We beliéve that Bemidji is not nearly as bad to live in as the reporters paint it when writing stuff for twin city papers.” ” Here is what the Pilot says, Walker would like to see: “What Walker wants to see is a good road headed toward Cass Lake and a normal school at the other end of it.” We sincerely trust, and hope, and believe that they will and can get the good road, and we would like to help them get it. About the other, well, it would be a good think for Cass Lake. Ah There, Bemidji. At the suggestion of Mayor Kinke- le, Secretary Jamison of the Commer- cial club wrote to the Bemidji Com- _mercial club this week, urging them to use more vigilance in keeping li- quor away from the Indians who go from Walker to that city. It has been found that Indians who purchase a ticket to Bemidji, and return on the midnight train, invaribly are loaded down with several quarts of whiskey. A number of such bottles were con- fiscated this week by Marshall Ken- nedy.”’ The above is an article published in the Walker Pilot of last week and infers that Bemidji saloonkeepers are selling liquor to Indians. Careful investigation indicates that Bemidji saloons do not sell liguor to Indians, but on the coutrary are do'ng e/ery thing in their power to prevent it. When Indians obtain liquor in this city they get it from private individ- uals who act as the go-between and in no case should the saloonkeeper have this unfair charge thrust.upon them. : Didn't Know His: Own Horse. Law Notes finds a case in the petty sessions of Ireland involving a clergy- man and his-horse. - The clergyman was summoned to court for permitting his-horse to wander on.the_ public highway away. from the control of any person. ‘The police testified that their attention was called to the: horse by the clergyman himself, who complain- ed that the offense was occurring con- stantly and was:very dangerous. -The police couldn’t find the owner and im-: pounded the animal. The next day the priest missed his steed and went with his ervant and identiffed the-offend- ing ‘beast as his own' property.” The fustices gave him his horse; but im- posed a small fine for his offense.. .

In the cities this work is being simn- plified by calling in a man with an electric machine who takes all the dust off the walls, pictures, curtains, rugs and furniture without removing them from their places,-and also with- out depositing. it-on other objects to be removed again, as work proceeds. On the farm; where electricity is usually not available, the housekeep- er must hecessarily do the work, but she may well be provided with a handpower vacuum - cleaner consist- ing of two tin tubes fastened togeth- er, In one of which is a cloth bag and in the other a simple air pump. This machine will quickly remove all the dust from the carpets and.rugs; even drawing out the fine particles that neither broom nor carpet sweep- er can remove’'them. A ‘“clean” rug will yield a surprising amount of dust to' one of these vacuum cleaners. With one of these machines house- cleaning will no longer be a night- mare, and will soon be accomplished.

Turn the brood sows with their lit- ters into the large clover field, as soon as the pigs are strong enough.| About June 10, mow from one-third to one-half of the clover and make it into hay. 2 Immediately upon cutting the rap- idly growing clover, young shoots will spring up. Hogs prefer these to the more mature plants, and imme- diately they will leave the oiderclo- ver, which has not been mowed, and spend their -time - upon the cutover portion of the field. At the regular haying time, just before July 4, the. balance of the field may be cut for hay. Where the pasture is fairly well stocked, the pigs and calves should be able to take care of the pasture during the rest of the season. By this time, too, the pigs will_be weighing from fifty to eighty pounds each and will be eating considerable -green clover. This' scheme has worked ‘out very successfully, and is - highly recom- mended. There are several hog rais- ers in Minnesota who are following. it, and who report the greatest satisfac- tion with the results obtained. Or- dinarily, one acre of pasture during a good season will provide feed enough for three brood sows with their pigs. Plenty- of YOU DO? cot room and trough | room, with proper feeding facilities, pasture.

He got a hold of him from time to time, and outlined con- Jectured profits, showing what a cer- tain parlay would have paid the day before. ¥ The German listened to this with diminishing patience, but with no.out- breaks.

When the hair is made up in the phape of elephants’ ears it indicates matrimony and when worn in a tail it means -that the woman is a spinster. In order to give this shape to the hair the woman makes a parting in the middle of her head, then drenches:the hair, each side by turn, with a pleas Ing mixture of fish glue-and grease. ‘When it is thoroughly soaked she gpreads the upper part out thinly in puch a way that at its broadest it measures about six inches wide. To keep the hair in this shape she em- ploys wooden clips, which, when the / romance of the Orient divine! -An original Oh, youFatimal. —for inside. ufi-‘—‘%flfot 15 centss & hair is dry, are replaced, if’ she can| efford it, by silver or golden ones.| The lower part of the hair is made Into a plait, with a silver or ;olden| ornament ‘at -the end to: prevent it coming undone. 2 These silver -or golden clips and hair ornaments are often set with precious stones and princesses even have the whole of the plait hidden | by ‘means of silver or golden.rings. As the making up of the hair takes a whole day and-the Mongol 'women are i very lazy and not particularly cleanly In their habits, it is not surprising to learn that this operation is performed | by some once a week, by others once 2 month and yet others—pretty low down in the social scale—once a year. | ~Wide World Magazine. * Fortunate: That Love Is Blind. | A friend of mine was discussing a girl’s engagement the other-day. “Eth- el brought her flance to introduce him,” she said: - “What a surprise he.was!

We expected her | choice to be a masculine counterpart of herself: “Well, imagine an ignoble face, the small features all bunched up in the middle, a sly, deceitful ex- pressoin, one eye watching to see what you think of him, the other !crnmly scrutinizing you; in fact, the | kind of face one dislikes at sight. | “Yet Ethel seemed gquite pleased with him, even-in love: - There may be qualities of mind and heart that do not appear on the surface, but if 80 he ought to indict his face for li- bel.”—Chicago Tribune. Good Actions Live. As shrubs which are cut down with the morning dew upon' them do for a long time after retain their fragrancy, 80 the good actions of a wise man perfume his mind, and leave & rich scent behimd them. So that joy is; as it were, watered with these essences, and owes its flourishing to them.— Plutarch. The Globe HaBit _ A man of acquaintance, who might not be. suspected of knowing much about his wife’s hats and gowns, has lately acquired the habit of studying the advertising pages of THE PIO- NEER. The result is that he has en- joved no little amount of profitable diversion in helping his wife make her Spring selections of hats and shoes and other apparel. || By friendly co-operation and dis- cussion of the many attractive offer- ings, he proved himself of great assist- ance to his wife and turned away weeks of irritating shopping experi- ences into a pleasant pastime. He has demonstratéd” to his own satisfaction that, by a systematic study of the adverising columns of THE PIONEER, one may save time, meney and patience in spring shop- ping, Also, that it is a very good habit to take THE PIONEER home eech day or to have it delivered regularly, where it may be read thoroughly in the quiet of the home circle.
