The ran- ges had a pretty well-defined grudge with the former executive agent. They do not want one with the new. Mr. Avery has the reputation of be- ing a man of fine ability and is said to be genuinely interested in the conservation of Minnesota’s game and fish. He says he wants to co- operate with the sportsmen of the state, which is a good introduction. The ranges will welcome Mr. Avery at any time. They have lots of things to tell him. They want to be disclosures show that in'this num? ber are many hardened ‘“habitual’’ criminals. Hence the city now sees ones answer to the epidemic of ‘‘stickups,” murders, burglaries. and many other crimes with ‘which it is afflicted. And the city literally takes itself home to bed via the mid- dle of ‘the road, lest thugs waylay, assault and rob, perhaps murder. THE NUMBER FORTY MUST HAVE MEANING| Have you ever noticed anything peculiar about the number forty? These figures seem to have had an| unusual bearing on events, both past and present. We all know the story of the; “forty” thieves, and the old verse of | the “forty” flags. Then there are the | members of the French academy known as the “forty’” immortals; and the old slang of ‘“going some” was| “going’ like forty.” But the most interesting list of oc- curences in which this mysterious “forty” is to be found in the Bible, GET TO THE CAUSE. Bemidji People Are Learning thei as shown in the following: § The rain that produced the flood fell for ‘forty” days and “forty” nights, and after it ceased it was “forty” days.before Noah opened the ark. Moses was “forty” days on the mountain fasting and the spies spent “forty” days investigating matters in Canaan before making their erport. | Elijah fasted “forty” days in the wilderness, -and: Jonah gave the peo- ple of Nineveh “forty’”’ days in which to repent. The ‘forty” days’ fast of Jesus is known to all readers of the New Testament. . The Bible is always interesting, but the one distributed by The Pioneer has an added feature of interest in its magnificent illustrations. Besides these which are printed with the text matter and which were prepared at an expense of $50,000 there are nu- merous full page color plates from the world famous. Tissot collection. All of these “eye-teaching” pictures have a direct reference to the verse which they accompany, which cannot e said of any other Bible.

Bemidji will within the next month be the scene of a giant “Cleanup and Paintup” campaign, which, when completed, will add to the city’s natural beauty and re- move many eye-sores which have ex- isted previously.

CRIMINALS RELEASED ON PROBATION Chicago, April 2.—Crime-swept Chicago is today finding a new source of danger—criminals who should be behind the bars, but who through misapplication of the probation law, find themselves free. This misuse of the rule which permits first offenders only to have a second chance comes about in several ways. In many in- stances, lawyers misrepresent the status of their clients. In the rush of business, a -probation officer. ac- cepts the lawyer’s word that the pris- oner is a first-timer. The man on probation mingles back into the life of the city, pei-ha.ps changes some of his haunts and his home, but con- tinues his career of crime. Again, this city has only twenty probation officers to deal with hun- dreds of cases. Half their time must be in court. During the remainder of their day they are supposed to visit probationers, for the law says they must make this call at least There is but little peace or com- fort for the man or woman with a bad back. The distress begins in | early morning—Xkeeps up throughout the day. It’s hard to get out of bed, it’s torture to stoop or straighten. Plasters and liniments may relieve, but cannot cure if the cause is in-| silde—the kidneys. When suffering 80, use Doan’s Kidney Pills, the test- ‘ed and .proven kidney remedy, used in kidney troubles for over 50 years. Doan’s Kidney Pills are recommended by thousands for just such -cases. Proof of their effectiveness in the tes- i timony of this Bemidji resident: i . Mrs. Henry Revair, 342 Minnesota Ave, Bemidji, says: *“I was so bad with backache that I could hardly do! anything. I had a dull, steady pain in the small of my back which was always worse if I did any bending. A couple of boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills put an end to the trouble, and I have never had a return attack. Another of the family complained of backache and suffered severely. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon made this one all right.” 1 Price 50c¢, at all dealers. Don’t there was no Christian ftruce. A letter written by a German officer to the British battalion occupying that particular line, a copy of which has just reached London from the offi- cer who received it, explains the rea- son. 1 ‘““‘Gentlemen,” wrote the German, “you asked us yesterday temporarily to suspend hostilities and to become friends during Christmas. proposal in the past would have been accepted with pleasure, but at the present time, when we have clearly recognized England’s real character, we refuse to make any |such agreement. “Although we do not doubt ‘that you are men of honor, yet every feeling of ours revolts against any friendly intercourse towards the sub- jects of a nation which for years has, in underhand ways, sought the friendship of all other nations, so| that with their help they might an- nihilate-us; a nation also which, while professing Christianity, is not|{: ashamed to use dum-dum bullets; and whose greatest pleasure would be to see the political disappearance and Such a| old size. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful of ordinary tobacco. Just nibble on it until you find vthe strength chew that suits you. Tuck it away. Then let it rest. See how easily and evenly the real tobacco taste comes, hovwr it satisfies without grinding, how much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to be tobacco satisfied. That’s why it is The Real Tobacce Chew. That’s why it costs less in the end. It is a ready chew, cut fine and short shred so that you won't have 2 to grind on it with your tecth. Grinding on ordinary candicd tobacco - &> makes you spit too much, The taste of pure, rich tobacco does not need to be covered up with molasses and Bicorice. Notice how the salt brings out the rich tobscoo taste in *“Right-Cut.” ‘ One small chew takes the place of two big | chews of the old kind. ! -WEYMAN-BRUTON COMPANY | S50 Union Square, New York BUY FROM DEALER OR SEND 10$STAMPS TO US.
