OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS AN INDUSTRIAL CAPITOL Roger Babson, the great statistician, has now . conceived the idea of building an industrial capi- tal. He has selected Wellesley, Mass., as the place and has bought 220 acres of land as a starter. The idea is to have industrial powers of the na- tion gather here to work for its betterment. Mr. Babson declares that 10,000,000 persons in America are suffering from unemployment, 10,- 000,000 “extras,” he calls them, who are out of luck except in days of unusual prosperity. This 10,000,000 is composed of working men and women and their families, he says. “They have no special fitness for employment. They are the surplus, the over-supply of our industrial civilization.” According to Mr. Babson’s view, these 10,000,- 000 are the pawns of some 20,000 employers. He holds that if these 20,000 men were organized into one central organization, the problem of dealing with the 10,000,000 would be simplified tremen- dously. It is just that Mr. Babson proposes to do. “If more of the men who collectively hold the fate of America in their hands could go to lunch together, I am sure business arrangements would be more direct, more affable, and that the people of the country would benefit enormously,” said Mr. Babson. Land for a building is to be presented to each of these great national associations. Many smaller buildings, subsidiary to the principal four, will be built about the campus. Some associations have already signified their intention of taking these grants. ‘The other campus will centralize the country’s power of distribution. Each state will be re- «uested to keep a building where representatives and statistical files of state conditions. will ever be on hand. Mr. and Mrs. Babson are to present Mas- sachusetts with the first building. A connecting group of buildings devoted to economics, finance, psychology and factory management will act as a link between the two campuses. be many incidental accommodations, an art build- ing for exhibiting industrial pictures, a chapel, a gymnasium, a restaurant, dormitory, golf links, boys’ camp and similar ayrangement for the accom- modation of conference delegates and their fam- ilies. The grounds will be made an ideal place for national conventions. The Babson plan is already in the blue-print stage, and has an endowment fund of $250,000 as a starter, which Mr. Babson hopes to .increase to $1,000,000 shortly.

Soil which can grow the finest potatoes ever dug out'of the earth and that can send up the nutritious fodder for contented cows and can fur- nish waying fields of grain, might remain hidden treasures, were not its richness exploited. Bemidji, as a jobbing center, has become such 'bea:g'se"Bemidji has faith in herself and in the “territory she serves. ¢ £, Mare than all that, is the real Bemidji spirit, the 'spirit that has a habit of plunging through the line to success so frequently that failure is not in her fexicon. . - The thing which makes tiat spirit possible is the ‘co-operation of her business men and her farm- ers; she has made the community spirit pay hand- some dividends; she has commercialized co-opera- tion as few other cities under like conditions have been able to do. i of the spit-ball geritry. { = “Pitching is bound to improve be- Sure, we have our arguments, and, being human, we have our frailities and we do not always come to one mind on every subject (there’s J. J. for in- stance, who wants to go to the house), but the fact remains-that season in and season out, the spirit of co-operation is havering over us and when the big tests ‘come, our citizens are not found wanting. Go to any part of the state, to the cities, to many parts of the northwest and you will hear the same, sweet song, ‘‘Bemidji is a live one.” Long ago, the Twin Cities concluded that no peppier, prettier, progressive town than Bemidji was to be found in the state. That is the reputation that Bemidji has builded; that is the one she deserves and that is the one she must maintain, and will maintain. “While - other towns are growing cobwebs, Be- midji is busy as a bee; while other places are moan- ing that-there is nothing doing, Bemidji is doing business at the same old stand. \ §—% AN INTERNATIONAL BARGAIN In ffeét, the United States and Canada make an inve‘lfiment in waterpower which is sure to pay enormous dividends and get an ocean channel as a bonus. .

The wan with the superior air was a poetic business man. He generally patronized a small lunchroom near his office. When he was not selling eggs at wholesale or something, he liked to read verse. His favorite was Tenny- aon’s “Idylls of the King.” And be- cause he felt that lie knew so much about it he thought he would have a little fun_with the lunchroom wait- resses, in a superior sort of way. It began by naming the girls after the herolnes in the poem. His regular waltress was a tall, gaunt person, but somewhat queenly as she bore down ou him with a plate of hash. Her real name was Sadie. “Sadie,” he announced one night, “hereafter I'm going to call you Guinevere. ..

Farrell (United Press Staft Correspondent) New York, Jan. 30.—Return to the season. . Skill of the big time hurling stars decreased noticeably- due: to_legisla- tion against:thgsnse . of: foreign sub- brought..about such a. vogue of| ard ittt season. - L When-the-rule-makers of:the-game: ore than took:a i batters, who cess.. the: game that the ball was lively last| | season, but not through any pre-| {arranged plan. ‘It is sald that the | ball was constructed along the stand- ard specifications but that the better ! quality of wool and rubber available | since the war added to the life of the ! sphere. Use of curve balls is:looked upon {as the curb for unusually hard hit- | ting. Success of the Giant pitchers | against the Yanks in the world’s se- i ries was attributed by Johnny Evers, {one of the smartest men connected ! with the game, to the skillful use of curve balls. John Heydler, president of the Na- tional league, has.the. same theory about the success of his league in the fall classic. * Heydler maintains that conclusive proof was given -that control of a good curve ball with a change of pace makes a pitcher just as effec- tive against heavy hitters as-the for- {mer addicts of the shine-ball, the { emery-ball and those few remaining | cause minor league managers are en- { couraging ~ young - pitchers to use| ! curve balls,”- Heydler said. “When | the spit-ball was in vogue-and when | the freak deliveries were permitted, youngsters tried to acquire those ‘arts’.in_preference to the old ortho- | dox methods of hurling. Now they { are coming back to curves. | { . The pitching.in the major leagues | was bad last year, but one thing that jmpressed me was :the number of ! promising curve -ball pitchers that | came up. With such material being developed, T feel sure that in time the game will have pitching of the | old standar¢ when six or seven hits | was considered a rather loose game.” WARD OFF DANGEROUS “COLD” Much Sickness May Prevented by Adoption of a FewPreventive ‘Measures. . A few precautions will decrease the ; liabllity - of catching pepld-«from ex-|. | posure to the rains of wigter—as well } as its snows. = Some:of the simplest | preventatives are those that nature herself furnishes.- None needs to catch i a cold when wet if he or she.will walk ! or -run home briskly, ;jWet- elothing draws the heat.from! the -body and lowers the temperature below normal, This Is dangerous. But ifthe heat of the body is maintained by exercise, ! lttle or no harm result§*from the wet |-clothing. ‘It ebtainable, two or three | Tamps of sugar should be eaten. This helps the heart’s action and supplies considerable heat to the body. Many deride the popular belief that it is impossible to catch-cold from a wetting with sea water, but the state- ment holds much truth. The salt re- tards evaporation, and thus chilling of the body is delayed.- Obviously, that is an advantage. Further, the salt acts as a stimulant, and assists the circulation of the blood. That is an- other advantage. Thus, unless in ub- usual circumstances, there is much less chance of 2 cold resulting from an immersion in the sea than iu fresh water. Those who feel much depressed in wet weather should form the habit of increasing thejr rate of breathing. The depression is due to the increase of vapor' in “the air, and the consequent proportionate decrease of oxygen. Quicker - breathing, - as -is - obvious, pumps more oxygen into the ngslem. and the depression departs. which results in power and success. 4 | WEBSTERS |° i NEW INTERNATIONAL .
