BRAINERD TEAM CLAIMS
CHAMPIONSHIP "BUNCA"
Brainerd High School Football Eleven
Has Made Splendid Record
Handed Bemidji Defeat

The Br ainerd high school football
ball team claims the championship
of north Central Minnesota. They
have played six games this season
without suffering defeat. Twice have
they defeated the Aitkin team, twice
vanquished Little Falls, beaten Be-
midi once and tied with the St.
Cloud team with a score of 0 to O.
St. Cloud will play return game in
this city Thanksgiving. The Brain
erd team would consider a PROPOSE
ton foraa game with one of the Du
luth or twin city high school teams.
|-Brainerd Tribune.
The Brainerd team may appear to
be the champion high school foot
ball team, but there are other teams
in this neck o. the woods" which
are just as good.
While the Bemidji boys have said
but little of the game which they
lost at Brainerd, it is known that
they were given pretty rotten
deal down there. Parties who saw
the game claim that the Brainerd
boys were allowed to back through
the crowd of local enthusiasts on a
forward pass, the crowd hindering
the Bemidji tackle from landing the
man with the ball.
Efforts have been made to secure
a return game to be played here
with Brainerd, but all overtures to
the Crow Wing county champions
have been of no avail.
Local people believe that Bemidji
high school team, in its present con.
dition, can hold it's own with any
team in northern Minnesota.
In their game against Grand
Rapids, last Saturday, they played
all around the Rapids" bunch.
The boys have tried to arrange
for at least one more game before
the season closes, but the East Grand
Forks team has refused to play here,
as has also Brainerd and Grand
Rapids. The Fosston team has dis.
banded, so it is not likely that there
will be- any more high school foot.
ball games this year for Bemidji.

IDEpARTM ENTS COULD BE
UNITED, WITH PROFIT
/ Forestry and Game and Fish Divisions
Of State Government May Be
Consolidated.

A telegram from St. Paul, pub.
lished in the Duluth News-Tribune,
intimates that there is proposition
on foot to consolidate the State
Game and Fish department and the
forestry department.
There is no. doubt but that the
two departments could be conducted
in unison, with a saving to the
state, and certainly with more
effectiveness, especially in the matter
of preventing fires and also in
extinguishing fires which have been
started. z.
Many of the game wardens who
are employed in the north half of the
state are experienced cruisers and
timber men and are at home at all
times in the woods.
The telegram referred to is as fol.
lows:
One of the most far-reaching
changes proposed in the govern.
mental affairs of the state recently
is that of consolidating the forestry
commissioners department with
that of the state game and fish com
mission, with a view to improving
the service in the former department
and at the same time accomplishing
the desired results at great saving
compared to what it would cost
otherwise.
In many states these two depart.
ments are combined and the results
are said to be very satisfactory, both
from financial and practical stand
point.
The present appropriation for
the forestry commission permits of
no field workers. The enforcement
of the laws against starting forest
fires is entrusted to the village
presidents and town supervisors.
Very few of these men do much
active work. The fish and game
commission has many paid deputies
in the constant employ of the
board. They make reports every
day and have been very effective
in checking illegal hunting and
fishing.
Officials of the fish and game
commission say that while their
deputies are ranging the woods
hunting for men with deer meat
out of season, they can at the same
time use their eyes for violations
of the forestry laws. Preventive
work in the forests is badly needed
and various state officers say that
it can best be accomplished by
the consolidation of these boards. -

Got Two Fine Deer.

Among the successful hunting
parties which have returned to the
city was that headed by E. E.
Mcdonald, which included DR..
Howard Lancaster of St. Paul, and
his son, who were out for week.
This party hunted on Macs"
farm, near Fowlds, which is one of
the best hunting grounds of the
state.
Both the doctor and his son were
successful in bringing down a deer
and they were very proud of their
success in getting what they came
after. The doctor and his son
returned to their home at St. Paul
yesterday noon and took their deer
with them.

WOMEN AND LEGISLATORS.
(Des Moines Tribune)

/ NLCS 4hOlliCS IIluuIlcJ
| Whenever one wants to solicit mem
/ bers of the Legislature for business
lswhy is it they always put a good
| looking girl or fascinating widow on
| the job! Because they know the aver
age legislator is susceptible and easy"
/ They know he will succumb to the
smiles and charms of pretty woman
and buy something he doesn't want
They know that in match between q
handsome girl and a fat pocketbook
the girl will win with hands down
every time.
To such an extent did pretty girls
and fascinating widows dominate the
legislature several years ago that the
wives Of members held indignation
meetings and protested against such
a condition Of affairs, and many
wives would not consent to husbands
coming to Des Moines as legislators
unless they came with them and re-
manned during the entire session. If
our memory serves us Alright the
wives of large number of members
presented document to the legisla-
ture one session protesting against the
bold and insolent conduct Of horde
OI women WHO constantly ABOUT
the senate and house. Since that time
there has been marked improve
ment in conditions.
We have seen the day when over
forty young women held positions as
committee clerks in the Iowa legisla-
ture, each drawing s21 a week, and
not one of them working over an hour
any day and not at all five hours out Of
the seven. 1t was a clear steal. In
almost every case the young woman
secured her position as a special favor
and not because her services We're
needed. And many young women have
come to Des Moines from country
places to fill these positions who re-
turned home after the legislature adj
journed with different ideas of life
than when they came to the city, and
knowledge that did them no good.
Hanging about legislative halls is
not good occupation for a woman.
nor is a position in any capacity in
legislature a desirable place for
young girl unless she is chaperoned.
Not that the legislators are worse than
other men, or because they are even
naughty at all. but girl is better off
where temptations and excitement are
not so common.
