F X g WEDNSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1919 CLEARWATER SAILOR HOME: SAW SCAPPA FLOW SCUTTLING Writer Gives Connor’s Defini- tion of What Bolshe- vist Really Is (Special to Pioneer.) Clearbrook, Dec. 17.—Only a few days left until Christmas. Have you done your shopping yet? If not, Clearbrook is a good point to make, as the stores here are loaded from cellar to garret with good thing to eat, as well as small and large presents of every kind and de- séription, suitable for the small folks as well as the older ones. We have for some time noted that the two newspapers at our county seat have failed to put in a good word@ directly boosting for good roads under the Babcock system, which the voters of our state will pass upon at the next general elec- tion in 1920. Rev. E. Bjorkquist, who for the last two years has made his home on a farm in Holst township, last week departed for McMinneville, Oregon, where he has accepted a position as general missioner for the western bpart of the state of Oregon, given * him by the Swedish Baptist church council. Rev. Bjorquist was one of our most highly respected and hon- ored citizens, and we grieve in gen- eral with the people here over his loss, which is really more of a com- munity loss than it is the loss of a church parish. May the Rev. and his splendid family find themselves satisfied in their new home and sur- roundings, as McMinneville, and the state of Oregon is the big gainer at our loss. Providing they for some Teason or another should not feel at home on the western coast, they may Test assured that they will always find a happy welcome back into the Clearbrook fold at any time. Harry Westrum trapped a fine grey fox Monday morning. Ole Lee, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Al- bert C. Suitberg, of the township of Leon, who enlisted in the navy in May 1917, returned Friday direct from Portsmouth, Maine, where he obtained his honorable discharge. ‘Mr. Lee is undoubtedly the first boy in Clearbrook to enter the services of his country when we went to war with Germany, and the last to return, and undoubtedly holding the longest service record from our county. He has served as first class cook most of the time. In April he went with a squadron numbering forty ships or more over to Europe, and was at Inverness, England, at the time the ‘Germans sunk their surrendered fleet in Scappa Flow, was called out there and helped the English round up what wa® left of the “Huns” after their dirty work. After this, was on duty a long time cleaning up the North Sea for mines. When this work was done they took a trip over to Archangle, Russia, visited differ- ent points in Norway, France and Portugal, before returning here. Mr. Lee has seen something of service with Uncle Sam, and is not afraid to take another turn with him. John H. Norby was called to Haw- ley, Minn., Thursday evening, upon the receipt of a message that his father was very low. The last heard from John seems to indicate that his father was a little better. Still some cold, with 30 below zero Monday morning. A rolling, happy, bouncing, big]|. baby girl came to brighten the happy home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bjorquist here, bright and early Saturday morning. Milton’s happy features has shown several degrees of bright- ness since the happy event and his many friends have ever since been busy smoking nothing but the best. Dr. C. G. Forrest in attendance. Mother and child doing fine. Theo. Richardson of Clover town- ship braved the sub-zero weather Saturday and came in to do some pre- Christmas shopping. Montana Hill-Billies or any other Hill-Billies for that matter, who henceforth intend to hunt the wild sheep in Clover or elsewhere in this section of Clearwater county before time and without legal procedue may hereafter expect a warm reception. You are right boys, hand it to them. Here is Rev. Charles W. Gordon’s definition of a bolshevist. He says that, “any man who puts his class above his nation is a bolshevist.” Dr. Gordon is better knmown as Ralph Connor, and is a very prominent sol- dier, author and minister. To our judgment and understanding of tne subject involved it seems to us that Rev. Gordon has come closer, and we believe absolutely to the point, cover- ing it completely and in such 2 man- ner as to leave no reason for doubt, as to the real, true and dliterary definition of the word bolshevist, in its present day meaning ané objects involved in its workings. He has gerved for two years in the trenches in Highland@ garb, in the kneeless uniform of the 43rd Cameron High- landers and can thus speak both from experience and authoritively. He further says: ‘“Play the game and be fair,” as follows: “The sane people of the world are gwinging away from socialism. “The great lesson of the great war is this: You can knock a man down with a club but you ean’t make him your friend with a club. “The motto for everyone in this reconstruction era is: Play the game and be fair. “It is not foolish talk that the world need fear. UInsincere talk is at the root of our national ills.” HELPING GRANDFATHER. The other evening five-year-old Jo- seph was over at his grandfather’s house for supper. While they were eating grandfather sneezed. It stopped his conversation a minute, and then just as he started to re- sume it Joseph spoke up: “What do you say, grandpa ?”’ he asked. Grandfather looked mystified a minute; then again began to talk. Again Joseph persisted, “What do you say, grandpa?” More mystified looks. Then Joseph informed him. “Grandpa,” he said sweetly, “isn’t this a ’scuse me table like ours ?” RENEWED TESTIMONY No one in Bemidji who suffers backaches, headaches or distressing urinary ills can afford to ignore this Bemidji woman’s twice-told story. It is confirmed: testimony that no Be- middji resident can doubt. Mrs. Joe Blondo, 202 Minnesota Ave., says: “My back ached so I couldn’t rest at night. It was hard for me to turn over or shift my-. posi- tion when lying down. My kidneys were also disordered. Knowing the good results one of my people had obtained from Doan’s Kidney Pills, 1 tried them. - They soon removed the aching and strengthened my kidneys. I was all right and have felt well ever since.” OVER THREE YEARS LATER, Mrs. Blondo said: “I am glad to say no disorder of the kidneys has troubled me since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me some years ago. To- day I cheerfully repeat my former words of praise.” Price 60¢, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Blondo had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Why Druggists Recommend Swamp-Root For many years druggists have watched with much interest the re- markable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kid- ney, liver and bladder medicine. It is a physician’s prescription. Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature in- tended they should do. Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle.
