BCSEER Cs S T PAGE EIGHT | o ™e X Twentleth Laugh With Us— Not At Us— Lake Bemidji's Fish An article in a récent issue of The Pioneer states that there are plenty of fish in Lake Bemidji if the fisher- men only know their business. That may be so, bul ysu must remember that even some fish in the lake may know their business better than the fishermen do. They may not be as big “fish” as they look. —Can’t Always Tell—- Too Late to Classify Sybmitted herewith is an “est which was sent to The Pioneer wich the request that it be entered in the contest recently conducted by the Civic and Commerce assoctation. It arrived too late for the contest, but after giving it careful consideration we consider that the only place it could be published withoul causing any serious effects is in this colun, Editor Pieneer: I see they are hav- ing a contest on what makes Demidji such a fine place to live at and I wduld like to try for the prizes. ¢ 2oq Bemidji is_a nice place an T like to live there because you can do just as you please there and ngbody says a word. When I want to have a drink of home made moonshine all I have to do is go in my favorite place and get it and nobody says a word. This will' help to make a big city because when they find out:in other places about this they will all flock here to have a good time where no- body bothers you if you want to get lit up like & new saloon and die from alcohall poison. ' If you get arrested it don’t cost much for a fine and besides the police have to earn their salary once in a while. You bet Bemi a good town for me, hurray for Bemidji, whoopee! If I get the prizes I will set ’em up for everybody—that never say a word.— Ime A. Boozer. > —We'll Say You Are— On a Windy Corner Two Bemidji men were discussing the banking situation. | “Bemidji has the rottenest set of bankers in the world," said one. “There isn’t one of them who knows he is alive. I those bankers would go to digging sewers and let the sew- er diggers run the banks our finan- cial matters would be in more com- petent hands, but we would all die of typhoid or -something before the sewers were completed.” “I couldn’t borrow money, either,” said the other man mildly. —Did It Ever Happen to You— Saving the Coupons ' We heard yesterday of a woman who allows her husband to -smoke every mgpt in the week in the front parlor with his fect propped up on the favorite library table. She must be saving the coupons. —That’s About” All— Before and After.: .

City noises: are shat- tering our nerves, undermining our health, shortening our lives and driv- ing us to insanity, according to Mrs. Oakley. Personal investigation has shown this to be true, she said. Here are some of Mrs. Oakley's suggestions for lesaening our chances of landing in.the “booby-hatch.” Prohibit the ringing of church bells. They ate contrary to Ammerican pub- " lic opinion against sectarianism. “Alarms” emitting :a musical note ‘or scale should be_carried on swift- moving vehicles, They should be the same for uhl‘yohieku;tirens, bells and so forth to be resorted to only in sud- _den danger of life.

E: Be:}ud; Address AB carc 6% el 0o MLeH: OF A GREAT MAN’S SON FORGOTTEN Lafayette’s Boy, Named for George Washington, Was Once:a Refuges in This Gountry. The Century compafly .says that | comments provoked by “Sword of Lib- erty,” recently published by them, im- préssed them with the fact that the average American seems never to have heard of George Washington Lafayette. It seems strange that his story was not exploited during the wartime re- surgence of enthusiasm about Lafay- ette and his noble friendship for this country; yet how many ‘Americans know that Lafayette had a son named after his fast friend, General Wash- ington, or that the boy was at one time a refugee in this country? The. story is part of the packground of the account. of ;two. revglutions— American and French—contained .in the book. Following the earlier: phase ot the French Revolution, during which Lafayette was S0 immensely. popular, and nfter the hostility to his modera- tion had developed which drove him into exile, he sent his son to America, to the care of the.American George Washington for whom he was named. “It -was his boy; according to the authors, Frank W. and Cortelle J. Hutchins, who, on returning from America,. dug_up from the garden of the Paris residence where they had been buried, the two swords, given to Lafayette by the American. congress ang the French republic in recognition of his services In the two republics. This Georges Washington Motier de { LaFayette was born In 1779; he was therefore but thirteen when he fled to America in 1792 and-his. distinguished father to the neutral territory of Liege. | —The Argonaut. e PARIS MUSICIAN ' LIKES JAZZ M.
