Nord, International Falls. Instead of the Elwell road proceedings being initiated by six petition ‘signers, as now, the Nord bill would require a petition of 25 per cent of the prop- erty owners to be benefited, provid- ing this number should not be re- quired to exceed twenty-five. Changing the Constitution. If the legislature could amend the state constitution at will it probably would revise thoroughly that his- toric document every two years, is the comment of the St. Paul Dis- patch. .But being denied this power hecause of a troublesome provision in the organic act itself, put there to prevent just such tinkering, it confines its attentions to devising amendments - for submission -to the people at the next succeeding elec- tion. The 1913 legislature submitted eleven amendments. But one was approved. This year nearly a score of bills proposing constitutional changes have been introduced. In view of the experience at the 1914 election many of the legisla- tors believe that amendments should be made easier. It now requires a majority of all the votes cast at an election to approve a constitutional change. Others are proposing that the people be asked to call a con- vention to revise the constitution from top to bottom. Changes may be needed, but there does not seem to be any great popu- lar clamor for them. At past elec- tions amendments concededly merit- orious, and sufficiently advertised to become understood, have been ap- proved under the present system. Some perhaps equally good have fallen short of- a majority. Others of little consequence and some that might be classed as ill-advised, ini- quitous or dangerous have also been defeated. .Had it been easier to amend probably all would have pass- ed, good, bad and indifferent alike. That was the experience when a ma- Jority of all those voting on an amendment prevailed. It is dangerous to.tinker with the constitution and the legislature should go slow. The state may have outgrown some of the provisions, but it is perhaps better to worry along with the present organic act for a while at least until other states have ascertained whether the government- al experiments they are making are a success.

We have always advocated that a land speculator who holds his lands until some farmer comes alongside him:and digs out a home and then adds another five an acre to his holdings, is entitled to help the farmer pay his taxes. ' The farmer by his industry is taxed ac- cordingly. The land speculator pulls his feet down off the top of his roll- top desk and makes a thousand or so clean dollars simply by the scratch of a pen. He creates a value he had no hand in producing. A twist of. the wrist and the deed is done.. .Not so with the homesteader. The specu- lator should be taxed according to the price he puts on his land. He = |ought 'to be square with the man who makes the speculators’ land valuable.—Tower News. more KKK H KKK KKK KX *‘ BELGIAN -GOVERNMENT * AT NICE-HAVRAIS * ***l{kiiki#fill‘l*‘ (By William G. Shiepherd.) Havre, France.—(By Mail to New York.)—Squeezed into a little su- burb, known as Nice-Havrais, is the Belgian government. In the house onee occupied by a rich German shipper, the Belgian war départment carries on its busy affairs. In an- other mansion, deserted by a Ger- man, the foreign office holds sway and on the second floor of a long line of store buildings most of the other departments. have their temporary offices. France has turned over this little spot to Belgium. Nice-Havrais is not French soil, but Belgian, and it will remain so by the promise of France until the king of Belgium rides again into Brussels. It is the Belgian postoffice that is the most interesting spot in this lit- tle Belgium. The French postmaster moved out, bag and baggage, when the Belgians came and the Belgian department of posts and telegraphs took it over. The telegraph business amounts to a little, but in the matter of posts this little office probably holds all world’s records for its size. It is a paradise for postage stamp collectors. They besiege the place, from the opening to the closing hour. They come from all parts of the coun- tries of the allies. Some of them live at a nearby hotel and day after day they repair to the little postoffice and buy stamps of all dominations which they affix to postal cards and thrust into the letter slots. It strikes an onlooker—especially one who is not a victim of the post- age stamp craze—as a gruesome busi- ness, this matter of making the Bel- gian ill wind blow well for them- selves, but this is a thought that ap- pears to have struck neither the good- looking young Belgian fellow with the brown mustache, who presides at the stamp window. They have batch- es of stamps including one of every domination—ready for any person whio comes up-and-says; “Give me all of them.” 3 Madama Romaine, who keeps the cafe at the corner nearby, is making a small fortune in picture postal cards: It is to her that the stamp collectors go for cards to stick their stamps on. The collectors say that stamps which are placed on letters are never so clearly and thoroughly cancelled as are those which are filed to the hard surface of cards, and the cancelling marks make all the dif- ference in the value of a postage stamp, from the collector’s view- point. Three men work at cancelling in the Belgian postoffice at Havre, and Webster's RUBa little of it in- to Baby’s skin after thedaily bath. 1find it just fine for preventing chafing and soreness and for cooling the skin.” Mothers often tell us that, when buying Webster's Toilet Cream - the vanishing cream of snowy whiteness and purity.

Also, because we know that its manufacturers have for 50 years been famous for the scrupulous purity and unusually high quali- ty of all their products.

It'sone of the few stamps that. will tell the history of the great.war. There’s only one stamp that the war has made valuableras this Havre stamp:and that is the Belgian, with a German cancellation on. it:: -For a while after they entered Belgium the Germans permitted .the use of Bel- gian stamps but. now, I understand, only German stamps are used in that territory.” John - Ball Osborne, the American consul at Havre, - receives scores of requests weekly from mysterious per- sons in the United States who want him to write them a letter or a pos- tal card, and it doesn’t matter what he writes, they explain, so lang as the missive card carries a Belgian stamp. Mr. Osborne suspects such persons of being:stamp collectors and he is particularly suspicious of let- ters addressed to him in schoolboy handwriting. A round trip to the Belgian post- office from Havre means a journey of fives miles in an automobile— which, in Mr. Osborne’s case—he be- ing only a consul, means a taxicab. Napoleon. a.Good Reader. Napoleon not ouly read a great deal, but read with profit. His memory: was extraordinary.

When, at the end of ten days, 1 recovered my freedom I was saturated -with Justinian and the Ro- man legal -decisions.” Napoleon add- ed that the old book was covered with || marginal notes—so, much so that he could not have been idle if his im. prisonment had “lasted a century.” Russia has a woman aviator who has been sent to the front for active duty.
