Five thousand dollars for the best five bushels of wheat, any va riety, grown in the American Northwest is the prize announced as the grand champion sweepstakes to be awarded at the North' western Products Exposition, to be held in Minneapolis Novem ber 12 to 23. This is the world's greatest prize for wheat twice as large as any prize ever offered in Canadajive times as much as any prize ever offered for any class of grain in the United States. Announcement of this award has just been made by the North west Development League, under the auspices of which organiza tion the seven states give the products exposition. The states included in the American Northwest, as represented by the league, are Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. o SEE AMERICA FIRST. Breathes there the man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said 'This is my own, my native land?" Probably not, but can there beanything less patriotic for men and women who affect pride in their country and its free in stitutions than that they should remain blind to and ignorant of the innumerable picturesque spots world-famed wonders of na ture, health resorts, mineral springs, magnificent mountain, lake and river scenery and unrivaled sea beaches w hich are to be seen east, west, north and south within the borders of their own United States? - Yet there are scores ff thousands of men and women who call themselves good Americans, who would resent any imputation that they lack love of country, yet who have never taken the trouble to explore beyond a radius of one or two hundred miles of their own homes, but who seek across the seas in Europe, Asia and Africa delights for the eye and the mind which are literally at their feet in their own bind. "See America First," is familiar advice, known rather in the breach than in the obseryance.yet if it were heeded as it should be millions would enjoy the blessings of travel and change of scene and have their hearts stirred and their minds refreshed by wonders and beauties for more entrancing than those offered by France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, England, Egypt and Syria combined. Not only that, but the millions of Americans devoting their leisure months and weeks to making the acquaintance of their own country would escape the deadly perils of ocean voyaging, and save untold sums now lavished foolishly in the attempts to satisfy insatiable European hotel keepers, couriers, guides and lazaroni. The Alps, the Rhine, the English lakes, the Scotch Highlands have their beauties, but they are infinitely surpassed in majesty, wonder, picturesqueness and variety of attraction by the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Yellowstone Park, with its geysers, boiling springs, wondrous crater formations jnd its profusion of game, the Yosemite valley, the mountains and lakes of Alaska, the Glacier National Park in Montana, the Pike's Peak district, the Adirondacks, the Hudson river, Redondo Beach, the Golden Gate, Palm Beach, Atlantic City, the cliffs of Maine and a thousand other American beauty snots. In half the time taken by a fast steamer in crossing the Atlant ic, and w ith practically no risk of life or limb, the American tour ist in search of health, recreation and the delight to be found in Kcenes of wonder and beauty may take a luxurious train on the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Southern Pacific or any other of a score of the other great railroads, and have an 'open seasame" to the wonders offered to the traveler in California, Colorado, Montana, Arkan sas Utah, Nevada, and. greater than all, in our own Oregon. Carl.sbad, Baden-Baden and other renowned spas in Europe are surpassed in attraction and health restoring qualities by Colorado Springs, the Hot Springs and French Lick, which are much easier of access, and, besides, are our own possessions. 'See America First" is. the new gospel of health and happiness for Americans to believe in and practice in their days, weeks and months at leisure. o LANDS THAT ARE UNKNOWN. Lying within the basin of the head waters of the Amazon riv er in Western Brazil are three regions which are much larger in area than all the New England states, which are still outside the rale of knowledge. This large territory lies between the parallels of 10 degrees smith latitude and 5 degrees north latitude and the meridians 0 60 degrees and 73 degrees west longitude. Not a country of South America has been accurately defined and fully explored. The great difficulties with which the scientists must contend In mapping this continent in the equatorial regions account for the large areas still uncharted. It is the hardest section in the world to penetrate. Dense forests, a deadly .climate including the worst scourges of disease, as yellow fever, cholera, beriberi, etc., the fierce wild beasts, poisonous serpents and savage trills are some of the ob stacles to be encountered in penetrating the Amazon country. The entire central portion of Australia is an unknown tract, pave for a direct line in which the trasncontinental telegraph system has been laid. .- 1 , The greatest difficulty was encountered in stretching the wires nrnm the desert waste, and the mnll strip thus opened up is all that is known of the heart of the island continent. It is supposed to be a vast sandy plain, interspersed here and thee with salt lakes to vary the horrible monotony. Hundreds of daring men have tried to penetrate its mvsteries, an most, of them have raid for their temeritv with their lives. Then there is the 'Never-Never" land in Western Queensland, into which many have gone and few have returned. In the south of the country, extending for hundreds of miles inland from the great Australian bight, is a terra incognito, the extent and nature of which can only be surmised.

For the purpose of waking Alder man Lafky from what he declared to be "a Rip Van Winkle sleep" Mayor LaehinuDd last night at the close of the city council meeting made Alder man Townsend associate to the street committee, with Instruction that he "place a stick of dynvmiie" under the chairman of the street committee with relation to the Lincoln street improvement. The subject came up Just alter the mayor had sat for a half an hour and listened to an ordinance asking for a franchise for the Welch UDe, and which he declared it would "take a Philadelphia lawyer to decipher and himself a month to veto." Rising majestically at his desk. Alderman Townsend emitted the remark that if It took proportionally as long to act on this franchise as the Lincoln street improvement. It would take a year. Then it was that the mayor began to inquire of Lafky whether he bad succumbed to a "Rip Van Winkle sleep." The Alderman explained that there was a difference of opinion among the property owners as to the width of the pavement Xiayor Lach mund came back rftb appointing Townsend as associate, with the committee and with instructions "to place a stick of dynamite under Laf ky" should it be necessary. The council last night passed an ordinance fixing the salaries of the members of the fire department and Robert Moot: Ivan TVood and E., C. Churchill were regularly elected to the "deparaent t A favorable report was made upon the improvement of Division street, and the engineer was instructed to draw plans for the improvement A remonstrance was presented with regard to the Improvement of North Twenty-First street and re ferred to the street committee. A resolution was passed providing for the paving of Twelfth from Court to Marion. The firm of McXary k McN'ary sub mitted a bill of 1730 for legal ser vices in connection with suits per taining to the city. A bill authorizing the sale of im provement bonds amounting to $11, 193 18 was passed, and bids will be opened Monday evening. An ordinance providing for the opening of Elm avenue was referred to the street committee. Cat lit Criminal tal Cfssbi ;!f ft lull 1 rip 0 1 1 0 ALT ED LULU The Fca J-drlni Isr A3 If is.

To keep the face clean, fresh, youthful, there's nothing better than common mercolixed wax. It ab sorbs the soiled or faded worn out skin particles. Using cosmetics sim ply adds cnwhclesonienesa to the complexion. Thafs the difference. By all means, acquire the mercollzed wax habit. It's so easy to get an ounce of the wax at the druggist's, apply at night like cold cream and wash it off next morning. There's no detention indoors, the old skin com ing off so gradually no one suspects you're using anything. When in a week or two the alluringly youthful, roselike underskin is fully in view well, you won't want, or need, a make-up complexion after that For obstinate wrinkles, a face bath made by dissolving an ounce of saxo lite in a half pint witch haiel, sur passes massage cream for results.

XIMari School OnirUI Behind Plan te Make (oed Spellers. Jefferson City, Mo. Spelling, so I greatly neglected among the youth of (the present generation. Is coming back to Its own in the Missouri j schools In every county in the state ; the best spellers are being groomed for a contest which is to be held in this city In May, when the county su perintendents will hold their annual convention. The counties will pay the expenses of their representatives of which each is entitled to one, and the winner will get $100, while other prliee will be gived to the cshildren who come second and third. The movement had Its beginning at the meeting last year of the county superintendents. There was general complaint that the youth of the day could not spell, and a decision that something should be dotie to prevent something worse than the old simpli fied Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie, The result was the organization of the state-wide bee. All this winter there has been com petition among the pupils In the schools throughout the state. There have been spelling bees In the lesser schools, then In the townships, then In the counties and the competition has become keen. These contests have proved that some such move ment was badly needed but have also shown that the art of spelling has not be;n lost altogether.

Captain Scott's equipment in cludes 20 ponies and 34 dogs, and one or twp Ice automobiles, giving hltn with his four different kinds of tractive power for dragging his sledges. But the number of bis dogs is comparatively few. Captain Amundsen lost 36 of his, or six more than Captain Scott took. The Brit ish seem to have pet their main reli ance on their ponies and motors, and i in this, while' I may be mistaken, I jfeel both on general principles and i from study of Shackleton's experi ences, that they may be handicapped.
