SOME FAGTS ON THE ART OF WEARING JEWELRY Discussion of Real Art of Wearing Jew- elry.—Hints on the Proper Care of Jewelry. Every woman who Wears jewels should know how to put them on, and should also learn how to choose gems that are becoming to her style of beauty and coloring of complex- ion. : On dull-eyed days a woman should realize that her orbs will look duller still should she put diamonds in her ears, and the woman with a sad, pale face should know that her com- plexion will look livid should she wear pearls. Diamonds are really becoming to very few women. There are brunettes who can wear them in the ears and look well. The very pale blonde also looks pretty with diamonds in her ears, but the aver- age woman should wear her dia- monds elsewhere. There are some beauties who always wear topaz and other yellow stones; they do not venture to wear brilliant colors. They make a spec- ialty of all the sbades of yellow, from amber to the pale shades of {tortoise shell and gold, but they never put on either coral or blue. She Loves Amber. The amber-loving woman is of the cream type of complexion. Her skin is perfectly clear and her cheeks show a faint red. There is the topaz beauty, also, whose skin is creamy, with almost a touch of olive in it. This women knows that she looks lovely with rubies in her ears, and that pearls are not for her. Lucky is the woman who can wear coral, but she must be young. A coral-skinned beauty’s cheeks must be kept as bright as the red- dest coral, with shadings of delicate pink. The belles of old Rome knew the secret. They use pumice stone upon the skin untilit was perfectly smooth. The pumice, finely powdered was slightly moistened and rubbed upon the neck and arms, which were polished until they were as fine as'silk and as smooth as glass. A liberal diet of pomegranates finished the work of creating a good com- plextion. It is a good plan to rub the cheeks with a rough towel, to massage them with good creams, to use plenty of water, and not to forget the milk bath occasionally for the face. These are a few items for the woman with coral colored cheeks to re- member. She will preserve her rose tints and her beads will be be- coming to her. Turquoises Are Difficult. Turquoises are difficult to wear to advantage. The stones bring out the pallor of the complexion.

That Beltrami county is especially adapted to stock raising has been contended by well-informed persons who have raised cattle, and an incident occurred today which was ample proof that stock raising isa profitable avocation in this "com- munity. William Strelow, who lives near Puposky, about fifteen miles north- west of Bemidji, a few days ago, killed a 10-months-old heifer, which was a splendid beef critter. The animal, when dressed, weighed 320 pounds. The meat, which was sold at Puposky, brought over $18. The hide was sold to a Bemidji merchant today and Mr. Strelow realized $5.40 therefrom. This animal was fed on the nutritive grasses and roots of the cut-over lands of Beltrami county, with a result that was indeed gratify- ing. W. B. McLachlan Starts lce Rink. W. B. McLachlin, who owns the large launch, “North Star,” on Lake Bemidji, has prepared an excellent skating rink on the ice at the end of Third street, between the city dock and the boat house, will hold his grand opening tomorrow afternoon, The rink is about 100 yards long by sixty yards wide and the ice is of unusually smooth quality, As Mr. McLachlin has made the price of admission only five and ten cents, there will doubtless be a large crowd to take -advantage of this winter | pastime. Mr. McLachlin has provided a comfortable house for the skaters to keep warm and to check their skates or other articles of which they may wish to be temporarily relieved. It is the intention of the present man- agement to do everything in their power to make the place an attrac- tion to the lovers of good skating.

GETGHELL RE-ASSESSED TOWNS ON WHITE EARTH State Tax Commission Employed Be- midji Man as Special Estimater. —Did Good Work. The Detroit Record says of the work of Bert Getchell of Bemidji, who has been engaged of late re- asses seven townships of unorgan- ized torritory in the White Earth Indian reservation: “On Tuesday Special Assessor Bert Getchell turned in his report regarding the re-assessment of the seven t{ownships of unorganized territory in the White Earth Indian reservation, known as Assessment District No. 2. It| will be remembered that Mr. Get- chell was appointed to do this work by the tax commision at the recom- mendation of the county board, the latter body being greatly dissatisfied with the valuation placed upon these lands by the regularly ap- pointed assesor. *“This land, as stated-in a former issue of this paper, consists chiefly shining blue, looks well with tur-|of valuable timber and the former quoises near it. The black-eyed woman and the woman with brownish eyes should not try to wear them, for the stones are too bright. The woman with turquoise eyes can wear a string of blue beads round her neck most advantageously and can put torquoise in her ears. She can adorn her gown with blue stone ornaments and can wear blue em- broideries. But she must keep to the color of her eyes. Nothing is as becoming in a color worn any- where. near the face as one that matches that of the eyes. valuation of $327,788 was considered ridiculously low by those who were in a position to know the actual market value of the timber. Mr. Getchell places a valuation of $956,- 364 on the real estate included in the tract mentioned, almost three times tke valuation of his predeces- sor or an increase of $631,847 in taxable valuation. “On the personal property of the tract Mr. Getchell places a valuation of $4,299 as compared with $4,319 set by his predecessor, a decrease uf $20 under that of the regular| Our line corsists of the very latest | assessor. designs and we have something suitable for every style of beauty.

BAD VISION OF REFEREE GAVE VISITORS THE GAME “‘Big Bemidg™ Lost Last Night's Contest to Superior Nor- mal, Visiting Referee Claiming He Did Not See the Locals Make the Field Basket. The following will be the line-up of tonight’s game: “Big Bemidg”—Markham, Heffron and Geil forwards; Brown, center; Peterson and Bid- dinger, guards. Superior—Lemieux and Ryan, Clarke, center; Johnson and Currie, guards. [The officials of the “Big Bemidg” team have protested the decision given by the visit- ing referee last evening, whereby the locals were deprived of the game; and the protest will be sent tothe New Yerk authority on basketball for a decision.] By a questionable decision by Referee Gxegory (a member of the visiting team) “Big Bemidg” basket- ball team was deprived of a well- earned victory, last night, in the first of a series of two games scheduled for the local skating rink between the Superior Normal five and the locals. The decision came near end of second half, near the close of the game, when by a score of 9 to 7. Heffron was taking the ball down the hall and was within a few feet of the visitor’s goal, when Referee| .| bad been forwards; | “Big Bemidg” lead | Gregory imagined to detect a foul and blew his whistle when the ball cleverly passed from Heffion to Markham who threw a splendid field basket, the ball being securely in the basket, before he blew his whistle. A dispute arose and the captains of the two teams, Geil and Ryan, argued with the referree, who at first allowed the basket (giving Bemidji |two scores) and than, at the | threatened command of the captain of his own team, Gregory changed | his decision and would not give the two scores to Bemidji. Gregory claimed he did not see the ball in the basket, although it remained there two or three minutes jafter being lodged. He based his decision not allowing the two scores on the claim that he did not see the ball in the basket, dispite the fact that Ruh, who acted as umpire, decided that the basket had been | fairly made. The decision took considerable Continued on page two. _— Hand Sleds. 100 hand sleds will be sold at bargain prices. We will save you nearly one half the price of a sled .
