During the past week many people have ccme to the editor and asked why the Pioneer did not more forcib- ly advocate a skating rink for Be- midji. Bemidji can have such a skat- ing ring if the people show that they want it._ It lies. within the power of the street committee of the council, which is composed of John Moberg, Tom Smart and Joe Bisiar, to order the street commissioner to prepare and maintain such a rink. To make 2 good rink will take the time of a man and one horse for half a day and should not cost over $2.25. In case of more snow, it can be pushed back again. - The school children could keep such a rink clean once the most of the snow pushed off. If the Bemidji skaters—both ~childrén and adults—wish a rink, the way to get it is to demand it of their rep- resentatives on the city council. The street committee has the power and the cost is not prohibitive. A Council of Defense. In his annual report to congress, which was submitted today, George " _von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, .makes the following recommenda- 7,,.tlon: — “What the navy is striving for is to get the highest possible efficiency and preparedness for war. It is felt , that a council of national defense -will be an additional benefit to the navy-and to the nation. It will in a way be a vehicle between the depart- ment and congress. " “In order to have success, there must be efficiency. To have effi- ciency, there must be a definite pol- icy; to bring about a definite policy, " there must be co-operation and co-or- dination of Congress, the army, and the navy. To obtain this co-opera- tion, there must be an intelligent un- derstanding ‘between the legislative and the executive authorities. “The proposed council of national defense should be made up of two cabinet officers, four senators, four congressmen, two army officers, and two navy officers. It would seem that ‘this council would tend toward the result in a better understanding and in a definite-policy. “The passage of a bill creating the council of national defense is strong- ly urged, as the establishment of this council -will. have far reaching and beneficial effects.” To a layman this seems like an ex- cellent suggestion and is at least worthy of serious consideration. The Commission Form. - Many Bemidji people have long been interested in the commission form of” government and have been watching closely the fight just made in Duluth.. Duluth adopted the com- mission plan by a vote of 5,624 to 3,386° and henceforth the cumber- ward system will be but a mem- ory in that city. . The commission form of govern- ment has“undérgone many changes since it was first tried out in Galves- tohi" and Des Moines but the absic prigclflll of concentration of author- ity and responsibility remains. Be- midji- needs ‘sach a form of govern- ment and needs it badly. This city has a big debt and cannot afford to waste money through the many leak- ages which are found in the ward systems. Any person who has attend- ed the meetings of the city council month after month will have this fact firmly impressed upon them. A movement has already been start- ed here for a special election to be held next spring on the commission form. But before such an election can he held, it will be necessary to have a charter commission appointed and a charter drawn up. All of this takes time so that it will ‘be many months before Bemidji can actually vote on a charter even if the work is started mow. But this city needs a simpler ‘government ‘perhaps more than even larger ones. It will come in time and it will be no mistake for hel'l the deliv- |. - coffee in five minutes at a Nickel Plated Electric Copper Finished * Dishes, etc. 316-318 Minn.

YOUR MONEY BAOK IF YOU WANT IT BEMIDJI Phone 57 citizens to start posting themselves means. Under the Duluth charter ward lines are eliminated and the five com- missioners will be elected at large. One commissioner will be the mayor, who will preside at the meetings of the commission. The city govern- ment will be divided into four depart- ments, as follows: Department of department of public works, and de- partment of public utilities. Each commissioner will be paid an annual salary of $4,000, and will be requir- ed to give all'of his time to the gov- ernment of the city. The duties of the commissioners will be assigned them at the first meeting after the election. Nominations for office must be made by petition, consisting of at least fifty individual certificates. No elector may sign more certificates than there are offices to be filled. The petitions must be filed with the city clerk not earlier than forty and not later than thirty days before the elec- tion. The person nominated must file an acceptance within twenty days before the date of the election, mak- ing affidavit that he is not candidate of any political party, thus insuring the non-partizanship of the elections.

Yet it is a leakage that can easily | be stopped if the housewife will only {pay a little more attention to the choice of her baking:powder. Some think there is eéconomy in buying the cheap “big can” baking powders. These baking powders are not al- ways uniform, and sometimes pro- duce failures in the baking, and the result is that more is lost in one or {two spolled bakings than you spend | on baking powder in the whole year. The cheap “big can’ baking powders should be avoided. On the other hand, how many housewives feel that a baking pow- der is no value unless they pay 50 cents a pound for it—the price charged for the high-priced “trust” brands. This is a mistake, the best baking powder that can be made can be sold for 25¢ per pound if the man- ufacturer is satisfied with a.reason- able profit. There is one brand on the market that meets these require- ments. It is CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recommended by leading physicians and chemists; used in millions of homes, and given the Highest Awards at the World’s Pure Food Exposition, Chicago, Ill., and Paris Exposition, France, 1912.

To prevent grippe from being fol- lowed by either pleurisy or pneumon- ia, it is important to drive the last and the single election will be on the traces of it out of the system quick- preferential plan, preventing the election of minortiy candidates.

Who does not know the value of Sage and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft and glossy and in good condition? As a matter of fact, Sul- phur is a natural element of hair, and a deficlency of it in the hair is held my many acalp specialists to be connected with loss of color and vi- tality of the hair. Unquestionably there is no better remedy for hair and scalp troubles, especially prema- ture grayness, than Sage and Sul- phur, if properly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Company of New York put out an ideal prepara- tion of this kind. called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur are combined with other yaluable remedies for keeping the hair and scalp in clean, healthy condition. It your hair is losing its color or constantly coming out, or if you are troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy scalp, get a fifty cent bottle of Wy- eth’s Sage and Sulphur from your druggist, use it according to the sim- ple directions, and see what a differ- ence a few days’ treatment will make in the appearance of your hair. All druggists sell it, under guaran- tee ‘that the money will be refunded if the remedy is not exactly as repre- sented.—Ady. down and with a severe cough from which I suffered four years.
