Farrell, (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Jan. 5.—Benny Leonard and Joe Lynch both probably wili make an excursion out of their class this year. Benny would Jike to annex the wel- terweight title of Jack Britton gn the young bantamweight champion is looking to the featherweight field for future work: 3 Leonard this winter proved conclu- sively that he has not_outgrown the lightweight class. He made 134 pounds for Joe Welling, but he wasn’t overly strong at that low poundage. For business reasons, an_invasion of the welter ranks would be_ profit- able for Leonard, as he is running out of good opponemts among the light- weights. . Joe Lynch is a legitimate bantam- weight. He made 116 pounds for Pete Herman when he won the cham- pionship. Joe, however, can’t keep himself down to that weight very-long without doing great. harm to himself physically. He’s unusually tall for a bantam and has to draw himself down so fine that he looks like a pale ghost in the ring. His ribs__ poked out through his flesh in the Herman bou# like a washboard. His condition in that bout must not be considered too final, however, as he had been in hard training for two months and had been through four exceedingly hard bouts in a little over a month. After a month’s rest in the moun- tains, where he is going to rough it, he will get back into better condi- tion. . For a season or so he can fight dt catchweights after the fashion of most champions and that will not necessitate weakening weight-making. Many boxing critics believe that Lynch at 122 pounds would be good enough to take the title from Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight king. From all appearances, the Cleve- land Irishman has retired. Before he steps down finally, however, it is pe- lieved that he would be glad to give Lynch a chance for the .titlia and if he has to lose it there is no other fighter he would rather see as his sue- cessor than the present bantam champ. TEXAS ROMANCE 18 SIMILAR TO MOVIE (By United Press) Houston, Tex., Jan. 5.—A prodigal son has come home to Houston—but he's only on a visit—and he’s not prodighling. . Early this century, Clarence Burg- heim, graduating from high school liere, decided he didn’t want to spend wearicome hours learning to be a doctor. But his father wanted him to become a doctor. He disappeared. In 1902 Burgheim was seen in Cor- into, chief Nicaraguan port. A friend of the family who saw him, unkempt, ragged predicted the son would ar- rive home soon a prodigal. In 1910 Burgheim was next heard from as a physician to the revolu- tionary forces of the republic. Then he was made surgeon general of the rehel forces. In the eight years his family was expecting the prodigal, Burnheim had attended Nicaraguan medical schools. During fighting, the revolutionary forces surrounded a stone church and were making a fight for possession. Suddenly a girl appeared, running across “No Man's Land.” A bullet struck her. Burg- heim saw her. And like a movie hero, he rescued her thru a shower of bul- lets. His surgery saved the woman's life. Romance blossomed. The revo- lution was successful. The girl's fa- ther, Diego Manuel Chamorro, has been elected president of Nicaragua. They were married a year after he He was sent to New Or- leans as consul general. ‘While in New Orleans he came home—as the prodigal son, But the home folks had to kill two calves—- he brought his family. ALLEGED ENEMY ALIEN 1S DENIED CITIZENSHIP 1da Grove, lowa, Jan. '5.—John Richard ‘Groepper, an alleged enemy alien, of this city, was prevented from becoming naturalized by representa- tives of the Leo P. McNamara Post of the American Leglon when they proved that Groepper made false statements on government question- naires. When Groepper was naturalized some time ago Bruce M. Snell, post adjutant, went before the United States court and had the case re- Snell showed that Groep- per claimed exemption from military war service during grounds that ho v alien and that in apply e raturali- zation, he swcre th't he norformed his full military duties.

THE PIONEER WANT ABS BRING RESULTS PROTECTION PROMINENT IN PROPOSED GAME LAW (Continued from Page 1) censes by hotels, banks and individu- als. v That the skunk, as a valuable fur- )earing animal, be given protection luring its breeding season. That a license of $1 be imposed “>n-house cats, the stray cat being a very dangerous menace to song birds and to valuable insectivorous birds, as well as game birds. That the state bounty on wolves be increased from $7 to.$15. That the use of ferrets in taking rabbits be prohibited. The committee gave its approval to the proposed budget of the game and fish commissioner and advised in- creasing his estimates on those-items which are intended for the support and payment of game warden service and game refuge patrol. 3 ACTIVITIES OF CIVIC BODY DRAWING COMMENT (Continued from Page 1) were really made possible by reason f the backing of the organization. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment assocjation, the convention of the league of municipalities, and the Northwest JInsurance Underwriters did much to advertise the city as progressive and beautiful. The fi- nancial aid given the firemen helped much to make possible their secur- ing the 1923 State Firemen’s conven- tion for Bemidji. Funds for the Fourth of July celebration were rais- ed by committees from the associa- tion and the assistance given in or- ganizing a permanent chautauqua association made is possible to put that annpal event on its own re- sources. = The, courtesies extended to ®the body of Commercial Secretaries which visited. Bemidji on their vaca- tion trip by the association wag greatly, appreciated and added much to the popularity of the city. The Red Cross recreational work has been greatly facilitated by the co-operation of the organization and this. it is felt, will be work of last- ing value. The trip of Bemidji business men into the Grygla and ditch country was largely sponsored by the civic association and already much bene- fit is resulting from this action. The firg prevention campaign, put on by the committee of the associa- ilon having this in charge, not only won for the city distinction because of its uniqueness ut also added much tn the safety of the city and will undoubtedly greatly lessen the losses resuiting from fires caused by ac- cumulated rubbish and careless wir- ng. The assistance given in putting over Amendment No. 1. was work that not only aesisted in getting ben- ,v%rlnl legislation passed but had the cffect of exciting local interest in the improvement of roads. ‘Wihile all of the above work of the rasociation was of immense import- ance the most important action taken by the organization really has come at the latter end of the year. The steps that have been taken to secure the valuable Ruggle’s timber and the other timber limits for a park, the plans whch are being taken for the rebuilding of the Birchmont hotel and the big farmers’ dinner rank at the top of all the year’s activities ot the.assoclation. They have gained for Bemidji state-wide and even na- tion wide attention. Farm maga- zines have commented on the farm- ers’ get-to-gether meeting and dinner in a most complimentary manner. -1t has brought much publicity to Be- midji besides cementing the friend- <hip between town and country folks wr;ich, after all, was the desired re- sult. s The co-operation given the poultry association and the Beltrami County Agricultural association in their ex- hibitions and in the re-organization of the latter has mgterially assisted those organizations not only to carry jon their regular work but to make | plans for the future which will make possible their further development and expansion.

The present year has sturt- ed out with a number of the import- {ant propositions carried over from | 1920 and still uncompleted but which the near future wiil undoubtedly see consumated successfully, P — 4 Jascnoasia PCS 'PRINTER’S DEVIL AEEER KK HRKEEK KK KX > PINEWO00D * IZZ 222222222 2222 William Hendricks and Conde Winslow returned home Tuesday morning from Kimball, Minn., where they spent Christmas at their form- er homes. % Mrs. Christ Moller left Wednes- day for Wisconsin where she will Join Mr. Moller.

Her puplls were her champlons, and ‘wher- ever their enthusiasm could reach some of the general prejudices against public schools were shaken. But Bor- dentown was ten miles away. The new teacher took & tumble: down, unoccupied building, with six puplis, but In six weeks the place was too small to hold half of the littfe Bor- dentowners who wanted, at last, to go to school.

Since, Clara Barton was the founder of the Red Cross in America, that or- ganization gook the responsibility of buying the school when it was in dan- ger of destruction, but they could not buy the site.

A story calculated to make dog haters grit their teeth finds its way into print, remarks the New Yobk Tribune. An East side collle awak- ened his master, told him things were not as they should be, and ‘then se- cured a promp, turning in of a fire alaym, which saved many lives. At rare intervals a case of rabies develops. With this as a basis the dog haters have ured a code whose severity is such that once in a while 'it naturally breaks down some dog's | nervous system., Leashed and wear- {ing n mask or jaw straps, man's best i friend is demied a normal life. If, his | patience exhausted and his temper frayed, he bites anything, no matter whether by accldent or with ample without trial. - Not satisfied with this, there is a constant outcry for a practical extermination of the spe- cies, with only enough left to pro- vide raw material for vivisectionists. Yet it a score were kept showing in one column the number of human lives man's devoted servitor has séved and In another the number fn any- wise lost through him, the dispropor- tion fn favor ofthe dog would be grent. A dogless civilization would be one wherein life Insurance rates would be raised. - The' psychology of the dog hater has never been scfisfactorily explained. H¢ exists—that 1s all we know about him. He can scardely be sald to take plensure ! in - his- malignancy, for he is gloomy and_somber, yet he stub- bornly clings to'his frenzy, putting in time jnventing .calumnles which one look into a dog's honest and loyal eyes | sufficiently refute.
