OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITX PROCEEDINGS ‘YA HOO. FOR A SNIFF OF GAS! ‘The most wonderful discovery since Bacchus found out what funny things could be done with a grape, is reported . from the ambitious city of Louisville, Kentucky. It is nothing more nor less than alcoholic gas, which produces all the effects of Old Crow, but without colliding, says the in- ventor, with Mr. Volstead’s appendix to the con- stitation. ' Matthew Hacker, a prominent “cit” of Louis- ville, is the man behind the gas, and he threatens right out loud to manufacture it and distribute it throughout the country. He says his plans are by the experimental stage and that he is now'ready and willing to do business with all who are ambi- tious to stagger hither and thither. “The Volstead law,” says Mr. Hacker, “prohibits the sale or manufacture of spirituous, vinous or malted liquors. Liquor is legally defined: ‘an al- coholic beverage—a liquid.’ Alcohol in any other form is strictly within the law. Alcohol is com- posed of a highly volatile matter and just plain water. Take away the water and you still have that which produces intoxication. In fact, it is possible to become gloriously intoxicated by sim- ply inhaling the fumes from the bunghole of a ‘whisky barrel.” + Now. comes the dark secret. “The first thing to be dome is to convert the liquor into gas, which makes it in a’form legal to handle. . This is a simple matter and a company is being formed to begin the manufacture of gas. Only the best Canadian whisky will be used. The gas will-be confined under great pressure in ‘small but strong tanks. This gas will be made in Canada and imported in the United ‘States in a perfectly . legal way and sold to club, cafes and individuals. “Attached to each tank will be a flexible tube, terminating 'in and inverted cup. This cup fits over a' cocktail shaker. The drink will be alco- holized in the same way it is carbonized. The cock- tail, minus whisky, is prepared. It is placed in the shaker, the cupped nozzle of the gas tank adjusted and the gas turned on. With a few shakes the cocktail is changed from a friend into the enemy of prohibition.” Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Asphyxiation, where is thy sting? But what is that loud chorus of voices from without? ' Prohibition officers shouting: “We gas not.” ‘editor. we were royally banquetted and delightfully en- December. RITCHIE SENTIMENT GROWING That the sentiment of the public is growing in favor of A. P. Ritchic for State Senator, cannot be disputed. Word is being received from the various sections of the district, congratulating Bemidji upon its success in uniting upon one man for this’ office. : The sincerity of purpose in‘this move on the. part of citizens, farmers and townspeople alike, is: self evident. Friends from Xoochiching county” and northern Beltrami county realize as never: before that the plan‘to endorse. a Bemidji ‘man..for the State Senate and’a northern Beltrami'county ‘man for House member, is_the logical thing to do. The. problem was to. find the man upon whom all could and would unite. A. P. Ritchie comes nearer to being the iogical, harmony candidate for the senate, 'than does perhaps any individual that could have been ‘'selected. ' We are now waiting for north- ern Beltrami county to declare hefself for a House member and then resolve with ‘detrmination and grit to stick by these candidates through-thick and thin. This wiil win, and nothing else. -t SAUK CENTER A REAL HOST The good people of Sauk Center have proven that they are past masters at the art of entertaining, especially when it comes to editors. Asa Wallace and his son Hugh are twenty-four-hour-a-day men. We know whereof we speak. So do others. They gave us the kind of entertainment we hope to be able to give in return some day. We could not hope to do better. Out at the Girls’ School we had a delightful time, And why not? There was nothing lack- ing that goes to make up a good time for any old Under the able direction ‘of Mrs. Morse, tertained. § § C. E. BATTLES FOR SCHOOL BOARD Friends of Mr. C. E.'Battles are strongly urging him to permit his name to be used as a candidate for member of the Board of Education. The elec- tion will be held next Friday. Mr. Battles would make an ideal member of this important'body and the citizens of Bemidji are to be congratulated upon being able to secure the service of ‘such a capable man. He should be strongly endorsed. §—% It begins to look as if some of the city offices might go begging this year. Well, why not pass up elections and appoint officers. We have some pretty good “sppointers.” —— About the time father has'shoveled off the side- walk for the fifth time in twenty-four hours, he be- gins to wonder where they get all this ‘chatter about unemployment. § § DeValera insists that he should have been presi- dent of a Refiuhlic of Ireland.

Fellows went to fill up the fur- nace in the basement. Upon her re- turn she was greeted by a circle of smoke, caused by a fire which evident-' 1y started in a _cupboard, which was not near the chimney. An alarm was immediately sent in, which was an- swered at once by a number of peo- ple. A hose connected to a force pump in Mr. Fellow’s basement was put into play against the flames. The fire was between partitions. Practical- 1y everything in the home had been removed, when the fire was finally put down. There is, however, quite a loss on account of smoke and water. Co-operation of the townspeople won the battle against the fire demon. The Community Commercial club will hold its annual meeting Tuesday, Feb. 14.
