PRESERVE THINGS OF BEAUTY Citizen l.oyal fo His Home Town Will | Constitute Himself Guardian of | Other People’s Property. | People are often wantonly destrue- | tive with what costs them nothing. | It's a vicious habit that tears out a | plant by the roots wken all that's de- | sired is the flower. That's bad enough [ in the woods where Gad's bounty pro- | duces in riotous ‘profusion. But even ‘, there rare specimers are found and | the species may be easily destroyed. The same barbarity practiced near a man’s home is contemptible. © For a passing whim you destroy for your- self and him the thing that gives you plensure. You are in a meaner class than the fellow who kllled the goose that laid the golden egg. He was a | fool for destroying what was his own. You are all he was and more besides, for you take in addition what does not belong to you. . The loyal citizen becomes a guardian of other people's property. The more he can encourage his neighbor the more attractive will his property be- come and the more beautiful the en- wironment in which he will live, And you will help enjoy it. Without cost to you there will be created a com- younity beauty that will uplift humani- ty. His lawn and flowers should be- come dear to you and you should help him defend them. This is no whim of an enthusiast. It's law that's old as the decalogue. If you aren’t sure about it take the old book off by your- self and look it up. You may show wour ignorance if you do it in com- pany. And if such a thing was a recognized law in those distant bar- barous days it surely is more so now. Jle who deliberately despoils for a passing gratification is not a citizen worthy of the present century.— Penn- gylvania Grit. TREES AND SHRUBS FOR PARK Those That Produce Colored Fruits Should Always Be Given Prefer- ence, for Many Reasons. The guiding principle in park plan- ming should be beauty, but it should mot be a temporary or one-sensonal beauty. Hence it follows that shrubs and trees which produce colored fruits, and retain them for long periods, are preferable to plants whose chief deco- rative contribution }s a short burst of bloom. Such -€hrubs are hand- somer af all times after. flowering and | most unive THE BEMIDJJ WEEKLY PIONEER | .. et i T = . | are particularly valudble ‘in winfer !when every bit of color In the land- { seape is precious.

We are all agreed that dust, dirt, garbage and other rubbish should be kept as far as possible from the dwell- ing bouse, yet it is surprising how often we find the rubbish receptacle as close as possible to the doors and windows of, the house. It is to be regretted that in so many towns these receptacles are open wood boxes, pails or old baths. We find a grand selection, but it is a difficult matter to secure the provision of 2 proper bin, and the official often does not obtain the support he should. If only we could press upen the people the necessity to secure for themselves a proper galvanized bin with cover, which appears to me to be the most satisfactory if properly used!—Archie tect and Contract Reporter. Aerial Postal Service. Negotiations for aerial postal serv- ice have heen completed between the British and Dutch governments, and Holland is very busy making final ar- rangements. The journey from Am- sterdam to London would take but one and one-half or two hours, The Dutch military airmen, who have been in training since the beginning of the war, are to act as pilots and the min- istry of war is lending full co-opera- tion to the scheme. On the same lines an air service between st un and Groigen is also being arranged. Ground for large airdromes is being prepared near the Dutch metropolis.—Scientific American, Proper Breathing Help to Swimmers. Anyone's body will float when the lungs are filled with alr, but as a hu- man body is a trifle heavier than wa- ter It will siak unless buoyed up by air in the lungs, says n Beard in Bopys’' Life. Consequently if you learn to breathe so that you blow out your breath in time to intake a new breath before you sink, it is evident that you will not sink at all. When breathing while swimming do not take too many breaths, but let your mouth serve as the intake. It can do it quicker than your nose hecause your mouth is big- ger than your nostrils or nose holes. Now if any of you tenderfeet drown this season it will be your own fault. Breathe right xnd you will float. READ THE PIONEER WANT ADS Special Map Coupon Bemidji Pioneer Pub. Co. Bemidji, Minn. Gentlemen: hangers. Name............ Address. ...

(By Mail.)—Sir Francis Lloyd, general officer com- manding the London district, graciously though tardily has lifted the ban on dancing for officers. The order prohibiting dancing was issued originally with a view to pro- teeting the young officers home o leave from those pitfalls which abound in certain parts of London. Under camouflage of “dancing’ dens of vice and infamy are conducted by those who are out to make a ‘‘good thing” of the young men’s spending propensities. However, the military authorities] cannot keep thousands of young of- ficers in leading strings while they are on .leave and in place of the public dance there sprang up the entertainment known as a ‘‘private” dance. After careful inquiry and painstaking efforts to ascertain the truth, Sir Francis found that worse went on behind closed doors than could possibly take place in public rooms. So the order is resinded. Officers on leave may dance in public places and in clubs. Many young officers declare them- selves disappointed at the removal of the ban. ‘“Half the fun is gone,” they grumble. The fear of being raided by military police gave the pastime the necessary tang of adven- ture—but now that they may dunce; they don’t particularly want to! The “flapper” is mightily pleased about it though. | There was no fun in going to| dances where men were conspicous!| by their absence, but now she will| be able to go to dances without hav-i ing the chagrin of seeing her partner ‘“‘grabbed” before | half through. the evening is|, A Few Bargains S FQR i SO ER VAN T URDAY One 20-0z. bottle Jelly......24¢ One can Peas 16¢ One large can Sauer Kraut (5] AR S SN 16¢ 1-1b. package Green Tea...43c 1-1b. can Calumet Baking Powder ...... 20c Dill Pickles, per dozen......15¢ Three cakes Jergin’s Toilet Soap for i Five bars Swift's Naptha..25¢ Shoulder of Pork. .28¢ Pork Chops 32¢ We still have some Macki- naws at very attractive prices.
