Press, has resigned as republican
elector from Minnesota because he
felt that he could not vote for Taft

The Bird Island Union is worrying
about results of the state primary
this fall. It believes that there will
be a large number of voters who will
be unable to comprehend the ballot
and will not vote on that account.

people will be willing to go back to
the old system in this state.

The Benson Automobile Club ex
pects to make a run from their city

interesting by the Indian massacre
fifty years ago. It is expected there
will be about 50 to 60 cars and from

The Morris papers are recklessly
offering to bet money that their re
spective subscription lists are the
.largest. The Sun has offered $100
and the Tribune $25. There ought
to be very little difficulty in settling
a dispute like that. At the Tribune
office any advertiser is perfectly wel
come to come in any time and check
over the list of subscribeis. Anyone
soliciting advertising and making
false claims as to circulation is ob
taining money under false pretenses
and can be prosecuted for so doing.

mand Steve was unable to get this
supply before. If you get a new

the new John Deere.

GREEN SOAP
Simply Cannot Hurt

HIE CAUSTIC SODA A N
the rosin and the minerals in
hard cake soaps ruin your fabrics
and crack your hands. They
are used by American soap-
makers simply because American soap
makers have never known how to make
soap without using them. We went to the
old Country for our Chief Chemist—to
the one and only family in the world that
could supply us with that one right form
ula. That is why Genuine Old Country
Green Soap is best for every household
use.
Many of you remember the green soft
soap that you used in the Old Country.
All of you have probably heard of it.
Genuine Old Country Green Soap is it.
"Old Country" is nothing but pure
vegetable oils made into soap by the best
grade of electrolytic potash. Because of
its purity it gains in strength.
It is "The Wizard Soap of the world,"
the only ALL-purpose household cleaner.
You want these statements
to prove true. Using is be
lieving. Try Genuine Old
Country Green Soap today
—your grocer has it. Get
at least a 2-lb. can for a test.
After that you'll buy it as
suits you best in cans or
pails up to 25 lbs.
10 cents the lb. and less.
