America, always ready to c’oneede to. herself the reputation of being th® greatest nation on earth to do big things and get things done on a huge scale, in the midst of her attempt to get back to ng-war basis of production and-values, may well turn her eyes to France and examine the record - that war-bled and devastated country -has made gince the signing of the armistice.. ‘e & The end of the -Franco-Prussian -war found France a defeated and devastated - country, de- pressed over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine and con-. fronted with an indemnity of a billion dollars to be paid to Germany. Instead of crippling France as Had been thought, this indemnity to be paid off only. stimulated the. natural _ability -of 'the French . people_ to produce -and . save, ‘with the result that in just twenty-six months the entire indemnity -had been paid. ) 3 At the end of the world war France stgdd vie- torious, though badly wounded, joyfully welcom- . PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (By EXCHRANGE EDITOR) Governor Cox dished out a.warm line of taffy for Hiram Johnson in California. He probably reasons that after that Hiram will deal more kindly with him and his advocacy of the Wilson treaty. Hiram is some clever politician himself, and when . he dissects Cox’s argument on this document, Cali- fornia is quite likely to show Maine what a real republican majority is.—St. C]oud' Journal Press. e November 2, next, will be the fiftieth birthday of Senator Warren G. Harding, the day on which he will be elected president of the United States. 1t is also significant that his running mate, Governor Calvin Coolidge, was born on’July 4th, and it looks like the handwriting of fate. Harding was born on November 2, 1865, and Coolidge on July 4, 1872.—S8t. Cloud Journal Press. Harding says he would rather “break the heart of the world than to destroy the soul of America.” If we must.do one thing of the two, the next presi-: dent is right. Article X of the league covenant, unmodified, surely would wipe out America’s in- dependence of the rest of the world.—Red Wing Republican. 3 — : _Doing_fairly well. Out of eight men tried as being guilty of the hanging of the three regroes TWENTY YEARS AGO | Last winter, A. T. Wheelock’s employment agency furnished over 1.000 men to the various logging camps around Ecmidji, and there is, perhaps, no better authority on labor conditions than he. He says there will be a demand for at least 5,000 men this. winter in the camps within thirty-five miles of Bemidji. At least five hundred men are needed" at once in the building of roads and camps. Basing his estimate on last -winter’s work and the present plans of the loggers, Mr. Wheelock makes the following estimate of the amount of work to be done around here this season: T. B. Walker, 200,000,000 feet. employing 2,000 men and operating thirty camps; Blakeley and Farley, 100,000,000 feet, 1,000 men, fifteen camps; Brain- erd Lumber eompany, 75,000,000 feet, 750 men, eight camps; Scanlon and Gipson, 40,000,000 feet, "ing the return of her lost provinces and logking forward to the receipt of a huge indemnity from Ge:m'dny. A recovery from a four-year war must naturally take longer than from a conflict' lasting less than 'a year, but France has attacked the problem - with indomitable courage and is again calling upon the thrift and endurance of her people to restore the former wealth and industrial power of their country. i The problem ‘of febuilding over half a inillion i homes and thirty-eight hundred factories was the \ first to confront the ‘hation. By -means of a loan from the French government 76 per cent of the thirty-eight hundred fgctories which had been. de- stroyed were rebuilt and_operating by June 1st, 1920.. ‘Houses capable of sheltering 870,000 have been built since the armistice and 5,345 schools of the 6,445 destroyed have been-rebuilt.- Of the 265,000,000 cubic yards of trenches, 156,000,000 have ‘been- filled in and .200,000,000 square yards of land cleared of barbed wire. . Thirteen thousand <miles of highways have been completely repaired. 0f the railroad' system, 1,810 miles of double track railroad had been destroyed. These. have been en- tirely rebuilt together with 1,610 bridges, 12 tun-. nels and 586 railway stations.” ; During the period of fime Aniérican railroads rea ' quired to argue with the government for their release and “the granting of “loans ‘to. resuscitate them,French Tailroads got the money from-their government, tebuilt the roads, bridges, 'stations, etc.,-and got back close to normal. . This surely is a lesson to Ameticans and shows what can be ac- complished when a nation is really willing to work and cease playing politics. ? - "Developments of a similar nature have followed , “in all other lines of industry.” The - -exports of France for the six months ended June, 1920, were more than six billion francs, in excess of the same period inv1919é and the imports about two billion francs more. . All this has been brought about by the willing- ness of the French people to work long and hard, and instead of aiming at reducing the working hours of the day they have been aiming at making - more of the products to live with. at Duluth by a mob, three have been found guilty and deset_ve a similar fate. Four were acquitted and the jury disagreed on the other.—Stillwater Gazette. - —0— 3 What has become of the old-fashioned man who stopped his newspaper and then & aited to see the . announcement that the publisher had- failed.—St. Ofoud Daily Times. o —— = - .

Many of these firms will in whole or in part make Bemidji their héadquarters this winter. Wages promise to be -as high as last winter—common laborers, $25 to $30; teamsters, $30 to $40; load- ers, $40; blacksmiths and cooks, $40 to $60. Wages at present are $26 per month.and board for com- mon labor and the demand exceeds the supply about five to one. = / All of the lumbermen,. from boss to foremen, say the result of the election will largely determine the amount to be done this winter.

Room shortage has been a problem. Last year 300 short ‘term students were turned away be- cause they could not find living ac- comodations . A wide variety of courses are of- fered. In addition to college courses, which include ‘complete courses in agriculture, several courses in engi- neering, chemistry, science, litera- ture, home economics, etc., four years of high school for. students from towns where they have only one or two years high school facilities age given. In addition there are five in- dividual industrial courses; drafts- man, and builders, farm husbandry, homemaking, power machinery and practical pharmacy.
