TWO NYMORE HOUSES BURN
Tree Aids Flames to Spread Which
Put Out With Bemidji Help.

Two houses were completely de-
stroyed by fire in Nymore shortly af-
ter o5clock yesterday afternoon
The structures were the McCutheon
and Winter houses, the former occu-
pied by Thomas McCutheon himself
and the other by Henry Reinke, an
employe at the Bemidji mill. The
cause of the fire is unknown. 1t
started on the interior of the Nc
Cutheon cottage and burned rapidly.
A call was sent in for the Bemidji
department and the hose wagon re-
sponded in quick time. The flames
spread to a tree between the two
houses and then ignited the Winters
place. Little of the furniture in the
McCutheon home was saved but sew
eral places were hustled out of the
Reinke house. Both houses were in
sured.

TO ENFORCE LIQUOR LAWS
Council Turns Down One Request for
Transfer and Decides to Investi-
gate all Applications.
TAKE ACTION ON PAVING WORK

Rigid investigation is to be made
OF all applicants for liquor license
transfers or applications for new Ii.
censes from now on by the Bemidji
council.
This decision was arrived at when
LaChapelle & Kramer sought tc
transfer their license to AL Hueston
This application came up at the reg
ular meeting of the council Monday
evening. There was free discussion
of the points involved and the trans
fer finally was turned down, to 6
Smart, Crippen and Brown voting in
Iavor Of the transfer.
City Attorney P J. Russell advis-
es against granting the transfer.
Following this action it was decid-
ed that all persons making liquor
applications should undergo a rigiC
Investigation and that licenses be
placed in the hands OF only respon.
slDle men. An Investigating commit
tee was named as follows: Klein
Bailey and Smart
The council voted to advertise. fol
the construction of storm sewers and
the paving with cement of eleven
blocks. The sewer bids are to be in
tive weeks, the bids being opened al
the council meeting Of July II, while
the paving bids will go over until the
week following, July "a.
1t is believed that under this ar
rangement the actual laying of the
pavement will begin not later than
the first of August which will give
the contractors, if a large enough
crew is employed, time to get all the
pavement down before there is any
danger of frost.
The council passed the usual
monthly pay roll and received the
usual reports.

Tho Comma.

The point on which most writer's
are at odds with the compositor is the
comma. He is too fond Of this par
ticular punctuation point. he takes
q delight in breaking up the flow of a
sentence with his artificial pauses.
We all say, why then did you do it?'
in .one breath. 1t Is the compositor
who says. why. then. did you do it?''
1t is possible to be too hard on the
comma. 1t has its undeniable uses.
Edward Clodd in his memoir OF Grant
Allen tells the story Of compositor
who dissented very strongly from that
writer's moral philosophy and had to
set up" an interview with Allen in
which the sentence occurred, HE is
happily married" he salved his con-
science by printing it HE is. happily.

Must Advertise Delights.

AN advertising campaign has to
be conducted through Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin, yes even in Minnesota.
Remember that any commodity even
including gold and salvation, has to
be disposed of by advertisement or
the creation of a want.
Il have examined the air among
the pines on Star Island in Cass
Lake, and l found that it is almost
as pure as the air is reported to be
on high mountain tops. If the aver
age American was half as good a
business man as the average Euro
pean, each village and city in whole
Northern Minnesota would have had
at least a fringe of trees, left from
the primeval forests.
Natural Beauty Greatest Asset.
"No city will retain it's wealth and
intelligent inhabitance except it is
beautifully situated, or it has been
built along artistic lines. The north
ern half of Grand Forks city would
today have been worth a million dol
lars more, if reasonable building re-

Could Induce Capitalists to Come.

"A majority Of the small cities of
Germany own tracts of timber, and
great many Of them are absolutely
free from taxation, all expenses be-
ing paid out of the revenue derived
from the cutting off the matured
timber, and renting large tracts, for
villas. sanitariums, and hotels
If this timber was set aside it
would be the only piece of virgin
timber left in the Mississippi Valley,
and if the Commercial Club would
send an expert to Colorado Springs,
and to other great health resorts to
interview capitalists who each year
put millions in summer hotels, it is
my belief that you would in a short
time, induce men with money and
experience to invest in your town,
and in its neighborhood And if you
only could get one-third as many
visitors to Bemidji each year as Col
Orado Springs has each season, you
would have $4,000 visitors in Be-
midi through the year.

His Letter in Full.

II am what we call globe trOt-
ter, having Travelled extensively in
my own country, besides visiting al
most every nook and corner both in
Europe as we'll as in Asia, and in all
the places | have visited | have never
seen more beautiful sheet Of water,
with the possible exception of Lake
LuZerne than Lake Bernidji and if
you can keep its setting in the vir-
gin pine, you will have an asset,
which in the future will not only
bring you reputation from all over
the country as one of the beauty
spots of the continent but it will
bring you wealth. 1t is my belief
that it would pay Bemidji to bond
itself to the limit to raise money to
buy this tract of pine.
Il spent last winter in Los An
geles, and then realized more than
ever before that the average man is
willing to spend cents for salvation,
dollars for good health, and hum
dreds for having good time, and
are catering to the pleasure loving

people, and so successfully that hun

General Logan corps has met an

Weidman. One of the last public
gatherings she ever attended was a
corps meeting. She was ever faith
full and loyal to the best interest of
the Woman's Relief corps. Our
country's emblem, a beautiful silk
flag, was placed on her silent breast
as she had requested long ago should
be done, and she was borne to her
last resting place by the comrades OF

which for IA years she had served so
faithfully in fraternity, charity and
loyalty. A. M.

USES DYNAMITE TO
INCREASE FRUIT YIELD

James Woke has received let

extols the virtue of dynamite In
growing fruit. The letter follows:
1T may be a surprise to you to
learn that l have been using dyna-
mite for planting trees for a num-
Der of years; in fact, have some
shade trees planted eighteen or
twenty years ago by the use of dyna-
mite. They are the finest trees that
/ have ever seen grown for their
age. In the planting of peach trees
l gained two years in six; in other
words, | got as much fruit from a
tree planted with dynamite at four
years old as we usually get at six
years old.
"I not only plant them with dyna-
mite, but where a tree is failing and
seems to be on the decline I start 1t
off to growing again by firing
charges from three to ten feet apart.
Nothing seems to tickle the earth
SO much as planting watermelons
after explosion Of dynamite from
three to four feet under ground. I
plant them twenty feet apart each
way. Fertilize heavily and the wines
bear until frost.
