When persons ask for aid it is wise
to make some Investigation into the
conditions and circumstances of the
persons pleading poverty. Charity is
a beautiful trait, but charity is some
times imposed upon. Generous and
kind-hearted folks are likely to give
to the undeserving as well as to the de
serving. We do not believe in being
cynical or captious, but a case which
has come to our knowledge proves the
point we wish to make. A Ladysmith
woman of well-known charitable in
clinations was importuned on several
occasions for assistance by members
of a family supposed to be destitute,
and she always responded. Sometimes
the children of the family came for
clothing and other articles donated for
their comfort. One day a little girl
of the family remarked to the lady,
eve are going to Minneapolis tomor-

were to make the trip, the lady in

Prof. elsie Bothne, head of the de

pletion of new dictionary of the

recent article in the Minneapoli;

100000 words.
Says the Journal article in part:
Though the rules governing the
Norwegian spelling have been chang
ed by the government twice since the
beginning of work on the dictionary
five years ago, and though the World
war interrupted all correspondence
between Prof. Bothne and his pub
fishers in Christiania, work on the
first American made compendium of
the Norwegian language has progress
sed steadily, and there remain only
minor revisionS and conference with
associates at the University of Chris
tfania before publication.
Writing a dictionary under the
most favorable conditions is no easy
job. Writing a dictionary of the
Norwegian language has difficulties
of its own, Prof. Bo:hne said.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In entering the race for a second
term as Senator from Winneshiek
and Howard counties, | have done
so a. the request of some of the
real thinkers, both within and with
out the district.
These people urged me to run for
a second term because they realize
that the new man, without expert
ence or acquaintance in the legtSla-
ture is handicapped in trying to ac-
complish things for his district and
the state.
During my first term in the Sem
ate, l have learned where | believe
real savings can be made and econ
omies in expenditure effected
A reduction in taxation is es-
sential to our welfare, and l have
definite plan TO accomplish this,
by effecting certain practical econ
omieS in expenditures, consolidating
departments that are duplicating
work; and more than this, by reach
ing a large amount of capital that
now wholly escapes taxation and
making its owners contribute their
proper share of taxes.
l have consistently favored and
supported progressive farm legisla-
ton, because | believed it right. and
if reelected, will continue to do so.
While l believe there must be a
reduction of railroad rates, l realize
chat until Congress gives the states
authority, the state Legislature has
its hands bound. l believe the state
should have more power over the
railroads, and not be subject to the
will of the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Mr.. Gross complains that | am
asking for second term, while Dr..
Jewell and Senator Enger had but
one term each in the senate. He has
overlooked the fact that DR.. Jewell
died late in his term in the senate
and could not run for a second term
to which he was entitled. Senator
Enger succeeded him; so Winnie
Shiek county had the member of the
senate for eight consecutive years
or Two terms. Senator Enger had
congressional aspirations, and so was
not a candidate for second term
in the state senate.
Each of these men had four years
experience in the house, so that each
had the benefit of four years legisla-
tive experience before going 20 the
senate.
If elected for second term, my
best endeavors will be to serve the
whole people of the district as / shall
consider myself the representative off
all the people.
| respectfully ask you 10 consider
my candidacy and VIII appreciate
your support and vote.

The disease has shown an increase

Cancer is no respecter of persons,

At the beginning, the disease starts
as local malady, and is easily eur

proper treatment in time. Speed
means life in the cure of cancer. Il
let alone all cases Of cancer will end
in death.
Danger signs are usually located
in some unhealthy spot or a. site
of a wart, mole, lump, or scab. Ii
the cancer begins within the body.
constant indigestion and loss OF
weight may be regarded as a danger
sign. AT first no pain whatever ac-
companies the disease.
If any Jumps or mark on the body
becomes sore or changes in appear
ance, especially all Jumps on the

of cure to wait until you are sure
it is cancer.
The only cure for the malady is
to remove every trace of the dis
ease. Medicines which relieve pain
do not have any appreciate effect
on the disease itself, but simply de-
lay the treatment.
A surgical operation is the only
sure way to cure cancer, and best
chances for recovery lie in an early
operation.

The extent to which federal aid has
been applied to the trails varies In
the different states. Naturally, the
Western states are using much more
OF the federal appointments In de-
veloping roads of this character than
the Eastern states. This Is due to
the fact that the routes In the East
ern states already had been improved
to a large extent before the roads
were selected by the pathfnders. This
was not true In the West, where long
stretches of the selected roads were
still In an unimproyed condition when
they we're designated.

funds on roads Of this character,
Eighty-three per cent OF Its entire
