motor Car company is Interesting
and impressive
From the first the Cole company has
sought to anticipate the trend of
styles in tho field of motor cars. In
the earliest days. many of it's nova
tions were regarded as radical depart
mres. yet time proved their practical
bility and soon they were almost uni
yersaliy adopted by Coles contem-
porarics.
Hence those who had been follow =
ing the career of the Cole, were quick
to realize that the aero-eighf marked
another stride In advance on the part
OF this aggressive organization and the
-pi edictiop- that-the- aero-elght @ould
act as sponsor OF an entirely new
vofrue In motor ear design found
speedy substantianon. For, hardly a
new car has appeared since the aero
eight was introduced, that has not EN-
bodied at least some of the distinctive
features of design which the aero
eight originated.
To realize fully its aims to offer
styles Of universal appeal and yet In
olvance Of the time, the Cole present

H. w. Swenson, one Of Ramsey
county's most prominent practicing
attorneys outside of Devils Lake, a
resident of Brocket where he has en-
gagged in his profession and banking
for several years, has been appointed
county judge to succeed the late E.
H. Griffin.
Judge Swenson, aged IS, is a
graduate of the law branch Of the
state university, having been admit
ted to the bar in 1914. At one time
he was superintendent of the Hope
consolidated school and in his boy
hood was a resident of Lakota.
Altho his name was submitted to
the county commissioners making the
appointment along with six others,
Judge Swenson's name was the only
one considered. On Wednesday, the
day before the appointment, The
World made mention of his candidacy,
the only newspaper to do so, altho
it was generally believed old line pol
iticians would head off the appoint
ment, in the hope of securing the ap-
pointment Of a local man.

Fumes of iodine have recently been
urged as a method Of administering
that drug preferable to the usual

shown also that inhalation is very

Bull Baitino.

This was Il sport once popular In
England, but declared illegal In 1885.
A bull was attacked by dogs, and
sometimes tho n0stri's Of the hull were
blown full OF pepper to increase his
fury. Another form Of the sport was
to fasten the bull to a stake by a long
rope and then set bulldogs at him, one
at a time. which were trained. to seize
the bull by the nose. The bulldog
seems to have been developed for this
sport from q short-eared mastiff called

SEALED GRAIN GOOD SECURITY

Nearly two years ago a great storm OF
protest arose over a suggestion from Nonpartis-
an league circles that the safe of North Dakota
could work out a system Of farm storage of
grain, whereby a state seal would be put on the
granary of the farmer and the sealed-up grain
used as security for a bank loan. There prob
ably is not an important I. V. A. paper in the
Northwest that has not taken a fling at this
"wild, impractical and socialistic idea"
Consequently, it is some satisfaction to note
hat H. F.. Macintosh, manager of what is called
the Farm bureau of the Omaha Chamber Of
Commerce, advances the same idea.
with a warehouse receipt of this kind"
says Mr.. Macintosh, "under normal conditions
farmers would be entitled to go to a bank and
receive credit on their unmarketed grain"
If the anti-League politicians of the North
west, who have been promising to do so much
for the farmers, really mean to do anything at
all, they could make a good beginning by franz
ing a law for standard farm storage houses for
grain, and make the beginnings of a statewide
system of inspection.
THE WHIP OF JUSTICE
The whip Of justice awaits the proiteers
who have compelled the American people to
pay excessively high prices for coal and other
necessities of life and comfort. Attorney
General Palmer is moving to bring justice upon
the heads of the men who may be found guilty
Of profiteering in coal.
The people paid high prices in war times,
and naturally expected to do so; but prices
have continued to increase, and for no apparent
reason. The chief offenders appear to be in
dependent operators and the middlemen, who
seized upon necessities of the public to extort
profteering prices from coal retailers who were
obliged to have coal to satisfy the demands of
their customers.
There is more or less good reason to believe
that the old line companies have been in league
with the middlemen and spectators, and that
they have refused o execute their contracts in
order to drive the retail coal men to the indie
pendents and such is just what has happened.
