THE BEMiDJI DAY PIONEER - | TWENTIETH CENTURY' LMITED | No Kick in That Undoubtedly many readers of this column believe it is “the bunk.” But, then, a fellow who is satisfied with ‘near beer has no kick coming. —Or Going— No Aid From Invention The piano and the washing machine can be run by electricity. However, it still requires hand labor to get up in the night and give the children a drink cf water. —Hand Labor Is Right— One Way to Do It Numerous suggestions are being made for keeping people from attend- ing improper movies. Our idea is to recommend the picture as clean and wjoral teaching a decidedly elevating I v and needful lesson. —That’ll Keep ’Em Away— Taking No Chances | If a stranger asks you for the time of day on a lonely street late at night, it is better to tell him that | another fellow grabbed it a block farther down. —It May Be the Truth— Picturesk Getting Your Foot in It Here’s a guy who sure has his foot| in it. This used to be quite an ac- complishment “the next morning,” bul now it is getting to be a grind. —Nothing to It— Red Pep’s- Philozophy Red Pep says: “The man with the reputation as a good mixer hasn’t got time to attend to the regular jobh.” “He who plunges in the stock mar- ket is very apt-to get soaked.” “Lots of us will be poor until we are thirty—then we will be used to st "“They say that money talks, but all it ever says to me is “Good-bye... “The only thing the meat trust will give you without cash is a cold shoul- der.” —Ain’t It a Fact?— The Safer Way News that men’s clothes are to be snug fitting indicates that it will be much cheaper to buy a new pencil than to stoop to pick up the one you dropped. —Precaution in Time— One to Figure on At last it has been brought to our attenticn why so many school ‘teach- ers have given up their jobs and have gone into the choruses. = We can readily see that there is not much money in showing figures to.the little boys. —Symetrically Speaking— Just a Suggestion Since gingham is getting so much cheaper, why not make it up into dr for girl bahies too young to object to its not being silk? Take Them Young— One Satisfaction Any girl who complained of feel- ing chilly last evening, at least, has the satisfaction of knowing that she must have had on thinner clothes than the rest of us. —We Didn’t Complain— Mary's Litle Lamb. Regarding the authorship of “Mary's Little Lamb,” a recent number of & London magazine says: ‘“There have been many claimants to the distine- tion, but most of the evidence seeis to show that the real author was Mra. Sarah Buell Hale, who for a number of yenrs edited the Lady's Magazine, the leading journal of: its kind-for al- most Lalf a century in the United Yhoys' and girls’ encampment.

The attendance prize, a gold pen- knife donated by the Given Hardware was won by T. C. Bailey.

This committee s composed of Rev. L. P. Warford, Rev. Fr. Phillipe, and Superintendent R. O. Bagby. The date for the chanter presenta- tion to the local club was set for July 30, so as not to interfere with other events near that date. Satur- day was picked for this occasion for the benefit of visitors from out of town who might like to motor here. for that occasion and remain over Sunday.

TOWEL IS FLEECE WUZ WHITE AS MUD 1T RUBBED AGIN A CAKE OF SOAP ONE DAY AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT \¥ WUZ \ | Hannibal on Record as Having Played | Mean Trick on King Eumenes | of Pergamus: When Hannibal was about to be at- tacked by King Eumenes of Pergamus at sea, that crafty person decided that in a fair fight the king would win, The enemy had more ships and more men, and Hannibal and all his follow- ers would be at the bottom of the sea it any attempt were made by him-to engage the vessels of the king as in- dividual units. - Hannibal therefore gave out word that all his ships were to join in an attack on the ship car- rying the king, on:the theory that with- out a leader the encmy would soon be demoralized. To find out what ship the king was on he sent a mes- senger just before the battle with a tablet to the enemy’s fleet. The mes- senger was directed’ to the ship bear- ing Eumenes, and all:of Hannibal's fleet had merely to watch the little boat to identify the king’s vessel. When the battle began Hannibal's boat rushed to the side of Eumenes’ ship, and the former’s sailors began to hurl great earthenware pots into the king’s boat. The defenders of the ship at first laughed at this queer method of warfare, but their laughter promptly changed to howls of terror when it was- discovered that the pots the most deadly variety. The skip turned and fled for shore, its decks alive with the hissing, gliding snakes. The other ships also treated to snake bombs followed suit, and Hannibal was the victor. Earth Is Slowing Down. Happlly for our convenience, the process is extremely slow, but all the same the fact is that the days are getting longer. This does revolution of the earth on its axis. The earth’s power of rotation, says a writer in the Popular Sclence BMonthly, is growing weaker and as a result its revolution on its axis Is slowing up. Which means, of course, that the day is lengthening. An epoch must eventually arrive when the day will be equal in length to the year; that is, to the time it takes for us to revolve about the sun. Then the earth will always turn the same face toward the solar luminary, Just as the moon now always turns the same face toward us, and one-halfof our planet will have sunshine all the year, while the other half is in total and permanent darkness. = That Is, If the sun still lls'shlnlng. It may become a dim and ‘chilly orb before then. e Venezuela Named After Venice. Venezuela was named from the word Venice by Alonso de Ojeda, who found' the Onotes, an extinct tribe of Indians, there in 1499, They were fishermen, and. bullt their houses on plles in the water. Ojeda was re- minded by their dwellings of Venice, 80 he named the country Venezuela, Lightning Fired His Gun.

Discovery of Phosphorus, ‘What we now call phosphorus- was discovered by a chemist called Brand in 1670, who prepared it in small quantities from bones. In those days of mysticlsm a substance that burned and emitted light without being ignited was halled as a discovery of the principle of life. The sensatfon was just like what was made 250 years later by the discovery of radlum, Hebrides Not All Gloom. Occasionally there Is a sun In the Hebrides, writes a traveler, Then the highlander sees beauty.

USED SNAKES TO ROUT FOE| Chouteau, a Founder of St. Louls. WOMEN MUST AVOID WORRY. Auguste Chouteau, who helped to found the city of St. Louls, was an American ploneer of French descent born in New Orleans in 1789. Uunder the direction .of Pierre Laclede Li- gueste he made. the first settlement-on the site of Si. Lopls February 15, 1764, Chouteau, then 25 years old, estab- lisbed a fur trading station there, and later In the same year Ligueste him- self arrived and laid out-a town which he predicted. would become one of the largest citles in the country, At first called Laclede's Village, the place soon was gamed St. Louis in honor of Louis IX of France. For many years Chouteaw and his brother, Plerre, were well known as traders in the West. Lost Continent of Atlantis. Atlantis, an-ancient mythological is- siand, was supposed to lie in the Atlan- tic ocean west of the straits of Gibral- ‘ tar, and was. known as “the lost con- tinent.” Plato represents it as having been. engulfed in the sea 9,000 years previous as a punishment for the im- piety shown by the inhabitants in waging war against Athens, were filled with poisonous snakes of |] not refer to hours or | daylight increasing with the advancing || year, but to days as timed by the | bahe Rl sUNSHINE GROGEpy Carry-a-Bit—Save-a-Bit Tel. 851 120 Third St. Creamery Butter, 1-1b prints ..

UAT'S TH' HORVZON LINEY “H' ARVISY PUT 1Y IN YO GWE DEPTR YO Weakens the Body for ite Daily Fight for Health, and So Destroys # Good Looks. Every minute that a woman spends in worry, weakens the body for its daily fight: for health. It adds' age, it causes deep furrows to appear on the forehead, it injures the digestion and robs life of all pleasures and peace. So if,you wish to keep your good looks, don’t worry. Work gives incentive, and thus life and health, to the organs of the body. It strengthens our will, teaches us patience, perseverance and the- cour- age to endure. It has been the sal- vation of many. The homely duties that are.performed by the house'moth- er each day, the sweeping; cooking and home. caring, are wholesome du- ties which lead to health and strength. But if women allow thelr dally tasks. to fret and worry- them, they lose all of the benefit: they otherwise would gain. It is not always the ac- tual work that wears out the nerves and temper and ruins the disposition. 1t is the spirit in which the work is done which allows worry to creep in. —Detroit News.
