T h e J o u r n a l is the only paper, not only In the United States , but In the world that possesses a juvenile department like The Journal Junior. Other papers have stories for children, pictures f6r chlfdren, and other features for children. The dne thing that s e t s The Journal Junior In a class by Itself Is that the greater part of the space [s se t aside for work by child­ren, directed Intelligently along practical lines. That it has been recognized a s § great power In the development of Eng­lish in the public schools In the northwest Is proven by unsolicited commendat ions from the most prominent educators In the west , who have become familiar with Its workings . Children are eager for "composition day" to come. "Teacher" no longer finds It hard to train them In "English as she Is spoke " The recogni­tion given to their efforts, or the hope tha t they may gain recognition in T h e Journal Junior Is enough to sharpen their minds and above all, g ive them a prac­tical object lesson In the value of being able to write well.

The papers come In each week by the hundreds The Journal Junior mall on several days a week Is one of the heaviest In the office. A conservative es t imate of the number of papers received each week from both Minneapolis and Northweatern Juniors during -the school term, is 2,000 During the summer vacation It Is sl ightly less .

Every one of these papers is read before being rejected. This work alone is enough to keep one person busy every day of the week In addition, there are the other de­partments to be kept up, correspondence and business in general to be attended to , miscel lany to be selected and prepared, special articles planned for—In short. The Journal Junior is a busy proposition from start to finish.

Journal Junior artists also receive recog­nition In the advertising department. Ad­vertisers have quickly recognized the value of having advert isements designed for them by Journal Junior art ists , the benefit working both w a y s . They receive unique advertising, and the Journal Junior designers gain experience In using their ta lents along practical lines.

The Journal Junior Is practical from start to finish, and one of Its strong points Is that It offers a definite goal for the use of school training that too often s eems to children to have no special reason for be­ing In their curriculum.

H o m e i s where you* wi fe i l l fFec^&es Judge Lochren of the> federal distrlct'teourt in the -bankruptcy case of James MeNair This bankrupt, doing bus iness a t B e ­midji, Minn , claimedv a s h i s b.6roestead there and exempt from- l e v y by h i s cred­itors, the one story bWck store where h e used to sleep and "keep his- wardrobe ' But, a s he admit ted on examinat ion here before O C Merrlman, referee In bank­ruptcy, h is family, consist ing of his wife and four children, had continued to occu­py, w i th his consent, in Minneapolis, a dwell ing owned by his wife

The contention that the Bemidji store w a s the bankrupt's legal domicile, h is homestead, and, therefore exempt, w a s allow ed by the referee In h i s report t o the court

But Judge Lochren, reversing the ref­eree, pointed out that, acocrdlng to W e b ­ster, a homestead is a "dwelling," and that the bankruptcy law (section 5521) refers to a * dwell ing house " Yet the fatct that the greater portion of the Bemidji house w a s used a s a store would not have prevented the building from being the bankrupt's dwell ing in a legal sense, had his wife and children not lved perma-nenly, w i th h i s consent, a t Minneapolis

Nei ther w a s the case affected by the a s ­surance that the bankrupt voted in B e ­midji "If he-did so he Violated the law "

Referee Merrlman w a s specially t o u c h e d by one phase of the argument The cred­itors' attorney Insisted that the bankrupt had resided in Minneapolis and that he w a s merely "cemmorant of B e m i d j i " "And, of course, if he really was , ' said Mr Merrlman to -day , "that m a k e s all the difference In the world."

TWO BELATED PEECINCTS

Foster's Friends Say They Give Jlim a Lead.

Friends of A. F Foster believe that a recount would g ive h im the republican nomination for congress in the s ix th d i s ­trict Two precincts, one in Todd coun­ty and one in Wadena, failed to make re­turns to the county auditor of the vote on congressman In these t w o precincts Foster got 40 votes more than Buckman Unless the lat ter made ga ins on the re ­count in other localities, Fos ter would be the nominee by ten votes

Secretary of State Hanson received Mr Foster s formal notice of contest th is morning It said

"Within the five days from the com­pletion of the canvass of the votes by the s tate canvass ing board, al lowed by law for that purpose, t h e proper legal pa­pers will be served on you, and y o u are further notified not to take a n y steps or do any ac t s in the mat ter of the nomina­tion of C B B u c k m a n until after the ex ­piration of the five days al lowed by law in which to commence contest proceed­ings "

Mr Hanson said this morning that he would take notice of the protest and would hold Mr B u c k m a n s certificate of- nomina­tion for the present

If the persuasions of the republican s tate committee succeed, A F Foster •« ill wi thdraw his contebt, and give C B B u c k m a n a free field for the s ix th d i s ­trict republican nomination

INVESTIGATING REV. J.A.WARD

An Iowa M. E. Conference Is Look-^ ing Up His Record.

For a m a n w h o s e chief characterist ic w a s h is extremely mild manners and seeming lack of self assertion.

From Minneapolis Mr Ward w e n t to N e w York where or a t ime he w a s con­nected w i t h a church H i s first exploit w a s the rescue of a weal thy Gothanite from foot pads which brought him prom­inently before the public and secured for his church a handsome sta ined g lass w i n ­dow from the grateful c i t izen Later Mr Ward studied osteopathy and finally evolved an original s y s t e m of heal ing wi th such a queer name and peculiar theories tha t he w a s aga in sensational ly exploited In the N e w York dailies This advert is ing brought h im a n apparently aristocratic cl ientele for .Mr Ward next broke into the papers as plaintiff in*a sui t aga ins t a Mrs Havemeyer to collect fees In the trial h is patient s e t up the claim that she w a s to receive treatment free In consider­ation of "talking up" the healer, and her at torneys ridiculed his theories which were defended rather clumsily It is b e -Uved that the- prominence g iven to Mr Ward in this c a s e is responsible for the conference invest igat ion \ •*

DODDS SOT NOTIFIED Presiding Elder Does Not Expect

Trial by His Church for Breach of Promise.

He Was Engaged to a Minneapolis Lady, but They Parted by

Mutual Agreement.

Special to The Journal Crookston, Minn , Sept 27 —Dr Lafay

e t te Dodds, presiding elder of the Crooks ton district of the M E3 church, is a t his home in this c i ty rest ing before the s e s ­sion of the annual conference which he will a t tend nex t week H e has received no notice of any intention to bring before that body charges in a breach of promise case .

A s to the foundation for such a n a c ­cusat ion the fact i s that Dr Dodds w a s at one t ime engaged to a young lady of Min neapolis After the death of the mother of h is children, somo four years ago, family of boys w a s left alone during h is frequent and continued absences and a mutual friend brought the two together, T h i s w a s ln February, 1901

The acquaintance, though casual, result­ed after a few meet ings in a n agreement to marry and the lady closed out a dress­making business in Minneapolis and made preparations for the event Late in the year she w e n t to Iowa on a vis i t and twice in October of last year she failed to meet the doctor for the purpose of having the ceremony performed, al though she had left the date for h im to fix, the fall ure on her part being to carry out a de­sire for a longer vis i t

On more mature acquaintance i t became apparent to both that certain lncompat abil it ies of belief and family feel ing made it best that the marriage agreement should be nullified and this w a s done, Dr Dodds bearing the expense of the prepara­t ion of the trousseau The parting w a s fully understood and mutually agreeable

Dr Dodds has recently married an e s ­timable ladv and has the confidence of the people here and of the churches under his charge

ThreeBirds With OaeStone In December, '77, a certain young mart made a n inves t ­

ment by which he hoped to at ta in three things* First , he wished to place a pressure upon himself s o that

he would save a certain s u m every year. H e realized the weakness of human nature and the need of protecting h i m ­self against himself.

Second, he wished a n absolutely safe and remunerative investment for the amount which he saved.

Third, he wished to protect h is family in event of hi* death

All three objects h e secured by taking a $10,000 twenty -four-year endowment policy in the S T A T E M U ' l o — . L I F E of WORCESTER, MASS H o w wise h is decision proved i» shown by the record of the policy, wh ich matured in 1001.

Gross cost , 24 premiums of $387 e a c h . . . $9,288 00 j L e s s 24 annual dividends amount ing t o . . 2,32850

N e t cost $6,959.60 H e received in December, 1901 10,000.00

Profit $3,04050

Such a result requires no comment . The three objects were secured ln the best possible way. The m a n c o n ­tracted to save nearly $300 a year T h a i amount w a s i n ­vested a t as . good a rate of interest a s he would have r e ­ceived in a sav ings bank And during the entire t w e n t y -four y e a i s h is family received Insurance protection of $10,000.
