The demands for these loans,” how- ever, has been far greater than the state’s available. moneys. Already the million dollars recently seeured has all been spokensfor. Some legal method of disposing.of the remain- ing bonds of other states in the state treasury would be welcome. But short of a constitutional amendment; or a revolution in the;bond markets, how is it to be accomplished? “HIS PAPER REPRESENTED FCR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGOC SRANCHES IN ALL Th¥ PRINCIPAL CITIES MAYOR VANDERSLUIS Charles W. Vandersluis today takes office as mayor of the City of Bemidji. ‘The city wishes its mayor well— because it wishes itself well. Let every citizen join in wishing the new mayor of Bemidji godspeed and pray that when his administra- tion ends that it will be in a blaze of glory. WILLIAM M’CUAIG Today Mayor William MecCuaig completes his term of administration as mayor of Bemidji and is succeeded by Mayor Charles W. Vandersluis. The city is indebted to the retiring mayor for the able manner in which he looked after the interests of the city. He has discharged his official duties fearlessly and although at times the voters took exception to his acts, the acts usually proved for the best interest of the city. Mayor Me- Cuaig may retire feeling that he did his work well and this cannot be dis- puted by the tax payers. THE BEMIDJI PROGRAM (By the Minneapolis Journal.) Governor Burnquist’s Bemidji pro- gram of state development is one that should in the main command general support. The things to be done he specifically mentioned were: 1—Passage of Amendment Num- ber One for a revolving fund to im- prove state lands; 2—Soil survey of the state; 3—Closer co-operation between the State Highway and Drainage com- missions; 4—Sale of bonds of other states now held by Minnesota, and invest- ment of proceeds in Minnesota; 5—Creation of state forests; 6—Drainage survey of the state, with an eye to an ultimate system of canals. These are all practical measures that mostly interlock with each other. The argument for Amend- ment Number One was given in this column yesterday. It is a much needed remedial measure. The soil survey is needed for sev- eral reasons. It would be of the greatest advantage to the intending settler in Minnesota, as a reliable aid in selecting land. It is needed, too, as a preliminary to legislation under the forestry amendment passed. in 1914. Before the work of reforest- ing non-agrieultural lands can be se- riously undertaken, it must be deter- mined what land$ precisely are non- agricultural. It is not the purpose of the friends of the restored forests to ask for an acre of land that is fit to raise crops profitably, or even to pasture cattle profitably. But there are large tracts, particularly in Northeastern Minnesota, that are fit for nothing but tree culture. - These must be delimited by a soil survey. Highway and drainage co-opera- tion is of obvious advantage. Every time a ditch is dug, the dirt thrown to one side makes the foundation for a good road. Roads and ditches in the swamp country are everywhere parallel. The drainage survey of the state is necessary, not so much :for the sake of the canals ‘we -may possibly require at some distant date, as to insure a homogenequs .and interrela- ted system of drainage. Too many projects now are considered merely from the standpoint of the areas to be benefited, and without proper re- gard for their effect on rivers and lakes, watersheds and reservoirs. The larger relations of drainage ditches to the state’s interests must be stud- ied. The creation of state forests car- ries with it not only the preservation of some of the few remaining fine stands ‘of timber, but the establish- ment therein of game refuges, where the deer, moose and other large ani- mals may- feel ‘safe to 'live-and mul- tiply, ‘and ‘from ‘which as centers the|- The National Housewives’ League has hopped .into the preparedness arena by inaugurating a campaign for elevating the food question and building up the health of the men in order that they may become.phys- ically fit for service.

The belligerents call each other liars, and the war correspondents in- whole dinged caboodle are just plain prevaricators.
