Un- . doubtedly much of the revival has been due' to the spirit en- . gendered by the late world war, which demonstrated the great ‘possibilities of unselfish service. i In the past, there has been too great a tendency for qll lodges to drift along in a self-satisfied manner vealizing only in a more or less selfish way their obligations only to each other and recognizing little obligation to those outside the pale of their fraternity. A The greatest fraternalist who ever lived gave a very con- crete example of the scope of fraternalism, in the story of the| man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among i thieves. 1 The great fraternal societies have done wonderful service " in the alleviation of suffering in the world, but there is much more to be done. And the society, which, in the future, will Six 138 of the world and comfort the distressed, whether they be of their pale or not, will find itself becoming a great indispensable factor in the world’s activities. Realizing this, some lodges are already concentrating their united efforts to erect monuments of their great work where the chief activity will be to relieve suffering. Such proj- ects as these will not only give every member of such societies an opportunity to contribute to the amelioration of suffering, but will take away from the lodges themselves some of the sel- fishness which has found its way into them. Self pleasure and gratification will give place to a broader vision of help to all mankind, which is the basis of all real fraternalism. gt | ARE YOU WITH THE BOYS? ‘Armistice Day comes but once a year, and we must re- member who is responsible for having an Armistice to celebrate, When the people at home learned that the Armistice had been signed and was put into effect at 11:11 a. m., November 11, 1918, on the fighting fronts, joy reigned supreme, Demonstra- tions sich as had never been known during the war took place in nearly every community. It seemed to mean that the boys who were responsible for the close of the fighting would soon be home-again. . of its size, but since that time the armistice has become a thing of the past with the majority. The boys had no benefit from the first celebration, although it was entered.into:whole-heart-|- edly by the public. They were home last year on Armistice Day and appreciate the spivit.of co-operation that: was shown them at that time in putting over a celebration of which they had charge. They are still home this year, and are putting on another celebration here. With them the spirit of Armistice Day means much and will never die. : The least that Bemidji and the surrounding territory can do to show the boys that the public is still with them is to take an active interest in the celebration which the Bemidji post of the American Legion is to stage here November 11. The time to prepare to do this is now. Let the boys know that you are with them in this enterprise and you will get an entertainment which will surely let you know that with the boys who were in the service Armistice Day is something to celebrate. The success of the whole affair depends largely upon the public. The boys are sure to do their part. They did it before, and are going to do it again. e T DISTRIBUTING THE LOAD EVENLY In order to meet obligations, the Beltrami County Fair as- sociation has decided to issue certificates of indebtedness, ‘bearing a fair rate of interest s and issuing them in small enqugh denominations so that all may carry at least a few. This is a splendid plan and should meet with general approval. The burden should be carried by all of the people of the com- munity, and not .a few. It is a fair for the farmer and he should object seriously if he is not givenian opportunity to purchase some of these certificates. No one should be slighted, and nl;‘er‘x:%)aé‘s of the association should see to it that no one will:be slighted. PSSR, RS THE TEN THOUSAND LAKES “Pat” McGarry from Bemidji, although he resides in one of our suburbs, Walker, was in Bemidji the other day and mere- ly reminded our citizens that this Ten Thousand Lakes associa- tion was still buying lakes. We were for him, no matter what he had to sell, and he knows it. - That’s why no canvass was necessary for Bemidji. We'll take our share of $500 worth of more lakes if "Ifat" says so. Mr. McGarry also stated that other states consider this piece of advertising the best ever at- tempted by any state in the Union, and we know it’s so. e ——————————————————————————————————————————— The Humbie Clothespin. /' Every Monday morning thousands of! pulley lines squeak and thousands of clothesping are jabbed into place.

Is this country to see very soon & “boom” of the smaller community as contrasted with the great city? The editor of the Willlam Feather Magazine of Cleveland suggests it, as follows: “Within the next twenty 'years it geems certain that two movements will take place that will enlarge the small town. “One of these will be the migration of business and professional men and their families to towns of 5,000 to 20,000 located within a fifty-mile radius of cities in which they work during the day. “The other will be the decentraliza- tion of industry and the movement of both factories and working forces from the city to the small towns. “With improved living conditions, factories will favor small town sites, figuring that they will thus reduce their labor tyrnover, and save enough in overhead, -taxes and interest on ex- pensive city: sites, more than to com- pensate them for the disadvantage of doing business in a small town. “If this adjustment does take place it will solve many of our most ‘per- plexing problems, for there {s no ques- tion that' our ‘cities are' getting ‘too big., A city, like a business, can get so darge: that the law of ‘diminishing turnS begins to operate. It''is an eStablished principle that when a business grows beyond a certain point tbe return on the capital invested decreases. “The same principle applies to cities. Big cities have such.problems as trans- portation, housing, heglth, fire and police protection, from which the small town is largely free. “The factors which are doing much to hasten this decentralization are the automobile, the wotion picture and the talking machine, all of them recent | inventions, “The, automobile has shortened the distance between the small town and the big city by 75 per cent. “The motion plcture has given the small town the cheapest and most popu- lar form of entertainment ever' de- vised, while the talking machine has enabled the people to hear the world’s best music right in their own homes. “One: other force has aided and is aiding. the small town, and. this is cheap printing and. low postal rates. National: ‘weekliés' and monthlies, through their editorial and advertis- ing columns, have brought the world's news and markets to every door.” NO SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAYS San Diego Bars Things That Obstruct the Motorist’s View of Danger- ous Curves. "All signs, stands or “obstructions of any kind must at once be- removed from the public highways or rights of way in and about San Dlego, Cal, by virtue of an ordinance passed by the county board of supervisors. After listening to specific instances of -the placing of advertising signs in such a way that they obstructed the motor- ists' view of dangerous curves and thereby menaced those who use the highways, the supervisors agreed that the practice should be stopped imme- diately. The new ordinance will affect the placing: of advertising signs oh county highway bridges, or over the highways at_any .point.

Following -‘correspondence -with . of- ficers' of " the “Ameérican Forestry as- sociation, Colonel Sherrill, the engineer officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, has arranged to label the principal trees in Washington's’ parks, so that everybody interested uiay know their identity. The approved design for the label 1s a small cast iron plate curved to fit-the trunk and screwed securely into place. On the surface of this plate is fastened an aluminum plate shov/- Ing in embossed letters the common aud scientific names of the = tree. These plates will be placed on about 1,000 trees, including all the rare and least-known speclmens, and . as many of the indigenous’ 'dnd better-known specimens as possible. “Ififs sald that ‘the collection of trees in’Washington includes one or two speelmens of prac- tically every tree in the civilized world that will grow in that climate. - Postcards Help Boost City. To encourage civic art and to op- beautiful movement, the Municipal Art league of Chicago has prepared a serles of postcard views of Chicago and vicinity., The new cards are made from prize-winning pictures in a re- cent photographic contest and are fin- ished ih the finest photogravure work. They are an absolute departure from the iden’ of the ordinary picture post- card, and-are expected to add to the prestige of the clty by a truer and more satisfactory expression of its beauty.— Popular Mechanics Maga- zlne.

An Interesting history attaches to a small packet abont two and a half inches square which recently arrived in London. It weighed two and a half pounds and was eagerly bought by an American firm for about $6,000. The pucket contnfned ' osmiridium: (osmium and its alloy, irldium), used for the tipping .of fountain. pen points.and for delicate bearings of fine machinery. “The discovery of osmirldium, which 18 a member’ef ‘the Platinum group of metals, constitutes an interestiug ro- mance, the Detroit News states. To- ward the end of the last year a small group of prospectors were washing for gold In one of the river beds in Papua, British New .Guinea. In their eager- ness to find the precious metal they threw away from their paus & bluish- gray, flaxy substance as worthless. This was osmiridium, and it is eight times more valuable than gold and worth at the present time about $200 an ounce. v ‘ When the men got back to the set- tlement they mentioned the occurrence to a_mining engineer, who immediately asked them what they did with the substance. They replied that they left it on the river bank, and the en- glneer exclaimed, “It must be osmirid- fum.” The next morning the whole party started for the spot, only to find on their arrived ‘thatithe tropical rains and the swollen river had washed away most of the precious stuff. What remained was carefully raked together, refined and dispatched to - London, where it arrived safely a short while ago, having been heavily insured for the voyage. : Osmiridinm is one of the hardest metals known and: prospéctors’.are engerly §earcmng for it in Papua. styles.

By July 1 of the present year the numbers had risen to, 700 scouts in 29 troops, not including five new. troops in the process of or- ganizatfon, including some 75 scouts. This splendid gain has been the result of ‘the tiveless work and fine enthusi- asm of the men behind it, who have every right to be more than proud of |their achievement in promoting scout- ing to such a remarkable extent’in so short a time. _'Tlié “scoutmasters’ school, conducted by, the, Jeadership and training committee, has graduated 45 men and has hed an average of 70 regularly at .its.meetings, a. number which has more than-ence risen to-con- siderably .over 100.
