Thesc ~ other crops require less labor to work than cotton does. Today there is a very considersble unemployment of farm labor in the south. This means that there will be ample labor for cotton mills and other form of manu- facturing, and for the development of natural resources. “Fifth and finally, the South is realizing its need of effort and strug- gle in order to hold its economic position. The boll-weevil is forcing upon it a new economic condition which it is bravely struggling to meet. 1 believe it has the will to meet these new conditions, but it needs capital. The South has large unde- veloped resources. It has coal, min- eral deposits, and water powers. Its seaport cities have good harbors which are stategically located for commerce with Latin America and Southern Europe. Thus, as the South more fully realizes and grasps the oppor- tunities which it holds, it will grow and develop rapidly into commercial importance. This means that during the next few years the South will offer many very attractive oppor- tunities for the investor. Just at present the South is hard hit by the boll-aveevil; bul this very ;faby is bringing it to a realization' of its needs and opportunities. ;, Thus, with- in 2 few years, a new economic con- dition should:be: established and the South ghould} 'hs_ more prosperous than at any time in the past.”’ The Babsoncnait indéx dropped off one point this week, standing now at 4 per cent below normal.

What the Diviéion‘ of Beltrami County Will Do It will reduce taxes both in the old county and in'the i new county. Figures taken from records show that it will reduce the cost of running the old county by at least $25,000. It will give a Babcock highway through Kelliher, Blackduck and Washkish. This road will be maintain- ed and built from the proceeds of auto licenses. It will make the commissioner districts smaller, thus giving each commissioner a better chance to look after the needs of his district. It will give what is now Beltrami county $40,000 state aid for roads instead of $20,000 as at present, It will reduce the ditch debt of the old county by forty per cent because the new county must assume the ditch debt of all ditches within its borders. It will reduce the cost of running the various county offices by cutting off clerk hire. : It will reduce the taxes, because thé records of the | state auditor show that big coun'ties,have big * taxes, | while smaller counties have smaller taxes. . .. ... e 7 It will give the taxpayers a better chance.to keép ta_b on the tax spenders on account of the reduction in the size of the county. i It will eliminate the necessity of paying $40 traveling ¢ expenses for each witness or juror going from the + north end to court at Bemidji. This will mean a saving of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers. It will not increase the taxes. It will merely increase the benefits you get from taxes.

ARMIES OF WOMEN WARRIORS E Amazons, According to'Ancient Writ- ers, Were Fierce Fighters—Some Records of Their Deeds. According to anclent writers, the Amazons were a nation of female war- riors, who allowed no men to live amor.g them, but marched to battle under command of their queen. They held occnsional Intercourse with the men of neighboring states. If boys were born to them, they either sent them to thelr fathers or killed them. But the girls were brought up for war, and their breasts were burned off that they might not be prevented from bending the bow. From this cus- tom they recelved the name of Ama- zons, which 1s “breastiess.” The Asiatlc Amazons are said to have at one time sudbdued the whole of Asia, and to have_ bullt Smyrna, the elty recently captured and burned by the Turks, and cother citles. ~Other “hatlons of Amazons men- tioned by the ancients were the Scyth- fan Amazons, who in aftertimes mar- ried among the nelghboring Scythians, and the African Amazons, who sub dued the Gorgons and Atlantes, ADDITIONAL WANT ADS WANTED—Dining room Kellilier Cafe’ girl at 4 11 1 Shrewd Women Shoppers of Bemidji— Realize now the pleasure of being well-dressed in the very =173t ~ormoats of ! marched through Egypt and Arabla, and founded their capital on the Lake Tritonis, but were annihilated by Hercules. . ,.Oil-Well Adventure. An oil-well that is being dug to any considerable depth usually has a tweuty-inch ‘casfng' in the upper part and :a’ small; 'slender man could get down in one qf that size. In fact, such a feat was recently performed near Los Angeles by Walter McCay of Taft, Cal, who is known ‘as the “human gopher.” A . master rotary bushing had been lost in the well and the only way in which it could be got out with- out destroying the well was to send a man down after it. The tool was lodged .at the 110 foot level. MeCay was lowered into the well with a one- Inch rope and wore a gas mask at- tached to an oxygen tank from which air was pumped to him constantly. It ‘was necessary for him to make six descents before he succeeded in grap- pling the lost tool and he spént almost an hour in one of the smallest holes in the ground in which a man ever found himself. — the season, the added pleasure of . . buying these garments at oriccs much lower tkan gcu ever dreamed you'd have to pay.
