= T Y — e e e e e ey ey THE BEMIDJI DAILY, PIONEER WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1921 \ ST GOT A Science of Deduction Spmebody, evidently made a mis- take in one of the ads for Market Day, for. the ad announced: “100 yards of Ladies’ Fine Shoes. X Science of deduction tells us that the advertiser must have meant 150 pairs | of shoes.;; 100 yards is 300 feet, al-| lowing ‘two! feet | to each pair of shoes, it leaves us 150 pairs. But' just imagine what might have happened if some one-legged lady had come along. That’s as bad as advertising a spe- cial sale on ladies’ hosiery at a dollar a pair, or 59 cents a foot. b —Ain’t It a Fact?— How About Him? Playing “Nearer My God to Thee” en route to the cemetery the other | day in the funeral procession for William Dallatrori, at Montrose, | Colo., the band struck up “Ain’t We | Got Fun” returning from the cem- etery. This was in accordance with the provisions of the deaed man’s will, which also provided that each of the pall-bearers receive a gallon of whis- key: The chances are that if that fellow ever needs pall-bearers again, he will have a_long waiting list. —Likewise the Whiskey— How They Get That Way In the guessing contest which was held by the Bemidji Creamery at the fair, one lady guessed that the tub weighed 105. pounds. The: truth is that the butter weighed 34 pounds and ‘3 ounces. That lady must have been buying her butter from a short change artist. Another lady guessed that it weigh- ed 14 ounces. ' She must be getting| her butt¢x from the home folks on the | farm. PUTTTTTITUVESTREURT TS Ao ol e POTATOES Chicago, Sept. 28.—Potato Te-| ceipts 139 cars. Mzrket weak. Total U.

Possible revenue from all known sources has been carefully gone over and every possible con- tingency considered. For years the possiblity of a tax- less Minnesota has been the dream of more than’ one''staté offical and while not'as- optimisitic. as some of his predécessors, Mr. Chase at least expects a mateérial reduction and the abolition of the revenue is the first step toward its realization. Last year'Minnesota did the larg- est business in'its history. Receipts totaled $54,370,666.46, and the ex- penditures ' $49,609,630.35, - At the close of ' the there was a cask balance of $13,919,- 888,83 'in the state treasury.

PREVENTION OF FIRES SUBJECT OF MEETING (By Umited Press) St. Paul, Sept. 28.—With the for- est fire season at hand a mass meet- ing of organizations interested jn prevention of forest fires was held today. W. T. Cox, state forester was the central figure. He told the congress that more funds must be had in order to make fire prevention more certain in the north ' woods. ' The forestry patrel service is inadequate, he pointed out, some rangers having to care for ter- ritory that should'srequire ten or fifteen men. The Minnesota Federation of Wo- men’s’ clups wil play 2 prominent part in the conference. Mrs. C. A.

The man who is a failure at small talk never quite hears what the girl he' is talking to has to say. He is trying to think what hé is going to say next, so of course he cannot'fail to misunderstand what the girl he is talk- ing to says. He is heedless, abstract- ed, worried and has a way of listening to the conversation of others rather than to. those at hand, The girl whom men regard as 8 good talker is always ready with a laugh, and the girl who laughs well is always popular.
