But the senator didn't have to dig the jury con-

shell out the $4,000 demanded and returned a YER
dict against the plaintiff. 8, .s;tt< I'll.
Three interesting sidelights came to the public
out of the trial: one, that a man can win q law
suit no matter how wealthy he may be; second, that
Senator Ward may be old, but that he is still able
to call bluff, and third that Julius Haycraft,
attorney for the defendant, is just as eloquent as
he was when member himself Of the senate. Any

Civil war, advanced to 9. position Of supremacy by
his logged determination to adhere to the policy,

As there are no "hot and heavy contests in sight,
it is not expected that particularly intensified

ST. CLOUD GETS BUSY

Down St. Cloud way, if old man General Pros
perity doesn't show up just as soon as they think
he should, the city reaches out and grabs him by
the nap of the neck, slams him down to stay with
"Gadtumecha."
few days ago the business men OF that enter
prisine town held "return-to prosperity festival,
which included street parade composed mostly OF
farm M cfinery which the farmers Of that terri
tory have bought for this years operations.
It was trade-stimulating, confidence building at
fair. The farmers caught the spirit and began to
realize as they had not done before that after ALL
agriculture has not completely gone to the bow
vows and that it has been far in that direction
as it's going, and that now it is on the way back
AS for the business men, they did not need a
telescope to see that the demonstration means a
revival of trade and that happier days are at hand
in the commercial world. -
What St. Cloud has DONE other towns might we'll
also do. Bemdj has had her own activities along
this line although not IN quite definite FORM
But this city, as must be the case everywhere, is
enthused over the St. Cloud effort and the psyche
logical effect throughout the state is such that the
enterprise of our neighbor to the south is bringing
wave Of favorable comment. 49, -"
After all, "hard times" is pretty much a frame

Pastel colors are

striking effects, such as
delicate black stitching
