In November fire destroyed the three story brick Rex hotel. A part of the walls are still standing but it is understood that the debris will be cleared and a new building erected carly in the coming year. In February the city was host to a teachers’ convention which brought in several hundred teachers and many outside speakers of state and even national prominence. Early in the summer a meeting of the State Fire Prevention association was held here and much done toward cleaning up the bad fire risks here. In June, University week was a big attraction and both Duluth and the twin ecity trade specials made stops here. Business houses in Bemidji gener- ally report an increase in trade over 1911 and the prospect for a “better than ever” year in 1913 appears to be first class. The mills are planning double time sawing seasons, a box factory employing over 100 hands has been added to the city’s indus- tries, and the wholesale houses, as well as manufacturers, are preparing for a big year.

One of these maps and guides may be obtained from the chief clerk of the postoffice department at Wash- ington for seventy-five cents. A Des Moines man had an attack of muscular rheumatism in his shoul- der. A friend advised him to go to Hot Springs. That meant an expense of $150.00 or more. He sought for a quicker and cheaper way to cure it and found it in Chamberlain’s Lin- iment. Three days after the first ap- plication of this liniment he was well.

Of various publications there were printed during the year 34,678,657 copies, 10,409,000 of which were far- mers’ bulletins. ‘Washington, Dec. 31.—The United States is by far Brazil’s best custom- er, according to Consul General Jul- ius G.

Great Britain took fifteen per cent of the total export business of Brazil during the same period. Washington, Dec. 31.—More than 100 varieties of strawberries now grow in Alaska, agricultural experi- mental stations of the department of agriculture made public here today. Because of the climatical condi- tions in Alaska it was a hard problem at first to get strawberries to thrive, but by hybridizing cultivated varie- ties with pollen from the wild native Alaska strawberry, of the coast re- gion, splendid results were obtained. The most remarkable feature about these hybrid plants is that they were decidedly more vigorous than either parent, yielding more, growing larger, and seeming suited to almost any climate in the territory. In connection with the growing of apples the experts in Alaska wrote that only trees with crab apple blood produced fruit. An apple is being made to hybridize the crab apple An Honest Druggist Often Gives Good Advice It gives me great pleasure to take this method of thanking you for what Kilmer’s Swamp-Root has done for my wife and at the same time to cheerfully recommend it to all suf- ferers from kidney trouble. ¥ wite had suffered terribly from kidney disease and had tried all kinds of patent medicines with no success, until a druggist recommend- ed Swamp-Root.
