The transformations that take place In a name as it passes through differ ent languages can only be accounted for by carelessness in transmission. One would scarcely expect the name of Emeric, the name of a pious Hun garian prince of the eleventh century, who was made a saint, to take the form of Amerigo in Italian and of Amory and Emery in English. The name in German, but little changed from the original, is Emmerich. This obscure Hungarian saint has been a person of consequence In this world, for from his name has come that of this great continent. In the fifteenth century, in the Italian form of Ameri go, It was bestowed upon an Italian navigator surnamed Vespucci, and this continent, by a still further mutilation of the name, came to be known as America. When King Stephen of Hun gary was choosing a name for his son he could scarcely have imagined that the name chosen was to be the parent of the word America and that poor old Christopher Columbus was thereby to be despoiled of a recognition that is far from being compensated for by the term Columbia.—Indianapolis News.

Pain and a tight feeling in the chesjt are greatly relieved by an 4 4 application of {turpentine—spirits of turpentine—a few drops sprin kled on a piece of hot flannel which has been wrung out of hot water. It is difficult, how ever, to wring flannel out of boiling water without scalding the fingers. The best plan, therefore, is to hold the flannel by the corner, drain for an in stant, then put it in a towel lengthwise. Take each end of the towel in the hands and twist in opposite directions. This will wring the flannel almost dry. yet leave it very warm. The turpentine application is also an excellent remedy 'or pain in the abdomen, especially the 4 colicky kino! of yaln caused by 4 catching cold. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 WILLMAR TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1917 Eggs, per dozen 36c Dairy butter, per lb 33c Potatoes, per bu 2.25 Onions, per lb 5c Cabbage, per lb 7c Beans, per lb 13c POULTRY, LIVE Spring chicks .*. 12c Chickens, old 8 to 10c Turkeys 14-18c Ducks 10c Geese 9c LIVE 8TOCK MARKET Hogs, live 10.20-10.40 Lambs 10.00 Sheep 6.00-7.00 Beef cattle 5.00-7.00 Steers 6.00-7.50 Hides 13c DOVRE.

The first of the new fifty cent piec es and quarters made their appear ance in this city, the latter part of last week. Hans Gebhauer who was city engi neer at Canby, Minn., disappeared several weeks ago, and nothing has been heard of him since. The Litchfield News-Ledger truth fully says the reason so many boys leave their farm is because, "Willie's calf often grows up to be Pa's cow." The Morton Enterprise and Frank lin Tribune will hereafter be publish ed under one management. This will enable the publishers to curtail ex penses and give better service. The Waverly Star and-Tribune, re cently wiped out by the disastrous fire at that place, is again in the run ning. A new plant has been purchas ed and the paper will continue to be published regularly. A unique record which should go a long ways towards dispelling the mod ern theory of the high cost of living has been established by Rev. A. J. Lee, manager of the Glenwood Old People's Home during the past year. Another "meanest man" has been discovered—the LaPlata, Mo. Repub lican, says: "The meanest man in the state is that southern Missouri man who sharpened all the stumps on his farm to prevent the hired man from sitting down to rest." The Co-operative Store at Madison, Minn., was closed last week. The In dependent Press of that city remarks that "correct business management and about $500 per year spent in ju dicious advertising would have made the store a financial success." Nels A. Hagen of Granite Falls', a shoemaker, took his own life last week, in a Pipestone hotel. The cause of the terrible deed will never be known. He was a man of exemplary habits. Since his wife died a year ago, he had been heard to remark that life was not worth living alone. This being the time of year most home merchants figure there will be no business anyway, and don't adver tise their wares, is just the time the big mail order houses redouble their efforts along that line with the result that they are the ones who clean up the profit in the so-called dull season. A yield of 123.96 bushels of shelled corn from a single acre won the 1916 corn growing championship of Min nesota for Verne Johnson, the 15 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Julius John son of Cokato. Competition was par ticularly keen last year, there being several thousand boys competing. The winner gets a free trip to the 1917 fair and the prize of $25. The story which went the rounds of the press in this community some time ago regarding the farmer near South Haven who fired a shot in the air to frighten a chicken thief, and then found a man dead near his1 barn the next morning, has been branded as a myth, pure and simple. The editor of the South Haven Leader opines that some one must have taken a drink out of the wrong bottle.
