Entored SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YFAR IN 4DVANGE THE BEMID]I FIRE DEPARTMENT. It isn’t likely. that there is another town of comparative size in the state of Minnesota that has so.efficient a fire fighting force as the city of Bemidji. A splendid illustration of the superiority of the departmentis to be found in the fire of Sunday morning when a frame structure, surrounded on all sides by busi- ness houses, became ignited. The building was double sealed, making the flames a discouragingly hard foe to fight. In addition, it was stored with highly inflammable material. The interior of the structure was filled with fire and tongues of flames were leaping high into the sky when the firemen arrived. Not only did the firemen prevent the flames from spreading but actually extinguished them before the build- ing had been entirely consumed. In addition they prevented tbreatened trouble from the showers of sparks which fell into heaps of ignitable rubbish in the nearby alley. Inci- dentally, this was a warning to desist from the habit of cluttering alleys and streets with materials of this sort. But to return to the triumph of the fire fighters, it is well that they be given every praise for the work they did, for had the flames been permitted to make their way to other buildings, smouldering ashes and tottering walls would markthe site of Bemidji's crowded places of mart. The fire department, under the direction of its competent officers, shows itself to be a' well drilled, hard fighting organization of high in- telligence that wins and wins when winning means much. Those already in office agree that one good term deserves another. Garmmar doesn’t appear to be the paramount issue with D. P. O’Neill. Mr. Gray’s candidacy is largely explained by the fact that heisa humorist. Although a champion of county option Rev. Father Reardon is any- thing but a dry speaker. A new coal field has been dis- covered in Alaska. Now watch the Guggenheim-Morgans hop to it. Minnesota’s rye ranks highest in the world. Minnesota also bhas some pretty good consumers of rye. As a result of the battle of ballots todayit is only reasonable to presume that some of the candidates, by this time tomorrow, will be at least half shot. Charles J. Glidden has offered a trophy to the man who travels in an aeroplane from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A coffin would be more . appropriate. The Wisconsia Medical Women’s Association in convention assembled solemnly denounced bedbugs as one of the greatest enemies of public health. But the B. B. gets there just the same. ANINTERESTING EXPERIMENT. The Farmers’ Educational and Cooperative Union at Medical Lake, Wash., has formed a con- sumers’ company, bought a general store, fully stocked with groceries and provisions and farm imple- ments and supplied each of its 100 members with a key to the es- tablishment, the doors of which are not open to the general public, There are no clerks, cashiers and storekeepers; no goods are displayed in the windows, neither are there any hand-bills and catchy * advertisementsto tempt the house- wife, The store is an experiment to reduce the cost of living. Officers of the organization be- lieve with Tolstoi that it is as natural for a normal man to be Lonest as it is for a babe to breathe, and it is purposed to demon- strate the truth of the theory by |’ giving each member access to the stock of unguarded provisions. ‘The man with a T-bone steak appetite and his neighbor, who cares only for dry bread and olive oil, have not yet come together, the society has none of the last named. WILD ASSERTIONS. There may be some good argu- 1he Poataftien st Bomidll, Misnasols, as seccnd | TOEDES against county option but they are not found in the following taken from the Trade News: “That county option is a confidence game intended to deceive. “That county option means loss of local self government, loss of equal rights, loss to thousands of wage earners, loss to business men, loss to farmers, loss to counties, loss to liberty. “Gain in hypocrisy, deceit, blind pigs, bootleggers, dives anq grafters.” If the liquor interests expect to win campaigns on such assertions they have builded on the sands. Temperance and prohibition workers who back the county option movement are prone to become fan- atical and even hvysterical in their pleadings for votes, but it is the ‘anaticism and hysteria bred of the levils of the barroom. The arguments of the “dry” workers contain all the elements which go to stir to the depths the human emotions and because it is mothers, wives and children who bear the brunt of the iniquities of the abuses of liquor, not many. men in their sober moments are willing to say that friends of county option are hypocrites or that they are filled with deceit. Great as would be the outrage of usurping the personal liberty of our citizens, dictating to them what they shall drink, the fact remains that there are still greater evils in the world. The loss to farmers, the loss to wage earners, the loss to liberty is about as wise and convincing an argument ot the liquor defenders as are the oft repeated arguments of the anti saloon exhorters who condemn a man as a low bowed sore on society because he happens to be a saloon keeper, although his father and his father’s father may have been in the business which he has a right to consider an honorable one, There is much to be faid in favor of both sides, but when the evi dence has been weighed the tragic fact remains that from the begin- ning of time strong drink has de- manded an extravagant price for the pleasures it has afforded.

NOT ONLY “SEEMS TO,” BUT DOES. The Bemidji Pioneer seems to favor the election of Judge Stanton even though he has Republican opposition. St. Louis county elects two judges this fall and Judge Dibell, Republican, and Judge Hughes, the Democrat, are unopposed for two places. We not only believe in a non-partisan judiciary over this way, but we practice it.—Chisholm Tribune. KELLIHER SPEAKS UP. The Bemidji Pioneer says “that the Commercial Club does not oppose the construction of roads and ditches, but supports and urges the construction of the same where a considerable number of people are benefitted.” All right, gentle- men, we'll take you at your word. Come up here and we will show you a thrifty community intent on agricultural pursuits, but hampered by lack of adequate roads to market. This district is well settled, the greater part of the land being occu- pied.—Kelliher Journal. CAN'T KILL 'EM NOW. The red-eye drouth decreed for Northern Minnesota by a paternal government was expected to set in on September 15, but the Indian department who sometimes gets thirsty himself, has extended the dread day to Oct 15. If this most credit- able determination to protect the red man man and brother from the ravages of bug juice had been manifested fifty years ago there would have been some real Indians worth saving. - The present gen- eration of Lo's can drink whiskey withim- punity—not to mention strychnine.— Ortonville Herald-Star.

Shepherd, brothers, and the :sup- posed assault upon. the former’s.thir- teen-year-old daughter.. Ebby .in- their. home early last Friday morning, which resulted in the death of the two men, has been solved. The girl confessed-to. County ‘Attor ney Burns:that she:beat both.men with: an axe because they had ‘whipped her. The girl sald that her father and uncle had wkipped her many times and that, arising Thursday night, she got an axe and beat them into insen- sibility. ‘When the two men were found Fri- day morning the girl related a story of an attack by a strange man.

A little girl had been so very naugh. ty that her mother found it necessary to shut her up in a dark closet—inthat family the direst punishment for the worst offense. JFor fifteen minutes.the door had been locked without a sound coming from behind it—not a whim- per, not a sniffle. At last the stern but anxious parent uniocked the closet door and peered into the darkness. She could see nothing. “What are you doing in there?' she cried. And then a little volce piped from the blackness: “1 thpit on your new -dress;-and -l thpit on your new hat, and I'm wait- ing for more thpit to come to thpit on your new parasol!” — Philadelphia Times. Her Lost: Chan Mrs. B.—I wonder why Miss Single ton refused the curate when he pro- posed to her?” Mrs. D.—All a mistake, my dear, a sad mistake; you know she has grown a little deaf, and she did not suspect he was at all “gone” on her. She ac- tually thought he was asking her to subscribe to the new organ fund.:so she told him she was sorry, but she had promised all her money in another direction. Mrs. B.—Then what happened?” Mrs. D.—The curate felt himself. in- sulted and departed in dudgeon, and she’s lost the ounly chance she ever bhad.—Londen Telegraph. Sense of Humor Declining. “Do you- think ‘Americans have a great sense of humor?” } “Well,” replied Senator Sorghum, “I'm afraid it isn’t what it used to be._ The folks out home are becoming so interested in economic issues that they don’t seem -to care whether. 1 tell them: any funny storles or not.”—Washing: ton Star. “Can be depended upon” is an expression we all like to hear, and when it is used in connection with Chamberlain’s Co.ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy it means that it never fails to cure diarrhoea, dysentery or bowel complaints, It is pleasant to take and equally valu- able for children ‘and adults. = Sold at Barker’s Drug Store.

Suvaroff was famous as a jester and was fond of confusing the men under his com- mand by asking them unexpected and absurd questions. But occasionally he met his match. Thus one bitter January. night, such .as Russia only can produce, he rode up to a sentry and demanded: “How many .stars are there in the eky?" The soldier, not a whit disturbed. answered coolly: “Walt a little, and I'll tell you.” And he deliberately commenced count: Ing, “One two, three.” etc. When he had reached 100 Suvaroff, who was half frozen. thought it high time to ride off, not. however, with- out inquiring the name of the ready reckoner Next day the latter found himself promoted. Gypsies:and Death. The.custom of placing the property of the'dead in-their graves has always been followed-:by the true Romany gypsies. It is due to-some old tradi- tion of ill luck attending the possession of anarticle whose former owner is gone, and -much valuable property Is buried in this belief. There Is also a sentiment amcng gypsles against the possession of anything that has be- longed. .to_a dead .person. because it serves to remind the living of the de- parted.and inspire in them a dread of death. The custom of burying their property with gypsy dead dates from the earliest history of the Romany “tribes. Children Who Are Sickly.

Gentlemen: During the last few weeks there have been.rumors of all kinds circulated throughout the country-as regards: the Buick Motor Co.. having gone broke, having 12,000 cars on hand which they are selling ‘to Montgomery Ward & Co. and Sears Robuck & Co., and a number of other’ rumors equally as ridiculous. While other stories have occasionally reached our ears, knowing them to be absolutely without foundation we have merely laughed them off, but now that they are so persistent we feel that in justice to all .concerned we should A Tip on Oats. According to the Saturday Evening Post, a man who bad a country place on Long Island came to New York one morning to do.a little speculating. He was a great belever in tips. On the ferryboat it came to. him that he ‘had ‘had somehow a tip on oats. ‘He couldn’t remember-just what (|- it was, but somebody had told him to buy oats. So when he reached his broker’s-office he looked into oats a bit and bought some. - Oats-were active. ‘He 'pyramided - skillfully ‘and by the close of the market was $7,000 ahead. Of course-snch Juck as that had to be celebrated, and it was. As the cele- bration went on the oats buyer told the story several times and each time took on.importance in the recital as an oats buyer until he finally became the oats king. He reached his railroad station somewhat late and found the stable. man waiting for him-with a trap. “By the way." said the stableman. “did you remember. to order that five bushels of oats I asked you to buy this morning?”’ Talking About Drugs We would say that Parke-Davis & Co's line, as far as we are able to learn, leads them all. That is the chief reason for our selling them. Life is often hanging in the balance when a physician writes a prescription. If the com- pounding is inaccurate, or if the drugs supplied are lacking in purity or strength, who shall answer for results? We recognize our responsi- bility in these matters.

The Buick Motor Co, is not involved, and as evidence beg to cite the fact that they borrowed two and one half millions of dollars right in New York City within the last two weeks to carry on the 1911 campaign. They are not stocked up with machines, being completely sold out on the model 10's and 16's and are very low on balance of models. not and-will not sell Montgomery Ward Co. or. Sears Robuck Co. any machines other than for their own use. These stories were started by Buick competitors who forgot the common’ - saying ,‘every knock is a boost” and who ought to- be busy making a few im- provements in their own machines, to say nothing of rustling the money to " make the changes instead of finding fault with others.
