Sooner or later congress must decide whether or Hot the country is to pay a bonus to our young men who defended their| | aative land on the bloody fields of France, ° : There is some opposition to the suggestion, because the total runs into millions. ke : But here are two pictures, fairly stated—take your, choice. First. One young man remained at home, as it was mecessary that some should do. He worked in munition fac- tories, or in the ship yards, or in any of the thousands of places, ¢ where work was required. He received high wages—probably L) higher than ever before—a good home in which to live, enjoyed his hours of leisure and recreation, and was in ne* personali: danger at any time. He made money. : ! [ - Second. Another young mdn went to the war, as. it wfii also necessary that some should do. He gaveiip his position at good wages, forsook his means of enjoyment,’‘exthanged a com- fortable home for the rigors of camp life, en'd_n;red_ the horrors of the bloodiest war in history, faced the dangers of sickness and disease, and received only a pittance in pay from the gov- ernment. He returned to find another man in his old job, and in most cases had to be content with what he could get. He gave from one to two years of the best part of his life to his country, and financially lost money. S Should he, or should he not, receive some additional recom- from the people whom he so valiantly served, when the taxation to be required for this purpose would be levied upon him as well as upon others? ) A CASE OF EVERYBODY. Vit Everybody walks the streets of this town. ‘ y Everybody sees bits of paper and refuse on possibly everybody helps to put them there. & Everybody thinks they are unsightly and ‘ghould be re- moved, but everybody waits for everybody else to'do it. - Now if .everybody would make a point of picking up this refuse we would have a more sightly town, and everybody |’ would take pride in living in a place which everybody helps:to keep clean. i O R ! Let’s everybody get busy for the benefit of everybody else. PRSI, W i . ASIT APPEARS TO MANY. Although officially buried by constitutional amendment, the liquor question is not yet dead. It is turning in its grave ‘and is making desperate efl orts'to'break its bounds. Plans are already under' way whereby 'th ; “wets” hope to break tl_le chains and restore light.wines and beer. * This, if successful, will . undoubtedly be followed by demands for the return of the stronger liquors. It is not a politicdl question, yet no one would be surprised to see it the dominant political issue in the present presidential campaign.

TONIGHT AT THE GRAND The Florence Hartley musical com- edy company will open their four-day engagement in this city tonight at the Grand theater, when they will present “A Modern Cinderella” For- ty-five minutes of fun and music, said to be one laugh after another. Hav- ing just finished a week's engagement at the Metropolitan theatre at Grand Forks, where they pleased immensely, this talented company of comedians and artists comes to Bemidji highly recommended. Miss Florence Hartley is a prima donna of repute, and the antics of Walter Morris and Art Sel- by as “Patsy” and “Ikey” would make a cat laugh.

Thinking back for. the origin of any |. .| theatrical performance, our minds nat- urally revert first to Shakespeare and' his Globe theater. . Some ot us would go back a little further; and many of us would choose Moliére, the plays he wrote and staged, often in the open, for the vain Louis and then, in his oewn theater, where, while he was the fa- vorite of the king, he was the rage of France. But these were only steps In the evolution of the theater and the play. | For' the origin of all dramatic repre- sentations . we must go back to the days of idol worship, when many gods :| were thought to rule the destinies of man. ’ Twolbrothel's, Danaus and Aegyptus, | sons of Belus, shared the throne of Egypt. After a_particularly heated quarrel, Danaus, with- his followers, set sail in search of a new-land where. he could rule alone. They landed near the Greek city of Argus, of which he shortly became king. Here, to celebrale his good fortune, he instituted festivals in honor of the god Bacchus, ‘who was ' supposed to have lielped to'make his undertaking successful. These festivals consisted of nothing more than’ tiotous revelry, interspersed with songs, which, after the manner of the day,” were most primitive and often coarse. . But the festivals soon became very pular and were held periodically all er Greece. From this beginning, in form of a kind of public worship, aich was the first entertainment or rformance khotvn,Jevolved the the- atrical projects of lafer ages which de- veloped into the institution of the ‘ theater as we know it today. AGE AND THE POINT OF VIEW How. the Impression of the Youth :of Twenty-One Is Properly- Resented by His Elders. . That reporting.-is ‘a young ‘man's business is illustrated in sbme news- :paper every day by.some news item |, telling about someéthing, usually un- fortunate, that happened. to an old man or an aged woman, the Ohio State Journal observes. Often the aged pers'on, it develops somewhere " in the.story, is fifty-three, we will say, | or somewhere between fifty and six- ty. ‘As every editor has reason to know, this youthful point of view of the reporters not infrequently is re- sented by the aged -person-referred to. “To be run over by the motorcar was bad- enough, but to be’ called aged ‘u adding insult, to h;ujury. Nobody un- ‘der_seventy séems ‘old to himself, and many between seventy-five and eighty would rather not be:consldered aged. <) We talk hopefully of a man’s being only as old as he:feels, but no matter how he feels a man of Afty impresses the youth of twenty-one as verging upon the sere and yellow, if not al- ready there. Our memory goes back to the time when a woman of thirty- five looked almost hopelessly aged to us, and now we know vivaclous girls of forty. And Daisy Ashford opened her immortal work by remarking: “Mr. Saltéena was an elderly man of forty-two.” We don’t know: at what age elderliness hegins for Daisy now, but if she lives long enough she will reach the roint where her way of classifying Mr. Salteena would be to say that he was+a young man of forty- two. ' Seelng With the Soul. What yvou see with your soul helps determine what you- are. The mind - cannot contemplaté visions without re- actions. The deeper the vision the more potent the reacting influence. Only surfice men, men of the non- thinking type go through life without moments of sober sitting at the shrine of conscience and' there weighing the problems of life. When man sees his . power and appreciates that every un- used vestige detracts in multiples he seeks to turn it to account. And it blesses in proportion to the enthusi- -asm with which it 1s advanced. The good we do returns with greater power when it is done without thought of re- ward. We are in the world to make the most of It. We must see the soul it we are to gather the full reward of our This is every man’s Swiss “Mourning Urn.” \At the death of a person in Switzer- land the family inserts a formal, black-edge announcement in the pa- pers asking for sympathy, and stating that the “mourning urn” will be. ex- hibited during certain hours on a spe- || clal day. In front of the house where the person dled there is placed a little black table covered with a black cloth, on which stands a black jar. Into this the friends of the family drop little ] black-margined visiting cards, some- times with a few words of sympathy ‘on them. The urn is put on the table on the day of the funeral. Only men ever go to the churchyard, and then generally follow the hearse on foot.
