Every village, town, and city sees the same discour- aged crew; and it seems to me a pity that good houses are so w. B In my native burg, Empory, 1 see women chasing round, and they tell the same old story—houses simply can’t be found. And the same sad word is spoken everywhere I chance to roam; from Topeka to Hoboken folks are hunting for a home. When they’re sick and tired of chasing, when their soulsdx with woe are filled, maybe they will do some bracing; maybe they’ll decide to build. Rents are higher now than ever, and the prices won’t slump back, and that man is really. clever who will build himself a shack. «But the cost!”’ 1 hear men yawping; and th.ey put up thoughtless roars, for they never have been shopping at the modern lumber stores. Building goods today are cheaper than all other goods you buy; all commodities are steeper—ask the lumber dealer nigh. Moneyed men are often questing for gold bricks, anq dern the price; always ready for investing in blue sky and pxckled ice. If they’d build a lot of houses they might dwell in Easy Street, where the catawampus browses, and the dingbat’s song is sweet. Every time the’y build a dwelling crowds would come and still increase, crying, clamoring, and yelling, begging for a five year lease. There’s no better proposition than this thing of building homes ‘And the man should find position in the plutocratic domes. And the men with modest bundle should be renting never- more; he should take his wad and trundle to the lumber deal- er’s store. There should be a boom in building such as we have never seen; palaces with ornate gilding, modest homes, all painted green. —_— DEMPSEY’S VICTORY OVER WILLARD POPULAR While we had hoped Dempsey would defeat Willard and do so decisively, yet solely for the reason Willard refused to mix for the championship after he won it from poor old Jack Johnson, we are not going to condone the quick ending of the Toledo title bout. In three rounds Dempsey gave the champion the greatest licking a champion ever received in such a short shift, and long idleness, gathering in the long green after he became the champion, with continual refusal to meet challengers, caused the inevitable on the show down, after years of inaction. Per- haps he essayed his defense for the great sum guaranteed him to defend his title. Dempsey receivel little for his work, but the future seems golden. He is the best pugilist in the heavyweight ranks of the day and should be good for several years, as he is around 24 years old. Among the sporting fra- ternity the victory was a popular one. —0 VILLAGE OF BAUDETTE HEEDS THE CALL Tucked away up on the Canadian border, the village of Baudette heard the call for help from Fergus Falls to the state to extend aid in its reconstruction after the terrible devastation by a cyclone, and Baudette sent $100 to the relief fund. Bau- dette hasn’t forgotten the big holocaust which vigited her a few years ago, nor will she forget. The appeal has gone out from Fergus Falls for help. It has the enorsement of Governor Burnquist. Can’t Bemidji be as generous as Baudette? If any care to donate and wish the Pioneer to forward the amounts to the proper authorities we will gladly do so. —_—0 We note in a dispatch where Postmaster General Burle- son denies that he presented his resignation to President Wil- son, reports having gone broadcast that he had done so in the interest of harmony of the democratic leaders. If there’s any more burdens or inconveniences he can impose upon the general public we don’t know what they could be. Might as well quit. ——0- And while the city is improving in many ways, anybody stopped to think that the public library needs intelligent and careful cooperation in securing a larger quantity of volumes. The coming of the normal and the growth of the public schools would seem to be an incentive for larger expenditures on the library. —0 No use of any one arguing his head off about what he might think of that covenant or about the United States and the league of nations. It will be signed just the same, although there might possibly be some minor changes made. It will be endorsed all right, all right. —o0 No, it isn’t altogether a source of worry to auto drivers that children use the pavement for playgrounds. One of the great- est causes of gray hairs in the business district are the “jay- walkers”’ who utterly refuse to use the crossing, but “skate” across at every old angle. Dottt More wheat was sown in the Baudette district this year than was grown last year, making an increase of five thousand per cent in the acreage.—Baudette Region. What’s the matter, “Bill?” 0. On Tuesday, in the house of Congress, a test vote on the enforcement of the national prohibition legislation was taken. It carried by the vote of 229 to 56. Wonder if that is sufficient to convince its opponents of what is in store for them. 2R, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER announces the appearance of Miss| rifice and of the pure love born of Greeley in ‘‘Phil-for-Short” tomor- | suffering, but none is more beautiful NEWS OF THE row, Friday. than that which David Wark Griffith ebanian has immortalised in “The Girl Who Stayed at Home,” his latest Arteraft | Her tour led her along Fifth avenue, .| Grand.

Again she demonstrates that she is one of picture from life. The theme is of timely interest and of considerable originality and there is a daring twist in the plot. “THE CITY OF COMRADES.” Seena Owen, who is Tom Moore’s leading lady in his latest Goldwyn picture, ‘“The City of Comrades,” which comes to the Grand Saturday and Sunday, was in New York re- cently on a purchasing. expedition. in and out of the mest exclusive modistes’ and milliners’ shops. As the cultivated daughter of a wealthy widow in the picturization of Basil King's novel Miss Owen wears a dressing gown of dull cham- pagne colored satin with the bodice trimmed with real Irish lace. In an- other scene, she appears in an even- gown of rufile georgette draped over THE CAR FOR ECONOMICAL TRANSPORTATION The present-day value of an automobile lies in its degree of utility. The more it serves the more it saves. The Chevorlet meets your every requirement. It is always ready and willing for long and short distance travel, over smooth or rough roads, up hill or down, in all weather; it covers the ground smoothly, swiftly and surely. The Chevrolet never hesitates—never does its power wane. The Chevrolet is a very carefully built car. Only the best materials, methods and men have a part in its construction. heavy cream-colored satin, with a cluster of small satin roses on the right shoulder. THE FRIENDLESS SOLDIER. In her Paramount picture, ‘‘Petti- grew’s Girl,” which will again ap- vear in the Elko theatre tonight, Ethel Clayton has the role of Daisy Heath, Broadway beauty. Daisy Has her line out to catch a rich husband. Private Pettigrew is alone in the world, having no parents, relatives or friends. He never even had a sweetheart, hut when he takes a trip to New York, from the embarkation camp at which he is stationed he ar- ranges to meet her, and lots of things happen. “The Only Way,” a Ford Educa- rional subject also on view at the Elko tonight, pictures the results of warelessness in a manner that should ‘e a lesson in safety for auto drivers ind others using thoroughfares. As to its power, it is sufficient to say that the Chev- rolet is equipped with the FAMOUS VALVE-IN-HEAD MOTOR No car in the world can—we believe—compete with the Chevrolet for style, power and comfort at the price.
