FLOODS SHOULD BE CONTROLLED (Continued from first page). fall. It is sometimes only a question of preventing land from becoming wet by retusing to allow rainfall to delay. Swamps and wet lands were all part of Nature’s scheme for drainage. Each acted as.a reservoir. swamps cannot be replaced, drainage cannot be undone; in fact drainage is one of the greatest achievements of a phenomenaly * progressive people. Our steadily increasing millions of people must be fed and the wet lands, the meadows, swamps and woodlands must be put to broad uses. If the natural state of the watersheds cannot be reattained, the remaining natural function, the rivers, must be altered to meet the natural condi- tions. Waters Must Be Contmlled Levee building alone will not suf- fice, as the flood heights are contin- ually increasing. Only by controlling waters, not by combating them after they reach the flood stage, will our floods be prevented. Chief Hydrographer M. O.. Leigh- ton has often proclaimed the feasib- ility of controlling floods at the “head waters” by holding the water in nat- ural reservoirs and let it slowly into the rivers for final release. These ideas are further upheld by the New- lands-Bartholdt . River Regulation Bill introduced in congress two years ago, calling for fifty millions a year for ten years for the full and‘complete regulation and development of our inland waterways. This, then, seems to be the solu- tion: First, deepen the rivers for navigation purposes, which will also increase their capacity for flood uses. In increasing and maintaining a depth, corrective works, such as bank revetments and current-moving dams must be erected. The second thing would be to regulate the flow of rivers a stable flow for navigation and wat- er power aiding the rivers in taking care of the flood waters. Levees should be added as a last step to pro- tect lands lower than the river banks. LATE LOCALS. M. J. Connelly has been promoted to night yard master on the M. & L Al Kaiser and E. H.

You know what happens in a house in which the plumbing is in poor condition—everybody in the house is liable to contract typhoid or some other fever. The digestive organs perform the same functions in the human body as the plumbing does for the house, and they should be kept in first class condition all the time.

The name means ‘folding bed” and woz oris- inally spelled “Beaudete.” The “e” was dropped in 1902 when J. L. Wil- liams was postmaster. The custom officers had a seal made made and the engraver mis-spelled the name. Postmaster Wiliiams then petitiored that the postoffice be given the same ncme as the cistom office and it has remained Baudette to this day. Baudette was first incorporated as a vilage in March 1906. What is now known as ‘new’” Soponer was in- cluded. in the village limits of East Baudete. It was found that the vil- lage had been illegally incorporated when it crossed a meandered stream 80 it was re-incorporated in Novem- ber 1906. Cough Medicine for Children.

Starting with electric lights, electric starter, electric exploring light, electric horn, demountable rims, with one extra, top, windshield, and speedometer, down to the smallest refinement you can think of. these cars rise head and shoulders above the level of moderate priced car value as usually found. This promience wasn’t attained in a month or ayear. It hastaken ¢ d some time to forge to this position in the lead. Being able to give you - all that they do for your money shows that the I'litchell company has % ability of a new kind. The aim has been for years. to ““give the most for your money.” At the same time what they want to give and have always counted on giving, in value, equipment and looks, is the BEST. In these 1913 Mitchell cars the factory feels that they have reached Judge for yourself. Is there anything better than the Berdon elec- tric lighting and starting system? “Bosch high tension magneto stands alone among magnetos. Timken bearings in front axles are the best that can be had. Ten inch Turkish upholstry gives that distinctive - . air and that unusual comfort heretofore fqund on high priced cars only. Nickel mountings show refinement in a dignified and yet most noticeable way; the design of the cars is a sprightly combination of the French and American—the French for grace, dash and ‘‘at- mosphere,”’ the American for strength and sturdiness. The result is something new and pleasing to the eye. As for comfort, the;e cars are the peers of any, no matter what the price.
