Bemidji’s coming Fourth of July celebration, which is to be a safe and sane affair, promises to be the most popular event in North Central Min- nesota. Plans in every section are being made by townspeople and farm- ers’ club to join the citizens of thig city in the celebration of this na, tional holida; All hail the Farmers’ picnic. The tillers of the soil and their families will lay a spread before the hungry townspeople and their families at noon on Thursday, June 17. To oun knowledge this is the first time in the history of any community that such a treat has been offered any city. Bemidji business men have shown their appreciation of this by ordering their places of business closed from 11:00 a. m. until 3:00; p. m. After the picnic festivities the farmers, many of them, will want to do some shopping and for this reason, the stores will be re-opened. —_—— TR ERKKXK KK KKK KK * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS ¥ AR KKK KK KKK KK It takes a philosopher to be bigger) than the little troubles that best us, but, after all, happiness comes from | within, and he is wise who fortifies| himself against external conditions by a cheerful spirit.—Rush City| Post. g e The liking for liquor is not a| natural one, but an acquired taste)| and with the temptation taken away | from the younger set, so that there| is none to take the place of the old soak as he passes on, the traffic will gradually die out.

ENGLAND'S COAST 3 VISITED BY SPIES OF i GERMAN GOVERNMENT England’s newest war mys- e "wm—o’-thg-wisp" off the ‘British east coast. Cleverest sleuths of the nation today searching for a mysterious grey motor car “D-4832”—that races along peaceful Kast Angila highways intermittently piercing the upper darkness with flashes of liqh; submarines hovering off the cdast. The_mystery rivals the most thril climax yet to come. Occupants of peaceful tarmhome; and villagers of the quaint old Eq&g the:government to solve the mystey that is the talk of the countryside:| Nightly. they have seen the power- ful car dash madly past, a huddled figure bent low over the wheel. Some, say he wears the uniform of a Brits, ish military officer while others ar% not so sure. All of them have seen. the piercing rays of the motor’ searchlights perform strange arcs ¢! the sky.. A dozen times they .haye] spread the alarm by ’phone in the| direction the mysterious visitor was traveling but as many times he hat eluded them. H It is only at night that the “phan-] tom” thunders along the East Coast roads. At daybreak he seemingly into air until night. raid over Suffolk and Essex the “phantom” was out. Carrying a] blinding white light, the villagers| say, he dashed over hill and dale, plainly piloting the Zeppelin over its course. A hundred persons swear to this. One caught the number of the grey mystery—*“D-4832" but no car with that number is registered. Guards are now posted along all the principal East Coast roads. Here the “phantom” has ceased his nightly visit. But off in the' distance, on other roads, these guards have seen’ the streaks of light that pierce the sky and have heard the faint distant rumble of the racing motor. The country folk say it is un- canny and the government sleuths are beginning to think so too. Belief, however, that German spies are actually at work on the East Coast is strengthened by an incident near the seacoast at Sheeringham. This time it was not the mysterious auto but two men intercepted by-boy scouts in the act of signalling from a cliff with a lantern. Menaced by a revolver in the hand of one of the men all but one of the scouts with- drew. The one that remained firm was later found gagged with his own handkerchief and unconscious near the scene of the incident. Revived, the scout suffered hysteria but de- in a foreign tongue. Residents of the cliff coasts of Es- sex have reported that almost night- 1y signals have been observed at more isolated points. to surprise the signallers have failed. The government of British North Borneo has employed an expert from the United States to make a general Isurvey of the timber possibilities of | that country. China has established a double standard of weights and measures that includes the metric system and a native one. Its inventor claims that a new leather for lining shoes is perspira- tion proof. The Doctor Says “No Hope!” All Sicknesses Have Small Beginnings, Watch for the First Symptoms. Don’t stand pain or illness. Cure 1t right at the start. Give Nature & chance—that’s all she needs. Keep the bowels open and the stomach, liver and kidneys in good condition and you don’t need to worry mueh sbout the doctor. It you had only heeded the warning. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea 1s a sclentific preparation for that very purpose. It is composed of the very best roots, herbs, seeds, bark and leaves of healing plants. Jt has been in succeasful use for more than a generation. Thousands and thousands of people know that they owe thelr health, yes, their very. lives to this valuable remedy.
