' Some way of another, we believe we've seen this great old world from 8 great many different angles—some more pleasant than others, to be lju'e—lnd while we don’t possess any medals ‘mor certificates for being anything as a moralist, we've made a few m‘anul observations in Bemidji and believe that Bemidiji boys are pretty good boys—no dit_lerent than the general run of youngsters—just boys, same as you and we were. But— " If you are a father, are you acquainted with your boy’s chum? Do you know him to be fit company for your son? Every normal boy has singled out from his friends and acquaintances one particular chum. This chum is his “other self,” all of the “other self” he will have until years of maturity develop in him the sex attraction. . 'If you have studied boy nature, or even if you can recall your own boyhood days, you must, know that they are the days wherein ,the lasting Jimpressions of life are formed. It is also the period when the domination of a strong personality is most potent for good or evil over a weaker or " -more plastic nature. Have you studied your boy’s chum? It may be almost as necessary as a study of the boy himself. Is that chum all you could wish him to be? Is he stronger, or weaker, or purpose and character than your boy? If stronger, all the moré reason for you to know his real character, for he is as sure to impress his personality upon your son as that strength over- * comes weakness. The boy rarely develops habits or traits of character acquired from mere chance acquaintances or from strangers. It is from his intimates that he absorbs ideas that become fixed in the mind and develop into char- acter. .Hence the imperative necessity that those intimates be of right character. 2 h Some think it is a risky business to attempt to regulate a son’s friendships. Admittedly so, yet you have it in your power to in a large . degree control the matter. Every normal boy has great respect for his father, father is deserving of his respect. The first step, therefore, is to secure and deserve the boy’s confidence. This accomplished, a little tactful con- sideration on your part, together with a personal interest in his everyday life, ought to give you control of the situation.’ But the surest way to control the matter is to constitute yourself the boy’s chum. This can be done if the *matter is taken in hand early in the boy’s life. . ) To every young boy his father is a model of perfection. His first boyish ambition is to imitate father. If that father is deserving of imita- tion and will cultivate his boy’s confidence, the problem is solved. Every father should seek first place in his boy’s confidence. He should make certain that he stands higher-in the boy’s regard than all others. And as the years pass he should see to it that the bond is strength- ened instead of weakened. But this can only be done by fully entering into the life of the boy and by making his life your life. It will pay better than any other investment you can make. In the north part of Bemidji there lives a woman who aspires to be in what some please to term ‘‘society” (whatever that is) and we under- stand last Sunday evening she received an invitation out for dinner at a certain house and of course she took along friend husband. The hostess put on all the ‘‘dog” she could and had the table arranged just like 1t said in the book on etiquette and finally the family and guests were seated. Things got along all right, seemingly, and the fair guest with the social aspirations was putting it over the plate every throw. Friend husband was struggling along under a hot collar but never - faltered until the hostess asked him, “Do you like charlotte russe?” And the big boob an- swered— : “Don’t know. I never met the lady.” Here's a guiet tip to the wives of Bemidji: When your husband be- gins to treat you with unusual consideration it’s time to make an investi- gation of his pockets. The school scrap is getting worser and worser, isn’t it 2—Baudette Region. It “squirtainly” is.” Fellow wanted to kill us the other day but we told him we weren’t fit to die. And do you know he agreed with us for once. Yes, we are quite, neutral, until it pleases us to become otherwise. And we PLEASE when we PLEASE. We just can’t refrain from mentioning Carranza again, but he is worth pnly a line or two at best. ‘Will it go into history as an investigating committee or as an inves- tigated one? Villa must be getting dippy. He has completely forgotten to die again. i m———— e —— ' THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER " Fine Kidney Medicine ‘We have been selling Dr. Kilmer’'s Swamp-Root for the past'seven years and during that time we have neve! heard a complaint.
