The Guest Of Bemidii.

Governor A. O. Eberhart is in Be-
midi today as the guest of the city.
He came particularly to attend the
farmers picnic held here today, but
it is worthy of note that this is his
first trip into Northern Minnesota
since his nomination last week.
Governor Eberhart was nominated
by large plurality in the primary
having received approximately thir-
ty-eight per cent of the total first
choice vote. AS the nominee of the
Republican party the Pioneer sup
ports Mr.. Eberhart. It does it hon.
estly and above board, not having
to dodge the ghost of a prediction
switch.
AS the guest of the city, Governor
Eberhart is entitled to all the atten-
ton that is usually shown distin-
guished visitors; as the Republican
nominee, he will receive the con-
gratulations of the members of that
party. His visit at this time is pecu-
lsarly appropriate. The reception to-
night is not political meeting and
the governor hopes to meet every
business and professional man of Be-

The Football Spirit.

Perhaps it is the exhiliration of
the fall air, perhaps it is the excite
ment of seeing men in physical con-
test, perhaps it is the mob feeling
that comes to any group of people
when they are together; but from
whatever cause it arises, the fact re-
mains that football produces closer
class feeling than any other Ameri-
can sport. Baseball is it's nearest
competitor, but no baseball team has
yet been able to create the class,
school, college or university spirit
that has football.
Inherently the game itself is
rough. The plays are apt to cause
broken bones or worse. Each season
several deaths result although not
in as great a proportion to the num-
Der of players as many other sports.
But football is game based on dis
cip1ine; it developes thinking brain
that is able to be cool under trying
conditions; it is a game in which
the right of the individual is subor-
dinated to that of the eleven; it is a
game which takes grit and stamina
to play; in fact, it is game for men
and is one of the best men producing
sports we have today.
For those who sit in the b1eachers,
football developes spirit that makes
the rooters stand for the home team
even in the face of the bitterest of
defeats. No one who has heard the
5000 students of a great university
cheer the team as it walks off the
field in defeat can doubt for min
1,te that football developes the right
kind of spirit in the stands as well
as on the field. In victory, the spir-

FIRST PICTURE POST CARDS

In Nuremberg, Germany, they have
been making arrangements to cele-
brate the thirtieth anniversary of the
picture post card with a congress and
exposition. Unfortunately for their
plans, however, 1t has been discover

not made in Germany or sent from
Nuremberg, nor was 1t born in 1882.
as they had supposed. The distinction
of making and mailing the first is now
claimed by Leon Besnardeau, book
seller of Sille-le-Guillaume. near Con-
lie, department of Sarthe. France. In
1870, during the war with Prussia. he
printed pictures on postal cards he
was sending to clients. M. Besnar-
deau is still alive, and there are many
Of his old customers in France who

also at a distance of about five feet
on each side of this stovepipe-hole
there should be six-inch tile set in

the tile on the fire side about six
inches below the top of the wall.
This tile should slope upward 30
that on the opposite side of the parti-
ton it's mouth will be even with the

In the east end OF the fire-box oppo-

RICHNESS or THE SOY BEAN
Seeds When Ground Into Neal May Be
Substituted for Equal Amount
of LInsecd Oil.

One of the qualities of the soy bean
that commends it to the stock feeder
is It's protein richness. The Virginia
experiment station has found that the
seeds when ground into mea; may be
successfully substituted for equal
amounts of linseed meal in feeding
dairy cows.
The hay is also rich in protein, and
this is why it is extensively used In
eastern states for ensiling with corn,
as this combination will practically
produce a balanced ration. A com.
parison between an acre of green cut
flint corn and soy beans, at the Mas
sachusetts station, showed that the
beans produced nearly "a per cent
more protein than the corn. while the
acre of corn produced over "a per
cent more of carbohydrates and fat
than the soy beans.
While corn and soy bean silage con-
stitute balanced ration, 1t is not to
be inferred that grain is entirely un
necessary where the silage Is fed to
dairy cows. But 1t has been found
possible to reduce the grain ration
considerably under these conditions
and still maintain the milk flow Ac
cording to Prof w. A. Henry. silage
made of corn and soy beans is more
digestible than that made from corr
silage alone.

All Complimentary verbiage Is Ordered Cut Out

The army correspondence forms
date back to the days of the Colonial
forces of King George III. Letters be-
tween army men, when official in their
nature, use line after line OF compli-
mentary phraseology to put forward a
ten-word request. General Wood start
ed the pruning movement and when
he got through with 1t nothing was
left but the superscription "Sir" and
the signature of the writer outside the
message to be conveyed.
Along with the excess verbiage the
army has also discarded the elaborate
system of recording the business OF
the various branches of the service by
means of lengthy letters detailing
what might pass in the ordinary
course of the days work as business
conversations.
The shorter method is making a big
hit with the younger element IN the

Raising Native Lambs.

The farmer who will pay close at.
tention to his breeding stock and raise
native lambs of uniform size and
breed feed them intelligently and mar.
ket them at the right time can make
more profit from his flock than from
any other farm investment AS a rule,
the native" lambs sent to the mar
ket are so badly mixed, both as to
bred and feeding, that they are a tor.
ment to the buyer and of little profit
to the owner.
This is one of the reasons why the
western range lambs find great favor
In the big markets. They are more
uniform In size, as they are fed in
large fiocks and go TO market practic.
ally in the same condition. Only a
small portion of the native" lambs
that are sold in the eastern markets
can be called prime, and this fact II
entirely the fault of the farmer.

WELL THAT is BoTToMLEss

One Of the most curious and most
interesting natural wonders to be
found in Arizona is Montezuma well.
This strange lake is located about the
center of the state in somewhat
isolated community. All about 1t are
great quantities Of malapai rocks, for
this is most decidedly volcanic COM
munty. The well itself is some zoe
yards across, and as far as 1t has ever
been possible to determine it is bot
tomless. The water in the well is abb
solutely clear and pure. 1t maintains
certain level all the time, which is
unaffected by the dryness or wetness
of the season. The walls that risG
precipitously above these clear wa
tiers and reflect themselves in them
were at one time the homes of pop
ulous community. For this is the very
center of what was once the cliff,
dwellers' stronghold in Arizona.

platform to lead to- the edge of the
water and to cover this with bran. It
was predicted that the rat would eat
his way to the waters edge and then.
beholding what he thought to be sea
of bran, would dive into it. thus end
ing the romance of his life.
Many suggestions for electrocution
outfits have been sent in, but all OF
these are of such complicated design
and would cost so much to manufac-
ture that they have no value for our
purpose.
The sneeze' trap is simplest In
construction and least expensive of
all the models which have been sub
mitted. 1t consists of pasteboafd
tube two inches In diameter, lined
with cotton batting. A powder of cay
enne pepper and snuff is sprinkled on
the cotton and the tube placed over a
rat hole. The inventor said the rat
would sneeze himself to death when
he poked his head out of his hole"

LIGHTNING IN THE TROPICS

Thunderstorms never occur in the
Arctic regions. Nearer the equator
the more severe the. electric nantes
tations. In certain parts OF Central
Africa the average run of thunder
storms is $50 days year. yet there
are some very curious exceptions. In
Sumatra and Java. both very hot eli
mates, there are only go storms year
ly, and in Borneo only about so. The
gold coast of Africa has only about
60 year, which is less than occur
in Florida, though the latter country
is outside the tropics.
In Java there is a thunderstorm ev-
cry day for five months. Perhaps the
most astonishing fact in regard to
thunderstorms is that the island of
Mauritius, which is only $50 miles
east of Madagascar, has on an aver
age only one thunderstorm in so
years.
Yet In Madagascar the lightning is
more destructive than anywhere else
In the world, the annual number OF
deaths being more than 300.
