The near future will show whether
the imperialists or those who counsel
business recovery for Germany have
served allied business better-not to
mention other than business consid.
CITATIONS which should have weight in
a civilized world.
WOULD PUSH LAKE FREIGHT
Clifford ThOrne, well-known rate
expert for shipping associations in
their struggles against railroads, has
suggested that the so to 60 govern
ment transports now on the Great
Lakes be used for grain carrying. He
brought the matter to the attention of
the interstate commerce commission
while testifying before it in behalf of
the National Farmers Grain Dealers
association on the ground that it
would relieve rail freight congestion
somewhat and result in increased
transportation.
It is probably news to most people
that the government has such a fleet
available on the Great Lakes, and
every 20 tons which this fleet could
carry from Duluth or Chicago to Buff
fa1o would mean a freight car relieved
of about 500 miles of rail haul.
The Duluth-to-the-sea plan which
would, when developed, allow ocean
ships to take freight from lake ports
to any port in the world, is meeting
vigorous opposition from railroads and
New York interests. Before adjourn
ing the last legislature of New York
adopted resolutions condemning the
plan as. Canadian and therefor un
American, although it is the joint
work of the two countries. No point,
against the practicability of the pla1
have so far developed. \

Mystery Of Colonial Days.

III 1876, on June -, the settlement
of Hadley, Mass, was attacked by
force of 700 Indians. When the in
habitants were in the greatest danger,
a mysterious Englishman suddenly ap-
peared and led counter-attack
against the Indians, who were defeated
and driven off. The stranger who had
never been seen before in the village,
was SAID to be General COTE, one Of
the Judges who had condemned Charles
to death, and who had fled to the
colonies for refuge. It was supposed
that he had been living concealed \ at
the house of clergyman in Hadley.
After the conflict he disappeared and
was never heard of afterward

HOW ABOUT A HORSESHOE
TOURNAMENT AT THE FAIR

Full plans have not as yet been
completed, but it has been talked of
among the horseshoe throwers of the
county to inaugurate a Horseshoe
Throwers' Tournament at the County
Fair this fall. 1t is probable that
each township will be represented
with one team. Each village with one
and the City of Willmar with about
four.
This is a mighty good and novel
idea. We nominate Vic Olson of New
London, Rte. 3, president and Lars
Erickson of Lake Lillian, umpire.

KVALE BARRED BY
COURT DECISION
Judge Albert Johnson Decides in
Favor of Volstead and
Politicians

The decision of Judge Albert John
son of Red Wing to deny Rev. 0. j.
Kvale of Benson his nomination as
Republican candidate to Congress
from the Seventh District on the
grounds of having violated the corrupt
practices act seems almost unbelieve-
able yet was expected by many. We
have not at this writing read the
judges decision nor did we hear the
trial, but we have read the circular
on which the case was based
This is a free country. A man is
Untitled to hold his own religious be-
liefs. If Mr.. Volstead. as was under
stood by Mr. Kvale, was an ATHEIST
that was none of Kvale's concern and
he so explicitly states. But, Mr.. VOL
stead says he is not an ATHEIST and
evidently to the satisfaction of the
court in this trial proves that that
report is false; and for that reason,
the very fact that Mr.. Kvale publicly
refers to such report does in itself
Mr.. Volstead wrong The question
is, was it Mr. Kvale's intention to mis-
| represent, and if not, what provocation
did he have for referring to his politi-
| cal opponents religion at all?
Any man who knows Mr. Kvale
AAo"0 NC "OuIu AOL pu1 pOoCly Ills
represent, and any one who has fol-
| lowed this campaign knows that he
had prOvOcatiOn enough for referring
to his and his opponents religion.
II Rev. Kvale can be barred from
his nomination on the status of this
case, then in the name of justice, how
| about the politicians on the other
| side who have lied about and falsified
the Nonpartisan League and it's candi-
dates, calling them not only atheists
but free lovers, abolishers of home and
church, disloyalists, anarchists, Boil
shevists and everything else bad un-
| der the sun-things that the records
| prove and they knew were false.
OF course the Volstead-Kvale case
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court at once. And what ever the
verdict, Mr.. Kvale will be elected with
bigger majority than ever, for the
people know he is true blue not only
| to them but to that which is truest
and noblest in American politics to-
day.

Takes Wrong Bottle.

Hirum Lubbock farming on the
south side of the northshore of
Grass Lake is a mighty peeved
man these days. The way it was,
he was immuning his hogs for hog
cholera the other day and by mis-
take got hold of his only bottle
of Peruna instead of the serum.
The hogs are feeling fine however
and Hirum would never have known
the difference if he hadn't gone
to take him a sip from the other
bottle. It seems that hog serum
stuff has got an entirely different
taste from the Peruna, and that's
how Hi discovered the mistake he
had made.
LATER-The pigs have not yet
the least sign of any hog cholera
but the report is that Hirum is
developing the symptoms.

THE FLEA.

The flea is ?-legged animal
that infests the sandy soil of Nor
thern Minnesota. He is also found
as far south as East Lake Lillian
and in great abundance west of the
Rocky Mountains. The flea is not
large for it's size. But what it
lacks in quantity is made up in
quality. It is not so small but that
it can be seen with the naked eye,
if it would only stand still long
enough.
It's mouth is provided with :
piercing mandible and a suctorial
probosis which in reality are moth
ing less than small rat spear and
a hypodermic force pump charged
with 1iquifed cussedness.
The flea is equipped with legs
made of wha1ebone which enables
it to jump farther than a mountain
dALClOpc. LINZ Tic 4uOuALdlu SOdt
it lands on its horns but unlike the
goat it's horns are not curved back
but go straight in.
The favorite pastime of the flea
is to hop up the pantaleons of man
and d9turb his mental equilibrium
