LIMITED £ | Is It a Disadvantage? Apparently one outstanding fea: ture about an election . on ‘a schoo site is that you can get into any num- | ber of areuments as to which is the | best site even if you agree with tae other fellow. That’s the easiest way to start most arguments, anyway. —Don’t Agree!— Taking Chances | A woman of our acquaintance and who is quite well known about town | jooked into a patent medicine book to| find out whether or not she was sick. —She Was— Grade Stuff Due to the fact that the city has a| lady clerk, it seems as if the city council might do away with a lot Otl this dirty, low-grade talk at the| meetings by having a special com- mittee appointed to take up all peti-| titions asking for repair of dirt roads| and grading of streets. | —Might Help Some— | Try It Anyway f Instead of letting the city council‘\ argue for at least 15 minutes at ev-| ery session about securing a site for a ‘detention hospital. why not let the public vote on it? Said public has aiready dene so well with the school site election. | —But, Has It?— Sticktoitiveness | The guy who has real sticktoitive- | ness is the guy who ‘can stick to his| job in weather when he sticks to his | chair. | | | —So, Stick to It— ! Picturesk Now that.the school district has afiain failed to designate a site for the new high school, we suggest that| the school board get a wagon, some- | thing like the above, build the school on the back end of it, and then each | of the three sites could have it part! _time. —Giddap!— “Oh, Boise” 2 Evidently the idea of some of those persons who voted against having a largé site for the new school building is that the boys and girls don’t need any playgrounds. One individual has been heard to say that no playground was needed for a school, and if the boys and girls wanted to play “ten- nis,” let them go where tennis was | being played. It is easy to imagine that any children of his would never have a chance to play tennis or any- thing else, except possibly a game of “ring around the rosy” at recess time. And then as far as the old site providing space for a playground, the strip 22 feet wide on each side and 80 feet wide on each end of the build- ing would provide plenty of space be called a scoundrel. Not that makes any difference, but in our opin- ion a man of that marked ability should be called a wonder. —A Genius, at Least— Still at It According to the reports of con- ginued fighting in northern Ireland, it might be said that the armistice was quite a success. ~—What’s the Use?— HIDES Cow hides, No. 1 Bull hides, No. 1..

(By United Press) London, July 18. — (By Ed L. | { Keen) —Opposition to Premier Lloyd head of the British delegation to the Washington dis- armament conference was Erowing today. The premier’s most forceful enemies were marshalling their forces to forestall him from assuming lead- ership. In well informed circles, Arthur Balfour is béing mentioned as a pos- sible chief of the British delegation. The Times, in a leading editorial following Viscount Northcliffe’s in- terview with the United Press, gen- T the participation of either Lloyd George or Lord Cur- zon in the conference. The latter was characterized “particulariy unde- sirable because of his pompous, pre- tenticus masner, and busineis inca- pacity as execntive of the present department.” The Times, however, approved of the opening of the conference on Armistice Day, but warned against George as the prejudices which might be brougnt|’ about by too hasty action. Tho Mishes Jath dnd Mary Liosd entertained at a porch party Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Myrtle Harding, who left this afternoon for an extended visit jin’ the west.

India rubber Is an earlier name for rubber, but now little used. Soon af- ter the discovery of America (then called India), Europeans heard of the use of this substance.

It is a curious'thing, in the present high tide of the drama, and remember- ing that the glory of English literature I8 Its poetry, that we have no good modern English drams in verse. It is ail the more remarkable because the foremost ‘French dramatist and the foremost modern German dramatist wrote their masterpieces in verse form —“Cyrano de Bergerac” by Rostand ‘and “Die Versunkene Glocke,” by Hauptmann, John DMasefield, when he writes plays, writes them in prose, with only slight exceptions, And so, for the most part, have Synge, Yeats, Lord Dun- sany, and others. George Meredith might have written poetic dramas in the Elizabethan manner.

Many young Chinese women have adopted western shoes, but those who grew up in the days before foot bind- ing was forbidden still wear the tiny, resplendently embroidered shoes that have no counterpart in all the world. Roughly, these shoes are.of two. types: one, which has a falr-sized heel made on the shoe for outdoor wear; and an- other, which has no heel, for indoor use. The latter, however, may be fitted' with a loose heel held in posi~ tion by tapes if the lady wishes to walk abroad. i =='llllllillIIlllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllillllllllllE Care taken to turn out Job Work ~—that will be a credit to your business and ours. _Call 922 T RS T Al Subscribe ~ for The Bemidji Weekly Pioneer $2.00 For a Whole Year The Daily Pioneer Delivered to Your Door for 55¢ Per Month PIONEER PUBLISHING CO.

Vicinity, Dear Sir:— Some time ago one of our good cus- tomerxs on route 3 left on an extended visit to his old home in the southern part ‘of Wisconsin, where he had not visited in the last thirty years. . Gilbert says there is lots of changes in that country, and that land that you could buy for $20 and $25 per acre at that time is now bringing $300,’and some better. 2 His old neighbor is still there, and in talking over old times, he made this statement: B “We are at the end of our string— our property cannot advance any more and we are now suffering a little set- back, but your territory (refe‘rri_x_ng to the district- surrounding Bemidji) is just starting to get her growth, and you ‘are bound to reap the benefit.” This is a statement by an utter out- sider to our tefritory, but he realizes that we have a great future before us. Have You that Same Confidence? Gilbert alsg made the statement that while on this trip he ‘had done‘ some very close inspecting into the prices in the stores in the different towns he was jn, and said that he had found that BEMIDJI is the one bright spot as far as prices were concerned, that BEMIDJI prices were about ten per cent to fifteen per cent cheaper than in the southern Wisconsin _territory. This letter to our trade is to point out to you that all far away fields are not as green as they may seem, and that we, as your Hardware and Implement store, have done everything in our pow- er to get prices to the very lowest place consistent with the grade of goods han- dled. Each week we receive a set of change sheets for our catalogue giving us any reductions that have come thru in that week—and these have been pass- ed on to our customers as soon as re- ceived, whether we paid the high price’ for same or not. Take for ' instance Builders’ Hard- ware, Locks, Hinges, etc.—on March 11 we received a ten per cent reduction, and then again on July 1 another ten per cent reduction. These have been passed on to our customers. If you have a list of goods you wish to purchase, mail it or bring it to our store and we will give you our quota- tion. You may find, as Gilbert did, that it pays to get Bemidji prices before sending elsewhere. Your for a bumper crop this fall, which will bring Beltrami County as THE county in Minnesota, and the U. S.
