Always Answered.

Children often are highly logical,
though not quite in the adult manner,
They attain conclusions by those proc
esses OF pure reason" which. being
quite unbiased by the opinions of
others, sometimes result in startling
truths.
Almost everybody. for instance, has
heard of the little lad who. listening to
the questions of an irreligious friend of
the family as to what would happen
supposing that one good Christian
should pray for an east and another
for a west wind at sea, innocently an
swered that Of course there'd be an
awful tempest, but not every one has
heard Of the equally pertinent and
naive solution recently offered by q
thoughtful youngster for the ever per-
picking problem Of Are prayers an
swered?"
The child was talking with another,
who asked the vexed and puzzling
question. explaining at the same time
that he didn't believe that prayers
were answered. because be never got

Brain of tho Bee,

In German scientific periodical @.
Jonescu gives the results Of his studies
of the brain of the bee. AS might be
expected from it's wonderful instincts,
this is found to be very complex. The
various divisions of the brain are de-
scribed in detail. but perhaps the most
interesting part is the comparison Of
the brains OF queens. workers and
drones. The worker has larger brain
than the queen. and as the difference
between queen and worker is the re-
suit Of diet during the grub stage it
appears that the food which develops
size OF body and fertility is not best
for the growth Of brain. The royal
jelly" as a mental stimulus is a fail
ure. In the drone the brain is not
larger than in the worker. but the op-
tic lobes are large, corresponding to
the large eyes.

CHARGING TO HEAR TAFT.ROOSEVELT.

Persons wishing to hear and see
President Taft and Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the Minnesota
State Fair will have to pay for it.
In the first place there will be the
general admission fee, and then the
cost of getting into the grand stand,
for it is in front of this structure that
both men are to speak.
Complaints are being made as a
result Of this arrangement, the
general impression being that one
admittance ought to be enough, if
indeed anything is paid to hea.
public men talk. These protests are
especially convincing regarding Mr..
Taft, who as president, is presumed
to belong to the people. Col. Roose-
welt is, of course, a private citizen
and if any private citizen is worth
paying a dollar to see and hear, the
colonel is that person.
The Fair officials contend that
the grandstand is the only place
where the crowds can properly be
assembled; that these two d1stin-
guished men are but incidental to
the regular program which the grand
stand people will witness.
The state fair sees a chance to
pick up $4,000 and the State Fair
doesn't pass up anything like that.

The House Was Shaky.

When John Quincy Adams was
eighty years of age he met in the
streets of Boston an old friend, who
shook his trembling hand and said,
Good morning, and how is John
Quincy Adams today?"
'"Thank you," was the ex-president's
answer. John Quincy Adams himself
is well, sir; quite well, I thank you.
But the house in which he lives at
present is becoming dilapidated. It is
tottering upon it's foundation. Time
and the seasons have nearly destroyed
it. Its roof is pretty we'll worn out.
Its walls are much shattered, and it
trembles with every wind. The old
tenement is becoming almost uninhabit.
able, and think John Quincy Adams
will have to move out of it soon. But
he himself is quite well, sir; quite
WELL"
With that the venerable sixth presi-
dent of the United States moved on
with the aid of his staff.

WHY NOT 10000 FOR BEmIDJl?

From the time, not so many years
ago, when the Bemidji townsite first
became reality, up to the present
it has leaped forward until it is known
throughout the country as one of the
biggest little cities in the state.
Natural advantages; enhancing
scenic grandeur, access to the wealth
of forests and grain producing soil
are factors combining to lure settlers
within her borders, but the real ex-
PLANTATION of Bemidji's growth largely
lies in the loyalty of her citizen s
who never lose an opportunity to
boost.
The county affair association, the
Commercial club and other business
organizations are bands of boosters
which spread the enthusiasm until it
is hard to find a person who has
visited Bemidji who isn't a booster.
1t is healthy sign for the city.
If the good work continues as it
probably will, the census of 1920 is
likely to show a population around
10000, for if a place of 1000 can
be carved out of treeless tract in
the short time it has taken to bring
Bemidji up to its present size, it is
reasonable to suppose that from
now on the growth will be more
rapid.

general feeling of our rural citizens.
He is conservative and will not say
that conditions are better than ever,
for he feels. as do all familiar with
the conditions, that this would be
an exaggeration.
1t is generally known that the soil
of the Turtle River valley is of the
first rank as to its producing quail
ties, and it has lived up to its repu-
tation even in this year of extreme
drought.
However, the prosperity of Turtle
River is enjoyed by other parts of
the country. Mother Earth has
been generous in a land where it is
good to be alive.

"'Well, what is de bes' thing in the

"'Roas' possum and sweet taters,'
said Hoke Smiths moke.

Didn't Wait the Attack.

At Boulogne during royal reception
some years ago number Of English
ladies in their anxiety to see every
thing pressed with such force against
the soldiers who were keeping the
line that the soldiers were forced to
give way and generally we're, as po-
licemen say, ''hindered in the execu-
ton Of their duty" The officer in
command, observing the state of at
fairs. called out: ''One roll of the
drum! If they don't stand back kiss
them alp After the first sound of
the drum the ladies took to fight.
If they had been French" said a
Partisan journal. they would have
remained to a woman"

Hayner's Record as Auditor.

While the Blackjack American has
published certain articles comenditory of
H.W. Alsop, candidate for County Auditor,
yet it has always been our policy to deal
fairly with all candidates and so at this
time we feel that it is no more than lust
to mention some of the things that have
been done by R. G. Hayner. the present
County Auditor and candidate for the
nomination for County Auditor.
& Shortly after Mr.. Hayner was appointed
to the office of County Auditor he sue
ceeded in getting from the State $1,000
This money was an appropriation that had
been allowed by the Legislature in 1908
but in some manner had been overlooked
and had not been collected. The money
so collected went into the Road and
Bridge fund and has greatly assisted the
county Board in building roads in this
year.& -
In January Mr.. Hayner advanced the
theory that all state lands could be taxed
holding that, inasmuch as the Leeisla-
ture had passed an act leasing all state
lands for grass stumpage purposes that
the state could not claim exemption m
der the Constitution, which says that
lands to be exempt must be used
EXCLUSIVELY for public purposes. This
/ theory has been commented UPON bv
nearly all the papers in the northern
part of the state. When asked whv he
did not levy an Auditors assessment Mr..
Hayner stated that without a question
OF doubt it would necessitate long fight
in the courts and supreme court decision,
which would mean the expenditure of
quite a sum of money and delay in getting
any direct returns" But in place of the
direct tax Mr.. Hayner proposes to 60 be-
fore the Legislature and ask for a stand
ing appropriation for road purposes equal
to certain sum per acre each year for
each acre as owned by the state And in
order to assist him in this matter he is
circulating petition, throughout the
northern part of the state in order to be
able to show remembers of the Legisla-
ture the feeling that exists and the absol-
ute needs of good roads, Mr.. Hayner
has secured the promise. of the assistance
of the tax commission in this matter.
While Mr.. Hayner has held Office of
County Auditor since November 18th,
when he was appointed to fill vacancy
caused. by the remov of the
former. County Auditor, he has the Office
well in hand and from all reports he has
conducted the Office in a very satisfactory
manner and certainly the effort he is
making to secure good roads should meet
the approval of Blackjack
American.
