OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS ee.e 125 THE OLD DEBATING SOCIETY. A good citizen wants our opinion, editorially ex- pressed, as to the most practical method yt stimulat- ing a greater interest in local affairs on the part of the public. Years ago, when the- present adult generation were children, the attraction that: brought out reg- ularly the greatest mumber of people was the weekly meeting of the old fashioned debating society. The members of the society would select a subject to be-discussed, both affirmatively and negatively. Then from their membership, by vote, they would select the speakers who were to argue the pros and cons of the subject, two taking the affirmative side and two the negative. Of course a time limit was placed upon each speech. A jury of five or seven people would be selected to render a decision at the close of the speaking, ESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (3y SXCEANGE EDITOR) The only gas in Brainerd now is that furnished by the street corner loafer and the politicians.

A Its revival would be a reminiscent pleasure to the older heads among us, and a blessing to the younger generation that is springing up. The good citizen has our humble opinion. Dbl THE BLIGHT OF GOLD. Would you feel aggrieved if we were to tell you that you are chasing death every day in the year? But you are—we all are—for this is a death chasing age in which we live. : We are rushing through life at too rapid a speed in our efforts to keep pace-with a galloping world. The beacon light which we follow is glaring, blinding and blighting. It is the light of gold— and more_gold. 5 5 It fascinates, and charms, and demoralizes ' its victims until manly resistence to its sinister influ- ences banishes in our craving for the inordinate pleasures which wealth alone can give. j We stunt our bodies, stultify our minds, and peril our souls in our insatiate greed for more. The pace we travel is one of madness, and the beacon we follow is lighted by the hand of prema- " ture death. . Life and the power to think and act were given to us for a purpose, but that purpose was not one destructive to mind, and body, and soul. The vitality within our human frames is limited, and when we strain it-beyond the point of wisdom we pass the pinnacle of existence and enter upon - the decline of life. By defying the laws of nature we bring death immeasurably nearer by acts wholly our own. The beacon light is golden, but it draws us stead- ily onward and downward. 5 The Boston Transcript wants to know how'the farmers, who have joined the labor party are to keep” the‘;r clde'll:hfrom] kworking more than eight hours” a day. e walking delegates wil sure.—Stillwater Gaziwe. ad 40 —O— ¢ No matter what a man may honestly think about™ a compliment he will not often admit that it is not coming-to him.—St. Cloud Daily Times. ; —— Some ti_mes the man who calls his wife the queen- at home imagines he is the king bee when down town.—St. Cloud Daily Times. ) ), =% . ) It’s funny to run into a fellow who says he sees more drunken men than ever,.and in the next block ‘meet a man whodeclares he’s going to leave the country because he cannot get a drink.—Manitoba Free Press. is hecause of this that the English vo- rooting ‘with lavish applause at every telling poifi?f 3 3 1920 ! im0 [] " * EDNAMICH m P tion at the Grand theatre Tuesday ‘Sleeping Partners,” with Miss A B . |night, September 21. ‘Goodrich will be seen here exactly as’; (SLEEPING PARTNERS’ AT misadventure of a radiant Parisian |York. ) 2 Y GRAND THEATRE, sm. 21 and her wayward husband and relat-| - Manager Harding of . the - Grand.

Hill, who possessed a phe- nomenal mamory, said it is .easy to remember things "you are Interested What to do, therefore, is to discern whiat things are wuseful, what things one ought to b« interested in, and then forget the others. That sounds easy, but it isn't easy. as we all' know. However, if we try, we may accomplish semething. If we i oot don’t, we won't. Let's see, therefore, what are sone of the things we ought to forget. ’ First, and most important of all, for- get that brilliant record you made at school or that wonderful sale you made which caused all the boya toi i, talk, or that remarkable piece of work ! you did which won your raise of pay - and promotion. Forget the big things you did yes- terday or last year. Forget all about the time you topped the list and were made a fuss over. R Forget that you are (in your own eyes) a wonder, a world heater. Water that has gone over the miil- wheel can grind no more corn. Forget what you have already done and address - all your mind and strength and talent to the next joh.— S Forbes Magazine (New York). Human Fly Says It's Safe. Polley, the human fly, who climbed the 87 stories of the Wuolworth build- ing-in New York, says climbing tall bulldings is’just a trick of balance. It took him nine years to acquire it, but now that he has it he believes his way of making a living Is as safe as any other. He recently told a reporter for ©apper’'s Weekly he had never fallen, except on_one occasion when a ‘fiy” above him fell and knocked Polley to the ground. Polley doesn’t smoke, drink or indulge In any habits that might injure his health. He declares Re takes no foolish chances and that Re never becomes dizzy. ~ ALWAYS REMEMBER ¥ When considering your health, purity | and freshness should be your supreme £ aim; We do not know of any medicinal i preparation that can equal the power § and’ effectiveness in regulating the i bowels, : stimulating -the liver to ac- 2 tion; flushing the kidneys, sweetening £ the stomach, or cleansing and enrich- ing the blood, than BULGARIAN BLOOD TEA This pure all-herb preparation is the Favorite Family Medicine in millions of happy homes; physicians and drug- gists.heartily recommend. it.

NO LANGUAGE QUITE PURE Words Expressing New.: Ideas and New Things Are Passed From Na- tion to Nation. 0 e If by “a purefinguaxe" is.meant one that does not contain words adopted from another language, then there are | none among civilized nations.” A Tan- guage 13 not something made to order, and that once made ends there so far as development 18 concerned. A language grows in many ways. Take modern "English for example. It dif- fers considerably from the English of the time of Queen Blizabeth, and it is so different from the language spoken In England at the time of the Norman conquest that could one of those old Saxons come back he would not understapd us and we would not understand him. And yet the lan- guage he spoke Is the basis of modern English, Since the time of the Sax- ons there has been great growth. The Normans brought in French, and scholars since then have brought In thousands of words derived from Latin and Greek. These are English words today, but the roots from which they sprang are to be found in other and in_many cases In older languages.
