SWEDBACK TO USE STICkERS

Through circumstance over which
I had no control, some of the petit
tons I had sent out to be signed in
order to permit my name to 20 upon
the ballot, did not reach me ia
time, and as a result my name is
left out from the official compilation
of candidates. But inasmuch as
am in receipt constantly of urgent
support and solicitation to run, from
different sections of the county, and
further that my failure to appear
upon the ballot with the rest of the
candidates was not due to the lack of
signers, but because one or two petit
tons did not arrive in time to be
filed Tuesday Oct. 10, feel it would
be a disappointment to my friend
to withdraw at this time hence I
have decided to make the run with
,stickers, and feel confident that my
friends will agree with me in my
decision and will heartily support
me in my campaign. While I may
be asking considerable of the voters
in this county and this city to
write my name on the ballot for
Treasurer Cor use sticker) besides
marking an x: yet I think l have a
sufficient number of friends who will
be pleased to go to this extra trouble
in order to see me elected Treasurer
of Beltrami Co.

DIVIDING a Lono Serm on.

DR.. Samuel Buell. Of the last half of
the eighteenth century. who used to
preach two or three hours. like Isaac
Barrows. was ingenious in OBTAINING
his congregation. On one occasion, aft
er preaching nearly two hours-as long
as he could feel secure in the presence
Of all his hearers-he remarked that
he was done preaching to sinners and
that they were at liberty to go; the
rest of his discourse would be ad-
dressed to good people.
A gentleman who once went to hear
him stated that when the hourglass
was nearly ready to be turned a Sec
ond time from the commencement of
his sermon he said, much to the relief
Of the person who related it, "Once
more" After going on some eight or
ten minutes longer he said, ITO con-
clude." and after another about equal
interval he said. ''Lastly."'
The gentleman added that he expect
ed every moment to hear him say "Ev-
erlastingly."

Too Rich For His Pocket.

After the war with Spain a party of
Americans. including Colonel Hecker
OF Detroit. went to Cuba on a tour Of
inspection. They had with them a
negro messenger named Frank. One
day Frank got into a place where they
sell ices and cakes on the Prado. in
Havana. and bought plate of ice
cream. That was 20 cents. The wait
err handed around some cakes. Frank
took few. The cakes were passed
for second and a third time. On
each occasion Frank helped himself
literally. Then he called for his check.
1t was so. American. Colonel Heck
err and some friends. who were at an
adjoining table. heard Frank yell.

the colonel

Frank. "Why didn't you stop me-:

FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY.

If it can be proven that the
Canadian Railroad company is to
blame for the loss of nearly two
score of human lives and the burn
ing of hundreds of domestic animals
and the destruction of two towns and
S5,0O0,000 worth of property, it
should be compelled to make such
reparation as can be made by money
settlements.
Were the evidence less convincing,
the people of this country might be
less hasty in thrusting upon Canada
the blame for one of the greatest,
yet unnecessary, disasters in the
history of the state.
AS matter of fact it apparently
is the railroad companies who are to
blame and the fact that the
Canadian Northern faces damage
suits as result of the fires in the
northern part of Beltrami county is
merely incidental to the great gener-
al responsibility involved.
If it is crime for an individual
to take human life, to commit arson,
to destroy homes and all of the heart.

Perhaps the most curious remedy for

crossed to Belgium in 1912. Cinnamon,
coriander. anise, ambergris, musk and
sugar were to be made up into long
tubes for her to MUNICH on the voyage;

Bemidji's White Slavery.

A case of white slavery" has
been unearthed at Bemidji. The
victim is a young girl of thirteen
years and her british master is a
man of thirty.seven. The extreme
penalty in cases of this kind is thirty
years and the Headlight sincerely
hopes that the guilty man in the
case, will get the full limit of the
law. Crimes of this kind are far
too common and no sympathy
should be extended to any wretch
found guilty of the %ruination of a
young girls life. - Pine River

COMMENCEMENT WEEK
A Grand SuCCeSS-EXCellent Pro.
gram Given

Alma has passed through her TWEEN
ty-third commencement and in many
respects it has been one of the most
notable of her graduation weeks. In
point of attendance upon the various
functions both by students, alumni,
and visitors from outside the past
week has been one OF the very best
in the history of the college
The exercises of the week were
begun when the farewell communion
was held in the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning. A large number of
students and faculty members were
present at this memorable function
which was conducted by Rev. H. L.
Grain. In the evening of the same
day Dr. Bruske preached the bac-
calaureate sermon to the graduating
classes of the various departments.
Another pleasing and helpful fea-
ture of the Sunday program was the
address to the Christian associations
by Rev. II. G. Gaunt, 'O6. Of
Wheaton, Mimi Mr.. Gaunt's address
was a masterful appeal to the stu
dent body OF the College.

exercises when the athletic emblems

ulty was treated to generous
amount of jokes and jests as usual
which always scores heavily with the
student body and town folks. AS
usual the chapel was crowded for
this big event.
1t was one of the best classes in
the history of the commercial depart
ment that was graduated Monday
night and the speaker of the evening
was one we'll chosen for so note
worthy an occasion. Every one
knows the ability and earnestness of
the Hon. Kelly S. Scarf as a plat
form speaker and he was at his best
on this occasion.
The idea of play festival on the
lawn in front OF Wright Hall as the
graduating exercises of the Kinder
garten Training department was orr
ginal and pleasing. The ability and
grace of the young ladies in execut-
ing the various games and drills
shows the amount of time that has
been spent conscientiously upon that
part of their work. These exercises
were the beginning of a busy day on
Tuesday.
The graduating recital of Miss
Hazel Bahlke on the afternoon of the
same day was up to the standard or
exceeded other recitals she has given
during her musical course at the col
lege.

School DAYS for Young Folk Tomorrow

Superintendent Phillips is hopeful that
in this goodly city 10000 school children
will present themselves for enrolment
this month. No child of school age will
be turned away because o flack of seat
ing space The trouble does not so much
relate to school accommodations, which
are none too ample, as 1t does to parents
that fail to compel every child to attend
school. The school census just taken
shows that the children of school age in
this city number $685. AT the best
therefore only every other child In the
city will be enrolled in the public schools.
This is not a desirable condition in the
largest and most prosperous city in the
state, and if statewide compulsory educa-
ton be at present impracticable, certain
ly it is not in the states larger cities. and
the legislature should provide for COM
pulsory education In those cities that de-
sire It.
In the state outside of the cities about
one child In every three is enrolled in
the public schools, and this immense dis
crepancy will alone account for the
states Forthcoming percentage of Hitter
acy. Col. Emmett O'Neal is in earnest
in demanding better conditions of com
mon school education In this state, and
if he can put every other child in school,
instead of one in every three, he will
have accomplished very much for the
states good.
Many a young hopeful will, however,
take up school tasks tomorrow well laden
with books. These columns of young folk
all striving to acquire the three RS is
always an inspiring sight, and the in
dications are that the new school year
will be opened auspiciously. Nor will the
efforts of the school children of tomor-
row be confined to the three RS, for the
modern city schools teach first and last
almost everything from cooking to the
running of bank.

More corn bread is eaten each year, and
perhaps the time is fast coming when
corn and cottonseed flours will between
them wholly supplant wheat flour.
Either is as delicious, and one at least
is more nutritious.
Comparatively little corn is exported
and surely this country cannot starve
when it has 165 bushels-of corn per cap
tia to fall back upon. The consumption of
a corn crop has never been accurately
explained in facts and figures. and per-
haps never will be. but none of it is
consumed as fuel or thrown away, and
every bushel goes to satisfy some need.
The great crop will soon be ready for dis
tribution, and the most comfortable
feature of the crop is the fact that the
south has grown vast number of BUSH
els-has grown in very truth nearly all
it will consume until another crop is
made The south is fast finding out how
to make two ears grow where one grew

Three Million Bushels OF Corn

The drought which once threatened to
reduce the corn crop disappeared before
advancing rainfalls a month ago, and
now the corn belt stands to produce a
5000. 600, 900 bushel crop. The mind of man
can scarcely grasp a crop of that size
a crop that is equal to 165 bushels for
every man, woman and child in the coun-
try, or about half bushel day of an
excellent food product.
No damaging frost in the corn-grow-
ing states has been reported, and in 10
days moro the entire crop will be out
of harms way. And surely a 5000, 900, 900
bushel crop should in places and spots
operate to lessen the cost of living.
Much of it is not, it is true, sent to mar
ket in the form in which it is harvested.
A great deal of it is fed to hogs and cat
tie, some of It is turned into whisky ant
some into breakfast foods. In one way Oh
another nearly all of the unprecedented
crop becomes, however, directly or in
directly food for men or useful beasts
