GREW NAME ON TOMATO
Grower Nominates Marshall For Pres
ident by Unique Method.

indianapolis, July 11.-Harvey M.
Cook. of Avondale. Pa, has nominated
Governor Marshall for the presidency
next year by means of two tomatoe
which have been sent to the gov
ernor.
That such a nomination is effective,
Mr.. Cook asserts, is proved by the
fact that he nominated Taft and
Roosevelt in similar manner.
Each tomato bore on its ruddy sur
face the inscription Thomas r. Mar
shall, 1912" The manner OF its COM
ing there was obvious. The grower
had stitched some sort of fibre to the
skin of the fruit while 1t was green,
and the subsequent growth had made
the letters appear, except for the
stitches, as a part of the skin.

THE PROPOSED BOULEVARD.

If it is possible to formulate any
tangible plan whereby boulevard
may be constructed around Lake Be-
midji-that pearl of Beltrami county
certainly not many sane men can
be found to oppose it.
Mr.. Lycan sounds the keynote
when he says that such a driveway
would be Of inestimable value in at
tracing tourists and residents to
Bemidji. His point that more visi-
tors can be brought here, it seems
to us, is exceedingly we'll taken.
1t probably will be generally con-
coded that this proposed roadway
would be a good thing, so that
r. ally the only point now to be con-
sidered is how the necessary funds
are to be obtained and how soon the
work can be started. The sooner
the better.
