The Hotel Crillon, which is one of the three most important hotels in Paris, has been taken by the Amer- § ican government for a lease of one year at a rent of b $400,000, which certainly. takes the sting out of the (4 word “requisition.” : The hotel can accommodate 400 guests but evi- dently the American peace delegates will outnumber that, as other arrangements are being made. The bureau of public information is taking an enor- mous furnished mansion at Versailles and enlarging its quarters in Paris. It is understood that hundreds of employees of this'bureau are soon expected to arrive in Europe to work with an Entente propaganda bureau to be placed in all the ¢ities of Europe to form an enormous press bureau for American newspapers. FNURSEI | i - BEMIDJI PROTESTS lNCMED PHONE RATES. Burleson control of the telephone systems and the intent to -consolidate the systems, which has balled up the entire works so an experienced telephone executive doesn’t know where he is at, is arousing a storm of protest throughout the state, owing to the attempt to raise the rates for poor service, inflicted by the “expert” controliof-a Texas politician, and the business men of the city of Bemidji are rallying to the support of the movement of protest. . It seems that every time public utilities are ‘“taken over” they are placed in the hands of incompetents. The first thing done is raise the rates or prices of everything for public patron- age and then the whole thing hecomes a huge farce, despite the efforts of those who have made the business a life study, schooled in its hard knocks. & The taking over of the telephone system and also the tele- graph system by the government is equally on a par with the “bum” postal service now being inflicted upon a suffering public—the same “guiding hand’” being at the helm. —_— ANOTHER INSPIRATION FOR PATRIOTISM. Dispatches from Washington state that before the presi- dent-sailed he pardoned two milifary men on the payroll of the 7 government who, it had been shown by the Hughes investiga- b tion committee, to have used their positions to get airplane : contracts for plants in which they were financially interested. The investigation was of the millions of dollars wasted in airplane construction and activities along that line. The president says he believes in the innocence of the accused and that their guilt was technical, etc., etc., hence the coat of whitewash wielded by the president. Sure, let ’em go. That report showed up the rottenness of the whole mess. Can’t make:it any worse by pardoning a few “innocents” and grafters, at the expense of the Liberty Bond buyers. —0 BEWARE FIRES IN CHRISTMAS TRIMMINGS. i ‘A little early, perhaps, but.not too early to absorb, and B that is for parents and merchants to remember that the ap- ‘E proaching Christmas time usually calls for fllmsy decorations | T . and store windows are frequently trimmed with a profusion of cotton and tinsel, tissue paper, efc, In homes there are also, usually, quantities of cotton, and flismy, easily inflammable decorations to give the holiday effect. ; : Santa Claus and his asbestos whiskers are also a familiar figure. | & Beware of fires. 0. : . Food restrictions have made: it necessary for many a stout i woman to reduce, greatly to the benefit of her appearance and | : health. Now that sugar and wheat are easier to obtain, we —H hope that she will not begin to indulge in them as formerly. If 'she does she will- be sure to lose what she has gained in gaining what she has lost. { 0. i What we don’t know, we are certain to sometime find out; ? but it is better to attain the height where we DO know than to forever be steadying the ladder on which we expect to climb. Think so? ——— We-should judge by recent appearances that many of the hobos who were obliged by war regulations to work had now gone back to their original profession.
