Awverage Player Receives Six Times as Much Money as Average Min- Ister—Chance to Think. It must take an ordinary, or even extraordinary, lawyer, doctor or min- ister very, very much fatigued to read, day after day, of the fanciful. salary figures that are being printed of and concerning diverse and sundry dark necks who are capable of hitting above .300 and stealing a few, now and then, says the Milwaukee Senti~ nel. Indeed, if these worthy profes- sional gentlemen who have probably, denied themselves years of fun and amusement have scrimped and pinched in every way to get an education and have made themselves and families economize uitil they could get estab- lished, stop to think at all about the matter, it must make them sick at heart and peeved at the ‘confounded order of things that makes such a ‘tondition possible. 4 The average ballplayer gets six times as much sala'y as the average minister, probably tiree or four times as much as the avcrage lawyer and from two to three times as much as the average doctor, and all because | 1e neglected brains for brawn. When *one stops to think how many good ‘barbers, brakemen and bartenders ‘there are getting more than doctors, lawyers and preachers, it -knocks the props out from under his idea of the fitness of things.

The culmination of Mr. Quezon’s life-ambition will be the enactment - |into law of Congressman Jones’ In- dependence Bill, which would give the Filipinos complete independence at the end of eight years. Speaking of the Bill, Mr. Quezon said: the most conservative Filipinos have expressed their approval.” Just above his desk in the house office building hangs a very pretty flag—a flag of red, white and-blue, but- with only ‘three stars. corners of a white triangle, in’ the center of which is a big round ‘sun. “That is our flag,” he would ex- plain to you. “The three stars rep- resent the Island of Luzon, the Vis- ayan Archipelago, and the Island of Mindanao and its adacent islands, and the sun in the center represents the bond of nationality welding them together. We are prohibited to dis- play it in the islands, but thanks to God, that law does mot govern our doings here.” : NORMAL BOARD MAN DEAD L- A.

The | A The Story of a Wonderful Watch Fifty years -only, separate the clumsy, inaccurate old time-keeper from that marvel of pocket mechanism —the Bemidji Special. In those days it took one man a year to build a watch, Today 12,000 are turned -out every twenty-four hours in the United States—over 4,000,000 a year. - While you are reading this statement more than 25 complete watches were manu- factured. The Bemidji Special is no more like the watch of fifty years ago than the modern harvesting machine is like the old fashioned hand scythe. AROUND THE WORLD ON A DROP OF OIL Did you ever stop and think what a wonderful piece of mechanism a good watch like the Bemidji Special is? Take the hairspring for instance. One mile of this wire weighs less than half | apound. The balance wheel makes 18,000 vibrations an hour—<i57,000,- 000 a year. It mioves 3,558 niiles a year on less than one-tenth of a drop of oil. If a locomotive, having six foot driv- ing wheels, were started at the equator, and should run until its wheels had performed the same num- ber of revolutions that a balance wheel does in one year, it would make more than twenty-eight complete circuits of the earth. . The Bemidji Special is adjusted to every change and condition. Baked in an oven, frozen in a refrigerator, adjusted to position, put through a 700 hour test for accuracy, can you wonder why this wonderful watch is The Standard of this community today. FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE We give a five year guarantee with each Bemidji Special watch— because they give us the least trouble in making good our guarantee. Bemidji Special movements are now being fitted in the new style 25- year case with safety bow, that can- not pull or twist out.
