BECKER COUNTY A St. Paul attorney and railroad man was honored in the naming of this county. George Loomis Becker, born in New York, and a graduate of the University of Mich- igan, came to Minnesota in 1849. He was elected mayor of St. Paul in 1856 and a state senator and in 1859 was the Democratic candidate for governor. In 1865 he be- came connected with the St. Paul and Pacific railway, and from that time until death in 1904 he was active in pro- moting Minnesota railroad development. Becker was one of three members of congress elected in 1857 to represent the new state of Minnesota. The state was allowed only two members, however, and he lost out in the draw. Naming the county estab- lished in 1858 for him may have been intended as a con- solation prize.

Cities and towns throughout the country will soon have a season of general renovation by individuals. This year’s accumulation of rubbish is to be gathered up and set out ready for the collectors. Yards are to be put in order, houses: and out- buildings are to be painied, fences and sheds to be repaired, vacant lots to be cleared of weeds and every- thing to be made spick and span, fresh and wholesome and altogether delightful. This is to say, all this will be done if every householder does what is ex- pected of him. And why should it not be done? The expense for each home will not be great, the labor need not be hard, and the result will be some- thing for all of us to enjoy and per- haps to brag about. A clean Bemidji is eminently de- sirable, not so much because of its greater attractions, although that alone is worth the efforts, but because of its increased healthfulness. Dirt breeds disease and cleanliness in the first principle of sanitation. So let us all join in the clean-up campaign which will be begun in a few weeks and make Bemidji shine like a boy’s face after the maternal serub. Let us dig down into dark corners of our basements and closets, throw out all the old rags and pa- pers, wash the fly screens and get them in place, get busy with the paint brush and then the result will be gratifyin, REGULARS NOT PHYSICALLY FIT German military efficiency is .in large. part the result of incessant training and.activity during peace. How is it with the regulars of the United- States army in this partic- ular? Have they been kept physical- ly fit by continuing drill and exer- cise in camp during periods of in- aetivity? Apparently not, for the reports recently coming from.the American force on its march into Mexico con- tain such statements as these: “This half day’s rest is blessing to us all.” ‘““As a matter of fact neither men nor animals were in physical condition for such efforts as we have had to make.” “A few practice marches each week would have saved a lot of suffering, both physieal and mental, for this kind of work is a comstant struggle.” Those are publishied as the WorlS | oy ——— of an officer of our regmlar army been stationed near the Mexican bor- der for years, where such an adven- [ture as the present was hoped for as well as expected. If these men are now-s0 Soon ex- hausted; they must have.spent far too great a share of their time in |idling ;. about, swapping jokes and playing poker. Evidently there is too much physical ease in-the barracks and camps. of our regulars. One would think they would: weleome practice marches and other trials of a monctonous existence. In any case such tests should be re-: quired by the officers and higher authorities.” Volunteer and militia- men can not be expected to be phys- ically fit at the moment of call to duty, but for lack of such fitness in regulars, whose sole business is war, there is absolutely no excuse. DISCOVERING THE LONG DISCOVERED An admirer of the most energetic of ex-presidents announces that his visit to the West Indies “has given us a new bird that is worth all the trouble and expense of the trip.” Of course Col. Roosevelt himself can not be responsible for this view of the matter, although his “discovery” of the River of Doubt in South Am- erica long after the actual event did not seem to dampen his enthusiasm for exploit of this sort. The colonel is no doubt aware that that strange nocturnal, cavern-haunting bird, the guacharo, has long been known to naturalists and that Humboldt wrote of it at least a hundred years ago. Col. Roosevelt is an amateur natur- alist of keen intelligence and his in- vestigations, of which the people are always informed, are not without value as a means of popular educa- that part of the army which hnltense ofithe United Stiges, thie.need.| physical endurance as a relief from |here for a few days left for Kelliher ministrgtion,” measurgs fos e o of a heroic mood among the people and of a hero-candidate for presi- ing" subjeets: - —ee [EEEE DS ERE S0t S b * CROOKSTON LUMBER CO. * * CAMP NO. 3—KELLIHER. . ¥ KR 3090 o 9 KK KK Y D.

When one suffers the tor- tures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies: today that relieve, but not tion, but his friends are misguided when they lay claim to his “diseov- ery” of the long since discovered. As long ago as 1799 Alexander von Humboldt visited the monastery of Aragonese Capuchins, in the great cave near Caripe in Venezuela, to see and take notes on the wonderful bird of darkness. According to the lexicographers, the guacharoor oil bird is about the size of a common fowl, of a brownish grey plumage. It flees the light, spending the day in dark caverns where great numbers congregate and make their nests. In the Venezuela cavern visited by Hum- boldt, great numbers are slaughtered every year, the fat of the young birds being melted and stored for use as butter or oil. The:guacharo, which feeds on hard dry fruits and nuts, makes a harsh clatter suggestive of castanets as it flaps about in the tropical caverns chosen as its re- treat by day. Though new to Col. Roosevelt, the guacharo is an old story in South America and has long had its place in the records of nat- uralists. But this ornithological freak has performed a new and unexpected service by diverting a mind that has been focussed too long and. unin- terruptedly upon the woes of Bel- gium, the “Sins of the Wilson Ad- GOTHIC — an ARROW COLLAR z tor 2sc.

It was hard for me to turn over or' change my position. Be- liéving that the trouble' was caused by some: disorder of my kidneys, I was led to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured -at. Barker’s Drug Store, as one.-of my people had been cured of kidney complaint by them. They soon removed the pain in my back. They also strengthened my kidneys and, I have felt well ever since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask-for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Blondo. had.
