It was only by the co-operation of the residents of ]..av_mm and others living near that the criminal was found.ap_d justice dealt out. The same co-operation is needed in Bemidji to apprehend the perpetrators of the petty burglaries made almost every night of the week lately, and when the gull.ty are caught they should receive not the minimum but the maximum penalty. The nature of the acts does not indicate that those who are gmlty are doing it under the force of poyerty'. They are doing it be- cause they are criminals with criminal intent and intend to per- sist in the unlawful acts until they are caught. —_————— BATH HOUSES AT DIAMOND POINT ... 16 Three Months weeeiermeo—r 435 Hand in hand with the constriction of Birchmont hotel should go the building of the bath houses at Diamond.point. The free camping and picnic grounds drew hundreds last year to Bemidji and with adequate bath houses and refreshment accommodation there would be many more patrons of the par}(‘ The building of the hotel will draw many tourists again this season, and, while bathing accommodations may be pro- vided at the hotel, there will always be many hotel guests who will wish to spend the afternoon or evening in the park. There has never been nearly enough bath stalls in the hot summer season to take care of those who wish to use them, and if mod- ern bath houses are erected the demand will double. ! The people of Bemidji have been promised bath houses for two or three years. The levy has been made for the funds and the bath houses should be built. 0- LET’S BE DECENT | While wé are on this theme, let us remark that, of late, it seems to’ be becoming quite fashionable for men to gather on| the sidewalk on the sugny side of some building, stare at and make remarks about ladies passing by and -plaster the sidewalk| with tobacco juice. True, women's skirts no longer trail along the walk and sweep the dirt up, but that doesn’t make thg dis-‘ gusting stuff any less objectionable. = We believe there is an) ordinance against this. There would be no difficulty in getting| evidence to bring a conviction. Let’s keep the sidewalks clean for decency’s sake. | ' The Townley consumers stores in North Dakota, now in the hands of were- true to their name in one respect: They consumed the money of the farmer members. But just why they were not able to make a go of it can only be explained on the theory of mismanagement. Farmers paid $100 each for the privilege of trading at these stores. In some coun- ties four or five times more money was paid in by the farmers than was invested in the business of the stores, and all stores were operated on a cash basis. Having more money than was used in stocking up, no dividends to pay, and doing a strictly cash business, why was there a failure? What became of the surplus money paid in by the farmers?, Ask Townley.—St. Cloud Journal Press. . receivers, Nations in making treaties frequently have inserted in the text the proviso that they are to receive from the other party as -advantageous treat- ‘ment as’is granted the most favored nation.

Few bave realized that peat might replace coal and break to a large ex- tent the dependence of some of the northern. states upon distant coal wines. For several months a Minneapolis company has been engaged in the prep- aration of peat for fuel, said to be the only enterprise of its kind in the coui- try. A machine has been perfected that digs, macerates -and spreads qut to.dry. T00 tons, of wet peat in a.day, or a quautity sufiicient to produce 100 tong' of dry fuel. That's how much peat contracts in the drying process. One man operates the machine. During the summer the machine was operated on a bog near Minneapolis, and peat, processed at the University of Minnesota, was burned with satfs- factory results in a Minneapolis oflice bullding. C A crusher plant, with a capacity of 500 tons of peat & day, has been huilt In Minneapolis during the winter to, produce powdered peat, and in the spring ten peat digging machines are to be started on the Minnesota bogs. Candlemas The Romans had a day of purifica- tion, and in the course of time the second day of February was called the feast of the purification- or -pre: sentation of Christ in the temple. At the Reformation the ceremonies of Candlemas ‘day were not reduced all at once, Henry VIII proclaimed that “On Candlemas day it shall be de- clared that the bearing of candles is done in memory of Christ. the spirit- ual light, whora Simon did prophesy, as It is read in the church that day.” KRR KRR KR KR K % KELLIHER SCHOOL NOTES * 0k o o o o % ok o % kb % % Last Wednesday evening a birth- day party was given at the school house fn honor of Johanna Dolgaard.
