Once upon a time there was a man who “fired” his employees that he might have the pleasure of hiring them over again. That would seem to be some- what the way with the marine corps. It “fires” its men that the government may do them special honor. Sergt. Edgar Hayes, “a red-blooded patriot of the marine cofps, overheard an ‘asperslon-upon. the. uniform.qaf. his service, “Sergeant Hayes' promptly hit the speaker in the nose. The marine corps sat_ upon his case in solemn court-martial, and after much deliber- ation dismissed Sergeant Hayes from the service, thus creating civil disabil- ities. The case later was reviewed by the president, who pardoned Hayes and restored him to citizenship. Hayes has now been restored to the service and created a first lieutenart, an act of congress having empowered the pres- ident to make the appointment. It is a roundabout way of doing a man honor. And it shows something wrong with the system. We wonder what the dignified gentlemen of the court-martial would have done if it had been proved that Sergeant Hayes, now Lieutenant Hayes, having overheard an aspersion upon his honorable serv- ice, had condoned it by inaction.—Cin- cinnati Times-Star.

These are ‘“scme’” hailstones. MORE THAN MERE CHAUFFEUR New York Merchant Has Driver Who Knows Business Methods and Aids His Employer. “I don't believe in having too many carefully worked-out methods for pre- venting errors in an ‘organization,” writes L. Wertheimer in System, the magazine of business. Mr. Wertheimer is president of a concern which oper- ates five big: department stores in the northern part of New York city. He goes on to tell the plan he uses: “One of the best checks that I get on my business Is through my chauf- feur. I have to keep a machine at call all the time, so that I can get from store to store without delay. My driv- er Is not simply a driver; he is a high- grade man who knows a good deal about my fdeas of merchandising—a man who conceivably may some day be manager of one of my stores. “While he is waiting for me he does not simply sit outside in the machine. He wanders around the store, looking at displays, noticing how salesgirls deal with customers, whether our prices are by chance higher on this item or on that than they should be. Every morning his written observa- tions are placed on my desk; from them I have time and aguin gleaned pleces of information that made a big difference in the profits of the store.” - T Temaage— 2, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WOMAN'S CIVIC CLUB IS APPRECIATIVE OF PAST SUMMER FAVORS 'l'hank -All Who Co-operated Wlth Them; Sgeaker Tell- ) of Cost Reduction ¢ The Women’s Community & Civic club held its regular meeting Satur- day a.fl.ernoop in ; the Presbyterian church.

NEED TO SHOW CIVIC PRIDE Individual Citizens Must Recognize They Are Responsible for Town’s Good Appearance. Prosperity and a spirit of progress have caused a vast change for the bet. ter in the appearance and development of the smaller towns of the country In the past 25 years.. This is strtk< ingly voticeable in Indlana, Wwhidh’ fot" shade trees, well-kept lawns, and a general appearance of cheerful well- being. There are exceptions to the rule, however ; Indiana has many beau- tiful towns, but there are still some which are slipshod and carry the sug- gestion that their public spirit lan- guishes. Some stimulus to their pride. something to encourage local improve- ment and arouse the people to the fact that they are not keeping up with the times. is needed. It might be done by a state society that would grade the work, offer suggestions and show that a town may be made beautifyl without great expense and with each citizen ‘Star. doing his part.—Indianapolis Lumber Cut of 1918. The lumber cut of the United States in 1918 was 29,362,020,000 feet, as re- ported to the forest service up to June 15 by 14,758 mills. The com- plete total cut is 31,800,454,000 feet. based on the assumed operations of 22,546 mills. The computed cut in 1918 is 11 per cent smaller than the computed production in 1917. A comparison of the computed cut of several of the larger general produc- ing regions in 1918 with the figures for the preceding year shows a smali- er output by approximately 20 per cent tn the yellow-pine group of states, a decrease of 19 per cent in the North Carolina pine group and of 9 per cent in the Lake states. An increased cut of 2 per cent is noted for Oregon and Washington. New French Roads. French dispatches recently stated that the entire road comstruction pro- gram there will cost nearly two bil- lion francs, which it is estimated by Mr. Bedouce, budget reporter, will give France a road svetem superior to that before the war. One hundred and geventy-six million franes have béen allocnted to road repairs in the In- vaded regions. An Endless Chain. “We're very unsettled in our flat,” sal@ the worried-looking man at the club. “What'’s the friend. “Well, our children keep the next- door neighbors awake, so they pass the time by playing the plano; that makes the pet dog next door to them bark, and that keeps the children next door awake, and there’s so much noise through the building that there’s no chance at all of our children going to sleep.” trouble?” asked his Usefulness Gone. “] hear there are many poisonous snakes in your part of the country.” “Not now.

We shared the same of- fice and lunched at the same counter. In the midst of wild confusion, one day, a wounded negro rushed into our office and begged for protection. This was freely granted, for we had no race prejudices, in spite of our South- ern upbringing. We also poured salve on the negro’s bruises. “‘Yo' shuah been good to me,’ said the grateful darkey, turning to my brother—who, by the way, is now practicing in Los Angeles—‘an’ TI'll 'member it, doc.

Radio Telephone Useful, The extraordinary value of wireless telephony for directional purposes in connection with aircraft has been em- phasized recently in its relation to night flying, says the Scientific Amer- ican. It often happens of course, that in daylight inter-communication be- tween planes, or between wireless sta- tions and aircraft, is unnecessary, but in flying across country at night the use of the wireless telephone will cer- tainly become more efficacious.

The number of watches of various kinds and size and value which are now seen in the windows of the jewel- er-watchmakers of Paris reminds a correspondent of I’Eclaire of the watch which once was the property of Robes- plerre, and which the correspondent saw at an exhibition of curfos.

It opened In the center, the face be- ing in the lower section, while the top section was ornamented with pear leaves wrought in silver.
