OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS BURLESON CAN'T WAG BRITISH BULLDOG. Mr. Burleson is likely to find himself confronted with serious international difficulties in his attempted control and consolidation of the cables. A cable has no value as a conveyor of news unless it maintains connections on both sides of the ocean.. -A sejzure of one end does not give control of the cable itself. By taking charge of the American terminals of the ‘Atlantic cables doubtless Mr, Burleson can censor the messages that are sent from America, but he cannot determine what shall :be put upon the wires at the European stations. The messages that are sent from Europe to this country will be received at our cable offices in spite of anything Burleson may do. Of course, he can prevent their transmission over the telegraph wires to their addresses, but if ge attempts such high handed methods there will be such a storm of protest raised in Europe that the postmaster general will be compelled to relinquish some ‘of his authority. Already the British government has declared it ‘will assist the Western Union in handling cable traffic only *on condition that no control be, exercised from America.” Mx_‘. Burleson may think that because he has possession of the tail he can wag the dog, but he should disillusion himself before he is badly bitten. ; ——0 “FOSSTON JOURNAL” BOWS TO THE FOURTH ESTATE. Comes to the editorial desk of The Pioneer, the Fosston Journal, a healthy appearing new venture on the part of Frank €. Johnson, sole owner and publisher. It announces that it is an “independent newspaper,” in the newspaper fraternity meaning that it will refrain from being partisan but will espouse problems from the angle its editor deems proper. It consists of eight pages, well made up and with good press work. Given time to get under way the Journal seems fair to progress. The Pioneer éxtends the hand of welcome. SRR =0 VRN AND GERMANY STILL ASKS ALLIES FOR FOOD. In the Grand Forks Herald of Friday appears a three col- umn cut, showing five British soldiers, stripped, as they were released from a German prison military camp. The pictures were those of young men and the shrunken bodies told mutely ‘the story "of their treatment. . .Every one had been reduced to a skeleton and gave every dence Germany still asks the allies for food and aid. o JE— SEEMS TIME TO CALL A HALT ON TAXPAYERS. We don’t know why, perhaps, but Secretary of the 'Ngvy Daniels is urging an appropriation of $600,000,000 for building ‘the.world’s premier navy. It would seem as if some of the resident’s official family should get wise to the war burdens Fnflicted upon the taxpayers of the nation and not force them to. pay for this gigantic and senseless propaganda, evolved by the navy’s head. TR SR 8 Py EIGHT SADDLES PER HORSE. Congressman Fordney has E;;covered that at the time of the signing of the armistice we had on hand 128,000 cavalry horses and 1,050,000 saddles for their equipment. - | Largest French Port. | Marsellles has at present in the vi- cinity of 1,000,000 inhabitants, and it Is the largest port in France, as well as one of the wealthiest Indus- trial and commercial centers. It is a distributing market for numerous products required in southeastern France and the French African colo- nles, but in the case of toys Paris con- trols the trade.

Missouri Mule Always There. The Missouri mule was in the war long before the Missourl soldier en- tered It. The declaration of war was made for him. in 1914, two years and a half before Pershing and the thou- sands of other Missourfans got their orders to wheel into line. He had made @ brilliant record there before their ap- pearance. But, according to the Lon- don advices, he seems to have felt the impulse of Missouri behind him at the last, for {itis written: “The mule shared in the big British advances on the western front this fall and proved his grit and worth by keeping right up with the rapidly advancing artillery,” That 1s a Missouri characteristic. Honey. Honey {8 the best substitute for sugar that has yet been found. Im- deed, it is more than a substitute, it Few people, unfortu- ¥, know how to keep honey. All too often it is stored in an ite chest or a cold cellar. Under such condi- tions it is almost certain to solidify or turn into candy. The best place to keep honey_ is on the top shelf in a warm cupboard. If you find that it has hardened set the container in a pan of hot water until the contents liquefy again. There is little adultera- tion of honey these days, for adulter- ~ted honey Is easy to detect. You ean it and eat it without fear. sz, o THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER “BARKIS IS WILLIN',” DOUGHBOYS SHOUT American Singer Most Proposed to Girl in France’ Today. Miss Helen Besler, daughter of the president of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, is probably the most pro- posed to girl in France today. It all came about because one night she ran out of “encores,” and sang a little nur- sery song called “If No One Ever Mar ries Me.” It goes like this: “If no one ever marries me— And I don't see why they should, For nurse says I am not pretty, And I'm seldom very good.” The fate of the little girl in the song was to buy a rabbit hutch and live all alone in a little wood. But the Amer- ican soldlers saw no reason why Miss Besler, who is pretty and “petite” and a typleal American girl, should have a similar lot., After they had given her the three cheers and a tiger with which they usually thank the Y, M. C. A. en- tertainers, they hesitated a moment and then added a purely personal message. “Barkis is willin’,” called the A. BE. P, as one man, Since then the incident has been re- | . peated In every American camp Miss Besler has visited. No censor would allow an estimate to pass of the num- ber of proposals Miss Besler has re- celved in that way. MRS. ALBEPT L. MILLS President of league. WEARS SILVER KNEECAP Soldier Hit by a German Piece of Shrapnel. Mayhe Private Thomas Harrison of the Eighteenth infantry, formerly .of Jefferson City, Mo., is “hard boiled,” hut he has a right to be. Thomas has had a “run in” with the Boche, and he has a sflver kneecap instead of the one he took overseas a year ago. He is convalescing now at the United the Army Service States General hospital, Fort Des Moines, Ia. It was at Chateau Thierry that Pri- vate Harrlson “got his.” He spot- ted a German machine gun in a near- by tree. “Kidlike, I thought I could get that guy,” says Thomas, *“Just as I blazed away with my riflé, a machine gun on the ground opposité me barked, and a bullet caught me in the knee. Al chunk of shrapnel followed and scraped my kneecap off. I crawled to a shell hole, and lay for hours waiting for a stretcher bearer to pick me up.” There are a number of Missouri men convalescing ‘at the United States hosf, pital at Fort Des Moines. HOME ON CRUTCHES Girl's Dream About Her Brother Came True. One night one of the sisters of Pri- vate George A. Egan of Syracuse, N.Y., a veteran of thé Twenty-third infantry, dreamed she saw her brother coming home and that he was on crutches She saw so clearly and was so thor. oughly convinced the apparition woulé come true she told her employer not to expect her back ‘the following daj at work, Without a ‘doubt in her mind, she arose the next morning and awalted the arrival of her brother, who had been absent for more than a year. The rest of the family scoffed at her. About 7:30 the following morning the rat-tat-tat of crutches on the walk leading to their home was heard, and George appeared at the kitchen door.

Hardin county, Iowa, claims the state record for the continuous service of a threshing machine. Ed Johns, near Towa Falls, has a machine which he is stilf using which was built in 187. The machine was originsily bought for $1,200, (HURCHES PRESBYTERIAN:- Sunday morning at the Presby- terian church at 11 o'clock the pastor will gpeak on the subject, “Buying Up Opportunity” (Epheisians 5:16), The Sunday evening seryice will he a union-service at the Baptist church, It will be the closing service of our week of prayer and Rev.

Postoffice Box 222 Telephone 167 The Best Way to Treat Constipation BY §. C. BABCOCK, M. D. The medical boo!s name many drugs that will move the bowels, The drug store shelves are loaded down. with laxatives, purgatives and pill-. The trouble with most of them is th- after-effects. Con- stipated people know that pills work all right for a little while, but they soon lose their eficet, and a clange has to be made to somothing else. The constant taking of pills results in a forin of bowel inactivity that is difficult to curc. -The system be- comes so accustomcd to Isxative .dmgs' that the organs just won't work without them, and so the piil hubit becomes as bad as constipation itsell. Dr. Piercg, of Buf- falo, N. Y., scems to me to have the right idea. He says the lowels should first be eently moved with Pierce’s Pleasant Pel- lets, and in the mcantime laxative foods only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive oil, spinach, bran, vecetables and fruits are fine for constipation. Chew every bite thoroughly, eat little meaf, nnd' be ¢ active as fpossible. Now, doesn’t that seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will start the bowels working right; then it is up to you to keep them right by" right eating. Try Pleasant Pellets for sick ‘headache, coated tongue, biliousness, dizziness, tor- pid liver or to break up a cold. They are just fine! : S Dr. Pierce’s Anodyne Pile Ointment soothes, cools and heals piles in a most gratifying w Perhaps there is no other remedy for this torturing trouble that ieves so sufely and quickly. Dr. Pierce Anodyne Pile Ointment will over- case that can be overcome by rec reatment. -y it _right now. Dr. Picree's Anuric Tablets are intended for people who suffer from kidney dis- orders—whose backs ache,- and whose systems are overrun with uric acid. Near] evurybody has too much uric acid.
