'PLAN WAR ON FRANCE ‘Germany Said to Be Preparing for Next Conflict. Time WIill Bring on Clash, Is Word of Old and Young of i the Nation. Berlin.—Germany is preparing for §ts pext war. And France is the intended victim. Just when this attack on the French $8 to tuke place has uvot been settled tn the German mind—but every Ger- man, no matter what his age or sta- tian, gays that time is coming—maybe ‘in ten years, maybe twenty or maybe thirty. " But even If there Is doubt as to the exact time of Germany’s effort to avenge the loss of the world war, there does not seem to be felt the least doubt that vengeance will be visited upori the French and that Germany will be successful in the attempt. Germany is not forging aurms or making munitions with that end in view just now, for that would be im- possible. But through propaganda of the most poisonous kind the fire of .hatred is being kindled in the German n-ind. Every German I met voiced to me Yis Latred of France. Every misfor- tune the Germans have met with has been laid to the door of the French. Premier Clemenceau Is hated in Ger- many as no other man ever WAS. The mere mention of his name brings forch dlrect threats of what 18 to happen to France. The evil propagandist is doing his work well. He is reaching not only the mind of the adult German, but his puisor. Is sinking deep into the mind of the rising generation. Even young boys give rise to their hatred and tell how, when they grow up. they will drive the Frenchman from conquered German territory and destroy the French natlon. “Germany soon wiil be stronger than 1'rance, despite our present condition,” sald a German student to me a few da ago. “Then France had better watch out.” GIVE UP OLD WINDMILLS Quaint Structures in Holland Being Replaced by Practical Modern Power Plants. Amsterdam.—Holland is slowly but surely losing the one characteristic of its landscape made famous in art and known to every schoolboy—the squat, fat, lazy looking windmills that for centuries have stood out all over the country’s flat surface. These quaint structures are gradual- Iy giving way to highly practical but ugly steam and electric plants, Dutch technical men say the windmill is doomed. . Now and then a large group of them 1s replaced by one electric plant, and in the course of each year a number are defh-u_wd by fire—presenting a spectacular blaze with the big burning wings wheeling around like fiery arms. “They are never reconstructed. The existing type of Dutch windmill was invented about the year 1400. The great disadvantage of the windmill, of course, it its absolute dependence on weather conditions. For this" reason 1t is being replaced, when possible, by modern machinery. The Dutch windmill, however much it may look in pictures to he a toy, Is far from that. It is a sturdy struc- rure. as biz as n good sized house, and the machinery inside Is extremely pow- erful. Naturally a great many of them re- main, but the number becomes less vear by year, and so far as can be as- certained, the erection of a new one i3 seldom undertaken. e A N 2 Father Missing, His g Family Lodges in Jail . Los Angeles.—Arriving from Seattle to meet her husband here, Mrs. Ruth Anderson, thirty- four years old, with her four voung children, spent a night in the care of the matron at the city jail. Anderson did not meet her. as she had telegraphed him to do. The only clue to her husband which the woman had was that he had been working on the Los Angeles flood control project. Mrs. Anderson and the four children, ranging In ages from ten to fourteen, were taken in charge at the Southern Pacific depot by Police Officer A. A. Sayles. They had had nothing to eat all day and were without funds. Sayles gave them a meal and thien took them to Central station. Got Horned Doe. Renfrew, Canada.—A. spotted fawn, another freak of nature, was shot on the Madawaska river, where John S. Box of Calabogie last week shot a horned doe. It fell before the rifle of Thomas Fraser, whose home is near Calabogie. - Hunters and others have viewed the spotted fawn with a great deal of interest, and old hunters re- port that on two former occasions a freak of nature of a similar kind was brought down from the same part of ~the Madawaska. The amount of game ®ecured in that country was larger this season than ever before. Though nundreds of hunters were in a com- pavatively small area not an accident of any kind is reported. on our books.

At a recent test for candidates who were aspiring for tenderfoot rank in a boy scout troop ome of the ques- tions asked was whether there had been more than 13 stripes in the flag. One little fellow studied long and earnestly before he wrote his answer and then something—maybe visions of home—prompted him to write this answer: “There never were any more than 13 stripes in a United States flag, but there did use to be something very different in the corner of the flag and I feel sure it was a jack pot.” It was some time before the ex- aminer decided that the aspirant re- ferred to something about the Unien Jack.

To be an influence in a great life is a great thing. Miss Mary Berry, who dled in London in 18532, was the last link between the closing eighteenth century and the mid.Victorian era. She was an authoress and gloried in belng the correspondent of Horace Walpole. Indeed, this celebrated gen- tleman made her a fervent offer of his heart and his' hand, but Miss Mary Berry declined the honor. With her sister she took up her abode at Twick- enham, near Strawberry Hill, Wal- pole’s estate. It was Miss Mary Berry who prevailed upon Walpole to give to the world his famous “Reminiscences of the Courts of George I. and IL” Brave as a lion, she defended the name of Walpole before the savage attacks of Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review. We owe to her some of the most charming “Letters of Walpole.” —Chicago Journal. \(‘Q in EvaE:; E‘lfl Printing Tags Cards Blanks i Folders .

You can get it with an Electrified home Electricity is fast superceding old methods in man,\;; depart- The modern home—the COMFORTABLE HOMES now have it. . Have you. ments of the home. We have increased our number of customers from 1,330 on January 1st, 1919, to 1,475 on January 1st, 1920. This shows an increase of 10 per cent and also goes to show that the people of Bemidji are fast coming into the idea of having the ELECTRIFIED HOME. The average consumption of current per year per customer during 1918 was 796 kilowatt-hours (2.18 per day). During 1919 it was 976 kilowatt-hours (2.67) per day. An average increase for everybody through the year of 22.6 per cent. WHY? WHY? WHY? First—Because the stability and dependability of electric service is one reason. Second—The marvelous increase of comforts and conven-. jence in electric service-is another. Third—In spite of eve;-increasing costs on all sides of all commodities so valuable a thing as electric service has remained to appear when you beckon, and has not struck for higher wages. Fourth—It is the ideal force—no danger, no annoyance, no failure. You are losing half of the enjoyment of life if your home is not‘ electrified. ] Minaesota Electric Light & Power Co. v
