A TALK WITH A
GRAND RAPIDS MAN
Mr. Milaney Tells Something of In
terest to Grand Rapids Folks.
There’s nothing more convincing
than the statement of someone you
know and have confidence in. That’s
why this talk with Mr. Milaney, cor
ner Kindred and Ninth street, should
be mighty helpful here in Grand Rap
ids:
Chas. Milaney, retired farmer, cor
ner Kindred and Ninth streets, Grand
Rapids, says: “I had kidney trouble
so bad, I had to get up often nights
to pass the secretions which contain
ed sediment like brick-dust. I nearly
fell with dizziness and felt miserable
all over. Doan’s Pills proved a won
derful remedy in my case.”
Five years later, Mr. Milaney said:
“I confirm my former statement rec
ommending Doan’s. They certainly
helped me.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills — the same that Mr
Milaney had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

the cases is as though there never
had been an arrest by Keewatin po
lice. Thie dismissal of these cases
came on Monday, after a large num
ber of witnesses for both parties had

company against A. Gamache and
wife, to collect payment for a power
washing machine. The jury found

Conventions for Hibbing.
Hibbing Trbiune: Hibbing will be
the convention city this summer with
two big state conventions booked and
numerous auto caravan trips from
different states planned to visit the
iron ore fields and the scenic beauties
of the Arrowhead region. The state
labor convention will bring to Hib
bing, more than 2,500 labor delegates
and members of various labor unions
will be visiting Hibbing for the sec
ond time within a period of 12 years.
The sessions will be held at the
Memorial building.. Hibbing is the
only city in the state to entertain the
labor delegates at a state conven
tion twice in a dozen years. Ela
borate entertainment is being plan
ned with a gigantic street parade one
of the features. The Spanish war
veterans who hold their encampment
in June will be the second state con
vention to be held in Hibbing and will
attract more than 1,000 members of
that soldier organization. The mu
nicipality, local clubs and soldier or
ganizations will play the part of
hosts.
Hibbing will be the Mecca for more
than a half dozen automobile tours:
They are:
Palm to Pines trip of Florida
boosters to northern Minnesota
pines. c
California “back home boost
ers” visiting the range.
Winnipeg boosters trip to the
range.
These automobile caravans will
make Hibbing their night patrol and
will be entertained while here by the
Commercial club. Milwaukee boost
ers coming to Duluth by boat plan a
stop-over rail and bus trip to the
range country.
Now, What Next?
Litchfield Independent: It is one d—
thing after another. The dairymen
worked two years to get the butter
tariff raised from 8 to 12 cents, and
finally got the project through a week
or ten days ago. Now the European
who wants to furnish butter to Ameri
ca figures sending it in the shape of
cream, which carries a duty of 20
cents per gallon for 40 per cent cream.
As a quart of such cream will make a
pound of butter the wily foreigner is
getting his butter in for 5 cents per
pound duty. The churning is done
here.
State Road Improvement.
Blackduck American: Included in a
number of road contracts approved by
the state highway commission on

strike, a distance of 4.3 miles. The
contract price as announced is $36,871.
The contract for the construction of
this road was awarded to a Minne
apolis firm, Nelson, Mullen & Nelson.
The new road will mean the shorten
ing of the distance between Hines
and Tenstrike and the elimination of
the sink hole which has made the
road difficult to traverse in the past.

Get Your Cheap Explosives.
If you are going to need explosives
for land-clearing this spring, get your
order in now to Farm bureau head
quarters. We can still get you some
of the cheap pyrotol, not out of the
car( which has already come in and
been distributed) but out of some
small shipments which we can get in
by local freight, at a few cents
higher cost. Cap and fuse orders can
be left at your Farm Burean unit
meeting or with one of your Farm
Bureau unit officers.
Use Home Grown Seed Grains.
There is a lot of excellent seed
grains of the different varieties of
oats, barley and even of a few other
grains in smaller amounts, in this
county, which when properly cleaned
up and fanned, will make just as good
seed as the seed houses put out. The
Farm bureau, in their seed pool, is
pushing the sale of entirely locally
grown seed oats, also some barley. If
you need seed oats and do not know
a neighbor who has some good clean
seed for sale, come in or write the
county agent and he will put you in
touch with a farmer who has the
kind of oats you want, or barley, if
you want that. Do not forget to
sow’ some alfalfa this year. We will
be glad to help you with this.
Get those Farm bureau member
ships all rounded up in your unit. Re
member we wrant to reach the goal
by the end of March.
Seven new units gotten under w r ay
since the first of the year, organized
or re-organized, with a strong mem
bership from each—the Farm bureau
is still growing, yes, growing faster
than it has ever before, with a good
healthy growth founded on a solid
foundation of faith in the organiza
tion and a real feeling of need for it.
Start That Home Orchard.
The nursery stock pool will
be held open for a week or two
yet to enable anyone who has not
been able to get his order in yet,
to still get the benefit of this
help. Rush your orders in, through
your unit as much as possible. Ap

Carloads of Lime for Alfalfa Fields.
A carload of lime has been order
ed for shipment to the Trout Lake
Farm bureau unit, for application on
the alfalfa fields to be started in that
neighborhood, a forty ton car. We are
taking orders for cars to be de
livered at Grand Rapids, the cost of
which will be something over $3 per
ton and anyone desiring some of this
should get their order in at once.
Marl is to be found in nearly all pai’ts
of the county and this is just as good
for sweetening the sour soil as lime,
if plenty is applied. Use marl or
limestone or w r ood ashes if your
alfalfa ground is sour. We will be
glad to test it for you, if you will
bring or send in samples.
EGG PRODUCTION.
A w’ell mated breeding pen as the
source of the 1926 hatching eggs is
one of the best ways of improving
the farm poultry flock. The individ
ual hens in the pen should be the
most vigorous hens of the flock, they
should conform as nearly as possible
to the standards of their breed, and
they should be good egg producers.
The male bird with the pen should
be a better individual than the hens,
should come from hens that are
known to be high egg producers, and
should not be too closely related to
the hens in his pen. Above all things,
he should be full of vim, vigor and
vitality. Farm men and women who
have ranked high in the accredited
farm flock project of the agricultural
extension service have followed this
practice for the past four years and
some of them have built up the aver-

MINNESOTA RAIL BOARD
REFUSES RATE INCREASE
Lashing out at the Interstate Com
merce commission for creation, by
the Watertown and Fargo decisions
of “vicious and unjust discrimina
tion” in Minnesota railroad rates, the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
commission has refused to grant ap
plications of nine railroads for rate
increases.
The increases asked would have
removed the discrimination by raising
other rates throughout the state to
parallel those created by the Inter
state Commerce commission in the
Fargo and Watertown decisions.
Resents Coercion.
The state commission in its order
announces that it “cannot be coerced
into any surrender of state sovereign
ty,” assails the decisions of the In
terstate Commerce commission as be
ing made in violation of state rights
previously upheld by the United
States Supreme court, and charges
that the Fargo and Watertown de
cisions were made without regard to
practice or standards of the state
commission in rate-fixing and with
out a hearing at which the state could
present its side of the case.
Nine Carriers Represented.
The applications, which were dis
missed by the order, were made by
nine railroads operating in the state.
They were the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern, the St. Paul road, the
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie, the Minneapolis and St. Louis,
the Minnesota and International, the
Chicago and North Western, the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific and the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha roads.
Under the Fargo and Watertown
decisions, the railroads now charge
rates from jobbing points in Minne
sota to all stations within 150 miles
of Fargo and Watertown which make
competitive sale and shipment by
Minnesota jobbers to those points im
possible because of the lower rates
from Fargo and Watertown.
