VOLUME 11. NUMBER 17. HONEYWELL TAKES CRACK AT SOCIETY Shows Where Money Is Being Spent By Christian People of Today. POODLES COME IN FOR SHARE Chewing Gum one of the Lesser Evils But Costs People $22,000,000. BOOZE AND CARDS GET BLOW Will Present His “Kill or Cure” Sermon in Tabernacle on Sunday: Night. “SHAVINGS FROM TABERNACLE” “The world is dying for the practi- cal application of Chrsitianity. Some- times there is more Christianity in a ton of coal and a sack of flour than in a sermon.” “Too many today are like the old hermit who prayed all night for the heathen while a poor tramp froze to death on his door step.” “If there is anything that makes me sick it is to see a woman hugging and kissing a brindle nosed pug. There is many a home today in which a dog is more welcome than a child,” “In many ‘a so-called Christian home the pack of cards is worn thin and greasy while you could write ‘Damnation’ in the dust accumulated on the Bible covers.” “How much room do our boys and girls see for Christ in our homes, hearts and lives?” “The bum, the gambler, and the sot makes his beginning in that kind of a-life in the card party of high so- ciety.” (By REV. CHARLES CHANDLER.) The Tabernacle meetings are now fairly under way and notwithstand- ing the damp cold weather fair-sized crowds have greeted Mr. Honeywell and party each service. It is pre- dicted that it will be difficult to seat all the people in the Sunday meet- ings. The Sunday morning service will commence at 10:45. Mr. Honey- well will speak ‘at this time and also in the evening. The Sunday after- noon service will be a young people’s rally. The audience last evening was large and attentive in spite of many interruptions. The title of last night’s address was, “Hitting the Nail on the Head.” Mr. Honeywell was led to adopt this title by reason of the fact that so many times after preaching the sermon people have come to him .and said, “You hit the nail on the head this time.” The evangelist dealt fearlessly with popular sins and made a strong plea that Christ might have the place that belongs to him in the hearts and homes and lives of his hearers. The text of the sermon reads “There was no room for them in the Inn.” There was no room for Christ then and judging by the facts presented in Mr. Honeywell’s address there is no more room now than then. The enormous sums spent for drink, for tobacco for chewing gun‘l and pet poodles as com- pared to the relatively small amount given to Christ and His work was used to substantiate this proposition. On Sunday evening Mr. Honeywell will deliver his sermon known as “The Kill or Cure Sermon.” “LITTLE BEMIDG” GETS GAME Will Play Team From Crookston Mill at Fair Grounds Sunday. Sunday afternoon at two o'clock the “Little Bemidg™ baseball team will clash with the Crookston Lum- ber company team ‘at the fair grounds. Both teams have been practicing hard the past week as they intended to play outside teams but as all the games were cancelled they will turn their skill upon each other. -WILLARD-SMITH FIGHT TONIGHT Betting Favors “Gunboat” in Twenty Round Bout at Frisco.

KILL LA FOLLETTE AMENDMENT ‘Washington, May’17.—'l‘he demo- cratic leaders in the senate endorsed late yesterday their determination to refer the Underwood tariff bill to the finance committee for consideration without public hearings. The Pen- rose-La Follefle amendment directing public hearings to be held, was da- feated by a voté of 41 to 36,-and the motion of Simmons to refer the biil was then passed without a roll call. Two Democrats of Louisiana voted the republican - amendments. oPindexter, progressive of Washing- ton, voted with the majority. The closing day of the debate on the issue ‘of hearings was enlivened for with a discussion of the Democratic platform and its bearing on free su- gar by Senator James of Kentucky, who vigorously' defended the taken by the president for free sugar ard declared the party had stood for free sugar and campaigned on it, and stand defied the Louisiana senators to find a man the president ever told he was opposed to free sugar. Senators Smoot, La Follette and’ Clark wound up the debate on behalr: of the public hearings amendment, Smoot predicting party would be put out of power for another quarter of a century as '.l"A result of its tariff bill. Clark declared the Underwood bill just as much a law today as it will be after the sen- ate had voted upon it, and Senator La Follette urged the Democrats to! court the open door policy. Great interest was ‘manifested in the final contest, the galleries being crowded with spectators. the Democratic AR RRHHKKR KKK KKK KK * AT THE CHURCHES * HEHE KR E R R R E R KKK Swedish Lutheran, Sunday school at 12.

The gratifying feature of it all,* There was a | Chance confided to a friend on the {way to the park, was the fact that the movement for the biggest base- ball celebration Chicago has seen in some years, came straight from the hearts of the loyal Chance rooters themselves. Fred Heeman, a grain broker, got it under way, and he re-| ceived so many offers of assistance that he appointed a big committee made up of 125 friends of the former Cub chieftain, recruited largely from the heart of the” Windy City’s bus- iness section. Heeman sent out a call for two {hundred autos. He got them and more, and when the parade started out along the lake front at ome o’clock at least'1,000 cars trailed the White Sox and Yankee players, who in turneéd trailed the monster mach- ine that carried the idol of the day. Meanwhile the 40,000 ‘who had no automobiles and didn’t seem to care to hang about it, had been hurrying toward Comiskey’s plant since noon. It was a big crowd, perhaps ‘the largest that ever saw a game at the Sox park, and President Ban John- son of thie American league—oh yes, he was among those present—who had made the prediction of a record *{erowd, smiled benignly as he theore- tically counted the dollars the crowd meant to the A. L. coffers. And let it be thoroughly understood. that when the gate receipts are counted at the close of the Yankee-Sox ser- ies, it’s dollars to doughnut holes that Chance will have proven him- self the greatest individual drawing card who has ever played in the Sox park.

S. | Threatening to Returii Credentials of American Embassador Henry Lane Wilson, {THUS COMPELLING RECOGNITION By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington, May 17.—The Huerta {regime,. which rose on treachery and murder to dictatorship. in Mexico, is acting” saucily towards Uncle Sam because the” Wilson iiadministration " refuses to recognize that government: Huerta is threatening to send back the credentials of Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. If Henry Lane Wilson were ' re- called, however, it would necessitate the appointment of a new ambassa- dor, and a new ambassador has to be accredited to the government of the country to which he is sent. This would compel the United States to recognize Huerta. It’s a pretty.little plan, and has a good deal of support in Wall street. Unfortunately for its success, Presi- dent Wilson seems disposed to allow Henry Lane to remain dangling be- tween the devil and the deep sea.

COURSE LIKENED TO BALL GAME Toastmaster Haymor, President of Junior Class, Says Graduates Merely Reaching Home. “HIT BALL HARD” WAS MOTTO Leon Battles, President Shannom, of Seniors, and Miss Loe, Princi- pal, Respond to Toasts. (By MAYNE STANTON.) Member of Senior Class. “Anaffair unique in the history of the Bemidi high school, and it has been with no little amount. of real pleasure that 1 have been seated at this festive board this evening,” was the way in which W. P. Dyer, super- | |intendent of the Bemidji schools, re- ferred in a toast to last evening’s banquet given by the Juniors of the High school. Toastmaster Harold Haynor, presi- dent of the Junior class, likened the four year high school course to.a big league baseball game, in which the student is at bat and the faculty in the field. It ‘was to count as a score when graduation was reached. To arrive at first was to have made a successful “single” in the freshman year, and by-a clever bit of base steal- ing grain second in the sophomore 'period. Then by keeping the mind alert -|who pays that guy a salary, and active the student could slide into third in‘ his Junior year. The senior was the one in which he was to score, to reach home plate, gn}l- uation. The toastmaster said with regret that.he would have to.let-the.history. of the freshman. - and sophomore: go untold, there being only higher classmen at the banquet. Leon Bat- tles was requested to respond for the third year students. He told of the battle fought by the members of his class in reaching third and hoped that its whole number would be able to make an exciting finish next year and score a run. .Donald Shannon, president-of the Seniors, told of the “scoring.” He said that it had been a hard game, but a good game, that he was sorry it was 80 near over. In behalf of his classmates he thanked the Juniors for their progressive spirit in arrang- ing the banquet, and advised the Seniors of next year that if they wished to score, all that was neces- sary for them to do was' ‘to retain that same unbeateable spirit. Miss Eliza Loe, principal of the high school, responded in behalf of the faculty. She said that she had scanned the sporting pages of the daily papers in an effort to gain some knowledge of the game of baseball so that she might fill her part en the evenings program in an interesting manner. That she had noticed the term “two bager,” “pinch hitter,” “fan” and “swiped sack;” and would do her level best to apply them in a correct way. Her part in the game was that of pitcher, and she stated that it was with no little pleasure that she saw the first year students step up to the plate in a determined manner, and slam out her best “twis- ter” for a pretty “Texas leaguer.” Then came Mr. Dyer, the umpire, who had received crys of kill the um- pire, rotten, get a pair of glasses, all In part Mr. Dyer- through the game. said: “1 like to see you hit the ball hard, to see you make the circult in all its glory. It is with disappointment that 1 see a student die at second or third. The juniors have done themselves proud tonight, and I hope that the classes to follow will do as well. 1 am proud of the seniors of 1913, they. have been hard hitters and have run the bases well. You know an um- pire likes to see the clever basefun- ner take advantage of the slightest oppottunity to score, he likes to see. them slide Into third and gain home plate by an exciting run. It is With much that same feeling that I watch ‘who comprise the high school.”. The banquet was held at the Mnlp- ‘| ham hotel, and was aerved under the directions of Chief Ckark Ollte Ni - lson. The entire affair was pulled off without a_ hitch and ‘the management |was the receplent of much praise.
