HOW BIG IS BEMIDJI?
KEEP GUESSING

A fellow told the census editor the
other day that the state census was
heap more correct and more accur-
ately taken than the usual federal
census and that it is utterally non
sensical to assume that the excess of
the 1905 (state) census over the
1900 (federaD census represents the
increase of population in Bemidji
from 1900 to 1905.
The present census is being taken
by an exceptionally good lot of
enumerators. They are raking this
settlement with a fine tooth comb
and it is said that not a soul will
escape. All these things should be
taken into account by one formu-
lating guess for the Pioneers gold.
Make your estimate each day as
the paper comes out and figure it
out as to present conditions and as
to the growth of the city in the pa st.
1t was the intention of the census
editor to publish each and every
guess as it reached this office, but
such a thing is utterly impossible.
Now he has been driven to the
necessity of printing one here and
there, so here it goes:

T.,,s Of Pins.

Nothing better shows the bigness OF
little things than the manufacture Of
pins In England there are made each
week between fifteen and sixteen tons
Of the small necessaries. the materials
being iron. steel and brass. The year.
ly production would amount to about
100 tons. The number Of pins includ.
ed In this great weight would make
any ordinary figures seem Insignificant
would. In fact, defy realization or
comprehension. Germany also makes
great quantities Of pins. her produc-
tion totaling about IA tons a year.
The United States makes great quan-
titles of pins and imports many from
England. Most OF the latter country's
output Is manufactured In Blrming-
ham by two firms. one Of which has
been In existence nearly century and
the other over a century. Philadelphia

Mr.. Edmonds grew serious. "The

"Let's put 1t aside. We have each 9th.

1t was quite an affair. Mr.. and Mrs.

beside his new found friends, II al

and his genial face beamed with good
nature. ~ see how true 1t is that un-
expected pleasures are the keenest.
Funny thing, Mrs. Edmonds, but

At this Edmonds smiled at his wife.
"Neither did we. Now we are glad
we did," he said. But, Tom, why
haven't you called? You might have

Punishment For Perjury

Perjury Is crime more severely
punished In Germany than IN any 9th
er country in the world. Even an ap-
parently trivial misstatement under
oath carries a sentence of ten years In
prison. Excepting murder, there are
few crimes that carry as heavy a pen
atty as perjury, The German theory Is
that the entire system of jurispru-
dence rests on the respect for an oath
administered under the forms Of law
and that this must be strictly guarded
In order to secure the punishment of
other crimes and insure justice In civil
cases. Germany stands at one extreme
and the United States at the other.
Fewer people are punished in the
United States for false swearing In
the witness box than in any other
country. y.--London Telegraph.
