This is the only highway into Rock
Island from the south. Most of the
year it is impossible. 1t should be
fixed up and at once. We want not
only money for the work but also the
donations of teams and men. Local
firms who have much occasion to use
the bridges should be willing to con-
tribute toward this worthy enterprise.
Every cent given will be actually spent

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do a tremendous amount of work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by filtering the
blood. -
During the winter months espec-
tally, when we live an indoor life;
the kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed, as we take
less exercise, drink less water and
often eat more rich heavy food,
thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended.
Evidence Of kidneys trouble, such as
lame back, inability to hold urine,
smarting or burning, brick-dust or
sediment, sallow complexion, ,rheum-
atism, may be weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your
kidneys require help Immediately to
avoid more serious trouble. +5.-''
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most
healing influence. An ideal herbal
compound that has had most re-
markable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's

UNIQUE EXAMPLE or LOYALTY
Popular Daughter of Prominent Chi.
nese Official 10 Married to Large
Red Vase. 70

4t,s Not long ago considerable commo.
ton was caused in the Chinese city
of Hankow when the attractive and
popular daughter OF prominent Chi
nese ofdcialewas married with great
ponlp and ceremony to a large red
vase which was supposed to represent
q deceased bridegroom who had died
a. few years before his marriage.
Whereupon his grief-stricken-bride-
elect declared that she would never.
marry any one else, but would devote
herself as a widow for the rest Of her
life to the family of her husband. In
order to do this. however, it was neces-
sary that she should legally belong
to that family and SO the strange .cere-
mony with the vase was gone through
with to enable her to become mem
Der of the family. Since then 1t has
been suggested that an arch should
be built III the city in order to COM
memorate the devotion of the young
girl to the husband she never had.

What It Means.

-. The closing Of the Weyerhauser-
Sheylin deal whereby the Crookston
Lumber company comes into possess
sion OF the Weyerhauser timber and
the sale of the Spooner mill, has
more of a meaning to Bemidji than
next twelve years, this city is to have
a payroll from one concern OF ap-
proximately $4,000 per month from
April to November with a smaller
payroll the year through. 1t means
that the company will log summer as
well as winter and that a steady
stream of supplies will be kept going
from Bemidji to the camps.
Bemidji has twelve years of grace
in which to develop the surrounding
country to an extent whereby the
city viii lbe able to live and prosper
when the. mills must go. The COM
pany will be logging at kelliher. The
country around Bemidji has been
logged of many years ago and must
be brought under a state of cultiva-
ton if the city is to remain forever
prosperous. This is a line of work
which the city must not neglect.
The selling of the Spooner mill to
the Backus-Brooks interest, who also
control the NJ. & l., means that the
kelliher branch will undoubtedly
soon be pushed to Spooner. 1t means
that all Of the north half of this coun-
ty will be thrown open for the Be-
midi wholesale houses. 1t will mean
material reduction in the expense
of running the county.
Bemidji is to be first-class town
for at least twelve years to come.
What it will be after: the mills. go de-
ponds largely on the efforts made to
get the surrounding country into
productive farms An increase of 200
working men means an addition of
about 1000 population to Bemidji
and Nymore. More food will be need
ed and the settlers will find ready
market for their produce. 49,:

BATTLEFIELD Fruit.

Bottle feeding is the latest wrinkle
In the growing of the enormous winter
dollhouse fruit, and it has increased
the fruits size and sweetness so or

A modiste with large establish ment and the smartest trade in a city of great wealth has a credit man who handles the finances of her shop. He confesses that he does not tread path of roses.
 Our trade divides itself into two distinct classes" he declared: those that are very prompt pay and those that are extremely slow pay An ac- count is either settled immediately or else drags along for months. There are multi-millionaires In both these lists. 1 could name several women of immense wealth and the highest social standing who would be ashamed to wear gown that had not been paid for On the other hand, I could name perhaps quite as many, equally wealthy and perhaps more fashion able, who would apparently be quite as mucn ashamed to wear a gown that was paid for. What do we do about it? Nothing We just wait until they take notion to pay. It sinners down to a mere matter of banking. Some of this class will pay once in three or four months: some twice year They are good; 1t is ur to us to carry them If We wish to keep their trade Saturday Evening Post
