TNHE President is taking a hand in the
l. war revenue question. He has let 1t
be known that he desires certain provi-
sions in the bill. The question seems to
be whether excess profit taxes shall be
levied according to the Treasury notion
whether ideas which members of the
Committee on Ways and Means have
evolved shall prevail.
There is little of Importance now tran
spring in Washington that does not attract
suggestions from the President. He seems
to invite the cooperation of the political
as well as the economic clements In one
instance his wishes were not wholly ac-
Ceded to. The President desired the Sena-
tor from Tennessee Mr.. Shields to vote
for woman suffrage, and made it very en-
barrassing for the Senator in the midst
of his campaign. The Senator, without
saying much more to the President than
that he would give due consideration" to
his suggestion, was fortunate enough to
| win out

Senator David Baird of New Jersey. was

ments. Baird may not be a speech making
Senator, but his vote on suffrage is going
to mean a great deal, and to have the

right in the midst of a ticklish political
situation in New Jersey, would have been
clever if intended for political purposes

GEORGE is fifteen and has just acquired
~ long trousers. Billy and Jack, the
twins, have great respect for their big
brother and are always interested in every
thing he does. Some time before they got
ready to go away this summer they became
very much excited by the announcement
that George was to learn to dance in order
to take his part in the weekly dances at
the seashore. Every night after dinner he
retired to his own room, and from behind
closed doors the twins were wont to hear
the bumps and bangs of his practicing as
he stumbled from the bed by way of the
long rocker of the chair over to tine win

month before the family left, and as the
time approached the time spent in re-

increased. Finally, just the night before
the trunks were packed, George startled
the family by remarking at the dinner
table: Dad. simply must have a pair Of
white ducks for those dances. Why, I
simply couldn't get out there on that floor
unless have them" Dad replied that he
would see, which of course meant that he
would buy. A few hours later as the twins
were preparing for bed Billy was hear1

N. P. FAILS TO LAND
(By United Press)

st. Paul, June 1S.-The National
Nonpartisan league failed to capture
the Republican party in yesterdays
primary. There is only the most re-
mote chance of Lindbergh being nom
mated and he is the only league can
didate that has even the slightest
chance Of winning.
All Republican incumbents, will be
renominated, but the country vote is
being watched closely so far as 1t
affects Lindbergh.
Fully 100000 votes are unreport-
ed and it is admitted many of them
are, from league strongholds.
Indications are that organized la
Dor voted for Burnquist, despite it's
expressed dissatisfaction with him.

Burnuuist Carries County.

Beltrami county was carried 10y
Burnquist by splendid vote, accord
ing to all indications~and the entire
Republican ticket looks to have
swept the county.
The returns are coming in solwly,
in fact are dragging, and it is i'm
possible thus early to compile an in
telligent standing Of the respective
candidates in Beltrami. First one
candidate seems to be coming along
satisfactorily in his direction, only
to switch as another precinct is re-
ceived.
Bemidii is Loval.
e, E. Mcdonald, candidate for
congressman from the Sixth district,
carried Bemidji by 396 as an en- ;
dorsement from his fellow towns
men. His opponent, Congressman
Knutson, swept St. Cloud, his home
city. It would seem that McDon-
AIDS lead would take him through
the county a winner Reports from
various points throughout the dis-i
trict received by Mr.. Mcdonald are
encouraging at this time.
Burnuuist Sweeps City.
Burnuuist carried every ward inJ
Bemidji with the exception of the
Fifth and the Republican candidates
ran with him, There were scarcely
any democratic votes to speak OF /
cast in Bemidji or the county.
The commissionership Of the town
of Liberty indicates that Yves Wright
will be the high man. Hayes, the
Socialist incumbent, seems to be !
badly beaten. This district furnish
ed an interesting situation during
the campaign in that it had five
starters, one an out and out Social |

Idea Of 6Iotting Paper Was the Direct
Result Of Act Of Careless
.t Workman.

Blotting paper, like many another
valuable discovery was found entirely
by accident. One day in a paper mill
in Berkshire, England, careless work.
man forgot to put in the sizing and 1t
was necessary to throw out the entire
lot as spoiled. Later the angry pro-
prietOr sat down to write note and
possibly for reasons Of economy used a
sheet Of the condemned paper. To his
increased annoyance the ink spread ali
over the paper and he was about to
give up in disgust when the thought
struck him that it might be possible to
use the paper for absorbing ink in
place Of the sand then universally used.
After some successful experimenting
he was able to dispose of his entire
damaged stock under the name of blot
ting paper.
From that time on blotting paper
came into general use. At first 1t was
always pink in color, red rags being
used. Red was fast color and diff
cult to bleach, hence the red rags were
useless in manufacturing writing pa
paper. But as the color of blotting pa
per did not interfere with it's useful
ness, red or pink was as good a color
as any other, and thus provided a
means of utilizing otherwise wasted
material.
