TWENTIETH CENTURY,
Recollections


After three fire hose statesmen had
spent approxim ately forty minutes
explaining the merits of their various
kinds of hose to the city council
Monday night, Alderman Bridgeman
reused himself from peaceful slum-
,bers" and inquired of a brother al
derman if he had heard all .'that talk
about tires" 1t must be hard to get
over the idea that the bids for the
pneumatic tires for the fire truck
were all rejected some time ago. And
then we would call that a pretty hard
slam on the hose statesmen.
ALL Hose Is Not Fire Hose
Doing It Voluntarily
According to an ordinance passed
Monday night by the council, it will
soon go pretty hard with guy that
tarily. Some poor Gus who may be
one Of the first to appear before the
judge. is apt to try to prove that he
was "forced'' to get drunk.
Force of Habit
Sounds Better Now
While sitting with the city council
Monday night, it began to appear to
us that it would soon be necessary
for some of ''the boys" to form a
society" or something similar in or
der to get a drink after 1 o'clock
even soft drink. But some amend
ments sure are a big help.
How About the Eighteenth
Close the Gates
According to the way some of the
city councilmen talk about making
Bemidji 12-o'clocl, town, we might
suggest that they would like to have a
fence erected around the whole city
and "close the bars at midnight"
Some OF them even get sleepy be-
fore the council meeting is over, but
we don't blame them for that.
Most Anyone Would
A Dirty Job
Use of one-third of the street has
been granted number of contrac-
tors while making repairs on down.
town buildings. A few complaints
have already been heard because they
happen to be using a portion of the
sidewalk also. One party, in an at
tempt to defend the contractors for
this action, is known to have said
why, you can't expect them to throw
the dirt clean out to the street." He's
Wrong--you can expect them, but
that's all. Still, it might be different
if it was clean dirt. You might be
able to throw it clean out to the street
then.

A Chance for Girla

A citizen Of Minneapolis has hit
upon scheme to get away from the
high cost of railway rates. He has a
son in Buffalo and wants to get him
to Minneapolis. He is trying to have
him shipped by mail, stamping him at
Buffalo and cancelling the stamps at
destination. If this proves a success,
Uncle Sam is liable to have to in
crease his postal facilities.
According to the present postal
laws, the only ''live goods" that NAV
be shipped by mail are day-old chicks
and queen bees. Some chance for

FIGHTING PELLAaRA.

There are times when we must give our thought and attention to conditions at home as well as abroad and such ap- pears to be the case now from the statement which has been made by Pres ident Harding in calling to the attention of the public health service and the Red Cross the danger that threatens from the prevalence of pellagra in the south.
 When it is declared that the health, and possibly the lives of 100000 in this country are menaced by this disease 1t furnishes excellent reason on the health ground for carrying on a more active fight against this disease. But while there is a menace to the health there is also a serious reduction of the produc- ing capacity of these people and natural ly the attendant conditions give good cause for alarm and justify the urging of more determined measures for the treatment and eradication of this plague.
 Pellagra is a shin affection about the cause of which there is said to be none too great certainty. While there is one theory to the effect that it comes from eating Indian corn as food after it has become moldy there is another to the effect that it comes from microbes intre= duced by the bites of insects such as sandfies. There is much to support the latter theory in view of the fact that the disease prevails where the eating of corn is almost unknegn, and in this country the sandf1ies are abundant iD the pellagra territory, even though corn is extensively eaten.
 But regardless ox what may be the cause Of the disease there are sufficient reasons why it should be subdued as rapidly as possible. Likewise proper at tention should be devoted to the clain that the people of that section and those afflicted are half starved, whether that happens to be a contributing factor ir the spread of the disease or not. sucf conditions are to be regarded in the line of disaster and equally effective measures should be taken to bring the much needed relief.

PIENTY OF FISH

Now that we are hearing so much of the rapidly approaching end of ahe earth's coal supply, the earth's oil sup ply and various other supplies, 1t is comforting to know that at least one of the great food factors is safe-fish.
 Even the intensive fishing that was carried on around Britain's coasts in pre-Rar days made no impression on the oceans boundless store. Some years ago the Board of Agriculture, as they call the authorities that look after the fishing interests of the Old Country, tested the extent of the fishing op- erations in the North Sea. Bottles were set adrift and 1t was found that over half of them were captured. Marked fish were next tried and gave almost similar results. This seemed to indiczte a rather poor outlook for the fish, bnk such is the productive capacity Of the female fish, there is no danger of even such vigorous fishing having any seri- ous effect.

oBREGoN,s POSITION.

It cannot fail to be a bit disconcert- ing to President Obregon of Mexico when the house of deputies turned down his proposition after it had been favor ably acted upon by the senate. Either this indicates a distrust of Obregon or else it means an unwillngness to dele gate such authority as he sought to ob- tain.
 Just what tke house of deputies meant by the declAra, ion that the adjustment of article 27 Of the Mexican Constitu- ton would be considered in due course of time" will be disclosed by subsequent action. President obregon is thorough ly cognizant of the fact that the quicker this matter can be adjusted the quicker will there be an opportunity for bringing about a better understanding between his country and the United States Be- cause of the belief that congress would not reach this matter before adjourn ment Obregon had sought to hasten mat ters by getting the authority to act. Such may have been regarded as a bit unusual but apparently the Mexican congress as far as the house of deputies is concerned assumes a defiant attitude and lets it be understood that they will take mp this matter when they get ready. That of course doesn't help the Mexican situa- tion for Mexico must realize that this country is not going to recognize that government until an understanding has been reached regarding the safeguarding of American rights and interests as af- fected by this particular article 27.
 obregon must be given credit for ap- parently seeing the need of early action Every delay increases the uncertainty for his government and when his request is turned down there seems to be eer. tain lack of confidence that cannot be pleasing to the executive or indicate the much desired sharmony between the exc, cutive and the deputies. If, however, the dep lties are unwilling to entrust obre,
 gon with such adjustments they khould realize the importance of giving the ear. Hest possible attention to it themselves
 The duty involved should be met ant not delayed

THE PRESIDENTS PRoPosALs.

President Harding in his message to congress wherein he presented a plan for the extension of needed relief to the railroads seeks to accomplish the elini- nation of that uncertainty that prevails at present and give the railroads a chance to get the benefit of what is due them and permit them to see the way 10 enter the market for the purchase of supplies and material.
 The suggestion that this be brought about through the war finance board means as the president points out no add d investment by the government at this time and no demand that will fall back 1pon the taxpayer. It has been fully re- slized for a considerable time that there ls a considerable sum that is owed the railroads by the government as the re- suit of the period of government opera tion of the roads. As an offset to this there is a good sized amount owed the government by the railroads for the money advanced to secure additional equipment. Just what these sums are is not definitely established so that 1t can be told what the balance is that the gov srnment owes to the roads but it is be-
 
 lieved that 1t amounts to something like 9 half billion.
 Making such adjustments is a slow process since it is being carefully and thoroughly done. But inas;nuch as it Is recognized that the roads are entitled to this money and it is known that they need it for the purpose of giving the country the transportation service it re- auires it is a sensible proposition that an apnrnximate sum he advanced now and be made subject to the corrected adjustment as soon as that can be ae- somplished The double benefit of help ing the roads and the country at the same time can be effected
 In addition attention must of necessity De given to the pEesident's suggestion hat the same war finance corporation night be expanded so as to give help is the agricultural and live stock, inter- ssts. IL is possible that such might se solution of the proposal now being savooated as the Norris bill. The pres, dents suggestions are bound to be weighed carefully

PR0MPF FULFHLMENr.

Only those who took such a strong stand against the economy that was sailed for in the reduction of the sfanding army of the country will be sgrprised at the assertion which has sesn made by Secretary Weeks to the sffsct that by the end of July, next Sun day the reorganization of the army will nave been accomplished. That means that there has been done within the pe- rio5 Of a few weeks what it was possi- ole under the provisions of the bill to have strung along for three months, since the reduction to 150,o00 men was ordsLed by October.
 Secretary Weeks nevertheless set to york on the job and with the aid of his expert assistants has done the job as leqpirAd Within month it has been found that there we're enough in the army who wanted to get out, and who would not think of holding the govern nent to the contract Of keeping them shere for the full enlistment period, to s1t the number down to the fixed quota ,wo months ahead of time allowed.
 Finding so many men who were anx- .ous to have their connection with the army terminated causes no surprise There are always those who are anxious aO get out in less time than their enlist nent calls for and now it is fully real ized that the war is over and much of he excitement that might otherwise be expected Is no longer scheduled. Thus she trouble that had been predicted by hose opposed to the army cut amount d to nothing and there is going to De aa lppreciable saving effected in pay from he putting into effect of the reduction shis month instead of having it string along until October.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips,
 Copyrighted 1921 NARROW SHOULDERS

And what in the world. you ask, have narrow shoulders to do with the character of a man or woman?
 Well, it's true that the shoulders didn't make the Character, nor the char aeter the shoulders. And it's also true that the width of the shoulders, con gidered by itself, is as big an indication as, for Instance, a bulging brow. NeY- erpaeless, the width of the shuolders is an inheritance from the same source from which the owner got his or her ten dencies of .character and in connection with other physical signs it has real sig nihcence. Statistics prove it.

Children and Their Books. By James
 Hosmer Penniman Lit, D. Cloth, 45
 pages Published by c. W. Bardeen,
 Syracuse, N. Y.
 This book is by graduate of the Norwich Free Academy now located in Philadelphia. MT. Penniman holds that great waste of the ohild's time and men tai energy in the precious early years is caused by disregard of the way in which his mind unfolds and he maintains that the first aim should be to develop their powers and cultivate the ability to use them instead of trying to crowd their minds with knowledge. There should be cultivation of the imagination and as they grow older they should be taught to draw on their own conclusions from con fiicting statements. Children make then first aequaintance with books from pie lures and the child learns from his read ing what kind of a world lie lives in. and when carefully directed reading may be made to cultivate common sense, self reliance, initisttyg, enthusiasm and ability to turn ones mental and physi- cal capital to the best advantage. The child's reading should be constructive rather than destructive.
