THE HOUSEHOLD

note is to exceed two pages. The
habit of turning and twisting from
the first page to the third or fourth
pages and then back to the second is
not to be commended. If note is to
be only two pages, it is allowable to
skip the second page, but not other
wise When words overflow a sheet
it is customary to use two sheets of
paper.
The best 1etter-writers always use
simple, cordial, unaffected words and
expressions. They avoid high-sound-
ing sentences and keep to the little,
plain words.
A good piece of advice was once
given by literary man to his sister:
"Write me fair, minded, hon
est hand, unvexed with desperate
b1ots or sku1king interlineations
Postcards are not for social use
Typewriter letters are only for bust
ness. In these letters the signature
is written by hand.
The address may be engraved in
Roman letters across the head of the
note-paper, or small monogram may
be used. The address, if written, is
placed toward the right. A letter has
the date at the top of the first page,
toward the right, but the date is usu-
ally written at the close in a brief
note. The signature should be writ
ten in full The date of the month
is usually in numerals, if the date of
the year follows In brief note, or
a note of invitation or reply, the date
Of the year is omitted, and the date
of the month may then be written
in full, thus: January fifteenth. MI

Notes and Our Writing.

It is important in underwriting to
provide ones self with good paper,
pens and ink This suggestion, at
the start, may seem obvious to many
persons, but the neglect of these
small details is shown very often in
correspondence. Plain white or cream
paper, rather thick in quality and un-
ruled, is in good taste. A double
sheet is used, and is folded once and
enclosed in an envelope to fit. Tt is
inexcusable to use half sheets Or
sheets torn from pad, or to use
very thin or transparent paper, or
paper with fancy or open-work Dor
dering. Pens should be broadnib-
bed, rather than pointed, and black
ink is the only ink allowable. It is
objectionable to write a note Or adj
dress an envelope in pencil.
In all letter-writing it is advisable
to avoid long preamble, or an ex-
PLANTATION as to the cause of writing,
1t is best to begin Immediately with
the subject. IF writing business note
it is desirable to make it concise.
Handwriting should be even, legible
and distinct, the letters we'll formed,
instead of careless and scraw1ing The
angular, vertical or small round let
tiers are equally in fashion. Words
must be written in straight lines
across the page, not in slanting, if
regular direction Words are not di-
vided from one line to the next.
There is always sufficient space on
note-paper to avoid this bad habit
The best fashion is to write straight
on from one page to the next if a

to write the year in full. In a letter

The 'Papaw' of The United States.

The 'Papaw' of The United States.
The two cultivated and six wild
species of Eastern North American
shrubs and small trees, to which the
name 'papaw' is commonly applied
by the Americans, are species of Ash
minia (natural order Anonaceae)
closely related to the sweet sop or
sugar apple of the tropics. The two
cultivated species bear attractive flow
ers and edible fruits One will grow
in the open in New York State. The
true papaw of the tropics, Carica Pa
paya, is not in any way related to the
aforementioned species. It is call
ed in the United States melon papaw'
for the sake Of distinction. Is grows
in the open only in South Florida;
but is frequently grown in conserva
tories north of the frost line.-Agri-

Likes Progressive Bemidji.

William Denning, formerly in the
hardware business at Grey Eagle,
but who recently disposed of his
interests at that place is in the city
to day looking over the prospects of
engaging in the same business here.
To a Pioneer reporter, Mr.. Denning
said, I have heard a great deal
about Bemidji and the excellent
trade facilities offered the Bemidji
merchants. . "
Bemidii at the present is getting
a good deal outside advertising and
from what I have seen of your town,
I do not believe the town over esti-
mated. In fact I find one of the
best towns in the state is Bemidji,
and in the northern part of the state
Bemidji is the best town have
visited"
Mr.. Denning is favorably i'm
pressed with Bemidji and may decide
to locate in Bemidji, the coming
metropolis of north centralM Minnesota.

There was very fair attendance
of firemen at the regular monthly
meeting of the department, which
was held at the fire rooms in the
city hall last evening.
Reports of the condition of the

Bemidji fremen have splendid
organization and that, financially,
the boys are in good shape.

INTERESTING BALL GAME
PLAYED ON LOCAL DIAMOND
The Walker and Bemidji Teams Play Good Game With
Final Score Of to 0 in Favor Of Bemdji..
Another Game Today.

The best exhibition of the Great
American Game ever seen in Bemidji
was pulled off at the local park
yesterday, when the home team won
from Walker by the narrow margin
of one to nothing. Both teams
showed up in fine form and it was
anybodys game till the last man
went down. The play was fast and
snappy, full of clever headwork and
errors were conspicuous by their
absence.
Chief" Emerson in the box for
Bemidji pitched star game. He
had endless variety of new ones for
the visitors to practice upon and
only five or six times did they make
connections with his twirlers with
enough persuasive power to force
the out field into action. But nine
men tapped the ball for first base
and eleven struck out. Roy handled
the home plate in his usual fine
manner and with the exception of
two or three errors which he did
not prove to be costly the support
from the field was all the battery
could ask for. Peterson came home
in the second on a hard drive made
by Emerson, the only man to cross
home plate during the entire game.

LIEUTENANT D0CKERY IS
TO CONTINUE RECRUITING
Adiutant General of Army So Decides
in Letter to Popular Army
Officer.

The Duluth News Tribune has the
following to say concerning Lieu
tenant c. H. Dockery, Jr., who is
we'll known in this city:
Lieutenant O. H. Dockery,
United States army recruiting officer,
received letter yesterday from the
adjutant general of the army, in
which he states that by directions of
the secretary of war, Lieutenant
Dockery will have to continue
recruiting duty for some time after
October l, although at that time the
lieutenant's term of duty will expire.
Lieutenant Dockery notified the
department some time ago that he
desired to be united with his old
regiment, which at this time, is in
Alaska. Owing to the excellent
work accomplished by Lieutenant
Dockery as recruiting officer, his
services are desired in this line.
To-day Lieutenant Dockery will
leave for Ashland, where he will ex-
anime several men for the service.
Tomorrow he will 20 to Hibbing
and Bemidji, where several more
men await examination.
July and August have been the
best months experienced by the
army recruiting officers. Out of ESQ
applicants who appeared during the
month of July, 29 were accepted.
During the present month more than
200 have applied and from this
number about 20 have been accepted.
This work by the recruiting
office is considered excellent when it
is considered that there is such
a scarcity of men for labor of all
kinds and the times are so prosper.
Gus. Although the army is in need
of more men than ever before, the
bars for admission into the service
are not lowered in the least, and the
difficult examinations remain the
same"
