Hart has, until recently, been re- siding in St. Paul where he has done considerable boxing. He has battled in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth and in each of these engagements met tough ones, winning handily, by the kayo in each instance. In Mikesh, Hart meets a tough one who has a wide reputation as a fighter, wrestler and all around athlete and Hart is giving away weight in the match. Hart is a Bemidji boy who moved to St. Paul and recently returned.lning on business.

Kicked! Just plain kicked again! . If.the American people have no pride left—if the honor of our coun- try and the lives of our people mean nothing—WHAT ABOUT THE AM- ERICAN POCKETBOOK? Even the most craven wretch on earth is sen- sitive to the welfare of his purse. It would be of interest to know just what this Mexican flasco is cost- ing the country per day. With Pershing and his twelve thousand men in Mexico, with thousands and thousands of National Guardsmen sucking their thumbs on the border, with every available officer and man in the regular army doing police duty along the Rio Grande, the cost is piling . away up into the millions. The American, taxpayer is putting up this money and he gets nothing in return for it. He doesn’t even gain the respect of other countries and other peoples. Two facts are self evident. if he would; he hasn’t the inclination to do so if he could. proven the truth of both of these statements. Another one: Carranza hasn't the power to protect American lives and American property in Mexico. And he wouldn’t if he could, for Car- ranza is a Mexican of Mexicans, as stubborn as a mule and as blind as a bat to all things except his own assininity. And jet we wheadle and dawdle and palaver! We keep an army on a war footing at enormous expense to the tax- payers, and yet we are not at war; we haven’t even at enemy at whom we can consistently point a gun. Because neither congress nor our gov-| ernment officials seem willing to admit the fact that conditions exist right in our back yard that would have started the guns of other nations to belching fire and-lead years ago. - _ But one thing is evident, and from that we can not escape. The bills are piling up and we taxpayers have to meet them. In plain street parlance, we have to dig down and whack up. General Pershing was sent into Mexico to capture a notorious brigand who was at least responsible for the shooting up of an American town and the slaughter of American citizens. By order of our government Persh- ing’s army is cooped up in camp and not allowed to make a move, while this same brigand has been snapping his fingers at them and capturing towns under their noses and making himself ruler of all northern Mexico. Great, isn’t, MR. TAXPAYER? ‘We have had so many fool moves in connection with Mexico that we are wondering what the next one will be, and when it will be. The people of this country do not thirst for war with Mexico, but they do want justice, and the time is coming when they will demand it in no uncertain terms. And, too, the people are becoming tired of paying taxes for the pur- pose of keeping a big army on the border when that army has nothing more exciting to do than to play baseball and leap frog. ‘We love peace as ardently as any red blooded human, but we are rapidly coming to the conclusion that the only thing left for us to do is to go into Mexico with a gun in one hand and a scrub broom in the other. Carranza hasn’t the power to take Villa Time has THINKS IT A FINE IDEA. The Bemidji Pioneer suggests that public officials who tcel bigszer than the taxpayers be dropped into the scrap heap. Fine idea. In the scrap they are certain to get some of the ego knocked out of them.-—St. Paul Pioneer Press. The new editor of the Bemidji Pioneer is after the scalp of some one or th_e other of the county officials, but fails to specify which one. Name him out, tell what he’s guilty of, and clear the skirts of the rest of the suspicion engendered by such lack of directness.—Williams Northern Light. That’s news to us. We can remember, and we're not so old at that, when it wasn’t con- sidered anything unusual for a woman to gather her skirt up and wrap it around her to keep warm. But if any woman in Bemidji would do that today some boob would send in a call for Chief Ripple. Beltrami county might be wet all flgfit, all right, but the trouble is it’s frozen up so doggone tight it requires a four-foot saw and an axe and the Lord only knows how much energy to get a chance to irrigate one’s self. VThe I. W. W. strikers in their grievances for their strike in the lum- ber camps at Gemmell complain of the board. We have always been labor- ing under the impression most any kind of board could be had in a lumber ‘works. . A dispatch from Washington says the new one dollar silver coins have heen issued from the government mint. Here’s hoping we have better Tuck in getting hold of some of them than we have had with the old ones. Well, judge, we have been waiting patiently and worn our “lid” up on one side but haven’t as yet heard any one murmur anything that sounded like “Have one?” And maybe some of the board the I. W. W. strikers complain of at the Gemmell lumber camps did have a few knot holes in it. The United States government has decided to prosecute the paper trust. AMEN! Greatly Redaced Size. " Full Size, 7 x 9:1 KING JAMES VI, OF SCOTLAND, PAID THE PRICE OF 14 OXEN FOR ONE «“SANGE BOOK” IN 1489 That royalty itself encouraged the native bards and minstrels as far back as the fifteenth century, we have positive proof. In 1849 the following item appears in the accounts of the Lord High Treas- urer of Scotland, during the reign of James IV: «1489. July 1. Item, to Wilzeum, Sangster of Lithgow, for a sange- booke he brocht to the King by a precept, x. 1i.” This sum was about the value of fourteen oxen in those times, which shows a high appreciation of music on the part of the Scottish monarch. Based on this valuation, “Heart Songs”—the most won- derful of modern song books, would be worth a whole cattle ranch in Texas, land and all. —————————————————————————————— NOT an ordinary song collection, but a four yéars’ song gathering from 20,060 music lovers, who sent in their favorites. 16 Full-page Beautiful Half-tone Portraits of the Greatest Singers Elaborate Dictionary of Musical Terms Excels all other Song Books in completeness and ac- curdcy.

WILSON NOW HAS LAST WORD ON WHITE HOUSE GUESTS (By United Press) Washington, Jan. 8.—Mrs. Wilson today is the ‘‘ultimate authority” on all invitations to White House social functions. For the first time in years, management of these events has been transferred from the execu- tive offices to the mansion proper. As a result, the number of invited guests to the state events has fallen off between fifty and sixty per cent. Incidentally the new regime has brought joy and peace to the minds of assistant secretaries in the busi- ness wing of the White House. In the past, the functions given by the president have been ,attended about equally by those on the regular ‘White House lists and by those who request special invitations. Each reception is ‘preceded by letters and phone calls from senators, congress- men and others, appealing in behalf of themselves, or others, for precious cards of admission. Now it’s all changed. The assist- ants merely refer those asking invi- tations, directly to Mrs. Wilson or her secretary, Miss Edith Benham. Hence the big reduction in guests, noted for the first time at the ju- dicial reception. 3 d sk s ok sk ok ok ok ke PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS EXXKKK KKK KKK * DRS.
