ENCOURAGE HEALTHY AMUSEMENTS The writer of this article remembers, when a boy, reading a book which treated of the customs of the people during the days of the old New England Puritans. The feature of the book that produced the most lasting impression was the seemingly utter absence of amusements among the children of that day. And we remember wondering if those sober little children ever smiled, and if they really enjoyed committing to memory Psalms by the yard. - ‘We should encourage healthy amusements, in old as well as in the young. Fun—pure, unadulterated, care-free enjoyment, unhampered by thought of anything serious—is as necessary to the righ development of the human animal as is daylight to the plant. We qualify it only by adding ‘“in moderation.” ‘Were you ever on a large stock farm, where numbers of colts were herded in a pasture? If so, you have noticed that very little of their time seemed to be given to the serious problem of cropping grass. When they were not engaged in games of romps, teasing each other, they were prowling over the field, investigating every nook and corner. Their rest- lessness and curiosity were never satisfied. Young people—and many older ones, too—are just like those colts. Life is not a serious problem to them. They know not, as yet, that life holds for them any serious problems to be solved. In fact, they couldn't understand them if confronted with them. Since, then, our ycung people WILL have amusements, what are we of Bemidji doing about it? Are we furnishing it for them ,or are we sim- ply permitting them to seek such as they can find? ‘We should keep in mind the fact that just as they are incapable of grasping the serious side of life, so are they incapable of judging the merits or demerits of their amusements. It is our duty as guardians of the morals of the community to see that our young people are not only kept free from the WRONG amusements, but are FURNISHED with the RIGHT kind. An up-to-date opera house or CLEAN moving picture show is a mod- ern necessity in every town. A first-class gymnasium, ball park‘ etc., are essential to the right development of our young people. The churches and parents are charged with the moral development of our children. The schools are held accountable for their mentality and educational qualifications. But amusement alone can develop that physique that will insure suc- cess in the commercial pursuits of later life, and which will supply the health that leads to ripeness of age. Study this subject over carefully, you mothers and fathers. Consider the buoyant spirits and overflowing energies of your boys and girls, and recognize the plain truth that they MUST have an outlet. Then ask your- self the question: *“Are we furnishing them SAFE and HARMLESS means of diversion?” Never fear but they can find amusement in plenty if we turn them loose to hunt for it. They'll find it, and it may suit them, but will the QUALITY suit us? It would be well for us to pause in the chase of the dollar long enough to make sure that the young people of our community have a sufficiency of SANE and HEALTHY amusement. ‘We spend thousands in fitting them to chase the dollar. It were better if we spent a portion of those thousands in tiding them over the period of their lives when they are most liable to contract habits that will UNFIT thém for ALL of life. Our boys and girls will be what WE make them—or permit them to make of themselves. In Monday's Pioneer there appeared a dispatch which stated that a German submarine had torpedoed the Norwegian ship Dalmatia. ““Ah, ha,” cogitated Mayor Vandersluis, (French name for a Teuton) “Guess that’s just what I'll do.”” And he proceeded to shoot a torpedo in the direction of the keel of his opponent for the mayoralty. Who? “Carlson of course.” There are two surgeons on the new park board, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Marcum, and if there are any limbs that need amputating in park improve- ments no doubt the operation will be performed in a strictly scientific man- ner. Or, if it is considered necessary, Dr. Palmer, also a member of the board, could “pull ’em out by the roots.” The “sons” were quite in evidence in the park board race Tuesday. There were John-son, Erick-son and Jack-son—all good “boys.” And on the ticket there were Carl-son and Lar-son. Bagley in the First and Phillippi in the Third both had ringside seats and watched the scramble. They just naturally “slept all the way in.” “I've heard many a ditty,” quoth Thomas Lloyd, “but that Archie Ditty is the worst I ever heard.” And come to think of it we have another to Backus in working for the progress of Bemidji. Well, we all have another Stein. Here's looking at you, George. And election passed with scarcely a Ripple. “I had nothing to Feir,” Said Mr. Rhea. Hoo, Rhea! v | In the new metro wonder-play, “A Wife by Proxy,” shown tonight at the Grand, Mabel Taliaferro, the star, figures in a “quadrangle’” of love and intrigue. The four characters in the ‘“‘quadrangle” are: A man without a soul; an adventuress, a young man whose fortune and happiness are the spoils sought for, and a witty, clever little immigrant girl, “Jerry,” who battles with great odds and wins out in the finish in a manner that is startling. Indolent on Vegetables. Dr. U. Ishizuka, a well known dleta- rian, who recently made a trip of ob- servation in Korea and in Manchuria and other parts of China, =ays the Japan Chronicle, ascribes the docility and indolence of the Koreans to their predominautly - vegetarian diet. To make them more alert and active it will be necessary to use much more animal food, in bhis opinion. The rad- ish is the article of food most relished by Koreans, who call it wild ginseng. and eat it raw. But the most remark able thing about their liking for vege- table food is the tremendous amount of cayenne pepper that they take. About one-fifth of the vegetables on sale at the markets is red pepper. The bird in the gilded cage seldom appreciates the gilt. Crumbs of comfort never come from eaung crackers in bed.
