VOLUME 12, No. 162. EFFICIENCY IN HOME MANAGEMENT, NEED Woman Beginning’ to Realize More and More Its Needs, Says Mrs. Lamoreaux--Should Have System UNDERESTIMATE VALUE OF TIME Daily Routine Should be Divided in Such a Manner as to Best Gain Ad- vantage of Each Week Day. In another interesting article on the ¢Food Problem,” which is being 80 splendidly discussed by Mrs. L. P. Lamoreaux, a home economics stu- dent of this city, for the Pioneer read- ers, the value of “Household Effi- ciency” is discussed. ,In this connection Mrs. Lamoreaux says. Household Efficiency. “Women are beginning to realize more and more their need of personal efficiency in home management. Ef- ficiency does not mean a great deal of system, nor does it mean ‘keeping busy all the time,” but simply doing one’s work in the easiest, quickest and best way, while it provides a fixed amount of time for rest and re- creation, as well as work. Without this spare time, the daily work be- “omes drudgery. “Nearly all women underestimate the value of their time. If an un- educated domestic receives ten cents an hour for her services, besides her food and lodging, surely the house- keeper’s time should far exceed that amount. Have You Determined? ‘“Have you ever determined whe- ther or not it was cheaper for you to make your bread or buy it? Have you ever estimated just how many useless steps you take during the day, how many trips up and down the stairs when a little planning might have eliminated the unnecessary ex- ercise? How many women divide their day into certain periods for meals, rest, recreation and planning? Watch yourself several days and es- timate your wasted time. ‘“Then divide your daily routine in such a way that you have a certain amount of time for cooking, mend- ing, sweeping, marketing and "so forth. Some women have found it more convenient to wash on Tues- day, reserving Monday for brushing up after Sunday, mending the soiled clothes, soaking them and preparing Tuesday’'s meals in advance. Then Wednesday can be “ironing day,” and Thursday reserved for sewing, Friday for baking, and cleaning the bedrooms and marketing; and Satur- day for the usual cleaning and cook- ing. Buy In Large Quantities. “Some find it a good plan to visit their refrigerators and pantries each morning and planning the meals with consideration to the supplies, making memoranda of needed articles. “‘Buy your groceries and staples in large quantities as far as possible, saving money, the chance of being without supplies when needed and the time lost in procuring them. Laundry soap and canned food can be bought by the dozen, thus saving several cents on each bar or can. ‘‘Some authorities advocate keep- ing a time-table of all cooked foods so that by a glance one can estimate the amount of time consumed in pre- paring a certain meal. And another idea—go through your cook book, and after each recipe jot down the number it will serve, and the approxi- mate cost. The number it will serve will avoid waste in preparation, and the cost will help to keep expenses low. .Is Step Saver. “A kitchen cabinet is one of the very best forms of ‘step-saver.” Put casters on your kitchen table so that you can roll it near the stove or sink as needed. Seek compactness at all times, but avoid crowding. Have a place for everything and try to keep all utensils above the table level to avoid so much stooping. Simplify your table service and dishwashing by serving food as far as possible in the dishes in which they are cooked, through the use of casseroles and earthenware ramequins. Ask These Questions. “Much wasted time can be traced to the following causes. Ask your- self these questions and you can real- ize at once the advantage of a little applied efficiency:; Do you have all the necessary tools- and utensils at hand before you begin to work? Do you ever stop in the middle of one task and start to do something en- tirely unrelated? Do you lose time putting tools or work away? Is your kitchen and everything in it arrang- ed so as to save unnecessary steps? Do you work at a table or sink Do you use a poor tool or a wrong one? Do you work at a table or sink the wrong height from the floor? Do you loose time by not keeping suf- ficient supplies at hand? Do you a R E SRR EE LN T & “WILL APPEAR HERE TONIGHT * KRKE K KKK KKK K * Agricultural at University . Cut to One Week. VWil BE EELD JANUARY 49 The annual short course for farm- ers and homemakers at the Univer- sity of Minnésota this year promises to surpass anything of its kind in former years. Several radical chan- ges have been instituted. The coutse instead of extending for. a month, will be given in a single week.. The dates have been fixed for the week of January 4 to 9. The instruction will be given in the building regul- arly occupied by the students of the College of Agriculture and the Min- nesota school of agriculture. Farmers attending the holiday short course will-have the entire equipment and teaching force to themselves. The term is a vacation period for the regular students. At the meeting of the university agricultural authorities yesterdsy, one of the most striking innovations for the year was decided upon. No fees will be charged for the course. Accommodations for meals will be provided for by the university equip- ment as far as possible. No previous requirements are necessary to regis— ter for the courses. The instruction will be practical in every respect. Farm instruction in general including matters will be the subjects of study. The bulletin JOHN F. CHAMBERS. Well Known Interpreter Who Will Open Redpath Series at Metho- dist Church Auditorium. CHAMBERS HERE TONIGHT Lyceum Course of Woman’s Study Club to Begin This Evening When Famous Interpreter Will Appear. HAS NATION-WIDE REPUTATION |course is expected: to. appear within a few weeks. i In connection with the .short courses many of the organized move- ments for the bedefit of the farmers are planning to hold conventions and annual meetings. In addition to the regular work the visitors will be given an opportunity to see the places of interest in the twin cities. The keynote of the week will be sounded on the opening day:when a monster rally of all the prominent farming interests in the state will be held. It is expected that the large audi- torium of the Methodist church will be filled to its capacity this evening when John F. Chambers appears. Chambers is cne of the nation’s best known and most highly regarded ly- ceum stage interpreters and is brought to Bemidji as the first num- ber of the Redpath bureau series, which is to be given in Bemidji dur- ing this winter, under the auspices of the Woman’s Study club. ~ There is no more difficult thing than to set one’s own individuality aside and be somebody else, but that is the very thing that John F. Cham- bers does in his lyceum work. Not only does Mr. Chami sume the character of others, but in the delivery of a play, such as a Grand Army Man, he impersonates a dozen or fifteen different characters, and he does this so well that it is difficult to believe that it is all done by one and the same person. The next number of the Redpath series will be given January 15 when the @Gavaliers will appear. PLANS TAKE SHAPE. University Home-Goming Program Being Arranged. The. plans-of -the All-University Council of the University of Minne- sota for the home-coming on Novem- ber 14 are beginning to take shape. The program for the day as it is now determined will be as follows: From 9 to 11, sightseeing tours of the Uni- versity campus. At noon there will be a special convocation in the Ar- mory in honor of the returned gradu- ates and former students. At the noon hour the alumni will be given the first chance to get luncheon at the Minnesota Union building, it be- ing understood that the students will wait until the alumni have been sery- ed. The football game between Min- nesota and Wisconsin will be called at two o'clock. Immediately after the game there wilt-be a trolley ride to the campus. 4 keep your utensils and tools in good working condition? “With modern improvements and a little careful thought one ought to be able to save a great deal of time and energy in a single day’s work.

If the children of the Bowers school in the town of Eckles had the naming of the first senator from the sixty-second legislative district their selection would be Leonard H. Nord. This fact was evidenced by a straw vote which was held at the school, over which J. C. McGhee presides, this morning. The vote resulted as follows: Congress, Lindbergh 10, DuBois, 1, Thompson 3, Sharkey 1; senate, Wilson 4, Nord 7, Webber 5; representative, Pendergast 1, Wil- liams 4, Erickson 11; auditor, George 10, Tenem b5; treasurer, Geil 8, Alsop 4; attorney, Torrance 9, Funkley 6; clerk of court, Rhoda 4, Schroeder 11; school superintendent, Stewart 12, Heffron 1; commissioner third district, Morrison 6, Hayes 3; governor, Lee 9, Hammond 5, Lewis 3.

Schumacher, Tenstrike Settler, Sees Bright Future for Tillers of the Soil. WILL S00N HAVE MOLDEL FARM R. E. Schumacher, of 8t. Peter, Minnesota, has taken possession of ‘a half section of land two miles from Tenstrike and has engaged a erew of men to clear it of stumps and pre- pare the land for cultivation. i Mr. Schumacher is a young man in. years, but has considerable experi- ence and predictions are that he will have an ideal farm in that - com- munity within the next few years. “ ‘Back to the soil,’ is a phrase we hear all over the country and I feel ‘that in a short time the farmer will be placed on a footing,.giving him equal rank, if not superior, to any business institution in the cities,” said Mr. Schumacher in apeaklng of his new undertaking. Officials Here Last Night. Charles Keller, state fire marshal, and Sam Fullerton, chief deputy fire marshal, were in Bemidji last evening enroute to their homes in St. Paul where they will vote. today. Both men have been at Cags Lake where they spent the past few days hunting. They expect to return following the election.

Aspirants for County Office File Expense Statements. -:Every one of the twenty-six can- didates for office in Beltrami county have complied with the law relative to. the filing of campaign expense statements, said James L. George, county auditor this morning. This number -includes all who are on the county ticket with the exception of the senatorial candidates who are running in two counties, or a district, and file with the state treasurer. MARKHAM TO HAVE RETURNS Hotel Will Provide Bulletins Showing Election Results. Knowing the anxiety which always awaits the issuing of election re- turns, Frank S. Lycan, proprietor of the Markham hotel, has arranged for a bulletin service at the hotel lobby this evening. As the state and coun- ty returns are. received in Bemidji they will be posted at the Markham and close count on the progress of the battle of ballots registered. Mr. Lycan will be assisted in announcing results by the service of the Daily Pioneer. RETURNS WITH PRISONER. George Denley, deputy sheriff, re- turned last evening from Interna- tional Falls where he went yesterday morning to get Ed Wilson, who had been arrested by the police of that city following notice from here.

Much Smaller Than Expected . Because of Weather Conditions SEVERAL FIGHTS TO BE CLOSE Candidates Glzu . Campaigns and Await Decision of Citizens—Sev- 3 eral Amendments May Win. Each one confident of success at 'the polls today, the candidates for the various county and state offices closed their campaigns last -evening. There are several fights, in _both county, district =nd state which are certain to be close, being those of governor, senator from the sixty-sec- jond legislative district and in Bel~ trami county alone, in several in- stances, namely, county attorney and register cf deeds. Light Vote Expected. B It is expected that today’s weather conditions will cut the county vote somewhat, rain making it disagree- able for many farmers to journey any distance to cast their ballots. In addition to this there appears to be a certain lack of interest. In sev- eral wards of the city the vote was unusually light at ncon teday. o Today the voters of Minnesota will = decide whether they prefer Winfleld S. Hammond of St. James, or William E. Lee of Long Prairie for governor. = The former is a Democrat and the latter a Republican but the politics S of the candidates has cut little figure in the campaign. Both feel certain of victory, Has Influenced Fight. The action of the legislature at its last session in placing candidates for membership in that body as well as i county officials on the non-partisan i ticket has had considerable influence C— on the fight for the governorghip. Party labels having been abandongd in all local contests, the influgnce of the state organizations has not hon felt in the smaller communities; lu, the average voter will cast his ballot for the man he prefers and mot-the - v oA party. Polls Open From 6 to 9. $ In all cities the polls will be open from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m. In the towns villages the polls open at 9 a. m. and close at 9 p. m. There are four other candidates for governor, but these men are not expected to poll over 60,000 to 75,000 votes between them. They are W. G. Calderwood, Prohibition; Tom Lewis, Socialist; Hugh T. Halbert, Progressive, 'and Herbert Johnson, : Independent Labor. May Get 50,000. Calderwood and Lewis are expected to get about 50,000. Two years ago E. E. Lobeck, Prohibition nominee, got 29,000, but he was considered stronger than Calderwood is now. David Morgan, Socialist, in 1912 got 25,000. Lewis may increase this slightly. The Socialist vote is fairly steady. P. V. Collins, Progressive, in 1912 polled 33,000. But he had the as- sistance of Theodore Roosevelt, who e E— carried the state. It is doubtful whether Halbert will get more than 10,000 this year, and that will not be sufficient to maintain the party organization’s legal standing. Her- bert Johnson is heading a new party 2 and it is not expected to cut any | — figure. Concede Ticket’s Victory. It is generally conceded that out- side of the governorship the entire Republican state ti¢ket will be elected with pluralities ranging from 30,000 to 50,000. These nominees are: J. A. A. Burnquist. lieutenant gov- ernor. J. A. 0. Preus, auditor. Walter J. Smith, treasurer. Lyndon A. Smith, attorney gen- eral. 1. A. Caswell, clerk of the supreme court. z 0. P. B. Jacobson, railroad and ‘warehouse commissioner. Julius A. Schmahl, - secretary of state. z Contest Over Judgeship. The only other state contest is a non-partisan one between Justice George L. Bunn and Judge Albert Johnson for the vacant seat on the supreme bench. Justice Bunn has held the place for four years and fis considered one of the ablest jurists — who has ever sat on the supreme - bench. - He is supported by the law- i) yers of standing in the state and his | victory seems sure. 1 It is expected that only one or two amendments will be adopted.
