OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS | % DON'T HECKLE THE PRESIDENT | It is now a practical certainty that a meeting will be held | in Washington some time in November for the purpose of dis-| cussing national disarmament and certain far eastern affairs. | This meeting will be attended by official representatives of the | governments of the United States, England, France, Italy, Bel- gium,. China and others. There is a possibility that German delegates may be present. { The conference may result in great and everlasting good to the world, or it may end in a farce. That is yet to be deter- mined. ! In the meantime there are many newspapers in this coun- try that will be editorially discussing the various phases of these subjects with a view to swaying public opinion to their way of thinking, and especially the throwing of light upon the more or less obscure points. . There are others that will have for their secret aim the embarrassment of the president just at a time when he should | receive the support of the American people in this laudable undertaking of his. : The peace of the world in general and of this country in particular is of far more importance than the evening up of political scores and private grudges. . | A free and frank discussion of these subjects is Iegitimate‘ and is to be desired. It is in accord with the traditional policy of the American people. But the deliberate heckling of the president just at that time will be unfortunate if not disastrous. 1t is difficult for any president to make good on an inter- national project of this magnitude when he is being pulled back, by his own people, Don’t heckle the president. —o0 THE INDIAN OFFICES 1t looks as if Bemidji will have to find some more suitable building for the proposed Indian consolidated offices than those| shown Commissioner Burke when here. In every other respect| Bemidji is all right. Well, it is nice to know that so few build-| ings are-available, which_shows that Bemidji business is good,| otherwise there would be vacant properties which might be con- verted into a suitable building.: Inasmuch as only a one story building with a good basement is needed, and that it is not nec- essary to have it located in the center of the city, it would not require a very large investment to build just such a building as would suit the requirements of the Indian offices. It is expected such a building will be built if the Indian department will ap4| prove of the location and the rental asked. It is well worth while to give this serious consideration in view of the fact that| in the next'ten years over $6,000,000 will be distributed to the| Indians through the consolidated offices, and experience shows that in the majority of cases the Indians come to the office to get their checks rather than have their checks sent to them. 0 ; SMALL GETTING SMALLER Governor Small continues each day to grow smaller and smaller even though he is trying to make himself bigger and bigger. He is sefting a mighty poor example for a man sup- posed to be a law administrator. He can best serve his com- monwealth by getting the mess cleaned up he is accused of help- ing make.

The TItalian Touring club has re- cently promoted an experimental instl- | tute of roads for the study of materi- als employed in the construction and | maintenancé of highways. i The objects of the institute will be | to carry on laboratory experiments on i the physical and mec ical character- | isties of road materials; to help the | progress of experimental technics rela- | tive to highway surfacing by reproduc- ing and studying samples of pavements worn by traflic or deteriorated other- | ; to form a collection of material | an road con- | struction ; to collect all descriptive and | stjtistical matter appertaining to Ital- lian roads; to furnish public bodies | with useful advice relating to con: | struction and maintenance of roads, and to forward by every other meuns the development and betterment of | road work in Italy. The institute publishes monthly re- ports of its proceedings. The institute is financed by annual contributions from the Touring Club of Italy, by en annual subsidy from the mi ry of | public works and by annuities, gifts and charges for material tests. The institute is under the direction of Sig. Italo Vambone, formerly | chief engineer of the province of Mi- | lan. More detailed information re- garding the formation of this institute is given in a recent bulletin of the Permuanent International —Association of Road Congres: TRACTOR TO IMPROVE ROADS Contraption Invented by Colorado Man Is Intended for Smooth- ing and Compacting. !

Approximately $146,000 is to be spent by the city of Wellington, New Zealand, in building a concrete road, feet wide, to the suburb of Petone, which is six miles distant. The new paving will” occupy the center of a thoroughfare 100 feet wide | which is now macadamized. Only | vehicles, such as carts, motorears and | small motortrucks will be allowed on | the concrete way. A special vehicle | tax in addition to the present one, will be levied by Wellington, the pro- | ceeds of which ,will be devoted solely | to the upkeep of this road. This tax| applies to all motor-driven cars, and | among them are also included motor- cycles. IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO COME Establishment of Motortruck Trains Bound to Cause Reconstruction | of _Surfaces. ! With the establishment of motor- truck trains operating on a fixed schedule throughout the country im- provements are bound to come. Nut‘ only will surfaces of the highways be | rebuilt, but in many instances routes will be shortened to save time and | money. These improvements should be re- | garded as vital to the success of every | community and as n necessary factor | in the prosperous era before us.

BUILDER HAS NOT | SEEN * digestion Regains Health By Taking Tanlac “Tanlac has not only gotten rid of the indigestion and rheumatism from which I had suffered for four years, but has made me feel like a young man; again,” said Frank Kernan, a |prominent St. Paul builder and con- tractor, living at 332 Shirburn Ave., St. Paul, Minn. “I believe I suffered about as much as anybody ever did on account of indigestionvand rheumatism. After every meal the pains in the pit of my stomach fairly doubled me wup. I would bloat up with gas until I could hardly breathe, and I had pains in my shou'ders, arms and legs nearly all the time., In damp weather my joints became so stiff that I could not bend - them without suffering agony. I had no appetite, and be- came so run-down that I thought I should have to give up. e “I saw so many statements in the papers from people who had been benefited by Tanlac that I decided to try it, and have never known any medicine to give such remarkable re- sults in so short a time. The first few dc:eg gave me an avpetite, and IT soon found that I could eat any- thing I wanted without being troubled with the least s‘en of indizestion. Af- ter taking several bottles more haven’t an ache or 2 pain cf any kind, and all trace of the rheumatism has disappeared. I ean henestly say that I never feit better in my life than I do todey.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, and leading drug- gists everywhere.——Advertisement. THE PIONEER WANT AD:!
