+ ‘TWENTIETH CENTURY' LIMITED Sight for Sore Eyes It is announced that Bemidji busi- ness men are expected to take a pair of overalls along with them to the land clearing demonstration at the Thomas Porte farm Friday noon in order to assist in piling up the stumps for burning after the blast of dyna- mite has been discharged. The fact that Bemidji business men may be seen at work ought to attract even a larger crowd than the land clearing demonstration. One fellow we know by the name of “Tardy” will prob- ably be just arriving as the ashes are being plowed under. —Do You Know Him?— The Gas Mask A loyal American, still curious as to certain facts relative to the World war, has inquired if the Germans measured the poison gas they used by the kill-a-meter.

And, such is fate, when a bride is as nice as that, she invariably hooks up with a man who, when it comes his time to answer the clergyman’s query, takes a quid of Battle Ax out of his face, throws it in the corner of the church and says, “Hell, Yes!"— The Kablegram. —Animal Husbandry— Only Too True A press agent seldom revises any- thing he writes about his proposition. His motto may be said to be: “Leave it as it lies.” —-And He Does— Alas, the End! “I have reached the end of my rope,” exclaimed the inveterate smoker as he heaved the butt of a Flora de Cabbage cigar into the| street and spat with disgust. —Simple, Isn't It?— SHORTAGE OF CIGARETTES MAY HELP SETTLE STRIKE (By United Press) .
