Anderheg- gen, in the “National Belge.” The Congo river, in Africa, said the originator of the plan, cischarges at| least 80,000 cubic meters of water! per second, from: its reservoir at Stanley Pool, over the Livingstone| d"alls to the sea outlet at Boma and Matadi. Two -hundred million horsepower is thus wasted, said Mr. Anderleg- gen, who suggested that this vast mass of water-force should be carried through pipes under high pressure into electric generators in the Lower Congo. Thence in the form of high tension electric curreat, this vast powey woulq ibe scnt to Europe, along the Atlantic coast, through Senegal and Morocco, and beneath the straits of Gibraltar. Carried over a distance of some six thourand kilometers, the power orig- inally available at the source would suffer al loss of fifty per cent; but cnough would still remain for the hauage, lighting and fuctory power requirements of Europe, he asserted. This scheme, says its daring origin- ator, is no more utopan that the Panama Canal scheme. First, there is plenty of native labor available in the Congo. Second, the cemerjt, iron; copper and other requirements are no more difficult to obtain for this pur- pose than for thatof railway building Proportionately, the job would cost no more than the railway that is geing to link up Leopoldville and Katanga. Less time would be re- quired for this job than was needed for cutting the Panama Canal. CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING IS SPREADING RAPIDLY Crookston, August 26.—For 25 years the Minnesota farmers have Yeen layiag the foundations of a mar- keting system that would put agri- culture op a business basis and as a result co-operative marketing is an established fact, 'declared Neil HL Swanson, publicity agent of the Min- nesota Farm Bureau Federation in an address here before a large crowd of farmers attending a farm mar- Leting meeting. “In less than 25 years,” Mr. Swan- son said, “co-operative - marketing spread until there were more than 3,000 local shipping associations, local elevators and local creameries in the state. It is still spreading. In 1919 these local co-operative organ- ization handled, on their local mar- kets, farm products valued at more than $340,000,000 nearly 50 per cent of the entire $700,000,000 output of the state that year. Every year they handle more.” The next phase in the co-operative distribution of farm products, Mr. Swanson continued, is the amalgam- ation of the local organizations into state and interstate associations cap- able of carrying farm products to the great terminal markets. Mr. Swanson explained the policies of the American Farm Bureau and declared the state farm bureau fed-| eration has alreday been the meditim through which four great marketing | projects have been lauched in Min- nesota. The four commodities in- volved, he said, were wool, livestock, dairy proucts and grain. In show- ing the advantages of co-operative| | marketing the speaker said last year’s wool pool conducted by the state fed- eration was sold at 10 cents a pound more than the market price. The next project to be launched in the state, he said, would be an organ- ization designed to unite the co-oper- ative creameries. One hundred have| already joined the state organization. The marketing of grain is expected to be handled by the United States Grain Growers. ST. PAUL MAN TO REPRESENT AMERICA IN ZR-2 INQUIRY (By United Press) London, August 26.—Commander N. T.

How thoroughlyé this principle has been applied to lit-| erature comes out in an interview with | a charming and able Chicago novelist | who Is taking her five-year-old daugh- | ter into Africa gorilla hunting \vlth! The author in question will make the trip to collect local color, the basic material in the fiction Industry. The first product will be a novel, with a movie to follow. But not gll the local | color which an African trip is bound tog yleld can be used in a novel, so the author plans to work over the waste in a travel book, which will find a ready | sale to that small but choice public | which has wearied of fiction. The third | and rather special product will be the | story of her small daughter’s reaction | to the adventure, which Is expected to | make another interesting book. Each of the three books is a sep- | arate product of the basic local color; | each will satisfy a certain special need and reach a public of its own. Between the fictlon readers, the arm- chair travelers and the students of the child-mind, this author pretty well covers the book-buying classes. Con- sldering how: little daughter will prob- ably react when she sights her first gorilla, the “child renctions” book may | fairly be called “utilizing the squeal,” —Chlcago News, KNOWS RIGHT TIME TO FISH Man’s Many Friends Have Furnished Him Just the Particular Dope, and the Rest Is Easy. “I have the accurate dope now on Just when to go fishing at the lakes,” sald a man who expects to take a vaeation soon. “I talked to a man last week and he sald if T wished to do any good, te fish from 12 midnight to six in the morning. He used frogs and spatted for bnss and caught lots of bass and also bluegills at that time. Besides It isn’t hot then. “Talked to a man Monday and he told me just when to catch them. I learned from him that the time to fish was between sundown and 12 mid- | night. He caught lots of bass and bluegills and crappies at that time, “Talked to another man and he told | me the best time to flsh was from sunup until about 10 o'clock, and from 4 p. m. until dark. “There was another neighbor of mine who gave me good advice. He never fishes after dark, but says he | never paid any attention to the heat and that he always caught as many fish in the middle of the day as he did early In the morning or in the cool of the evening. “So you see, I know just when to do my fishiirg.” Hints to Young Authors.

Seventy years ago Batés predieted the rapid extinction of the turtles on the Amazon, but William Ray Allen, who returned recently from an expe- dition to the upper reaches of that river, reports to Science that ip spite of an encrmous consumption of tur- tles and eggs that has continued from that day to this, they are still very abundant. Petroleum has replaced: turtle oil since that time, but turtle eggs, meat! and viscera continue to ba favorite articles of food. . What He Gets. When Jones' rich grandmother passed away all his poverty-stricken friends rallied about him with words of cheer and coffifort; but Jones re- mained sad and dejected. “She left a last will and testament, I suppose?” murmured Jenkins carelessly.; “Oh, yes,” sald Jones, “she left a will and testament.”” They hung expectant while sobs choked back his words. “L” he declared at last, “am t¢. have the testament.” HILDE AND DANIELSON SHEET METAL SHOP WE DO SHEET METAL WORK REPAIRING OF ALL KINDS_ « Call'and See Us FOURTH STREET BACK O}' BEMIDJI HARDWARE GENERAL REPAIR SHOP 311 Sixth St.—Bemidji Clifford’s Mason Jar Covers, per doz Jar Rubbers, 3 doz for ...
