As the committee can flind no law under which to prosecute David La- mar for impresonating public men, a motion would be in order to fire the committee and hire Lamar. “The shortest poem ever written” says a Georgia newspaper, “concerned flies. The author is unknown, but must have been a wonthn, for it lilts after this fashion: “‘We De- Spise Flies ' ” A deer walked into Ole Johnson’s barn the other day and Ole closed the door. Ole is a farmer near the vilage of Wabanica. This makes two deer Mr. Johnson has in his posses- sion. He has written the state game commission for permission to keep them and they ought to let him do it. Wait until you get a big collec- tion Ole and then invite your friends to go hunting, and take a “Look At” your stock. Townsite Company Liberal The Bemidji Townsite and Im- provement company made a big hit with the citizens of this city, when it came across with a beautiful tract of land on the shores of Lake Be- midji as part of the Normal school site, which institution we hope to have located here. It is a gift that| Bemidji will not soon forget and the Townsite company is to be congrad- ulated upon the very liberal attitude assumed. This company without one cent of money freely offered this beautiful spot for this institution, which includes platted and unplat- ted property to the extent of nearly $30,000. The work of the commit- tee, who went to St. Paul and so sue- cessfully tied the “Knot” for the en- tire piece deserve success as a result of their efforts. The Roll 0f Honor Hats off to the men who worked and won. Not until the job was com- pleted did we appreciate what was necessary in order to land the sixth Normal school. To the men who were present during the visit of the nor- mal school commission belongs a por- tion of credit, but when it comes to placing the other ninety nine present it should go where it is due. It be- longs to the men who gathered the facts and figures of conclusive -proof and presented them so well to the board. It belongs to the men who were working day and night in an earnest endeavor to win. To name the stars that shine the brighest might show up more distinetly we little clouds that merely float around and fall in line, but the public ought to know that professors Stewart and Dyer were there months before the commissioners came and “stuck” un- til the finish. Give to them their per- centage of credit and let us all share in the glory. Works For The Workless They thought Gen. crazy when, Coxey was years ago, he led to Washington an army of down-and- outs to demand that Uncle Sam give them work. But here comes Senator Poindetter, admittedly safe and sane, with a . bill: to create a .national in- dustrial army to which any able- bodied person above 16 years of age Who shall swear that he wants work and cannot find it may be eligible for service on harbors, forts, canals, reclamation projects, etc., as long as he chooses, at $2 a day. ‘This is simply Coxeyism brought up to date And ‘why not? In this great land there surely is much public werk to do. Moreover, if there is not enough to keep all otherwise unemployed e — workers busy, it would not be diffi- cult to plan more and to pay for it by taking for public service some of the unearned in-crement which now finds it way into private pockets, with little gain to society at large. A jobless man who wants a joh [is an indictment of society, which so~ clety, through government, should be. made to answer for like any other criminal. Why put upon this weak member of*society all the burden of finding the: work, when it ds-society and not the man who makes the work difficult to find? Then, too, think of this: If the man does not work it is a sure thing that society will have to support him anyhow. Why not support him in the least costly fashion by providing an occupation which does not forfeit or weaken his self respect? We suppose Poindexter has put in his bill less with the expectation of seeing it pass than of forcing us to think. But it is not an entirely aca- demic. proposal—it is really practi- cal and practicable. All that is need- ed to make it effective is a strong enough public support. Society does owe to every honest man a fair chance to earn an honest living; and it is much wiser to help him to that chance than to take the dire conse- quences to his not getting it. ‘Why would not a government army of industry be fully as creditable an establishment as a government army of professional killers? If the latter is necessary to cope with rare emer- gencies when killing is requisite for public safety, why not the former, for emergencies much more frequent, in which the public safety is at least equally concerned? Think it over. It may be we made fun of Coxey when the joke was really on us.—Wisconsin State Journal. Plonle Problem Solved. A mnest of cups which take up Hv. tle room in the picnic basket seems to be the solution of & familiar problem. These are made of aluminum, the light- est material from which such things are made, and the cups are practically Indestructible. They are fitted snugly one into the other, and a cover fits the largest one so that when not in use the whole set of six is kept clean and free from dust. Aliminum does not rust or tarnish like tin or silver, 80 that it i8 particularly desirable for articles of this kind. Also it is thin, and in spite of the fact that there are #ix cups in the nest there is not a very great difference between the sizea ::..t‘he largest and the smallest of . “Ad-RgaderS; Incorporated” You may all be stockholders in the above corporation, share its benefits, and enjoy its dividends, by complying ‘with the following | requirements: B I Invest each day in some sound and reliable newspaper like THE PIONEER. 11, Study the advertisements carefully and discuss them with other members of your family.

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.” 5 . “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.

Yet he was barn in Philadelphia, 1853, of good American stock, one of three artistic brothers, the youngest of ‘whom~ died -years-ago. The other Birge is an able landscape and figure painter, who not in frequently paints the sea;as well. Alexander, as:a very young man, was..a .memher of ‘the United States Coast Survey, working along the Pacific shores;-when the art career first appealed to him, and he threw up his commission to enter the schools of ‘San Francisco. From there he went to Paris and entered the stu- dio of J. L. Gerome in the Ecole des Beaux Arts. But he spent most of his time studying nature. He painted landscapes and figures. And with the latter he had a big success, his picture “En - Arcadie” being ~after- ward bought by the French govern- ment ‘for the Musee of. the Luxem- bourg. 4 His recognition was almost instan- taneous. Honors were heaped upon ‘him, among them being the ribbon of the Legion of Honor (he has the Grand Cross ‘of the order new), to- gether with membership in many Eu- ropean academies and art societies in Munich, Berlin, London, and else- where. He was also awarded gold medals abroad and at home, -and his sea pictures may be said to have changed the method of modern sea painting. An intimacy with Jules Bastien- Lepage, the French painter, had some influence on his style, and he travel- ed extensively throughout the Cont- itinent studying the various galleries. A tall, distinguished looking man, with a large amount of energy and enthusiasm, he worked continuously out of doors with great success, and later had a large class of students with a host of followers, not to say imitators. Harrison was one of the first of the modern_men in the early '80’s to get the real feeling -of diffused light out And-let us say right here that the equipment is complete—the car as you buy it is ready for an hour’s run or a week’s tour without the addition. of " An inspection: of ‘the Krit will reveal much: to you; and a demonstration .of its silent and gener- ous power and its easy riding and. comfort on . the road will more than satisfy you that you will be right in choosing the Krit, Remember that we, the Northwestern Distribu-~ tors, have sold automobiles since 1900, have han- dled a larger number of automobiles than any two distributors in this territory put togetuer, and that we-couldn’t afford to back up-every claim-made-for-| the K-R-I-T unless we’had thoroughly satisfied our- serves, after a most searching fnvestigation, that it Some. of the best-towns are atill: opem 18 taken.

Yet at that time he was a leader; and his pictures made spots in the exhibition, causing others by their side to appear dull and unin- spired. He was particularly good in rendering the effects of early moon- rise over the water. His painting of surf came as a revelation to eyes ac- customed to the old-fashioned man- ner of presenting it. Never a clever workman, he ob- tained that which he sought by the hardest kind labor and application, and he worked a picture over and over until the result was satisfactory. Much of his painting has been done along the coast of Britany. Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in The Pioneer.
