OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS fi ' .JOY AND SORROW HAND IN HAND i On May 30th a hundred million people bowed their heads g in tribute to the heroes who have fallen in our American wars. It is custom—the sorrowful gratitude of a nation. On July 4th we will not sorrow. We will jubilate over the glorious acts of our forefathers, who made this country free. That, too, is custom—a custom born of an excess of joy. And so it is through life. No matter how poignant our grief may be today, there is It is the destiny of life that joy must be accompanied by gorrow, and sorrow must give way to joy, 'Never are we per- mitted to know one to the exclusion of the other. We are in this life but a little while, each one as but a grain of sand on the glistening beach. The flowing tides of life bring us into being—we ‘tarry a little while—and the outward rush sweeps us into eternity. The sands of life are as those of the beach—ever shifting. They come, they linger, and they go, but never is the movement limited to one direction. ) There is joy over our advent today, and sorrow over our departure tomorrow. Joy and sorrow, hand in hand. Life is nothing else. O GETTING CLOSE TO BOTTOM Bang! down they go!. Did you notice advertisements of reductions in automobiles? Reductions were announced in Ford and Dodge cars. Mr. “Ford” tells us just how much—Mr. “Dodge” doesn’t. But Mr. Dodge will no doubt tell anyone how much the reduction is if they’re interested. On the quiet, we heard it was about $300, It is only a short time ago that we saw sweeping reductions al) along the line, It is an indication of the trend of the times. Who is next? Multi-millionaires are becoming too much of a nfutltiplicity in this country. We will have to use greater discretion in this rapid accumulation of wealth, or there will be no poor men left to do the work. ““in the quality of the milk supply in Bemidji and vicinity; not| HATS OFF TO THE ENGLISH Over in England some of them are feeling justifiably cockey because they beat the Americans at playing golf. i Good enough! We are glad they have found something at | which they can beat Americans, even if it is nothing more ex-| citing than golf. PR | It would never do for us to excel our English cousins in ev-| erything. It would be ungenerous of us, and very disconcerting| to them. ; Some day we may tire of doing the useful things of life—| of progressing in the sciences, and in industry, and in agricul- ture, and education, and in accumulating the wealth of the world. ~ We may even cease our steady grind of work and produc-| tion, and decide that it is time to enjoy the glories of the pres- ent and anticipate those of the future. | Then, perhaps, we may learn to play golf—the pastime of affluence and dignity. PR EDITORS’ OUTING AT DULUTH If the plans of Secretary “Doc” Rutledge are carried out, the outing of the Northern Minnesota editors at Duluth July 21,,’ 22, 23 and 24 will éap the climax of all previous occasions. | Tt will have a Fourth of July celebration, where they bang| a hundred guns at sunrise, beat a mile, because Doc’s program| won’t even permit one to sleep. His program provides enter-| tainment while we sleep. 1 Indications are that the largest crowd ever gathered at a .,ozood time outing will be present when the big “fireworks” be-| n. His plan is to “make” Duluth and all the Range towns in‘I four days’ time, and; the way he has planned it, this can be done and done right. Leave it to Doc for a successful party. He not/ only has made good on‘all outings in the past, but has succeed-| ed in making each one better than the one before. 2 O — IMPROVED MILK SUPPLY 1t is gratifying to see that there has been an improvement; : that we were any worse than many other towns, but the fact that as soon as methods of improvement were pointed out to the dairymen they at once fell in line and complied with the advice. | The result, according to those inspecting the milk and herds, is| an improvement of 100 per cent. Many new milk houses have been constructed and many more are under construction, indi- | cating the desire on the part of the dairymen to give Bemidji the best milk possible to supply. ARG L DOPE ON ADVERTISING When one scatters a feeding of corn to a chicken, would it be reasonable to expect that chicken to get fat and grow because of that one feeding? Yet, many so-called business men expect | fat returns from one advertisement. Is that reasonable? | It is the advertising which you do that brings success, not | that which is neglected or left undone. : 4 | 1t is the results they show on the diamond-that-makes thei standing of a ball club, not the fine uniforms they wear.

But some years back I began having indigestion and Tanlac fixed my stomach up in first- class_condition in just a little while, and I quit taking it because I had no idea it would help my back. Then | last July, while working in the ship- | year. meet. yards, that pain suddenly struck me in my back and my son had to carry me home. I went rightt to bed, could | hardly move and it seemed that noth- ing could help me. Finally I got to where I could be up a little, but was so weak I could hardly walk. My back hurt terribly and my kidneys bothered me so I could scarcely sleep. My appetite was poor and I was al- most a complete nervous and physical wreck. ““Remembering how Tanlac had built me up before, I started taking it again.” It soon had my stomach in fine shape, and, to my surprise, I found that the pain had disappeared from my back also. I have a fine ap- petite now, always feel strong and full of energy and my back is in fine condition. I can stoop over without a bit of trouble and get about as well as a man half my age.” Tanlac is sold in Brmidii he +ha City Drug Store and leading drug- gists,—Advertisement. “Help the Boys ~ Through ‘Vacation R T AR fGnoom COWS AFTER MILKING Dust and Germs Prevented From Con- taminating Milk Supply—Do All Work Between Times.
