IT'S YOUR MOVE, MR.. CITIZEN.

Congress, long time ago, appro-
priated $4,000 for new Federal
building in Bemidji.
About $4,000 was to be expended
in securing site. The only stipu-
lation made by the government on
the site was that if an inside lot
was selected, land must be provided
for a74O-foot space on each side of
the building as the government as
place a building within 40 feet of
another building.
The citizens of Bemidji then at
tempted to decide on building site.
Each man had his own idea where
the site should be located, some for
their own interests and others for
the city's best interest. No agree
ment was able to be reached. Then
petition was circulated, giving the
government full power of selecting
building site. But the petitions,
too, have been forgotten. Months
have passed, and no action has been
taken by the citizens.
The government has made it's
move.
AS it is necessary for the matter
to. come before congress again, it is
necessary for you Mr.. Citizen, to make
a move and you will have to do it
Immediately as congress will meet
in December. If no action is taken
at. this. session the matter will be
laid over until the next session and
after three or four years from now a
Federal building might be secured.
Why not give the government the
full say as to where it should locate
the building?
Why not sign petitions giving the
government this right?
Wouldn't it be the best move?
We invite you, Mr.. Citizen, to use
these columns to air your views as
to what should be done in this mat
ter.
Action must be taken Immediately
however.
Make a move, Mr.. Citizen.

Mr.. Lindbergh. -.::
St. Cloud Journal-Press: 1T is
not officially announced that Con-
gresham Lindbergh will base his
candidacy for governor on the fact
that he was a bitter opponent of the
new banking law''-Duluth Herald.
Mr.. Lindbergh is prepared to take
either side of the question. If the
law Is popular he can show that he
voted for the original bill in the
house. If it is unpopular he can
show that he voted against it when
it came back from the senate with a
few amendments. There are so few
clever politicians in the country as
is our congressman He is careful
to keep so near the top of the fence
that he can land on either side.

NOTHING MORE TO INVENT.

The Scientific American has dug
up the following train of thought:
Some one pouring over the old
files in the United States patent Office
at Washington the other day found
a. letter: written in, 1888 that illus
trates the limitations of human i'm
agination.
& It was from an old employe of the
patent office, offering his resigna-
ton to the head of the department.
His reason was that as everything
patentsoffice would soon be discontin-
ued and there would be no further
need of his services or the services
of any OF. his: fellow clerks. He,
therefore, decided to leave before the
blow fell.
Everything inevitable had been
invented! The writer of this letter
journeyed in a stage coach or a canal
boat. He had never seen limited
train or an ocean greyhound. He
read at night by candle light, If he
read at all in the evening; more
likely he went to bed soon after dark
and did all his reading by daylight.
He had never seen a house lighted
by Illuminating gas. The arc and
incandescent lights were not to be
invented for nearly half century.
If he had ever heard Of electricity
he thought Of it as a mysterious and
dangerous thing that strikes from
the clouds during thunderstorm.
That it could be harnessed to do
mans will had never occurred to him.
He never heard the clicking of a
telegraph sounder. The telephone
would have seemed as wonderful TO
him as voyage to the moon. Mo-
tion pictures would have reminded
him Of black art, and the idea that a
machine could be invented whereby
man could fly above the clouds like a
bird, ascending and descending at
will, would have seemed to him
merely absurd.

linotype machine, which seems almost
to think; the X-ray, by means OF

that her feather pillow cases had be.

were dust, dirt and dandruft.
Mrs. Reddy vowed she'd make these
lmps scamper, SO she called the
American Laundry. told them her
trouble and found to her surprise that
they had a special process for Just
such cases. She was invited to the
laundry to see actual cleansing OF
feather pillows. holsters and so forth.
Mrs. Reddy came; this is what she
saw. Each pillow washed in an in.
dividual bag avoiding all possible
chances OF damaging or confusing.
The. cover and feathers thoroughly
cleansed by special washing pro.
cess, without removing the feather
pillows. They were then dried in a
revolving tumbler. drying done BY
means OF fresh superheated air, which
stefilizes the feathers and case.
Mrs. Reddy went home, her pillows
went TO the American Laundry the
next day. And she believes that all
who learn OF her experience will tnd
II TO their advantage TO do likewise.

Presently the retiring troops heard

The door was locked. She turned to
