AS a Summer Resort.

Too little attention is paid to Be-
midi as a summer resort. The city
has a great development field ahead
of it along that line and the lake can
be turned into a great asset.
If Bemidji and Irvine lakes were
ten or fifteen miles away, every Be-
midi family that could possibly af-
ford it would have a summer cottage
on the lake and the wives and chill
dren would spend several weeks there
each summer. AS it is, probably less
than thirty per cent of Bemidji peo-
pie have ever walked from Dick Por-
ter's cottage to Rocky Point.
Over in North Dakota, where peo-
pie have to go many miles to their:
watering resorts, -Bemidji lake has
a great reputation. It is noted for it's
clear and clean water, it's delightfully."-
smooth, sandy beaches, it's easy
shore line which makes it possible to
wade out 500 or 600 feet when
bathing, it's good fishing, and it's
picturesque scenery. It is noted as
being a. lake safe for children where
no drownings occur. Bemidji lake
is an ideal summer lake and Irvine
has not been touched. .#> y
A few years ago it was full
days work to get an automobile
from Grand Forks to Bemidji and it
could not be done at all if the roads
were muddy. To come by train took
many hours. Last week, an automo-
bile came here from Crookston in six.

Brigands calling themselves ''patriots'' ravaged the country, killed all men who would not pay tribute. and took the woman as captives. For these band of bandits, revolution was but an excuse for loot and pillage. Most infamous of them all was Emiliano Zapata, who proudly took unto him self the title, "El Atila del Sur,"- the Attila of the Soutf-and who has fully lived up to the name. Zapata's footing operations have extended three States in southern Mexico, and have extended to within a dozen miles of Mexico City License, outrages on defenseless women and children, and nameless horrors, attended the arrival of Zapata's forces In town or vfl- age- Zapata began life as a bandit, was arrested by officers of Diaz. and was placed in the army under the convict conscript system fostered by Diaz.

The Madero revolution gave Zapata the opportunity for brfgandage on a large scale, and he was quick to take advantage Of it. At the head of a thousand men he ravaged the sur rounding country. and laid waste scores of towns and villages.
 When MRdero triumphed, Za4 ata was asked to disband his army, and consented to do soon payment Of a good round sum by the government This bribe was given, under the guise of payment of Zapata's troops, but the money never reached the men. A second, third, even a fourth time, the Madero government paid bribes to Zapata, on his agreement to quit the field, but each time he immediately resumed his activities. Force was then tried, but in several engagements between Zapata's men and federal troops the latter were worsted. The career of Zapata has been duplicated on g smaller scale by other bandit leaders in various sections of Mexico. and the government has found itself unable to cope with the outlaws,
