THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER @AGE EIGHT | IRITISH CROPS FALLING OFF |"°TED MONUMENT CRUMBLING Estimates Show That Yield for the | Year Will Be Much Smailer Than ! Was Expected. Bemidji Ma_rkét Quotations Chicago, Jan. 14.—Potato receipts today were 39 cars. Market firm. Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin Round and Long Whites, sacked, $4.25 to $4.35; bulk, $4.30 to $4.45. Minnesota Kings, sacked, $4.10. Idaho Russets, $5.25 to $5.35. The preliminary/ statement of the ‘estimates of produce of corn, and |hay in Great Britain has now been esued.

Wheat ‘and beans are relatively the best apart from peas, which are a little ‘over average), but both are three bushels per acre under average. Only ‘twice in the last 35 years has a lower yield per acre of oats and hay been recorded, and only twice has there been a worse yield of barley. This low production per acre was to some extent compensated for, in certain cases, by the area under cultivation. | The total crops of wheat and oats, for example, though much smaller than last year, were relatively large. The -total yield of hay is the small- est for 35 years, excepting 1893, and that of barley the smallest save in 1915 and 1916. URGES SENSIBLE SHOES. Simplification of dress which should include the abolition of the high heel and the sharptoed shoe was urged by Dr. Augusta Rucker of New York, at the international conference of woman physicians. Savages of old, she said, developed a better race physically than modern peoples because of their natural and free tendencies. The speaker said that stockings worn by children were too short in foot length, which, cou- pled with tight shoes, reacts later on in life and often causes deformed feet, and lowered vitality. .

NORTH DAKOTA BOWLERS ROLLING AT FARGO (By United Press) Fargo, N. D, Jan. 14.—Many pre- miums are to be distributed at the four day tournament of the North Dakota Bowling association opening here today. Four teams are entered from Grand Forks, two from the Twin Cities; one from Winnipeg, and one each from Valley City, James- town, Tower City, Hillsboro, Gratton, Coopertown, and Minot. Glenn H. Spicer, Fargo, president of the association, has prepared for the biggest tournament in the history of the organization. Those in charge of the affair are: F. L. Whitney, 0. C. Stadden, R. D. Merrill, C. L. Ward, M. N. Hagen, and Glenn Spicer. LIEUT. COL. MCPOWELL ASSIGNED T0 MINNESOTA (By United Press) Minneapolis, Jan. 14.—Lieutcnant New ¥nglanu wws veen surrea by the news that the Bunker Hill monu- ‘ment 1s crumbling and, it is feared, |C fmay collapse. Efforts are being made ‘to repalr It at once. The Rise of Ra:coon Coats. Twenty-five years ago, when raccoon coats were selling at $10, many poorly paild workers possessed them, but in the short interval of time elapsed, they have risen in price to $1,000 for & coat of matched skins, says the Co- lumbus Dispatch. With the coming of the motor car, the raccoon climbed socially and a coon coat became almost an indispens- able part of the outfit for a motorist. By 1914 the coats had risen in price from $10 to $100 and $150 and this winter the same coats are easily being sold to dealers for $600. Since it takes from twenty to twenty-five skins for a coat of this kind, with prime skins selling at $18 aplece and the cutters demanding $100 a week, It 18 no wonder that prices are so high. Rooster “Mothers” Chicks. A little bantam rooster which Brainard Souther of Hingham, Mass., named George Washington, has adopted a flock of eight young chick- ens abandoned by their mother, and is giving them maternal care, the only trouble being that G. W. is not large: enough to cover the chickens proper- ly, so that some of them stick out. around the edges. Restoring Elasticity of Rubber. Rubber articles that have become hard recover their elasticity in & short time if placed in 3 per cent carbolic water or 3 per cent aniline solution. In the case of the carbolic solution it must not be forgotten that black goods exposed to. it become gray. If it is desired .to preserve the black or red color of the goods, that, too, can be done. A 1 per cent solution of pantasulphate of potash !s employed. It is true that this smells unpleas- ant, but the restoration of elastici* % quite considerable. T Hard Luck, Indeed. Robert was decided in his refusal to go with his family to a dinner at his uncle's house. When /nrgsse(l for a reason he said: *“Well it's mighty tough on a guy to have nothing to play with but girls and them all re- lations, at that.” Don’t Pick Out a Printer Blindfolded Colonel J. M. McDowell, Fort Sill, Okla., who was recently assigned as inspector instructor for the Minne- sota unit of field artillery is expected to arrive soon here to take up his work. He will have charge of the work of the reorganized First Field artillery. FEDERAL COURT OPENS. (By United Press) Grand Forks, Jan. 14.—Judge 3. ‘W. Wooddrough of Nebraska will pre- side over the federal term of court opening here today. A short term is expected. -Most of the criminal cases on the docket pertain to prohibition or violation of wartime acts. Pleas of guilty are expected in many instances. Court will convene in Fargo a week from tomorrow. DAIRY FARM BLAZE. Of unknown origin, fire caused a loss of approximately $200 this “ morning on the W. G. Schroeder Al- falfa Dairy farm in Grant Valley. The fire had a good start in the milk house before it was discovered. [For- tunately, men employed on the farm formed a very efficient fire depart- ment and soon extinguished the blaze. . The roof of the building was quite badly burned.

There Is scarcely a language that has not contributed something to modern English, but those mention- ed huve been the largest contributors. Many technical words have been (aken from the Greek. Rival. It seems strange that this English word which means a competitor of some sort should have come from the Latin word “rivalis.” pertaining to a stream. But we can easily imagine that the neighbors who lived along the river bank and used the same source for water would sometimes quarrel about their rights and per- haps become enemies.
