Will the right kind of a bill, back- ed by the proper amount of pressure emerge from the Brainerd convention to force its way through the legisla- ture? If so, then we are assured of those rights and liberties that are so vyital to the immediate welfare of the best part of the big and good state of Minnesota. If anything happens to mar the complete harmony—nothing has so far,—our rights are in jeopardy for a long time to come and efforts to wring from the legislature what . {should had come without persuasion “}the first Punic war was ascribed to the and pressure will have been lost. We must win now or be a long time generating anew the potential force necessary to carry us on to victory. That is why every work, every action, every move of the Brainerd -| convention means so much to us who are unable to attend that most im- portant gathering. - The efforts of months of toil and agitation and pleadings are now at ,| stake in the opera house in Brainerd.

FARM HOME CONVENIENCES. We frequently bear it said that farmers move to town in order that they may have the use of the con- veniences of the city home. This may in a measure be the truth, but there are mzny farm homes tnday that have as many conveniences as the average city home. Other farm homes should have these same con- veniences and will have when the farmer once knows that it is not n:c.ssary to move to town to. get them. Attend the coming Farmers’ Institute and if the question is not discussed, ask for information. SALOME Bemidji always is repre- sented at the grand opera season when it is on in St. Paul and some who go from here were inclined to feel a bit downhearted when the news came out that St. Paul was not to have a presentation of the nor- torious opera, ‘‘Salome.” The action of Leroy' Steward, chief of police of Chicago, in order- ing this opera ‘‘toned down,” will, therefore, come as a consolation to those who were inclined to mourn. Chief Steward witnessed Mary Garden as “‘Salome,”—be sure to pronounce it Sal-o-me—and this is what he says. “It was disgusting, Miss Garden wallowed around like a cat in a bed of catnip. There was no art in her dance that I could see. ““If the same show were produced on Halsted street the people would call it cheap, but over at the Audi- torium they say it’s art. “Black art, if art at all! not call it immoral. is disgusting. “Tobe sure Miss Garden can sing. She is the whole show. ‘There-are only four actors in her whole company and only two singers, including herself. As for the music, I would I would say it _ it was simply one crash after another, and it was a case of two singers against 110 pieces of noise making devices.” And so if Chicago cannot stand Salome, certain it is that refined St. +Paul would have no use for her. HAVE WE WON? Men who mean business are today assembled from thirty-one counties having a combined population of 649,000, in the opera house at Brainerd and their force is augment- ed by the governor of the state and a good many other persons who are willing that a fair representation 'in the state law making body be extend- ed to the counties of the north. Today and tomorrow are dramatic ing will fulfill its mission, and that its existence will mean that proper representation and good roads will be assured to the fastest growing spot in all of the gieat northwest. The delegation from Bemidji is one that the town may well be proud of, and assures Bemidji the honor of a front place in the ranks of the fighters for justice and prosperity. WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I Right You Are. Even without saloons Bemidji will be one of the liveliest little cities in the state.—News Com- ment News Tribune. St. Cloud is There. It is certainly very considerate of Put-on-the-lid Jchnson to keep his hands off the Brainerd life saving stations until after the great convention there this week. This should encourage a large attend- ance from St. Cloud,‘ which may be next on Bro. Johnson’s little list, —St. Cloud Journal Press. The Innocent Bystander. Not only do innocent bystanders suffer 1n the deer country, but the hunter this year is getting it himself. In Northern Michigan one hunter caught his gun in the boat thwarts and is gone. Another struck at his dog "with the stock of his gun and | will take no further interest in the sport. Another clubbed the apples in a tree with his reversed weapon. He is in the hospital with slight hope of recovery. Now and then one of the more skillful drops a deer. —NMinneapolis Journal. ) Shame to Shoot Fawn. Hanging' up in*front of one of the down town shops yesterday morning we saw two deer, evi- dently the trophies of the trusty rifle of the proprietor. One was a full grown deer and a fine speci- men, but the other was a iawn,l ‘o bigger than a goat. We may be oversensitive about such things, but even if we did shoot such a little inoffensive thing by accident we’d never bring it home to brag about it. It strikes us that there must be just as much sport in kil- ling a deer of that age as there would be in beating a baby with a club,—Detroit Free Press, The greatest danger from influenza is of its.resulting in pneumonia.

In Egypt it represented Horus, the young or ris- ing sun, in a boat surmounted by stars. closely followed by Sirius, which was shown as a cow. It has also been found sculptured on the walls of Thebes 5,000 years ago. And on the men of that early time it shone down from the same position and with the a striking example of the unchange- ableness of the heavens. From the days of the early Hindus to the present the constellation has for some reason borne always a stormy character. Allusions to its direful in- fluence are found everywhere among the classic writers. Thus Milton wrote: ‘When' with ‘fierce’ winds Orion arrived ‘Hath vexed the Red sea coast. The loss of the Roman squadron’in fleets having sailed just after the ris- ing of Orion. The group has also been employed as a calendar sign, its morn- ing rising indicating the beginning of summer, its midnight rising the season it of grape gathering and its early even- ing rising the arrival of winter, with its attendant storms. In recent times the group has always represented a great hunter or warrior. Its present title came into Greek astronomy from the Euphrates and originally. signified the light of heaven. BABY TURTLES. They Know Just What to Do and Do It Without Guidance. . Just so soon as a baby turtle emerges from the egg off he-scuttles down. to the sea. He has no one to teach him, no one to guige him. In his curious little brain there is implanted a streak of caution based upon the fact that until a certain period in his life his armor is soft and no defense against { hungry fish, and he at once seeks the shelter in the tropical profusion of the gulf weed, which holds within its branching fronds an astonishing abun- dance of marine life. Here the young turtle feeds unmolested while bis ar- mor ‘undergoes the hardening process. Whatever the young sea turtle eats and wherever he eats it—facts not gen- erally ascertained—one 'thing is cer- tain, it agrees with him immensely. He leads a pleasant sort of life, bask- ing in the’ tropical sun and cruising leisurely in the cool depths. Once he has attained the weight of twenty-five pounds, which usually oc- free from all danger. After that no fish or mammal. however ravenous, however well armed with teeth, inter- feres with the turtle. When once he has withdrawn his head from its position of outlook ‘intc the folds of his neck between the two shells intending devourers may strug- gle in vain to make an impression upon him.—Harper's Weekly. The Roar of China’s Ducks. Tourists in China are always sur- prised by the number of ducks they see. There are more ducks in China than -in all the rest of the world. { Their voices are a familiar Sound in every town and country spot of the seacoast and the interior of the vast empire. Even in the large cities ducks abound. They dodge between the cool- ies’ legs. They flit squawking out of the way of the horses. Their.indig- nant quack will not unseldom drown the roar of urban commerce. Children herd ducks on every road. on every pond, on every farm, on every lake, on every river. There is no back yard without its duck ho There is'no boat, little or, great, without ifs duck quarters. All over the land there are great duck hatching establishments, wany of them of a capacity huge enough to produce 50,000 young ducks every year. Duck among the Chinese is_a staple delicacy. It is salted and smoked like ham or beef.—New York World — Willing to Be Reasonable. “Do you believe in. long engage- ments?” he asked after she had con- sented to be his. “Yes, dearest,” she replied. “I have always thought it was such a mistake for two people to rush into matrimony before they learned to really know each other.” “Well, about -how long would you wish the engagement to be?’ “Let me see! Would you think it until a week from next Thursday?'— Chicago Record-Herald. Fellow Worms. Before Longfellow bought the house in Cambridge so associated with" his memory it was owned and occllpied' by old Mrs. Craigie. Mrs. Craigie was a woman of many eccentricities. one once tried to persuade her to have her trees tarred to protect them from caterpillars, which also invaded her neighbors’ trees. She refused to be so cruel to the caterpillars. "They are our fellow worms,” she sald.

With the progress of science comes one remarkable treatment for kidney diseases. It has been so thoroughly tested and its results have proven so revolutionary that a well-known firm in Michigan has undertaken its distri- bution into every part of the country. Those who suffer from kidney trou- ble and the diseases resulting from it will be pleased to know that every package of this treatment is thorough- ly gparanteed. This should assure at last a positive cure to every sufferer. Every man and woman should know that backache is usually a well-defined symptom of advancing kidney disease which may end fatally unless treated in time; that rheumatism and bladder trouble are caused from nothing more nor less than kidneys that do not filter the poison from the blood; that dropsy, Bright's disease, diabetes and bladder- stones are caused by bad kidneys. Once they are made to work prop- erly, these diseases should quickly dis- appear. This is done by the new treatment, Dr. Derby’'s Kidney Pills. i ‘We urge everyone who has pain in | !the small of the back, gromse OF. | scanty urination, pains in the bladder. |cloudi or foul urine, not to fail to get a package today of Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills, and drop all other kidney treat- i ments. Senator Stevenson, of Washinfi i ton, writes from Olympia: “There is no question about the efficacy of Dr. Derby’s Pure Kidney Pills in_curing kidney and bladden trouble. I know whereof I speak. Dr. Derby’s Kldney Pills are now | sold at all drug _stores—60 . pills—10 days' ‘treatment—25 cents, or direct | from Derby Medicine Co., Eaton Rapids, Mich. If you would like to try them i first, ask your druggist fo1 a free sam= ‘ple package. Then buy a package; you will not regret it. Secrets of Comfort. i Though soitetimes small evils, like P invisible insects, inflict pain and - a sin- gle hair » st8p a vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifies to vex one and in pru- dently cultivating an undergrowth of P small pleasures. since very few great ones, alas, are let on long leases.
