AMERICAN FARMERS ARE RETURNING FROM CANADA Have Tried the Land and Climate and Found Them Wanting—15,000 Already Back. ) Washington, July 21—Clarence J. Blanchard, statistician of the govern. ment reclamation service, bas re- turned trom a trip through Montana and the Dakotas, He states that while there, he interviewed many settlers in Montana who tried the the Canada experiment. They were all glad to return to this country as soon as possible. The men interviewed stated that practically every American farmer in the neighborhood of Alberta where the Canadian government maintains its irrigation project, was anxious to get back to the United States if he could sell his holdings. The interviews show that the tide of emigration of home seekers to Canada, which has been the subject of great concern to the adminis. trators of the public domain for the last few years, has turned. Thous- ands have returned, more will come back as soon as they can sell, and the majority of the rest are only waiting to prove up on their claims before they leave the country. American settlers say they are dissatisfied with the character of the land, the crops from which consist mainly of alfalfa, and such hardy grainsas winter wheat, and even these were not sure. The form of government does not appeal to them and they considered the freight rates exhorbitant. The climate was a source of dissatisfaction, ice and snow in August of last year adding to their discomfort. During the last nine months, it was said by the reclamation service today, 15,000 settlers have returned to this countr: from Canada, and the prospects tor a genera! backward movement are bright. There is plenty of room in this country for all the farmersand with the vast unsettled regions of the northwest, with good climate and sure crops, there is no necessity for - farmers going to Canada. The Barebone Family. A The celebrated name of Praise God Barebone was borne by a member of the Cromwell parliament called togeth- er after the dissolution of the long parliament in 1653. The royalists call- ed the assembly “Barebones parlia- ment.” At the time when General Monk was in London Barebone headed the mob that presented a petition to parliament against the recall of Charles II. Of the Barebone family there were three brothers, each of whom had a sentence for a name— Praise God Barebone, Christ-came- into-the-world-to-suve Barebone and 1f-Christ-had-not-died - thou-hadst-been- damned Barebone, PEOPLE WE KNOW They Are Bemidji People, and What They Say is of Local Interest. When an incident like the follow- ing occurs right here at home, it is bound to carry weight with our readers. So many strange stories go the rounds of the press: are pub- lished as facts, people become skep- tical. On one subject skepticism is rapidly disappearing. This is due to the actual experience of our citi- zens, and their public utterances regarding them. The doubter must doubt no more in the face of such evidence as this. The public state- ment of a reputable citizen living right at home, one whom you can see every day, leaves no ground for the skeptic to stand on. Mrs. J. E. Cahill, 817 Minnesota Ave., Beminji, Minn., says: “I never had any serious trouble from my kidneys, but a few months ago I began to suffer from pain through the small of my back and other symptoms pointing to kidney dis- order, I had heard so much about Doan’s Kidgey Pills that I con- cluded to give them a trial and pro- cured a box at the Owl Drug ‘Store. I took them according to directions, was cured and have been in good health since. I am well pleased with the results that followed the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills in my case and have no hesitation in re- commending them to other sufferers from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers.

Leslle Stephen’s single meeting with Freeman, the historian, was in the na- ture of a collision. “I came in contact with him ouly once” he said. “He wrote a life of Alfred for the Diction- ary of Natlonal Biography under my editorship, but declined to do more because we had a difference of opinion as to whether Athelstane should be spelled with an ‘A’ That was, I con- fess, a question to which I was culpa- bly indifferent, but I had taken com- petent advice, and my system (I forget what it was) had been elsewhere sanc- tioned by the great listorian Stubbs. Now, as Freeman was never tired of assertlng the infallibility of Stubbs, I innocently thought that I might take refuge behind so eminent an authority, The result was that for once Freeman blasphemed" Stubbs and refused to co- operate any longer in an -unscholarlike enterprise.”* Remnants of a College Course.
