THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1920 HAS MADE 600D Sixth District Congressman Makes Fine Record In Na- tional Legislature. ASKS FOR RE-ELECTION Hss Done Much for Soldiers, Sallors, Marines and His Constituents in General—8ome of His Accom- plishments. Congressman Harold Knutson has announced that he will not leave Washington while Congress is in ses- sfon, even though the campaign is on 4n the Sixth district. In a recent let- fer to a friend in this city he said in part: “It will not be possible for me to leave Washington at this time, for there are a number of important fmeasures pending in congress and I flo‘ol that my place is here until they fhave been disposed of. I have every oonfidence that the voters of the 6th District can be trusted to do the right thing when the time comes, and I will leave my political fortunes in their hands.” . That is the sort of Congressman yepresenting this district. In the Stressful campaign of two years ago he refused to leave his post of duty fo come back and look after his own political weltare. In the heat of bat- tle he remained in Washington, faith- g-g:y attending to the duties of his office, and the result showed that his confidence in the good judgment of the people was well founded. . Harold Knutson made good in Con- gress from the start. He took his seat jn’the body on April 2, 1917. Early in his congressional career his col- Jeagues recognized his capacity, for hard work and he was made assistant HAROLD KNUTSON Member of Congress. whip of the Republican minority. ‘When the Republicans gained control of the House as a result of the last election, Mr. Knutson was made ma- jority whip, an honor never before held by one so young in point of serv- fce, and in that capacity he has been able to do much for the District. He is a member of three important com- mittees, namely, Immigration Naturalization, Pensions, and Insular Affairs, being second ranking mem- ber of the first two which makes him in line for an important chairmanship in the next Congress. He is the author of a number of important bills and resolutions, among them being: A resolution directing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and report on profiteering and hoarding of sugar. A resolution appropriating $260,000 to be spent by the Bureau of Chemis- try, Department of Agriculture, to dis- cover a suitable substitute for gaso- Mne which, it is hoped, will result in the finding of a power fuel that will make it possible for those of small mesans to operate tractors and auto- mobiles. ‘What Me Has Done for the Farmer. He took an active part in the pass- age of the bill authorizing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to purchase $64. 000,000 worth of Farm Loan Bonds so as to provide money for the Farm Loan Banks with which to complete all applications pending for farm loans. As is well known, the con- stitutionality of the act establishing the Farm Loan system is being at- tacked by large Eastern financial fn- terests, and until the U. S. supreme court passes upon the question next October, it will not be possible to sell Farm Loan bonds in the open market. The passage of the bill referred to will afford immediate relief to those who have made application for loans with which to build, buy necessary farm equipment, and liquidate out- standing obligations, and this will mean a great deal to the settlers of northern Minnesota. Mr. Knutson took a leading part in the movement to repeal the “Day- light Savings” law, notwithstanding 2 opposition of the President, who oed the bill providing for its re- r. Knutson also voted to pass AMERICAN LEGION HAROLD KNUTSON |z 1 the bill over the President’s veto. AUXILIARY POSTS For Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. Helped to secure passage of neces- sary legislation to allow discharged sorvice men to retain their uniforms and other equipment. He has taken an active part in the campaign to modernize court martial procedure in tas Army, and as a ce- sult of the efforts prt forth by himself and several otuer members of Con- gress, a subcommitee of the House nds been named tc revise the military code of the United States Army. 18 expected and hoped that this will result in improving the condition of It THE BEMIDJI BEING ORGANIZED St. Paul, June 16.—A steady stream of requests for information regarding the formation of Auxiliary posts, is being received at headquar- ters of the Minnesota department of the American Legion, it was stated today by Harrison Fuller, department commander. Minnesota leads every state in the union in the number of women’s auxiliary posts. There are 93 organized in this state.

'He voted for the Sweet Bill, which increased the cciapensation of disabl- ed soldiers, sailors and marines, and liberalized the insurance features of the War Risk Insurance Act. Under the provisions of this act the compen- sation to disabled ex-service men was nearly trebled, and also increased the benefits to their dependents. He has secured the adjustment of several thousand cases involving in- surance, allotments, compensation, discharges, vocational training, bonus and travel pay. His office enjoys the distinction of not having lost a single discharge certificate of the many hun- dreds handled by him; and so we might go on. What He Has Done for Northern Minnesota. Now, let us get nearer home. Ask anyone in Bemidji or Beltrami County what he has done for this section and see what they say. No matter ever called to his attention has provea too small or trivial to command his best attention. He has worked hard for Northern Minnesots. In conjunction witk Congressman Halvor Steener- son, he has labored to secure legisla- tfon necessary for the deepening and straightening of Red Lake River, which will reclaim several hundred thousand acres of fertile agricultural land tributary to Bemidji, and it is un- derstood that the Flood Control Com- mittee of the House has reported this measure out favorably. This is a plece of legislation earnestly desired by the people of Beltrami and adjoin- ing counties. Until Mr. Knutson was sent to con- gress it seemed impossible to get the Engineers of the War Department to regulate the water levels in the Fed- eral reservoirs at the headwaters of the Mississippi in the interest of ag- riculture. Prior to 1917, surplus wat- ers were run off without regard to in- terests of the farmers living in the territory adjacent to the various reser- voirs, especially Leech Lake, but a short time after getting to Washing- ton, Mr. Knutson succeeded in chang- ing that policy. i Congressman Knutson has succeed- ed in securing an appropriation of $105,000 for construction of a highway across the Cass Lake Forest, so that by next fall there will be a good road from. Bemidji to Duluth. It {8 expect- ed that work on this project will be commenced in the very near future. When Mr. Knutson first became a candidate for congress, it was urged against him that, coming from one of the best developed and richest coun- ties in the state (Stearns), which is situated in the southern end of the ‘district, he would not understand the needs of the more northern and unde- veloped countries. He has proven that he does understand the needs of this section, and is always ready to ;lve his sympathetic assistance to every movement looking to the devel- opment of Northern Minnesota. There are a number of rural routes and postoffices in this section which he has assisted in establishing, and the homesteader has in him a good and faithful friend—Bemidji Sentinel. POLITICAL ADVERTISING. (Inserted by Harold Knutson, in his own behalf. The sum of $10.80 to be paid.) 1d6-17 ——————— ] Prisoners in Famous Tower. Not everybody can boast of baving been imprisoned in the Tower of Loa- don, but history witnesses to many people having been there and feeling & good deal less amused than did a par ty of sight-seetrs who found them- gelves locked in the tower. While visitors were inspecting the armories and vaults in the White tower, the gar- rison was suddenly aroused by the ringing of the alarm bells, which im- mediately resulted in the barring and bolting of gates and doors, 80 that mo egress was possible. It is supposed that, in connection with the:repajre golng on, a workman unintentiomally touched a wire attached to the alarm sigoals.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache Is Sign You Have Been Eating Too Much Meat When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well- known authority. Meat forms urie acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from youy pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous saits is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink.
