: Convick Organizes Community Cluh; Will Be Cehtel‘- for Civic Activities (Special to Pioneer) Clearbrook, Feb. 16.—Well, that last one was a cold one.” Only 30 below zero Saturday morning. That will keep the melons from spoiling. L. Jensen returned Saturday even- : ing from St. Paul, and a trip over to Crookston, where he took in the jood Crop Shows, The reported im- mefise sales in the different live stock sales and a big attendance and that . the crop show was a spelndid succeas, a credit to Crooktson and its pro- moters and a boost for better farm- 4ing, better stock, and northern Min- *nesota in general. At .St. Paul he attended a board meeting of the Min- nesota Dairy association, in_which he holds the position as first vice -president. : ne; ‘play, “Back To the @ auspices .of our Melvin; Johnson -one who -participated. in the ' play -covered his or her part with the art and experience of a real artist.

On Satur- day evening they played at-Leonard, ‘but_due to cold weather and bad roads they did not realize as well financially as could have been ex- pected, even though they give our good neighbors over there the best play ever staged in that progressive community. February 24, they will put it on at Gully, at which place ‘we expect’ to hear that they will play to an over- crowded house, as the Gully people are real “boosters for good clean and _ entertaining work. A big dance will be given after the play. Be sure to attend and enjoy an evening of good clean sport of an educfiting nature. On Wednesday evening at Gonvick a Community club was organized with W. W. Jones, president; B. L. Bjerkness, vice president; A. F. La Budde, secretary; H. B. Bjerkness, treasurer, and Anton O. Bakken, di- rector. These officials wil constitute the powers that be and exercise it accordingly. It was decided to hold an election in the near future to vote on a bond issue of $10,000 with which to commence the construction of a building to be used for the pur- poses before enumerated in these columns. It js an improvement which every place need, and need badly, and: our neighbors to the west have started to roll the ball in the right direction provided, they are in posi- tion to keep their hands upon it and guide It in the right direction’ when the final test will be applied at the time of the special election. ‘We note that it is the young bloods that are back of the movement, which should give it speed enough to carry faith and. over all local discouragement if .any. On Tuesday, February 17, at Shev- lin, on Wednesday, February 18, at Bagley, and on Thursday, February 19, at Clearbrook will be held a series of one day farm institutes. A morn- ing session will be held at 10 o’clock a. m., when the income tax will be discussed, while in the afternoon ses- sion the subjects “Keeping Farm Ac- counts” and ‘“Cost of Producing Dairy. Producis”” will be taken up. it is urged that everybody interested attend this meeting, as no enterpris- ing and successful farmer can afford to miss it, and still claim to be a suc- <essful business farmer. The Gonvick Trading company at Gonvick opened its doors to the pub- lice last Friday at Gonvick, and hun- dreds of people took advantage of the occasion to attend and reap the bene-| fit of being early birds. Hardin-A. Anderson, manager of the Clearbrook Mercantile company of this place, spent the day there getting acquaint- ed and lining up new customers and reported a most successful opening day. Mr. Anderson is one of the suc- cessful promoters in this enterprise and intend to give Gonvick and its people the best department store ever seen in that lively burg. Carl Gun- -valson, formerly the manager of the Nelson Quality Stores, Inc., at Werne and Leonard, is now in charge of the business and expects to.make the rest of them go some.. Mr. Gunvalson is 2 young man of wide merchandise <experience, wide awake dnd capable as none other, which alone spells suc- cess for this concern beyond expecta- tion at the present time. Upon the sad message that her brother, Julius Engebretson, had passed away at his home in Ells- worth, Iowa, Mrs. Olof Vangen left last Monday for that place to attend the funeral. He was still a young man and left a wife and four children to mourn an early demise. A long, cold and dreary winter is drawing to a close and we have sev- eral reasons to rejoice that the long, cold evenings and blizzard days with deep snow will soon be something of the past for this season also, and in view of these facts communities as well as individuals should make pre- -parations to meet the new pleasant :and smiling times before us in such a manner as to be a benefit, pleasure and source of all around community On Tuesday evening, affair breeding of good will and mu- tual returns to all interested. Clearbrook being, and always hav- ing been, the leader in all progressive movements in this section of our country should sit up and take notice of what might be accomplished in community boosting, including farm- ers and business men of all"colors and descriptions. We have a prominent and most successful Commercial club, with officers on par with any of them, and therefore suggest that at the next regular meeting of this splendid representative body, that steps be taken to make arrangements to put in a series of ‘“Market Days” at Clearbrook, beginning sometime in May and continue throughout the summer as long as this body would consider it worth the while. A com- munity can arrange no affairs of any nature which will bring farmers and business men closer together than a series’ of such markets, where the farmers can bring their products in to town from rutabagas to- horses, machinery, etc., and sell or exchange the same as the case may be, or put it on the block and sell it at public auction. On the other hand our mer- chants can each and every one offer a certain line of bargains in such a nianner as not to conflict with one another, and offer different prizes for the farmer bringing the largest fami- ly to town; the whole family coming into town to trade from the greatest distance, and dozens of other ar- rangements’ as the season progresses and conditions will warrant, with a complete change of program for every month. If Clearbrook wishes to keep its place in the front ranks as the original and best trading center in our section of the state it is up to them to be up and doing, as we frest assured that if they do not take it up, other neighboring towns will, and Clearbrook and its trade territory will suffer as never before. It is the acid test as to the business ‘“pep” and qualifications possessed by them, and it is up to the members of the Commercial club to put it through or admit defeat. February 22 is a legal holiday in the United States, it being the birthv day anniversary of the father of our beautiful country, the greatest and grandest country under the face of the sun . This day means rest and mutual recognition of the history of this day and what it means to the ‘American people as a whole. This vear the 22nd will fall upon a Sun- day and would therefore not create the rest and devotion it was intended to fulfill in the hearts of our people. In view of these solid facts our good old Uncle Sam has decreed that the day following be ooserved by his mil- lions of children on this globe, which also means that all post offices in our country will observe the day, and that all rural mail carriers will rest on Monday as well as Sunday this motnh. Remember that and do the same, and you will escape much worry and trouble. BLOWN FROM 'GATOR’S MOUTH Swimmer’s Presence of Mind Saved Him From a Particularly Aorrible Death. In the spring of 1889, when I was ‘learning how-to grow and cuge coffee and pepper in the sultanate of Johore, writes a contributor to the Wide World Magazine, the plantation man- ager and I one evening rowed across the river to a new clearing to see how the work progressed. We wore our swimming clothes, and as we drew into the beach I dropped overboard. 1 had been swimming for a short time when suddenly I was grasped by the waist and flung into the air. The next moment I discovered that I was the prey of an alligator that had mis- judged its grip. When I fell back into the water the brute closed his jaws on my right leg and shook it as if try- ing to wrench it off. The manager and the coolies came running to the edge of the water, but the manager dared not use his rifle lest he should shoot me, or launch the boat lest my captor should carry me off. Suddenly an idea came to me, Bend- ing forward I“pushed my right hand into the alligator’s throat and groped among the hot, soft, folds of flesh, Managing to get a grip ‘on them, I pulled with all my strength, The flesh in my hand hardened, then the brute choked, gave a cough like a blast from an air valve, and literally blew me out of his mouth. Needless to say I lost no time in reaching the shore. My right leg was o badly Injured that I could not stand, and the coolies had to carry me to the manager’s bunga- low.

AUSTRALIAN BEE INDUSTRY. The bee industry is an important one in Australia, aud, like poultry farming, is ordinarily an adjunct to agricultural or dairying industries. The average annual production of honey in the past five years has been over 5,000,000 pounds, with a pro- duction of about 90,000 pounds of beeswax. In the past year or two, however, the production of both honey and beeswax has fallen consid- erably below the high record of 1913, when over 8,000,000 pounds of honey was proluced.

Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness Common garden sage brewed ing;o a heavy tea with sulphur added, wx_ll turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revel- ation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old- time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. & While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attrac- tiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth‘s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. you use A < THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER SLOW |Bad Sickness Influenza “No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Charaberlain's Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, 1 have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given.
