B. CARSON. B. X. DENU. WAROLD J. DANE, Nditor. Beltrami is Satisfied. Beltrami county is satisfied with ‘the congressional reapportionment passed by the legislature at the last minute. The interests of Beltrami are not with the iron ore counties of the Eighth but with the agricultural and timber counties to the south of us. As constituted, the Sixth district] runs from Baudette to St. Cloud through the center of the state. The interests of the north end of the dis- trict are closely allied and a combina- tion can easily be effected whereby Beltrami county will in the future have some voice in the nomination. of a congressman. Congressman Lind- ‘bergh, of Little Falls, is at present congressman of the Sixth and he is a progressive of the substantial sort. Road House Bill Failed. The O’Neill road house bill met an untimely death in the senate Wednes- day night. The bill had been passed by both houses and sent to a confer- ence.. The conference report was ac- cepted by the house and the bill. was sent to the senate about midnight. Opponents of the measure put! through the motion to adjourn when friends had asked for a call of the senate to bring in absentees. The first O’Neill bill was. a good one and the people of the north will hope that Mr. O’Neill will persist in the future until the measure is pass- ed. Cutting the Corners. Several men in Bemidji are trying] to bring their lawns to a condition wherein they will reflect creditably upon the owner. They find this im- possible, however, because portions of them are used as short cuts by per- sons who have not the time nor in- clination to follow the sidewalks. ‘The property owners have put up fences and signs but to no avail. Cutting corners saves a second or two of. time but the act is the ear mark of the small town. ‘If some Be- midji people will use a little care and be more thoughtful, others will be able to repair spoiled lawns and pre- sent ones which will be a pride to the city as well as the owners. - The sec- onds saved cutting corners are usual- ‘ly lost elsewhere. They and the loss in self respect can never be regained. War Cloud Appears. i Europe today is in the shadow of | a war cloud. - Montenegro, the little country on the Adriatic, has stirred up trouble which threatens the foun-! dations of the international pesce.? Montenegro went ahead and captured Scutari from the Turks in defiance of the order of the powers to let Scutari ! alone. Now Austria-Hungary sends a note to the powers saying “Take! Scutari from Montenegro at once or ‘we will do it ourselves.” Montenegrb has replied that Scutari is Montene- grin henceforth. The excitement the exchange of notes has stirred up is more intense than any since the start of the Bal-| kan-Turkish war. Should Austria: try to force Montenegro’s positiui:l,»it is highly probable that Italy and per- haps some of the Balkan states will come to her aid as they are common enemies of Austria. The diplomats may be able to solve the question and : 8o avoid a show of arms but there has been a general peace in western Europe so long that certaih "of fhe countries are thirsting for another; war. Clean Up. Back Yards. The Crookston Times has the fol-| lowing editorial on the value of clean back yards: “A Boston man once remarked that you could always tell the diflerence’ between a New Yorker and‘one of his own townsmen by the way they black- ed, their boots. The New Yorker blacked them all around, while the “-Boston man never touched the heels, afrayed decadence. | “Years ago, when high tight fences looked at him from behind. : “Whether or not the foregoing cri- ticism was just to Beantown, it fair- their backyards, When the rage for elaborate and angular houses was at its height a few years ago, someone remarked that ‘the popular house fronts were of the Queen Ann style, while the rear, with its garbage pails and ash heaps, was Mary Ann. “Most people who live in individual houses keep their front yards in pret- ty good condition nowadays, just. as MWOsK people wash their ' faces and hair. But their feeling about the back yard is like the Boston man and his boots. “In a country village or settled sub- urban distirct, the back yard. is al- ‘most as.conspicuous as the front. - No matter how many geranium and hyad- rangeas you put next the side walk, if you have ash barrels, garbage pails, and unsightly chicken coops at the rear, the whole place wears an air of were the rule, a man, was king over his own dominions. If he preferred to be sloven no one was offended ex- cept such neighbors as looked out of the second story windows. “The modern American town is tak- ing down its fences and turning itself into a park. One tousled back yard throws its blot of frowsiness over a whole neighborhood, discouraging neatnes sand impairing real estate values.” Look lito the Future, While swatting the fly do not neg- lect to swat the breeding place of the fly, the home where he rears his nu- merous progeny. By overlooking' the breeding place you make it possible for the fly that you do not swat to increase and multiply faster than you can pos- sibly kill off the coming generations. SIMPLE ADDITION. Filth and stagnant water breed flies and mosquitoes. Flies and mosquitoes breed death and dis- ease. See the point? FRECKLES Now is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots. There’s no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as a new prescription oth- ine—double strength—has 'been dis; covered that is guaranteed to remove these homely spots. Simply get an ounce of othine— double strength—from your druggist and apply a little of it night and morning and you should soon see that even the worst freckles have begun to disappear, while the lighter ones have vanished entirely, It is seldom that more than an ounce is needed to completely clear the skin and gain a beautiful clear complexion. Be sure to ask for the double strength othine as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove freckles.—Adv.
