OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEED:NGS NORTHERN FAIR SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED The close of the Northern Minnesota Fair marks a new epuch in the history of Bemidji and Beltrami county. The t.ur, in itself, was a marvel to those who attende In point of vari- ety of displays and excellence of display, it fr out-ranked what even the most optxmlstlc expected. It was stated on the grounds by several who were in a poamon to know that the livestock ex- hibit was the best exhibited in any county fair this fall north of the Twin Cities. It marks a transition from an ordinary small county fair to a district fair as a large number of the exhibits came from outside of the county, and will continue to do so. To those who have given their efforts to the successful con- summation of the fair much credit is due. This is especially true of the president, H. M. Clark. Mr. Clark has devoted practically all his time for the last two months to securing the wonderful variety of livestock exhibits shown as well as to the supervision' of the construction of the new buildings and the general management of the exhibition. Things were done which seemed impossible in so short a time—and, without doubt, before another year comes around, many of the things which could not be done for lack ot time will be completed. \ The Northern Minnesota Fair has been successfully lTaunch- ed and each succeeding year will find it greater than ever. It must have the heartiest co-operation of every resident of the community both in interest shown and financially. Many have held back this year not knowing just what the extent of the ex- p:msmn was to be. Now that thLy have been satisfied that the fair is to be the blggeit thing in Northern Minnesota for the promotion of agricultural interests,; there will be many more exhibitors in the future. This opinion was freely expressed at the grounds this year by many who had not exhibited this year but have decided to next year, O PATRIOTISM IN SCHOOLS DEMANDED BY PUBLIC The introduction and pagsage in some states, California among the number, of laws designed to prevent the teaching of un-American doctrines in foreign-language schools, and the in- troduction of bills in state legislatures, as well as.in the federal congress, looking! to the making of the English language the controling medium in the public and private schools, have aroused a strong sentiment throughout the country in behalf of Americanization measures such as these. The consideration of such measures, particularly in relation to immigration, is be- ing asked by constituents of members of congress. Carrying out the spirit of the suggestion made by General Pershing that America should be ruled by Americans, the clos- ing days of the special session and the regular session of con- gress promises to witness such a demand for the adoption of laws looking to the promotion of the real American spirit and patriotic action in peace as well as in war as has not been known except during the World war, according to veteran observers of affairs at Washington. OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR We'll Get One of Them A lot of Baudette residents are \vnrrynuz over the possibility of Be- midji trying to grab the senator and the' representative at the next election. The Bemidji lads have all hanrd the story of the chap who tried to cover too much territory.

Invite the Scientists to Take the Lead in the Industrial Question By CRISTABEL PANk}iURST. British Woman Leader Man does not live by bread alone. Then why should he be obsessed and harassed, as at present, by the question of how to g:umenough bread and other material ‘necessities? This troubling problem cnn be sblved by the scien- tist... Yesiat-this very time, when @cience, is on the way_to its greatest discoveries and can offer more help to humanity than ever before, industrial unrest and economic -anxietics. are more intense than they have ever bcon._ If only politicians of severy complexion would agree-to a truce on the mdustnfal question and invite the scientists to take the lead and point the \vay\ So one hopes that, while worien voters will be able to discover the highest possibilities of politics, they will also, paradoxical as it may seem, recognize the limitations of politics, and not imagine, as some men appear to do, that everything can be scttled by a public meeting, a general elec- tion or a cabinet council. The menfolk are quarreling about the sharing out of -the wealth now available. Women, however, know that it would be easy enough to do a fair sharing out of what is there, for they have always managed that in their homes. The real dxflu'ultv as they know by experience, is to have enough to go round. The national difficulty is precisely the same, for up to the present day the total wealth available for the cummunl,_;y has never been sufficient, even if shared out on the most ideal system 1mugmnble, to give to each individual a life worth living from the material point of view. This means that poverty can never be done away with until more wealth is produced for consumption by the people. That ‘is where science comies in, for it is science alone, teaching new ways-of producing increased wealth, and producing it without excessive drudgery, tjmz can rescue the community from poverty and the present crippling bprden of material cares. ¥ . " Bt for the task the scientists have undertaken finer and purcr instru- ments are needed, these cost money, and this form of science is ill-endowed. The stupidity, the tragedy of it! Millions of money are lost through strikes and lockouts and industrial dog fights over the much too bare bone of present-day wealth. And all the time the scientists, who are the really effective industrial and social reformers, find their work starved and hin- dered for want of the necessary funds. One further and supreme task falls to women, whose inflvence, ncw that they are citizens, begins to count for more than it ever did in the past. It is this—to open their ears to spiritual truth, to recognize that material well-being, vastly important though it is, ouglft to be made a means to spiritual ends. Women’s place is on the watch tower, looking with far- scarching eyes for that new revelation for which the soul of the world \CAH'HS Y NOT MODELS OF CONSTANCY Has Found That House- RESEARCH WORK I TROPICS Observer New York Zoolc ical soqlety Has.

But there has been much specu- lation as to wliether pairs of birds, once married, do or do not perpetuate the wedded relation from year to year, How about the house-wren? It is a gentle and virtuous bird, almost semi- domesticated, as one might gay, inas- much as it customarily builds its nest in or about human habitations. Peopla who have watcehed the habits of house- wrens have often been heard to say that they were sure the same pairs re- turned to the same nesting places sea- son- after season. They were pro- claimed as models of marital con- stancy. However, Mr. 8. Prentiss Baldwin of Cleveland, who for many ) has madé the trapping and banding of birds his special hobby (afterward re- leasing them to be subsequently Te- trapped perhaps and identified), has found that house-wrens are no more re- liable in their conjugal relations than folks. In some instances these reli- tigns are perpetuated from season to season; but often it happens that a ! house-wren, male or female, indulges in a violent flirtation, even making a bluff at starting housekeeping, and then making final choice of another mate. Divorees occur. A gentleman house-wren may marry, rear a family and then leave his wife, going off with another lady house-wren and setting up of the Now York, Zoologital gagiety are the zoologleal park in the Bronx and the aquarium at the Battery.

This last season 17 workers took ad- vantage of the station.

Idea Put Forward That Yolks and Beeswax Were Used in Fillers of Old Violins, N. C. Holcomb, sical instrument maker. of Norwalk,” Ohio, believes he is making rapid advances in his efforts. to discover the secret of the fine |\ mellow tone of the.Cremona violins. Musicians for, years have wondered why many old Italian- violins ‘gppar- ently made in a_slipsliod ‘manner, should produce: such’ clear, sounds:. ~. ‘Holcomb believes that the lost secret had to do mainly with- tlte filler, and varnish. ' Not long -age. b ‘Wwas formed that a careful chiemicrl annlys{a i 8 had been made of some of the finish. on an old violin own d t'n Blmle ‘Croek, Mich. <ien This examination dl nlos(:fl the fact that, before the varnish was applied, the wood. was filled evidently with the yolk of an egg,and beeswax. Profiting by this information, Holcomb rubbed these substances into the, raw wood of a new violin before applying the var; nish., The results were surprising, the instrument producing a tone that Is usually associated with age. Holcomb, by using tops of old ta- bles and other furniture, obtains ma- ple wood one hundred years or more old. Through a microscope it can be seen that in maple properly aged the cells are devoid. of the sap and resin that makes nproperly seasoned wood unsatisfuctory Holcomb has found out that, if var- nish is applied to a violin before a proper filler has been used, the varnish | penetrates the cells of the wood and injures the ‘tone. NO LONGER “CLINGING VINE” Athletics and a Healthy Outdoor Life Have Increased the Weight of Modern Woman. They’re building ‘em bigger. Dress- makers say so, corseticres agree there’s something in it, and now along comes cold, caleulating science to ex- plain why women weigh more than “they ever did before. Women are no fatter, say the phy: «l- cal culture experts. They're simply and here’s the reason: The women of today are one and a half inches taller as a clags than 40 years ago.. Their chests are larger, their waistlines have widened. Their mus- cles; have hardened. All this makes them weigh more. The changes,” according to thnser who.have made a study of the subject, are simple enough to explain. Women, especlally during the last 20 .years gradually _have been convert- ed from the clinging vine to robust persons who are proud rather than ashamed of the physical feats they can accomplish, Participation in' sports has turned the trick. “Time was,” explained William Herr- mnnn a phvslcal training expert of [’hl]udelphm “when a woman thought vigorous use of the body and its mus- that has changed, of course, and the gradual participation of women in sports and various forms of exercise actually has brought about a change in her height and her figure, The change in height is not simply a case of athletics hav- ing taught a woman to stand straight- er. It Is an actual change that can be measured.” u|mnm|||mml'mmuuiu|||||ml||||uummmliunifinummu European Paper Money. In every Europeancountry. the war produced a flood . of = paper money.

The word pencil originally meant a small, fine brush, such as artists still use under the same name, but it now chiefly denotes the black-lead wood- cased pencil and its varieties. Lead pencil Is a misnowmer, because there Is no lead about it. The case is wood or paper, and the substance that makes the mark Is graphbite, also called plum- bsigo, from the latin word plumbum, lead. This is the enly connection the | substance had with lead, because it is a form of carbon, and it's one of the softest minerals known, Photographs ‘Borealis. A Norwegian sclentist, M.
