SUBSCRlPTiON---S5.OO PER ANNUN

The editor of the Rainy River
Region, published at Baudette,
has evidently been worrying over
the problem as to how best to
spell the name of his town. He
says:
"For some time many say that
we must spell the name of our
town 'Beaudette. Of course,
that is the French way OF spell
ing the name. But the govern
ment of Uncle Sam says our post
office and port of entry for Gus
toms purposes is 'Baudette,
without the 'e). Well what are
you going TO do about it? If the
government said the name Of our
postoffice was Maud, we rather
imagine you would direct your
letters to Maud to find US.
Either or any way Of spelling it
is good enough for us. Put a
stone wall around it and call it
Jericho if you can spare the
time"
The advocates of simplifed
spelling might suggest that the

Marriage. and, H..Itn,

Marriage is an Institution highly con
ducive to the health OF both husband
and wife, says American Medicine.
Statistics prove that among married
men over twenty years OF age and wo-
men over forty the mortality rate Is
far less than among those who remain
single. Among the widowed and di-
vorced the mortality Is exceptionally
great Suicides among the unmarried
are much more numerous than among
the married. The, matrimonial state
promotes temperance in every form.
Furthermore, the probable duration Of
life Of married man of thirty exceeds
that of his unmarried brother by i've
years, and the wife may expect to live
one year longer than a single woman
OF the same age.

rible odor. The houses on the main

side open, as houses are built in Japan.
There is little or nothing displayed for.
sale In any shops, aud there Is seIdoili
anything to detain lolterer along the

lutely nothing about the Joys. and sor-
rows OF shopping. She lives her life in
yirtuous seclusion, or at least In seclu-
sion, and the tradesmen must needs go
to her and thrust their goods respect
fully through a small opening in. the
door Of her apartments What she
doesn't want she thrnsts out again
and then haggIes with him over the
price OF what she has selected, WITH
the thin but not transparent partition
between them. So there is little need
for attractive shop windows. Since the
women make all the mems clothes,
they. of course, buy the materials for
them also. and have really never
seen anything purchased in shop.

Next to the mayor the recorder is the
most ancient public official in the city.
His Office dates back to the Dongon
charter, given with the authority OF
King james IL to the city of New
York in April 1886 The governing
body Of the city were the mayor. the
recorder and the aldermen.
From the recorder sprang. in 1921.

later became the supreme court. Orig
lnally the mayor and the recorder held
all the court in New York. both civil
and criminal, the aldermen sitting also
to aid in dlsposlng OF petty cases. The
recorder was member Of the board
Of aldermen. One of his important du-
ties was TO pass on competency for clti-
zenship.
The first recorder was James Ora
ham, appointed by charter his duties
included those Of the present recorder
and many more. Gradually as the
court business increased the recorder
ceased to act as an alderman, aud in
