Every person present sang the first verse but when the second and other verses were sung only about one-half of the persons were singing—the others did not know the words. ‘We would venture to say that less than one-half of the students of the schools are able to sing the entire song. ‘We believe that the school auth- orities should make arrangements so that every student in the Bemidji schools and especially those in the high school can learn the words of the song ‘‘America.” BUCKMAN A SURE WINNER C. B. Buckman of Little Falls maintains a good lead in the race for the Republican congressional nomina- tion from this district. Sentiment in his favor appears to be increas- ing steadily though the campaign has hardly opened as yet. Nearly every newspaper in the Sixth district has recognized that the district needs a live, practical man who knows the needs of this dis- trict. Mr. Buckman is a typical Minne- sota Sixth district hustler, a prac- tical man and he does things. He has been a farmer, a logger and a builder. For years he was the leading employer of labor in North- ern Mipnesota. He has been drilled in the common walks of life and knows the desires and needs of the people. During his previous term in congress he was very successful and made a record at that time which should receive a hearty endorsement this -year. PREPAREDNESS—PROSPERITY Preparedness is in the air and everybody is talking about it—pre- paredness against war. But there is another brand of pre- paredness that is of vital import to the American people, and that is pre- paredness for prosperity. There is probably no class of peo- ple in this country who should be more alive to the possibilities of commercial.. preparedness than the farmer. Upon him will devolve the vast amount of supplies demanded by the world ‘when this war ends. His will 'be the burden of feeding the millions of mouths that will be hun- gering for the products of the farm. And his will be the pockets that will sag with the weight of the gold that pays for these supplies. The farmers of Beltrami county should make efforts to clear more land this year and put it under cultiva- tion. It should be made to yield its full quota of wealth that will be waiting for some one to pick-up. Congress-at last is aroused and will take ecare of preparedness against war, but the American farm- er is the man who must prepare for the prosperity of peace. Preparedness is in the air, brother.

(From the Spokane Spokesman- Review.) Switzerland seems to have solved wisely the problem of acquiring for its youth all the benefits of state training and discipline, freed from the evils of military caste and ag- gressive militarism as they are ex- emplified in the German army. German efficiency and highly dis- ciplined co-operation compel our re- spect, wonder and admiration. " It is not a chance product. It has been in the making since Napoleon, more than 100 years ago, overreached: him- self when, conquered Prussia at-his feet, he laid down the seemingly hard condition that the Prussian army should never exceed 75,000 men. But Prussian sagacity was more than a match for Napoleonic genius. It met the condition by training 75,- 000 men for a few months, discharg- ing them back into civilian life and calling another 75,000 recruits to the service for another brief period of military training. This simple process Prussia repeat- ed again and again until it had prac- tically a trained reserve of several hundred thousand men. Its nominal army never exceeded the stipulated 75,000, but its real army grew to heroic proportions. German Efficiency’s Birth. That was the making of German character. It led to the downfall of Napoleon the Great, bore fruitage half a century later in the overthrow of Napoleon the Little and the wed- ding of the Germanic states by Bis- marck into the present day empire, and was the taproot of present Ger- man power and efficiency. National greatness is but an aggre- gate of individual vigor and efficiency and individual success is dependent on health and discipline. Without them nothing. Young men who have them in high degree render high service to the family, to the com- munity and the state. Boys that lack them are the failures, the molly- coddles, the incorrigibles, the crim- inals. A training system like that of Switzerland gives infinitely more to the individual and the nation than it exacts. Let us follow a Swiss boy through the schools and into the training camp. Early he is taught the ele- mentary laws of health, correet gait and carriage, attention to command and co-operative action with his com- rades. Though this preliminary training is not of a military nature, it fits him admirably for the military in- struction that awaits him at 20. At that age he is put to physical and mental tests to determine his capac- ity to serve his country. “The tests are comparatively easy,” says Dr. Henry Ferguson, “but of sufficient difficulty to exclude dunces and weaklings whom the confederation has no use for. The physical examination consists of a C%gmks Nation-wide Pay-Up Week, 21-26. Feb.

Then follows, for the recruits, field training for sixty to ninety days. Drill -work: perfects their deportment and carriage. Camp sanitation teach- es them the laws of heéalth.

Censider- the: great value of all this training in after life. Take, for il- lustration, the requirements that a recruit must grasp intelligently a command given but once, and con- trast it with the waste of time, the exhaustion of patience and the errors and blunders that American industry, all' the way from the home to the great industrial establishments, is burdened with through the necessity of dealing with men who have not learned that rudiment of efficiency! By adopting the Swiss system of thorough training of the country’s youth, the United States can mount to greater heights of industrial and OH! MY BACK! The Expression of Many a Kidney Sufferer in Bemidji. A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, stooping brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan’s Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—re- lieve acking backs. Here's the Be- midji proof: M.
