G WIRELESS (New York Evening Sun.) Of course there:is nothing to-be said in defense of the " “night messages” by hand instead of over the wire; but there doesn’t seem to be any real competition involved with the carried a bag of night letters from New York to Boston got to his destination on time the next morning and the “telegrams” were delivered on time. i But if they had been committed to. Mr. Burleson’s tender care it would be a gamble as to when they might reach Boston. With good luck a letter.can go for only three cents all the way from Park Row to Beacon street ‘in less than twenty-four hours. But not if it has to go to Chicage or Saskatchewan first, or if it has to rest for a week in a railway mail car,.or a pleasant pigeonhole somewhere. Perhaps there is room for a jitney service, a delivery by hand, if legal difficulties can be.overcome. Or it may be conceivable that the regular post office service could, in proper hands, become effcient once more. Q- - UNIVERSAL TRAINING, PHYSICAL TFRAINING Those ‘who, from inadequate information or some other reason or near-reason, object to universal military training for the youth of our nation, cannot, if they think a:moment, oppose the proposition of compulsory physical training for the manhood (and womanhood too) of the country. Such a regime world entail no hardship nor inconvenience upon any, save the sloths, would add immeasurably to the health, spirits and democratic unity of the men of the country, and would, in the event of war, make training merely a military matter, requiring much less time than now, because of the ‘physical condition and mental alertness of the men being trained. “Get mext” to this movement, initiated by- the National Security League. . e USE THE BOOTS The first item in our programme for “industrial and commercial relief” for Russia is announced as a shipment of fifty thousand pairs of shoes. Their usefulness can be greatly enhanced if they are employed in kicking the Bolsheviki out of power. : & ¥ PRRRFS AEt AUSTRIA ALSO IMPRESSED Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver, returning from Italy, tells the good people of Paris that he,is much impressed by what Italy has done. We understand that the Austrians feel that same way about it. — e NO OCCASION FOR SURPRISE Pacific -Coast lumbermen and ccommercial ~organizations complain that the new freight rates instituted by the railroad administrator gave an advantage to Southern mills. What else did they expect? . ————0 . Well! Well! Well! If little old New Jersey hasn’t up and diplomatically informed Messers Fulton and Dempsey that the;e is _nothing doing in the frame-up:boxlng-bout in that state. This pair has sought to tack their get:the-coin setto onto a big Red Cross campaign, but it was too raw, even for the Jerseyites.

It was an army surgeen -who- slew -the hookworm. in ‘Porto Rico; it"was“an army medical man who fought to‘the death with yellow fever in Havana and conquered it; it was-anarmy-man who made the disease-breeding swamps of Panama into a zone of health, and finally, and most spectac- ular of all, it was an army engineer ‘wlhio:dug the Panama’ canal when civil- fans threw up the job. -Again ‘and again a board of army officers has provided the expert knowledge und the integrity of character necessary to ad- vise congress or wisely to administer. vast enterprises of the national gov- ernment.—Collier’s Magazine. Heavy Earthquake Shock. An earthguake occurred on October 20, 1870, and was felt very.sensibly ‘over northeastern America, from New Brunswick to Iowa, and from the River ‘St. Lawrence to Cincinnati. Some of ‘the large stores and factorles in New York city were 'so badly shaken: that employees rushed - into the streets. Further north it was more pronounced. iAt Montreal bells swere rung in the {swaying : steeplés -of public buildings, and-in' Québec ‘chimneys were thrown down. Several of the public schools in New York were dismissed, teachers and pupils joining in hasty flight, the walls of buildings were shaken and furniture was moved from:-its place. ‘Discovered ‘Baldwin Apple. The other day the people of Wo- iburn, Mass., unveiled a granite -shaft angd bronze figure of a colonial soldier. iCol. Loammi Baldwin, who was at the battle of Liexington, and who had a ‘notable ‘war and peace record, but who 48 best remembered as the discoverer iof the Baldwin apple.

You can turn -gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you’ll get a 50-cent bot- tle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound” at any drug store. Mil- lions of - bottles ‘of ‘this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, are s0ld annually, says a well-known drug- . | gist here, because. it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied. Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming “faded have a surprise awaiting -them, because after one or two applications the gray hair van- jshes and your locks become luxur- iantly dark and beautiful. This is the age of youth. Gray- haired, unattractive folks aren’t wanted around, so get busy with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound -| tonight and you’ll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful ‘appearance within a few days.

R FRESH BUTTERMIK DALY 10 CENTS GALLON THE CREAMERY Vs We have learned from C. W. Jewett Com- ; - pany f,hat practically all of the Fordson Tractors iy that ai'e being sold in thi?locality »-throfigh the | Food Administration at dealer’s cost have been snapped up by farmers and grofips of . farmers jn the outlaying distr‘iéts from Bemidji. For instance, they have gone to such com- . - . munities as Nebish ,Little Fork, Northome, Alv- ' wood and others from other points further out have been received.: But we find that our home farmers near: Bemidji are overlooking the opportunity of secur- ing a Fordson Tractor and plow at the dealer’s cost price. This matter is therefore called to the atten- tion of the farmers in Bemidji and vicinity. There is an opportunity to still secure one of these tractors for Bemidji farmers, but immedi- ate action is necessary. Inquire for information, and remember that the banks will assist you in making the deal. { 4 | 1 Defectiv
