MAKES SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT.
Baldwin Airship Scars Above Worlds
Fair Grounds.

falF OfOui1QS.
st. Louis, Oct. 26-An aeronaut in
the all ship Of 7. c.. Baldwin of Los
Angeles, CAL, caused intense excite
ment at the worlds fair grounds dur
ing the day by suddenly appearing
over the Transportation building at a
height of about 1000 feet.
The presence of the airship was not
noticed by the majority of the world S
fair visitors during the flight from the
aeronautic course to the main part of
the exposition grounds, a distance of
about one mile, but the fact of the
flight being made soon attracted the
attention Of thousands and the flight
of the airship was greeted with con-
tinued cheering.
The Baldwin airship is constructed
along the lines of the popular concep-
ton of flying machine The buoy
ancy is secured by a large cigar shaped
balloon and the car, which is long and
narrow, is suspended from the balloon
by many wire ropes.
The motive power is secured by
means of two large propellers or
wings, one on each side of the car, run
by a compact motor, located at the
stern.
Knabeshue brought the airship to
the ground in st Louis, a distance of
about eight miles in a direct line from
the starting point. He landed easily
and the balloon and machinery are not
Injured, it is stated.

No TOWN will become a good
business center, perttinently re-
marks the Crookston Times, so
long as it's merchants rely on a
few merchants to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in a
few lines Of trade are about the
only ones that reach out after
custom. Other merchants wait
until these men induce the peo-
pie to come to a town and content
themselves with trade that natur
ally drifts to their place. A pub
lie spirited man should ask him
self if he is doing his part to at
tract people to come to town to
trade in helping the entire bust
ness community, and no town is
a success unless all lines are
working to extend the trade as
far as possible and trying to
bring larger territory in the
circle in which the town is the
business center.

kEMPF CASE COMES UP.
Plaintiff Protests Against Change of
JUDGES

Judges.
Milwaukee, Oct 26-The case of
John J. Kempf, candidate for state
treasurer on the La Toilette Repub-
lican ticket, who resigned and later
instituted proceedings to prevent his
name from being dropped from the
ticket, came up before Judge Williams
IN the superior court during the day.
kempfs attorney objected to proceed
ing with the case on the ground that
he had not agreed to the stipulation
tor the removal Of the case to Judge
Williams court. The case was previ-
ously before Judge Tarrant in the cir
cult court. Judge Tarrant is now try
ing criminal case and it is not prob
able the case will be finished in time
to take up the Kempf case. AS Mon
day is the last day for fling nominal
tons with the secretary Of state it is
not thought possible that the case car
be disposed of unless the attorneys of
both sides can agree on stipulations as
TO some other court. Kempf's friends
are jubilant over the outlook.

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
Proved Its Worth.

The Business Mems club, or
gained less than a year ago, has
several times proved a substan-
tial blessing to the city. Partic-
ularly is this so in the matter of
securing the extension of the Red
Lake railway to this city. It is
true that the club did not move
in the matter originally, neither
was it essential to the success of
the matter that the club have it
in charge, for the business men
of the city are fully alive to the
advantages which the road will
bring to Bemidji and would
doubtless have brought the mat
ter to a successful conclusion,
had the club never existed. New
ertheless the club was a very
convenient channel through
which to conduct the negotiations
and it's efforts have assisted very
materially in bringing the matter
to SO favorable a conclusion.

What the Genuine Weevil Is. How 1t
Looks and How 1t Works.
The cotton boil weevil has attained
such notoriety that those who have
never seen it may have some curiosity
about the looks of so formidable a pest,
while those who seek to shun its &C.
quaintance will find some hints toward
that end in the following by Frederick
w. Mally of Texas:
The full grown weevils vary in size
from three-sixteenths to tnree-eighths
of an inch in length. They are quite
active when travelling, but fly rather
sluggishly.
The color of the adult varies some
what. depending upon the age of the
weevil examined. A newly transformed
weevil is whitish all over. AS it gets
older the body becomes chocolate in
color The wings at first turn a clear
wine color and then darker, later be-

THE COTTON BOIL WEEVIL.
IA, adult beetle; B, pupa; c, larva. All
enlarged Vertical lines show actual
size.l
coming slightly hairy or pubescent.
Down the middle of the upper surface
of the thoraX this pubescence becomes
somewhat longer and so dense that it
forms a whitish line. Some adults are
found whose body color is essentially
black instead of a dull chocolate
Again, some are more distinctly light
brown. The pubescence soon wears off
somewhat and then the weevils look
darker. This accounts for the frequent
confusion among planters as to what
the genuine weevil is and how it looks.
The active feeding period of the
adult weevils is during the day. At
night they travel and fly but very lit
tie. 1t has often been noted that
weevil observed in any particular
square at sundOwn is found within the
identical square at sunrise unless dis
turbed during the night. During the
vigorous growing season of cotton the
weevils go about from plant to plant
by short sluggish flights. When cotton
is knee high or more, it usually hap
| pens that they ay only across to the
next row before striking another plant,
on which they light.
Early in spring, when the adults
come out from winter quarters, they
are VOracious eaters and feed readily
on any young cotton to be found. They
feed for the most part by getting III
among the developing leaf buds be
tween the seed leaves, into which they
eat, just as they do the young squares
later In spring, before squares are
formed on cotton, the weevils Otter
eat small hole into the tender grow
ing portions of the stems or branches
They have a habit of eating into thes'
somewhat different from that of eat
ing into a square under cover. The enc

eats a hole rather than bores it, as th
popular notion is.
When preparing to feed on any eX
posed portions of the plant, the weevi
nearly always uses its sharp mand
bles at the end of the snout to rasp tn
outer bark, so as to enable it to sc
hold of the ragged ends, which it the
deliberately pulls off and lays on on
side. After doing this it eats the tel
der portions underneath. This proces
