OFYPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY _—— 'WARE THE WIRELESS It used to be “When the flowers bloom in the spring, tra la la, but they are changing the word “flowers” now to read “radio stations.” i Everywhere throughout the length and breath of the land, wires are being strung to catch the mes- sages of the sound waves and as the shades of night begin to fall the air is filled with lectures, concerts, weather reports and discussions on every . subject from seed potatoes to the consistency of infant damnation, ; It’s a fad. 1t has come on all at once, like a spell of measles or the old-fashioned bicycle or roller skating craze. 0f course, it will adjust itself in time to come and will be a fixed commercial undertaking, but just now it is 311 the go” and soon if you haven’t a little baby wireless in your home you won’t be up-to-date. ; And this is something that the farmers can get in on good and plentyy After a day in the fields and a swift swipe at the chores and an early sup- per, Mr. Farmer can go in the sitting room, repose himself in the easy chair, crank up the old briar pipe and casually remark: “All right, Sarah, trot out Mary Garden.” And Mary comes skipping along through the ether. Or perhaps its a pipe organ concert in St. Paul, a symphony concert in Minneapolis, a band tearing away over in Grand Forks or Stillman Bingham singing “How Dry I Am” in Duluth. Having enjoyed the best there is in the way of talent, Mr. Farmer goes out, locks up the tractor shed, closes the garage, makes sure the airplane is ready for a hop to town in the morning and goes to bed and dreams about a fellow who has discov- ered a perpetual motion apparatus. $ SHEKELS FOLLOW IN THEIR WAKE Statsitics reveal that a golden harvest follows in the wake of automobile tourists. A careful anal- ysis of the records of auto camps in Northern Min- nesota shows that the average motorist leaves in the community in which he sojourns at least $6.00 per day. With half the world on wheels, the records point out that the possibilities of increasing the volume e e e e ———— of tourist travel and the flood of dollars to North- €mn Minnesota is limited only by the condition of the highways entering this section of the state. The future for this wonderful playground of limpid lakes and rippling brooks cannot be esti- wmated in dollars and cents. The increases year by year is by leaps and bounds and & matter which must be met earnestly and seriously in an effort t? loolg’ gfc?r %fl?-’!"fi'fis' ,«w_he:fhgy a‘n'r'_wc. . : - GTELL THE FACTS | 3 1 rice, price, lacks sales the present days of stiff selling each manufacturer must probe his product to the marrow to unearth selling points—must pass these selling points along to the retailer—must insist that the retailer call them to the attention of the consumer.” In the lines you handle, GET the facts, USE them in your advertising—SAY SOMETHING that WILL cause reader interest.

It is certain because the pla nas outlined is right and projects that are right are certain, sooner or later. i Canada offers the United States partnership in this great development and we should not hesitate in accepting it. By making the cities on the Great Lakes seaport harbors, means bringing the ocean within ten hours of our very door. We should begin now to produce and ship what is expected of the great northwest. — OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT Many strangers saw the recent fire in the Carl- son building the other day and one was heard to remark: “I did not know that Bemidji had a paid fire department.” When advised that it was a vol- unteer department, the stranger was amazed. “Why,” said he, “I have seen many fires, but have never seen a paid department do better work.” Bemidji has a right to be proud of its fire-fight- ers. They are comprised of business men and young men, the best in the city and are equal to any volunteer fire department in the country. §—--—%§ YOU TELL 'EM The Irish question could have been settled had they followed the resolution I once introduced in congress, wherein I proposed that the Philippine Islands be traded to England for Ireland.

The last scenes of a film drama were fickering to their inevitable denoue- ment. The fight between the hero and the villain was over, the chasing of automobiles had been so far exhaust- ed that there was hardly a character who hadn't chased or been chased by evers other character. Suddeny a woman in the audlience noticed two nice girls near her whose eyes were peacefully closed. Her heart went out to them In sympathy, for she assumed that they were blind and that they went to the movies just to hear the professor punch the plano, al- though that scemed too awful to be true. But when the picture ended and the lights flashed on, the two girls opened four perfectly good eyes, looked at ench other and smiled. “Did you really keep your eyes shut?” demanded one, “Honest to goodness I did—but did you?" coun- tered the other. “Cross my heart and hope to dic.” wverred . the first, “but It took a lot of self-control. However, I was deter- mified tor once to see a picture from the' ‘beginning Instend of from the middle.”—New York Sun. noteworthy that Jackson granted him a commission as brigadier general. He co-operated with the white authorities In the removal of the Choctaws from their original location In the Missls- sippi country to what was later Indlan territory. He died in 1824 while on a visit to Washington in connection with this removal. Fashions in Flowers. Flowers have not always meant beauty alone. In the days of the French revolution to wear or even pos- sess the proscribed fleur-de-lys meant death. Likewlse, after Waterloo and the fall from power of the Napoleonic regime, the violet, which had been chosen as the emblem of the Napol- eons, was forced to disappear from public view. Yet later, as times changed, history found the Empress Eugenie wearing the violet on her breast at a ball in the Tulleries to signify to the world that she had ac- cepted the hand of Napoleon IIL. Nor have the same flowers alwaye found favor In the eyes of the world. Some flowers have their fashions, too, as, for example, the camelia and the once despiged sunflower and marigold It was through Dumas that the waxen beauty of the camella came into gen- eral favor, and the pre-Raphaelites re- stored to high place the sunflower and ‘the marigold, the mythical goldflower -f of the Greeks.—Exchange. 'DESERVED HONORS PAID HIM Monument at Washington Recalls Notable Services Rendered by In- ; dian Chief to Young Republic. i In the old Congressional cemetery nt Washington stands a monument, the subject of which is known to very few of even the well-informed citizens of ‘this country., It commemorates Push- ‘mataba, a Choctaw Indian chief whose remains lic underneath. The monu- ment was erected by his brother chiefs ‘who were associated with him in a delegation to Washington in 1824, Pushmataha was chlefly celebrated for his unfaltering friendship for the young American republic, and through- out his life he was able to demonstrate; OF GOBRSE SHE HEARD HIM! Anywiy It 13'a Mean Man Who Would Set Such a Trap for His . Better Half. Hubby was reading aloud from the newspaper to his wife. Now and then he paused and asked a question, but her replies indicated that she was not listening very closely. When he re- proached her she indignantly retorted that she was listening most intently. He continued reading for a few min- utes and then seeing a far-away look in his wife's eyes he began to read as follows: “‘Last night, at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a few minutes before iceakfast, a_lungry boy, about sixty this - friendship -in varlous valuableif:tire: ways.

White lead is the very oldest light- colored paint of which anything is known. It was mentioned by the Greek general, Xenophon, who wrote some 400 years B. C. It was made by putting vinegar in a jar then some twigs to support the layers of lead above the vinegar. After the lead was placed on the twigs the jar was cov- ered to keep out the dirt and buried in stable manure. The manure fer- mented, produced a gentle heat and also carbonic acid gas. When the jar was opened after a congiderable . period the lead would be corroded under the Influence ot < the heat and gas. Thus a large pro- portion,of the lead would be changed into a;fine white powder which would be purified and used as & pigment for |. paint. “Charge of the Light Brigade.” The charge of the light cavalry at the battle of Balaklava in 1854 during the Crimean war, and celebrated in Tennyson's great poenl, “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” was one of the most noted military actions of modern times. It was the result of a serious blunder on the part of the British commander. A large force of Russians, more or less disorganized by the British heavy cavalry, was attacked by the “Light Brigade,” under Lord Cardigan. The Russians had reformed on their own ~ground, and of the 670 of the British force, only 198 returned to their own lines after the failure of the- charge. It was in this same action that the British infantry was first termed a “thin red line.” P atiiiil i) H. N. McKee will be . department and will ‘ for the past 10 years.
