VTS | | wrpY e PIONEF] o v P P10 L THE ‘TWENTIETH CENTURY’ LIMITED Why Not? | We noticed a Ford being driven around the city the other day with a sign like this: “License Applied For.” If we are any judge of some of the home-made improvements on: that lit- tle old Ford, we suggest that the sign be changed to: “Patent Applied For.” That might serve as some protection for the owner. —But How Much?— Ancther Way. According to a request made to the city council Monday, it seems that Bemidji’s new white way lamp posts are already in the way, since a pros- pective builder asks that one be moved several feet. The city engi- neer was instructed to give the party a little light on the subject. It is quite apparent that a little light on| the subject might help to keep the| lamp posts from being in the way,! now that we have them. —Turn on the Agua, Casey— Such a Surprise “Is that all there is to it?” asked a lady who appeared before the coun- cil Monday night with a request, af- ter being given all the information at hand. No doubt but that she ex- pected to hear much heated .argu- ment after witnessing the commotion caused by previous requests. —And Was Disappointed— Picturesk A Jackpot | The above picture might be said to describe a jackpot, but not the! kind you heard daddy say he got mix-| ed up in last night.

An American engineer tells of train that will convenlently’ sfop whenever freight or passengers appear by the side of the track. This rail- way is to be found in Egypt. The train at starting, as seen by the American, consisted only, of the engine and coach, which might have been & baggage car with four windows cut in_it, and a bench placed all around. But _before it had gone very far the traim came upon a couple of trucks filled with cane standing on the line in the middle of a cane field. ~These were attacked to the front of the engine, which moved slowly along till they came to another batch. These were almost empty, but. the cargo was piled on each side of-the line, and Arabs rapidly loaded them, while the employees took advantage of the dev lay to water the engine. - This task .was performed fn the most primitive fashion by two.wa- ter carriers, .who, having .placed a notched section of a date -tree be- tween the engine and the ground, to serve as a ladder, laboriously filled the gontskins, which are swung on. their backs, at a ditch by the side of the track, climbed up the tree.ludder to the engine and emptied their. toat: skins into the bofler. By the time 1t was full the trucks, were loaded, and the train proceeded, pushing about & dozen trucks before it.
