That this city should feel grate- ful to Representative L. G. Pender- gast for his work in securing the pas- sage of a bill appropriating $25,000 for the building of the normal school here, is the belief of Farley A. Dare, editor of the Walker Pilot, and a fellow-legislator of the Bemidji man. In its current issue the Pilot says: “The Northern Minnesota delega- tion in the legislature took consider- able pleasure in backing up Repre- sentative Pendergast of Bemidji, .in his hard fight for a normal school appropriation for that thriving little city. ‘““The representative arrived at the capitol each morning with his sleeves rolled up (under his coat) to work for this imstitution, and his fund of every ready ammunition had telling ‘efleet on, the house members, fully e ? two-third$ of whom’ were ready to stand for a mueh more liberal appro- priation than the senate would agree to. “Po Mr. Pendergast, Bemidji “should feel extremely grateful, while as to the other northern legislators, they desire no greater commenda- tion than to be credited with work- ing with a fellow-legislator who was at all times bubbling over with tact and diplomacy, facts and figures, and all other requisites necessary to get! a nice juicy plum from a supposedly barren tree.” Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. ‘Winfield 8. Hammond, governor of Minnesota, in an official proclama- tion requests that tomorrow, Mother’s day, be observed -appropriately. Gov- ernors of nearly all the states have issued similar proclamations. “In accordance with well estab- lished custom, and in recognition of the important part the mothers of. our children have in the development of the future citizens of our country and in the preservation of our sacred institutions, I, Winfield S. Hammond, governor of Minnesota, do hereby designate Sunday, May 9, as Mother's day, and urge its observance by ap- propriate exercises to show oqur ap- preciation of what the mothers have done towards upbuilding the state and the nation.” All over the United States and Canada preparations are being made today for sermons. to be preached and for special respect and reverence to be accorded to the mothers of the| Tand on Sunday.

The author, “4342,” by which iden- tification alone he appears, has at-’ tempted nothing sensational in the recital of his experiences behind the to the story more than is necessary. Rather does he tell his story from the standpoint of the interested ob- server . who may have special oppor- tunities for inside ideas of points on which the general public is, and al- curious. "t The only distinctive partisan atti- tude taken by ‘“4342” is against the indeterminate sentence, which, he says results in untold and unneces- sary misery from suspense and worry and on points of certain traditional details of prison routine such as the rule of silence and the attitude of some of the prison guards and keep- ers toward the prisoners in their care. Sevéral chapters-are devoted to de- tailed description of prison regula- tions regarding punishments, cell ac- commodations, food, clothing, labor, school, recreation, etc., and with thirty pages of -illustrations of the in and outside of the old and new prisons. “Thru the Mill” resolves *|itself into a complete and comprehen- sive history as well as an intensely interesting story. Distinctive features mark the book as a finished product. The “Gallery of Wardens” contains the picture of each of the 13 wardens who have held office at Stillwater since the old prison was completed in 1853, before | Minnesota was a state. lon and fingerprint methods of identi- fication are elearly described, accom- panied by pen and ink sketches, and reprudnch’ons of original forms:-and blanks uged in moth methods. According to ““4342,” he is the only prisoner in the 64 years existence of the prison who made his own ex- . 'lamination and Bertillon papers out in his own handwriting, as he was given the position of special clerk | to the deputy warden immediately on +his arrival inside the walls. “Thru the Mill,” as well as a valuable reference, is a story full of: pathos and straight-from-the-shoul- | der facts, with those few bright spots that such a narrative can afford. Al- together, the book throws an inter- esting searchlight into a corner of society about which the every day world thinks little and knows less, and it is probable that interest in cer-. tain much-discussed reforms may be stimulated through its agency. “Thru the Mill,” with two-colors, specially drawn cover, sells for 50 cents.

Reports of -tlie so called “dis- covery” that certain winerals containing radiumn are of great valye-as:fertilizers-have been at- tracting-a lot-of attention-in-the .newspapers. A report just is- sued by the Illinois experiment station on a series of field tests . ‘covering two seasons summarizes the results in the following posi- tive terms: “The trustworthy results from two years of field trials.by the II- linois experiment station show that radium applied at a cost of $1, $10 or-$100 per acre produced no -effect upon the crop yields either the first or the second sea- son.” Though earlier investigations . have shown that radium may have -an influence upon the growth of plants, it appears that the resuits secured by using ura- nium-radium ore in growing -crops are so slight as to be of negligible importance, Variations in yields due to season. rainfall and the like were much greater than could possibly be traced to the radium.—Country Gentleman. ¢ 000900046004 00060000000000 After house-cleaning freshen up your floors with Don’t use a floor finish which will leave unsightly worn spots after.a little wear.

Minnesota Ave. Girls With Beautiful Faces or Graceful Figures, American girls have a world-wide reputation for beauty, but, at the seme time, there are girls in our cities who possess neither beauty of face nor form, because in these in- stances they.suffer from nervousness,, the result of disorders of the woman- ly organism. At regular intervals they suffer so much that their strength leaves them; they are so prostrated’ that it takes days for them to recover their strength. Of course, such periodic distress has its bad effect on the nervous system. The withered and drawn faces, the dark circles and crow’s feet about the eyes, the straight figure without;| those curves which lend so much to. feminine beauty are the unmistakable signs of womanly disorders. When a girl becomes a woman, when a woman becomes a mother, ‘when women pass through the chan-| ges of middle life, are the three per- iods of life when health and strength:| are most needed to withstand the] pain and distress often caused by se-. vere organic disturbances.
