PAGE TWO THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1919 QUITE UNABLE TO SEE JOKE Victim of Halloween Prank Commented Somewhat Bitterly on the Doings of the Elves. She was standing in her back yard on the morning after Halloween. Like many of her neighbors in Woodruff place, she is a lover of flowers, spending much time in her garden among her floral pets. Just now she was surveying the wreckage of & long rose arbor, built last sum- mer, under her personal - direction .and especially designed to develop and exhibit the beauties of some fa- vorite climbers. The ruin was com- plete, arbor torn down, rose bushes uprooted, garden trampled, the hope of beauty for next summer but a memory. A neighbor across the alley called out: “Well, Mrs. Roselover, the Hal- loweeners treated your garden a lit- tle rough.” “Yes,” she replied. “I .suppose they called it fun, but I hardly know how to classify that kind of fun. Perhaps it is of the .aame old aboriginal brand in which the peinted savages indulged when they tied their victim to the stake, built s slow fire under him, and then howled in glee at his sufferings. At lgast, right now I feel very much like the victim at the stake.”—In- disnapolis Newe. DURING THE COLD SPELL. Mrs. Bug: Hurry Mr. Plumber | aad fix my broken pipe. TO RESTQRE FINISH. Most brides now bewail the fact that furniture has lost its “new” look. The sheen of grandma’s “high- boy” is soon lost beneath a coating of city dust. The library table soon shows signs of last night's card e. A simple little formula that has been known to help is the follow- ing: To a half-bucket of water, add a tablespoonful of olive oil. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the furniture. Follow this with a brisk polishing with a dry cloth. You will be sur- prised to see the brilliant finish that ig revealed. Mahogany, particularly, is benefited by this treatment.” ONCE MORE: SAFETY GOGGLES. One of the leading railroads has provided 55,000 pairs of goggles for its employees since it began its cam- paign of eye protection about five years ago. It is the practice of this road to provide lenses in accordance with the prescription, in the case of employees required to wear glasses under ordinary conditions.—Scien- tific American. SHE PROMISED MUCH. They had just become engaged. “I shall love,” she cooed, “to share all your griefs and troubles.” “But, darling,” he purredr, “T have none.” “No,” she agrced; “but I mean when we are married.”—London Tit-Bits. MIGHT TRY THIS OVER HERE. Advertisement in London Times —*Lost—On Great Western rail- way, somewhere about Maidenhead, all sense of punctuality. Anyone— railroad officials included—return- ‘ing same will earn gratitude of trav- elers on 6:50 Paddington-Wycombe vtrain"’—Boston Transcript, MOST UNUSUAL, Mrs. A.—The new cook behaves very strangely. I’m rather suspicious | 1 of her. Mrs. B.—What does she do? Mrs. A.—She acts as if she " thought the whole house belongs to me.—Boston Evening Transcript. EXCUSE NEEDED. “T need another new dress.” “Why don’t you get it then?” “I can’t without a good excuse. Won’t you invite me to a party or something P’ REPORTORIAL REALISM. Clergyman—The couple I just married were deaf and dumb. Reporter—Ah, then I’ll say it was a quiet wedding.—Boston Evening Tranecript. HAS UNIQUE JoB Dr. Ford A. Carpenter of Los An- geles has the distinction of filling the only position of its kind in the United States. He is head of the newly es- tablished department of meteorology apd .aeronautics in the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. He resigned after 81 years in the government weather bureau service to apply his knowledge of climatic condi- tions to the better development of ag- riculture, horticulture and aerial navi- gation, through practical application of established facts of atmospheric conditions. In engaging Doctor Carpenter to head its new department, the chamber becomes active in the development of aerial navigation. Climatic conditions in southern California are such that it §s belleved that that section of the country will equal any in transporta- tion by air. The new department will co-operate with the two government aviation flelds and the balloon &chool that are situated In the vicinity of Los Angeles. = NEW GERMAN HYMN OF HATE Offer Prayer That Poland May Be Paralyzed if She Absorbs Silesla. Berlin.—Germany has a new “Hymn of Hate” entitled “We German Up- per Silesians.” It is a epecimen of German anti-Polish propaganda and, translated, runs as follows: If Silesia becomes Polish, may God let children and cattle die unborn. May God paralyze and cripple the feet and hands of the Poles md blind their eyes. May he strike them, man and wom- an, with deafness and madness. No sound of rejoicing shall fill the lands of the Poles, but only groans and cries, May God thus slake the revenge of the Germans! . Large Squash. . Bemidji, Minn.—Agricultural exhib- its at the Beltrami county fair this year surpassed any ever shown in this section. The watermelon winning the blue ribbon weighed 82 pounds. A 19 pound citron was also a feature. Sev- eral Hubbard and Golden Hubbard: squashes, welghing about 85 pounds each, were on display, and a white squash weighing 90 pounds was a prize winner. A stock squash weigh- ing more than 100 pounds and a 76- pound pumpkin were also eye-daz- zlors. sunscribe for The Ploneer.

It’s Better to be safe than sorry. - Protect your records—your records protect your business. If fire should destroy your records tonight what would you do tomorrow? Do you fully realize what your records mean to you? You know the insurance companies demand to see your books and records in case of a fire. If you did net have the records, you would be compelled to produce certified copies. Could you produce this vital proof in case your building burned? Without them they have as much right to guess at the amount as you have. A GF ALLSTEEL SAFE approved by the fire underwriters is the best protection you can have. It positively protects what you want protected. .Made by The GENERAL FIREPROOFING CO. | J | | | | Sold by ‘ THE PIONEER PUBLISHING COMPANY ; BEMIDJI ) —— Defectiva D
