OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS ! —_— | WE'RE BOOSTING, NOT KNOCKING : i A friend of ours imparted a secret today, in 'w}uch we were informed that a previous editorial carried in it a_ “ham- mer.” Why, bless your heart, dear reader, we’ve buried the hammer so long ago, that it would take a coroner and several yndertakers to find it. ‘ We have in mind no onewho deserves a ha]q, nor have we‘| in mind anyone who rileeds to be assassinated, literally.

Let’s make every visitor a perma- nent booster for Bemidji this year. Let not a single opportunity pass to treat the “stranger” within our gates courteously and with the utmost respect. e Gy Below are a few of the many pithy paragraphs in the| speech of Ole Hanson, former Seattle mayor, who has recently returned from an extended trip in Europe. We believe they are worth reading and thinking about: . ““The world is in a chaotic state and it isn’t going to go arly good to blame one another or-eall one- a'nofl\- ernames. We have got to consider the matter without prejudice. b “Less than 100 years ago, the first law was passed for the benefit of labor. It was enacted in England —and it took thirty years to pass it. It provided that no child under 7 years of age should be compelled to; work more than 12 hours a day. I have seen'the 16- hour working day cut to 14 hours and then to 12 and finally to 8. “From the day Lenine and Trotzky entered Russia there has not been one day of happiness, one day of security of life or one day of sufficient food and cloth- ing in that benighted country. “I talked with prominent Russians and they ad- mitted that Communism and Socialism had failed com- pletely. Two hundred and fifty German radicals went to Russia to partake of the blessings of their govern- ment. Seventy-five died and the others came back to Germany and are now speaking against bolshevism. “It takes a month to earn a pair of shoes in Russia. If one works all year and saves all his money, not | spending a cent for food or clothing, he can earn cnough to buy a suit of clothes. The Russians are absolutely the most abject of people. “There is only one thing to do to any aliens who do not want to become citizens of this country and that is to put them on a ship and send them back to the country from which they came.” “Why, one can’t have a coal firé in England with- out a doctor’s prescription. Istayed at one of the best hotels in England and learned there were only four bathrooms in it. “I didn’t find any hungry neople in Denmark. \ “We should adopt a restrictive and selective emi- gration law, Persons wishing to come here should be questioned before their departure. We want a cer- tificate from the place where they were raised as to what kind of people they are, what they can do, etc. Then they should be distributed to the section of the country where they are needed. “There are 10,000 Europeans landing in the Unit- ed States every day—all going to the larger cities to make little Swedens, little Polands, ,little Norways, little Jerusalems, etc. ““We must not let any more East Side of New York or more Milwaukees grow up. You remember Berg- er?. ilwaukee shouldn’t have had a congressman. They should have sent an ambassador to Washington. “Don’t let any outsider come herc and foment trouble,- “If you get together you can make this a real town ere ‘there is brotherly love and freedom. Some eipployérs think they are better than their work- ers and;some workers think that they are better than their employers. The truth is, they are all alike. “Adopt the golden rule for your,conduct and the clouds, which hover about America, will pass s away.”.

The Thrilling Tale. of the Wonders of a Wonder Worker, Told in Monthly Install- ments by Kilo Watt, himself. P.S.—Don’t miss a single chapter ' 4 AST month, I, K. ‘Watt, started to - explain to the Housewives of the Country, who are the agers of the Biggest Business in_ the World — HOUSE- KEEPING—something of my family history in explanation of my name and my qualifi- cations as a Servant. To con- tinue: . During the early part of the Ninteenth Century, ex- periments with Electric Force were being carried on by many “scientists, among whom was-A. M. Ampere of France, whose contribution to My Present Power and Ability was so warmly re- garded as to cause his name to be used as a term, “Am- pere,” meaning: " The rate of flow of elec- tricity through a wire; that is, the amount passing thru per second, just as gallons per second or cubic inches ' per second measure the rate of flow of water sent thru a pipe. At ‘the same time James Watt, a Scotchman, was dis-" covering and developing steam power and the steam engine. The Powey or force produced by his steam engine - and by electric force were compared and his last name therefore is used as an elec- trical term, “Watt,” which is: Man-. The power produced by a given number of amperes sent through, a wire at a giv- en voltage, just as “horse. power” is the measure of power produced by a given number of gallons or cubic inches of water per minute sent through a pipe at a giv- en pressure. Watts in turn may be measured in horse- power when the energy is used for power purposes, or in candle-power when used ‘for lighting purposes. , Watts ' are measurable units of power- or energys, just as “foot-pounds” are a measure of power or energy. One horsepower equals 746 watts, or 33,000 foot-pounds per minute. (A horsepower ° * is the amount of energy re- quired to raise a weight of 33,000 pounds one foot from the ground in one minute.) Therefore, my last nan:e very plainly means a definite measure of Electrical Power, or Force, produced under the conditions stated above.
