From the number and standing of citizens just now declaring they nev- eh heard of any sugar trust, or lobby, or helped the good thing along the government may be faced with anoth- er of those apparently unanswerable questions, ‘“What is sugar?” There was one thing on the pro- gram against which no one registered & kick and that was the Bemidji Band. It was there all the time, and played while it worked. The boys are deserving of much praise and also better support in the future. “Father’s Day” has been es- tablished way out in Spokane.

Friends In Brainerd. In her fight for the Normal school Bemidji is being supported by prac- tically every town in this section of the state. Occassionally some editor throws out a little “jolt,” but it’s al- ways done in a “knocking” manner and has always resulted in a boost from the other fellow. The following taken from the Brainerd Dispatch is an illustration. “The Park Rapids Clipper think the editors “slopped over’” when they recommended Bemidji as the place for the location of the sixth normal school and urged the commission to seriously consider the claims and ad- vantages of that place before making their selection. It is evident that the Clipper editor is not up on Bemidji’s beauties, advantages and does not know that it is the ideal place for this new state institution, even if Park Rapids is a candidate for the same honors.” McCrea Says Choice Was Good Editor McCrea of the Alexandria Post News, a big “GUN” in the news- paper and political field of the state comes out with a fine “boquet” in a recent edition praising Bemidji as a city and congradulating the Nor- thern state press for endorsing this city’s site for the Sixth normal school. Listen to this, it sounds good to us. “The enterprising city of ‘Bemidji is one of the leading aspirants for the new normal school and a better selec- tion could not be made by the state. TheNorthern Minnesota Editorial as- sociation, on its recent visit to that cit, heartily endorsed the beautiful site offered by Bemidji, This grow- ing city of the north is centrally lo- cated in the new district for which the school is intended and has excel- lent railroad facilities. The northern state press assoclation made a good choice.” FIRST STARS AND STRIPES It Appeared Over the Headquarters of General Washington at Cam- bridge, Mass, The stars and stripes first appeared Boating over the headquarters of Gen. George Washington, on the heights of Cambridge, near Boston, on January 2, 1776. This s & fact which {s not us- ually impressed upon the minds of the children in our public schools. With that fact the children should also be fmpressed with the co-ordinate and corrélsative fact that the flag was made orighially under the direction and un- der fthe military orders of George mm and that it contained fn 1614 the personal deflance of #ile by George Washington % 4.00 | (N GOOD OLD DAYS| Noisemaking Devices ~ Weren’t Used a Century Ago. How the Faurth of July, 1812, Was Celebrated, According to the News- papers of the Period, NE of the most interesting features in connection with the safe and sane method of celebrating the Fourth of July now becoming so popular is the fact that it denotes a return to the good old days of our an- cestors when the anniver- sary of Independence was honored with apparently little noise, but with a great fleul of parading, considerable oratory, the reading of the Declaration of Independence, closing with numer- ous dinners and the drinking of as many toasts as there were states in the Union. Fire crackers, cap pistols and other ear-splitting devices which have caused #0 many of the injuries following in the wake of the national holiday, were unknown a century ago. There was sufficient incentive then to make the biggest kind of a racket. ‘The country was engaged in a second war with England, and the younger generation, with the example of the Revolutionary veterans before them, might have been excused had they given vent to noisy demonstrations, According to the newspapers of the time, however, the celebration of July 4, 1812, was conducted in a very or derly way. The phrase “safe and sane” was not used in describing the events of the day. Their substitutes a cen- tury ago were “genteel” or “ respects able.” One of the early celebrations at Princeton was thus described: The flag belonging to the town was displayed opposite the front of the college. At 11 o’clock a genteel com- pany of ladies and gentlemen assem- bled in the college hall, where they were agreeably entertained by two ex- cellent orations sultable to the occa- glon. How safe the Fourth was in New York 100 years ago may be judged from one of the newspaner accounts, which says: ‘We are happy to stats that no evil accident happened, and that the great- est order and tranquillity were main- tained through the day and evening. The Fourth of July, 1812, was opened with the raising of the Stars and Stripes over all the public build- ings and on the shipping in the har- bor. At ten o'clock the militla with the members of the Tammany society, the Tailors, Hibernian, Provident, Co- lumbian and Manhattan socleties with the cordwainers, shipwrights and oth. er trades, met in the park in front of the city hall, which had lately been finished. There they drew up in order of parade, and after a national salute had been fired by the veterans of the Revolution, they mearched dowr Broad- way to Beaver street to Broad, up Pearl to Beekman, where, at the cor- ner of Gold street, the assemblage en- tered St. George's church. The serv- ices consisted of a prayer, reading of the Declaration of Independence, nev- er omitted in the old-time celebra- tions, and an oration by Samuel B. Ro- maine, one of the Tammany Sachems. Earlier in the: day the military or- ganizations of the city were reviewed on the Battery park by Generals Ste- vens, Bloomfield and Morton, and they marched up Broadway to Chambers street, down Chambers to Greenwich street, and back to the Battery, whare, it is stated, “after going through sev- eral military maneuvers, they were dismissed.” Parker Memorial Fountaln, Lexington. PERFECT CONFIDENGE Bemidji People Have Good Reason For Complete Reliance. Do you know how— To find relief from headache; To correct distressing urinary ills; To assist” weak kidneys? Your neighbors know the way— Have used Doan’s kidney Pills; Have proved their worth in many tests. Here’s Bemidji testimony. Mrs.. Carl Golz, 209 Ninth St., Bemidji, Minn., says “I had a weak and lame back and suffered from backache and dizzy spells. My kidneys annoyed me and I had headaches. After I used two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills,. procured at Barker’s Drug Store, I felt better’ in every way.” “When Your Back is Lame—Re- member the Name.” Don’t simply ask for a Kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Golz. had—the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c. all stores.

With a big plece of fried carp as his corroborative evidence, Capt. Tom: Moore of canal towage boat No. 8, in service on the Chesapeake and Ohio’ canal, related a fish story of some magnitude when his boat reached here recently, says a Cumberland (Md:) correapondent. o! the New !ork Her- “We were .llpplng along in the Big Pool,” said Captain Tom, “when I saw an enormous carp swimming near the /| boat. I siezed my rifle and fired, 'stunning him. | Up he comes, belly up, “Then I jumped ashore and slipped & mule collar over the fish’s head and back to just behind the gills. It fit snug. He couldn’t shake it off. Then I tied one end of a line to the collar and 'the other to the boat and - got i b i | | aboard. “In a few minutes the carp came h and started like a flash down the canal, and he yanked the old boat along with ease. I yelled to the-driver tolunhitch his mules and trotislong be- hind and the carp pulled us clear into! Cumberland. When we: got to:theia- sin here I killed the carp. Itaweighed| three hundred pounds. And there,” concluded Captain Moore, pointing to the dish of fried fish, “is & piece ot it, if you don’t believe' me.” ‘We Are Now Making ediate Deliveries On The Mitchell Six, $1850 Regularly Equipped With Electric Lights Electric Starter And Al 'l'he Im LS s nghest Grade Equipment Any Man Could Ask.
