BUCHANAN A SURE WINNER

c. B. Buchanan of Little Falls
maintains good lead in the race for
the Republican congressional nominal
ton from this district. Sentiment
in his favor appears to be increas-
ing steadily though the campaign
has hardly opened as yet.
Nearly every newspaper in the
Sixth district has recognized that the
district needs a live, practical man
who knows the needs of this dis
trict.
Mr.. Buckman is a typical Mime
sofa Sixth district hustler, a prac-
tical man and he does things.
He has been farmer, logger and
a builder. For years he was the
leading employer of labor in North
ern Minnesota. He has been drilled
in the common walks of life and
knows the desires and needs of the
people. During his previous term in
congress he was very successful and
made record at that time which
should receive hearty endorsement

"AMERICA"

Last week at the close of the North
Central Educators annual meeting
the song America" was sung. Every
person present sang the first verse but
when the second and other verses
were sung only about one-half of the
persons were singing-the others did
not know the words.
We would venture to say that less
than one-half of the students of the
schools are able to sing the entire
song.
We believe that the school auth
critics should make arrangements so
that every student in the Bemidji
schools and especially those in the
high school can learn the words of
the song "America."

(From the Spokane Spokesman
Review

ReV1eW.)
Switzerland seems to have solved
wisely the problem of acquiring for
it's youth all the benefits of state
training and discipline, freed from
the evils of military caste and ag-
gressive militarism as they are ex-
emplified in the German army.
German efficiency and highly dis
ciplined cooperation compel our re-
spect, wonder and admiration. 1t is
not chance product. It has been
in the making since Napoleon, more
than 100 years ago, overreachedShi him
self when, conquered Prussia at his
feet, he laid down the seemingly hard
condition that the Prussian army
should never exceed $4,000 men.
But Prussian sagacity was more
than a match for Napoleonic genius.
1t met the condition by training 49,
900 men for a few months, discharg-
ing them back into civilian life and
calling another $4,000 recruits to the
service for another brief period of
military training.
This simple process Prussia repeat
ed again and again until it had prac-
tically a trained reserve of several
hundred thousand men. It's nominal
army never exceeded the stipulated
$4,000, but it's real army grew to
heroic proportions.
German Ehiciency's Birth.
That was the making of German
character. It led to the downfall OF
Napoleon the Great, bore fruitage

of Napoleon the Little and the wed

man power and efficiency.
National greatness is but an aggre-
gate of individual vigor and efficiency
and individual success is dependent
on health and discipline. Without
them nothing. Young men who have
them in high degree render high
service to the family, to the com
munity and the state. Boys that
lack them are the failures, the molly
coddles, the incorrigibles, the Grim
| inals.
A training system like that OF
Switzerland gives infinitely more to
the individual and the nation than 1t
exacts
Let us follow a Swiss boy through
the schools and into the training
camp. Early he is taught the ele-
mentary laws of health, correct gait
and carriage, attention to command
and cooperative action with his COM
rades.
Though this preliminary training
is not of a military nature, it fits
him admirably for the military in
struction that awaits him at 20. At
that age he is put to physical and
mental tests to determine his capac-
ity to serve his country.
1.-THE tests are comparatively
easy" says DR.. Henry Ferguson, 'but
of sufficient difficulty to exclude
ounces and weaklings whom the
confederation has no use for. The

The crops on the average will not

be any number of good fields, some of
which will yield around 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, according to present

from twelve to fifteen bushels per

Alice Nelson Page is dead. She was
one of North Dakota's finest women
and her many friends located through
out the state mourn the death of one
who was cut down in her prime.
Thrown upon her own resources few
years ago, with a son to educate and
care for, she entered the newspaper
field and for some years had charge of
the society columns of the Grand
Forks Herald. Later she became pub
Usher of the Devils Lake Inter Ocean
and few years ago established the
Page Printery at Grand Forks. This
plant in four years grew to be one of
the very best in North Dakota. A year
or two ago Mrs Page established the
Grand Forks Independent, a weekly
paper that sparkled with gems. She
was woman who did things. She took
great deal of interest in the wo-
mans suffrage fight in North Dakota
and was one of the lobbyists for the
cause at the last session of the legis-
lature. The state will feel the loss of
Alice Nelson Page most keenly.

Ray Dierdorf Has Narrow Escape.

Nay DleTuOTH has Narrow Escape.
While experimenting the unloading
of carload of Studebaker autos
Tuesday, Ray Dierdorff, of the Cham
pin Implement Co., had about as mar
row escape from instant death as it
would be possible to imagine. The
autos are loaded in the car in two
decks and the lower deck had been I'M
loaded and chain blocks being used on
one of the upper cars in letting it, to
the floor. The car was being lowered
and little more "beef" was necessary
on the end of the chain and Ray got
under the car and added the weight of
his,mighty frame to the capstan The
car had been lowered some three feet
when Ray decided that he was not in
the safest place imaginable and got
out from under the ear. On the very
next "yo-heave" that was applied to
the chain, it parted and allowed the
big touring car to drop a distance of
about four feet. Although unframed.
Ray is still shaking hands with him
self and was heard to remark, Never
again." One young man in the en-
ploy of the company, who was stand
ing at the rear Of the car, was struck
a glancing blow over the eye by the
folded top Of the car, a beautiful
black eye being the most serious re-
suit.
The accident proved to be splen-
did demonstration of the sturdiness of
the Studebaker. Although the car
fell four feet, thorough examination
failed to reveal an injury of any kind
to the mechanism.

James Whitcomb Riley, the great
Hoosier poet, died Saturday evening
from stroke of paralysis. He had
suffered from the heat and asking the
nurse for drink of water, she found
him dead when she returned with it.
The poet was stricken with paralysis
several years ago and since that time
he had written but little. He was
born in the middle west, sang the joys,
sorrows, fancies and humors of its
folks, in it's own dialect. He was one
of the few poets who in devoting his
life to writing poetry, gained a for
tune. He was sensitive concerning his
age, for he did not want to grow old.
It is believed that he was born in 184S.
If you asked him his age he would re-
ply, Somewhere this side of forty"
Among the great number of his popu-
lar poems, Little Orphan Annie"
probably stands out as the most popu-
lar with the children. Little Orphan
Annie was not product Of his mag
ination but she was real and today is
an old woman living near the old home
of the poet in Indiana.

Wheat at the time this is written
is selling for $1.13 on the local market
and the day before it sold for SLIT.
The chances are that this crop will be
an unusually high price this year as
there is tremendous shortage the
country over. The worlds wheat crop
for 1916 is estimated at great deal
less than the 1915 crop. Turnout
North Dakota the wheat crop will be
cut down to a great extent. While
there will be many good fields, the av-
erage will be rather low. One Of the
grain men estimates that in the
country south of Minot, the average
will be not more than eight bushels
unless we get good deal Of rain
right away, when the prospects would
be frightened about twenty per cent.
The wheat without question has been
hurt by the dry, hot weather, only
that which was put in under the most
favorable conditions, coming thru
without damage.
