The city of Bemidjl is spending over $25,000 for a bridge to span the inlet of the Mississippi river on the Nymore highway. The Bridge is not large and Be- midji should secure an excellent bridge for the money expended. But— A controversy has arisen between the contractors who are constructing the bridge and city officials. The contractors desire to make changes in the plans of the bridge and speci- fications. Top Swinson, city engineer, is op- |- posed to the changes wanted by the contractors. We believe that Mr. Swinson is right. He has proved to be an honest, conscientious, capable city engineer and we believe that he is doing all that is in his power to see that Bemidji secures a ““hundred cents on a dollar” bridge. He is de- termined to see that Bemidji gets everything that it is supposed to have and that the bridge is constructed safe and sound. The bridge contractors, among the changes desired, want to use seven- eight teel instead of an inch and a quarter as provided for in the con- tract They say that seven-eighths steel is sufficient. Again they want to use only a few pilings on one end, ete It is suflicient, they say. We urge every citizen of Bemidji | to back up Mr. Swinson and demand that the specitications be lived up to in detail. The city council, every member, should back Mr. Swinson in his objections to changing the bridge at this time. We congratulate Mr. Swinson on | his stand and we will support him to the best of our ability. DOMESTIC TRADE. The department of commerce has just issued its monthly summary of | exports and imports for the month of September. That statement shows | that we sold to foreign countries $351,000,000 more than we pur-| chased from them. Including Can- ada in the list of nations at war, this balance in our favor can b count- ed for entirely by our trade growing! out of the war in Europe. In fact; no other deduction is possible in view of the reports of the depart- that after the Democratic tariff law got into full swing and before the outbreak of the war in Europe, the balance of trade was against us. Just think for a moment what this balance of $351,000,000 in one month | means to the United States. It is a fact well known in business that a dollar thrown into trade is turned over about 12 times in a year. The farmer who sells a thousand dollars worth of wheat for export to Europe pays his money to hist local mer- chants, machinery dealers, lumber dealeyps, automobile agents, etc. They, in turn, pay it out in wages or for materials and it goes to the factories to pay laborers, who spend it for rent and provisions. During the last fiscal year our trade balance was $2,000,000,000, which, in the coursie of a year, would mean an increase of domestic trade to the extent of not less than $24,- 000,000. These are facts which must be plainly apparent to any man who knows the simplest principles of business, and yet during the recent political campaign, Democratic pub- licity agents denied that our present prosperity i9 due to the war in Europe.

SPORT NEWS NAVY HASN'T SCORED TOUCHDOWN ON ARMY SINCE 1807 GAME By HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. 14.—When the Army and Navy football teams go in- to action for their annual meeting at the Polo Grounds on Nov. 25, there will be a goal besides victory for whic the Navy probably will play as hard as for victory. Victory can come by drop-kicks, place-kicks or safeties, but a touch- down is a touchdown, and the Navy hasm’t put over one of that kind of scores on the Army since 1907 when Capt. Ben Douglas had the pleasure of falling over the Army goal line. The middies have a stronger scor- ing team this year than has repre- isented the Annapolis school for some time, so it is reasonable to believe they will be able to put a dent in the cadets’ goal. They were equal to the task of slapping a close score against the powerful Pittsburgh eleven, and with this to go on it is hard to see how the Army will be able to hold them entirely free from a touchdown. Many a football star has had a chance to plant a football between the Army goal posts for the Navy since Douglas laid over that touch- down, but four classes have ambled their way through the school and out into their duties aboard Uncle Sam’s battleships without seeing the Navy teams accomplish that touchdown. Defeat hasn’t been their lot in those intervening years every year. Field goals have brought the future rdmirals victory three times in the seven games played since then. In 1908 Lange kicked a goal from place- ment, but the Navy lost, 6 to 4, field goals counting four points at that e of football. The 1909 game led off because of a death at t Point. In 1910 Dalton booted one over the Army goal posts and the Navy won, 3 to 0. In 1911 Dal- ton repeated his stunt and the Navy won by the same score. Brown made two field goals in the 1912 game and the middies won their third con- secutive victory, 6 to 0. The 1912 game was the last to go to Annapolis. In 1913 Brown three times sent the oval over the Army goal posts, but it wasn't enough, the Army winning, 23 to 9. In 1914 and 1915 the Army won.

WONDERFUL SONG BOOK FOR READERS OF THIS PAPER The Presentation of ‘‘Heart Songs,” a New Idea for a Newspaper—The Work Has 500 Large Pages. The remarkable offering by the Pioneer of the now famous song book, entitled ‘‘Heart Songs,” announce- ment of which appears today else- where in this paper, should be a source of sincere congratulation to both publisher and reader. Already more than a hundred thousand copies of this unique vol- ume have gone into the homes of the young people of the United States at the publisher’s retail price of two dollars and a half per volume. The merits of the book are such that the sales are steadily on the increase and in the ordinary course of busi- ness the book would attain an enor- mous circulation. Upon our first approaching the pub- lishers with a proposition to allow us in effect to make a gift of it to our readers, we met with a cold recep- tion. But subsequently a plan was developed whereby a syndicate of the largest and most influential newspa- pers in the country entered into an agreement with the makers of the book, so that several hundred thou- sand copies might be allotted to the readers of the respective papers for practically the bare cost of distri- bution. From day to day, beginnig with this issue, this paper will pubflish new features connected with ! ‘“‘Heart Songs,” until all its marvdlous at- tractions ars set forth to our readers. It is of universal interest ahd there is no member of the family but will find something of fascination and genuine interest between its covers. As we state elsewhere, we believe the distribution of this book will ac- complish a work of education of the very highest character, and our of- fering may fairly be called a testi- monial to the thousands of men and women who read our columns daily. The work has five hundred large pages, selectfons, words and music. It is to be had by this paper’s readers on presentation of ome coupon clipped from this paper, and the bare cost of distribution. Books in both styles of binding are on display at this office, and the choice is yours.
