ocrat, II.
In the evening about two hundred
townspeople, including many ladies,

vile Military Band gave him a rousing
serenade. Mr.. Smalley welcomed the
visitors and in we'll chosen words thanked
his friends for their generous support.

cigars were passed. From there a large
delegation went to the office of States

THE ELECTION
LOOKS LIKE HUGHES. But IS
DOUBTFUL
Depends Upon the Vote of
California and Minnesota
Democrats Claim Wilson Is the
Winner

The election yesterday is a peculiar af
fair. First returns gave Hughes large
vote and the city papers OF all parties
conceded his election-giving him an elec-
toral vote of over 300. Late returns, how.
ever, have changed, this and at this time,
p. n., Wednesday, the result is in doubt
in fact it is said that all hinges on Cali
fornia-the returns from the several dis
tricts in that state coming in very slow,
first the Democrats claim it and then the
Republicans. 1t may take the official
count to say "Who's Who"
Late returns show that Hughes carries
Vermont by about 25O0O majority. The
Legislature as usual will be overwhelm-
ingly Republican.
Lamoille County makes a good show
ing for the Republican ticket-giving
Hughes $50 plurality.
For Governor Graham has 1928 plu-
rality and Page for q. S. Senator has
1477 plurality.
Hardwick elects ]. B. Hooper, Demo-
crat, as Representative.
St. Johnsbury elects Democratic Rep
resentative, Chas. Whitney.
Linus Leavens for State Senator has
plurality of 1925.
The Very Latest
A dispatch from the st. Albans Mes
senger at 3 o'clock says that Chair rman
of the Democratic National
Committee claims Wilson's elec ction-he
having 2SS electoral votes. He claims
the solid South and 1Sstates besides and
says lit is sweeping victory for the
Democracy"
The Republican National Committee
say the election is still in doubt-that if
the Republicans carry California and
Minnesota-which are very close, Hughes
is elected.
The Associated Press will make no
statement at this time, they are awaiting
the official count of the doubtful states. !
So there you have it, just as it is

HOW TO GROW ALFALFA.

Information Issued by the New York
State College of Agriculture.
Alfalfa will grow on almost any type
Of productive soil if it is we'll drained
and if it is not acid. Lime must be ap-
pied to at least three fourths Of the
cultivated soils Of New York if alfalfa
is to be grown successfully. Such are
the statements made in publication
entitled "Alfalfa In New York" re-
Gently issued by the New York State
College Of Agriculture.
In many cases soil must be inoculat-
ed with nitrogen gathering bacteria
for alfalfa, and this may be done in
either Of two ways, according to the
college. Soil may be procured from an
alfalfa field or a sweet clover patch
and applied at the rate of from 200 to
300 pounds an acre to the new field
just before sowing. This soil should
not be allowed to dry before it is ap-
piled. The other method of inocula-
ton is by means of cultures. which
may he obtained at cost either from
the United States department Of agri-
culture or from the State College Of
Agriculture at Cornell
Alfalfa should be cut when the new
growth from the base Of the plant is
from one to three inches high, regard
less Of whether the plant is in bloom
or not, so the college authorities state.
This new growth starts as the plants
reach maturity.
Care should be taken not to use al
falfa seed infested with dodder bod
der seeds may be removed. it is said.
by screening the seed in small guam
titles through Il 20 by 20 mesh sieve
made of No. 81 wire. Dodder infested
spots in an alfalfa field should be
closely moved. the Stubhle sprinkled
with kerosene. then covered with dry
hay and burned.

THE REST ROOM.

Several years ago the Woman's
Study club began the rest room in
Bemidji. Ever since that time the
urgent need of such a room has been
seen. The members of the study club
have each month solicited funds to
maintain the rest room and have had
to do much work. It is necessary
to raise nearly $500 a year for the
maintenance of the room.
Now the women who have so ably
carried on this work wish to retire
from the responsibilities of the Of
flee. They should be relieved by the
city of Bemidji. Other cities have
rest rooms and the cities take care
of them.
A rest room is of benefit to every
citizen.
Committees from the Commercial
club and the Merchants association
will meet with the city council at it's
next meeting.
Mr.. Citizen, do your part and at
tend this next meeting of the council
and urge upon them the necessity of
the city of Bemidji taking over the
organization of that worthy project
the rest room.

In ourshomessare many little chill
dren who know you, who have PASSED
you on the streets, who, perchance,
may have been greeted with kindly
smile or with a frown. They will
remember you.
But will they miss your. .
Even your faithful animals or pets

Will they miss you?
There is no place you may go, no
point of the compass to which you
may turn, but what people have
known you or will know you, and by
all of these you will be judged when
you have passed away
AS you shape your career in life,

Your family, your associates, your

WILL YOU BE MISSED?

Some of these days you, who are
reading this editorial, are going to
die and pass on to your reward
whatever that reward may be.
But will you leave void behind?
Will you be missed?
The Creator has ordained that man
must carve out his own career in this
world, and when he journeys to the
great unknown he leaves behind him
a record founded upon his own acts.
You may leave behind you a wife,
or children, or other dependents. AS
you deal by them in life, so will their
grief be gagged and tempered at
your death.
Will they miss you?
In this city you have, friends, and
business associates, and perhaps many
acquaintance. They know you as
you are, as you have been for these
many years. They have judged you
living, and they will judge you dead.
Will they miss you?
In the banks, and the stores, and
the offices, and out upon the farms
are people who have known you in
the past and who know you today.
AS you have been, so are you known
to them now.
Will they miss you?

THE BEMIDJI BAND,

The Bemidji band is a musical Or
ganizatiOn Of which any city, no mat
ter how large or how small, might
feel justly proud. There is no doubt
but that the citizens of Bemidji do
feel proud Of the organization but
that organization is not getting the
support that it should.
It takes more than appreciation to
keep the band organization up to
what it ought to be and if means are
not provided to pay the expenses, the
chances are that Bemidji will not
have band.
The band is at present badly in
need of money. Since May first only
$500 has been subscribed to pay the
expenses. Business men agreed to
pay sos per month for the upkeep
of the organization. The band went
to the state fair and since returning
has not secured any money except
the proceeds from dances and enter
tainments.
In a few months the band will re-
ceive money from the city taxes
However, between now and the time
that the tax money is received it is
necessary to raise funds.
The band will have a collector
visit those who have subscribed in
few days and it is urged that every
one who has subscribed, pay imme-
diately.
Next Friday evening the band will
give a masquerade ball. Every cit
izen, whether he attends or not,
should buy ticket for this ball.

Kidney Pills on hand and always get
the best of results when we take
them. Some time ago Doan's Kid
ney Pills relieved me of backache,
headaches and dizzy spells and great
ly strengthened my kidneys. They
also toned up my system. One other
