Gnoms. It was = bubbIsI But the

bubble up in the air. across the
meadow, above the little brook,
over the castle roof and the big
black forest until II finally settled
on the top of the great mountain
which rose above q line of misty
clouds into the clear. bright sun
light. Before Puss could ask how
they were ever to get cut Of their
bubble balloon the GnomS opened
u little door. through which he
led PusS safely to the outer air.
There was = great change In the
temperature, or else the Inside Of
the bubble was very warm. for PuHs
began to shiyer.
"Who-oI" he exclaimed It's
cold"

thought. when the snow and ice
hung from its caves. The giants
beard and mustache were festooned
with little thin sliyers of ice. and
his shoulders had epaulets of frozen
snow. The cuffs of his greAtcoat
were fringed with sharp needles of
ice. and altogether he was q star
Ting and frigid looking Individual
In his hands he held a monstrouS
bellows. from which at intervals
he would force out a blast OF cold,
icy air. which scattered the snow
about in whirling clouds as II went
bowling down the rocky ravines OF
the mountain.
He's the Wind Man Of the
Mountain" explained the Gnome to
shiverinR Puss. whose toes and nm
gers by this time were getting quite
numb with the cold.
well, I'd like to meet a hot air

toes to keep them from freezing.

With the installing of the machin-
cry ordered for the new Bemidji Po-
tato Flour Manufacturing Co., the de-
partment Of agriculture at Washing
ton will send a committee to inspect
the new plant when running.
This is information received today
from H. e. Gubalka Of Minneapolis.

The coming of the committee will
be to inspect the workings Of the
new concern, which will be second
of it's kind in the entire United States,
as the government desires to get d
line on it with regard to it's place in
the war
A few days ago letters were sent
out to several wholesalers, asking the
prospects Of handling the potato flour
from the Bemidji plant. Every reply
received was favorable and one
wholesaler said he was ready to order
from 10000 to 10000 pounds Of po-
tato flour whenever it was available,
as his initial order.

Use OF COTTAGE CHEESE
BEING URGED BY FOOD
ADMINISTRATION EXPERT

Cheer up! Look who's here. Mel
son, the cheeseman. And the strange
part of his visit is that he is come
as representative of the federal
food administration to assist the good
people of this part of the state In
keeping the wrinkles out Of the front
part of their backs.
Nelson is N. l.. Nelson OF Minne-
apolis. He is young man who has
been in Washington, working for the
national food administration, and his
mission is the promotion of the use OF
cottage cheese, with reference to help
ing the farmers and the consumers of
the cities, towns and villages.
Mr.. Nelson is making an endeavor
to interest the farmers into making
cottage cheese for local markets. The
food administration is advocating the
use of cottage cheese as a palatable
and prime food factor, and arrange
ments will be made to secure dealer
in Bemidji to handle cottage cheese
supplied by the food administration
and at the same time not be OF the
variety that looks and tastes like a
plate of jackpine sawdust. Mr.. Nell
son will be in Bemidji and vicinity
several days and will endeavor to i'm
press upon householders the benefits
Of cottage cheese as portion Of their
daily menus.

BOYS in HOSPITALS

London, Aug. 16. "More home news
papers is the appeal continually
made to the library committee of the
American Red Cross by American SOL
diers in hospitals in Great Britain:
The library committee is at pres
ent furnishing reading matter for
more than $4,000 men month, both
in hospitals and In camps. The COM
|mittee has it's headquarters in build
ing at IA Pail Mall East, London,
where it.keeps on hand at all times
about rs, 900 books and large sup
ply of magazines and newspapers.
The books are either gifts or are
purchased in London. In it's, pur-
chases, the committee restricts itself
almost entirely to cheap popular edi-
.tions, costing from fifteen to thirty
cents a volume "Our reason for do
ing this" says a committee report, I"
is that we get most for our money
in this way. The books inevitably
get hard usage, and some of them,
used in the hospitals, must be de-
stroyed almost Immediately, owing to
the danger Of infection. Altogether,
the life of those books is exceedingly
short, and cheap editions, bound in
paper or light cloth, are undoubtedly
the most serviceable and economical.
1--WE have made no attempt to i'm
port books from America, because we
realize that at the present time ton
mage is needed in more essential di-
rections. AS to the class Of reading
matter selected, we leave it mainly
to the demands Of the men, and they
ask principally for fiction, and light
fiction at that. Where we are supply
ing more or less permanent libraries
for hospital staffs or for American
naval stations, we try to give an all
around tone to the collection Of
books, including classics, essays,
poetry, biography and scientific
works, but still for the greater part,
fiction. .-.,.f L. u
"The magazines and newspapers
must of necessity come from America.
It is our experience that this class Of
literature gives greater satisfaction
to the men than books. Their cry
is continually for more of the home
newspapers. .r..

MCDONALD IS REELECTED
FOR NINETEENTH TIME

e. e. Mcdonald has returned from
Faribault where he attended the an
nual meeting Of the state bar assoc1a-
ton, at which he was reelected
member of the board Of governors for
the nineteenth time. When he en-
deavored to withdraw and have some
one else elected his request was re-
fused and back he went on the board
again.
This was the convention which ex-
pelled from it's ranks Albert Pfaender,
of New Ulm disloyalty fame, and
Jim" Peterson, convicted Of disloy-
atty in a federal court. The asso-
citation held that although Pfaender
had made so-called loyalty speeche es
elsewhere, he had never opened his
mouth to make one in New Ulm, and
the camouflage didn't work.
The officers elected by the assocla-
ton were: President, L. J.. Brown,
Winona; vice president, Albert Allen,
Fairmont; secretary, Charles l.. Cald-
we'll, st. Paul; treasurer, j. M. Brad
ford, st. Paul.

Y LONDON, Aug. 4. .tBy Mail. y
One Of the earliest forms of war
activity undertaken by the American
Red Cross in Great Britain, was the
manufacture of surgical dressings
and other hospital requirements.
From modest beginnings this. work
has increased until it now employs
more than 1000 workers in 80 bran
ches throughout Great Britain. The
monthly output of these workshops
averages 100000 separate articles
per month, and the output has re-
Gently risen to nearly twice that
total. s.-.... 4s-.. ...
The center of this activity is in a
large building at Sc Grosvenor Gar
dens, adjoining the administra tion
offices of the American Red Cross
Fifteen rooms in the building are
devoted to various branches of this
work, which is in charge Of Mrs. H.
s. Waite as chairman. All the rooms
occupied in the manufacture Of sur
gical dressings are large, light and
airy, and the most modern appliances
are at the disposal of the workers.
At this central station $50 workers
are employed of whom ESQ are VOL
unteers while 100 are paid mod
crate allowance. The paid workers
are all women who have suffered
financially owing to the war, and
to whom the small payments given
them by the Red Cross are a great
,tboon.
The out-work branches in various
parts of England are mostly. under
British administration, but the Amer
lean Red Cross furnishes all the ma
terials and patterns, which are sent
out in large hampers. Fifty hampers
are in constant circulation for, this
purpose. The supplies, when gath

COAL CARRYING ORDER
RESCINDED in DULUTH

Minneapolis, Aug. 16.-J. F. Nc
Gee, state fuel administrator has res
cinded his recent order relative to
carrying Of coal, insofar as the order
relates to Duluth,
Retail coal dealers Of that city
canvassed the local situation and
proved, satisfactorily, that the labor
supply in their city was such as to
permit exclusion Of Duluth from the
order.
The latter prohibits coal compa-
nies or any of their employers deliv-
ering to the bin any coal that could
not be unloaded from wagons to the
bin. It's result has been to force un-
loading of coal on lawns, from where
the purchaser provides his own car
rier to the bin.
