Two Good Men Named. That the voters of the Fourth and than can possibly be imagined by people here i the United States. One o1 the-most important results of this expedition was the pushing of [tue tree line much favther mnorth.| Many scientista claimed that there were no trees nearer the Arctic ocean but Mr. Stefansson found them grow- ing witain ten miles of the"Polar sea. In the talk last night . the speaker also gave some very Inte):estlng facts regarding the religion of the natives. Christianity has only been prevalent there for a few years, and the natives have not yet learned why they-do cer- tain things, but hey are very earnest Lin their beliefs. They do not, how- ever, go far enough in some cases, and too far in others. Their religion is practically composed of a number of prohibitions, and if they refrain from one thing that is bad, they do something else that is just as bad, but they do not know it. For instance, the missionaries told them. that it is wrong to use their fish nets on Sun- day, but nothing was said about the use of hooks, and the. natives fish with nets’ during the week and use hooks on Sunday. Fifth districts made no mistake in selecting as their representatives on the county board, Messrs. Lennon and Tuompson, is gelf-evident. Their work at the first session of the board has already demonstrated that they are men truly representative, They are men of conviction, courage, judgment and ability. They are men who work for their constituents and at all times have the interest-of the county at heart. They are men who consider service to the people their Jjust duty. They believe in the econ- omical distribution of the county’s tunds and to secure for it all that the dollar will buy. Both are thorough, well trained business men, and will command the highest respect of the citizens of their county and other members of the board, ~ England to Own Phones. A recent dispatch from England would indicate that the British are making more advancement in govern- ment ownership of public utilities than are the United States. Following is the dispatch: = The British government is to pay to the National Telephone company of the United Kingdom the sum of $62,576,320 for its property, accord- ing to a decision reached by the rail- way and canal commission sitting as a court of arbitration. The whole of the telephone system in the British isles passed into the hands of the state on Jan. 1, 1912. The National Telephone company ori- ginally asked $105,000,000 for its in- terest, but during the seventy-three day trial just ended this claim was reduced by many millions. 1t had been expected by stock ex- change experts, however, that the company would receive from $80,- 000,000 to $90,000,000. The stock of the company immediately upon announcement of the award fell from *141 to 109. The arbitration has been one of the most important in the history of the country. During the trial the parties came to an agreement as to the cost of the plant, the sum being $51,668,625. The court then had to decide the percentages ~which should properly be added to that sum and also the depreciation. Interesting Sidelights. In his lecture in Grand Forks on Monday night, V. Stefanson, arctic explorer, brought out some side lights on Eskimo life which may be interesting to Bemidji readers. The following paragraphs are taken from the Grand Forks Herald: A trip of 400 miles to get some ‘matches was one of the many inter- esting experieficefi in the tarvnorth which were related by V. Stefansson, the now iamous Arctic explorer, in his lecture at the - university last night. It took him all summer to get to a store, he said, and then he had to spend the winter in Alaska . be- cause it was too cold to return. This trip alone cost the party $4,000 and a lot of valuable time. Another interesting thing that the lecturer spoke of was the agriculture tnat is carried on up here. Most peo- ble have the idea that there. is noth- ing but hardship and cold there, but Mr. Stefansson stated that grain and Dotatoes are grown as far as 1,800 miles north of ‘Edmonton. - In the summer time’the thermometer goes as high as 106 degrees above Zefo and in the winter it never falls much lower than 50 below. The speaker claims that the winter there is much more welcone there than the summer on atcount of the mosquitoes which > Q_kn more'numrouj and troublesome KX K KKK KKK K KKK KKK * SAUM SCHOOL NOTES. x IR R E L R R R R R In spite of coming just after the holidays and of being very cold, the attendance at school last week was excellent.

Baden, Ind., says: “l1 wasa complete wreck, always tired, worn out and nervous: I had to spend about one-third of my time in bed and my life . was not worth living. - Vinol, your delicious cod liver ad iron tonic was recom- mended, and ' it lias done me more good than all the —medicine I ever. took in my life. That nervous and tired feeling is all gone. I have gained in health, flesh and strength, until ¥ feel like-another person.” Vinol is the most efficient strength creator for such women. It is the medicinal elements of the cod’s livers contained i vinol aided by the blood making and strengthening properties of tonic iron which makes it so far superior to all other tonics to build up health and strength for weak, tired, ailing women.

Almost every one knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural col- or and lustre to the hair when fad- ed, streaked or gray; also cures dand- ruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this petter than ourselves. By asking at any drug store for the ready-to-use product—called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy”—you will get a large bott for about fifty cents.
