FPAGE TWO . “How to Win Though Behind” might well be said of the new special offer—votes and gold—that is now dates who have accomplished little or nothing are waking up to a realiza- tion of the grand opportunity that is before them, and are plunging into the race, upsetting carefully built-up vote standing as though they were a house of cards. In the city districts competition is keen. Yet, the same applies to the country districts. In a word, EVERY- WHERE they are taking hold of the mew offer with a fevor and determina- -tion that brooks no defeat. It’s like a gigantic checkerboard A i@ -that covers Bemidji and eurrounding i territory. Every move is made to 7 . <ount for something. Strategy plays &b its part, wits are matched to gain the 1 winning line. To win one of The Pioneer’s three - automobiles is but a matter of start- ing after it. If you haven’t entered it the campaign yet, do so now. It's i your best time. Or, if you haven’t started gathering votes very energeti- cally yet, what better opportunity could you have than in this 150,000 extra vote offer. There will be no detter chance later. : Distriot No. 1. This district includes all of the city of Bemidji.

Just before the war began, during excavations in the anclent Mogunti- acum, under the auspices of the Arche- ological soclety of Mayence, there was found a hen’s egg which was es- timated to have been buried in the earth for something like 19 centuries, Moguntiacum was built by Drusus, the son 6f the Roman emperor Augus- tus, in the year 14 B. C. Upon the site of the ancient Roman castrum or encampment near the city the excava- tions in question brought to light many Interesting relics, including some wa- ter clsterns of Roman make. It was in one of these, which was located some 20 feet below the surface, that a damaged Roman claypot was discov- ered containing the shell of a broken egg and also a whole egg that had been kept from being smashed by a shred of the damaged pot, which cov- ered it. The ancient egg was depos- {ted in the municipal museum.

R A e o THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER | VOLCANO ERUPTS: BLACK ROOSTER IS THE ONLY LAST HOPE Tradition of Long Ago Is Recalled by Spouting Wild Mountain (By United Press.) Hilo, Island of Hawaii, (By Mail.) —Owners of coal black game cocks are keeping out an eye to see that the chicken house door is locked se- curely every night, And that’s all because the volcano of Kilauea is now the most active it has beeen for 35 years. Six months ago Kilauea was sput- tering away in its mile wide bowl of burning, molten rock, with the level of the flaming crlmson sea of boiling lava 900 feet from the top of the crater. The nigh{ that Secretary of the Navy Daniels and his-party paid Ki- ¢ lauea a visit—the latter part of Au- gust—the level of the seething lava lake was about 50 feet below the crater’s top. Several overflows already have oc- cured. A cone which once jutted 500 feet abpove the crater’s top has melted away into the sea of fire. Two hours after the secretary and his party left the volcano the rock wall between the main crater and a second smaller one, caved in, joining the craters. And Kilauea still is going strong. As to the connection of all this with coal black game cocks? Oh, that’s very simple. Many years ago, when the Sslands first were becuming a white man’s land, Kilauea " became angry. It roared and hissed and sputtered and the ground shook. Theén the lava overflowed and moved slowly down the mountain side toward Hilo. The native Hawaiians had been Christians but a comparatively short time. Their fright knew no bounds, for the island legends were full of the tales of what Kilauea did when Madame Pele, the goddess who lived in Kilauea’s crater, became angry. So the Hawaiians prayed that the flow. would stop. But it didn’t. Then they danced. But that was ineffective. Finally, forgetting their Christian. ity for a time, they sent a party by canoe to Honolulu to consult a few remaining priests of the days when they all worshipped the strange, South Sea dieties. “Throw a black rooster into the lava flow,” was the advice they brought back. The sleekest, shiniest cock on the island of Hawaii was picked for the sacrifice, and while the maidens danced, the warriors cast the squak- ing bird into the base of the lava flow. In an hour the flow had stopped. Madame Pele, the most feared god- dess of the island, evidently hud been satisfied with a chicken dinner. American residents of the’ island believe that if there is ever amother big lava flow, coal black roosters will come into demand once more. BOSTON MAN WANTS : STREET CAR RIDES FREE (By United Press.) Boston, Oct. 14.—Ralph S. Bauer, for many years an advocate of public ownership of street railway systems and free rides for the public, has sug- gested to the special state commie- sion on street railways that the Bos- ton Elevated Railway company’s sys- tem should be run on this plan. In advocating purchase by the pub- lic of Boston’s street railway system, Rauer asserted that the street car rider is a ‘“Money asset to the com- munity in which he rides.” He claimed that the street cars are used by those who give something of per- manent value to the city, and that in- stead of paying for the privilege of using the street railway system, they should be given the opportunity of doing so without paying any fare. Bauer says that high street car fares are discouraging business ex- pansion, and pointed out that the old custom of charging tolls on the coun- try’s highways had the same effect while that system was in operation. Ten to One Against. “Sqrry,” said the village constable, “but I'll have to arrest ye—ye've been drivin’ along at the rate of 50 miles an hour.” “You are wrong, my friend,” said the driver. “I say I wasn’t, and here’s $10 that says I wasn't.” “All right,” returned the constable, pocketing the money. *“With ten to one against me I ain’t goin’ to subject the county to th’ expense of a trial.” Father’'s Foot. “Is it absolutely necessary that I speak to your father?” asked the wooer after the girl of his heart had promised to be his. “Why, of course. He is the head of the family, you know.” “It isn't the head of the family 'm afrald of; it's the foot.” —London Ideas. NOTICE.
