OUR THIN AIR ENVELOPE.
The atmosphere of the earth
extends upward but forty
miles, less compartively than
the paint on a large globe, and
of that only three miles is
sufficient to support life. It
is wonderful that nature so
provides that no disturbance
ever sweepsaway this thin envelope even for a second, if it
did there would be disaster.
Pure air and pure water are
our greatest essentials, and
they are found in their perfection in the manufacture of
golden grain belt beers,
bottled especially for the table. Secure vour supply from

"I have sold a half a million
acres of land during mv eight
years in office, vet the state
has now more than when I
came into office," said Auditor S. G. Iverson the other
day in discussing state land
matters.
"The state owns approximately 3,000,000 acres todav.
I expect to sell another half
million during the remaining
four years of my term, yet,
the state will have just as
much land when I quit as
now."
Mr. Iverson explained that
the federal government from
time to time is patenting to
the state tracts of swamp land
that were given to the state wi
the original grants. There
are between 600,000 and 700,-
000 acres of this land left,
but Mr. Iverson hopes to have
most of it surveved and patented to the state during his
present term.
"The state now has a school
fund of $25,000,000, increasing at the rate of $1,500,000 a
year, and paying the state 4
per cent, or about $1,000,00(1,
a year. This I think is sufficient answer to any criticism that have been made of
the state land laws or the system of selling state land.
But if those who criticise our
present system can propose a
better one; let them come forward with it."—Transcript.

HORRIBLE MURDER
ATJRAINERD
Finn Chokes, kicks and  Pounds to
Death a Seven Year Old
Boy
Erlck Maki, a Finn. 30 yearn
old, living in Southeast Brainerd, Thursday evening at six o,j
clock, first choked into ins.
bllity,    and    then    kicked  and
pounded to death, a seven year
old boy,   named   Earl Pokkila.
The Brainerd Tribune says:
It seems that Maki tni*sed his
pOCket knife, which he had
brought from Finland, and accused the boy of taking- it. This
is said to have been the cause
of all the trouble.The little fellow stoutly maintained his innocence, and Maki, in a rage,
knocked lllm down, seized him
by the throat and strangled him
to death, beating* and kicking
him in the meanwhile. The little fellow's chest is crushed
in where the tiend pinned him
down with his knees. Marks*
left by tile brute's fingers are
on the tiny throat. The littl-
body and limbs are a mass o\
ugly sores and bruises wherj
the monster jumped on
With both feet and stamped his*
little life out of him. Further
more, It i* said that after choking and stamping him to death
in this inhuman manner, the
murderer seized the lifeless-
body by one leg and dragging
it into the Finn bath house near
by, slung it around and beat it
against the walls of the house,
where it was later found, mutilated almost beyond recognition
a crumpled mass of flesh and
bones, lying in pools of blood.

Farmers Slung on  Grocery Orders
Again have some of our
trustful farmers been the victims of confidence men. This
time on grocery commodities
on which big savings were to
be realized by the farmer*
if they have big orders and
paid in advance for the goods
which were to be delivered at
this station    in   thirty   days.
The agents of a Chicago
grocery house made their visit thru Elm Dale and Swan
River some two months ago
and booked orders aggregating
a few hundred dollars, but
none of the commodities have
been shipped tc this point and
just another lesson has been
learned, "That the proper
place to do your trading is at
the town in which you sell
your farm products." "No
such business house in Chicago" is the notation made on a
letter addresed by a local man
to the supposed existing grocery house for a farmer,prodding them to hurry about
shipping the goods.—Herald

the new German appendicitis
remedy.
