Japan is preparing to build a pyra- mid for the first emperor, Jimmu Tenno, somewhere in the suburbs of Tokio, and fer this purpose a com- mittee of prominent men will collect a stone from every subject of the empire says the Argonaut. It is the intention to make this the highest structure in the Far East, Ventilation. b If for any reason sufficient ventila- tion by means of windows and doors is impossible, a pltcher or pail of cold water placed on a table in the center of the room will absorb many of the impurities, This Is sometimes useful in the sick room. The water should be allowed to stand not more than an hour. i Wandering Island.

Bet- week, is authentic, and the scandalous neglect and inhuman|io. come. : treatment of the disabled veterans by the government relief agencies is as reported, no greater disgrace _could bow the heads of a nation. The report states that in New York state alone more than 400 World war veterans committed suicide hecause of despondency brought about by the government’s neglect to take care of them. It also states th'at 5,00u_veterans suffering from mental diseases and tuberculosis are being treat- ed in private hospitals under contracts which ought to be abro-|on the subject, “The Ground Work of | gated at once. g i 1f 'America has broken faith with any of its citizens as a result of the war, it surely has with the disabled and wournided soldiers. Thousands of wounded soldiers who should have re- ceived medical attention long ago are still uncared for, accord- ing to the report of the Sutherland committee. Many of those being treated are receiving their treatment in asylums for the criminal insane, Could anything be worse for the veteran who is'in need of mental care? THe statement of Colonel Abel Davis of Chicago to the ef- fect that there is not a single administrative official who knows the situation seems to exactly explain the cause. There is no co-ordination and no co-operation, When all the agencies hand- ling the digabled soldiers’ problems are consolidated into one and President Harding picks a big man to handle the job as a whole, some real results may be obtained—but not as long as so many agencies are handling it. ~Nothing has contributed more to the unrest of the returned service men than the treatment of their wounded comrades. They were called from their work in life or from their schools and sent by their nation into the jaws of hell. They| came back with the effects of the conflict plainly written upon their bodies and minds. The first duty of the nation was to care for them, and care for them properly, and yet it seems to have been the last thing looked after—and had it not been for the American Legion, and the work it has done for the crippled soldiers, the condition of thousands of them would have been infinitely worse, It is a very late date now—almost three years after the wan is over—to get down to a systematic basis of handling the wounded and crippled, but, if it can be done adequately, even now it will be a boon to many of those who are still struggling along trying to eke out an existence in their crippled condition. i i o THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME The fullness of the meaning of “home, sweet home” was never more realized by the editor than upon his return from a tén-days’ trip to eastern cities. Five states and one of the provinces of Canada were vis- jted, but Northern Minnesota was the most welcome sight of all, With the exception of one part in Southern Wisconsin, and that not a large area, no crops were to be seen to compare with those of Northern Minnesota. Pastures were dried up, spring grains were heading out six inches above the ground, and hay was a very light crop. Financial conditions are also much better in Northern Minnesota, and especially in the vicinity of Bemidji, than else- yvhere, and the reputation of Minnesota among her neighbor- ing states is one of prosperity. . In comparison to the size of the city, Bemidji has out-| strlppqd all others in building operations this year.

L G HARD ON THE BLONDES Blondes and bobbed hair must go, says the sedate business men of New England. The employment department of a very large eastern insurance firm has issued a mandate to the effect that no more ‘“‘extemporaneous blondes” or bobbed hair will be permitted in the company’s offices and that all employees in either cqtagory must go. The head of the employment department referred to above further asserts that “business researches have proven that 90 per cent of the artificial blondes are useless. All women who| bob their hair aye useless, Some say they cut their hair to avoid the hea@. b_ut there is a hotter place waiting them.” This is pretty straight talk, girls.
