hart opposition to take away the
support Of his hcme county and
weaken him In the convention.
This being true, it shows sad
state of affairs. II Eberhart cannot
carry his home county in the state
convention, how does he expect to
successfully lead the party in state
fight? At any rate. Weaver stands
for progressive principles and with
Lee and Gordon each pulling strong
in their parts Of the state, the
three should be able to meet on the
floor of the convention with COM
bination that would get the nomina-
zion for one of them in preference to
Eberhart. i'll
Weaver is not we'll known in this
part Of the state but it is said that
he is strong Roosevelt man and
this fact will probably have some in
11uence with progressive northern
delegations.

suits from single application. The
gray hairs will be less conspicuous,
and after a few, more applications
will restored to natural color.
Wyeths' Sage and Sulphur also
quickly removes dan1ruff, leaves the
scalp clean and healthy, and pro-
notes the growth of the hair. 1t is

DANGEROUS COLOR IS BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above the Earth
Prefer Red for the, Covering Of
Their Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
4 balloon, don't buy a blue one. Red
ones are the hest. There IL a scientific
reason why. According to the re.
searches Of NJ. Reynaud. caeutchouc il
strongly attracted by tho ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with quartz tube, which is 4 power
ful source of such rays. This fact
has practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc. ~ L..
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis.
covery that the envelopes suffer dur.
Ing ascensions, and this is explained
by tho greater effect OF ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color
Ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes, seen, but
never blue or violet. NJ. Reynaud con.
siders that red is the best color to
use, as it not only ahsorbs the ultra.
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to share in the
bad action of tho SUMS rays upon bal.
looms.

valuable Find Of Manuscript.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery Of Illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging as
far back as 1880. has just been made
in the library at Oxton Hail., says tho
Nottingham (Eng,) Guardian.
1t came about in this way: The
vicar of the parish, Rev. w. Laycock,
obtained permission to 60 through tho
books In the library at his leisure.
While SO doing his curiosity was
aroused by locked and forgotten
cupboard therein, which, no proceeded
to investigate. Its contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
which confirmed the impression con.
veyed by the antiquity Of their ap-
pearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage OF the art Of print
Ing. which was introduced into this
country IN 1S47.
The majority Of them arc folio vol.
umes, and with one exception they are
all in their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planed boards Of
solid oak, and the books are bound
with stout leather laces. the backing
and lining being fragments of illum.
mated manuscripts of a much earlier
date, cut up as waste with ruthless
Indifference. IL

The Box Factory.

Credit for securing of box
factory for Bemidji should be given
to the men of the Commercial club
who acting through a committee
were able to complete the necessary
financial arrangements in schedule
time. The box factory will. be a
material addition TO Bemidji indust-
ries as it will probably mean employ
ment for the heads of some forty or
fifty families.
1t will also be of a direct benefit
to the farmers in this section as they
will now have a market for wood
which has heretofore been waste.
This will lessen the cost of clearing
their land. The factory should be
running long after the big mills
have been moved.
Bemidji is fortunate in securing
the box factory; but the factory is
also fortunate in securing Bem1dji.

Children are much. more likely to
contract the contagious diseases when
they have colds. Whooping cough,
dlphtheria. scarlet fever, and. con-
sumption are diseases that are often
contracted when the child has cold.
That is why all medical authorities
say beware Of colds. For the quick
cure of colds you will find nothing
better than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant and safe to take.

Four Hats in the Ring,

Ed Weaver, of Mankato, has an
nounced that he is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. He is the fourth man to enter
the race. Lee, Gordon and Eberhart

time. Mankato is the home town of
Governor Eberhart and Weaver's
candidacy is looked upon as serious
ly threatening a supporting delega-
tion for Eberhart, from his home
county.
This view is strengthened by the
fact that In the recent town and, viii.
lage elections of Blue Earth county,
a preferential election for governor
was held and Weaver ran far ahead
OF the present governor, although
not candidate. 1t is also pointed
out that he has been county auditor

Weaver supported Eberharts last.

Declares He Will Boss the
Convention

Augusta, Ga, May l6-In this week 5
issue of The Jeffersonian Thomas f.
Watson calls on his friends "of the
country counties" TO meet him in eau
Gus and decide who we will have for
temporary and permanent chairman OF
the state convention, saying the city
politicians are too presumptuous," and
that I'VE are going to run the Atlanta
convention and select the delegates to
Baltimore"
He declares the convention is going
to be ''redheaded from start to finish"
that the people from coast to coast
and border to border will sit up and
take observations, and you can bet a
sad-eyed mule on that statement"
He says the Fulton delegation may
not be seated at all and if a Wilson
delegation shows up in proper form he
will take the floor in behalf of it; that
he is going to urge Wilson delegates
from Chatham, Floyd Fulton, Bibl
and Richmond counties and every
county carried by Woodrow Wilson.
I'VE are on top now and have got
to straighten things out
