In yesterday’s issue of the Interna- tional Falls Daily Journal, the fol- lowing complimentary comment con- cerning Judge Marshall A. Spooner of this city, appears: Judge M. A. Spooner of Bemidji is spending the day in town. The judge has not been here for several months-on ac- count of the demand elsewhere upon his time,” and while he has been so busy with professional matters his friends in Bemidji (the entire citizen- ship) have about succeeded in drag- ging him into politics. He is want- ed for mayor of that-city and ac- cording to a Bemidji resident he has been selected as one of few men who could: unite the factions of the town and leave the officials free from petty matters to work for a greater Be- midji. From a distance it would ap- pear that Bemidji would be fortunate if she can induce Judge Spooner to assume the duties of the office of mayor, as he is eminently fitted for the place both by reason of his knowl- edge of public affairs and by tem- perament. The home of Mrs. B. D. Keck, at 716 North Broadway, radiated hos- pitality and splendor yesterday af- ternoon at the reception given by Mesdames Keck, Stone, Marin and Loring, to meet Mrs. J. W. Wheeler of St. Paul, Mrs. Thayer Bailey of Bemidji, and Miss Clara Poehler of Minneapolis. In the receiving line were Mesdames B. D. Keck, Jerome W. Wheeler, Charles E. Dampier, Na- than P. Stone, Thayer Bailey, Charles Loring and Miss Clara Poehler. Smilax, Killarney roses and Roman hyacinths added to the beauty of the hall and living rooms, while the din- ing room was a veritable fairyland, with a miniature fountain on the table sending sprays over a vase of pink roses up to the shaded lights over the center, then gracefully fall- ing down over pebbles and shells ar- tistically arranged over the base of the fountain, which was further dec- orated with smilax bordered with violet and white electric lights, cast- ing colored rays into the water and over a large white linen center piece. Around the center of the fountain was a grille festooned with smilax. The ladies’ light gowns and shaded lights added much to the beauty of the occasion. Mesdames O. L. Ber- tleson, G. O. Riggs, Charles Lohn, R. L. Knebel and Harry C. Evans and Misses Ethel Harris, Lucia Stone, Ella Watts, Andrea Stephens and Pauline Marin assisted the hostess. About one hundred ladies called. In the evening a buffet supper was serv- ed to the receiving ladies and their husbands.—Tuesday, Crookston Daily Times. 309 3rd Fish guano as a supplemental food for cattle, hogs and poultry is com- ing into general use in Germany. NO REASON FOR IT When Bemidji Citizens Show A Way ‘There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tor- tures of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a Bem- 1d§i citizen says: ' Mrs. P. Schoendefhan, 814 Bemidjt Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “One of the family had trouble from his back and kidneys, caused by hard work. He suffered badly from lame- mess across his loins. Whenever he stooped he could hardly get up again. Two years ago, while living in Brainerd, he was having so much trouble that he knew he had to do something. Doan’s Kidney Pills were recommended to him as the best remedy for kidney disorders and he began taking them. In_a short time he was rid of the trouble. Since then he has teken Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally and has always had quick relief. We have great faith in this remedy.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

KKK KKK KKK KKK * QUALITY OF MILK i * DEPENDS ON TREA' ****iii#ii*iiiii* ‘Washington, ‘Jan. 20.—That the quality of milk sold in our large cities depends largely upon the sort of treatment it receives from the time the farmer leaves it at the way station until it has been received at the big city milk distributing mar- ket, has been clearly established by a recent Federal investigation of the milk supply of Pittsburgh, says-the Department of Agriculture in a bul- letin just issued. It was also made clear that the excellence of a city’s milk supply de- pends importantly on constructive co- operation between the milk whole- salers and the railroads in the proper refrigeration of the cans after they are delivered for transit. As a re- sult of the investigation, Pittsburgh, instead of getting milk that on an express or freight ear got so warm in an eight or nine hours’ trip from the country to the city that cans fre- quently blew up or ‘“geysered,” is now getting a product that is put into a modern refrigerator ‘car at the country station and is kept chilled until it is delivered to the home. After some controversy, refereéd by the Department of Agriculture, be- tween shippers and dealers, a 20" per cent advance in the traffic rates on milk in the Pittsburgh district was agreed to, with approval of the In- terstate Commerce commission with the proviso that a rapid -refrigera- tion service be provided by the rail- roads in the transportation of milk. The case of Pittsburgh is fairly typi- cal of the milk situation of all the large cities of the United States, says the department, and it urges au- thorities to begin movements in their prospective districts. To prevent what promises to be an unusual amount of ‘“‘country dam- age” to cotton this year, the cotton marketing specialists of the Depart- ment of Agriculture are urging grow- ers to warehouse their cotton, or, if this is impossible, to build temporary sheds to protect it. They state that even under normal conditions of dol- lars“from what is commonly called “country damage.” Owing to the war ‘in Europe the present crop cannot be marketed readily, and an unusual large amount of cotton, they point out, is lying un- Spe Gene Begsley ...

The aggregate amount of country damage, therefore, they say, is likely this year to be far greater than usual, and in view of the fact that there ‘is such a large surplus, spinners and-exporters will unquestionably discriminate sharply and exporters will against damaged cotton. i “It is generally belfeved,” say the experts,.“that many new warehouses should be built to house the crop, but a careful investigation by the Office of Markets indicates that if all the warehouses at the ports in the in- terior and belonging to the cotton mills were used, every bale of cotton produced this year could be stored without the erection: of additional buildings. _ Emphasizing the importance of housing cotton, the specialists say: “Few individuals and and very few banks are willing to advance money on cotton when it is not properly housed and insured. Those who do so are taking a certain amount of risk and almost invariably charge higher rates of interest than the owner of the cotton need pay if his cotton is properly stored. It is also understood that no part of the $135,- 000,000 subscribed by the bankers of the country to be loaned on cotton at six per cent will be advanced on cotton which is not properly housed and stored.” Notice.
