And in this impression we heartily concur. ‘We have always been of the belief that the affairs of a municipality were some of its affairs and that the public was entitled to the fullest in- formation, and in this we have not been alone for every newspaper of every city throughout the United States that we ever heard of sends representa- tives to the meetings of the city councils and the meetings are reported in detail for the public. And we never heard of any objections, either on the part of the city administrations nor the people “who pay the freight” “and-are justly entitled to know what is and what is not being done. “Custom’” doesn’t always hold. The fact that some things have been done in such and such a manner in the past is, perhaps, the real cause for a change being madé. That seems reasonable to presume. ) 5 & Pominent manufacturer of breakfast food says; ‘There's a There isn’t any sound argument Why bilsiness affairs shouldn’t be taken care of in a businesslike matfer. If a man or woman has any busi- ness interests you can bet. )ygm‘r sweet life they transact it in a business city being such. ] usiness is business and that's all there is to it and no amownt of ar- guing can change it. VOTE FOR THE SCHOOLS The people of Bemidji have taken the village of Nymore to be a part of Bemidji and share in its prosperity, and in this we have every reason to believe the good people of the new Fifth ward, formerly Nymore, will be found loyal allies. Having taken into the city the village of Nymore, her peoples become of us and her children become Bemidji children to grow and help Bemidji grow, and it is up to Bemidji, the new Fifth ward included, to do for these children that they may become good and useful citizens. Talk about factories! Why, the best “factory” any community can possibly have is busily engaged in manufacturing useful men and women and equipping them for their stations in life, and the better the schools the better will that community’s men and women be. The Fifth ward needs an adequate and modern school, such as has been discussed at length. It should have ome. It is a necessity. On Saturday afternoon, between the hours of 4 and 9 o’clock, the people will vote on the proposition, also for improving the Central school. Bemidji is growing and if she is to grow there need be facilities for the education of its children and those who are to come to us with their parents as the city grows. A good system of schools is one of the greatest assets of any city and no city of any pretentions has poor schools. They are the indicator of what a community is. Go to the polls Saturday afternoon, you men‘and women—and vote for the construction of a suitable school for the Fifth ward and the im- provement of the Central school.

SURE CURE PROMISED Ix BY NEXT SUMMER (By United Press) * Chicago, March 8.—Dr. Maximil- lian Herzog expects to have perfected a sure cure for infantile paralysis be- fore the fatal hot months, he nounced today. “Already,” said Dr. Herzog, who has made an exhaustive study of the cause, prevention and cure of the dis- ease which caused so many deaths and so much- distress last summer, “the microbe which causes infantile paralysis has been definitely isolated and experiments are being made to locate an anti-toxin which effectively stamps out the disease among sheep and cattle. “We hope to have perfected an ef- fective anti-toxin for human beings by summer.” The Chicago health authorities have enlisted prominent physicians, bacteriologists, nurses, women’s clubs and civic organizations in a concerted effort to check the disease before it gets a start in Chicago this year. an- ) MORE GERMAN PLOTTING (By United Press) New York, March 8.—Federal authorities have learned that Ger- man Foreign Minister Zimmerman at Berlin had full knowledge of the Cha- kiaberty plot and directed the money intended for intrigue purposes and that this country was to be used as a base for fomenting the uprisings.
