NECROLOGIC

With demands for relief coming iu.at the rate of seventy-five a week, and ,with twenty-five families dependent ujxon them for their sustenance* the Aefee* ciated Charities is financially exhausted.'. Not a cent remains in the visiting nurse, anti-tuberculosis or general funds and the June bills are unpaid.

This announcement was made today by Edwin D. Solenberger, the general manager. The financial committee, con­sisting of John B. Van Derhp, Charles S. PiDsbury, Henry L. Moore, Joseph E. Kingman, George C. Christian, George A. Brackett and Benjamin Woodworth, will meet early next week to consider the situation and issue an appeal for money with which to carry on the work.

*' Two causes have combined to re­duce the association to these s trai ts ," said Mr. Solenberger today. "One is the unusual demand for assistance this summer and the other the numerous demands made upon our regular con­tributors.

Many Oasea to Care For. ' * Sickness has been prevalent, and we

have had many cases to look after. Already the number of families dealt with this month number more than 300. Of these, there are twenty-five in which there is no able-bodied man, which have to receive oontinuous relief. The de­mand for laborers in the harvest fields, which offers relief to some classes of the poor, is of no help here. We have not had a single able-bodied man in our office for three months. Those un­der our care are not able to work and cannot share in the general prosperity.

"On the other hand, those who con­tribute to us have been heavily taxed for other worthy enterprises. The San Francisco relief fund, the G. A. R. fund and the building of several new church­es have cut heavily into our revenue. The people of Minneapolis are as gen­erous as ever, and that is saying much, but they have been called on to con­tribute more than ever.

Few Contributors.

"Unfortunately, our list of sub­scribers is not large. Those who con­tribute are l iberal but they are nu­merically weak. We must take steps at once to enlarge our subscription list, for it is impossible to make repeated appeals to the same persons. This is the problem which the finance commit­tee will take up at its meeting next week. The result o f t h i s meeting prob­ably will be an appeal for funds. Sum­mer is a poor time in which to raise money, as the popular impression is that the poor do not need much care when the weather is warm and work is plenty.

'' Warm weather and work are no aid to the sick, crippled and aged. I t is these people who have exhausted our resources, and unless something is done at once, they will be the ones to suf­f e r . "

CONFERENCE A SUCGESS FIRST WEEK OF FAIR GROUND

The real success of the Grand Army encampment depends on the attitude df the citizens of Minneapolis toward encampment week visitors while they are in the city. This is the statement of Wallace G. Nye, who, as secretary of the public affairs committee of the Com­mercial club, is probably better in­formed in regard to encampment affairs than any other man in Minneapolis.

In discussing the coming encampment Mr. Nye said:

"Citizens of Minneapolis must real­ize that the real success of the encamp­ment is in their hands and not in the hands of any committee or organiza­tion. The committee has arranged meeting places, accommodations, pro­grams, and other routine matters, but the greatest satisfaction to the visitors will come from the patriotic sentiment shown by the people. We must be courteous, give information when it is wanted and decorate our houses and places of business. Nothing counts so much as the way the general public treats the veterans and the effcampment will not be a success unless the general public realizes this fact.

Some Patriotic Duties.

"The tender of rooms for.use during the encampment is another patriotic duty. We hope that people are not renting rooms for the money they will get from the transaction. Booms should be tendered with the ide aof accom-be tendered with the idea of accom-ter of civic pride. The city must be in shape to say: 'Here are good, com­fortable quarters at reasonable rates. Take them if you want them.' ' '

W. H. Bendell, who has just returned from a visit to the convention of the Elks in Denver, is enthusiastic over the welcome extended to the visitors. He was particularly impressed with the way in which nouses and stores were decorated, and he is of the opinion that Minneapolis will have to hurry to dec­orate the city as it should be decorated for the veterans.

Costly or elaborate decorations are not necessary according to members of the decorating committee, but every resident in Minneapolis will be expected to fly the flag from his residence or place of business all thru encampment week.

Call for Commissary.

A circular letter will probable be issued next week to restaurant and pro­vision men calling their attention to the nearness of encampment week and the necessity of making adequate prep­arations for taking care of the hungry visitors. The committee will encourage Organizations or individuals wishing to maintain temporary restaurants during the week, and it is hoped that enough eating places will be established in ad­dition to the regular restaurants to care for all visitors.

Arrangements have been made for a campfire of colored veterans to be held at McKinley hall. Western avenue and Ninth street on Thursday evening, Aug. 16. The committee will also arrange for headquarters for the colored veter­ans thruout the encampment.

Minneapolis will have a phenomenal building record for the month of July. Ordinarily July is a dull month m the

Promotion of new building ventures, ut the present month is one of the

best in the history of the city. The permits up to last night ag­

gregated $1,541,385 with two good days to hear from. Such records at this time of year are wholly unprecedented and the building inspectors' force is more than dazed with the amount of new work piled upon them.

An indication of what the record means is shown by the fact that the biggest previous July was in 1890 when the total permits were $898,000.

The total cost of new buildings for the first seven months of the vear will aggregate more than $5,700,000.

TIONS OF MANAGERS.

State Forestry Commission Would Have Newly Elected Members of Minne­sota Legislature Bound to Aid in Reserve Work, to Preserve Pine and Other Trees.

Thomas H. Shevlin is not a resident of Minneapolis, and has not been since June, 1905. This fact was made known at a meeting of the board of equaliza­tion today in an affidavit by Mr. Shev­lin, accompanying an application for a cancellation or a personal property as­sessment. His permanent residence is at Orono, Lake Minnetonka, and the residence at 129 ,Oak Grove street is oc­cupied only for brief periods ' in the spring and fall. Mr. Shevlin's assess­ment is placed at $214,000 and he asks that the entire amount be canceled, as, he pays personal taxes at Orono. The matter, with many others, was taken under advisement.

Dr. Philip Mueller took exception to having his personal property valuation raised from $230 to $1,395 in one year and avowed that such action was un­just. He would stand an assessment of $1,000, however.

Charles E. Van Barneveld, formerly of Southeast Minneapolis, but no longer a resident of this city, writes from Ocean Park that he has no property assessable as credits and moreover was not, on May 1, a resident of this city.

S. C. Tooker & Co., a corporation, in its statement gave the paid up capital at $15,000, but represented that it was actually worth only $1,648.

The Doard had expected to adjourn today, but the line of citizens who wish to discuss matters of assessment is still undiminished. Hence it will remain in session at least another week, and two, if necessary. I t may be that the board will De obliged to meet right up to the last day of grace, which will be Aug. 14.

General C. C. Andrews, Minnesota forestry commissioner, asks that mem­bers of the next legislature be pledged to forestry. He says:

"About all of the original pine in Minnesota will be cut in the next ten years, after which we shall be depend­ent for lumber on the Pacific coast. While, if fires are prevented, the great­er part of cut-over pine land becomes naturally reforested with various kinds of trees, yet ogly about 20 per cent of it becomes naturally well stocked with pine. Nature must be aided by plant­ing.

"'A large part of our pine lands, especially where pine was mixed with hardwood, will be used for agriculture; but there are in scattered localities 8,000,000 acres of rocky, hilly or sandy hind which should be devoted to for­estry. On such waste land it requires, on an average, about eighty years for pine to grow to merchantable size. Some of this land still belongs to the United States, but would probably be

f ranted to the state by congress for orestry, if our people made an earnest

request. The rest ia owned by private

Earties, from whom it probably could e purchased at a low price. " T h e state now owns 21,000 acres of

forest-reserve land and no more, of which 20,000 acres were donated by congress and 1,000 acres by the late John S. Pillsbury.%. This, if properly developed, would, for our great state, be but a small beginning m forestry. The forestry board wants to plant a portion of -this iand-i with pine and spruce, and .also "flints to make some roads thereon* bu$ •*#; has appealed in vain to the legislature for the necessary money. _ ( ^

' ' Of course the people can "continue to put off this matter. They "can leave to a future generation the honor or do*, ing for forestry what ought to bV!done-j now. 7S >

Michigan and Wisconsin each owns more xorest reserve land than Minne­sota.

"'Whether Minnesota shall stand,still or go forward in this matter depends upon the legislature.

LIKES ONE-NIGHT STANDS MANAGER OF ROAD COMPANY

SINGS PRAISE OF NORTHWEST FOR SHOW BUSINESS.

Northern Minnesota, the Dakotas and Manitoba are today the happy hunting grounds of the "one night s tand" the­atrical troupe, according to H. E. Nich­olas, manager of the "Slave Girl" com­pany, now lying over at the National. Other sections of the country are not in it.

"You can talk all you please about the joys of running a stock company or traveling with a big show," said Mr. Nicholas. "Give me a good, clean melodrama, a competent company, and some special scenery and turn me loose in the northwest. Of course the life is hard. Long night trips by freight train, drives thru blizzards and lit­tle sleep. But it is worth while.

"The people in these little towns are just longing to see a good show, and they have the money to pay for it. If you treat them fairly, put on some­thing which is lean and entertaining and carry a good company, there is nothing they won't do for you. Aside from the money in it, it is worth while just for the pleasure you can bring to these little prairie towns and for the kind treatment you receive.

" U p in the Black Hills last winter we had to drive thirty-five miles thru a blizzard 'to make out nexfc stand. We fioundCred thru the drifts an"dvdid not get there till 9:45 p.m. The audience was waiting for us, and waited an hour longer for us to thaw out, eat and dress- Then it sat thru the play and applauded every line. That is the sort of appreciation which feels good.

^Tnis is certainly the road-show dis­trict of the United States. Every lit­tle town is hustling to get some sort of -an opera house so that it can have more plays, and better ones. Patronage is liberal, better than in any other section of the country."

The largest insect in the world is probably A grasshopper found in the Karoo' desert in South Africa. I t has a ten-inch spread of wing.

" I n the past twenty years Califor­nia and the Pacific coast states have probably received more generous and systematic advertising than any partf of the United States—perhaps of the entire world. The effects of that ad­vertising are striking. During a large part of that time that section has been so congested with laboring men that it has been always difficult, and often impossible, to secure employment. Many a laboring man has wasted there all the money he had saved in vainly seek­ing employementj and finally started back home penniless. All this time there has been in Minnesota an unsup-plied demand for farm help at remuner­ative wages.

" I n every movement to a new coun­try the laboring men are the first to go. The next to leave are men who rent farms: the last these who have to sell their belongings before they can take their departure. Not only farmers and farm laborers, but men from every walk in life and every calling have been in­duced to take up their residence in the coast states. It is not only that we have lost large numbers of our citizens, but hundreds of thousands if not mill­ions of dollars worth of taxable proper­ty has been taken from Minnesota to the Pacific slope. The same thing is true of almost every state in the union, and of many European countries whose people have gone to swell the popula­tion beyond the Rockies.

Advertising Has Paid. "Who shall say that there has not

been an ample return for all the adver­tising of that country, for every effort put forth and every dollar expended in exploiting its resources. Not only have the terminal and coast cities been bene­fited, but every inland city and vil­lage, as well as every piece of real estate, whether town lot or farm land, thruout the entire region, has likewise received beneficial results. I t may very well be asked now whether the time has not arrived when Minnesota should awaken to the of the benefits to be derived by increasing our population. While these benefits may be felt in a

one-third of its value, the increased tax for advertising on $1,000 worth of prop­erty, instead) of being 3 cents would be less than 1 cent. Is there a doubting Thomas in the state who thinks that the general benefits to come to each $1,000 worth of property will not be 1 cent many times overt As much or more benefit will come from the general agitation incident to an effort to secure immigration as comes from the actual money invested by the state. The gen­eral benefits to the state last year as a result of the enactment of the immigra­tion law, cannot be measured by tha $7,500 invested in advertising its ua-occupied lands. That great benefits came to Minnesota certainly no man can successfully deny. The school and university funds alone received from $125,000 to $150,000 more from the state lands sold during the past year, than they would have received from the same land had they been sold without the enactment of the law in question. Not only was the state benefited by this increase in the price of its land, but there was a vast amount of private real estate sold to men who came here from other states with the intention of set­tling upon their purchases.

All Pulled Together. "Near ly every interest in the state

contributed to the success of the en­terprise. The railroads furnished free transportation to the editors of farm papers from onr own and other states, to twin city newspaper men, and to the representatives of many of our country papers. They took up the work of ad­vertising as it had never been done be­fore.^ Local boards of trade procured maps showing the location of state lands in their respective localities, and their relation to schoolhouses, villages, rail­road stations, lakes and rivers, and gave them general circulation every­where. Editors of agricultural and oth­er journals, who took advantage of this free excursion, went home to write column after column, week after week, praising the country they had visited. Had the state paid for all the free advertising it received, from which there can be no doubt substantial ben­efits resulted, it would have cost many times the $7,500 invested under the im­migration iaw. Barely ever has a com­monwealth realized so signally such a large measure of profit as did the state of Minnesota from th3t slight invest­ment. It cost the newspapers and pe­riodicals which gave the free adver­tising substantially nothing.

Boost—Don't Knock. ' ' Grumbling and fault finding against

natural conditions should be condemned everywhere. Epecially is this true in a state possessing such marvelous oppor-

importance j tunities and advantages as does the state of Minnesota. Few things are more harmful than a citizen who is

preaching discouragement aiid larger measure in some localities than j thereby influencing prospective settlers in others there is not a section of the} to take their residence elsewhere. While state in which the advantage of in- ' other localities have found advertising creased immigration will not repay many fold the amount expended in ad­vertising.

Individual Cost Low. " W e have in this state more than

$900,000,000 of assessed valuation. If the state of Minnesota were to expend annually $25,000 in advertising our state's resources, the tax on a farm or a stock of merchandise assessed at $1,000 would be less than 3 cents—less than two postage stamps. As property in this state is assessed for only about

exceedingly profitable, there is prob­ably no state in the union so favorably located to realize the large measure of benefits frorn^ proper and systematic advertising as is the state of Minne­sota. Nearly all the homeseekers who are disposed to visit North Dakota or the Canadian northwest have to pass our threshhold and go nearly the entire length of the state. Let us awaken from our Bip Van Winkle sleep, and let the world know of the golden oppor­tunities for homebultders which every­where surround u s . "

The rules gorerning the contest will be fully explained at a meeting of the club, to be held some eTenlng early next week. As the rules are complicated and the violation of any of them means disqualification, the committee urges that all entrants gire them their earnest attention. The same oare is urged upon those who are to act as observers. All dubious points will be ex­plained at the meeting next week.

The prisoner is making a strong ef­fort at appearing cheerful and hope­ful, but he is evidently worried and not at all pleased with the prospect of three and a half years in the gray walls of the penitentiary. " I have not yet se lected my Stillwater quarters," « he with a grim smile.

" W e have between 500 and 600 typewritten pages of testimony," said ITS. B. Mills of the ^commission to T h e J o u r n a l today. " ' * This is all the testimony received up to date. With it are exhibits which exceed in volume the amount of testimony. I think every member of the commission has so far personally reviewed all this mass of evidence and personally digested it. Just as soon as the final arguments are made the commission proposes to go right to work at the evidence in con­sultation and close the case as soon as possible. I t is impossible to say, how­ever, how long it will take. The sub­ject is a weighty one and the testimony unusually extensive. The commission has as yet come to no conclusions on any point.N

"Some time ago we submitted to the railroads what we were willing to ac­cept in the way of revised merchandise rates, but the railroads were not satis­fied and so we have gone on with the hearings. The result is that we now have much more information than we had before when we laid our proposition before the railroads."

NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE

It is now possible for everyone to have healthy and rich looking hair, by using Newbro's Herpicide, the ORIGINAL remedy that "kills the dandruff germ." The presence of the dandruff germ in the scalp causes first, dull, brit­tle and lusterless hair, with later, dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.

All of these disagreeable symptoms will disappear, and the hair grow as nature intended, i f the dandruff germ is destroyed and kept out of the scalp. Pon' t wait for chronic baldness for i t is incurable.

•\ FOB HOT WEATHBB—On account of i ts antiseptic and purifying action, Herpicide i s an absolute necessity during the summer months. Dried sebaceous matter, perspiration and other impurities thrown out by the sweat glands clog up the pores of * the scalp and offer an inviting field for microbic development. Herpicide opens the pores of the scalp and keeps i t clean, pure and wholesome. I t relieves Prickly Heat and stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.,

" I cannot speak too highly of Newbro's Herpicide, It keeps my hair and scalp in excellent condition."
