Perhaps that loud aeroplanist noise Monday night was the mayor's veto. If Admiral Togo sticks around long enough he may even see a dem- ocratic president. We suggest an additional prize to the school gardener who can raise a scentless onion. A Dickenson, N. D., man has in- vented a machine that successfully milks cows which is more than can be said for some hired men. Aviator Harry N. Atwood flew from St. Louis to Chicago, 286 miles, in 6 hours and 43 minutes without S0 much as even getting airsick. St. Cloud is ready to admit that twenty-three is a hoo-doo number. Her baseball team played Long Prai- rie and the score was 23 to 1 in favor of L. P. Just think what a boost that “war fund” for the California suffragets will have if the ladies would refrain a couple of days from chewing gum. But there’s a limit to even a wom- an’s sacrifices. Our apology to our recent and able assistant, Mayne Stanton, and we hasten to assure him that, although we are willing to admit that he has a hearty laugh, that it was a typo- graphical error which caused last night's Ploneer to say, “Mayne Stan- ton has installed in his laugh a 40 horse power engine.” The engine was for a launch—Mayne's laugh needs no artificial assistance. A lawyer charges a man $10 for ten minutes’ conversation. The man insists on paying it. A doctor charges one dollar for a prescription and the patient says: “Oh, pshaw! Is that enough?” An undertaker charges $100 for conducting a fun- eral, and he is just perfectly lovely with everybody inside and outside the family, says the Marion (Ga.) Record. A man buys a gold brick and apologizes forf not having bitten before. An editor walks a niile in the hot sun to get facts of a death or a wedding or a soclal function and "spends three hours writing it up and tells lies praising people until ®('>('“©®©@©©®©@QQQ@@©@®Q®®@®©®@4)@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@®@® he hates himself. Then if he makes an insignificant omission or charges five cents straight for three copies be is a_stingy, careless, good-for- nothing old cuss who never gets any- thing right and charges four times the pflce\o! city papers twice as large. NO, THANK YOU, MR. WORKS From our esteemed southern Min- nesota contemporary, The Mankato Daily Free Press we pluck the fol- lowing ‘editorial utterance: Now that Senator S. D. Works wants to be congressman-at- large from Minnesota, he eéx- pressed regret that he voted against the reapportionment bill that was before the last legisla- ture. Does ‘Senator Works ex- pect that Northern Minnesota is going to swallow such weak and insipid “sop.” Nit, not, no, Mr. ‘Works. The Free Press is correct in its surmise. Any man who was a-mem- ber of the Minnesota legislature at its last session and voted against re- apportionment will get brickbats, lemons, jolts and everything else in Northern Minnesota before he gets her vote. Senator Works is consid- erate to offer his services to the state | and nation but Northern Minnesota, explanation or no explanation as to why he voted against reapportion- ment, has only this to say, “No, thank, you, Mr. Works.” SOMEBODY WILL GO HUNGRY. Do you know that this year there will be $309,000,000 bushels of oats less than there were last year? That the corn crop will be $506,- 000,000 bushels shy? That the wheat yield has shrunk 30,000,000 bushels? That potatoes—the product in which Northern Minnesota shines— lack 8_9,000,000 bushels of being as | numerous as last year? That it would take 12,000,000 more tons of hay to get up to the amount cut in 1910? That evenathe rice crop is off 2,- 000,000 bushels? And that you are in danger of hav- ing no cakes for breakfast next win- ter because the buckwheat crop is to the bad 3,000,000 bushels? There is just one crop showing an increase over last year’s yield and that is flax “which promises to ex- ceed last harvest by approximately 12,000,000 bushels. But flaxseed makes poor bread, and is worse as a substitute for old Dob- bins’ oats, bossie’s hay or the corn for the pigs. To the pessimist it would appear that someone would go hungry this winter. All of which should go to make the happy farmer of Northern Minnesota duly thankful for living in a coun- try where things grow. QOO OOOOOO®O®OO® D ® WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY ¢/ 0009000000000 06006 Georgia's Greatest Wonders. Georgia has a 2-year-old boy who weighs 100 pounds. Unless “Ty” Cobb quits striking out when men are on bases he may cease to be Geo- gia’s most wonderful product.—Chi- cago Record Herald. . What's This! Because of the copious rains fur- nished us by the weather man this season, thus reducing the fire loss to a minimum, the “bunch” who hid un- der the bed clothes during the get away of Mike Davis at the Puposky store last June, are telling us, “we did it.”—Menahga Journal. Why, Certainly! ‘When a fellow “goes broke” down in Bemidji, all he has to do is to go down to the river running through the place, kick around in the sand and pick up pearls selling for $100 and up. Bemidji certainly doesn’t leave a stone unturned in boosting, but then those fellows can produce the goods and succeed admirably in advertising their resources.—Roseau Region. Here’s a Real Tear Squeezer. The most pitiful case at the Baby ‘Welfare clinic yesterday afternoon was that of twin boys, 5 months old. Their mother is very young, inex- perienced, and since her husband, a traveling salesman, went away, she has been boarding and trying to earn enough to care for herself and chil- dren. Naturally they did not get proper care, and so were in the hab- it of crying at night. And, of course, the other boarders did not like to have their rest broken. (One of them told the mother that if she gave them ‘brandy and water and paregoric they would sleep soundly. She tried the experiment and it worked. She has given them two bot- tles of brandy and no one knows how much paregoric. One of the boys weighs less now that he did when born, while the other has managed to gain two pounds in his five months of life. And the mother did not rea- lize that anything was wrong until a visitor from the Associated Chari- ties told her so. It will be a wonder if the tiniest twin lives, and still more wonderful if both do not lose their minds; chil- dren who have been drugged in their babyhood usually grow up stupid and often idotic, but oftener they do not grow up. mother calls them “Baby” and “Brothér.” She does not want to name them until’ their father returns-to have a-voice in the decision. The father js earning $150. a month and sends her some money now and then. She is earning $25 a month, The next clinic will be held at the Baby Welfare-association rooms, 391 East Bighth street, at 12:30 p. m. Monday.—First Page item in St. Paul Pioneer Press. 4 ‘Yes, What Then? The St. Paul newspapers report that the Red Cross Society met on ‘Wednesday of this week at the Gov- ernor’s office and decided to loan the state forestry board $3,000 for build- ing a fire break along the Rainey River for the protection of the citi- zens of Baudette and Spooner. Both Governor Eberhart, who by virtue of his office is the state president of the Red Cross, and State Forester Cox said they would do all in their pow- er to get the next legislature to ap- propriate $3,000 to reimburse the Red Cross. Now, however, necessary and worthy the cause may be for which this money is to be used, that does not look like the right thing to do. The people who contributed this money to the Red Cross contributed it for an equally worthy but a very different purpose. Suppose the leg-] islature refused to make such an ap- propriation and who would blame it if it didn’t? What then? —St. Cloud Daily Times. Futility. Teacher—Tommy, what is the meaning of the word futility? ly, but an example of it would be trying to tickle a turtle’s back with a chicken feather. Religiou in Daily Life. Your daily duties are part of your religious life, just as much as your devotions.—Beecher. DANGER IN DELAY For Bemidji Pecple to Neglect.
