A. P. Stoll, t.. has. Gravel, Sr.

b. en duly filed with the secretary of state and the whole
routine of getting the proposition properly before the
village will soon be accomplished.
It is not to be expected that
everv one will think alike with
respect to this matter but it
is the duty of every property
owner a d busintss man to
layasideall hi s and prejudice
and consider seriously whether the propose.! track will be
a b nent to the town or not.
Let no f.ct.onal or sectional
cliff rencesinterferewithyour
judgment in di cidingthis matter. Letus be a unit in work
ing for the upbuildi g of our
little village. — "United we
stan ; divided we fall" is as
applicable to a town as to a
nation
The JOURNAL is not biased
in f.ivor of any section or faction, and while our opinion is
worth no mi re nor less than
that of any ordinary citizen,
we desire to say thai we believe the building of this spur
will be a decided benefit to the
village and if the proposition
is turned down the progress
of the town will be retarded if
not stopped pei manently.
A MOUNTAIN TOLL GATE.
'Ihe people of the rural dis-
t ricts of the United States are
familiar with the toll gate although, in the past few years,
such means of income have
been done away with in the
more thickly settled par's of
the country The toll road
which this article has reference to, is situated in the
midst of th< Rocky mountains.
The keeper of the gate sits
upon the porch • f his small
lug cabin, in close reach of the
line that pobsdown the gate
or bar. When horses approach, he pulls the gate and
toll is required before they
can pass. One could enjoy a
foaming, sparkling glass of
Golden Grain Belt Beer on a
hot fatiguing day. Get a case
for your cellar and serve regularly. Order otour nearest
dealei or be supplied by E. S.
Tanner, Little Falls.

A Standard of Quality
The fact that I sell Selz Shoes is an
evidence to you that the standards of quality in this store are high.
Selz shoes are the best  shoes  made
today; they're garanteed bv the maker to be satisfactory to
the wearer; and I add my guarantee to this.
Not only that; the Selz standard is the standard on everything I sell; and if anybody buys any shoe in this
store that doesn't give complete satisfaction in every respect, whether it's a Selz shoe or any thing else, I want
to know it, and to have a chance to make it right.
Selz shoes are honestly made of the best leather; they're
reliable; they fit and wear well; you can trust in them and
in that name.
Any time you get a »hoe here that
isn't   right,   bring   it back.   I'll
make it right.
