Real Homesteaders Needed. The proposal of State Auditor Preus that homestead restrictions be placed on the sale of state lands, is inspired by a desire to encourage good faith sales to real settlers and to discourage the operations of land speculators. The proposed limit of 160 acres to a purchaser is conceived in this spirit. The real settler does not need and cannot quickly bring into productiveness more than 160 acres. Indeed, if he concentrates on a half or a quarter of that amount he will be better off, says the Minneapolis Journal. The speculators who acquire state lands with the idea of holding them till the unearned increment shall add to their value a considerable profit, are retarding state development and benefiting no one but themselves. Other restrictions, such as the re- quirement that within seven years a purchaser live on his tract for a year tain definite amount of improve- ments, are calculated to stimulate the real development of the state’s vacant areas. Mr. Preus’ sugges- tions, which have taken form in a bill, should receive effective consid- eration from the legislature.

For the first time transcontinental, and -consequently universal, = tele- phone conversation became a reality several weeks ago, when Alexander President Vail of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company in New York, talked to Thomas A. Watson in San Francisco. In a little workshop in Boston, June 2, 1875, it was Alexander Gra- ham Bell who spoke and Thomas A. ‘Watson who heard the firts message ever sent by telephone. ‘“‘Come here Watson, I want you,” were the first words ever conveyed over a wire. That wire was only sixty feet in length. The line used the other day is 3,400 miles long. A Dit of sentiment that entered in- to the celebration of the opening of the transcontinental line was that the sixty feet of wire used in the first talk in Boston was spliced ‘into the line, thirty feet of it at New York and thirty feet at San Fran- cisco. Ever since the telephone was dis- covered, America, the land of its birth, has kept the lead, using more telephones than all the rest of the world. More than twenty-one mil- lion miles of wire in this country now unite nine million telephones in 70,- 000 cities, towns and villages. All the rest of the world has less than five million telephones. In 1876 the longest telephone line in the world was from Boston to Cambridge, two miles; in 1884 it was extended to New York, 235 miles. Chicago and New York were connec- ted in 1895, and in 1911 New York could say “Hello” to Denver. In the forty years since the tele- phone was invented nearly a hun- dred types of transmitters, and nu- merous repeating instruments and other devices have been used, and discarded for something better, but it is asserted that no single discov- ery has been responsible for this la- test and greatest achievement in the telephone are. It was accomplished by gradual improvements in all equipment, by which mile by mile the distance of possible telephone communication was extended, each vear a little further, until the dream of transcontinental communication lias been realized. In the two circuits of the trans- continefital line there are approxi- mately six million pounds of copper wire, or about two hundred carloads. This wire is stretched on -130,000 poles, which, if they were loaded on railroad cars, would make twenty trains of thirty cars each. The route of the transcontinental telephone line is from New York to Pittshurgh, thence to Chicago, Da- and = Omaha. venport, Des Moines THE GERMAN WOUNDED. Berlin, Feb. 16. Sayville, L. I.) The Germans are terrifically syste- matic about their care of the wound- ed. All their men found on the bat- tlefield receive a “First aid dressing.” Each is tagged with a card, which indicates whether he is badly hurt or not. From the battlefield ' the wounded men are gotten back to the field hospitals or to headquarters. A man may be badly wounded and yet be back on the firing line in three months. Good pure blood is what helps the soldier through—his wounds heal easily after anticeptic dressings. It is well for everybody to put the blood in good order. Don’t trifile with health! it’s too precious a possession. It is trifling to neglect the little every-day kind of ailments. It is trifling, too, to take medicines of un- known or doubtful ingredients. If your stomach gets out of order, your food is not digested and, of course, (By wireless to be returned to the legislature if he supported the plan.”” Down with the Educational Trust.—Austin Tran- seript. —— President Wilson deserves com- mendation for his veto of the bill prescribing a literacy test for immi- grants. The bill was supported on the theory that illiterate immigrants were likely to come into direct com- petition with American laborers, but its proponents evidently failed to take into consideration the fact that some of our best citizens and great- est men sprang from just such stock originally. Had such a law been in force one hundred years ago it is possible that many of us would not be here at this time.—Wadena Pio- neer Journal. (Rep.) —o— The traveling. men are coming thick these days and all seem opti- mistic over the future outlook. These men are, in a way, trade barometers. ‘When they are pulled off the road, look out for a business depression not far away. When they come in numbers, it is a sign that there is something in a business way loom- ing up ahead. It never fails for they are employed by men who know futures, or think they do, which is the same thing. They must know futures to succeed in’ their business affairs. And so, the coming of the travelers in numbers can be taken as a favorable sign.—Tower News. Paris women are changing their gait, and instead of wiggling they are now back to their old habit of tripping along. your blood gets thin and you become weak, ready to be a prey to the dis- ease germs always ready to attack the run-down and theanaemic. If your liver can’t do its work, your blood becomes impure and many troubles follow. If your bowels are irregular, poisons accumulate in your body. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery (in tablet or liquid form) helps the stomach to digest food pro- perly, strengthens the liver, regu- lates the bowels. As a consequence you are vigorous, full of snap and life! Fifty years ago Dr. Pierce dis- covered that a glyceric extract of Golden Seal and Oregon grape root, | of queen’s root and bloodroot ‘with black cherry bark would aid all the digestive organs to work as Nature intended they should. Thousands have found that the “Golden Medical Discovery” he then introduced to the world has restored them to health when suffering from stomach and liver troubles.

Like soldiers on picket duty, these repair- men will 'be kept on constant vigil, night and day, in good weather and in bad, for it is advertised that. this line is soon to be opened to the pub- lic for constant. use. i It is understood that when the line is opened to the public the rate will be about $21.00 for a three-minute talk from New York to San Fran- cisco. The opening of the new transcon- tinental line will not only be dis- tinguished because of the talk of Dr. Bell and, Mr. Watson, but because that day, for the first time in history, the voice of the chief magistrate of the nation was carried direct from the seat of government in Washing- ton to the shores of the Pacific ocean. |’ That day President Wilson talked to San Francisco, sending his- con- gratulations to the 150,000 men and women in the telephone industry who made this achievement possible. President Vail was not in New York when the celebration took place, so he was called up at his| hotel on the southern coast of Flo- rida, one thousand miles below Man- hattan, from where he.talked over a line of 4,400 miles in length to Thomas A. Watson in San Francisco. The Remedy. Aviator—I don’t know the air cur- rents up there. Friend-- Then why not take a minister up with yon?
