MINNESOTA SOIL
GOOD FOR TOBACCO
Wisconsin Buyers Pick Up All  Of
Sherburne's Crops at Good
Figures
St.ClOud Minn., Des. 6— The adap
tability of central Minnesota soil to tobacco is shown by a large display of
the weed in the specimen cases of the
Farmers' State Bank. The tobacco was
raised on the reformatory farm and on
the farm of residents of Clear Lake
and Palmer, in Sherburne county.
Charles Lien has been sent to Sherburne county to conduct an experimental farm for the state to determine
what varieties of tobacco thrive best
in the soil of this vicinity. The samples on display are Connecticut, Havana and Spanish Comstock.
Those who have raised tobacco in
Sherburne county have found it profitable. The sales average $100 an acre.
Its cultivation is not difficult, and it
demands but little more care than cabbage.
Representatives of Wisconsin tobacco houses have purchased the entire
crop hereabout at liberal figures. The
quality of the Sherburne county tobacco Is said to rival that of the famed
Connecticut wrapper leaves.
FORTY  NEW TYPEWRITERS IN- Dir DAI II TDV
<J I H LI. Ll/
Transcript; The Little Falls Business College has just received the last
ofthe forty new typewriters purchased
this fall. Of the machines purchased
25 of them are No. 10 Remington and
fifteen are No. 2 L. C. Smiths; all visible of the latest make and model. The
College now owns over seventy-five
machines. About half of them are
used in the school and the others are
rented to students who take them to
their rooms. Mr. Millard says this
home practice is one of the secrets
of the success of Little Falls Business Collgee graduates.
The 35 new commercial desks and
chairs have been received and put in
place; making a total of 125 desks and
chairs of the same pattern. It was
necessary a few weeks ago to advertise
for no more students to come in until
after Thanksgiving, as every desk
was occupied. Indications now point
to every one of the new seats being occupied inside of sixty days.

Lightning Kills Few.
In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. One's
chances of death by lightning are less
than two in a million. The chance of
death from liver, kidney or stomach
trouble is vastly greater, but not if
Electric Bitters be used, as Robert
Medson, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice.
He Was then completely cured by-
Electric Bitters. They're the best
stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only
50c at E. L. Kaliher.
