A certain Bemidji. motor ' dray, which bears on ome side the. sign «U-R-Next,” was seen carrying 2 rough box to a local undertaker’s es- tablishment where it was unloaded. On another part of the dray there is another sign which reads “There Goes Tesch.” The drayman, however, sdays that sometimes you can’t believe in signs. Aint It a Fact?— Very Limitcd Last year’s slogan was “1921 will reward fighters.” As far as we can see it sure did. Look at what Dempsey got.

Still one of the prize winners stated that the Bemidji }; spirits had a great deal to do with it. Why didn’t the other 799 think of the spirits?—OQOne of the 800. B SAYS SPIRIT IS WHAT MAKES BEMIDJI GOOD! Following is the essay which won second prize in the contest recently coducted by the Civic and Commerce association. H. Z. Mitchell is the writer. i Bemidji good. A Spirit can not be defined in cold words; that makes it: presence felt in the activity, energy ind wholesome goodfellowship of the citizens of the Bemidji communi- ty; that draws progressive people, to it, and once drawn holds them by the p'easure of its association. Many reasons might be given for| Bemidji being a good city but any reason would not be complete without | having thp Spirit back of it. Educatlpnal advantages prove a salient point but without the Spirit of the community permeating them You're all wrong old man. Laws and a police force should make Be midji a good-city. —We Said “Should”— Puposky News Happy New:Year was the cry up and down the streets Sunday after- noon at Puposky when the paraid started which was a bandsied drawen by Big Slim B. with one lonely pasan- ger, his name is well nowen as Dadie. threw a song he sings. Well Dadie had the free ride threw Puposky streets. Finely the so-called paraid stoped and changed about, with Big Slim B. tak- ing the free rid=. As the snow was too deep and the road was not wide enough, therefore it was nice to fall back to the sled, untill it stoped at Ray McKnight, and were guests for supper wich was a swell meal given to the slay riders. There also is a tel. phone .in this town, .so there was 2! short but.snapy telphone call, wich dld. not last long but was very inter- esting to listen to wile talking, for two ladies can have fun over the tel- phone line as well as anybody. After spending part of the night, the slay riders finely went home, figured a nice day spent and hooray for 1922, a3 Puposky is still on the map. * Yours truly, Raseberry Bill. —We'll Say She Be!— Proprietor Had'Weak Heart “Well,” said the waiter to the res- taurant’ patron, who had just had kis coffee cup refilled for the seventh time, “you must be very fond of coffee.” “Yes, indeed,” answered the pa- tron, “or I wouldn’t be drinking so much water to get a little.” —“Fill ‘Ex Up Again”— KELLER HAS JOINED RACE FOR MAYOR OF ST.

It was one of a large class of, simtlar terms describing jn a hu- | morqus mauner the special dish, prod- uct or peculiarity of a particvlar dis- trict. Thus, in England, a “German.. Duck” wa$ the slang name for a8 sheep’s head. stewed in onions. “Leis- | |§ tershire Plover” was the name given to a bag pudding, and “Digby Chickén" was the slang term for herring, Similar examples of metaphorical names for favorite dishes are found in every country. And long before the word “rarebit” was ever heard of, the familiar dish of “cheese and ale” was known as a “Welsh Rabbit.” It was-only: when. some solemn ety- mologist came along, and gravely noting the fact that there was nothing in the dish to even remotely sug- .gest a connmection with a rabbit, sug- #ested that the word was undoubted- vhich would make some sense at least. No “rarebit” it became among the pur- isfs. And the early dictionaries adopted it, though the wodern ones acknowledge that I“rabbit” has the right of way., Restoration Worth While, Why. build néw-cottages?

Foilowing colorful parades in both cities, with floats depicting the bene- fita of the bridge and the linking of the two states, Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, Governor Edwards New Jersey, Mayor Moore of Phila- " delphia, Mayor Ellis of Camden and other dignitaries of Pennsyivania‘and New Jersey, assemb?ed at the site for the Philadelphia end of the bridge where: the ceremony of breaking ground was held., Each taking his turn, Governors Sproul and Edwards and Mayors Moore and Eliis struck a silver-piated pick into the ground at the foot of Vine. street. near pier No. 11, north wharves, where the actual construc-- tion of the foundations will start. Reiigious ceremonies were also held. Thousands of people assembled for the ceremonies and all streets around the site’ were jammed with automo- biles. » _As the silver-plated pick was:-being wielded, two hydroplanes from the Philadelphia navy yard soared over- head and- went through an exercise with parachutes and streamers depict- ing the joining of Camden and Phila- delphia, while below them in the Dei- aware river boomed a saluie from the old battleship Olympia, Admiral Dewey’s flagship. Several other war- vessels from the navy yard floated on the river, Thq bridge, to be the largest of it: type in the world, is expected to be completed -by 1925 or 1926. When the World Is Filled. A member of the Royal Geographic society in England estimates that the fertile lands of the globe amount to 28,000,000 square iiles, the steppes to 14,000,060, and the deserts to 1,000,000. Fixing 207 persons to the square mile for fertile lands, ten for steppes and one for deserts as the greutest popu- Iatlon that the earth could properly nourish, he arrives at the conclusion that when the number of inhubitants reaches about 6,000,000,000 our planet will be peopled to its full eapacity. If the rate of increase .shown by | recent censiis statlsties should be uni- | | formly maintained, it is shown that| the globe would be fully peopled about the year 2 But such calen- | lations do. not allow for ww - wn; sources of error, and therefore ....not be taken too literally. | of small palms and ferns of the long- " |ICE"'BY ELECTRIC PROCESS Method, Long Tried Out in Hotels, Restaurants, and Ships, Soon to Be Universal, Now that iceless refrigeration has been simplified’ to the point where it is suitable for the home, it is safe to predict that it will not be long be- fore it will be within the reach of even those of very modest pocket books, and all need of bothering with the iceman, with his plck and tongs, will be gone. T'he ice used on our tables-has, long been the product of electric refrigera- tion, although the mechanism was not located in our own homes, says the Philadelphia North American. Hotels, restaurants and passenger boats have efficient, sanitary and convenient. Llectricity does not immediately ang | directly produce the ‘freezing tempe; ature, but merely provides the moti used the electric process because it is | i power. to condense - certain chemicals ; vhich are the actual refrigerants. In the process of condensation these ' chemicals vaporize or “boil” and. ab- sorb the heat from the surrounding air. The machinery by which con- densation and vaporization is pro- duced was formerly large and ex- pensive, and it has taken contigu- ous experimentation to reduce it to a point where it is practical for house- hold use. % The process has been similar to the transition of locomotive power from the large and clumsy railroad steam engine to the-smaller automobiles, with their comparatively simple mechanism, The complex machinery had to be re= fined to a point where it could be produced eheaply and operate on a small seale. Electric refrigeration has now almost reached the jitney class. It will soon be considered essential in all our Kkifphens. ‘ PLANT INDOOR WINDOW BOX | Small Expense’ and Little Effort Re- quired to Have Ornamentation Always Pleasing.

The impressions on most people’s minds must have been received more from pictures than reality, so far as I can judge; so ragged they think the pine; whereas Its chief character is green and full roundmess. It stands compact, like one of its own cones, slightly curved on its sides, finished and quaint as a carved tree in some Elizabethan garden; and Instead of being wild in expression, forms the softest of all forest scenery; for oth- er trees show their trunks and twist- ing boughs; but the pine, growing ei- ther in luxuriant mass or In happy isolation, allows no branch to be seen.
