Y .GIRLS (Continued from page 1) . letters which have already been re- ceived are, extremely interesting, es- pecially -since they are written by . students . who perhaps have never been outside the city limits of the City of New York and hence they have a tendency to believe that New York Cify is the United States of America, or as one of their teachers, who if’a Minnesota girl, so happily expregies in a letter to Miss Nelson °when jshe says: “I know it will do theni good to realize that there is a United ‘States west of the Hudson.” ‘Not«all, however, are of the opin- ion t] it ew York is the only pldce of importance in the ‘world. One girl if*pdrticular has a longing for -the “west” and the “country”. Part of ‘her letter reads: “Qur teachef told us that Bemidji was a small, in- ‘teresting town in Minnesota. How I wish I could live there. I am sure it would be very inkeresting. Do you wish you could live in New York? New York is a very busy city. People go about all hours of the day. It is a very noisy and busy city, and I wish I could live in Bemidji for a change.” The signatures of the letters in- dicate that the writers are mostly of Italian or Jewish descent. As a matter of fact, the majority of the students of this large high school belong to either one or the other of the above named nationalities. The “little town of Bemidji” is receiving a lot of advertising among the students of this = magnificent metropolitan high school. Perhaps as soon as the above letters have been answered by the students of the Northern Minnesotat high school, telling about the many advantages enjoyed — pure, invigorating air, fishing, hunting, skiing, etc., such as never can be equalled by even New York, and a beautiful high school building with. excellent ‘teach- ers and equipment—perhaps more than one girl will wish she was a student here. on the shores of Lake Bemidji, “west of the Hudson”, rather than on the Hudson in a world metropolis. &Vociety OD PELLOWS LODGE TO * ENJOY SUPPER TONIGHT The regular business meeting of the I, 0.

Jim 'an’ Yaqul; are hittin’ it up lively down below. Tl sneak down there. You stay here] an’ keep about half an eye peeled up yonder, an’ keep the rest my way.” There seemed a lull in the battle. Gale ventured to stand high, and, screened behind choyas, he swept the three-quarter circle of lava with- his glass. In the distance he saw horses, but no riders. Below him, down the slope along the crater rim and the trall, the lava was bare of all except tufts of choya. Gale gathered assur- It Looked as If the Day Was Favoring His Side. ance. It looked as if the day was tavoring his side. Then Thorne, com- Ing partly to consciousness, engaged Gale’s cgre. The cavalryman. stirred and moaned, called for water, and then for Mercedes. Gale held him back with a strong hand, and present- Iy he was once more quiet, Suddenly harsh, prolonged yells brought Gale to his feet. Far down the trails where the crater rims closed in the deep fissure he saw moving forms. They were three in number. Two of them ran nimbly across the lava bridge. The third staggered far behind. It was Ladd. He appeared hard hit. He dragged at the heavy rifle, which he seemed unable to raise. The yells came from hlm He was calling the Yaqul. Gale’s heart stood still momentar- fly. Here, then, was the catastrophe! He hardly dared sweep that fissure with his glass. The two fleelng fi3- ures haited—turned to fire at Ladd. Gale recognized the foremost one— small, compact, gaudy—Rojas! The bandit’s arm was outstretched. Puffs of white smoke rose, and shots rapped out. When Ladd went down Rojas threw his gun aside and with a wild yell bounded over the lava. His com- panion ' followed. A tide of passion, first hot as fire, then cold as ice, rushed over Gale when he saw Rojas take the trail to- ward Mercedes' hiding-place. The little bandit appeared to have the sure-footedness of a mou'itu'n sheep. The Mexican following tvas not so sure or fast. He turned back. Gale heard the trenchant bark of the .405. Ladd was kneeling. He shot again— again, The retreating bandit seemed to run full into an invisible obstacle, then fell lax, Inert, lifeless. Rojas sped on unmindful of ‘the ‘spurts of dust about him. Yaqui, high above COPYRIGUT “TNC—> “HARPER AND SROTWERS. Liadd, was also 'firing at -the bandit. Then both rifles were emptied. Rojas turned at a high break in the trail. He shook a defiant hand, and his exx ulting - yell “pealed - faintly. ‘to Gale's ‘ears. vAbout him there was something desBerate, magnificent. /Then he clam- bered dowii: the trail. Ladd. dropped the. ,405, nnd rlsmg gun In-hand, he staggered toward the bridge.of lava. Before he had crossed it Yaqui came bounding down the slope, and in one. splendid leap he cleared the fissure.. He ran beyond the trail and disappeared on the lava above. Rojas had not seen this sud- den, darting move of the Indian. Gale wondered, fearfully, what had become of Lash. Presently, when Rojas came out of the eracks and ruts of lava there might be a chance of disabling him by a iong shot. His progress was now slow. But he was making straiz.t for Mercedes’ hiding-' Mace. What was it leading him there —an eagle eye, or hate, or Instinct? ' THE BlNilDJI DAII-Y l’lONm iders of the Purple S¢g¢. ‘WitdFire. Etc. mu.shaflono s ltwinnyni be no turning back for him on that trail? - Ladd was slow, heavy, stag- gering on the trail; but he was re- lentless. ' Only death could stop the ranger now. Surely Rojas must have known thgt when he chose the trail. From :time to time Gale caught glimpses of Yaqui's dark figure steal- ing along the hmm- rim of the crater. He was making'! lar a point above the bandit. bl Ladd staggered zlong the trail; times he crawled. The Yaqui galned he might have had wings; he leaped from jagged crust to jagged crust; his sure-footedness was a wonderful thing. But for Gale the macvel of that endless period of watching was the purpose of the bandit Rojas. He had now no weapon. Gale's glass made this fact plain. There was death be- hind him, death below him, death be- fore him, and though he could not have known it, death above him. He never faltered—never made a misstep upon the narrow, flinty trail. When he reached the lower end of the level ledge Gale's poignant doubt .became a certainty. Rojas had seen Mercedes. It was incredible;, yet Gale believed it. Then, his heart .clamped as in an icy vise, Gale threw forward the Reming- ton, and sinking on one knee, began to shoot. He emptied the magazine. Puffs of dust near Rojas did not even make him turn.

FARM POPULATION BY SEX AND AGE IN 1920 (Continued from page 1) 21 years of age and over. The cor- responding percentages for the en- tire population of the United States were 21.7, 20.7, and 57.6, respecti- vely. Thus the farm population in- cludes a relatively large proportion of persons under the age of 21 and a relatively small propoition of per- sons 21 years of age and over. This difference in age distribution is due in a large part to the fact that the majority of persons who leave the farm to take up their residence élse- | where have recached or passed the age of 21. Moreover, the foreign- born population, which is found main- ly in the cities, consiste in a large part of persons past the age of 21. The largest proportions of children and ‘youth in the farm population are shown for the Southern states and the lowest for.the New England siztes, New York, New Jersey and California. ) 'Minnesota’s farm . populition of 897,181 consists of 486,048 males and 411,133 females.

Wilcox of Bemidji was a caller at the sanitorium last week. A party was given to the patients of the sanitorium in the evening of Armistice ' Day. Games were play- ed and light refreshments served. The small son of R. J. Workman, of Puposky, was brought to the sani- torium to have his leg set, which was broken when he fell out of a tree.
