High School Notes.

Principal Brown was so ill yester-
day as to be unable to attend school.
Mr.. Hayden addressed the students
in general assembly in connection
with WashingtOn's birthday. The I'M
DERIVING idea of his talk was the duty
that each one owes his country of
being good and true citizen. Mr..
Hayden's talks are always welcome.
Every student enjoys them.
The basketball girls are enjoying n
season of praise. Assistant Coach
Morrison says that the game at Mus
catine was the best played of any this
year. So far the girls have been vic
tOrious in every game, but all the re-
turn games are yet to be won. These
will be hard ones. The first will take
place March with Muscatine in the
high school gymnasium here.
Everyone regrets that Edison Stone
left school Friday. to return no more
as a student. Edison has obtained n
good position at the sash and do
works.
The seniors desire everyone in Rock
Island to remember that their class
play will be given in the assembly
room Feb. 26, and that it is going to
be one of the most pleasing amateur
productions of the kind ever present
ed in this city. The play in itself is a
catching little comedy in three acts,
dealing with Russian life, both peas
ant and nobility. The persons taking
part have worked hard for two
months to perfect their parts. Mrs.
Jay Garrison has the management
and direction of the affair. 1t is
worth the price of admission-25
cents-to hear the stein song as it is
sung in the shoemaker's cottage by
his workmen, and to see the peasants
arTayed in their picturesque cos
tunes. 1t adds a further interest to
outsiders to know that the scenery
two acts was made in the manual
training department by the senior
boys. Dress rehearsals will be held
every night this week in order that
on the final evening every detail may
be worked out to perfection and not
the slightest mistake mar the har-
mony of the play. Between acts.
Evangeline Casteel. pianist, and Guy
Munger, violinist, will entertain the
audience. Come to this entertainment
if you wish to pass and agreeable and
pleasant evening, or come in any case
and hear the latest proverbs.

A NEW ALARM
Telephone Fire Alarm System
Soon Effective in
Bemidji.

Bemidji's new fire alarm sys-
TEN will soon be perfected. The
big electric fire whistle pur-
chased some time ago has been
placed in position and was tested
for the first time yesterday after
noon. All the connections will
be made in a few days and the
new system promises to be a big
improvement over the old.
The whistle will be at the cleo.
trio light plant and will be con
nected with the telephone system
in such manner that when an
alarm is telephoned to centra
the placing of a stop in the switch
board will set off the electric
drop and sound the whistle. L
will permit of alarms being
turned in much more promptly
than under the old system. The
whistle is sufficiently shrill to b
heard in all parts of the city
while the present fire bell canno
be heard distance of FIVE blocks
from the city hall, when the WING
is in an opposing direction.

A NOn.StrenuOus Life.

No one can deny that Ameri-
cans of today are leading the
most strenuous lives of any race
that ever lived, but the question
is, when will the tide turn? His
tory shows that with every
nation, energetic, pushing, sue
.cessful generations are invariably
followed by slower, lazier ones.
Will the same be true of Ameri-
cans? Not if we keep up our
energy with golden grain belt
beer. Such a pure tonic is
needed to keep mans energy
from burning out with overwork
and worry. When tired out this
tonic will help to rest and refresh
you. Better keepa case at home.

Beltrami County Has Record Of
New Counties for Divorces

Judging from the mum Der Of

something about the atmosphere
in this vicinity that makes marri
age more of lottery in this sec

the new counties Of the state or
in many of the older ones.
The records at the clerk of
courts Office show that during
the year 1908 and up to the pres

divorces were granted in Bel
trami county. Besides these
several divorces we're applied for
which the court denied.
