OFFICIAL COUNTY AND C!TY PROCEEDINGS W EXERCISE YOUR FRANCHISE ~ YVotes to the number of 958 were cast for the proposed school sites Saturday, June 25. Does this mean that only about one- third of the voters of Bemidji care where the new $300,000 High School is going to be put? We do not believe so. Un- doubtedly many more votes would have been cast had the vot- ing hours been earlier and better accommodations supplied for the voting. Today there is an opportunity to show just how many really care where the new building is put and voting hours have been extended from three o’clock until nine o’clock. This will give all a chance to express themselves on the Bixby avenue site, There has been-no more important question before the electors of Bemidji in the history of the city. All should express themselves, _It is a part of the citizenship duties ex- pected of all Americans, Eo s g e ANOTHER GOUGE? Warning has been sounded in the United States senate that the coal barons are pulling the wires preparatory to another holdup in the price of coal next winter, It is not surprising,, On the contrary, it is quite to be expected. Officialdom has boasted loudly and long of dire punish- ments to be inflicted upon gougers. In fact, there has been so ?uch of blowing and bunk there has been no room left for ac- ion, Coal barons know this, They have profited from it in the past, and they expect to do so in the future. The public has been milked so often and so successfully the barons can not conceive of the possibility of a kick that would upset the bucket. A United States senator has given public and timely ing of the scheme. It is up.to some one to thwart it, We have an attorney general of the United States. ‘We have district attorneys all over the United States. We have a law that deals with highway and wholesale rob- bery, whether it be at the point of a gun or by the pulling of se- cret wires by unlawful combinations of plutocrats. We have jails that will hold even a plutocratic gouger—if some one doesn’t'turn the key. Why should we be robbed again next winter? Do TOWNLEY-LANGER DEBATES By Mall One Year —$8.00 warn- Rudolph Lee, editor of tne Long Prairie Leader, evidently looks with somewhat of suspicion on the Langer-Townley de- bates being given over the country at this time, one of which was scheduled in Bemidji yesterday. In a circular sent out by Mr. Lee he refers to the debates as follows: Dear Editor:—There seems to be little question but that the Townley-Langer debates are not on the square but are simply a cheap, money-making scheme. They were to have debated in Long Prairie yesterday. All arrangements Were under the direction of the local League politicians. They asked for the use of the fair grounds. Theh Fair Board offered them the grounds free, the local Delco agent offered to light the grounds free, both offers contingent upon the debate being free so everybody could hear it. The offer was turned down and the debate was not held. “No gate receipts, no de- bate” seems to be the motto. I am reliably informed that Langer gets a straight salary by the month from the League to act as a foil for Townley. The League takes all the gate receipts, They have been taking in from $200 to $800 per day. As a money-maker it beats the $16 proposition to death. While here, Langer in- dicated no interest in the proceedings at all—Town- ley did all the arranging. They arrived in same car and left in same car. These facts ought to be given wide publicity so as to protect your constituency from the new graft, Rudolph Lee, Editor, Long Prairie Leader. mfmflmfiifl—mfi OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR PROTECTING ALIENS Several times this country’s relations with other countries have been put in jeopardy because of injuries to nationals of those countries by cir cumstances over which the national governmgnt had no control. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1921 ) N HATS, as in suits, the styles de- ned for sports wear were the ers that have a wider field of usefulness, but preserve the smartn and Informality of sport models, No better word has been discovered for describing millinery of this sort than ‘“outdooring” hats. They are simply a combination of sport and tailored ideas that make the most adaptable of millinery and the most comfortable and durable as well. The sport hat, pure and simple, is indeed simple, but the out dooring hat often only makes believe to be simple, its making is sometimes an in- tricate piece of w ) The group of hats shown above In- cludes adaptable models that will prove ve oful to their owners.

Plaited strands of narrow black and white ribbon outline the brim and a sash of the black ribbon encircles the crown, At the right a wide-brimmed REALLY GOCD SHORT SERMON World Would Be Better If More of Us Had the Ideas of That Little Newshoy. | A bright-eyed, barefooted, shahby | ttle fellow was working his way through a crowded car, offering his papers in every direction, in a way that showed him well used to the busi- daunted. The train started while he was mak- Ing change and the conductor, passing him, laughed. “Caught this time, Joe!” he said, “You'll have to run to Fourtcenth St.” “Don’t care,” laughed Joe in return. “f can sell all the way back again.” A white-haired old* gentleman seemed interested in the boy and questioned him concerning his way of | living and his carnings. There was |a younger brother to he supported, |it appeared. “Jimmy” was lame and | “could not.earn much himsclf.” | “Ah, I see. That makes it hard; you could do better alone.” The shabby little figure was erect lin a moment and the denial was | prompt and somewhat indignant. | “No, I couldn't! Jim’s somebody to | go home to; lots of help. What | would he the good of havin’ luck if nobody was glad? Or of gettin’ things | it there was nobody to divide with?” “Fourteenth street!” galled the con- ductor, and as the newsboy Jumped out into the gathering dusk the old gentleman remarked to nobody in particular: “I've heard many a poorer | sermon than that."—TForward Maga- | zine. This because of our peculiar relationship between federal and state governments—something that most other countries find it very difficult to understand. Senator Kellogg has a bill before the senate to enable the United States | government ta, keep its contracts with other governmnts to protect their citizens against forcible invasion of their persons or their rights. This- bill, which is in the form that has been recommended by the American Bar association, should be passed. It will have opposition, no doubt; very likely some of the Pacific coast states will prefer to be left so they can handle such international complications as they please, withou interference by the national government. But such opposition ought not to prevail. In all that affects its relations with other countries, the nationa government should be supreme, and certainly it should have power to pro- tect the nation against international difficulties that might very easily arise out of the present situation.—Duluth Herald. THE FEMININE TOUCH v An Illinois woman has just been appointed “municipal housekeeper” in her town and has entered upon her duties. These do not consist, as might be spppused, in seeing that no accumulation of rubbish or filth is allowed . to disfigure the city streets, alleys and vacant lots. This duty formerly de- volved upon the police, but the city fathers decided that “the touch of a woman’s hand” would help matters. Whatever may be said concerning the home as woman’s sphere, there can be little argument over the statement that most women are by bir’th and training be‘ttver housekeepers. than most men, and the application of their talent to civic tidiness is practiced too little. Cities, like houses, will not stay clean. They must be kept so, and this is a matter of daily ‘attention With a trained feminine eye and hand at the head of this work, a year-round . “spotless town” should be the result.—Little Falls Trnnscl‘ipt.‘ g Eatrs 5 Extra Care taken to turn out Job Work —that will be a credit to your business and °Call 922 RO L TR T O T T T T LT T ness and of a temperament not easily | yope o parrots in different cpuntries Ono/Reclpo for Success.

It is trimmed with a ribbon about the | crown with flat tailored brim at the| back and front. A modified sailor shape, in lisere braid with a slightly rolling brim, is finished with a wide band of faille rib- bon. Such a hat is much at home any- where that sport or street hats are worn, as one may gather from the sweater coat and angora scarf found in the company of a high-necked lace Jabot that are shown with it. The fine, wide-brimmed Panama hat, hav- ing its wide crown covered with nar- | row faille ribbon in two colors, is of | just the same character as the sailor | Lat. The ribbon is cleverly placed in two overlapping and interwoven rows. /m fmfi COPYRIGHT ¥¢ WESTERN NE¥SPAPER UNION Few Killed by ‘Hailstones.
