EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL “Boofiter," in His Usual Weekly Letter, Tells of the Hap- penings Among the Scholars.—Much Interest Shown in Educational Work. Don'’t forget the baseball game Saturday afternoon. The civics class had the pleasure of visiting court last Thursday morning. Amanda Klein has returned to school after an absence of several weeks on account of illness. The pupils of Misses Nelson’s and Hanson’s grades are taking great interest in raphia work. The members of the Girls’ Glee Club have received their pins. The emblems are of gold,and haveB. G. C, engraved upon them. They are very pretty. , Professor Biddinger has arranged a system by which each of the mem- bers of his short-hand class will be able to visit court and take notes. The baseball boys gave a dance Saturday night' in honor of the Brainerd boys. The event was well attended and proved a great success. The Brainerd baseball team had several of last year’s football stars in its lineup, among them being Parker, captain and catcher, and Alderman pitcher. The Senior-Sophomore hoys feel sure that they will be able to land the local high school baseball championship. After. last Thursday’s contest, it looks as though their opinion is well founded. The much-talked-of Junior Ball will take place Friday evening at the City Hall. The invitations have been sent out, and all those re- ceiving them should not fail to at- tend, as a good time is assured to everybody. Mr. Brinkman, of the Brinkman Family Theater, has offered to ad- vertise the high school baseball games in his theater, free of charge. This is certainly good of ‘‘Fred” and is greatly appreciated by the boys. Mr. Brinkman has always been a good supporter of the high school. Bemidji will play’ its second im- portant game of the season Saturday afternoon, when they meet the fast Fosston team at the down-town park. This game was to have been played two weeks ago, but on ac- count of the weather conditions the contest had tobe postponed. All tickets which were gotten for that game will be honored Saturday. As Fosston has the name of turning out fast atheletic organizations, the game will no doubt be a good one. Professor and Mrs. Ritchie en- tertained the high schoolfaculty and members of the Senior class at their home Thursday evening of last week. The evening was spent in playing games, after which refreshments were served, during which everyone present was asked to tell the best story he or she knew. Professor Thornton added greatly tothe en- joyment of the evening by singing a very touching little ballad entitled “He Stuck a Pin in Her to See if She Would Yell,” after which he re- ceived roundafter round of applause. Those present were Miss Greaves, principal of the high school; Pro fessors Thornton and Biddinger; Misses Florence Weekly, Hazel Wells, Eliza Brondby, Ida Hend- rickson, Clara Fisk, Ethel Knox, Signi Wallin, Selma Witting, Rachel Rakerd and Arabelle Neal, and Messrs. Olaf Humdrom and H elmer Kruse. All who were present re- port that they never had a better time and that the event will always be reniembered as one of brightspots of their school life.

If you will learn how to allow perfect relaxation to take place in every part of your body and how to fall asleep whenever you desire, you will need no other remedy than good food to keep you in perfect physical condition. A food does not meed to be heavy to be strengthening. Wheat possesses every element found in the human body and Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes, a dainty, delicious breakfast food, always ready to serve, contains all the nourishment and strength of wheat in easily di- gested form. Be sure it's Egg-O-See you get, for it's the famous and original Egg-O-See process that makes Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes and the E-C Corn Flakes 5o dainty, so ap- petizing and so strengthening. A break- fast of either means a satisfled appe- tite, a grateful stomach and a good day’s work free from “nervous headaches” or dullness. Be sure it’s the Egg-O-See prod- uct. Always watch for the E-C Mark on the package.

I feel that we now have a local life insurance company that is a credit to our city and the Northwest. In this day of agitation and disclosures I feel that we are particularly fortunate in possessing a home institution so clean, 0 substantial and so ably managed. I feel that the people of the Northwest, and in fact all parts ‘of our country, can write insurance with the Northwestern National and feel that they have the best investment and protection that could possibly be secured in the line of insur- ance.

Doan’s Kidney Pills make work easier. They cure backache. " They cure every kidney ill. Frank Engels, living at 415 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I have no hesitancy in publicly recommending Doan’s Kid- ney Pills, as T am confident that my testimonial will be the means of bringing relief to some sufferer of kidney trouble. There was a dull aching in the small of my back for many months, and my kidneys were very much disordered. The secretions from these organs were unnatural in appearance. At last I decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and pro- cured a box at The Owl Drug Store. I began using them carefully as directed, the pain disappeared and the kidney secretions became more natural.”? For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
