Grasshoppers have eaten the Iowa pickle crop and when last heard from were edging up toward the New Uln gauer kraut flelds, At Grand Forks hail stones four inches in diameter fell on the Fourth of July, but hail stones that large couldn’t very well do anything else. Reports from different parts of the gountry go to show that the hoped for safe and sane Fourth of July was after all a bit dangerous and some- what looney. | A North Dakota man asserts that he was cured of paralysis by a stroke of lHghtning. Well, there is one ad- vantage in trying this, it doesn’t take long, once you make connection with the lightning. HAIL TO THE DAILY JOURNAL. International Falls mow has a daily newspaper, the Journal, and that's a very good sign that Inter- national Falls is indeed going rapid- ly ahead. The establishment of a dally paper marks an epoch in the career of a town. It is a signal to the world that a place no longer is a mere village, but instead a thriv- ing city of metropolitan pretentions. We welcome the Journal to the daily fleld of Northern Minnesota; may it have a long and useful life. WHERE ARE THE 100 CROOKS? According to the published reports Chief of Police Ring of Hibbing told Postoffice Inspector Ormsby that he made the rounds of the Bemidji sa- loons one night and found 100 crooks. If this is true Chief Ring is an offl- cerof extraordinary ability, for a man who can come into a strange town and spot 100 cropks In one night may properly be classified as “some sleuth.” Chances are that Chief Ring never said it. Of course it isn’t the pleasantest thing in the world to be held up to the public in so unfavorable a light but Bemidji doesn’t mind a little thing like that, and anyhow, perhaps the town is so attractive that even the crooks can’t stay away. Just here, however, is a good place to remind the public at large that there are fewer crimes committed here than in any other city of its size In the state, and the records will prove the truth of this assertion. BEMIDJI, THE LAKE BEAUTIFUL There was a lot of good sound sense in the letter Dr. Engstad of Grand Forks wrote to our Arthur G. Wedge, and while folks here know that Lake Bemidji is one.of nature’s beauty 8pots they do not always realize its true value and the doctor’s suggestion that the great pines which tower heavenward on the eastern shore be made into a park and that then the health giving and health preserving properties of this district be held up as an attraction to outsiders, merits serious consideration. No truer word was written by the Grand Forks physician than his assertion that more money is spent for enjoyment than any other thing. As a delight- ful retreat for persons seeking con- tentment, Bemidji with her beauty beckons to the wandering tourist. And so the suggestion that a cam- paign of publicity be inaugurated is about the most important- proposi- tion that can be put up to the Com- mercial club. HOKE SMITH FOR SENATE. The senatorial situation is attract- ing much attention with the near ap- proach of the date when the Geor- gia legislature will choose a succes- sor to Senator Terrell in the United States senate. The balloting will be- gin hext Tuesday and all signs point to a spirited contest. Senator Ter- rell, who was appointed to fill the seat of the late Senator Clay until the legislature could choose his suc- cessor, is a candidate for election to the full term of six years. The lead- ing candidate, however, appears to be Hoke Smith, who was Secretary of the under Cleveland and who has just been in- augurated for the second time as Governor of Georgia. Governor Smith, it is understood, has long aspired to a seat in the United States senate and his supporters are now Interior President preparing to make a strong fight for his election. On the other hand, the anti-Smith element, which includes many prominent politicians in all sections of the State, will leave no stone unturned to prevent his elec- tion. A number of other candidates for the toga are receiving more or less attention. One of those whom it is believed could make a formid- able showing should he decide to make an active fight is Pleasant A. Stovall, the Savannah editor. “Tom” Watson, the former Populist leader; W. A. Covington, one of the authors of the State prohibition law, and several others have announced their candidacies. NOW IS THE TIME. In December of this year there Is to be a great land show in St. Paul to be participated in by Northwest- ern states, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana, Washington and Oregon having exhibits in place. Here will be a splendid opportun- ity for Northern Minnesota to shine. No section of the country is making a louder or stronger call for settlers. Here is a chance to show homeseek- ers what they may expect if they come here. The exhibit from this part of the state, if typical of our resources will be worth its weight in gold. For- tunately one of our own residents, W. R. Mackenzie is to have charge of the Minnesota exhibit. Speaking of Mackenzie, the Duluth Herald had to say of him and the land show work, a few days ago. “W. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji is a member of the committee having the Minnesota exhibit in charge and as representative of northern Minnesota on that committee he will do his tevel best—which is a lot—to see that this end of the state is adequately repre- sented. But he can do nothing un- less those engaged in tilling the soil will grow exhibits for him to place. If you want to know anything fur- ther about getting your fruit or vegetables, clover or alfalfa or othe: products ready for the show, write to him.* And the Herald is right. The im- portant thing just now is that you realize that this is the moment when you should be thinking about the exhibits. Preserve your best speci- mens and add them to the exhibit and do it now.

We the people of Pinewood will answer that question in a very few words. Pinewood is the best town along the line.

Pinewood is located 14 miles west of Bemidji, 6 miles north of Solway, 6 miles south of Aure and 8 miles east of Leonard; anyone who is now looking for in- formation come to Pinewood and see our mayor.—Pinewood Items in Bag- ley Herald. 0ld Bill and Lobelia Taste City Life. Old Bill Loper, who lives in the bills north of Wind Cave, was in Hot Springs Saturday for the first time in six months. His daughter, Miss Lobelia, was with him and some Wise Boy told her the Evans Hotel turned on a pivot every thirty minutes. She stood on the bridge for an hour and a half waiting to see the performance. Finally she concluded the machinery had slipped a cog, and gave it up. When Old Bill heard of the joke that had been played on Lobelia he emit- ted some choice profanity and said he’d be dad-binged if he and Lobelia would come to the Fourth of July celebration. But we’ll bet a peanut against Battle Mountain that they’ll be here before sun-up.—Hot Springs, 8. D., News. Sprains require careful treatment. Keep quiet and apply Chamberlain’s Liniment freely.
