AID OUT OF SORTS?
So Was This Ellsworth woman
Who Tells Her Experience.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural 10 their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy
spells and that tired, depressed feel
ing. Thousands have found new
health and strength by helping the
weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills
"a stimulant diuretic. This ELS
worth case is one of many:

ache in the small of my back and at
times, felt as though l couldn't fin

aches and dizzy spells when black
spots floated before my eyes and |

drowsy and felt all out of sorts, too.

his proficiency in making snowshoes,
he has built up quite an industry
with his handiwork At this time,
when one hears so much about
"Maine-made products" the results
of this mans industry should have
some publicity. Among his exhibits
are cunning little boxes, pin trays,
necktie racks, picture frames, spoons
and forks and contrivance for turn

LEACH OUT OF LUCK

In filing for governor, Mayor Geo
Leach of Minneapolis may actually
entertain the idea that he can win the
nomination in a contest with the
man now holding the office and seek
ing a second term, but we doubt it.
His main purpose apparently is to
keep the Leach name before the pub
lie and to be in line for 1923, at which
time he assumes Governor Christian
son will be a candidate for the United
States senate.
At that the Leach forces can be de-
pended upon to wage an aggressive
campaign. Every disgruntled office
holder and disappointed officeseekeI
will naturally rally to the Leach ban
ner.
In filing for governor Mr.. Leach de-
clared for economy with a soul in it. ,
Until he elucidates further on this
statement it is difficult to imagine
just what brand Of economy he has in
mind as this is the first intimation
most folks have had that economy
could qualify for the spiritual realm
Minnesota voters are more than
likely to endorse the Theodore Chris
Hanson brand of economy-heartless

that the courts will be called on to

Upon the application Of County At

Gent unexempt property of William
Cook of Mulligan township to sat-

William Cook who had entered
plea of guilty to the charge of selling
intoxicating liquors contrary to the
statute in such case made and pro-
vided, was arraigned before Judge
Olsen, December 8, 1925, and sent
enced to Imprisonment of 60 days and
to pay a fine of 5000. In case the
fine was not paid, the sentence di-
rected that Cook be continued an in
mate in the county Jail until the fine
was paid for a period not exceeding
az additional 60 days.
Cooks County Jail sentence expir-
ed on February 5th and he decided
to not pay the fine and remain in Jail
for another 60 days at which time he
would be discharged under the pro-
cess of law. County Attorney Stress
guth tried to get Cook to pay the
fine, but Cook decided that he could
not earn 500 a month easier than
by staying in Jail.
According to an opinion handed
down by the Attorney Generals of
flee, the additional sentence imposed
is to be considered more of lever
age than anything else to induce the
defendant to pay the fine and that
even remaining in Jail for the time
specified in the sentence, this in it
self would not pay the fine and that
it could even then be enforced against
t the defendant, if he had property
which could be reached on execution.
With this opinion in mind, Stress
guth made application to the Court
for an order directing the issuance of
an execution which was granted. The
execution had been issued and placed
in the hands of Sheriff Julius and he

A FORWARD STEP

The Minnesota Editorial associa-
ton took forward step in connection
with the annual meeting held recent
ly in Minneapolis. The form of the
association was changed so as to in
clude a field secretary, which the as
ISOLATION went on record as favOring.
Beginning with 1927 all members of
the association will pay toward the
support of a field secretary. Only
owners and publishers OF papers will
be active members. Employees, pa
per supply men and others connected
with the printing business will be as
sociate members.
The dues of the association men,
bers will be placed on a basis of cir
culation and will be 81 per hundred
with $50 as a maximum.
The Minnesota Editorial association
has been in existance for many years
and it has been great source of help
and inspiration to the editors Of the
state. 1t has been an organization
more of fraternal nature where mat
tiers of Importance to the fourth
estate have been discussed, and a
social time has taken prominent
place. Now the editors are going to
make a real business organization of
their association.
Minnesota editors have long need
ed an executive to function for them.
They need a man to act for them in
business relations. 1t is important
to have a man who can attend meet
ings of various kinds in different
parts of the state to form contract
with merchants and other organiZa-
tions.
The Minnesota editors need a con-
tract man to supply information want
ed by advertising agencies, political
campaign managers and business es-
Establishments, regarding the newspa-
pers of the state. The editors need
man to collect information, to es-
dred and one things which are either
not done now or should be done.
The real test for Minnesota editors
will come next spring. Do they want
a debating and social organization or
will they support business organiza
ton with an all-time executive con-
stantly on duty to protect and advance
the interest of the newspapers of Min
nesota.-St. James Plaindealer.

NOONAN IN FLORIDA

If you're not too tired, put on your
summer clothes and accompany the
writer and Billy Zippel on little trip
through Florida. If you are living
on a homestead in northern Mime
sofa it looks nice to easy to go down
to Florida and grow oranges and be-
come wealthy, so let's grow oranges.
Before harvesting crop Of them
let us hear what a wellknown vaude-
vile comedian, Will Cressy has to say
about it:
"By searching diligently one can
generally find a real estate agent
who will under persuasion, sell you
an orange tract for $500 to $500 an
acre. For $125 the land can be
cleared. You will obtain about $500
worth of wood and lumber from each
acre. But as nobody will buy it, you
have to pay-to have it burned up.
"You then buy your trees. These
trees are about the size of slate pen
Gil and cost $1.25 each. They run
about 125 to the acre. Your tract is
now planted. And all you have to
do the next six years it to water them
and squirt expensive prescriptions on
them and fertilize them with other
expensive compounds.
cat the end of the six years your
trees are bearing fruit. And you en-
gage some fruit packing concern to
pick, pack and sell them for you. Then
you get a statement from the con-
Germ tell how much of balance you
still owe them"
It's overdrawn of course, but new
ertheless there is enough truth sand
wiched in to show you that the grow
ing of oranges is not all one glad
sweet song and for the man of mod
crate means it is no rosy road to
wealth.
But Mr.. Greasy also pays Florida
few compliments. For instance,
he says: "The fish bite so voracious-
ly in Florida that you have to mark
your bait poison to keep the fish
from climbing into the boat after 1t. y

and specifications of their own to
market, he continued, render no SER
vice and are not likely to be taken
seriously by those who take the
trouble to acquaint themselves with
the facts.
In discussing the teacher situation
of the state which, he said, is on a
higher plane than during the war, he
pointed out that Minnesota could
readily adopt the slogan: "Fewer
Teachers and Better Teachers"
He pointed out that there are in
round numbers $500 teachers in-one-
roomed schools enrolling 10000 pu-
pills. Of these one-roomed schools
! there were in 1925, 581 that enrolled
fewer than ten pupils. In 1915 there
were Alb. In 1925 there are in adj
dition 2,471 more enrolling fewer than

THAT these small schools are like
ly to be inefficient may be accepted.
That the cost is away out of proper
ton to the service rendered is OBJ
vious. Some of these institutions
must remain for some time, because
of sparse population and undevelop-
ed roads. Many Of them could be
cured. Most of them could be help
ed. Clearly, we have before US a
problem in efficiency and economy
which must be solved mainly by those
who are directly affected by it."
