E i i i k " PAGE FOUR BIG ANNUAL AUCTION SALE. RUSSELL FARM:. IS IMPORTANT EVENT The big annual community auc. tion sale will be held on October 30 on the E. W. Russell farm, one-half mile south of Solway, commencing at 10 o'clock in the morning and terminating when the offerings are all disposed of. Free lunch will be served at noon. This annual is one of the most in- teresting and important affairs held each year in southern Beltrami coun- ty and always proves an attraction for farmers for miles distant. The offerings are always of high grade and are sold for whatever one cares to bid, and the sale this fall prom- ises to be a record breaker. Among the offerings already sched- uled are one pure bred Percheron stallion, 9 years old, a 7-year-old grade stallion, pair of 4-year-old mares; sorrel pair, 7 and 8 years; black pair, 8 and 10 years, and also a number of splendid colts. All are in first class condition and of good weight. In cattle, thirty-two head has been booked, including a number of fresh cows, others coming fresh, 2-year- old heifers, a splendid young Angus bull, and a number of fine calves. Duroc Jersey hogs will also be put up, chickens.and other farm stock, and in addition there will be offered a big line of farm machinery and equipment. " H. C. Peterson will act as aue- tioneer and Frank Smith will be clerk of the auction. RURAL SCHOOLS WILL AID FIRE DESTITUTE Through the Junior Red Cross, the Beltrami county schools will inaug- urate a campaign for the fire desti- tute and on Saturday and Monday, Oct. 26 and 28, collection of clothing will be made to be taken to head- quarters of the campaign, in all prob- fl:jlimy in the Elks building, Bemidji. County Superintendent Stewart, to whom the task was allotted by C. G. Schulz, state superintendent of schools, believes that sucm work in Bemidji would meet with little suc- cess, owing to the city having re- sponded generously to the call for help in the stricken districts. How- ever, the county- districts will be heard from in this state-wide drive. Where schools have been closed tem- porarily the superintendent or prin- cipal will organize a sufficient num- ber of the older pupils and teachers to' interést themselves in the cam- paign. . What is wanted is underwear for meh, women and children, heavy clothing and outer garments, bed- ding and towels. No mattresses or pillows . are degjred.

American Soldiers When Duty Sounds Its Call. There were four of them, and thelr mission was.to transport a machine gun to a wooded hilltop commuanding the enemy lines. It was not very far to look at. But they had to crawl the entire distance under fire. All night long they crawled, except when they ircze Into stillness under the light of the star shells.. Before they were half- way there, two of them were wounded snd had to work their way back to the lines over the same perilous ground. The other two kept on. The danger increased as they approached the top of the hill. Both of them were bleed- ing from flesh wounds. Both were spent with the exertlon of the long as- cent dragging their gun. But thelr only thought was to do what they had come to do. Just at dawn they round- el the top of the hill. The first thing they saw were two German officers standing with binoculars sweeping the American lines, Qulck as thought, without waiting to place their gun, one “Yank held it while the other fired. The officers went down, and the enemy guns woke up. The two boys made cover with their gun and answered the fire. Before the day had fairly broken, they had “cleaned out” the nest of enemy guns and had their own gun advantageously placed. This 1s just an ordinary eplsode of daily life at the front.—From a Red Cross Scrap Book. Accurate Shooting. In France a German plune, swoop- ing around a farmhouse, was startled and soon driven away by very accurate rifie fire. At least the firlng was ac- curate enough to convince Fritz that he was in no safe neighborhood. But he didn’t know that the rifie was being handled by a lieutenant col- onel in the American army, who, en- raged at the audacity of the hostile birdman, grabbed the weapon and soon had the “supremacy of the air” in that particular locality well under control. One Way Out. Two bluejackets were in the \wash- room washing clothes, preparatory to the weekly inspection. They were both regulars and had enlisted for four years. One of them had been in the service one year, and wss rather tired of being. on. the station so long, and expressed his sentiments to that effect. The other, looking up at his discon- tented “buddie,” said, “Well, if you don't like it, give three years’' notlos and- quit the navy.” ~ | BEMIDJI'S ONLY LAUNDRY T0 CLOSE NOVEMBER 2: OWNERS TO TAKE REST Bemidji has days that are wheat- less, days that are meatless, pants that are seatless, days that were gas- less, and about everything else that was ‘‘less,” all under the mandate of the great United States of America, but “doggone it,” if . 5.

WAR IS MAKING THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS MORE HEALTHY LOT (Continued from Page One) but his wark, a situation which is helpful to his state of mind, as well as his body. He is learning good living and clean habits in the army. Then there are those army doctors who are continually watching to nip anything in the bud that might break down health of the men. A good football team in training never aver- aged higher in medical attention than Uncle Sam’s fighters. Inspec- tion takes place ever so often, and is careful. The men, knowing they are entitled to treatment freely, re- port sooner for attention. Dentists are far more popular than they used to be, as well as doctors. Hospitals Are Good Even the chaps who are sent back to hospitals gain by the deal, despite the popular belief. By far the larger number of men in hospitals have merely temporary disabilities. The army hospitals run on one bgsis, that of making a man better for service than he was before. Of course there are men who must go back home after their hospital ‘sojourns, but with the exception of a few cases, they too leave hospitals in healthier condition than they were in when they joined the army. The reason is this. Every means of science is used freely to find out what ails the doughboy who enters the hospital, and before he leaves every means known to cure him has been tried. There i8 no question of cost or whether or not he wants to take the treatment. He gets it— which' is important, say physicians, since an enormous amount of dis- ability in civilians is allowed to in- crease, because of antipathy of many people to medical treatment. The soldier who arrives at'a hos- pital is practically certain to get an X-ray examination all over, unless his trouble is a mere scratch and he is all right otherwise. If anything ails him, the medical men find it out, and they go right after the ailment at once. Thus the soldier who came in to get his appendix removed may have his lungs treated, his teeth fixed, and his deaf ear operated upon and made perfect. He is decidely a better human being for his hospital experience. FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN WILL COME IN SPRING Washington, Oct. 23.—Long before the Fourth Liberty Loan figures have been counted up, or the honor flags have been entirely distributed, or the money paid in, preparations have been started at the Treasury for the Fifth Liberty Loan. The date has not been determined, nor the amount, nor any other fea- tures. The only certain knowlege is that there will be another and it probably will come in the spring of 1919—in March or April. Whether present German maneuv- ers for peace are successful or not, the government by that time will need more billions to pay the war ¢osts which can decrease only grad- ually even if cessation of military ef- fort should come. 1t is probably that there will be a Fifth Liberty Loan honor flag, honor buttons for subscribers, window cards for the homes of bond buyers, per- centage stickers, and art posters. It has been suggested that the honor flag, -instead of bearing five bars, might carry the Roman numeral “y.’ standing not only for “five” but also for “Victory.” Applications for the manufacture of these articles al- ready have been received.

That public employes may solicit campaign funds and that a voter un- der bail bonds is entitled to vote were other rulings given by Secretary of State Schmahl. Attorney General Hilton’s opinion was given the Wabasha county aud- itor. “When an application is made by or in behalf of such voters, the coun- ty auditor may deliver ballots to him, and thereupon the voter may mark the same in a way not disclosing how he votes,” said the ruling. i “After the attesting witness, who may be any county official having a seal, or any postmaster, has made the proper certificates, the ballot should be deposited by him or by some one in his presence, in the postoffice. Postal authorities have been request- ed to hold these ballots until Novem- Ler 5. and on that date to deliver them to the judges of election.” WANT AD DEPT.

See if the color is unhealthy— If there are settlings and sediment. Passages frequent, scanty, painful. It's time to fear serious kidney trouble. It’s time to use Doan’s Kidney Pills Doan’s have done great work in Bemidji. T. C. Hyatt, retired farmer, 605 Fourteenth St., Bemidji, says: *“I have always been a hard worker and the continual strain brought on my kidney trouble. My kidneys acted too frequently and I was forced to get up from three to six times dur- ing the night. My back gave out on me and it pained very much. I tried Doan’s Kidney Pills and it didn't take them long to bring relief.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Hyatt had.
