The proprietor is alone with the exception of inexperienced help, and is himself working 16 hours per day to attend to his affairs. ! It so happened a couple of days ago that the proprietor was at dinner when a customer entered and made inquiry for something. The courteous new clerk was sorry but the propri- etor was at dinner, and could the customer call later. Then it was that the big boob commenced to snort and wanted to know what in Hades kind of a places they were running and a lot more insane ravings. : It’s about time that such, if it comes an opportune time, were “balled out” in a proper manner and if necessary tossed The former clerks in this particular store iare in the army to keep just such “distinguished” individpgls from getting their necks wrung by the Huns, and their families from other things worse than that. - 0- INVASION The last excuse of the pacifist has been brushed aside. The United States has been invaded—invaded by Germany. If there yet remains a single American ‘citizen who is not willing to throw his all upon the altar of his country, that man should be banished from the land he dishonors and disgraces. Many people are asking the question, “How can German submarines operate so far from a base?” And they can find no answer to their question unless it be that the base may not be so far away as we suppose. Hun influence is almost su- preme in a certain country on this continent, the people of which bear us no love, and a submarine base in that land would be no surprise. The sooner we awake to the fact that freedom’s enemies are in the saddle and riding hard, the sooner will we take steps to brings those riders to a disastrous fall. While the. Hun is looming large in our view, let us not for- get that there is, and has been, treachery much nearer home. P ] DELIVERLESS DAYS ARE -COMING Commencing Saturday, Bemidji’s new. deliverless days be- gin when grocers and markets will curtail the delivery of pur- chases, for it is a suggestion of the food administration that housewives and other members of the household, if there be such, lug their own stuff-home, or else pay some one else to do it, if there’s too much for one to carry the desired ‘distance. The innovation doesn’t mean that a load of coal will not|g be delivered nor anything like that, only store merchandise is on the program. Some might be laboring under the impres- sion that they are going to have a whale of a time carrying home a day’s shopping when the family larder is replenished but it doesn’t seem so tragic when one considers how much a week’s salary will secure at present. . But the thing to do is look pleasant, keep sweet and buy Liberty Bonds with what will be saved in cheaper prices sans the delivery extras. 0— ‘According to statistics, it is safer to be a soldier in the trenches than to be a baby under a year old. The death rate for the soldier is 2 per cent and for the baby 7 per cent. If it were optional with the baby, he would probably infinitely pre- fer to be a soldier. 0- . .

The other day President Wilson threw the first ball in the baseball game between Republican and Democratic members of Congress. 0.
