5o 5 PAGE FOUR J. F. Johnson, secretary of the Hines Potato Growers’ assoclation, accompanied by his wife and daugh- ter, are in Bemidji today to attend the Farm Bureau meeting. Mr. Johnson says that members of the club have decided to plant at least 200 acres in potatoes, and that this total may be increased to 300 ares. TO PLANT EIGHTY ACRES, George Miller, who is the largest grower of potatoes in the Bemidji vicinity, is planting eighty acres in potatoes this year. In treating the seed potatoes Miller is following the method recommended by the Farm Bureau and {s enthusiastic over the plan. Last year Miller grew 12,000 bushels of potatoes, WILL HOLD EXAMINATION. When Deputy Sheriff James Cahill and George Shea return from Kel- liher, where they have been collect- ing delinquent taxes, they will bring Miiton Sullivan, who will be taken before Judge 'of -Probate Harris for examination a8 to his sanity. DIDN'T MEAN IT LITERALLY " English Seldier’s Expressed ' Wish That Death Might Come Was Fol- lowed by Hasty Revision. Ma). Gen. John J. O'Ryan, who has Just returned from France, has brought back a number of humorous stories of the battlefleld. Here i one he tells about an English sentinel: “The Twenty-seventh division was in Flanders, where it rains almost con- tinuously,” began the general. “There were English troops billeted near by. One night, after a particularly hard rain, this. English chap was on duty. When he thought no one was around he began to curse everything in gen- eral, the weather, the Germans and his own luck. ‘Oh, 1 say, this is blawsted weather, dontcha know. 1 wish I was out of this beastly mud,' the English sentry muttered. A few minutes later he was cursing the rain which beat {n bis face. ‘Gawd, but I wish I was out of this beastly water,’ he mused agaln. Just then the Ger- mans opened a heavy fire and made | things uncomfortable for everyone. ‘Ob, Gawd, but this Is beastly, said the sentry, raising.his volce. ‘Oh, I do hate those blawsted Germans. I wish I were dead’ Simultaneously with his last words a big ‘Minnie’ dropped almost at the sentry's feet. When.he recovered he was lying in a hole covered with. mud but uninjured. The .sentry sat -up, rubbed the -mud from his eyes, and then gazing heav- enward, sald, ‘Oh,. T say, Gawd, cawn’t you take a blawsted joke? "—New York Sun. FAR BEYOND ALLOTTED SPAN Instances of Remarkable Cases of Longevity Which Seem to Be Well Authenticated. ‘The death at Nenagh, County Tipper- ary, Ireland, of Mrs. Bourke, who was reported to have reached the age of 121 years, has led the London Daily Express to make a record of some of the other famous cases of longevity. In 1904 the regimental chaplain of the 18th Bengaliinfantry was §till conduct- ing services in Citlcutta at the age of 130. In 1808 Andrel Nikolalevitch Schmidt, a Russlan, produced papers which showed that he was 136 years old, and had enlisted In the Reval battallon In 1798, The same year Hadjt Raout was 133, and was still earning a living as a saddler in Con- stantinople, but he was a juvenile com- pared with Quo-Ka-Num, an Indian chief who roamed the shores of Puget sound at the age of 160. He was gen- erally conceded by Europeans more likely to be 200, and he clalmed to re- member the time when fron was un- kpown to his tribe. He was 2 feet & inches In height and did not weigh 50 pounds. A few years ago a Chinese woman reached Montreal. She had left her native land when 70, and had lived in Demerara for 100 years. In 1912 Europe had 7.000 living centenari- uns, of whom 8,888 were Bulgarians. New Canadian Coat of Arms, The Canadlan government {s con- oldering adopting a new coat of arms for the dominion—one which shall rep- resent all the provinces in the confed- eration. The present coat of arms is representative of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick only, for those were the original provinces; and since it was adopted in 1858 Prince Edward island and British Co- lumbia have entered the federation, and finally Saskatchewan and Alberta have been carved out of what were the Northwest territories. When a de- @lgn emblematic of these nine prov- inces has been chosen by the commit- tee and approved by the goverument it will be submitted to the royal col- lege of heralds in England to be reg- fstered. A royal warrant declaring it the official arms of Canada will then be issued. e ‘Mohanimedans. The Mohammedans, according to carefully compiled figures, number 228,985,780 of the world's inhabitants, or one seventh of the entire popula- tion of the earth. They are distrih- uted as follows: 1India, 62,458,077; Java, 24,270,600; Russia (Europe and Asia), 20,000,000 ; Turkey (Europe and Asla), 14,278,800; China, - 8,000,000; Mohammedan countries like Egypt, Persia, Morocco,” Algeria, Arabia and Afghanistan, 6,000,000 to 10,000,000; Central America and West Indles. 22,600; British Gulana, 22,600; Unite” States, 8,000; Dutch Gulana, 5800 About 95,000,000 followers of t* prophet are living under British ru! LARGE ACREAGE IN POTATOES. | BOARD OF CONTROL WILL .. - OPEN 32 BUILDING BIDS Beginning a $3,600,000 state build- ing program for 1919-29, the board of ‘control this week will open bids on thirty-two, buildings, estimated to cost $175,000. Approximately $2,- 000,000 was appropriated by the re- cent legislature for new buildings at state institutions under the entire management of the board of control, and $1,600,000 additional for new buildings at the state university, narmal schools and other places!not under board control, except when new buildings are to bé erected. The funds are made available during 1919 and 1920, but board members esti- mated that $2,000,000 of construc- tion will be done this year and the remaining amount next year. MAIMED SOLDIERS WILL BE WORTH THEIR WAGES The war-crippled soldiers who are being re-educated by Uncle Sam in vocations suited to their handicaps are to be absorbed into American commercial .and industrial life only on the basis that they are worth their wages, declares Samuel Hop- kins Adams in the June number of the New Red Cross Magazine. Such difficulty as the situation holds, is his conclusion after a thorough study of the program that is being carried out by the government, is not in training the maimed men but in edu- cating the prospective employers. “The manufacturers and business men of the country,” he declares, “must be persuaded out of the na- tural but erroneous belief that be- cause a man has lost an arm or a leg or a sense, he is therefore economicdl- ly a defective; and educated into perceiving that while a cripple can-| not do so many things as a whole| man, those that are within his scope he can perform, after the govern- ment is through with him, better than the average, “Sheer earning capacity is to be the sole basis upon which the govern- ment seeks jobs for its maimed, A thousand men could be scattered and placed on sufferance or sympathy. Thirty thousand, which is the num. ber of more or less incapacitated sol- diers, can be successfully “merged with the nation’s economic structure only on a basis of efficiency.” MEET AT ST- LOUIS. St. Paul, May 14.—A big north- west delegation of Presbyterians was on its way to St, Louis today for the opening of the Presbyterian general assembly tomorrow. William Jennings Bryan, secretary of 'the -state in President Wilson's cabinet may be a candidate for mod- erator, Rev, H, C. Swearingen, pastor of the House of -Hope Presbyterian church here, has been mentioned as a candidate for moderator. - It was reported. from New. York that Bryan might nominate Rev. Swearingen, who formerly was pastor of the church at Lincoln Nebr,, where Bry- an was an elder. Rev. Swearingen denied that he might be a candidate because he said.he is not a fellow commissioner in the assembly,. WANT AD DEPT.
