This Is A Bid For Your Patronage E. F. NETZER Bemidji GOBB [N 400 CLASS By GEORGE R. HOLMS. Pretty races for batting honors in three leagues are being run this sea- son. No one player has been able to get to the top of the heap and stay there consistently, always excepting of course, the effervescent Cobb who would feel lost in any position than the fopmost pinnacle. In the National league, Jake Dau- bert of the Dodgers, Fred Luderus of the Phillies, Fred Merkle and Larry Doyle of the Giants, are all battling for the leadership on com- paratively even terms. The positions have been changing each week, but Daubert has generally managed to stay out in front by a few points. Strange to say, Chicago, which has been leading the league in club bat- ting, hasn’t a man that is battling among the real top-notchers. Vic Commencing Thursday July 22nd WILL SERVE Special Dinners 25c¢c SOMETHING NEW THE GRAND GENTRAL Saier has been leading his mates, but his average generally has ranged around .300, or slightly above. On the other hand, New York has been hitting fairly consistently as a club, standing second in the recent aver- ages, and has been in the second divi- sion almost all season. The race isn’t so hot in the Amer- ican league now as it was. Mr. Cobb, after looking over the field, de- cided that he would show the bunch'| some real speed and immediately started climbing to and above .400 around which he has hung consistent- ly. Joe Jackson, Cobb’s annual rival, Monsieur Jacques Fournier, the season’s slugging sensation, and O’ Sam Crawford, whom the experts have had slipping for the last 10 years, have been battling closely for secondary honors. Whether the pitching in the Johnson loop is off- color this season, or the boys are hitting harder, the fact remains there are more than the usual number of .300, clouters. The Feds have been offering a ‘unique race—three men on the same club have been leading the league all season, or rather, they were, un- til the Brookfeds disposed of Steve Evans to Baltimore a short time ago. Manager Lee MaGee, Bennie Kauff and Evans were the three best in the Gilmore circuit a long time, and MaGee and Kauff continue to set the pace. Evatis has fallen badly since he left Brooklyn. The critics can hardly sneer at the Federal Music every day from [1:45 & m, fo 1:30 p. m Bemidji Band Orchestrajwsn L. W.

Hope I was back in dear old New York.” Such was the commeént on a postal card mailed at the Markham hotel yesterday. We presume that the ex- pression “hope I was back in dear old New York,” means “I wish I was back in dear old ‘New York.” The writer of the note, a real curiosity, attracted much attention during his short stay in Bemidji, and no regret was caused by his departure. Anyway it pays to advertise and his eastern friends will probably greet him “in dear old New York” as a returning hero be- cause of his bravery displayed in venturing into the ‘“‘terrible wilder- ness of Northern Minnesota.” SCOTTISH SOCIETIES WILL HONOR BURNS .

TO END CHILD LABOR IN UNITED STATES (Continuea from Fage 1.) nected with his office; and.a bill in- troduced at the former session of the legislature, which passed the house, proposes to abolish his office alto- gether. I believe that the sober sec- ond thought of the people of Ala- bama will express itself emphatically against such a proposition, but the _| very threat of it shows the necessity for constant vigilance so long as the enforcement of child labor regula- tion depends upon the prevarious will of state legislative bodies. Prospects Are Excellent. “I regard the prospect of the Fed- eral child labor bill at the next ses- | sion of congress as excellent. The ma- Jority for it in the house, which was 233 to 43 in the last congress, will be substantially increased; and I have reason td believe that nine- tenths of the senate is in faver of the measure. -With a good start early in the session of congress; it will be impossiblé for a single ob- jector tohold it up this tirmie as Sen- ‘ator Overman did in the ~ expiri The Glad Hand. ‘We are not isolated units in this uni- verse of eurs. We are all of us mem- bers of a great world community. Al of us are 8o constituted that our wel- fare and our happiness depend on the maintenance of good will with others. To a great extent, however, we al- ways have it in our power to deter- mine just what the attitude of others toward us shall be. . ‘We have this power by virtue of the fact that the human mind tends to be swayed in its critical judgments by the character of the emotional moods ex- perienced. People usually think exact- ly as they feel. Hence the value ofthe glad hand. The cordial greeting, the cheery smile, the display of genuine interest—all these help to create pleasurable moods in other persons, and consequently pre- possess them in our favor. ‘Whereas the .cold, indifferent ap- proach, the flabby handshake and the languid air arouse feelings of antago- nism, if not of suspicion and aversion, —H. Addington Bruce in Kansas City Star. § Perfect Pitch. A fairly large number of people are gifted with a good ear for music, and their friends think it quite wonderful that they are able to play or whistle tunes which they. have heard only once. But this gift, however remarkable it may seem, is by no means extraordi- nary or exceptional, especially when compared with the possession of what is called an “ear of absolute pitch.” This means that the person possessing it is able to stand away from the piano and tell you what note you are playing or in what key. One well known lady planist is able to read over the score of a plece of music in the train or omni- bus, leave the book behind her and yet play the whole piece through by mem- ory when she reaches home. Perfect pitch is a gift to some peo- ple, but it can be acquired. Indeed, many authorities say that to be a real- ly great musician this power must be possessed.—London Answers. Signatures and Sigris. Walter Crane’s signature—a crane impaled on a W—reminds us that other English artists have adopted queer “beasties” to form their signature. There was Richard Doyle, for instance, who among his friends and in his sig- nature pretended only to be “Dicky,” for you will find in the corner of many, of his Punch drawings a “D” with a very perky looking bird standing there- on. But Whistler’s was the most fa- mous, though somewhat incongruous. His sign manual often took the shape of a butterfly, though a wasp would have expressed him better, for he was not. only an artist, but the author of “The Gentle Art of Making Enemies.” And there are many who cherish en- velopes from Professor Blackie with the Greek scrawl meaning “Tell the truth in love.”—London Spectator. -+ A Land Without Flies. It should be refreshing and a bit en- couraging to the fatigued, hopeless fly fighters .to know that there is in'the world a country in which there aremo flies: The place is the British West Indies. This interesting fact—that there are no flies in British West In- dies—starts up a number of guestions and curious conjectures. Why isxit that they have no flies? Is it that they have lost the seed, or is it that they have some active parasite or an- imal that feeds on flies, like the South American ant eater, for instance? Cer- tainly it is not that they have :no filth.« They have heat and moisture, and, if rumor has it true, they have all the filth that is necessary. That these three conditions can exist without any fiies 18 what we do. not understand.— North Carolina Health Board Report. Parliamentary - Frontiers. On efther side of the commons cham- ber of Great Britain’s parliament house there is a distinct line along the floor, and any member who when speaking steps outside the line on his side is lia- ble to be called to order. These lines are supposed to be scientific frontiers, and the neutral zone between is be- yond the length of a sword thrust, and, although members no longer wear swords, except those who are selected to move and second addresses to the throne on certain occasions, the old precaution still lingers on.—Westmin- ster Gazette. g 8till In Doubt. “Why don’t you marry, old chap?” “Do you think a man could procure all the necessaries of life on $1,800 a year?” “Of course, but not the luxuries.” “Well, I haven’t decided yet whether ® wife is a necessity or a luxury.”— Boston Transcript. geon English.
