All of Minnesota at one time be-
longed to France as that nation had
laid claim to it from treaty made
with the Indians June 4, 1871 by
Father Allouez, Nicholas Perrot and
Louis Joliet, three Frenchmen. Later
the English made the claim that the
AlgonQuins were their subjects and
as the Chippeways are branch Of
the Algonquin, nation, the English
claimed Minnesota as a part Of their
country. Nothing came Of the claim
however. s. .ss:s IS . I s.
A diplomatic settlement of the So
called "seven Years War, of Freder-
lex the Great against Austria, Russia
and France resulted in France ceed-
ing to England, who had saided Fred
erick, all Of her land east Of the Mis-
sissippi with the exception Of the
city of New Orleans. By hits treaty,
Nymore and all of the country to the
south Of Bemidji became English soil
while Bemidji and the country to the
north remained French. T
The dividing line was the Mississ-
ippi river where it still connects
Lakes Irving and Bemidji. The part
Of Minnesota under French dominion
was coded to the United States By
France in the Louisiana Purchase Of
April 80, 1903. The purchase was
not delivered to the United States
until March 10, 8O4. It cost the
government $3.50 per acre This il
probably the lowest price at which
land near Bemidji was ever sold.

SUMMER STAMPS
AND WINTER STAMPS
The Postoffice Department
Makes Three Brands to
Suit the Season

Sometimes you take precautions to
place few postage stamps inside note
book where you would think they could
not possibly stick together by carrying
the book in your pocket, because there
seems to be too much thickness for the
body heat to penetrate, and yet you dis
cover them, perhaps. only few hours
later stuck SO firmly together that they
are spoiled. SAYS the New York Ameri-
can.
Then again you may carry postage
stamps about for many days or weeks
and they never stick together. And the
explanation of this is that the stamps
that stick are probably winter stamps.
This is because the government makes
three brands of postage stamps, sum
mer," winter" and intermediate" The
intermediate stamps are supposed to be
used during the spring and fall, or dur
ing the seasons when 1t Is neither ex-
tremely cold nor excessively hot.
This does not mean that the govern
ment printing department makes these
stamps with any different design or
color. The seasonable part of the stamp
is all in the glue, or gum. that is used
to back them. For the summer sale
the gum used is slightly harder than
for the other sort. This is so it will
not melt as readily with body heat or
room heat and is intended to assist in
preventing them from sticking together.

continued Claudius ignoring the inter-
ruption. who in future years will be
known in history as the pioneers in the
second RENAISSANCE, the martyrs of the
worlds second revival In all the arts
but especially painting, which controls
the progress in all the other branches of
science and learning.
Now, look here, my dear sir, at the
floor. OF course there are no futurist
paintings in this wild place, but I'll
venture can point out to you a dozen
examples of my art, sir, and at the
same time enable you to realize it's
close relation to our everyday life, its
absolute association with practically
every phase of our modern existence.
The floor of the lobby here, as you
may see, Is laid off in small squares
made by the marble slabs of which 1t
is composed. 1t, therefore, reveals to
the eye a network of lines. Here this
floor has lain for many years. it was
constructed by two or three ignorant
workmen, but obeying divine impulse,
sprung the first futurist art; here 1t
has lain, 1 say and hundreds have tram
pied over 1t and yet not one has ever
seen the true art that lies imbedded in
its lines. 1t Is crude, to be sure. How
could you expect a masterpiece from
few workmen who were being paid
by the day and who were totally ig-
norant of the real thing they were
doing? You don't wolow me- Now let
me explain.
In the absence of higher art those
crude lines of the tiled floor repre-
sent to me the crowd of souls on the
banks of the river Acheron, struggling
to get aboard old Charon's boat and
cross the dark waters to Pluto's throne
OF course you can't see that there re-
member that is not what futurst paint
ing Is.
The lines on that floor represent to
your eye the impression your brain
would receive If you actually did see
the crowd of souls waiting for trans
portation across the Acheron. See the
monotony of the lines? That represents
the ceaseless and endless throng, the
endless trips of the old boatman, the
endless cries of those who well know
that old Pluto is going to send them
to the frey realms of Tartarus. And
their mingling and continual crossing
of each other represents the confusion
of the place. See old Charon there In
the foreground taking ON a load? And
how careful he is to receive from each
soul his obolus in payment for the trip?
And there in the foreground, see that
old man hunting under his tongue for
the coin? The poor old codger has

else his relatives were so greedy that
