MANKATO SHORT OF COAL.
Mankato is facing a soft-coal shortage.
The available coal is being divided in
such a way as to keep supplies in the
hospitals, the Normal School dormi
tory and other places that must of
necessity^ heated. The public school
buildings and the Normal school have
been closed for a few days pending the
arrival of cars of coal that are side
tracked in various places on the roads.

TO HAVE VISITING NURSE.
At the monthly meeting of the school
board Monday evening, it was decided
to employ a visiting nurse, and the State
Board of Health will be communicated
with, that the local school authorities
may be placed in communication with
a competent person for the position.
The visiting nurse will also act as a
truant officer for the public and parochial
schools, and will take the school census
of the city.
A committee, consisting of Herman
Held, H. L. Beecher and H. C. Hess was
appointed to appear before the City
Council and demand that only pictures
that have been passed by the National
Board of Censors be allowed to be shown
in the local moving picture houses.
JANUARY WEATHER
Alex L. Henle, local weather observer,
turned out a grade of his product for the
first month of the year that he wont be
able to keep up and get away with it
for very long. The maximum tempera
ture for the month was 40 degrees above
zero on January 10, while the minimum
was 24 degrees below, which occurred
on the 26. The total precipitation was
2.65 inches, and the total snowfall for
the month was 26.50 inches. There
were ten clear days, six partly cloudy
and fifteen cloudy during the month.
The prevailing wind was northwest.
If February keeps up for the balance
of the month as it has started in for the
first six days it will probably keep a
pretty good pace with January's record.
GOVERNMENT WILL OPEN
LANDS FOR SETTLEMENT
Tomorrow, February 8, the Depart
ment of the Interior will open for settle
ment, under the general homestead and
reclamation laws upwards of 4,000 acres
of choice land in the Belle Fourche valley
of South Dakota. This comprises the
fifth unit of this project thus far opened
and is located within a few miles of town
and railroad adjoining lands already
developed by settlers. The usual resi
dence of three years is required and to
all bona fide settlers the Reclamation
Service will furnish water for irrigation
purposes at actual cost without interest
on deferred payments covering 20 years.
The Government regards this opening
as exceptionally good, and because of
present economic conditions and the
high cost of living it is thought there will
be a large influx of homeseekers. As an
evidence of the increased values which
Federal development has given to lands
in this section it is stated that lands
homesteaded in 1912 and valued at that
time at $25 per acre have been sold
recently at $75 and $125 per acre.
BREWING COMPANY MAY
BE DISSOLVED AT ONCE
Judge I. M. Olsen has ordered a hear
ing on the petition for a receiver and dis
solution of the New Ulm Brewing &
Malting Company, for March 3, at 10
o'clock a. m.
A majority of the stockholders of the
company have presented to Judge Olsen
a petition praying for the action, which
contains the information that the com
pany is a losing proposition and that
these stockholders are anxious to close
up the business, pay the debts and dis
solve the corporation. The Hauser &
Sons Malting Company of St. Paul, has
begun foreclosure proceedings against
the real estate of the New Ulm concern.
The New Ulm Brewing & Malting
Company has been in existence for about
ten years, during the first period of
which the business was a paying pro
position, but for the past two or three
years it has been a losing game, and the
shareholders becoming discouraged have
taken action to get out from under.
At the recent annual meeting of the
company the following directors were
elected: John Schneider, Herman Nagel,
Otto "Meyer, Joseph F. Groebner, M. J.
Klinkhammer. The following are the
officers: President, John Schneider vice
president, Herman Nagel treasurer
Otto Meyer secretary, Joseph F. Groeb
ner. Emil Frenzel is acting manager.
BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT
SHOWS IMMENSE GROWTH.
The Boy Scouts of America, were or
ganized seven years ago this week, and
now numbers 200,000 registered scouts.
The organization has grown faster
than any other social welfare movement.
So wisely has this form of boys' organi
zation been worked out, that it fits
all kinds $i boys.
There are Boy Scouts in every country
in Europe, in Japan, China, the Phil
lippines, Austialia, South Africa, India,
Alaska, South America.
The principals of the Scout move
ment are with slight changes in the rules
of government, the same everywhere.
It is a system of ideals and incentives
for right-living worked out in a way
which directs the activities of the boy
to do, not by repressing them.
It is an honor for a boy to belong to
an organization which has the co-opera
tion and support of prominent men
everywhere, and it is a distinct badge of
fellowship with those who stand for
those qualities which make for high
standards of manhood.
The Scout oath is one of the most
dignified and lofty pledgers of conduct
required by any organization in the
world.
In the troop meeting, in camp, or on
the hike the full significance of these
requirements of the law is worked out
for the instruction of the boys in all
the high qualities of conduct.
The object of the Boy Scout move
ment is to bu id character. A healthy
normal boy wants always to be do'ng
something. Turn this excess of energy
and enthusiasm in the direction that
makes him trustworthy, truthful, clean,
courteous., reverent and a great social
problem is solved.
MINNESOTA PRIEST IS
AUTHORITY ON BEE WORK.
The Annual Contention of the Nation
al Beekeepers' Association of America
is to be held Madison, Wisconsin, this
week.
The president of the association is
a Minnesota man, Rev. Francis Jager,
of St. Bonafacious, who is a professor
of bee culture in the University, and
has a private apairy of 400 hives at
his home.
There are 22,000 beekeepers this
state. The surprising growth of the
honey industry in Minnesota and the
Northwest is due largely to his influence.
As a big industry the keening of bees
is just entering upon its possibilities.
It is no longer considered a by-product
of agriculture. Many beekeepers, now
measure their honey crop by the ton
instead of by the pound, and the de
mands of the American honey market
have increased 300 per cent during the
past three years. The sale of comb
honey is decreasing while that of ex
tracted honey is increasing.
People are beginning to realize the
nutritive value of honey. Honey and
milk occupy a unique position in being
the only products of nature which have
no other function than that of food.
The National Beekeepers' Association
is awakening to the necessity of a better
commercial and scientific organization
to protect and develop its interests.
The honey bee is a most wonderful
insect. Its habits stand as a model
for the solution of many perplexing
communal questions.

WONDERFUL1 STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingei
no pain.
No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without a particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a Cin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one's
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the.
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

SUCCESS WROUGHT .,
BY PRINTERS' INK
COUNTRY MERCHANTS BUILD UP
IMMENSE TRADE ALL THRU
ADVERTISING
LITTLE TOWN ATTRACTS CUS-
TOMERS FOR MANY MILES
AROUND
Several weeks ago H. S. Mclntyre,
of Minneapolis, editor of the Twin City
Commercial Bulletin, addressed an
audience of business men, salesman and
saleswomen, on the subject of salesman
ship and advertising, at the New Ulm
Commercial Club, devoting a considera
ble portion of his interesting talk on the
latter subject. Mr. Mclntyre had
gained a lot valuable experience in both
branches of the subject of his lecture,
by building up a large trade in a small
town in this state.
Success In Small Town
Mr. Mclntyre's experience has been
duplicated by a firm in a small Ohio
town and the accomplishments of that
concern was so successful that those
*ho heard the address here by the
Minneapolis man will certainly read
the story with more interest than under
ordinal circumstances.
The village of Strasburg, Ohio, has
one of the biggest country stores in the
country Garver Brothers, general mer
chandise merchants. The business
done by this firm in 1916 totaled $465,
000, although the village has only 1,000
inhabitants.
Can Strasburg, a town of 1000 in
habitants, buried in the heart of a rural
district support such a store? Stras
burg can't and doesn't.
To ring up $465,000 on the Garver
cash register, every man, woman and
child in the village would have to spend
in the store $1.50 a day.
It's the people who live in a 30-mile
radius who make possible the enormous
proportion of Garver Bros.' business.
Canton, a city of 76,000, and Massillion,
of 15,000, are within a this radius.
Why is it, then, so many people who
might just as well patronize Canton and
Massillion stores are convinced Garver
Bros, have just as good quality and
selection of goods at just as reasonable
prices7
G. Albert Garver, the head of the
firm answers: "We advertise."
The store was started by the Garver
boys' father. Twenty-two years ago the
father turned the business over to the
sons, G. Randolph and G. Albert Garver,
to be paid for at the rate of $18 a week
as long as either of the parents lived.
The father's business was just that
of the ordinary country score. An
annual turn-over of $10,000 had been
its peak preformance. The beys strug
gled along a short time, then accident
taught them the great value of adver
tising.
Taught By Accident
A hand printing press and some type
were sent to Rudolph by a friend who
couldn't sell them inv Columbus. Ru
dolph set up a cicular announcing cer
tain alluring propositions the firm had
to offer. There was no newspaper in
Strasburg.
No sooner had the circular been dis
tributed than the stimulus to business
was felt. The next month a second
circular was distributed, then a third
and fourth.
In spite of the prediction of the boys'
father that they would "bust" because
they were spending too much money
for advertising, they showed a gain the
first year, and the business has shown
a gain every year since, except one.
Abvertising thus has become a regular
part of the Garver Bros.' half million
dollars-a year business institution. Of
the big annual appropriation for adver
tising, a huge sum goes to newspapers.
Page advertisements bring results,
G. Alfred says. And every paper
within 16 miles, and some as far away
as 20 and 25 miles are employed. News
paper ads attract to the store scores of
customers even from Canton, 24 miles
away. People living at a distance drive
to the store in rigs and autos to take
advantage of bargains advertised
Ninety per cent of the volume of trade
comes from outside of Strasburg.
Ganver calls his advertising campaigns
the process of fertilization.
"I advertise," he says, "for the same
reason the farmer uses phosphates and
lime. The fertilized sections yield
greater returns. What the farmer calls
the process of cultivation of his crops I
call the giving of "service."
Being Good.
Mary Pickford, the "movie" actress
says: "It is easy for a pretty girl to be
good, if she is rich, but a pretty girl
who is poor has a lot of temptations.
The pretty girl who is poor is a little
bit in the position of the boy in the
grocery shop.
"A grocer leaned over a counter and
yelled at a boy who stood close to an
apple barrel:
"Are you tryin' to steal them apples,
boy?"
"No—no, sir, the boy faltered. I'm
tryin' not to!"
FARM AGENT FOR NICOLLET
M5COUNTY MAY BE RETAINED
v*#1&flS>*«
SW~Ti
The farmers of Nicollet county will
probably retain their farm agent also the
farm bureau, in spite of the fact that the
Board of County Commissioners, at its
annual "meeting refused to make the
necessary appropriation for that pur
pose. The committees that have been
solicting funds to retain the agent have
met with so much encouragement that
they feel there is no doubt whatever in
being able to secure the required amount.
The contributors to the fund are not
in favor of making the agency a "closed
corporation," but the services of the
agent will be for all farmers of the county
whether they have paid anything to
ward his salary or not.
Farmers of that county figure that
this apparently unselfish attitude is
really a selfish one, as the service ren
dered to one farmer will be of benefit
to his neighbor.
N
"Each of us benefits by the success of
his neighbor," said one farmer. We
learn from him when he does well, and
if there is disease in his herd it is com
municated to ours. When the county
agent stops a threatened outbreak of
hog cholera in my neighbor's herd, he
is building a wall of safety around my
herd. If he discovers and destroys a
wicked little parasite in a neighbor's
alfalfa field he benefits me as much as
the neighbor."
HEAVY MEAT EATERS
NAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat lest meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouble—Take
glan of Salts.
No man or woman who eats meat regu
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble
nervousness*, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
•The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

Typewriter Service
in Rural Communities
The typewriter is coming into more extended use in rural com
munities because of the assistance it renders to all classes of
people. Here are a few examples of the possibilities of service:
a Think of the possibilities of selling produce by the means
of typewritten letters sent out to customers? Type
written letters give the sender a business standing with the people who
receive them and also enable the keeping of carbon copies of the correspon
dence, which many times does away with, misunderstandings and lawsuits.
a S to re a More prompt and courteous treat
ment is likely to be accorded his
orders and correspondence with the City jobber and manufacturer if his letters
are typewritten.
It The boy or girl who is intending to follow a business
career can secure no better start than a knowledge of
typewriter operating. Children who learn to use the typewriter learn spelling
at the same time. The hqusewife finds it a great convenience in writing
recipes and for general correspondence.
