rift Out Your Corns
5 IcE-MlNT
I THE NEW DISCOVERY ENDS
ALL
5 Foot Troubles

This new discovery, made from a
Japanese product is certainly a won
der the way it draws out inflamma-
ton from a pair of swollen, burning
aching feet. 1t takes the soreness
right out, then the corn or callus
shrivels and lifts off.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns
between the toes, just shrivel up and
lift off so easy. 1t is wonderful.
Just think! Not one bit Of pain
while applying Ice-mint or after
wards. 1t doesn't even irritate the
surrounding skin.
You will never have to cut corn
again and run the risk of blood
poison. Say good-by to your old
corn salve, plasters and bundling
tape for that pet corn of yours is
sure to be ..'goner" if it ever feels
the magic touch of Ice-mint.
1t imparts such a delightful, sooth-
ing. cooling feeling to the feet that
you will sigh with relief.
Ice-mint is the real japanese secret
for fine. healthy little feet. 1t pre-
vents foot odors and keeps them
sweet and comfortable. 1t is greatly
appreciated by women who wear high
nsS<phoes.
Just ask In any drug store for a
little Ice-mint and give your poor.
suffering. tired, swollen feet the treat
of their lives. 1t costs little and
there is nothing better.

New York. March e3.-The theory

given more support in statement by
George =. Lebrun, secretary to chief
Medical Examiner Morris, who was

she had quarreled.
1.-The mother said that this man
whom she called a Portuguese said
Lebrun, "had made proposition to
Dorothy, her daughter told her, to get
some money out of Dorothy's friend.
This friend she said, was a good
friend of her daughters and had been
very kind to her. The maid called
him the millionaire
Lebrun said Mrs. Keenan, told him
Dorothy would not agree to this pro-
posal and that Miss Keenan's older
brother told him that "this Portu-
guese had maltreated his sister and
he seemed to BE very bitter against
the man."
Quarrels between the Portuguese
and "the model" were described by
Mrs. Keenan,, Lebrun said, and he
declared she told him that the man
had slapped her daughters face a few
days before the killing.
Mrs. Keenan, told him she knew
"the millionaire" Lebrun asserted.
He said they told him about loss of
much valuable jewelry from the apart

DEVELOPS INTO A ScOLD

The lament of broken down old
man because he could not force the
American people to adopt his vag-
aries and become part and parcel
of the League of Nations which was
drafted by the French and British,
at Versailles following the close of the
World War, was the pitable spectacle
made by Ex-president Wilson in his
Armistice Day talk to the American
people by radio Saturday evening.
The issue was squarely before the
American people in the last presi-
Dental campaign and was repudiated
by an overwhelming majority. Moth
ing has been developed since to indi-
cate that the judgment of the great
mass of voters in 1920 was erron-
eous. Yet Ex-president Wilson places
his judgment ahead of the great mass
of Americans and has deteriorated
into a common scold.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO
IN MINNESOTA

Seventy years ago the first steps
were taken to give Minnesota all-yeal
communication with the outside
world. In the summer scores of
Mississippi river steamboats, solved
the transportation problem; but, as
one territorial governor expressed it,
''To get out from here, during the
winter is far above and beyond any
other consideration to the people of
Minnesota :"
A congressional land grant to Hi
nois for aiding railroad construction
aroused the hope that a similar grant
might make possible the building of
a railroad in the infant territory of
Minnesota. In anticipation of favor
able action at Washington the terri
torial legislature granted to a num-
Der of local ''men of enterprise" five
railroad charters, not one of which
resulted in the building of a road.
The Minnesota and Northwestern
Railroad company, Incorporated in
1854, had a strange history the de-
tails of which are told in one of the
most interesting chapters of the first
volume of DR.. Folwell's History of
Minnesota. 1t appears that this road
was built only in the imaginations
of some of those enterprising local
men and of a group of Wall Street
magnates. One project after anoth-
er resulted in failure, but finally, in
July, 1862, the first railroad in the
state began to perate between st.
Paul and the Falls of st. Anthony.
Another interesting development
of the year 1853 was the beginning
of survey Of a Pacific Railroad
from St. Paul to Pugent Sound" The
tax of exploring such route was in
trusted by the war department to
Isaac I Stevens. He arrived in st.
Paul on May II and by June 6 his
entire party was under way. The

ard it is generally admitted that had
I'D hours been devoted to Magnus'
candidacy in the last week before
election, he would have defeated Mr..
Freus.
In June of this year when he filed
as candidate for the Farmer-Labor
nomination for United States Sena-
to, his candidacy was considered a
Joke and it was quite a common thing
for the wise political writer's of the
metropolitan press to poke fun at
IMr. Johnson and his candidacy. The
Herald did not support Mr.. johnson
fer the United State Senate but we
recognize his potential vote-getting
qualities and his election over Gov.
Preus was not unexpected by those
who followed the trend of political
thought closely.
During his campaign and since his
election the successor of the late
Senator Nelson has availed himself
OF every opportunity to speak in pub
lie.
A prominent organization in New
York invited Mr.. Johnson to speak
to them; he has delivered addresses
in Chicago and elsewhere outside the
state. When he made his first visit
to the national capitol the newspaper
correspondents and others were anx-
ious to see him that they might give
this actual dirt farmer from Mime
sofa the "once over" at close range.
The people of the effete East went
to hear Mr.. Johnson as much out OF
curiosity as any other motive, but be-
fore he closed his addresses they
stopped to ponder over many OF the
utterances made by this unusual
man.
Not even Mr.. Johnson's most en-
thusiastic admirers can claim that he
is polished speaker. He has, how
ever, a we'll developed sense of dra-
mates backed up by large amount
of common, horse sense.
In his addresses before the people
of his own state during the past six
months Senator Johnson has modified
to. some extent, mis- utterances, and
although he has spoken in every coun-
ty in the state on numerous occasions,
nevertheless the announcement that
he will speak in any community al
ways attracts large audience OF
Minnesota people to hear him.
Sunday Senator johnson made an
Armistice Day talk before 5000 per-
sons in the Auditorium in st. Paul.
1t was his first Armistice Day speech,
the senator confessed, and after
hearing the preamble of the Ameri-
can Legion he stated that there was
but little for him TO add and promised

MAGNUS is GROWING

United States Senator Magnus
johnson is growing on the people of
Minnesota.
When he was nominated as can
didate for governor by the Farmer
Labor party year ago, thousands of
people of the state had never heard
of him, although he had been active
in the Equity Exchange for num-
Der of years and had served in the
House and Senate Of the Minnesota
Legislature from Meeker county for
some time.
His actual strength as vote-get-
ter was demonstrated to some ex-
tent when he came within 400 of de-
feating Governor Preus last fall I.
He made this showing in spite of the
fact that his party absolutely neg
lected his candidacy and devoted all
its energy to the. election Of Henrik
Shipstead over United States Sena-
tor kellogg. The weakness of the gov
ernor with the people was response

first chapter of his report to the sec
rotary of war, published in 1855,
deals with his journey through the
wilderness Of western Minnesota. It
is accompanied by some interesting IL
lustrations-for example, one Of
st. Paul in 1853 and another of
Minnehaha or Browns Falls. Stevens
later became governor of Washington
Territory.
Thus in the early fiifties begin
nigs were made which on the one
had led to the building of steel high
ways connecting Minnesota with east
ern markets and on the other resulted
in the linking of the state with the
great undevelcped region to the west.

to do everything that he could ia
aid and assist the men who "had
fought for him" during the World
War. In his Armistice Day talk
Senator Johnson said that he had
not been in favor of the League OF
Nations and the late President Hard
ing's World Court plan, but that
some plan must be invented to stop
war and bring universal peace.
Senator Johnson is stronger with
the people of Minnesota today, decid-
eddy, than when he was elected in
July, and if the election were held
tomorrow he would be elected over
any man in Minnesota for the full
six year senatorial term.

WANING YEAR FINDS
BUSINESS FINANCIAL
LEADERS CHEERFUL

New york, Dec 30.-By 4. p
AS the year ends, sentiment among
business and financial leaders Is
cheerful, despite the fact that de-
velopmcnts within the last twelve
months have been somewhat dis
appointing.
Remarkably strong buying carly
in the year reached a climax in the
spring Since then production has
fallen off slowly and forward buying
has been suspended. The price ad-
YanceS and wage increases OF the
spring served to revive memories oil
1920. A wave of caution and con-
servatism spread over the country.
Speculative positions were reduced
and hand to-mouth buying became
the rule. In a word the country ex-
perienced a mild slackcning in acti-
witty after an upward movement
which lasted for abouttwo years.
Bankers regard recession of this
kind as preferable to a sharp down
ward movement which follows a
crisis, and emphasized the favorable
aspects of the existing situation.
Employment is high, stocks of
goods are moderate, credit is plcnti-
full and speculative positions are
small. Maintenance of a high rate
of activity in the building industry
is expected.

With regard to the foreign situa-

the Ruhr is credited with having
dislocated European business and
with having slowed down internal
tional trade. Most of the foreign
exchanges have deprecated.
