STATE GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES AND THEIR HIS- TORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Prepared by the Minne sota Historical Society for the United Press.) CARVER COUNTY Minnesota would have been -fc very remiss had she failed to make a county for Jonathan Carver, the first Englishman to visit the region Carver was a Connecticut Yankee who undertook to explore the Northwest after its acquisi tion from France in 1783 and spent the winter of 1766-67 with the Sioux on the Minne sota river. Later he published an account of his "Travels," the reliability of which is still a bone of contention among historians. After Carver's death a deed was produced purporting to be a grant to him by the In -fc dians of a large tract of land including most of St. Paul and part of Minneapolis. Although invalid in English law and re jected by congress, claims un der this deed have been ad vanced again and only a few months ago certain property owners in Minneapolis were embarrassed by the filing of a mortgage said to be based on this deed. ON DIVIDING THE STATE Mankato Review: The ancient proposition for the division of the state of Minnesota by the creation of a new state out of the northern portion of this commonwealth is again to be urged, but it fails as be fore to meet with much popular re sponse. There is really but very lit tle reason for burdening the people of the area now included within the bounds of Minnesota with the sup port of two state governments. This might not actually double the expense of state government but it would cer tainly greatly increase its cost. The principal thing that those who favor the proposition have in view is that there would be practically twice as many state offices as there now are to furnish jobs for aspiring states men. Not only would there be two governors where now there is but one and a duplication of all the other elective state offices, but there would also be four United States senators where there now are but two. Poets and philosophers have in voked blessings on the man who makes two blades of grass to grow where only one blade grew before, but no sane philosopher is going to bless the man who duplicates of ficial jobs in order to make more sal aries for the taxpayers to provide for. Rather would his blessings be in voked on the one that devises means for simplifying government and mak ing the list of salaried officials less numerous. The proposition for state division will not be realized in Minnesota while the people retain their good judgment. SEWER NECESSARY The city of Bemidji is planning several public improvements this year, including paving and the con struction of sanitary sewers. Sanitary sewers are a necessity and we believe that this improvement should be taken up first. We be lieve that it is more of a necessity at this time than is the paving of a few blocks of street. It is estimated that the cost of the construction of a sanitary sewer on America avenue, from Ninth to Thir teenth streets on Minnesota avenue, from Twelfth to Fourteenth streets on Beltrami and from America to Beltrami avenue on Thirteenth street would be $8,410.40. The people on these streets and in this neighborhood should have this much needed improvement. SCANDAL TRAVELS FAST Sound travels 400 yards per sec ond ,but scandal travels twice as fast, according to Professor Benjamin Snow of the University of. Wiscon sin. He is an international auth ority on matters pertaining to phys ics. "Flattery also travels much taster than sound," says Professor W^.l^^akJi^Sfirf^-J'^-^fta f.i. Snow, "butuold truths lags* way be hind. The slowest- sound to reach its destination, is the one emanating from a student's alarm clock." RICHARD HARDING DAVIS Richard Harding Davis is dead. He was one of the most popular of American writers, a playwright also, and a veteran correspondent of five wars, including the present. Among his-well known novels were ''Soldiers of Fortune," "Gallagher and Other Stories," "A Year From a Corres pondent's Notebook," "The King's Jackal," "Captain Macklin," "Ran som's Folly," "The Bar Sinister," and "Vera, the Medium." TROUT SATURDAY The trout season will open in Min nesota next Saturday. The outlook for early trout fishing is good, ac cording to reports, except where streams are frozen or inaccessible.

Near City Drug Store PS EXERCISE AND GRECIAN BEAUTY WHAT IT MEANS. Many thousands of women are now a-days paying attention to physical cul ture and the proper exercise of their body muscles, where, thirty years ago or fifty years ago there-was no thought expended on this science which is quite necessary to physical beauty. The reason the Greeks, both men and women, excelled in beautiful and sym metrical forms was because of the at tention they paid to the proper exer cise. Then, too, they were untram meled by corsets, shoes and the in conveniences of clothing. To the minds of some women the idea of physical exercise conveys only the idea of hard fatiguing: work. Mild exercise con tinued day after day is best for the body and spirits and health. With out proper exercise there can be no health, and without health there can be no real beauty. There is no stronger proof of the sound remedial value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription than that it re stores the wasted form to its wonted roundness. The mighty restorative power of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription speedily causes all womanly troubles to disap pearcompels the organs to properly perform their natural functions, cor rects displacements, 5vercomes irregu larities, removes pain and misery at certain times and brings back health and strength to nervous, irritable and exhausted women. It is a wonderful prescription pre pared only from Nature's roots with glycerine, with no alcohol to falsely stimulate. It banishes pain, headache, backache, low spirits, hot flashes, drag ging-down sensations, worry and sleep lessness surely and without loss of time.
