It was the busy hour of 4 When from a city hardware store Emerged a gentleman who bore 1 hoe, 1 spade, 1 wheelbarrow. From thence our hero promptly went Into a seed establishment And for these spent: 1 peck of bulbs, 1 job lot of shrubs, 1 quart of assorted seeds. He has a garden under way And if he's fairly lucky, say, He’ll have about the last of May 1 squash vine, 1 egg plant, 1 radish. things his money —The National. Good Advertising. An excursion which brings 300 people to a city the size of Bemidji is good advertising. Those who came from Thief River and other towns along the Soo line yesterday went home impressed with the idea that Bemidji is alive and that the people here are good sportsmen. Fortunately, both ball games were so close that there can be no quarrel || over that feature of the day. Not a little credit is due to the members of the band for the way in which they braved the rain yesterday afternoon. For half an hour, they stood in the street defying the ele- ments and hurling trumpet blasts of defiance at the gods of wind and rain. Several of the visitors were heard to say that if the band represented the spirit of Bemidji, 1t must be a good town. The train brought in close to 300 people and the paid admissions to the games were 600, indicating that the home people enjoy a game also. It the business men of Bemidji will get behind the ball club, efforts will be made to run other excursions into the city. Penny Postage Publicity. Nearly nine billion pieces of first class matter were carried by the post office department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, according to careful estimates just made public by James J. Britt, third assistant post master general at Washington. Of the total, over seven billion pieces were letters and nearly two billion pieces were post cards. The grand total was 8,843,577,754 in- dividual pieces. One of the interesting deduetiana made by Britt is the fact that over eighteen million dollars was collect- ed on past cards, the weight of which was a little over ten million pounds only., This amount was just over double the total reveniie received from 951,000,000 pounds of second class mail matter produced. This latter was ninety-five times as much in weight and furnished less than $9,000,000. At the present rate, the depart- ment is receiving on first class mail a revenue of over 84c per pound, equal to $1680 per ton, thus making a profit of 66%. First class mail supplies less than 14% of the total tonnage of the mails, yet it pays 76% of the total revenue. In 1910, 8,310,623,000 pieces of first class mail were carried by the post office department. The cost of handling and carriage according to Post Master General Hitchcock was $96,762,611.35. The revenue col- lected was $154,786,668.08, leaving a clear profit to the government of $58,004,1566.73. The total amount of first cldss mail carried in 1911 amounted to about 533,000,000 pieces more than in 1910. On this first class mail the government is making over $62,000,- 000 a year in profits. Because of these enormous profits, the business men o fthe country have formed the National One Cent Letter Postage ds- soeiation, which is conducting a cam- paign for a lower. postngov rate.—Ex. 1690—Francis Nicholson, former- ly governor of New York, appointed governor of Virginia. 1769—Transit of Venus success- fully observed by the American Phil- osophical society at a temporary ob- servatory in the State House yard in Philadelphia. 1770—Mission and presidio of San Carlos at Monteray, Cal., founded. 1808—TJefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, born in Christian county, Ky.

In his youth his Majesty was known as Prince George of Wales. He entered the navy as a cadet in 1877 and dur- ing the years that he followed a naval career he visited nearly all parts of the world." In 1891 the death of his elder brother, the Duke {of Clarence, made Prince George heir presumptive to the throne. Shortly after the accession of his father, King Edward VII, Prince George, then was married to Princess Victoria Mary “of Teck. The royal couple have six children, five sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Prince Edward of Wales, will be eighteen years old this month. He is being trained for a naval career after the example of his father. Congratulations to: ‘ Paul M.
