PAGE'SE . e fHE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Recollections After three fire hose salesmen had spent approximately ' forty minutes explaining the merits of their various kinds of hose to the city council Monday night, Alderman Bridgeman roused himself from “peaceful slum- bers” and inquired of a brother al- derman if he had heard all “that talk about tires.” It must be hard to get over the idea that ‘the bids for the pneumatic tires for - the fire truck were all rejected some time ago. And then we would call that a pretty hard slam on the hose salesmen. —AIll Hose Is Not Fire Hose— Doing It Voluntarily According to an ordinance passed Monday night by the council, it will soon go pretty hard with a guy that gets drunk or intoxicated) volun- tarily. Some poor cus who may be one of the first to appear before the Judge, is apt to try to prove that he ‘was “forced” to get drunk. —TForce of Habit— Sounds Better Now While sitting with the city council Monday night, it began to appear to us that it would soon be necessary for some of “the boys” to form a “society” or something similar in or- der to get a drink after 11 o’clock— | T even a soft drink. But some amend- ments sure are a big'help. —How About the Eighteenth?— Close the Gates _According to the way some of the city councilmen talk about making| Bemidji a 12-o’clock: town, we might suggest that they would like to have a fence erected around the whole city and “close the bars at midnight.” Some of them even get sleepy be- fore the council meeting is over, but we don’t blame them for that. —Most Anyone Would— A Dirty Job Use of one-third of the street has been granted a number of contrac- tors whllg making repairs on down- town buildings. A few complaints have already been heard because they h_appen to be using a portion of the sidewalk also. ~ One party, in an at- tempt to defend the contractors for Ehls action, is known to have said: Why, you can’t expect them to throw the dirt clean out to the street.” He’s wrong—you can expect them, but that's all. Still, it might be different if it was clean dirt. You might bhe able to throw it clean out to the street then. —Mighty Might— A Chance for Girls A citizen of Minneapolis has hit upon a scheme to get away from the hlgh.cust of railway rates. He has a son in Buffalo and wants to get him to Minneapolis. He is trying to have him shipped by mail, stamping him at Bufi.alo and cancelling the stamps at destination. If this proves a success, Uncle Sam is liable to have to in- crease his postal facilities. According to the present postal ln\vs.Athe only “live goods” that may be shipped by mail are day-old chicks and queen bees. Some chance for ;.ll};'vmrls, but how can the boys qual- —King Bees?— The One Wise Man | Fishing season for brook trout evi-| (I_ently opened at Kelliher at the same time it opened in the rest of the state. The following item taken from the Kc)hher Journal lends proof thereto: . “A fishing party at Shotly Sunday included Tom and Ole Christopher- son, W. Hanchett, G. H. Whiting, 1. J. Melby, “Shrimp” Mars, C. Eaton, John Hartman and W.

I guess’taint much fun to be ded, so you can’t go swimmin or nuthin, but probly they have more fun than that up in Heven where my Pa’s gone, where its all flowers and angels singin’ and everything, but it don’t seem fare for Pa to be havin such a good time, and Ma ‘she’s havin to work like everything; she gets so tired and don’t laf any more nor nuthin, cause she says the lafs all took out of her. My brother Jon had to quit school and be a igit all his life, cause he has to help make a livin. Pa always sed we’d buy our’house and save money that way, when Ma teased him to take out a Life Insurance, and sed he want going to die very soon; that shows Po’s don’t no everything cause now he’s ded, and the house ain’t pade for, and we got to move, and we’re as poor as Job’s turkey. Ma says Job needn’t kick kif he had a turkey. Ma sed we’d had two or three if Pa’d had Life Insurance.” This was the prize-winning essay in Minneapolis written by a school-boy on “Why Pa Should Buy a Life Insurance Policy.” The above is a good “sermon” on life insurance and strongly emphasizes the fact that it is a SACRED DUTY that every man should perform in giving his de- pendent loved one an adequate amount of life insurance protecton. : SEE MITCHELL NEW YORK LIFE MAN Ask to see New Policy that pays an income as long as you live, if disabled. $795 £. o. b.
