COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS GOOD SPORTS—NOT TIN SPORTS. It seems almost irreligious to campare Christmas giving with barroom-treating. But in one of its forms the institution hardly reaches a higher plane. Smith treats Jones because he has met him on the sidewalk and wants to show that he feels friendly, Neither of them wants a drink. . Jones buys back to show he isn’t a tightwad. Then Smith buys to show he didn’t buy the first drink just to get one in re- turn. So Jones buys to reciprocate. Brown walks in, and, being a regular, he has met Smith there before. So he buys for the crowd; and then each of the other two buys. Reciprocity again. And then it’s Brown’s turn. : This isn’t a lecture on prohibition, but on expenditure: The flood of chemical fluid that Smith, Jones and Brown pour into themselves may not hurt them, but it wastes their money and gives them no fun. They all know they don’t want it; but they spend to show they aren’t tightwads. Christmas presents given for the same purpose are a-de- secration of the institution. The motive is a selfish one to start. Let us give to impart pleasure. The U. S. government is our warrant for it. ’ A world-war may dethrone kings, but it cannot dethrone the King of kings. Dynastics are for an epoch, but the doctring and spirit of Christmas are for eternity, and the government has not planned to abolish the indestructible. It has merely told us to buy what the other fellow needs. He can’t feel insulted if we give him an order on & local store for a hat—he can easily get even by insulting us with an order for a pair of shoes. And we can all benefit good old Bemidji by buying right here in town. Keep the old place going. Bemidji and Beltrami and many boys will come back before long, and they won't want to see strahge names over any of the stores. Show them that we all did business at the old stands while they went to insure safety of our homes. : * And do your buying now. Don’t let us have any over- worked store clerks in Bemidji during the greatest of all festivals. ; 0 When McAdoo, named by his father-in-law, the president, to assume control of the railroads of the nation, the secretary of the treasury hit upon the brilliant idea to notify all railroad employes to keep off from politics, when he himself was very much in politics and controller of the railroads of the United States at that. A roar went up and McAdoo backed. The change would have put A. D. Johnson out of the running for the county auditorship in which he was successful. He is an em- ploye of the M. & I. road. 0 According to announcement from Washington, about 200,- 000 soldiers in various camps of the United States will be re- leased within two weeks from actual duty and allowed to re- turn to their homes. This is the start of the huge task yet to be performed, and soon the nation will again resume its normal status and things will once more hum as they never did before. o Will H; Hays, chairman of the national republican com- mittee, writes us a letter thanking us for help in the recent campaign. Might also write one to the president for that famous letter of his, where he urged the election of only demo- crats to the national congress. -The resentment over this auto- cratic appeal helped the republican campaigns materially. AR SR R Readers will note in today’s issue where the department of commerce at Washington tells how to solve the coal problem, by sweeping up the coal dust and other materials in the cellar and treating them properly, to help win the war. That might sound plausible enough to some in Bemidji, but théy wonder where they will get the coal dust. —0 The big peace conference in Versailles is to be held in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. From the personal pictures of some of those to take part it wouldn’t seem as if the mirror feature would add to the enhancement of the scene. But then, you know, you can’t tell by looking at it how far a frog can jump. -0 It does one good to hear another speak in strong com- mendatory terms of a neighbor, and it was our pleasure on Sat- urday to hear Nels Otterstad of Turtle River say of the young son of William Hunt: “Iam sosorry. He was a splendid young man. I knew him well,” and the veteran timber cruiser’s voice softened. 0 Well, chee}' up. The government will one of these glad- some day_s put liquor out of business in the nation and the booze artists will have to go to work. o . Wonder wha_t some of those gallant national democratic legxslgtors now think of the efection as it relates to the suffrage question. 0~ Minnesota remains “wet” by a narow majority. Cheers from the booze gang. The Pionger Want As Bring Resulis — | measure - four and one-half inches, | | | ' THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER RED CROSS NOTES CHAPTER WILL SHIP KNITTED GOODS FIRST OF MONTH Mrs. P. M. Peterson, chairman of the “knitting committee of the Red Cross chapter, announces that knitted goods will be shipped on December 1. Her announcement is as follows: “We will ship knitted goods De- cember 1 and all who have yarn out are urged to hand in finished articles by then. Yarn has been given out for eriough sweaters to fill our sweat- er quota and we must gét busy on our new guota, which is 1,280 pairs of sox to be shipped December 25. We must have more workers o begin at once. The sox yarn from head- quarters is here and we need your help. Sizes of needles vary, so it ig well to conform with finished meas- urements given and set up enough stitches to have the ribbing three inches wide, not stretched, when laid on a flat surface. Sox should meas- ure: Ribbing three inches long, three inches wide, not stretched; knit eight inches, plain; knit heel two and one-half inches before turning. Leg is eleven inches long, before you start knitting heel. The leg should not stretched. % “Foot length eleven and one-half inches, but ten and one-half inches and twelve 1igeches are acceptable. No s0x less than a ten and one-half inch foot is accepted. A “All 'sox must be washed and pressed before sending in. Do not press rioping.” Soldiers Christmas Packages. A plan has been perfected whereby the final mailing date for Christmas parcels for soldiers overseas has been extended to November 30. The plan also includes a provision for furnishing Christmas labels to in- dividuals who ‘have net received labels from soldiers in the American Expeditionary Forces upon the re- ceipt of a signed application stating that the applicant is the nearest of kin in the United States, that no label has been received from abroad and that should one subsequently be received 1t will not be used. The ap- plicant must also state that to ‘the best of his knowledge and belief only one Christmas parcel will be sent to the proposed recipient. This arrangement has been made at the request of the war department to prevent disappointment® to those who have not received labels from abroad and is intended to insure the delivery of one parcel to each man. The local chapter has ordered a supply of labels and will have them on_hand in a day or so. BROWN BROTHERS HELPING TO BUILD MERCHANT FLEET (By United Press.) Washington, Nov. 18.—One in the Philippine Islands the natives are busy adding' ships to the mighty allied merchant fleet that is doing so much to beat the Hun. ‘The department of commerce has anyounced that splendid work in shipbuilding is being accomplished in the islands. Most of the vessels are designed for inter-island trade. They have relieved many vessels that have been withdrawn for oversea service. - Shipbuildiug in the Philippines is ho revival of an art that' had be- o almost extinct in these posses- 5. Back in the old days, how- e when Spain's armada was the mightiest afloat, many a splendid gd n was launched in Philippine waters, TERRE HAUTE HEROES (By United Press.) Washington, Nov. 18. — Many a yank sridier, charging into no-man’s land at the zero hour, may thank some boy back in Terre Haute, Ind., for the steel helmet he is wearing. The Department of Labor has an- nounced that 150 Terre Haute High school boys spent their summer vaca- tion in a big manufacturing plant, making helmets. They are all'mem- bers of the United States Boy's Working Resel:ve. - [FBACK HURTS Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys If Bladder Both- ers You Eating meat regularly eventually produced kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, becanse the urie acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overwork- ed; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly back- ache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid | liver, sieeplessness, bladder and urin- ary irritation.
