Deputy, the first president of the new state normal school, and they like him. He was present at the meeting of the Commercial club yesterday and impressed those with whom he became acquainted as a man of splendid char- acter, possessing executive ability equal to the important task of managing the affairs of the state’s latest educational institu- tion. Mr. Deputy was born on a farm in J e(mings county, near Vernon, Indiana. His early education was in the rural schools, where he had his first teaching experience. For four years he was principal of the township high schools of Hayden and Paris, Indiana, and served six years as county superintendent of Jen- nings County, Indiana, during which time the county system of high schools was organized under his leadership. Anothgr feature of his work as county superintendent was the consoli- dation of small rural schools, which movement at that time was just beginning in Indiana. y ; Dgring f%u'r years he was superintendent of city schools at Columbia City, Indiana. From this position he was called to the Eastern State Normal school at Charleston, Illinois, to become the head of Model School as successor to -Dean Coffman, now at Minnesota University. From 1911 till 1916 he was teacher of Pedagogy and the Director of the Elementary school in the State Normal School at Mankato, Minnesota. While there he organ- jzed the Junior High School department in the Normal school, took an active part in.a closer unification of Kindergarten and Primary Education. He wag much interested also in the wel- fare of the rural schools and in the development of a Rural School Department in the Normal School. He is now completing his third year as director of Teacher Training and Extension work in the public scpoo]s of Kansas City, Missouri. In this position he has o;gamzed a standard two-year Normal School course for the training of young teach- ers desiring to enter service, has also held summer schools for teachers of the city system and has conducted Saturday classes for teachers in service. In these summer schools and Saturday classes more than 1,300 teachers have been enrolled during the past two years. He is a graduate from the two year course, Southern Indiana Normal School, Mitchell, Indiana, and was for four years a student in Indiana State University, receiving the A. B. Degree of Philosophy and Psychology in 1904 and the A. M. Degree in Education in 1905. Has since done graduate work in Teachers Colleges, Columbia University, New York City. For nineteen years he has been an active member of the National Educational Association. il Th new president, it is readily seen, is a brilliantly edu- cated man, and the state normal school board is indeed fortu- nate in securing his services. He has gained a place among the country’s foremost educators. Bemidji is glad Mr. Deputy is to make this city his home, and it extends a most cordial welcome to himself and tamily. —0 BEMIDJI'S NEW ASSOCIATION Three important and principal changes are included in the re-oraginzation of Bemidji’s Commercial Club as recommended at the yesterday noon meeting by the specially named commit- tee. These are the changing of the committee plan now followed to a smaller number and increasing their duties, the widening of the organization’s membership and scope of activities and the re-arrangement of the dues system whereby membership in the club can be made more representative of the city’s commmercial and industrial life. 1t is also suggested that the name of the club be changed to Bemidji Civic and Commerce Association, and that it be gen- erally spoken of as the Bemidji association. The purposes for which re-oraginzation of the club was first sugegsted is well provided for in the changes planned, and the recommendations are ample testimony that the committee, under W. Z. Robinson, former president, has devoted much time and diligent work to the proposition that a satisfactory gram might be decided upon. That membership of the association would soon include at least four hundred, is the belief of committee members. Dues would be adjusted on a sliding scale or allotment plan, the as- sessieents being designated by a committee which will take into consideration the business or occupation of the member. The revenue would be increased to an amount making possible the securing of an expert civic worker, or secretary, who would devote his entire time and energy to the upbuilding of Bemidji and the community in which it is located. Plans for remodeling the city hall, providing Bemidji with an attractive municipal building in which rooms for the Com- mercial club are provided will also mean a large reduction in club operating expenses, thereby providing added revenue to be used in exploiting the many industrial, commercial and agri- cultural advantages of Bemidji and Beltrami county. The committee recommendations will be considered at the next Wednesday meeting of the club and they are worthy of adoption. 0 Effort is to be made by Bemidji to secure the 1920 summer convention of the Northern Minnesota Development association, and an invitation will be presented. This city is the birth-place of this booster organization which has done such noble work in the development of Northern Minnesota and it would be glad to be granted the privilege of again entertaining its dele- gates and will extend a most cordial welcome to the ‘“home coming.” The Beltrami county board of commissioners will be asked to appropriate $300 for use by the association in promot- ing its activities. Such an appropriation is authorized by law and is a most merited expenditure. It is to be hoped that the board members will act upon it favorably.

A new and important breakfast food plant has been fetched from Peru by the Yale geographic expedition. It yields a product declared to be quite equal to oatmeal. The plant in ques- tion Is a cultivated pig-weed, and.an- clently was one of the twbd principal grain producling crops'bt". Ineas. Today In Peru it is chiefly “used for the manufacture of “chicha,” a native beer. From a valley high up in the Peruvian Andes the expedition obtained a new and remarkable wild -relative of the tomato. It has an apple-like flavor, and is the fruit of a desert plant, found in company with cacti and other such water-starved vege table species. The plant 1s a vine, which, say the experts, may be trained over arbors. It may be crossed with our own tomatoes for the production of 'varleties with special edible vir- tues. Another remarkable acquisition was a kind of tomato that grows on a tree. It 1s only g little £¥se, four or five feet high, with :hra %! .that spread horizontally, giving it a flat- topped. effect, The tomatoes are egg shaped, and borne in pendant clusters from near the ends of:the branches. Yet another prize, deemed valuable for iIntroduction Into the United States, was the “lucuma,” which can hardly be called a discovery {nas- much as It has long been a popular fruit In Peru. It has rich, mealy flesh, somewhat resembling in texture and flavor a cooked sweet potato, and ig hardy enough to be grown in Flor fda or in southern California. Touching. “My grandfather,” said an English- man, “was a very great man. ©On¢ day Queen Victoria touched s shoui der with a sword and made him a lord.” vl “Ah, that's nothin’,” the Americat boy replied. “One day an - Indiar touched my grandfather on_the head with a tomnhawk and madeihim an angel."—Life. 3 Farmer Values Airplane. George Kounkel, a farmer of Ayles- bury, Saskatchewan, bas actually or- dered an airplane, and goes on record as the first farmer to adopt this ve- hicle In his regular business, Mr. Kounkel, who was one of the ploneer farmers In that reglon, belleves thor- sughly in agriculture by machinery. and plans to use his airplane in mak Ing trips to various cities to disposc of his farm produce. Having been the first farmer in that part of the country to buy an automobile, he ap- parently buys his first airplane In the sane roatter-of-fact business way. AT THE THEATERS ELKO TONIGHT. ) Delightful, polite comedy and a piece of imported lingerie are among the articles to be found in “The Make- Believe. Wife,” a five-part Paramount picture ' written by Ed- ward Childs Carperter and stdrring Billie Burke showing last times at the Elko theatre tonight. It also contains sprightly situations, witty subtitle, is smartly written all through and is acted with the proper lightnéss of touch by the entire cast. As a whole the play is unusually pleasing. An interesting number on the same program at the Elko tonight is “Cut It Out,” a short subject show- ing the details of making cut glass. HIT OR MISS. Harry O. Hoyt, who has penned several big hits for Carlyle Blackwell and Evelyn Greeley also wrote “Hit or Miss” in which those popular players will eppear at the Elko thea- tre tomorrow. He surely wrote ‘a pippin” of a story when he wrote “‘Hit or Miss.” It maxes the sort of picture everyone. enjoys seeing. AT REX TODAY. Mary MacLaren takes the part of Mary Royal in “The Vanity Pool,” which is the attraction at the Rex this evening. Mary i.0yal was a girl of the tenements. Her father and mother, ~broken down theatrical troupers, thought her a bit queer be- cause of her day dreams of a Prince Charming, who was to come and res- cue Ler from her sordid surroundings. But one day her fairy prince did come. At ieast she thought him a fairy prince, even thought he looked old aud stern, and had gray hair. But when' he kissed her she saw visions of wealth and ease, and an honest lave, leading to the altar. Little did she know that he had a wife, whose one ambition was to be the governor’s lady, for Mary’s Prince Charming was an amibtious office secker who had been named for the gubernatorial chair. He had the backing.of the political boss, until the latter got wind of his little affair with the tenement maid. Then the boss was about to throw him over, and expose his scandal through the front pages of ‘the newspaper, when a bosom friend saved the day by bringing Mary to .the would-be governor’s home, where his wife received her with graciousness, and announced to tl;el world that they had adopted the girl. STRONG ‘SOCIETY DPAMA. Patrons of the Grand theatre will find the divorce question touched from a new angle when they view the Plaza feature, “The Law That Di- vides,” showing tonight. ' Kathleen Clifford will be presented in a role that gives full scope, not only to her talents as a comedienne, but as an emotional actress. ' Kathleen Pres: ton, the heroine of “The Law Taat Divides,” was an innocent party to a divorce suit when a baby. Shortly after, her mother died and the tiny Kathleen was trained in the delicate art of picking pockets, which trade she practiced to the advantage of Mrs. Baggot and her son until adopt- ed by a wealthy society woman. The story is brought to a tremendous cli- max with a strong indictment against divorce. FARRAR— BLOCKS TRAFFIC. Traffic was held up for fifteen min- utes at the busiest corner in the world in New York recently when Geraldine Farrar, who will appear at the Grand theatre Friday in the Paramount picture, ‘“Temptations” sang there in behalf of the Liberty loan. Pedestrians swarmed the streets and automobiles, trolly cars and all sorts of vehicles were kept waiting. It.was not alone Miss Far- rar's voice which won her this ova- tion, but her likeable personality, her beauty and charm brought many thousands, of dollars to the cause while she alternately sang, talked or smiled at the spectators. There is reason in all things, but it’s different with some people. Onion thrips cause an annual loss in the United States estimated at $2,- 500,000.
