st 4 'mfif G o with Words and AR A THE PIONEER Distribution Offer of ‘HEART SONGS' is becoming famaus. It is the most talked of event in our office for years. People everywhere are cut- ting out coupons—bringing them in crowds—and flooding the mails with orders. “They sang of love, and not of fame; Forgot was Britain’s glory; Each heart recalled a different name, But all sang ‘Annie Laurie’. ’ 99 If you were asked to name the song — words and music—that lay nearest the hearts of the - English-speaking people all over the world— some 200 millions of them—what would you answer? -Probably you’d have to give it up! Joe Mitchell Chapple, however, the man whose brain first conceived *“Heart Songs,” " could come nearer giving the correct answer than any other living man. Heé would tell you that the song was “Annie Laurie.” The 20,000 votes he received from every country where the English speech prevails, lead him _to say in his preface to that wonderful book: “‘Annie Lavrie’ is the one great inter- national favorite ballad of all English-speak- ing people.” . plete Greatbi'Redsced Size.

BE MAKES LIGHT OF FEAR It Passes, Like Seasickness; Fatigue, Easily Got Rid of—Sudden Call to Command After Superiors Have Fall- oen—That's the Great Test In This War, He Says. German newspapers are publishing conspicuously long excerpts from a book by Karl Larsen, the Danish writer, who, like Sven Hedin and Bjoern Bjoernson, two other lead- ing Scandinavian authors, spent many weeks at the German front. One of the most striking passages of Larsen’s book is his account of a con- versation with a young German infan- try officer. The Dane asked the officer: “What 18 the hardest thing in war? Is it fear?” “Fear?’ replied the officer. “Fear passes like seasickness—that is, for those who ever feel either.” “Is it fatigue?” The officer shook his head. “Fatigue and hardships settle in your limbs like vermin in clothes. Dry air, a bath, a little rest and you get rid of both.” “Well, then, what is the hardest thing in war?” Sudden Responsibility. “The ‘hardest thing,’ as you put it, is this: Somewhere you, a lieutenant, and your detachment are in the heat of battle under the most terrific drum- fire and suddenly comes the message, “The captain has fallen.’ later comes another message: ‘The first lieutenant has fallen.’ And now you have to take command of the com- pany and give orders and instructions in the midst of the continued drum- fire and in the face of a forthcoming storming attack. That iz the hardest of all things in war.” The officer took a letter from his pocket and said: “It’s the last letter from a comrade of mine who fell a few days ago. Read it.” The Danish author read: “There 18 no chance for a furlough, for me for the present; our situation on the front is too uncertain to make fur- loughs possible. If the god of battle lets me keep my health until Septem- ber I may perhaps figure on three weeks at home. Do not you, my friend, believe with me that this is tke best and most beautiful solution in my case—to, be able to remain. with the rest of us in this titanic strugglé? “This 1s as far as I could get yester- day. I am certain, by the way, that the heaviest possible fighting is at hand. Many of those who came back from furlough brought sad stories with them to the trenches, but many others had some very inspiring things to tell. Sure of Confidence. “We here at the front are ready to stick to the last, and the battles now heralded by the enemy’s fire will find most of us in the same joyous conf- dence with which we went to the front on the first day. This I can say as one who is certainly familiar with the spirit of the men, because I have grown up with these men, and I am one of them, and this in spite of the frequent change of my post and the equally frequent changes within the ranks, : “One thing all of us feel—that the opportunities for the individual man are different today from what they were two years ago. Yet the spirit of the rank and file is dpchanged. It is a good spirit, one which will bring us victory.” The officer added: . “And as long as the English fail to obtain such a result as this in the schooling of .the spirit of the simple Heutenant, the young officer who is a product of the system of universal con- scription, just so long must they be resigned to the fact that as soldiers they are behirid the Germans and the French.” fi:oooo.ooooooo,wooo TAKES COW ALONG TO PAY COLLEGE EXPENSES A Jersey cow, the property of H. F. Erdley of Hiawatha, Kan., has an intrinsic value of $300, but it would not be possible to buy her from Erdley for several times that amount. ‘A year ago Erdley sent his son John to Manhattan to attend the State Agricultural college, and he sent this cow with him. John took the cow to a Manhat- tan man, who fed it, used the milk and in return gave the boy his room and board. The board was figured as be- ing $17 a month. At the end of the school year, after figuring all expenses. Manhattan man now clsims that he is $20 to the good. ‘This year Erdley sent his son to school and with him three cows, all sisters of the one that went to college last year, and the boy now expects to return home a capitalist. * * * * * * * [ 4 * (4 » L4 * [ d [ d * * * * * * * * * * * * * P LA R R X R X R X X X X X X 000000000000 QR THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER And a littlo | R.

Nearly a half billion dollars’ worth of sugar passed through United States ports in 1916. About $230,000,000 worth of this was raw sugar from for- eign countries, chdefly Cuba; $125,000,- 000 worth of raw sugar from .American insular possessions and $100,000,000 worth of refined sugar sent out of the United States. chiefly to Europe. Big buying here by England and ether for- eign countries sent exports soaring. At the same time the per capita con- sumption here declined. A compilation by the foreign trade department of the Natbonal City bank of New York, just made public, show- ed the value of sugar exported from this country in the calendar year 1916 to be in round terms $100,000,000 against $43,000,000 worth. in 1915, $18,- 000,000 in 1914 and less than $2,000, 000 in 1918. The bank figured the consumbtion for 1916 in the United States at about eighty pounds per c¢apita as against eighty-six pounds in 1915 and eighty- nine pounds in 1914. the high record vesr. “Yes, Johnny’s doing mnicely at schiool,” Mrs. Lapsfing sadd, “and he remembers everything he learns, espe- cially in history.
