WIRELESS
(New York Evening Sun.)
Of course there is nothing to be said in defense of the
telegraph companies if they have really been sending their
"night messages" by hand instead of over the wire but there
doesn't seem to be any real competition involved with the
United States mails. Probably the "wireless" messenger who
carried a bag of night letters from New York to Boston got to
his destination on time the ne^ct morning and the "telegrams"
were delivered on time.
But if they had been committed to Mr. Burleson tender
care it would be a gamble as to when they might reach Boston.
With good luck a letter ^an go for only three cents all the way
from Park Row to Beacon street in less than twenty-four
hours. But not if it has to go to Chicago or Saskatchewan first,
or if it has to rest for a week in a railway mail car, or a
pleasant pigeonhole somewhere.
Perhaps there is room for a jitney service, a delivery by
hand, if legal difficulties can be overcome. Or it may be
conceivable that the regular post office service could, in- proper
han|s become effcient once more.
UNIVERSAL TRAINING, PHYSICAL TRAINING
Those who, from inadequate information or some other
reason or near-reason, object to universal military training
for the youth of our nation, cannot, if they think a moment,
oppose the proposition of compulsory physical training for
the manhood (and womanhood too) of the country.
Such a regime world entail no hardship nor inconvenience
upon any, save the sloths, would add immeasurably to the
health, spirits and democratic unity of the men of the country,
and would, in the event of war, make training merely a
military matter, requiring much less time than now, because
of the physical condition and mental alertness of the men
being trained.
"Get next" to this movement, initiated by the National
Security League.
USE THE BOOTS
The first item in our programme for "industrial and
commercial relief" for Russia is announced as a shipment of
fifty thousand pairs of shoes. Their usefulness can be greatly
enhanced if they are employed in kicking the Bolsheviki out
of power.

AUSTRIA ALSO IMPRESSED
Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver, returning from Italy, tells
the good people of Paris that he,is much impressed by what
Italy has done. We understand that the Auatrians feel that
same way about it.
NO OCCASION FOR SURPRISE
Pacific Coast lumbermen and commercial organizations
complain that the new freight rates instituted by the railroad
administrator gave an advantage to Southern mills. What
else did they expect?

Well! Well! Well! If little old New Jersey hasn't up and
diplomatically informed Messers Fulton and Dempsey that
there is nothing doing in the frame-up boxlngiout in that state.
This pair has sought to tack their get-the-coin setto onto a big
Red Cross campaign, but it was too raw, even for the
Jerseyites.
Let's see, didn't the government make a big roar about
"Work or fight?"
One cannot help but notice the fact that everywhere
the women are taking the places of the men. While south

cornfields wore skirts.Spooner News
And we've seen some not in cornfields.
The income tax this year yield nearly three billion dollars.
Uncle Sam is certainly some magician. He knows perfectly
well how to transform a full pocketbook into an empty one.
The young man of twenty-one used to look forward to
casting his first vote. Now he anticipates a march and a battle.

The army's medical department has
made the whole world a debtor. It
was an army surgeon who slew the
hookworm in Porto Rico it was an
army medical man who fought to the
death with yellow fever In Havana
and conquered it it was- an army man
who made the disease-breeding
swamps' of Panama into a zone of
health, and finally, and most spectac
ular of all, it was an army engineer
who'dug the Panama* canal when civil
ians threw up the job. Again and
again a board of army officers has
provided the expert knowledge and the
integrity of character necessary to ad

Heavy Earthquake Shcck.
An earthquake occurred on October
20, 1870, and was felt very sensibly
over northeastern America, from New
Brunswick to Iowa, and from the River
St. Lawrence to Cincinnati. Some of
the large stores and factories in New
York city were so badly shaken that
employees rushed into the streets.
Further north it was more pronounced
(At Montreal bells .were rung In the
.swaying steeples of public buildings,
and In Quebec chimneys were thrown
down. Several of the public schools in
Tfew York were dismissed, teachers
and pupils joining in hasty flight, the
walls of buildings were shaken and
furniture was moved from its place.

You can turn gray, faded hair
beautifully dark and lustrous almost
over night if you'll get a 60-cent bot
tle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" at any drug store. Mil
lions of bottles of this old famous
Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the
addition of other ingredients, are
sold annually, says a well-known drug
gist here, because it darkens the hair
so naturally and evenly that no one
can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray
or becoming faded have a surprise
awaiting them, because after one or
two applications the gray hair van
ishes and your locks become luxur
iantly dark and beautiful
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
tonight and you'll be delighted with
your dark, handsome hair and your
youthful appearance within a few
days.

If I happen to marry a woman with
whom naturally agree, I will turn
out a good husband if not, I'll turn
out a bad husband. Find a man and
wife who are compelled to "study"
each other in order to get along, and
who "talk things .over" a good deal,
and say mean chings to each other,
and they'd'separate if it wasn't for
the children, or the name of it.--Ed

That lad of yours, over seas.
All that is humanly possible is be
ing done to see to it that he is well
fed, well clothed and efficiently
equipped. Organizations like the
Y. M. C. A., are looking to his phys-*
ical comfort, healthful recreation
and clean fun. If he is sick or
wounded the Red Cross will provide
for him with tender, loving care.
^Yet there is one thing that will
bring a smile to his face and a joy
to his heart that none of these can
give that only you can give^
your photograph.

For instance, they have gone to such com-
munities as Nebish ,Little Fork, Northome7 Alv-
wood and others from other points further out
But we find that our home farmers near
Bemidji are overlooking the opportunity of secur-
ing a Fordson Tractor and plow at the dealer's
This matter is therefore called to the atten-
tion of the farmers in Bemidji and vicinity.
There is an opportunity to still secure one of
these tractors for Bemidji farmers, but immedi-
ate action is necessary.
Inquire for information, and remember that
the banks will assist you in making the deal.
