One of the chjef reasons that the great northwest is every- thing else but democratic is owing to the red blooded people constantly getting stung every time some fool order is issued. The northwest was hit hard when the price was fixed on wheat, while the growers o corn ard barley were untouched and the southern cotton planters reveled in wealtth, owing to being favored for political reasons. The command to use substitutes for flour in a wheat grow- ing country put the flour crop growers up-against double prices for substitutes. Shoes soared in price, calico-did an airplane stunt and cotton, thanks to the protected growers, also soared, Everything went the same way, cloth for wearing apparel, farm machinery and equipment and everything in general. Now the proposition is faced with higher express rates, and again the consequent advancement in the price of food, owing to the fact that the northwest is obliged to ship quantities needed. Yet the northwest has surpassed its self on-every government campaign to win the war, something many other districts failed to do, and hence believes it is entitled to express its opinion along certain lines. S SRR s T WOULD ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL. The president of the Postal Telegraph company is object- ing strenuously over the proposition of government “experts” to consolidate the Postal and the Western Union, and is going to law to prevent, if posible, any such action. He maintains that the Postal has showed a nice profit on its business and gives figures to prove his assertion. The government intends to take over the telegraph com- panies and make a flat award to the individual companies. The - Postal’s president, states it is a frame-up owing to the fact, as- serted, that the Western Union has been losing money and he doesn’t think the government would be doing right to take the earnings of the Postal and bolster up the Western Union. Which seems very plausible. BT AT ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY SENSELESS POLITICAL MOVE - Now: that it is a settled fact that the president is going, to| France to-be_one of the big noises at the international peace conference, Postmaster General Burleson has been placed in charge of the inte-national cables at this end, and nothing not in line with Burleson’s ideas will be allowed to escape scrutiny. The public will get just what Burleson wants it to have. s The action is merely another farce. There is absolutely no need for the government to take over the cables. If it is necessary now why wasn’t it done during the period of the war? Merely another attempt to bolster up the propaganda being fostered by political autocrats. . B O LA FOLLETTE NOT TO BE “INVESTIGATED”. The senate committee, appointed to investigate La Fol- lette’s St. Paul speech to ascertain whether it was treason utter- ance, has decided rot to make any investigation. ‘‘There’s a reason” apparently. . It was the president who sent Vice Presi- dent Marshall into the.Wisconsin senatorial contest to speak for the democratic opponent of Senator Lenroot, and he termed the progressive republican followers of La Follette “sewage.” The rebuke was stinging on-the part of the republicans of the entire state, Lenroot being elected hands down. : S ot For the ensuing fiscal year, Charles Warfield will be the president of the Red Cross chapter. Not the slightest doubt but that Mr. Warfield will give his best efforts to the success of the work and every member of thte chapter and all citizens of Bemidji should co-operate with him, the same as it did for.the former president, Rev. L. P. Warford. From the convictions obtained againgt Bemidji bootleggers at Fergus Falls the master hand of County Attorney Torrance was again shown. He obtained the indictments of several who were given heavy fines and jail.sentences, and has a large grist to be tried at the coming term of the district court. EGISSEEIE , WS E— The big raise made in express rates on the government controlled railroads means that in Northern Minnesota the cost of food will be considerably increased for the consumers. Guess the powers that be still believe the war is on. JRSEESEE S, W ——— . Do you want to save fuel, iron, money and labor?

Cholce varleties of our native dectd- ucus angd evergreen trees have suffered greatly from depletion due to ‘the al- most unchecked ravages of pestiferous 2 Insects and destructive fungi, the noted scarcity of bird life in many sections plainly adding to the complexity of the problem of protecting the trees, writes a correspondent of the New York Sun. Trees such as the chest- nut, the maple, hickory, oak, pine, hem- lock, ete.,, are beautifully characteris- tic of the wonderful resources of our deciduous and evergreen varieties, and these should be planted freely wher- ever opportunity offers. The American .chestnut should ndt be permitted to disappear from the list. I had intended to say more' about street tree planting in the several bor-1 oughs of our city, where in many sec- tions trees may be used with a great advantage to property and for the adornment of i neighborkood. ‘For & comparatively small expenditure & good tree is a paying investment. The pe- rlod of defoliztion' in the deciduous tree is at hand, and indicates iLie zea- son of safety in transplanting, and this work can now shortly be undertaken, lasting till early frost. All interested in this inviting enterprise should take occasfon to plant a tree as & civied duty. .y BEAUTY GREAT CIVIC ASSET Ugly or lll-Kept Houses”Do Much to Retard the Development of Any Community. . Morals, manners and taste are im- portant as truly as health. Houses that are ugly, that tend to drive men and women away from them instead of attracting them are, to say the least, not making it easier to maimtain good homes. Houses that are ill-kept or run- down are setting a constant pattern of shiftlessness and - slovenliness before the child. Monotonous rows of pine boxes or evern of brick or concrete par- allelepipeds are not adapted to culti- vate taste for beautiful things nor to supply the basis for the expression of individuality. And individuality is somehow a very real element not mere- ly in the attractiveness of life, but in the formation of character and of family standards. Fortunate is the small city or large town that has no great amount of housing of this kind. If communities set themselves the task of bu.llding schoolhoues that shall im- press goof® standards upon children during five hours of the day, can they afford to take the risk of having pat- terns of hideousness or dilapidationsbe- fore the eyes of children during- the rest of the day? & Enrich Your Garden Soil. This is the time to apply coarse manure —not commercial fertilizer, which should only be used during the growing season. You are not likely to apply too much compost or manure. Truck growers use as heavy a coating as siv inches. On a plot 20 by 20/feet 400 to 600 pounds can be used. Stable manure is S0 scarce, it is more than ever important to save and use all available leaves. The burning of leaves is rank waste. Manure is hard to obtain, but every effort should be made to get it and put it on in’the autumn instead of in the spring. Ar- rangements should be made, if pos- gtble, for fine, well-rotted manure or for commercial fertilizer for use next spring. There 1s#'shortage during the war of «commerclal fertilizer and it should. not be put oh before its plant foud is needed or when it will seep away. Quick-acting fertilizér ‘applied In the spring will-give plants an early start and help to produce early crops —a result all gardeners desire. Deadlines in City. Streets. For the purpose of trylng out the idea before adopting it generally, New York city officlals have laid white lines of tile and marble, six inches wide, in the pavement at certain street inter- sections to serve as deadlines for ve- hicles. Cousiderable trouble in con- nection with the control of traffic by the police has been experienced in try- ing to get wotorists to-stop at an im- aginary liug . With a broad, white marking sei in the pavement, there can be no mistake as to where cars should < stop. Both tile and marble have been used in making the trial marks to ascertain ‘which is the more durable—Popular Mechanics Maga< zine. ¢ Origin of Meteorites. In countradistinction to the theory of the earth-origin of meteorites, it Las been argued that they may have heen shot out of the giant volcances of the moon in long past ages, but there are some very serious difficultier in the way of this hypothesis. Mr. Chamberlain. the inventor of the planetesimal theory of the origin of volar systems, has the interesting sug- gestion that meteorites may be the fragments of bodies (planets) broken up by the passage of some immense mass near enough to produce disrup- tive tidal strains, To sum up, the real origin of meteorites remains to be dis- covered.

Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kid- neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. ‘When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four for quality ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- and because spoonful ‘in a glass of water before breakfast for-a few days ahnd your ATy, kidneys will then act fine.
