Now: comes the birth snniversary of- George Washington. - T “bchool we learned to look upon him as the #ithér:iof his country and most -Americans - who chiéttaly American traditions and American ideals, ook’ %0 him as the composite exemplification of m»ntrlnfim of 1776, which made possible the United: States as an independent nation among the powsrs:of the earth. - Fortunately, George Washington was possessed of ‘& vision which caused him to use his great in- fluence ‘to start America on the road, which, dur- ing her history, has kept her free from the bother- Tr, oredited, sonieuand dangerous entanglements of old world jealousies. . - Washington’s warning in his farewell address is as pertinent today as when it was first written. 1t is said of the first president that he sought everybody’s advice, then made up his own mind, and, once set, he could not be budged from his con- clusion, even though the distracted politicians of the wig and silk stocking era had attempted to do 0 with a peck of TNT. Almost everyone on the American side, except ‘Washington, - thought it . foolhardy to attempt a erossing of .the Delaware river, with darkness and drifting ice as handicaps. ‘Washington' - thought otherwise and a brilliant military: thrust. was .won. The same: spirit of broad-determination actuated his statesmanship, * He had the power to see ahead into the ‘years that were to. unfold ‘and in'these years he saw the then clumsy, struggling, disjointed infant’ nation' grow into the most powerful And richest government ever devised by man. In our present. hurly, burly period with' 101 panaceas for the: economic ills of individual apd na- fon; tany of which lead us far astray from the torch o2 freedom lighted at Lexington, we can well lflud‘&o pause for a moment and read lnin the 1ite’ and work and wisdom. of George Wnb(ngton, it whs sound in his day, and it is sound to tho pres- ontpiginent. Tlu anniversary of his birth should mean more mere excuse for exercises in the schools, g of banks and giving of parties with | cherry trees as favors. There is a lesson piration in the life of George Washing- should be.taken seriously. There are all £ his type and yet it is the men of his have made America what she is. e is no need of a debate as to the greatness of ;Washington .as compared with Lincoln—both were ‘Jeaders of men when America most needed ludnn. and both did a mighty good job, and the memory .of each should be perpetuated so long as men have a regard for freedom, but we never can qnlte get away from the emphasized endearment for the name of Washington because of the fact that he fought through the long and burdensome tevolutionary war and, waving aside the suggested crown, took his seat as the first ruler of what is atest democracy.

Other towns having a touch of ordinary weather maintain the even tenor of their ways; not so with “Gotham,” her’s are not even tenor, they are at least soprano. Once,upon a time, a certain well known author speént ‘several months in New York. When finally he got teady te leave the pale-faced bandh in charge of the hotel, where the author had been staying, requested that he write his.impressions of New York. The author said “alright,” and, taking ® pen, wrote on the hotel register: Vulgar of manner; over fed; Over dressed -and under bred; Loud by day and lewd by night, Heartless, Godless, hell’s delight. Be-dwarfed the.man, enlarged the brute, Ruled by Jew and proshtute A squirming herd in money’s mesh, A wilderness of buman flesh; Crased by avarice, lust and rum, New York, thy name? Delirium! You might think that would hold them for awhile, but New York—or that part of it which wearies so many—has a hide about as'thick as the jce on Lake Bemidji, so it is hard to make an im- pression, but there are a few of us who refuse to shimmy our knees in fear. every time. that city be- gins to roar. So carry the news from the tall. pines of North- ern Minnesota to old Manhattan that her midnight shows (neither one of them) and her conniption. fit, when the thermometer gets below the freezing point interests lots. of folk not at all, and that our happiest wish is that some of her dressed-up bums will some day have to [ to work nml earn an hon- est living. —s A NATIONAL PAIK ! .Peter:Krogseng of Saum has amented a most _laudible - proposition and one which’ should meet . with" approyal throughout the whole ‘country. ‘He proposes. to set aside for a. National’ Recreation Park,. that tract of land between the. Upper 'and Lower Red Lakes for a national playground. To those who have never been there, the idea ,may not: -ppul but to those who have seen: the "“beautiful white pine timber towering'skyward by the' thousands, it will at once meet with hurty ap- proval. ! : The Red Lakes, being the largest:-body of water “‘whally within one state in the entire United States, is .already nmationally. known, ‘and should -this tract of land sdjcining the lake be set.aside for national park purposes, it would bring to Northern Minne- suu uw\undl, where now nnly hundred- come.

My kidneys weren’t in proper { condition and were a continual source of annoyance, due to their weakness and irregularity. Often durmg these spells, I got quite dizzy and black specks seemed . to float before my eyes. My back, too, gave me trouble; there was a stendy, dull ache through it. A heavy, bearing-down feeling settled in my kidneys and had me tired out-long before the day was over. . These symptoms made me nervous and irritable. On the ad- vice-of a friend I took Doan’s Kidney Pills, purchasing some at the City Drug Store. Doan’s helped me so much that I began a second box:| By using Doan’s according to directions, 1 was wonderfully relieved of this trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers.
