More Money Circulating The shortage of change and the in- creasing number of bills of a large denomination in eirculation appear to indicate that money is moving more freely than time past. Well, there are lots of us that can use it. Rest Room Needed. Bemidji’s need of a rest room was emphasized on Saturday. As that wag expected to be the last Saturday ot good sleighing many farmers came to the city with produce and to take back provisions. The large number of women seen waiting in different places could not but help attract at-| tention to the need of a common rest room where appointments could be made and kept. be taken up by the council at once. After Wiley, What? While he was the chief of the chemistry bureau, Dr. Harvey Wiley | fought unceasingly for pure food. He sticceeded and thereby brought down on his head the wrath and enmity of the interests. Tired of the strife and the lack of support from his su- periors, he has resigned. Whether or not the people will still be safe-| guarded becomes a question of who is to be his successor. Secretary Wil- son has not been too friendly to the Wiley campaign. another man where he did not sup- port Wiley? Many people are of the opinion that Wilson has served in the cabinet too long and would like to) see some other man at the head of | that department. The Hallowell Concerts. It is not often that Bemidji people ! have an opportunity to hear concerts such as were given in a local theater Saturday and Sunday. In fact, there| is but one instrumentalist in the city| that excels any of the Hallowell play— Sanborn. The chosen ranged from the popular to the classic and both were effectively rendered. The singing of Mr. Ha- berkorn was a delight to those that heard him and he proved his right to the diamond medal he wore. The troupe was really worth a better housing and facilities than were at their command but the players proved themselves true artists by giving per- fect produutlans in_spite of the ad-| verse conditions.

Many.of his ideas which were assailed as revolutionary and |anarchistic when first brought out have since been adopted by other statesmen and have come to be gen- erally accepted as correct.. La Fol- }lelte is a' thorough student and nev- |er advocates a proposition until he .$ 45T has made a thorough investigation of 95 it in all its phases and found it iright. « His platform is a square statcment of his stand on current issues. There {is no equivocation. He is plain and ‘concise. His ideas. are Republican but progressive.- He is standing for | the peoples interests. To be elected ‘on this platform, however, is an en- |tirely different question. He will ! naturally have every big interest, which have for so long stood behind ithe party’s “stand-patism”, line jagainst him and this opposition will “he hard to overcome. The only way Hm the common people to get the | nomination for La Follette is to at- tend the primaries and see ‘that pro- igressive Republican delegates are 'qent to the state convention, M; PRINTING ONCE IN DISFAVOR | Followers of the Art Have Been Known to Explate Thelr “Crimes” on the Gallows. | On the 16th of July, 1660, Martis Lhomme, one of two who were hanged in the Place Maubert by the decree of the parliament, suffered because he had published a writing entitled “Epistre envoyea au . tigre de la France” (A letter directed against the Tiger of France), a satire directed | against the cardinal of Lorraine, then all powerful, which had probably been imprinted at Basle in Switzerland, or Strasburg, Germany. The culprit, ac cording to the historian De Thou, was a poor little bookseller, a native of i Rounen. While he was waiting at the gibbet, says Charles Winslow Hall in the National Magazine, one of his fel | low countrymen, coming into Paris on business, saw him on his way and recognized him. “Then,” says Regniet de la Planche, “not knowing why he was condemned to death, he alighted from his horse at a meighboring hos- telry, and, seeing the people very | angry against the unfortunate man, | cried to them, “Eh, what, my frlends, | is it not enough that he dies? Leave him to the executioner. - Would you like to torment himg more than his sen- | tence demands?' They considered the | Norman’s pity misplaced. He wat forthwith arrested, judged and hanged | four Qays later without any form of process in the same fatal Place Maw hert.” THE FIRST GRAY Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color Of the Hair and Make It Grow. j A harmless remedy, made from | common garden sage, quickly restores | gray hair to natural color. The care of the halr, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as im- portant as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neg- lect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspicuous and sugges- |tive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two, it is easier {to preserve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have | a good complexion. All that is necessary is the occa- sional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of {common garden Sage and Sulphur, | combined with other valuable reme- | dies for dry, harsh, faded hair. After ‘a. few applications of this simple {harmless remedy your hair will grad- ually be restored to its natural color, |in a short time the dandruff will be | removed, and your hair will no long- \er come out but will start to grow as wNuture intended it should. Don’t neglect your hair, for it goes 1 numbermfurther than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when.you realize the difterence it will make in your ap- pearance. | ;PBOPOSALS FOR DEPOSITORIES OF SINKING FUND MONIES.

By LOGAN WALLER PAGE, - Director Office of Public Roads, United States Department * of Agriculture Copyright by Amerlican Press Asso- ciation, 1912, N Mareh, 1893, a petition was pre- serfed to congress asking that a rosud - depariment “similar to the ricultural department be found- ad at Washington for the purpose of promoting consiruction and mainte- nance of rou nd for teaching stu- flnnn so that they might become skilled id engineers and to establish a per- hibit of sections of road il- iustrating various methods of construc- tiou and the best rvoad materials and manchinery. This petition was signed by the goveruors of many of the states, including Governor McKiuley of Ohio, by chambers of commerce and umiver- sities and was indorsed by resolutions of legislature: The office of road inquiry was estab- lished under authority of an act of UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PUBLIC ROADS. congress approved Mareh 3, 1893, mak- ing appropriation of $10,000 for the de- partment of agriculture. The clause relating to this work provided that the secretary of agriculture should make Inquiries in regurd to systems of road States, make investigations in regard to the best methods of road making, prepare publications on this subject and assist agricultural colleges and ex- periment stations .in mssemxnnung An- formation.* Since 1893 the total amount appro- priated for the office of public roads is $864,860, and since its establishment the office has. issued 40 bulletins, 95 circulars, 9 farmers’ bulletins, 21 year book’ reprints and 18 annual reports. a total of 183 publications. The office has directed the construc- tion of about 346 object lessons and experimental roads, illustrating macad- am, bituminous macadam, brick, grav- ¢l, sand-clay, shell and earth construc- tion. The approximate expenditure on these object lessons and experimental ronds by local authorities has been $600,762, and the subsequent road work due directly to the object lesson roads represents expenditures running well ap into millions. Lectures and person- al advice by engineers and experts have constituted a prominent feature of the work of the office since its establish- ment. The road material laboratory was installed in December, 1900, and from that time ‘to July 1, 1911, about 0,890 samples of road material have been received from practically every state in the Union and tested to deter- mine their character and value for road building. A photographic laboratory was in- stalled in January, 1909, and lias now a complete outfit. This was the direct result of a great need for illustrated, lectures. The office bas now a collec- tion of about 6,000 negatives and about 3,000 slides, many of which have been colored. These illustrate all phases of road wor! with ofls, tars, rock asphalt and vari- ous preparations for the purpose of preventing dust and preserving- mac- adam roads from destruction’ under modern trafic conditions. ~The office has conducted investigations to deter- mine the feasibility of the sand- clay method of road building in’ the south- ern states as well .as in the prairie states, and this method of construction especially in the south. of natural soils by ‘treatment with as- published 1o circular No. 90." The office is conducting investigations on the use of slag as a road material and the Improvement of sand roads in parts of the country where clay is not accessi- ble/ Practical efforts have been made toward bringing about the more gener- al use of the-split log drag in the main- tenance of earth roads. .

This work was begun in the fiseal year 1905. c Investigations into the _decomposmon of rock powders under the action of water have led to important discover- Ies with reference to increasing the ce- menting value of road materials, The inv estigation into the corrosion of iron portant results. The generally accept- ed theories regarding the rusting of iron have been demonstrated to be in- correct, and it has been shown that by treating the surface of the iron with a strong oxidizing agent the rust- ing can be inhibited. In May, 1907, the office inaugurated a project designed to introduce the. best possible systems of construetion. malntenance and administration of roads in the various countles. Under this plan cngineers are assigned to make thorough investigation on . all phases of the road work of the county to which they are assigned, and pre- pare exhaustive reports giving plans. estimates and recommendations. The number of the employees of the office has increased from one on July 1, 1893, to 157 on July 1, 1911. The present appropriation of the office isx $160,720, out of which $3,500 is paid for rent, leaving $157.220 to pay the salaries of these 157 employees, as well as traveling expenses, the purchase of running expenses. methods of organization have been in troduced into the administration of the office, and the great library on all BECTION OF THE BITUMINOUS LABORATORY OFFICE OF PUBLIC ROADS. phases of Toad work Is the best Tn the ‘western hemisphere, and the library is being added to constantly.
