aes ator an ART AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE EXHIBITION The Best Yct Attempted by the Local Schools to be Seen Thursday Evening. Three of the most interesting ex- hibits of the work done by pupils during the past school year will be seen at the High school auditorium on Thursday evening. These are the displays of the domestic science class, in charge of Miss the normal work by the pupils of Miss Bryan, and the products of the manual training class in charge of R. C. Hoisington. In Miss Bryan’s department is also included the industrial art work of the rural schools. It.is the custom for these de- partments every year to make a display of the work done during the season, and this years’ pro- ducts are said to be on a-far more elaborate scale than any heretofore attempted. Coleraine Boosters Here. A procession of automobiles, dis- playing booster banners, paraded through our streets yesterday morn ing, and made quite an impression. The machines carried a delegation of Coleraine citiezns who were here to wait upon the board of county commissioners with a petition for the ablishment of a highway leading out of Coleraine, running through the town of Arbo and con- necting with the Prairie river road. The length of the proposed road would be about eight miles, and although settlement along its route is rather sparse at present, the Coleraine people believe that the future of the section should war- rant the commissioners in making an appropriation for the improve- ment. Those having the visitors in charge were chauffeurs George Smith, Gus Baum, George A. Wil- son, Webb Latham and A. A. Mitch- ell. Farewell to Teachers. The school at Warba closed for the summer on Friday last with a picnic attended by parents and children. The affair was a most enjoyable one for both the young- sters and those older, and fitting- ly closed a very successful school year. On Saturday evening a re- ception was given the teachers, Misses Margaret O’Donnelt and Luc Stevens, at which they were the re- cipients of many tokens of the esteem in which they are held by the people. Stevens have been selected for the same positions next term. Cure For Slander Take of “good nature” one ounce, of the herb called by the name, “mind your own business,’ one, ounce. Mix this with a little “char- ity for others” and two or three sprigs of “keep your tongue be- tween your teeth.” Simmer them together in a v called “cir- cumspection” for a short time and it will be fit to use. Symptoms: The symptoms are violent itching in the roof of the mouth and tongue which invariably takes place when you are in com- pany with a species of animals called “gossips.” How to Apply the Remedy: When you feel a fit of the disorder com- ing on, take a teaspoonful of the mixture, hold it in your mouth, which you will keep closely shut till you get home, and you will find . a complete cure. Should you ap- prehend a relapse, keep a small bottleful about you and at the slightest symptom repeat the dose. Oh, You Boosters.

Papers were served on the 13th inst. on Judge M. A. Spooner of Bemidji, attorney for the com- plainant, citing the complaints in an action against Johnson and others, tried before Judge Willard some two years ago land games were the order of the evening until midnight when a marshmellow roast was enjoyéd by all around a camp fire. O. O. Vandervort and son, James, hauled hay from Popple on Wednes- day, using a four horse team. Pp, P. Johnson, one of our thrifty farmers, returned Thursday from Cass Lake where he had been to prove up on his homestead. Mr. Johnson has worked hard and steadily for the past seven years to improve his holding and as a result has one of the best places “Pussyfoot” | in the section. Dan Long of Shallow Pond was a caller in this neighborhood on and generally known as the Indian | Tuesday. lid case, to appear before the supreme court of the United States at Washington within sixty days in an appeal sought to be taken from Judge Willard’s deci- s1on. “Pussyfoot Johnson was the man most feared by the saloon- keepers in this section of the state, nearly 1,000 saloons being affected by the Indian territory orders. His men raided saloons, homes and outbuildings and searched trunks, suitcases and grips by the hundred, often finding noth- ing but private belongings. It was then twelve Bemidji saloonkeepers took a stand and secured an in- junction preventing the government! again from interfering with their business. Final judgment was entered in the United States court at Minnea- polis, on April 20, 19141, granting to the complainant an injunction against the government from any more interference with the conduct of their business. Under the laws of the United States an appeal may be taken or a writ of error sued out at any time within six months to review such a judgment in the circuit court of appeals, or if the circumstances are such as to allow an appeal di- rectly to the supreme court of the United States at Washington, such an appeal may be taken at any time within two years from the entry of final judgment. In this instance it seems to be the contention of the United States attorney general’s office that the} questions involved are such that an appeal may be taken directly to the United States supreme court, and if such contention is correct | then Judge Willard’s decision is subject to review in that court, as two years have not yet elapsed. It is understood that Judg oon- er, attorney for the complainants, contends that this is not wherein the right of appeal direct- ly to the supreme court of the United States lies, and that the appeal, if any, should have been taken to the United States circuit court of appeals within the time limit of six months, which has long since elapsed. Before any determination of the matter on the merits of the case is made there must first be passed upon the question of jurisdiction of the court to hear the appeal, which question will be raised un- der the contention that there is involved no such question as will entitle the government to take an appeal directly to the supreme court of the United States. neerteeceetnteceetnteteteetetecoepntedeneg eae i FUNKLEY RANGE ( BERGVILLE POSTOFFICE} Le a Se a ee ne ee ee Mrs. A.

Mrs. Frank Knaeble of Bergville accompanied by her two daughters and son, attended the Methodist services conducted at Spruce Grove school house on Thursday evening. Little Floyd and Glen Clark have been on the sick list this week. Misses Sadie Dyer and Agnes Cas- sidy spent the week end with Miss Carolyn Bardslay at Dunbar Lake. Andrew Urness of Bergville, was a pleasant caller in this neighbor- hood on Sunday. Chester and Cecil Vandervort and Bert Stonefield, who are employed at the Island Lake saw mill, spent Sunday here at the Vandervort home. Mrs. Levi Price spent Sunday with Mrs. Clyde Johnson and Mrs. J. M. Price. Some really excellent work was on exhibition at the Spruce Grove school house on Thursday after- noon. Several prize maps were made by the youngsters and these were most carefully drawn. The children are all entitled to con- siderable praise for what they have accomplished and much credit is due their teacher, Miss Cassidy. Miss Irene Price was pleasantly surprised by a number of _ her friends on Saturday evening, the occasion being her birthday. Music a case | The village of Northome has been doing some good work on the roads lately. The man in charge of the improvement has evidently “been there before.” The town authori- ties or Ardenhurst have also start- ed a road improvement eampaign which will show good results, and if we can get to the township line the rood to Northome will be easy. The trouble will be in getting that far, as we do no work on roads in Alvwood. Pasture for Rent. I have room for about 40 head of horses and cattle in well-watered |pasture on Buck farm.

GAIN FALSE INFORMATION Prisoner Given His Freedom After Being Carefully Primed With Mis- leading Facts Regarding the Strength of the Arab Forces. Chlasso, Switzerland, May 27.—The strict censorship which the Italian government has imposed on all news relating to the state of affairs in Tripoli, and particularly with regard to the defeat of the Italian forces at Sidi Garba on May 16, has made it difficult to obtain exact information on the recent reverses in the terri- ; tory. It has been learned, however, that the disaster at Sidi Garbo was due to a@ well laid plan of the Arabs. An Italian workman named Michae- velle, who had been taken prisoner by the Arabs, was allowed to escape after being carefully primed with false information, which he carried to General Ganbretti. Instead of waiting to carry out a scheme of co-operation with General Tassoni, who was on his way from Benghazi with a strong force, General Ganbretti, on the strength of Michae- velle’s report that the number of the enemy was small, decided to attack alone. Italians Are Surprised. Accordingly he divided his 3,000 men into three columns, which were sup- ported by four guns and a battery of howitzers. After the first flush of victory the Italian soldiers were resting, when suddenly each column was set upon from front and rear and cut off from the others. At the same time they | Were subjected to a heavy shell fire. The Italians showed admirable cour- age and endurance. Some of the com- panies lost all of their officers. One advance detachment lost thirty-six out of forty men, and it was soon appar- ent that retreat alone would save the ; forces from annihilation. Colonel Magadenla was shot, and, as he lay dying wrote a report prais- ing his men and recommending for promotion his major, who, although twice wounded, took command. General Ganbretti, on his return to Derna, said: “It was the bloodiest day of the whole Italo-Turkish war.” The Italian losses are estimated at 1,000. SLAYS WOMAN AND HIMSELF Jealousy Given as Motive for Double Tragedy. Leonard Erickson, twenty-four years old, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers, thirty-eight, at East Grand Forks and then turned the re- volver on himself.. He died within a few minutes. Jealousy is the cause given by officials for the murder and suicide, which occurred in the kitchen of the home of Mrs. Rogers, who is divorced and whose husband is supposed to be at International Falls, Minn. She was a halfbreed. x Duluth to Close Resorts. Duluth’s new city commission, fol- jowing its recent action in eliminat- ing music and the sale of intoxicating liquor in the “red light” district, has given notice that the new state law, by which it is aimed to abolish the social evil, will be rigidly enforced when it goes into effect on May 31. An Eighth of the World’s Land Surface Still Unexplored. AREAS WRAPPED IN MYSTERY. “The Dwelling of the Void” In Arabia Is Supposed to Be the Most Desolate Waste on the Globe—New Guinea Has Baffled Countless Expeditions. It would seem as though this little world of ours should be pretty thor- oughly known by this time, yet there are many unexplored territories which have yet to receive the impress of a human foot and which doubtless, like the north and south polar regions, will take their toll of heroic victims from the hardy explorers who first enter their closed portals. On a rough estimate about 7,000,000 square miles, or one-eighth of the to- tal land surface of the world, are wait- ing to be discovered. Some 200,000 square miles of this lie in the arctic regions of the north, but among the frozen tracts that form “antarctic” in the south, where Scott and his gallant followers were penetrating, nearly 3,000,000 square miles are relegated to the sole use of whales, seals, pen- guins, petrels and other animal and bird inhabitants of frozen homes. It is true that human habitations could never be formed in such climes as these, but the scientific world is ever eager for the discoveries of ex- plorers, and even among uninhabited districts their work is never wasted. In Arabia there exists a tract of un- explored country nearly five times as large as Great Britain. It stretches from Mecca almost to the southeast coast and is called Dahkna, or “the Dwelling of the Void.” Probably no more desolate waste is to be found in the globe, for not a single river is es- timated to flow throughout its entire 400.000 square miles. Imagine Ger- many and France combined without river or stream and you will gain some idea of the parched condition of Dahk- na. The Sahara is a blissful retreat by comparison. | Some authorities state that the whole desert is not worth the price of a good malacca cane. Others give cre- dence to the legend that treasures and hidden cities lie in the heart of the sands. Of quite a different character are the enormous mountain fastnesses of South America, which lie along the upper Amazon and in the districts of Colombia and Peru. The celebrated treasure of Cuzco lies secreted among the Peruvian heights. Impenetrable forests, mountain jungles and innu- merable fever spreading rivers hold the most intrepid adventurers at bay, to say nothing of carnivorous ants, malignant snakes, water moccasins and those most deadly of serpents, an- acondas. During recent years over a dozen expeditions have been either wholly or partially wiped out in their efforts to wrestle with these regions. Although the famous El Dorado, which set the sixteenth century ablaze, has never been unearthed, the country generally miglit fittingly be called El Dorado, from the rich minerals and priceless stones emanating therefrom. Strange, wild eyed men descend oc- casionally from the mountains. bring- ing wonderful fragments with them. But they refuse to act as guides to those who would accompany them back. It is curious to realize that vast por- tions of the British empire have never been seen by British eyes or the eyes of any white men. Nearly a quarter ‘of Australia is still unexplored, mainly in the west, where the population av- erages only one person in about every twenty square miles. New Guinea has baffled countless expeditions, though many are still try- ing to fight their way inland from the coast. Despite the fact that the inte- rior of this island is practically a geo- graphical blank, it is neatly divided on the maps between Britain, Germa- ny and Holland. Among its products are birds of paradise, spices and can- nibals. Another particularly interesting dis- trict which has so far defied civiliza- | tion lies secreted among the Himalaya mountains. Rumor accounts that it is presided over by women, who are responsible for such rude laws as are necessary even in a lawless district, manage the affairs of state and live in a luxury of inverted Mormonism by possessing four or five husbands apiece. To the hill men are relegated all the tough tasks and menial labors, “Mere man” is of small account beside these Himalayan amazons. But we may as- sume that in due season the men will rise to claim their vote. The foregoing selection does not ex- haust by any means the list of geo- graphical blanks waiting to be filled.

MAPLESS REGIONS Grand Rapids Village Lots AND $5 PER MONTH REISHUS-REMER Paastena MARVELS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. How Creatures Invi le to the Eye Are Shown as Monsters. Photographing the invisible sounds like a misnomer, but correct to say in- visible by the unaided eye. Tais com- plex and valuable science is revealing wonders in the excessively minute, and myriad objects, animate and inan- imate, are brought to view whose ex- {stence has all along been unknown. Two methods of illuminating the ob- jects are in use—strong light is pass- ed through very thin layers of the sub- stance or reflected from the outside surface of thick masses and also from the external portions of exceedingly small opaque bodies. These solid particles can be placed on glass slides or floated in transpar- ent liquids, as a drop of water be- tween two very thin glasses. Pinch the glasses close together; there is no danger of killing the smaller kinds of animals, such as bacteria and microbes. They have plenty of room in a film of water so thin as to be beyond imagi- nation. The magnifying lenses for expan- sion of images of these minute objects require the most consummate skill in manufacture, the microcamera like- wise, and the two combined are tri- umphs of human genius. The finished products, the perfected pictures, are highly educational. Many different kinds of greatly improved glass are now made in Jena, Germany, and these have almost revolutionized mi- croscopy. And the wonders accom- plished by using the most sensitive plates ever made, and these with many different kinds of waves of light, are almost beyond comprehension. The “Arabian Nights” people are eclipsed. Thus put a drop of stagnant water on glass, lay a thin plate upon it, press down, and the layer of water will be thin indeed. Put it under the microscope, turn bright light through the layer, pass this light into the very small camera and let it fall on a pre- pared moving film; then the amazing effect of animals in motion is to be fixed on a film that is itself in motion. This film, a long strip, is then placed pass powerful projecting lenses in a moving picture outfit. This is, indeed, photographing the unknown. Since man appeared on earth no such aid to refined research into nature’s labyrinths ‘has been dis- covered. Then a large audience can see all that there is in a minute drop of water on a screen from ten to six- teen feet in diameter. Totally invisi- ble creatures become monsters and move with great rapidity before the eyes of the people. Thousands of new species of minute living organisms are rescued from realms of the unknown. —Edgar Lucien Larkin in New York American. z Bamboos as Water Pitchers. In the Hawaiian Islands the natives carry their supply of water about with them in long bamboo tubes, the joints \of which have been knocked out. Girls may be seen making their way to near- by springs with the family “water jug.” They patiently fill the long hol- low in the bamboo with water, block- ing up the end with a wooden plug. This is then carried to the hut and lasts the family for several days, keep- ing cool and sweet in this novel re- ceptacle. The larger bamboo trunks are used in the same way as receptacles for storing various household commod- ities—World Wide Magazine. Changed With Time. The word “affectionate” is an in- stance of how meanings change, for an affectionate person was originally the reverse of agreeable, the word meaning passionate or willful. John Knox in 1554 writes of “the govern- ment of an affectionate woman” being “a rage without reason,” and a century later another writer deplores the evils of affectionate soldiers. And now, as any nursemaid knows, affectionate soldiers have no evils.—London Stand- ard. Silenced. “Do you know, Clara, we ought not to subscribe to the opera any more. We bind ourselves, and afterward we have to hear the same things over and over again.” “As if that were any reason! I have also bound myself and have to hear the same things over and over again from you.”—Meggendorfer Blatter. The Hottest Mines. It is said that the hottest mines in the world are those of the famous Comstock lode. On the lower levels the heat is so great that the nfen can- not work over ten or fifteen minutes at atime. Every known means of miti- gating the heat has been tried in vain. Ice melts before it reaches the bottom of the shafts.
