SEE WEIRD EFFECTS IN ART Democratized Paintings are Splashes of Color That Outdo the Work of Cubists—Newspapers and Books are Scarce. London—*Proletarianizing Russian culture,” is one of the tasks attended 10 by the bolshevik government of Le- nine and Trotzky. What this process eonsists of is told hy the Copenhagen gorrespondent of the London Morning Post, He says: “If the bolshevik system, as seems likely, disappears altogether from Rus- sia during the present summer, a curi- ous experiment in ‘culture’ thereby will be brought to an end. Beyond doubt nine-tenths of bolshevism is eommon murder and plunder—the bol- shevik dictator, Zinovilieff, in a speech of May 16, admitted that ‘three-quar- ters of the 140,000 soviet officials care enly for their own pockets, but the ether tenth is honest fanaticism with the customary foundation of delusions. “One delusion is that there can be a specific ‘proletarian culture’ Last month' the 'Moscow provincial soviet (in the intervals of shooting old men and boys whose kinsmen of service age pefused to fight) set about organizing blograph and graphophone entertain- ments in the villages, ‘at which,’ says the Krasnaya Gazetta, ‘in addition to showing pictorially and screaming siridently ‘the infamies of our former foes, we are providing real proletarian education, art, science, philosophy, his- tory.’ It is culture stamped with the irresistible ‘proletkult’ mark. This ‘proletkult’ a word concocted by Lunatcharsky, is the officlal name of a state department with headquarters in Qatherine street, Petrograd, and in the Moscow Morosoff palace. The con- qoeted word goes with Sovnarcom (for founcil of People’s Commissaries), @lavsakhar (for chief sugar monop- oly), Sovdep, and other barbarous neologisms which, with bolshevism, have enriched the language of Tur- genieff and Tolstoy. Millions Expended on Cult. “The commissariat of education, ever which Lunatcharsky presides, spent in 1918 2,900,000,000 roubles ¢{nominally $1,450,000,000), and the es- timates of its expenditure for the first half of 1919 alone amount to 4,667,000, @00 roubles, nominally about 50 per cent more than the whole annual bud- get before the war. Of the first men- tloned sum over 250,000,000 roubles, 1de Kraynaya Gazetta says, was on the encouragement of literature and the arts, ‘that is, of the specific artis- tic and literary forms which are glor- feusly known as ‘proletkult.” Thus art and literature are violently democra- tized. “During the whole of last winter, in the Morosoff palace were held weekly eompetitive soirees, which M. Lunatch- arsky and even ‘our mighty Ilitch’ 1. ¢.. Lenine) did not shrink from at- tending, though the ordeal for Lenine, ‘who is a cultivated man, must have been hard. Bolshevik poets read aloud their verses, and bolshevik painters showed how . hopelessly they had left post-impressionists, cubists and ex- yressionists behind. Two of their paintings shown to me at Stockholm were mere splushes of color, framed in rigzags of common tar. The report of the commissariat of education for 1918 states that in sev- enteen provinces swayed by the soviets at the end of last year there were 37 per cent more elementary schools than ander the autocracy. This largely ac- eounts for the swollen expenditure, Higher education has been proletar- ianized—on paper—by admitting stu- dents according to their merits. Many Papers Suspended. “The plight of proletarian culture ‘has grown markedly worse during the last few months, mainly owing to lack of paper. In Petrograd, instead of aine newspapers, there have appeared since April 1 only five. The bolshevik propaganda is still turning out many thin political pamphlets, some of which 1 have seen; but book publishing has almost entirely ceased; and the best Xnown Russian novelists, Andreyeft, Kurpin and Merezhkovsky, are begin- aing the publication of their writings with Bonnler of Stockholm. The in- ability to produce books at home will eertainly continue for years.” MEMORIAL GROVE FOR HEROES Mundreds of Trees to Be Planted In Honor of American War Dead. ‘Washington.—With the practical -sompletion of the Lincoln memorial in Momlb park here, officials are prepar- fng to plant about the edifice a memo- s} grove dedicated to men who died an'the world war.

FOR - NATIVE LANDS WHEN SHIPS PERMIT o« ctrsco e A AT T ey i \ 3 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER (By United Press.) New York, Sept. 16.—A stream of ‘emigrants from America that will number hundreds of thousands will flow back to European countries as soon as transportation facilities will permit, according to consular offi- cials in New York, wh oreport that their offices are swamped with appli- cants for passage back to the old countries. Authorities familiar with the sit- uation predict important effects from the wave of emigration, which re- verses the usual trend of traffic. Hitherto, there has always been a huge flow of immigrants from the European lands to America. Several reasons are suggested as responsible for the turning of the emigration tide between Europe and America. Jointly they are con- sidered sufficient to cause a wave of immigration to Europe. The general tie-up in trans-Atlan- tic traffic during the five years of war is one of the causes for the con- centrated desire of Europeans to re- turn home now, think authorities. Many men who came here to work have not been'able to visit their fam- ilies during the war. Applications filed with consulates show that the majority of these emi- grants do not intend to return to America with their families, but feel that they will have better opportuni- ties in the old countries. High wages during the war, and especially during America’s participation in it, have enabled most of the foreigners to return Home with savings suffi- cient to make them quite independ- ent on the old scale of living. 1t is preuicted, however, that few of them realize the cost of living in Europe, where scales have risen more than in America, and that these re- turning ‘‘capitalists” will be disap- pointed. This will be especially true Word “Experience” Is One That Is Fre- quently Misused Even by Writers of Note. The meaning and uses of the word experience Is discussed in this man- ner by Archbishop Whately in his well- known work, “Elements of Logic”: “This word (experience), in its strict sense applies to what has occurred within a person’s own knowledge. kx- perience in this sense, of course, re- lates to the past alone. Thus it ts that a man knows by experience what sufferings he has undergone in some disease; or, what height the tide reach- ed at a certain time and place. “More frequently the word Is used to denote judgment which is derived from experience in the primary sense, by reasoning from that, fn combina- tion. Thus a man may assert, on the ground of experience, that the tide may always be expected, under such circumstances, to rize to such a height. Strictly speaking, this cannot be known by experience. but is a con- clusion derived from experience and othér data. Tt is In this sense only that experience can be applied to the future, or, which comes to the same _thing. to anv_veneral fact.” GARDNER SAYS EFFORTS FAILED Minneapolis Man Was Unable to Get Relief From Trouble Until He Took Tanlac “My efforts to find a medicine or treatment that would overcome my troubles, failed completely until I commenced taking Tanlac,” said Earl 0. Freeby, a well known gardner who lives at 705 Kenwood Parkway, Minneapolis, while talking to a Tan- lac representative the other day. “I had a bad attack of pneumonia about eighteen months ago,” con- tinued Mr. Freeby, “and up to the time I commenced taking Tanlac I had been having a pretty tough time of it ever since: For about three months after getting up from this spell I was not able to do any work at all. I finally improved to the ex- tent that I was able to do a little work and then the ‘Flu’ hit me, and this just about put the finishing touch to me. Well, I managed to pull through this trouble and after being in bed for several weeks I was able to be up again, but my entire system was left in' a terrible weak, rundown condition. I didn’t have any appe- tite to speak of and what little I did eat didn’t seem to give me any strength or energy to.get about very much, and the different medicines I took didn’t seem to do me any good at all. “I had been reading so much about Tanlac, and what it had done for so many other people, so I decided to give it a trial myself. I didn’t think it was possible for anybody to im- prove as fast as I did after I began taking Tanlac. Why, my troubles have been completely overcome, and I am so well and strong now that I not only put in full time at my work -levery day, but I work in my garden at home until dark every night. I have such a big appetite that three hearty meals a day doesn’t satisfy me, and I have to eat a little be- tween meals. In fact, I just feel fine all the time and never enjoyed better general health in my life. have induced a good many people to take Tanlac, and every one of them have been greatly benefitted by it, and I certainly take pleasure in' rec- ommending it to anybody who is in a rundown condition from any cause.” Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French _& Moon, and in Baudette by J. Will- iams. of Italy, it is believed; where it has long been the custom to go to Ameri- ca a few years and return a well-to- do-citizen. The greatest permanent rush of peoples will be to ‘the small nations freed from yokes of Austria and Ger- many by the allied vietory, it is thought, judging from indications at consulates of Poland, Checko-Slova- kia, Servia, and Rumania. ‘There. is also a strong movement under way toward countries formerly under, the Russian Czar’s rule, especially Finns and Lithuanians. According to emis- saries of the Russian Soviet govern- ment in New York, more than half a million Russians throughout the country want to return to Russia. ‘1t is impossible te estimate the strength of the movement to Ger- many and Austria, there being no consulat representatives of these countries in America. Economists see in the emigration movement serious problems for Amer- ica, which may lose almost a million working men in the course of two or three years. It is said this will cause a scarcity of the so-called cheap labor for unskilled work, and keep wages high. At the same time Europe will gradually get more labor., which will tend to reduce wages on that con- tinent, and probably reduce prices, though the emigrants will be scat- tered through such a large popula- tion that they will not effect Euro- pean countries as much as their ab- sence will be felt. in the United States. Sociologists see in the movement a purifying of the American national- ity, which has been strengthened and welded together by the war. Re- moval of that part of the population which has no desire of being assimi- lated would be a good thing, they think, in spite of the shortage of la- bor it might create. . —_— SHOULD REFER TO THE PAST| wyen How to-Mend Pails. division of labor began to *“happen” things went along very fast until now we have become so speclal- ized that in the manufacture of even the simnplest things there are an aston- 1shing number of processes.

Unless the inflammation ci be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Such conditions you can readily overcome, and prolong life by taking the ad- vice of Dr. Pierce, which is “keep the kidneys in good order.” “Avoid too much meat, alcohol or tea.
