THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GEMERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES The fair is better than fair this year, it is excellent. The best of everything is out at the fair grounds today, even to the pretty girls. That's some smile secretary Sch- "~ yoeder is wearing around at the Fair grounds, Here’s hoping it will never come off. Blackduck is leadifig the way as a modern little city in this section, when it comes to sewage disposal. They have just completed the instal- lation of a new septic tank. It’s mod- ern in every respect and Bemidji ‘will do well to follow in its foot- steps. We congradulate you, Black- duck. 75 Next Tuesday The “Empire Builder” of the worthwest, James J. Hill, U. 8. A. will be 75 years young next Tues- day, September 16. At this ripe old age he is still going ahead undis- turbed by new conditions, new laws and new ‘blood. He never has a doc-; tor, because he needs none. He eats wht, he likes and works on and on ‘without end. Hill may live to be onei hundred. “May he live to he a- hun- dred.” When The Devil Got Sick To wait the conpetition of muni- cipal ownership before conducting a privately owned public utility pro- perly is a dangerous procedure. Pro- bably it was the only procedure left to the San Francisco Street Rail- road Company. But it was the strongest argument of the effective- ness of municipal ownership that could be made. It has that feature in addition to its proof that when a utility goes in for politics and violates its con- tracts, it is almost impossible for it to regain the people’s confidence. The San Francisco incidents should have their value to public utility companies elsewhere. Perhaps the knowledge that the people can protect themselves will be sufficient without the actual resort to- public ownership. If the day is near whefi ~all public utility service will pass from private to public ownership and operation, the private interests will have only themselves to blame. The change will be made in spite of the public’s fear of politics in muni- <ipal service. It will come, if it does come, because interested manage- ment has forced the alternative.— Kansas City Times. i No Complaint to Make. It was at the vaudeville. The girl ‘with the excruciatilig voice had just Bnished her song. “Just think!” groaned Brown to rhe stranger beside him. “We paid real ‘money to hear that!" “1 didn't.” was the placid response. *Came in on a ‘comp.’" * “But you had to spend car fare to get here, did you not?" asked Brown. “Nope.” replied the nncomplaining ope. "I live in' walking distance.” “But,” persisted Brown desperately, “at least you hoped to be entertained, not punished.” d “No. 1 didn’t care.” grinned the stranger. “I came to get away from ‘home.

RATTLED THE BANDIT. Curious Experience With a Band of Mexican Cutthroats. Everybody in Mexico goes about arm- ‘ Analyzing a' Name. ‘When Poincares, the famous mathe- matician, was formally received into the French academy Frederic Masson in welcoming him gave the desirable mathematical tinge to his address by questioning the correctness of the name. Geometrically, he said, the no- tion of a square point was intolerable. Therefore it’ was obvious that “point carre” could not have been the true derivation of the name. It must have been “pont carre.” The philologists took M. Masson seriously and began poking around in their musty records for a better original source than either “point carre” or ‘“pont carre.” And they soon found it in the ‘person of Petrus Pugniquadrati, a student of rec- ord in the year 1403. Furthermore, in 1418 a French namesake of Pugniquad- rati appeared in the person of one Jehan Poingquarre. From all of which it seemed plain that the original Poin- cares were not square points, but clenched fists.—New York Post. Dust |n Flour Mills. It has been many years since there nas been an explosion of flour Aust re- sulting in serious loss of life and great property damage. This is due to the fact that millers have learned more about the explogive nature of finely powdered material, and the former carelessness in providing receptacles for the dust has been succeeded by a system of dust catching and disposal which makes a flour mill perfectly safe from this danger. In old fashioned milling rhethods flour dust was turned into a room provided for the purpose, but large quantities were allowed to accumulate on the mill floor and be come digtributed over the machinery, When these deposits were disturbed ; the atoms floated about in the atmo- sphere, creating danger from fire and making it difficult for workmen to breathe. Asthma frequently resulted from this condition, and incipient ex- plosions were not infrequent.—North- ‘western Miller, “Bob White” Likes Music. A baby quail was captured and brought to the house. The large cage provided for him stood upon a square of oficloth, and this was little .Bob ‘White's ranch.

He had to make a reconnois- sance of a mountain range called the Sierra Gorda, said to be infested with cutthroats. He was warned to let the | ] district alone, but duty prevalled, and he went. When reaching a rancho near the summit at sundown he and his attendant were met by four men whose law breaking propensities re- quired no further introduction than |y their faces. They took hold of the party’s horses, told the engineer and his attendant to dismount and made no effort to conceal the fact that they were there for business. The engineer complied smilingly, and, going up to the leader, mystified that individual by asking him to step aside. “I am told that it is unsafe to travel in these mountains,” he whispered, “will you not therefore oblige me by taking care of my property and allow us to remain under your roof untfl morning.” With that he handed over his watch, money and other things, .': and the astonished thief. who was probably for the first time in his life treated to the novelty of being trust- ed, not only let the engineer have the best in his house, but handed him back his property in the morning and fur- nished him with two cutthroats to serve as an escort during the rest of his journey.—Max T.

The helmsman steers by the compass, and while a single degree of deviation appears very small on the compass card it would, if continued, carry a fast steamship four miles out of her course in a single day’s run. Yet the compass gives the course more accu- rately than the ship can be steered. Owing to the deflecting power of the waves and the rolling of the ship, the course is- continually - shifted a little this way and that despite the helm.— Harper’'s Weekly.

The savings in parts-makers’ profits make possible the extra value—the high quality, the addition of $1800-car features. \ The reason for the second economy is the light weight, the low fuel consumption producing ample power for all requirements and the mechanical ex- cellence which practically eliminates repair bills, 20 to 21 miles on a gallon of gasoline is not uncom- mon and eight to ten thousand miles on one set of tires is the rule rather than the exception. To sum up, the K-R-I-T is the car that gives you verfect service continuously at lowest cost. ‘When we selected the K-R-I-T from the dozens of lines offered us, it was our judgment, ripened by 13 years’ experience 'in selling automobiles in the Northwest, that told us, after searching investiga- tions that it 18 the one best bet in $900 cars. features of cars the maintenance its class.
