In a list of women party leaders ‘who will attenda the celebration and -convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Chi- «cage next month, Illinois and Ken- tucky take first rank, with New York .and Missouri pressing them hard for leadership. The Kentucky Equal Rights Asso- «iation has done double duty in fur- mishing women in both the national political parties. Mrs. John G. South -of Frankfort, who for three years was president of the association, is hairman of the National Republican Women’s Committee. Mrs. Samuel T. Castleman of Louisville, vice-pres- jdent of the association, is the Ken- ~tucky member of the women’s com- mittee, National Democratic Com- mittee. Illinois Prominent.

Mrs: Fletcher Dobyns of Chicago .and Mrs. Howard T. Wilson of Vir- den are the state chairmep of the republican and democratic commit- tees, respectively. P Although Illinois and Kentucky hold the first places in women’s party leadership owing to the fact they have furnished the only national chairmen, New York and Missouri are hard by with candidate for Sonors. x New York Recognized. The New York City League of Women Voters hgs furnished Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the executive committee of the women'’s division of the National Republican Committee, while the state league has given Mrs. Arthur Livermore as state chairman of the Republican women’s Committee.

The election is more than a month oft yet, and it there is any pleasure or special benefit in the job, boys, hop to it if you can make any improvements, otherwise we believe it would be a good policy to Keep your own counsel. 3 PSS X Emil Sandeen of the Clearbrook Auto Garage is making a month’s stay in Duluth. Will be back about March 1. At the splendid farm of Arthur E. Nelson in the township of Pine Lake, located about one and one-half miles south of Gonvick, on Saturday after- noon, February 7, will be held a full dairy demonstration. County Agent Earl Martin will be present. The discussion will be open in all ques- tions pertaining to the testing of cows and all dairy lines. Mr. Nel- son is well versed in these subjects and with the assistance of the coun- ty agent and all others versea in this matter it will be a great day for our dairy boosters, and should be attend- ed by all interested, as much good is bound to develop from such get- together. Mr. Nelson is to be con- gratulated. May others be held in the near future throughout the coun- ty. .Such meeting wil also prove to the parties attending the real value of pure bred cattle in any line, be they beef or dairy. and will only hasten the time when thoroughbred stock of some kind will be the only medium of exchange among our farmers in this county. Fo. this rea- son, if for none other alone, we be- lieve that our county agent should urge and encourage meetings of this nature. Matt Berg, of Vinson township, has purchased the Berner store from Hans C. Widness and will restock the same at once with a first class and up-to-date line of goods. The peo- ple of Winson and Hangaard are to be congratulated upon this excellent move, which will mean much to their future. We rest assured that Mr. Berg wil have a large and apprecia- tive trade. Prof. G. O. Riggs of Bemidji has been hired by the village of Gonvick to take charge of ‘and instruct their live band. Allen and Johnson of Gonvick have sold their blacksmith shop to Harry Logan of Duluth and George Clemenson of Erie, this state. They wil take possession at once. A. O. Kopperud, who has conducted the shop for some time, has quit, and in the meantime will look for some other opening. Frank Eunis of Wilton, will short- ly open a shoe repairing shop at Gon- vick. ) A series of meetings has been con- ducted in the Norwegian Lutheran church here during last week, which resembled more the work of “Holy Jumpers’ ‘or ‘“Rollers,” according to reports. Peter Fuglsang returned from In- ternational Falls, last week, after spending a couple of months in that valuable city to the north on the Canadian border. Pulpwood and paper is its, chief products in stock, with a live city back of it. Our school and American Legion under the auspices of the Melvin Johnson post, are busily rehearsing every week to stage the play, “Back to the Farm,” here on Thursday. February 12. Watch for the big time and be ready to boost it along. When ready for presentation, the company will visit neighboring cities both to the east and the west, we un- derstand. Peter Walle is back from a visit at Fargo, N. D. C. E. Knight of Greenwood town- ship was a busy visitor in our little city Saturday. He moved here from the state of Oregon last fall and pur- chased the Ole Jacobson homestead on the Clearwater river, near the new state bridge. He is more than pleased with our country and will from now on become a real and valu- able booster and worker for our country as a whole, including “good roads.” Such class ¢f men is what count in our neighborhood and we are pleased to welcome them into our community. A son was born to gladden the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Bexell, January 21. All well and John is reported one of the happiest daddies in town. More ‘“‘seegars,” John L. The Silver Creek Ladies Aid met with Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Ness Thursday. A large attendance was present. Census Enumerator John Swanson was the first federal nose connter in our district to finish his labors. His territory was composed of Sinclair, Clover and Greenwood townships. John is not so young in plans, but is full of pep and energy and that is what counts, hence has finished his work, when several of them are still making tracks of snow. The hosts of friends of Mrs. Olof Engen, who about two weeks ago underwent a serious operation at the Warren hospital, wiil be glad to g, - THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER know that she is reported gaining in strength and health and will soon be with us once more.

Arthur Ollestad made a business trip over to Fertile and Erskine last week. He returned on Saturday morning, Mrs. John M. Anderson of Sinclair township visited with her daughter, Mrs. Irvin Omdahl of Bemidji, over Sunday. The drifting of all the roads and high snow banks has made the haul- ing of mail over the rural routes very heavy work of late. DESERT BEGINS TO BLOOM Cultivation Has Already Begun in Spot Where All Was Bare a Short Time Ago. Travelers through the Great American desert find great enjoy- ment and added attraction when they come across flocks of wild horses. As the horses notice the motorist they pause for a_moment, with heads up, manes unkempt, and tails blowing in the wind, and then tear off to the north, with the cattle, less wild, that are grazing in the desert, lagging be- hind them. Tt is said that that is the free life of the horse. He is racing off not because he is afraid, but because he is free. While the motorist enjoys the desert, and has these horses for. an added attraction, there are indi- cations that the wild wanderers will soon give way before civilization. Al- ready there are the first indications that this desert will some day bud and blossom as the rose. Even at Blue Eagle, where there is a single hut made out of old cans and where gasoline is 75 cents a gallon, there is a windmill that is reclaiming a plot of excellent soil. Each of the dozen houses has its well, its spring, or its streamlet trickling from the treeless ravine in the mountain behind it. EASIER REPLACED Mrs. A—I am going to get a di- vorce. Mrs. B.—Can’t you get along with your husband ? Mrs. A.—Yes, but the cook can’t. —Boston Transcript. Strange Animals. Those quaint box hedges, which one sometimes sees nowadays in the Brit- ish Isles, cut out on the top into curi- ous little shapes of birds and animals, are of exceedingly ancient lineage. Pliny the Younger in describing the garden of one of his villas mentions “animals in box, facing each other,” and this was perhaps in about the year 100 A. D. Cleaning White Paint. Spirits of ammonia used in sufs ficlent quantities to softem the water and ordinary hard soap will make a white painted surface look white and clean with half the effort of any other method. Care should be taken not to have too much ammonia. Farming Fish. The International Association of Game, Fish and Conservationist Com- missloners, at their recent convention in Louisville, pledged themselves to use every influence~ possible toward stimulation of a nation-wide move- ment looking to the construction of fish ponds upon farms in which desir- able species of game and food fishes. especially the basses and the sun- fishes, can be propagated for recrea- tion and for food, at a comparatively small expense when econtrasted with the vast bhenefits which will result therefrom. Fifty-Nine Degrees Below Zero. Fifty-nine degrees below zero was registered in some parts of the Adiron- | dacks last winter around the first of | the year, according to weather hureau | statistics. Better (or worse) than that was done by Jack Frost in Sweden. ! where the temperature registered 70.6 ' | below zero. And in some parts of Alaska thermometers are absolutely useless. the best of them freezing up and refusing to tell how cold it is. In the dead of winter, in the Interior of Alaska, pure alcohol freezes into solid blocks of ice. as does kerosene.—Ex- change.
