CONGRATULATIONS. At Baudette there is a live weekly paper. For a long time it has been published under the name of the Rainy River Region. The plant was burned in the fire a year ago, but the paper’s name survived until last week when announcement was made that henceforth and forever more the paper should be known as the “Bau- dette Region.” We congratulate the Region, as the new name identifies the paper with a town that Beltrami county is proud of. Now if the Northern News at Spooner, just across the river will follow sult, that sturdy town will’ likewise gain in each fssue of the publication. 2 CHEATING THE HAND OF DEATH. In a less space of time than it takes the minute hand of your watch ‘to make its circuit, a life is being choked out by man’s greatest scourge —tuberculosis: 3 It isn’t necessary that good peo- ple—useful citizens—beloved rela- tives and fond friends—should go this way, The way to cheat death in this form has been found and the Minne- sota - Anti-tuberculosis Society is spreading the “tidings as best it can and with splendid results. Still there are thousands ‘who' be- lieve that.tuberculosis is hereditary, and that once it grips, it is the grip of death. To ‘warn such persons of their ig- norance, to wage a campaign of: en- lightenment and to stop the ravages of an insiduous but conquerable dis- ease the association has been, and is, active. Here is a list of association achievements: Organized anti-tuberculosis work in all cities of state of over 6,000 population 3 mining towns). Intensive county campaign in nine counties. (except in Visiting nursing from 7 county boards. appropriation County hospital appropriation from two county boards. ' Two state taws. Two statistical investigations. Two state-wide educational Red Cross Seal campaigns. Seventeen original publications. Portable school exhibit. Special conference on legislation. Organized support for model leg- islative program last winter. The only qualified medical tuber- culosis survey of a rural district un- dertaken in America. Five hundred newspapers and 1,- 000 of Minnesota’s best citizens en- listed as leaders in the most syste- matic and intelligent state anti-tu- berculosis campaign west of the Al- leghanies. The Minnesota Association has just conducted a school house lecture cam- paign covering the northern half of Kandiyohi county. Ten lectures were glven in_}u ny townships in three and one-half days and in spite of un-| fayorable weather had an average at- tendance of 46 of whom one-third were school :children. It had been planned to spend the rest of the week covering the southern half of the county, but the condition of the roads made ‘it impossible. WHAT IT IS ‘ALL ABOUT. Everybody who reads the newspa- pers must know that Italy and Tur- key are fighting, or at least, that Ttaly is flghtmg Just why Ttaly should jump onto Turkey isn’t so apparent. The answer isn’t hard. It is something like our own war with Mexico back in '45. We wanted some land and Mexico said it be- longed to her. That started things. Now Italy says she wants Tripoli, and' Turkey has been slumbering along in the beliefgthat Tripoli is all her own, ' Turkey didn’t think Italy would have nerve enough to grab it, relying .on the powers to prevent it. But Italy has seen the other Eu- ropean nations bite off ‘chunks of Turkey and get away so she decided to help herself to the candy. And Tripoli is a pretty sweet mor- sel. It is a city of about a million |and to gain it-'would mean a tremen- dous commercial advantage to the Roman government. ; That Italy will win there is no doubt, providing a “holy war” is not called and the Buropean nations keep their fingers out of the pie.
