The architecture of the Jacobean house came through the walls, forming a background for furniture that in turn reflected its motifs. A massive’ chimney was usually the most. finished factor in the room. It bore the man- orial arms. Celling and walls were a frank con- fession of the house structure—hand- hewn beams broke the rough-plastered walls, giving the room a vigor and crudeness characteristic of the:times. The gallery was mnot' an uncommon feature in this period. In addition to the stone fireplace, the sturdy oak furniture; the wrought fron lights and the timbered-walls, the: firer of Jacobean rooms had:another: feature—an oriel window broken in places with colored medallions.: Often attack children and absorb the vitality of the child.

It has been a mooted problem to Bemidji for the past few years. It was thought not so long ago that we had what we had gone after, but it was knocked into a peak and then the peak knocked off. Bemidji had‘ a naval militia division, and the matter of an armory was taken up with the state. The siate had appropriated $15,000 toward the erection of the armory. ~The taxpayers of Bemidji voted an additional $8,000 to make the armory what it should be, and enterprising citizens subscribed the money with which the site was purchased and paid for and turned over to the state. K ; This armory was to serve the naval militia and also act as a com- munity center for public gatherings. But the money set aside by the state was spent othewise and Bemidji was left high and dry, it being stated that so long as the naval militia was on the seas in the first line of defense Bemidji didn’t need an armory. But Bemidji found out she did need ,the armory. And it needs it more than ever. With the formation of the Home Guard, the need of the armory be- came apparent. With the stationing of the Fourth Minnesota here, the need of the armory is apparent.

K Since the war has been on Sheriff Johnson has worked as no other man Has in this county in the interests of the government and her war campaign, but. instead of appearing prominently in the farewell programs he has always modestly remained in the background. He deserves greal credit for his work in behalf of the government and the entire county. el g REGISTRY DISCLOSES INTERESTING FEATURES Don’t Dodge :thev Facts— IF you die without a Will, your ‘ property will be distributed at once—one-third to your wife, and two-thirds to your children if they are of age.

The government order for all aliens to register was a good one, and one that should have been attended to long, long ago. Some startling features of the registry have also been disclosed and not alone in other cities have these discoveries been made, but in Bemidji as well. In the registry lists are found aliens who have voted at every elec- tion, held offices and acted as political “bosses” of every description. They have voted under the oath of every legal voter and perjured them- selyes in so doing. : Rl G WHY DON’T PACKERS LOOSEN UP, T00? We don’t mind getting squeezed in this war campaign, but we would like to sort of get close to Dr. Lincoln, Hoover's personal representative who spoke at the Elko, and hint to him that it wouldn’t be a bad idea, maybe, to make the packers with their huge stores of meat, eggs, cheese and butter, loosen up at least a little. It might allow some of those com- modities on the market and allow the prices to get down so a wage earner eould get acquainted with ‘em. 7 S SENATOR KING IS NOT CONSIDERATE And now Senator King gets up in the senate at Washington and urges the averaging of salaries by the government. He asserts that many men are receiving $6,000 a year when they couldn’t .get $1,500 at any other work. He urges as a slogan, “Millions for defense but not one cent for waste.”” Senator King shouldn’t be so hard on the “experts.” I i THE THRIFTY LUTHERAN WAY i At their recent meeting at Brainerd, resolutions were adopted by the i Brainerd District Minnesota Conference Augustana Synod Lutheran Church, o urging Senator Knute Nelson, as a food conservation measure, to work for the enactment of a law prohibiting the manufactare and sale of all intoxi- cating drinks during the war.
