" Twentieth, + Century Caused Quifte A Flurry “The announcement by a local thea- ter that the boys who brought their grandmothers to the show would be admitted for the price of one ticket must ‘have caused quite a flurry about town. The boys “who buried their grandmothers” last summer to get off for a baseball game were probably quite busy ressurrecting them so as to get into the show for nothing. —“Grandma’s Boy’— A Bachelcy: Speaks A prominent Bemidji bachelor says the women may cause all the trouble in life, but it’s woman who makes life worth the trouble.

Among these is a senior by the name of Benson, another fellow Red Wing in 1919, and a colored freshman by the name of David Car- Tegie. A large number of candidates are out for each practice and it is said that the lack of sufficient football equipment is keeping others from practice. y Very few!¢hanges will be made in the lipe-up. for Saturday, it being practically the. § as’ that which ted the Fosston game.

Colton, of the Pasadena, Oal., Post No. 13, American Legion, peered through the dark toward the post club rooms. ‘‘My God,"’ O'Leary cried. s “The boy scouts ‘are holding a meeting’ up there. And the caretakers must be In there, too.” , The . men ran .into the building, fought thetr way through the deadly ‘ammonia fumes, one in search of the ‘caretakers, the other upstairs to the clubrooms, .where the Pasadena boy ‘scouts were- holding thelr meeting. But the boy scouts, acting with the steadiness of nerve and calm discipline that are the restlt of their training, -already were marching out of the ‘bullding—and ¢carrying, four of ‘them ‘detailed for the work, a crippled boy ‘scout who bad been overcome: They ‘had even remembered to pull a pillow- ‘case over the stricken boy’s head, and ‘they carried him out to safety and revived him.

They carried both ‘women to safety. First ald treat- ment revived them. The two Legtonnalres also were resusci- tated. The post’s clubrooms are over an fce plant, and it was an ammonia tank in the plant which exploded. It was de- clared that if it had not been for the bravery of O'Leary and Colton fhe two women would have met death.

He Toads, endanger ‘the life of stock and mar the beauty and ‘lower the market value of the farm.. They can be prevented by increasing the ab- sorptive capacity of the soil by till- ing, protecting the surface from erosion by proper cultivation, and by conducting the surplus water from ugg "field at a low velocity. Gullies can be reclaimed by plowing-in and seeding. te' grass ‘or timber, or by building ' soil-saving dams that eheck erosion and cause the filling of the gully with silt. “ In checking’ gullying, the first thing is to stop it at the head. If possible, the ' water should be turned.into a natural water-course before it reaches the head of the ‘gully. In shallow gullies, a dam built close to the head will give a fill of sofl in a short time, In deeper gullies, a longer time is necessary according to the condition ‘and amount of washing. Brush and straw, firmly fastened down, make a” good -dam"“ for stopping erosion. In regions where timber and brush are plentifvl good results in filling gdllies have been obtained by the use of brush dams. In hill-side gullies where the flow of water is small the dams are commonly built of loose brush sometimes weighted down with logs. Where the flow is enough to overtop the dam, the brash can be heid down ‘by ‘crosspieces ‘and stakes. Simply dumping the brush into a gully will net give good results. Before beginning to reclaim a gully ‘with soil-saving dams,. the entire work ot reclamation should be planned. If only a part.of the work ‘s planned it may not fit into the complete re- clamation work which-may,be under- taken later. After the head dam is in place and erosion checked, a num- Der- of 10w, temporary dams can be used in a.wide, shallow depression ‘that will gradually fill. If the gully ends-in .the side of a ‘deep drainage channel, the lower end,must be Built up with a ;gh dam. - The higher the duios the fgwer Wil be required, but several Tow; dams are less costly than one high one and are 'more_easily constructed..

The total amount of premius paid in ‘to _various companies for fire pro- tection amounted to - $94,895.90, slightly more than half the amount of the los sustained. The national fire.loss for 1921 to- talled $485,000,000, a per capita loss of; $4.40 while in Bemidji the per capita loss was $20.77, @s against 49 cents in France and 33 cents in England. These facts in themselves are sufficient reason why Bemidji should do_all in its power to prevent Joss by fire since under the present circumstances the losses incurred have of course greatly increased the rates of protection. .The committee hopes to .interest every person in Bemidji in observing Fire Prevention Week as a clean-up, paint-up week.
