A Word To the Wives Is Sufsicient After everything has been said that can be said on the subject of women’s rights, all true women feel no matter what their politi- cal ideas may be, that their first and most important duty is the thrifty and business-like manage- ment of their households. The question of pure foods is very much before the public at the present time, and every housekeep- er is desirous of having on hér table foods stuffs that are as nu- tritious and as little adulterated as it is possible to procure.

Bemidji has secured the normal school, the commission voting it to that city. Cass county extends con- gratulations, It put up a good fight and won on its merits. Our only re- gret is that Bemidji insn’t in Cass County.—Wolker Pilot. Our Citizens Blush Bemidji gets the new state normal school, and we extend our heartiest congratulations. We did what little we could on the boosting project, and ever since we saw that site while we were attending the annual outing of the Northern Minnesota Editorial As- soaiation, we have been enthusiastic supporters of Bemidji in the struggle We can only say that so far as we are concerned Bemidji is just about the best little city on the map.— Grand Rapids Independent. Bemidji Gets It The city of Bemidji and also the State of Minnesota is to be congrat- ulated on the selection of Bemidji as the city in which the Sixth Nor- mal school is to be located. “Bemidji is perhaps the most beau- tifully located small city in the state The site donated by the Bemidji townsite Company for the school is the most beautiful of the many beau- tiful sites that are characteristic of that city. Bemidji is also a city where the morals of the hundreds of young people who will receive their train- ing for school teaching in such a school will be carefully guarded, and where they will receive all the en- couragement and inspiration to the best things.—International Falls Press, KK KKK KKK KKK KKK KK x SPUR. 5 KKK KKK KK KKK KKK KK Miss Josie Dodge entertained a number of her friends last Saturday evening, a few games were played af- ter which a light luncheon was ser- ved. There was a large crowd at church last Sunday. We hope the people will continue to come the way they have the last few times. The Misses Pearle and Maragret Condon -came up last Saturday even- ing.

The State Board of Immigra- tion of Minnesota is conducted by men who are going about the big work of settling Minnesota in a live way. The immigration board is also an information bureau. It is run by men who are earnestly endeavoring to attract the right kind of settlers. They are advertising the state’s farm land as farm land—not as one- crop gardens that reduce farming to the pleasant pastime of lotus eating and coupon clipping. Farming is re- presented as a business and not as an ideal form of recreation. “There are 19,000,00 acres of de- There are so many attractions about camping as means of enjoying one’s vacation that it is almost in a class by itself, especially in the com- paratively newer parts of the country and in older parts also there are many thousands who enjoy this form of recreation. Its greatest advan- tage over the summer resort is that one can go into the wilder and less frequented country, and need not be tied to the neighborhood of settled communities. It is true there are some disadvantages; but to the ex- perienced camper these do not count. There is a lot of work to be done, there are some discomforts to be met with; but these are outweighed by the pleasure and the freedom experi- enced. One thing is absolutely essential to the successful camp,—water There must be a stream nearby or a lake at the tent door, and a spring for drinking water is necessary. And there should be woods, for shade and to furnish that air mystery and pri- vacy that adds so much to the plea- sure of camp life. After the first ex- perience one has a pretty good idea of the necessities of this form of out- ing—a good tent, with fly to keep off rdin and sun, bedding, provisions, cooking equipment, boat or canoe to explore the neighboring water. First of all, after the start, is the choos- ing of the camp site which should be open enough and high enough to keep it free from dampness. An ideal site is a level knoll top, sloping at the back to the woods and in front to- ward the lake shore. When once the tent is pitched, bedding of green pine boughs installed, and the daily rout- ine established campers’ can settle down to pure enjoyment. The days are free of care and the nights exhilarating, and it is no won- der that appetite, sleep, and good health are the rewards. There are long tramps by day, or canoe trips to distant waters, fishing or hunt- ing to supply the larder with fresh meat. . Then the evenings around the campfire—they are compensation for many times the work and trouble. The night air is chilly, and sweaters are brought into use. Seated on logs or rough chairs, you watch, and list- en to the pleasant crackling of these days. Mrs. Roy Elliott and Mrs Thorson called on Mrs. Jas Wynne one day re- cently. ‘Wynne school, Dist, No. 97, voted to have seven months school in each of their two school houses. August Stenlund was elected clerk. Dist. No. 132 voted to have eight months school in center of district if possible and have two rigs convey the chil- dren to school. The following of- ficers were elected Isak Erikson and and Halvor. Annonson one year. G. A. Hayes and Ole Staffne two years Henry Oslund and Carl -Josefson three years.

Minnesota is not empha- sizing the high spots;, which is the wisest policy. The jmmigration board has general statistics to offer, but there are few suggestions of the get-rich-quick variety. This official advertising and boosting board is lo- cated at St. Paul and it yearns to get the ear of the landseeker. There is no doubt that the gentlemen who conduct the board have a lot of in- teresting information on tap. “When a public service organiza- Mrs. Frank Bernier is cooking at a camp at Siding 1.

The same endorsement By some stranger far away Commands no belief at all. Here’s a Bemidji case. A Bemidji citizen testifies. Read and be convinced. P. M. Dicaire, prop. grocery store, 1101 Irvin Ave, Bemidji, Minn., says: “The statement I gave about Doan’s Kidney Pills some years ago, holds good. Thebenefit they brought me has been permanent. I took this remedy for painsin my back and oth- er symptoms of kidney trouble and it proved its merit by making me well.” Mr. Dicaire is only one of many Bemidji people Who-have gratefully endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills; If your back aches—if your kidneys bother you, don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that The Mesdames Hayes called on Mrs Wm Jallen' last Tuesday after- noon, i Carl Winger and John Anderson are busy plowing for winter ry tlon of this kind does not bear too heavily on the loud pedal it is worth lstening to,”—The County Gentle- men, Mr. Dicaire had—the remedy backed by home testimony.
