OFPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS ) THE GIRL OF TODAY “Is the g:rl of today as bad as she is painted?” *, is the title of an article in the Pictorial Review, and Kathleen Norris, the author, assuming the affirma- i tive side of the argument, says: “Indeed, she is.”” Everyone who reads, knows what I mean,” says Kathleen. “I mean just what we have been wit- nessing between boys and girls between the ages of 17 to 25; reckless speech; unchaperoned parties of the wildest freedom; smoking; the ‘hip-pocket’ flask at afternoon-and evening dances; the .de- mand for incessant and extravagant amusement and the wearing of immodest dress. 2 “We all know the stories, and distracted moth- L .ers write me new ones in every mail—from Wichita and Sioux Falls- and ‘Paris, Me., .and’ Galveston, Texas. There seems to be no end to the gasping and shocks. - And there seems to be no geographi+ \© cal limits'to the contagion. Truly, it was in the biggest city that -a-debutante with a-boy friend § .rented a small, furnished apartment downtown and ] entertained their friends in what I-believe:to be an entirely’ innocent manner,’ with:luncheon, teas and early dinners, without the knowledge of ‘their elders. *This was in'New, York ‘but it'was from‘a of the abandonment of corsets’ atidances by the girls and-it was from a:Kentucky.town that 'a mother wrote me ‘that.her son’s’little group, chil- dren of ‘the micest families in:town,’ called 'their small' dancing club the ‘Twin-Beds’ A conserva- tive .Boston . fatherreproached: his’ wife because their daughter became intoxicated.at her ‘coming .out’ party, and to my own knowledge aCalifornia ¥ _debutante found herself, on the morning after her ¥ imposing presem.ation ball, with several boy friends ; at’ a country hotel.” In the name.of God and the sanctity of thc home, the indictment is a terrible one, and evidence that at least a part of it is true, is round about us. That small middle’ western: town- that_the' story starte'(}lv the danger is a real one, paren nd gnardmns, who are not purposely blind, mlllt admit. ‘The glehpb(l i self-carittel aresone afithe natioh’s' and nothing can replace thaf g‘u‘lhoo and despolleu To our way of thinking, u\eru has been-ane-over- powering: cause -for these and that is semcthing we may talk about one of these days, but just mow the overwhelming con- clusion -is that we arc reaping.the whirlwind and ' that stricter discipline and an awakening on the part of parents’is a vital necessity if the girls of today are to ‘become the real mothers of men of tomorrow. 1t will not do to dismiss the subject with a mere shrug of the shoulders. 3 DON'T APPLY IN BEMIDJ} ‘Someone in Duluth sent the following entitled “The Telephone Monologue” to The Northwestern Bell, official publication of the telephone company: “I am_a telephone. . While I am not broke, I am in the hands. of -the receiver. I have a mouthpiece, but, unlike a woman, I never use it. Fellows use me to make dates with girls, and girls use me to break *said dates. Husbands call up their wives over ‘me; and wives call their husbands down. I never get to call anywhere, but sometimes the com- pany takes me out. I am not a bee, but I often buzz. I am the ‘Bell’ of the town and, while I do not - get - jewelry, I often get rings.” It might be added that while it sits around all day it is often busy (excuseitplease), and some- times when you are out of patience, it is out of ‘order. * In Bemidji’ the service is improving won- derfully under Manager Caskey. F—s ‘A Bemidji woman opened an account at one of the ‘banks .the other day, and when the attendant asked her: “Deposit, or drawing?;” she replied, “Qh, deposit:for him—drawing for me.”” Ain't it the truth, men? isdirec écted § § Out of the many evidences of returning busi- ness confidence and financial® stability, none is more conclusive than the steady advance in prices of Liberty Bonds, says a government official. —_ Good health experts are telling us what to eat in"cold, weather. ‘One pretty good general rule to follaw is to eat anything yow can get hold of that doesnt cost too ‘much. 8 .

MIGHTY RIVER IS THE YUKON Ranks as One of the World’s Greatest, Though It Was Long Compara- tively Unknown. The Yukon is one of the great rivers of the world. It is more than 2, miles long and is both the longest and the largest river flowing into Pacific waters in the western hemisphere, sur- ‘passing by a considerable margin its nearest competitors, the Columbia and the Colorado. Among all the rivers of North America the Yikon s sur- passed In:length only by the Missis- sippl system and the Mackenzie. It is longer than the St. Lawrence, as ‘well as all the other rivers except the Mississippl ‘system which flows into the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic. fThe existence of such a large tiver as the Yukon in the Far North was long unsuspected. A Russian licu- oskin, entered its* mmlr.h 1842 anad ti ern Light. T Bay conipuny had diseoyered 1ts Jiead- waters in Canada; but| the two bits of information were not pieced to- gether.
