" In electing H. L. Arnold. of the - town of Northern to presidency of the South ‘Beltrami County- Farm' bureau, delegates of the association chose'a' good man to-succeed Hon. the the A. E. Rako of .Bemidji' township. The latter filled the office acceptably, despite the time he was obliged ‘to spend ‘in St. Paul as a member of the state legislature, and the meeting- of the bureau Saturday was the largest attended in its history. Another newly chosen official is J. J. McCurdy of Bemidji, ‘mamed for secretary-treasurer, he returning to Bemidji from Baudette, where he w111 be the new nnpermtendent of the county farm. - All other officials are of sterling worth and have rendered valuable service in promoting the remarkable growth of the organization. Two speakers, known state wide, made addresses to the bureau members, they: being R. W. Thatcher of the University of Minnesota department of agriculture,:and S. B. Cleland, assistant county agent leader, and what they had to say was valuable to all who heard. One of the chijef sponsors for the success of the session was A. W. Aamodt, South Beltrami County agricultural agent, who has been a tireless worker in-the development of agri- culture in all its details in this part of the county, and he hopes others will j6in the bureau association and enhance its efficiency along farm lines on a more widespread scope. There is every reason to believe this will be the result. — SOMETHING TO DO. Our old friend congress is back on the job again. Assuming that our distinguished servants are:there to per- form the will of the people, we have the unblushing temerity to suggest that they have a-plénty to do. Among the more 1mportant matters which demand atten- tion, are: i A conclusion of the peace treaty with Germany. Settlement of the league of nations in a manner which will | be at léast in a measure satigfactory.to the American people. - Efl'ectual cure«of that old cankering sore in the American ) slde—Me : &‘men{of strikes in such a manner that the consum- iing pubkc will no longer be affected by both capital and labor.

It means business and it expects results. e o If, as we are told, every man is the architect of his own fortune, some people must be extremely gifted in the art of drawing lines. : —_—— Don’t become too. peeved ever the unsettled condltlon of Better times are ahead. sffax{s LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS. " “The Other Man’s Wife,” a séreen versign of one of the most convineing stories of domestic disturbances ever written, is to be shown in this city. The management of the Grand thea- tre has gone to unusual expense to obtain thlstfodructlon and it is hoped many perséns will take advantage of this opportunity and attend one of the performances. There's a lesson taught that all should learn. ‘We are all looking for happiness. you how to find it.. At the Grand NEWS OF THE THEATERS LATEST PHOTOPLAY FEATURES.

They are represented by the American Nflfiml .council of Uhro-Rusins.

This:was ratified by an American plebiscite. -Uhro-Rusinia has a population.of about one million. Its capital is Uzhorod.
