Published . in advance, §1.50 0 O e LML G L ST T GOOD TREATMENT OF THE BEEF CALF PAYS. W. H. Peters, professor of animal husbandry at University Farm, emphasizes the fact that the most profitable beef ani- mal is the one that has the capacity to eat and manfacture into beef the greatest amount of feed, and not the one that can sub- sist on the least and poorest ration. “There are thousands of two and three year old beef cattle that can eat plenty of feed,” he says, “but many of them are not able to manufacture much beef out of it, largely because their growth was stunted, their vitality weakened, and their beefy conformation lost through lack. of proper and sufficient feed when they were calves.” Present high prices for cattle and feed, says Mr. Peters, make it more clear than ever before that there are two ways of securing a profit from beef cattle. One of the two sources of profit, he explains, is through the production of a good well grown beefy type of animal that will attract attention and a consequent high price when it reaches the market. The other source of profit is by keeping down the cost of production to the lowest minimum consistent with full development. “Sources of profit may be influenced adversely or advan- tageously according as the beef calf is treated,” says Mr. Peters. . B ——— WHEN PERSHING SAILED, A. E. F. CEASED. When General Pershing sailed from the Port of Brest recently, the “A. E. F.’ ceased to exist. Prior to his departure, orders were prepared dividing the ‘American Expeditionary forces into two groups and abolishing the term “AEF” effective the day the commander-in-chief de- parted. Instructions concerning this change have been received by Lieut. Colonel E. L. Hooper at 311 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis and hereafter all official corespondence to American forces in Europe will be addressed to the American Forces in France, or the American Forces in Germany. “American Forces in France” are under command of Bri- }gaidfet General William D. Conner, the headquarters being at . Paris..- “American Forces in Germany” are under command of ‘Major General Henry T. Allen, with headquarters at Coblentz, . Germany. ERNC HOW TO SAVE SUGAR IN MAKING JELLIES. . A second extraction of fruit juices for jelly making: is re- commended in this time of high priced sugar by specialists of ‘the U. S. department of agriculture. One cup of water should be © added to each pound of pulp, the mixture being cooked 20 min- utes and dripped a second time and subjected to some pressure The juices from the two extractions may be com- bined to advantage before sweetening. Good jellies may also be made with one-half cup of sugar to one cup of juice, but the yield, of course, will be less. One-half of the sweetening may be glucose or sorghum syrup, and if the other half is granu- lated sugar there will be little noticeable difference. A good jelly can be made from grapes with glucose or corn syrup even when no sugar is used. 2 . T R A former American in Canada thinks the United States made a poor showing in the war.

THEATERS QUAINT LITTLE GIRL. That she is “the sweetest little girl i the movies,’ is a phrase that is gradually becoming linked with the name of Vivian Martin, who stars in Raramount pictures. Miss Martin’s portrayals are always so unaffected that those who see her pictures might almost be said to be in love with her. In her latest production, ‘“The Home Town Girl,” which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Thursday. Miss Martin plays the role of a quaint, little New England girl, whose fidelity to the man she loved is as immova.le as the mgun- tain. It is the sort of role which has gained for her the great army of ad- mirers of which she can, but does not, boast. It is predicted that *“The Home Town Girl” will rank among the best pictures of its class. “Zip and Zest,” a two part Big V comedy, is also on the Elko theatre program for tonight and tomorrow. STIRRING ROMANCE. James Oliver Curwood, writer of rugged, stirring romances of the Northwest wilderness, big game Mr. Morey, as Steele, has a role that tests his dramatic as well as his physical strength, and every scene rings true of the northwest. Splen- did snow scenes, dog sleds and voy- ageurs on snowshoes add charm to the picture, which was directed by Paul Scardon last winter in the wild- est sections 'of northern New York state. o In the supporting cast are Betty Blythe, .George Majeroni, Denton Vane and Robert Gaillard. 8ling Gives Rellef. Great relief from pain in neuritis of the arm has been gained from the use of a sling described by Dr. R. T. Wil- llamson in tne British Medical Jour- nal. The sling passes over the shoul- der of the unaffected arm and under the elbow of the painful arm in such a way that it slightly raises it. This, by raising the shoulder and collar bone, takes off the pressure upon the nerve roots and prevents the weight of the arm from dragging on these nerves. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER MAY RECOVER WORKS OF ART Possibility That Waters of the Rhone Will Give Up Sarcophagi Long in Thclr_Keepi_ng.»”&,( An ancient story of the greed of kings has: been resurrected by an erudite member of the Institute de France, Mr. Adrien Blanchet. The fact is there is some prospective work on hand for the utilization of the Rhone water power. Thus/do ancient history and modern enterprise come to hobnob- in the revue des" efu anciennes. The story tells how: the. king of France, Charles IX, comfng one day to Arles, saw the- Roman Sar cophagl and wished them his. He did not covet long, for the next act in this kingly episode was the shipping of the most perfect of Rome’s monuments en route for the capital city. This may have furnished a later king of France, namely, Louis XIV, with the precedent for the removal of the statue of Mes- salina: from Bordeaux; not that that monarch ever needed either precedent or encouragement for. his actlons. The sarcophagi started on their journey. It was in the year 1565. They had unfor- tunately not’ gone beyond the| famous Pont-Saint-Esprit, before the boats sank beneath so unusual and weighty a load. Now, the congress for the de- velopment of water power, which sat in February this year, discussed among other schemes the transformation of the Pont-Saint-Esprit. The question is —and it will be admitted to be an ab- sorbing one=during fhe excavations in the bed of the Rhone will those sarco- phagi, lost nearly four centuies ago, be recovered? MORE THAN WILLING .TO GO ] | Senator’s Suggestion, Meant as- Sar- casm, Probably Was Wish Closest to Adventurer’s Heart. Maj. Cushinan A. Rice of ‘Minne- sota, the original “Soldier of Fortune,” dropped in to see Senator Knute Neél- son the other day, on his way back from war. This last war made about the fortieth Rice has been in, so the veteran Minnesota senator ' thought Rice had had enough. “Cushman,” the senator said, “why don’t you quit roaming around, go home and run for office? Your, mute relatives have been govemors,‘flehfa-l tors, etc.,, and there is no reason why you should not serve your state.” ' Rice did not seem greatly impressed, so Nelson became somewhat warmer in his remarks. “If you're bound to fight, why not | get over into Russia, among the-reds, | and get some real action?” Nelson sald, sarcastically. | Whereupon Rice leaped into the alr. “Say, senator,” he shouted. “if you'll fix it up o I caun get over there, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do foF Jou.” That’s the curse of the wargeMng foot, as the poets would’rgmgk:d-__ | Washington Star. L SRR Didn't Know Ty. Hiram Johnson, Republican senator trom California, is one of the hottest baseball fans in the country, Jim{Phe- lan, Democratic senator, knows. noth- [| ing about the game. Here is proof of the latter statement. The other ‘'day Walter Johnson, pre- mier pitcher of the American league, and Ty Cobb, the greatest ball player in all history, perhaps, paid_the sen- } ate a visit. After they had been intro- duced all around and been the sdbject f of a great deal of hero worship;; Phe- | lan went over to Eddie Halsey of the | senate staff, and asked: 3 “Who is this Ty Cobb, anyhow?” Halsey almost passed away, but he managed to tell Phelan that “Cobb is a fellow who plays ball for a living.” Meantime Johnson was enjoying hugely the visit of the two ball play- ers. Next Morning. My brother told me this. Marle is his lady friend, Mrs. Hemming, the mother of his chum. He said: . “You.know Marie has one of these bright-red sweaters. I took her to a dance in the park one night and she wore it. Some of the fuzz from the sweater rubbed off on my coat sleeve. Next morning®I was in a rush to catch my train and forgot to brush it oft Mrs. Hemming and Dud were on the train and we all sat together. While I was talking Mrs. Hemming leaned over and began to pick this lint off my sleeve. Well, that was an ems barrassing moment.—Chicago Trlbune.\ The Engineer’'s Eyes. The importance of the eyesight test | 38 understood in a general way, but few people realize the tax laid on the eyesight of an engine driver during a long run. It takes years for a driv er to learn thoroughly all the signals en a complicated system, and he must be able to pick out his own at a glance in the maze of a great junc- tion. On the Northwestern railway alone more than 17,000 signals are lit ' every night, and a driver working from London to Crewe and back is con- trolled by nearly 600 signals.—London Chronicle. Aunty Would Help. Bill Bush of L.A.A.C. was showing an elderly lady the virtues of the car he sells. He made many turns and at ; the proper times extended his arm as a turning signal. The old lady watched the proceeding " for some time. Then she craned her ; neck and looked at the sky. “Mister,” she said sternly, tapping ' Bill on the shoulder, “you just tend to your driving. It don’t look like ! raln no how, but if it should, I'll le¢ you know.’—Los Angeles Times. —d \ WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1919 ' ——— e e B R A Spiidi Are the- Farmers’ Safest .+ Cash JFrop FOR SALE ON EASY TERMS, ON BANKABLE PAPER, OR TRADE FOR FOREST PRODUCTS OR LAND 60 Teams of Western Dakota and Montana Horses, ranging in prices from $125 to $300 per team. 60 Single Horses and Colts, $25 to $125 each. 20 Brood Mares with' Last Spring Colts at Their Sides, $35 to $125 each.
