If horses were as hard to start after they’ve been standing out in the cold as some automobile engines are under the same circumstances, maybe the owners would be more careful about throwing a blanket over them. p— Railroad men say that stopping and starting engines uses up the coal. Seems as if there are some folks that could learn a good lesson even from a steam engine. SCHOOL AGRICULTURIST. A man with enthusiasm and with common sense, a county unifier, a man with tact, a natural leader, a ford M. Gile, Bemidji school agricul- turist, who was in charge of the Poultry and Crop show in Bemidji last week. The show was one of the best ever seen in this section and Mr. Gile and others who assisted him deserve much credit for it. The school agriculturist is a new idea which during the past few years has accomplished much good in this district. The central thought of the system i¢ the teaching of boys and girls agriculture, giving them prac- tical experience. The system also is for the united action of farmers and business men for the betterment of the agricultural interests in gen- eral. By this co-operation there is developed a great strength. Mr. Gile has made private calld to the individual farmers of this dis- trict and has aided them in their in- dividual work. No man has ever done more for the farmers of this district than has Mr. Gile. He deserves the commendation of all the citizens. THE CHILDREN. Minnesota, a rich and mighty state, possessing millions of dollars, valu- able mines, vast tracts of land and immense timber holdings, and other great wealth, having already helped its little children by liberally aiding free public schools and in other ways, will be asked next to do more for its dependent, neglected and delin- quent children. Laws relating to children are be- ing revised by a commission named by Governor J .A. A. Burnquist and if the proposals recommended are adopted by the next legislature, it is promised that these children, handi- capped almost from birth, will be left less to chance and fate. A systematic plan of dealing with the child welfare ‘program in all its phases is being devised by the ex- perts after investigation of the best practical methods developed by any states or countries. The combined economy and common sense charac- terizing features already adopted commends the effort and proves that the commission of volunteers are working solely to better the condition of the poor and neglected child. COUNTY DIVISION. The Baudette Region says: *“The county division bug id getting busy again, and don’t be at all surprised if the first really serious attempt to di- vide ;Beltrami county is made this winter. Many prominent citizens of the north end of the county have concluded that the assessed valuation is now big enough for, us to stand on our own feet, and as the citizens of the southern part of the county have repeatedly declared that they are agreeable to the divorce proceed- ings, there appears to be little ob- struction in the way of division.. As a forerunner it may be possible that Baudette and Spooner, the border twins, will unite into one city in order to avoid a county seat contest. At least Baudette has received assur- ances from leading citizens of Spooner that they are willing to consider the matter. The joining of the towns and the school . districts would be about the best thing that could hap- pen for this whole section, and with county division thrown'in, everything would be grand and glorious.” advocates say will be a big step for- ward in economy is the proposed law giving cities of Montana the right to Entered at the postoffice at Bemidji, [adopt the city manager plan.

The light weight of the car is due to the absence of heavy castings and the use, instead, of pressed steel parts . and well designed steel forgings. This lightness means less gasoline. Car weight and tire size are carefully calculated, -and this means greater tire mileage. As a result the car is establishing a very notable record for low cost of 'nlaintenaince, and freedom from repair. In and of itself it constitutes a very strong incentive to ownership. It will pay you tovisit us and examine this car. “The gosoline consumption is unusually low.
