Representatives of the stock interests, of the neighboring states, of the college of agriculture, the immigration depart- ment, the railways and other interested parties in Minnesota were present. . A committee consisting of A. D. Wilson of the extension division, N. J. Holmberg, commissioner of the new department of agriculture, and Fred Sherman, chairman of immigration, was appointed to direct the locating of this stock in this state. 1t is probable that farmers and settlers, who can pasture a car- load or more untill fall, can be accomodated by communicating with the department of agriculture. Large tracts of cut over lands in northern Minnesota will probably be secured, on which herds of cattle, accompanied by a herder, will be placed. This action will provide an oppor- tunity for utilizing vast quantities of forage, which annually goes to waste in northern Minnesota, and at the same time con- trol the marketing of a heavy run of stock so as to distribute is evenly throughout the season. o NEWCOMERS UNABLE TO FIND QUARTERS Bemidji is losing both ways upon a proposition that seems strange, in some ways, to exist, and that it is practically impos- sible for new comers in the city being able to secure suitable living quarters. Only yesterday a man and his wife were afoot seeking in desperation to locate in any thing like respectability and com- fort, he being transferred here by a large concern to be dist- rict manager. They would keep house, having their furniture packed, but seem unable to find desirable quarters. The erection of the normal dormitory will somewhat re- lieve the situation, but at best the city is devoid of suitable apartments, houses and quarters for newcomers, and the in- convenience has caused rapid changes in many instances. This is a problem to conjure with. If anyone has anything suitable for such desirable people and will notify the Pioneer, there is little need of vacancies. = 0. BIXBY AVENUE RESIDENTS ARE AWAKE Guess those Bixby avenue property owners, between Twelfth and Thirteenth street, are not going to see the other streets in that vicinity improved with concrete walks. They just naturally asked the council for the proper grades and curb lines and intend to build their own walks. Bixby avenue also needs water for the sewers and should by all means have this necessity. There are some private lines but not for the general property owners. 0 There’s another class of auto drivers at work in Bemidji, and they are the ones who do not observe the rights of the road and are constant violators of traffic rules. They force others to seek safety in making unusual moves to save themselves and their cars from serious injury and damage and it is no fault of their own if they don’t escape. A little more judgment would be a good thing in several instances. 0. There’s another thing of which carelessness and thought- lessness bear a great burden upon private property owners. Contractors have been in the habit of using water from private pipes in houshold yards, running up the meter bill to large p}:'oportions and then “forgetting it,” leaving the owner to pay the cost. 0. We have also been guilty of inflicting rather peculiar statements, unintentionally, when the types interfere, and we “lamp” this head in the Grand Forks Herald: “Agitation to Enter League.” What was intended was “Argentina,” but at that the caption had more truth than poetry attached. 0. Come to think about it, President Vandersluis of the city council has the right idea, that of encasing the projecting fire hydrant pipes in concrete. Not all hydrants need this atten- tion but it would be much more sightly and a better protec- tion to the fire fighting facilities of the city. —0 Hurrah for the British dirigible R-34. She has the Ameri- can characteristic' of finishing the job. and Sunday, a screen version of Basil King’s Saturday Evening Post story, no detail has been spared to make every scene realistic. The sto'en jewels are Seena Owen'’s collection cf pearl necklaces, brooches and rings; the period furniture used was col- lected by art director Hugo Ballin, ¥land Miss Owen's gowns were part of an exquisite wardrobe made by a Fifth avenue modiste before she went West to support Tom Moore in his new play. Even the food that Tom NEWS OF THE THEATERS “THE WOMAN UNDER OATH.” Florence Reed in “A Woman Under Oath” will be the program at the Grand theatre tonight and Thursday. In this picture, Miss Reed's work is little short of wonderful. Again she demonstrates that she is one of the screens great actresses. Her per- formance is real and impressive pic- ture from life. The theme is timely interest and of considerable origin- alitv and there is a daring twist in the plot. Path’s Weekly News and “Topics of the Day” will complete the program. TOM MOORE COMING. In Goldwyn’s newest Tom Moore picture, “The City of Comrades,” coming to the Grand next Saturday Moore steals and eats is real; a2ud he went through the scene on an empty stomach in order to attack the food with the appetite of a starving man. SOLDIER BOY WINS. Can a simple, sincere, inexperi- enced soldier boy win a beautiful but fickle Broadway girl when that girl is just on the eve of catching as a hus- band a handsome young millionaire? Nine out of ten will say, “‘impossible.” But Monte Blue, as Private Pettigrew in Ethel Clayton’s new Paramount starring vehicle, ‘‘Pettigrew’s Girl,” which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Thursday, says it can be done. The picture is an adaption of the story of the same name by Dana Burnet, which ap- peared in the Saturday Evening Post. “The Only Way,” is film teaching a lesson in safety, is also on the Elko program for tonight and tomorrow.

Some men run into hobbies. At these they excel. Given a new task.they fail. Your old uncie would not have you de- velop your hobby less, but he would have you develop the other side of your nature more. Instead of becoming a one-talent man he would have you add to the talent nature’s just increase that comes from the proper balancing of the .powers within you. No one can do this for you. They may ad- vise and urze. - You and.you alone must apply the effort that will bring the fruits. You ean if you will. When men learn to harness their forces they will rob toil of most of ity drudgery.—Grit, - THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER (LU LU L T T T T T T oA AUTOMATIC The Range that almost thinks.
