've Paae “ running of the TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1919 THEATRE BUILDING OF CONCRETE BLOCK IS CLEARBROOK PROJECT Farmer Returns From Canada; Reports Crops Failure, Lack of Rain (Special to Pioneer.) Clearbrook, Nov. 11.—The next on the program for Clearbrook is a mod- .ern hall opera house. ‘With the mod- .ern electric light plant going in here .as fast as labor and time will permit, it is only a short time until some one will grasp the opportunity and reap the many benefits and money making .specialties which such an undertak- ing will have in store for the man or men, with the brass to go after it. -“Juice” will now be furnished by the \Clearbrook Electric company for the “movies,” which alone will represent a nice source of income. Clearbrook is large enough ‘to operate two movie entertainments ‘for each week during the winter months, and one for each week dur- ing the summer. A strong point to be taken into comsideration is the fact that Clearbrook draws upon a large rich and ever increasing farm- ing territory, swarming with auto- “mobiles and people, who as a general ‘ruleilove to auto into their city and ‘take in a good clean entertainment, and up-to-date “movies.”’ It might “be well to mention that the business men pf Clearbrook would hardly con- :gider or.support an opera house or modern hall, which would not cover a space at least 40 feet wide by 100 feet long, and 16 feet high. The -same can be built very reasonable from concrete blocks manufactured here by the Clearbrook Cement Pro- .ducts company. Parties who consid- «er or figure on the same, should get in touch immediately with Emil T. ‘Evenson or Arnold Jensen, who will ‘be in position to give them further -information and assistance in carry- ing forth the good work. The party .or parties that figure on getting in «on the ground floor should get busy -at once, as there is no time to loose :as 'parties are already getting ready -to present their plans, provide a site :and get ready for early operations. Willie Iverson of Stanley, Beltrami .county, visited here last week with ‘his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Iver Olson. Targer Haugen and family, from near the Waldeville district, in Can- .ada is back here again. He reports that crop failures due to no rain has ‘held them up for several years, and that the country in general is becom- ing depopulated by reason of the peo- ple moying out. He is glad to be ‘back in good old Clearwater county, where he intends to stay for the rest -of his natural days. » There is much discussion as to “‘timber’’ for governor of Minnesota, -for next year as well as prospecté for success. We cannot believe that we are in any danger. Courageous and wise leadership is needed in these ‘times, and we are in position to fur- nish the same, if the “call” of the ‘people is heeded, regardless of politi- cal color, whickh must be eliminated in these times and under present con- «ditions, when 100 per cent American- ism is the issue at stake. Clean and undefiled “Americanism” today is the issue in our land, and the only is- sue mark our word! If the political manipulators in our state cannot see the hand writing on the”wall and rally with the people to the standard of a clean, tried, true, courageous, «<ompetent, capable man with execu- tive' ability on par with any man within the state, they may as well fold their hands, crawl to bed, say their prayers and he buried forever more, as they will never more be con- ‘sidered in the grand old state of ‘Minnesota under any consideration. Now is the time to act for the inde- pendent and free loving American press in the great and wonderful -state of Minnesota to strike for free- dom nad declare themselves as a mighty unit for unanimous support of a program which will insure them the election of a governor of Minne- sota, who is true blue, who has served in the late world war with Thonor as thousands of other ‘“‘dough boys over there”” in France, and shared their trubles, dangers and pleasures, as the case may have been, ‘Samuel G. Iverson, a former state.au- ditor. Let Minnesota set the pace and elect one of our honored fight- ing men to our governorship in the first election held after the war, and success is assurea. It is now up to the state press to get in line before it is to late, as the people are fight- ing “mad,’ ’if you please, and line up fer a man who is in position to ap-| peal and get the support of all right thinking, liberty loving and true blue Americans, regardless of part label and considerations. If such a pro- gram is not carriea forth we will not give a snap of our finger for the nom- ination of either the democratic or republican parties, as they will be swept off their feet with a rush, un- less wise leadership and cool heads take the situation in hand and pilot the ship of state through the troubled waters into safe hands and calmer waters. There are only one class of men in the state today, who can save ‘the day, hold the lines, and bring vic- tory out of the present hopeless tur- moil, and that is the same and free country press, and none other, and ‘therefore it is now up to them to grasp the opportunity, present their man, stay by him, and the people as a whole wijll rally to their support .and honor the day.

Gabriel Ander- Ifiimigranté Must Learn English Within Five Years wASHINGTON.—-Deportntlon of immigrants after five years’ residence in the United States unless they learn to speak and read English is to be considered by the senate labor committee, Chairman Kenyon announces. Sena- tors on the investigating committee de- clare Americanization of foreign-born persons must be undertaken at once if grave industrial trouble is to be averted. “To neglect this duty means very troublesome times and very serious industrial troubles, as well as rapid growth of socialism,” Senator Walsh declared. He proposed to the labor committee that a bill be drafted pro- viding for deportation of foreigners who have not learned English at the end of five years. accompany this, Walsh declared. Compulsory education and a shorter working day aaust Senator Kenyon’s concern upon discovering that more than 8,500000 residents of this country are unable to read or write the American larguage ought to be shared by every thorough American. The senator thinks a moderate proficiency in our language, written and spoken, ought to be required of each newcomer. This is a modest regulation. Surely we cannot be called exacting if we ask our new-found citizens to acquire the fundamentals of daily communication. Real progress in American citizenship ought at least to imply the capacity for understanding the general principles of social intercourse. otherwise. . It is doubtful if we can make real progress When they speak their native languages they are coining their native thoughts—resistance to oppression and the demand for freedom. Our task is tdo encourage them to think American thoughts and coin them in American currency. As soon as the newcomer can think “home” and coin it in American speech he begins to have some coliception of all that citizenship here connotes. —————————————— e ————— is fast taking its place in the states as one of the foremost potato grow- ing counties in the state. The above parties have all farms at or near Clearbrook. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Nygaard are now happily domiciled in their fine new home. Saturday was Clearbrook’s stock shipping day in that six carloads left our yards for the Twin Cities. This is only speaking of the doings in this line for one day, which has almost been a regular doings here every week during the fall months the past few years, and is proof in itself as to the magnificent trade territory covered by this hustling trade cen- ter. Peter Lindquist, one of Leon’s ori- 200 acre farm aere a short time ago to I. D. Kreser, departed the latter part of last week for Montana, where ginal pioneers, who solu his fine he will visit this winter with his sis- ter. Two of Clearbrook’s splendid young men left here Thursday even- ing for Minneapolis to enter the Dun- woody institute, where they will take up studies along electrical lines. They are none other than our splen- did service men, Tallack Johnson and Carl Wennberg. Commencing at one o’clock, No- vember 15th, the Ladies Aid of Greenwood will hold their annual sale at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rou- ert Brue. Free lunch, all welcome. Be sure to attend. Mrs. Olina Sorenson, who has late- ly sold her nine farm south of Bagley, spent a few days here last week, vis- iting with her daughter, Miss Sylvia, who is the assisting bookkeeper at the Mercantile establishment. She also visited with Mr. and Mrs. Christ Sorenson at Gonvick. We under- stand that she intends in the near fu- ture to purchase a home here in Clearbrook, which she intends to make her future home. BOYS GIVEN GUOD TRAINING talian Youth Taught to Become Self. Dependent to a Degree That Seems Amazing. One of the strangest cities in the world, composed entirely of little gentlemen, and graced with the most radiant nomenclature—it has been christened, because of its peculiar construction, a ‘“dry Venice”—is Madesimo, Italy. The very names of streets—Generosity, Gayety, Cor- diality—breathe the atmosphere of this juvenile Utopia, where all so- cial differences have disappeared be- neath the explorer’s uniform. Nor is this eity such in name only; it has all the departments that go to make up a flourishing municipality, and its youthful citizens are trained in all the civic virtues, plus those sterner qualities that come only from direct contact with nature and the solution of problems as they arise. To the English or American reader comparison with the boy scout pro- gram in its original form is inevi- table. These youngsfers are taught, for example, to go three days hon- estly without a soldo (we would say a cent) in their pockets; to establish telegraphic communication, to serve as nurses—in short, to become as self-dependent as is consistent with modern progress. T in tne ruture. Recently several airplanes were moving over the Circle, and the usuai crowd had stopped to watch them. An old woman in the crowd began count- ing. “One, two, three, four, five,” she counted. “Five of those things.” Then she turned to the man nearest her. “Did you ever see the like?” she asked. “Five of those things. Why, pretty soon the atmosphere will be just lousy with them.”—Indlanapolis News. PRAISES WOMEN OF NIPPON California Newspaper Speaks in High- est Terms of Those Who Reside in That State. R . Japan is a wonderful nation In a very great many ways, it has accom- plished marvels, it has leaped forward at almost a single bound into a front place among the world powers, but we are convinced that the greatest thing about Japan is its women. All women are, of course, charming, but our observation is that the women of Japan are especially and particu- larly so. We see much of themn here in California, and we have an oppor- tunity to judge. To begin with, the majority of them are very pretty, and all of them have a certain grace that can come .only from centuries of gentlenzss and good breeding. They have soft voices. There is an irresistible appeal in their manners. It is often commented that the men of Japan have adapted themselves to ‘Western ways with an incredible ease. But they have not equaled their wom- en in the performance of this difficult feat for an Oriental race to adapt it- self to Occidental customs and habits. In many social functions as well as in public, numerous Japanese women have been seen here in California. The grace of their bearing and the charm of their manners have deeply impressed all with whom they have come in contact. Japan is a nation that had no music, yet the most popu- lar singer on the operatic stage today Is a Japanese woman. And this is only an instance of their conquests. We do not think there is any rea- son to worry about what Japan will or will not do in the world. Any na- tion that cen produce such women as that nation produces will not only succeed, but will endure.—Los Angeles ‘ Times. OLDEST OF FRENCH JOURNALS Gazette de France Was First Pub. lished 238 Years Ago, and Is Still in Existence. The first number of the Gazette de France, the oldest newspaper in France, was published 283 years ago, May 30, 1631, under the editorial di- rection of Docror Renaudot. This most powerful of the early journalists of France was born in 1584 and, tter graduating in medicine, established himself in Paris about 1612. RichelieG and Plerre d'Hoziner, the genealogist, are sald to have inspired Renaudot in establishing the Gazette, which was published weekly and consisted of two small sheets, the first bearing the title of Gazette and the second Nouvelles Ordinaires de Divers Endroits. Doc- tor Renaudot established the prece- dent, long followed in European jour- nalism and by no means extinct, of presentirg foreign news first and rele- gating domestic and local news to the last page. Soon after the establish- ment of the Gazette Doctor Renaudot was granted an exclusive monopoly of printing and selling newspapers in France. When the founder died in 1653 the Gazette passed to his sons. The title of Gazette de France was first used In the middle of the eight- eenth century. It has been published under that title ever since, with the exception of a brief period during the revolution of 1848, when the name was temporarily changed to Le People Francals. Whnen Bitten by a Mad Dog. When bitten by an animal that is suspected as mad, the best thing to do, according to Drs. J. C. Regan and A. Silkman of New York, who describe a recent case in Archives of Diagnosis, is to squeeze the wound to encourage bleeding, wash it with a solution of mercurie chloride (1 in 1,000), cauter- ize it with fuming nitric acid, and ap- ply a wet dressing of the mercuric chloride solution. The wound should never be sewn up; if a deep punctured wound, it should be cut open with a scalpel. . The sooner this treatment is applied the more likely it is to be successful. Afterward the routine Pasteur treat- ment should be taken. Store Your Battery for the Winter | We are prepared to store your battery and deliver it in the spring in first class condition.
