It would. seem highly important that it be determined just what is to be done toward securing a secretary for the County Fair Association to succeed W. R. Mackenzie at the earl- SCICIIORROROROCTO8 2@@@@@ &% jest moment. The work of preparing the pre- mium lists and otherwise executing the duties necessary in making ready for the 1911 exhibition should now be under way. Added to this is the question of obtaining new grounds for the fair as it is probable that another exhibi- tion cannot be held at the old loca- tion. Delay is dangerous. The wide publicity given Beltrami county through the Northern Min- nesota Developement Association,, the state fair exhibit, the wonder- fully successful county fair of last fall and the continual boosting of enthusiasts in this part of the state emphasizes the need of maintaining the pace which has been set. To do this the controlling forces for the annual proofs of the fertility of Bel- trami’s soil must begin to exert themselves. ‘Whether the work which has been in charge of Mr. Mackenzie shall be harmonized with the secretary of the Commercial Club is, of course, a mat- ter of argument. There seems no reason why such an amalgamation could not be successfully executed as the work of both is along much the same line. In that event a com- petant man should be employed at a reasonable salary to devote his time and energy to the upbuilding of the Agricultural Association, as well as the promotion and prosper- ity.of the city of Bemidji. Such a man should, however, be broad enough to understand that the fair is a county institution and that all parts of the county should be on an equal basis. But these are things which can be settled after a full and free. discus- sion, the main points being that some definite action should. be taken at once. DUNN GETTING IN. BAD, It is one thing to look like Abra- ham Lincoln and quite another to act like him. Mr. Dunn, the tall attorney from Albert Lea spends his moments not given over to his duties as speaker of the house of representatives to that makes & nolse like & candidat for governor in 1912, Eberhart or 1id Eberhart. In fact Mr. Dunn has “done his durndest” to perfect an organiza- tion ‘that will be of lasting_benefit and he has succeeded in patching up a presentable machine but even at this .early date.obstructions are be- ginning to break the cogs. In other *|words, the House, which means a majority of its membership, is get- ting its dander up and every once in a while it indicates “Mr. Dunn be jiggered!” This rebellion is daily becoming more and more pronounced and Mr. Dunn- and_his- henchmen begin to realize, the fact. Twin City newspapers tell of an exclusive little feast given by the speaker to 15 of his pet members, a few evenings ago. The trouble re- sulting from this dinner grows out. of the fact that several of the origi- nal Dunn men were not invited. “The result of the dinner”, says the St. Paul Dispatch, “coupled with committee appointments was mani- fest in a vote on the appointment of another page. The speaker wanted the page appointed but the House voted him down. This is the first time during the session that the speaker has lost out.” The speaker is also in bad as a re- sult of his failure to consider the members re- recommendations. of lative to the appointment of House employes. E. G. Perry was promis- ed the chairmanship of the state fair committee. He did not get it. George Nye of Minneapolis and S. N. Lee are two more members who are dissatisfied with the {reatment at the hands of the speaker. Added to the list of dissatisfied ones must be placed the name of | Representative D. P. Q'Neil of Thief | River Falls. Mr. O’Neil made but one request for an appointment of an employe by the speaker, and the speaker after many days of delay, turned down the request and ap- pointed another man. It would be superhuman for any man to fill the office of speaker to the complete satisfaction of all but it begins to look as if ‘Speaker Dunn was a little farther from perfection than is really necessary. I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I A Disgrace to Bemidji, Sheriff Hazen of Bemidji has thrown disgrace over his city and county and a shadow of it reflected over all northern Minnesota, by de- manding PAY for the rescue work done by him and some of his char- itable friends during the fire at Bau- dette and Spooner. Bemidji is up in arms over the matter and her patri- otic citizens feel keenly the sting of shame on their city.—Clearwater Crystal. Wait Until We Get the Union. The Bemidji Sentinel pauses to re- mark that the G. N. depot in that city is a filthy place and inadequate to meet the demands of the public. If it can compare with ‘thnt dry goods box of a depot the M. & I. has at that point it is certainly a dandy.— Northome Record. That Poor Woman. A telegram from Moorhead states that a poor woman of that city who has been operating a truck gardenm, has fallen heir to $75,000, through the death of a sister. Falling heir to a large sum of money is common now days, but to operate a truck garden in northern Minnesota for a few years and then be called poor is cause for wonder.—Little Falls Transeript.

The perfection of Spanish horseman- ship is to be seen among the vagueros, ganaderos and garrochistas, by which various names the mounted herdsmen of the Andalusian plains are known— in brief, what we should call a cow- boy. Every farm seems to maintain a large number of these, for each herd, flock or drove has its own. herdsman, goatherd or swineherd, as the case may be. The vaqueros are a fine look- ing lot of men, Tall, thin, light and loosely made, they look ideal horsey men, as, in point of fact, they -are, though their mounts are poor. The vaquero rides very high on a huge saddle, with a long stirrup and, straight leg, using a single rein and, a very heavy curb, but he has such, beautiful hands that, nlthough using this barbarous bit, he never cuts his| horse’'s mouth about. It is different with the animal’s sides, however, for he uses his spurs without mercy, and, the white horses—of which there are a large number—all have ominous red stains behind the girths. All the herdsmen who look after cattle carry a long lance, called a gar- rocha, of thick and heavy wood, which, except when standing still, they al- ways carry “in rest” and not “at the carry,” presumably on account of its great length and possibly its weight. With this weapon, in the use of which he acquires amazing dexterity, the garrochista is able to control the most unruly brutes in the herd, not except- ing .the savage fighting bull—Wide ‘World Magazine. BIRTH OF A WING. Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the Dragon Fly. Says a writer in the Scientific Amer- fean: “A wonderful spectacle is pre- sented by the sudden apparition of an insect’s wing at the completion of its metamorphosis. tion .of the grub into the butterfly, though familiar, is none the less amaz- ing, but the evolution of the active and gossamer, winged dragon fly from its ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa is still more impressive. Early on a May morn- ing the pupa emerges from its cocoon at the bottom of a ditch, swims on its | back by paddling with its long haired paws to the stem of an aquatic plant and climbs up out of the water. Then, after a momentary pause, the skin suddenly. bursts open and the perfect insect appears, with closely folded wings, which soon unfold aud assume their final form. “The older naturalists thought that the insect ‘swallowed air,’ with which the wings were inflated. In reality the air is absorbed in the digestitve organs, -causing an increased Dblood pressure, which mechanically expands the wings. The presence of dew is also .necessary; hence the first flight is always made at dawn. “This spectacle of the hirth of a wing may be observed in dragon flies reared- in an aquarium, the atmos- phere of which should be moistened with an atomizer when the pupa rises te the surface.” His Indiscretion.

No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test and stood it well. ‘What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Bemidji resident who has been cured and has stayed cured? Read the following: Mrs, Ella Barett, 723 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, Minn.,, says: “Since Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me three years ago I have been as free from kidney trouble as if I had never had it. My system was filled with uric poison. that my kidneys failed to re- move and at times I was very ner- vous. I had dull pains in the small of my back and I knew that I was in need of a kidney medicine. Ina short time after I begun using Doan’s Kidney Pills, I improved and it did not take them long to restore me to good health.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
