KODAK SEASOY IS ON Bemidji Scene of Amateur Photog- raphers—Many Views Are Be- ing Taken, LOCAL CAMERA SALES LARGE This is the season of the year when the camera is one of the bus- iest instruments in use. In Bemidji it is used very“extensively, not alone by residents of the city, but more so by strangers and visitors who come here for a few days recreation. Many who have learned that Be- midji is an ideal summer resort and a splendid place to spend a vacation, came without a camera, but found little trouble in securing the best on the market right in this city’s lead- ing stores. Half the. enjoyment of a vacation is derived from going over your trips in after years, having before you the exact photographs of incidents that occurred. It will not only be a treat to yourself but to your friends as well. There is little argument against the fact that the camera gives much additional pleasure on outings of any kind, pe they for several weeks dura- ation or just for a few hours. Perhaps more than picture taking outfits have been sold since spring op- ened and the one fact that is most no- ticable is that by far the greater number are Eastman Kodaks. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that this particular Kodak, besides having the reputation as the leader, is so well advertised ‘and that one of the most wide-awake merchants in Northern Minnesota sells the Eastman Kodak. The old saying that has made a big hit, “If it isn’t an Eastman it isn’t a Kodak,” has also something to do with the large sale in this commun- ity. Bemidji's representative for the Eastman Kodak is E. A. Barker. Miles, Long and Short. Considering the size of Switzerlan@ one might expect a mile to be about as far as one could throw a ball, but the bardy mountaineers think 9,158 yards the proper thing, even when, as it generally is, it i3 very much up hill. The Swiss is the longest mile of all, being followed by the Vienna post mile of 8,296 yards. 5 The Flemish mile is 6,869 yards, the Prussian 8,237 yards, and in Depmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mile. The Arabs generally ride good horses and call 2,143 yards a mile, while the Turks are satisfied with 1,826 yards, and the Italians shorten the distance of a mile to 1,766 yards, just six yards more than the American has in mind when the agent ‘waves his hand and blandly remarks, “About a mile.” Forced to Rely on Candles. Very few houses in the French West Indies possess kerosene lamps, candles Dbeing commonly used for household illuminating. The import duty makes it impossible for the peo- ple, who are poor, to use elther kero- pene or gasoline. Chance for an Inventor.

Btory of Stuyvesant Fish's Futlle R fort to Teach a Switchman to B Polite, Elmer T. Stevens of Charles H. Btevens & Bros, told the ‘following story at the Association of Commerce luncheon at the La Salle hotel in Chicago: : “When Stuyvesant Fish was prest- dent of the Illinols Central rallroad, he was sitting in his of one morn- Ing with the door closed, looking over some reports. The door was sudden- 1y- opened and in came an Irishman with his hat on his head and his pipe In hiz mouth, and, walking up to Mr. Fish, he said: “I want a pass to St. Louis.” 4 “President Fish, somewhat sur- prised, looked up and said, ‘Who are you?r { “The man replied, I am Pat Casey, one of your switchmen.” 3 “President Fish, thinking it was & good chance to teach the man a Ht- tle lesson in etiquette, sald: ‘Now, Pat, T am not going to say that I will refuse your request, but there are cer- tain forms that a man should observe In asking a favor. You should knock at the door before you come in, and when I say “Come in,” you should en- ter, and, taking off your hat, and re- moving your pipe from your mouth, you should say, “Are you President Fish?” I would say, “I am, Who are you?” Then you should say, “I am Pat Casey, one of your switchmen.” Then I would say, “What can I do for you?” Then you would tell me, and the matter would be gettled. Now, you BO out and come in again in a little while and see it you can do better.” “So the switchman went out, closing the door. About two hours later there was a knock on the door and Presi- dent Fish gaid, ‘Come in’ In came Pat Casey, with his hat off and his pipe out of his mouth. Pat said, ‘Good mernin’, are _you President Fish of THE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL No $1.00 Per Copy " Lend your support to this worthy cause.

Some men think that money can do anything. A certain rich man sent for the doctor, who looked him over and then pronounced judgment. “You have been living too high.” “Maybe s0.” “You have violated nature’s laws.” “I guess I have.” “You must pay the penalty.” “Pay the penalty?
