WILSON WINS TRACK MEET.
Mud Makes Going Heavy at North
western Contest.

Hays, Kan, MAJ 7.-Wilson high
school won the third annual North
western Kansas Olympic field and
track meet, held here under the au-
spices of the Western Kansas State
Normal. Owing to heavy rains which
fell a short time before the meet the
track was heavy and no records were
broken. The mud also caused the at
tendance to be lighter than a year ago.
Seven high schools of northwestern
Kansas took part in the meet, each
sending teams of about ten men. The
schools which participated were Stock
ton, Plainville, Ellis, WaKeeney, Rus
sell, Ellsworth and Wilson.

From the Poets Best-Little Bow
Blue.
BY EUGENE FIELD.
The little toy dog is covered with
dust,
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust,
And his musket moulds in his
hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new,
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Lit
tie Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't you go till I come" he
said,
"And don't you make any noise!'
So toddling off to his trundle-bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel
song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
On, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder as waiting these
long years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Bow
Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.

Don't Fail to Vote.

Two members of the present school |
board, Drs. Smith and Marcum, come
before the people of Bemidji for re-
election tonight. The Pioneer believ-
es that both should be returned to !
the board.
Bemidji has many thousands of
dollars tied up in school property. |
The board is the official custodian
of this property. 1t also looks to the
teachers and methods used to instruct
the coming generations in order that
they may develop to the highest type
of citizens. The men who serve on
the board must be of the best types
and better specimens could not be
found than the two doctors.
For six years, Drs. Marcum and
Smith have served on the board faith
fully. They are not politicians and
care only to serve the people. They
have served long enough to become
thoroughly acquainted with the rou-
tine of the board. Their business
makes it hard for them to serve the
public in any other capacity and as
they are willing to continue this SER
vice, they should be retained.
Women have the right to vote in
school affairs and this election will
be good opportunity for the ladies
to show how much strength the wom-
an suffrage movement has in Bemidji
A large ballot should be cast. The
doctors deserve reelection by vote
that shows that their services have
been appreciated. Also a large vote
will make it impossible for a dark
horse to steal the election by taking
a few of his friends to the polls and
having them vote for him.

Christmas DOn'tS.

Don't leave the cost mark on pres
ents.
Don't let Christmas giving deterio-
rate into trade.
Don't let money dominate your
Christmas giving.
Don't embarrass yourself by giving
more than you can afford.
Don't expect to receive as much as
you give. as the odds are on the dis
appointment
Don't acquire your Yuletide before
the fun Of Christmas actually begins
No Christmas is fulfilled when the eel
ebrant is filed full.
Don't be the first to tell child there
is no Santa Claus. If you have to lie
about it lie. and lie as attractively as
your education will permit
Don't eat your Christmas dinner in a
restaurant if you can find any old home
that you may eat it in, for Christ
mas dinner in home is worth two in
the bush.
Don't let your Christmas go by with
out giving some sort Of present to a
child. The excuse that you know no
children will not suffice. You can know
plenty of them between now and the
day of days
Don't decide to abstain from giving
just because you cannot afford eXpen-
sive presents. The thoughtfulness Of
your gift. the interest you take in
those to whom you give. are the prin-
cipal things. The intrinsic value Of
your gift counts very little.
Don't give things because they are
cheap and make a big show for the
money. AS rule, it is Il dangerous
thing to pick up lot of all sorts of
things at bargain sales for Christmas
presents. If you do there is always
the temptation to make inappropriate
gifts.

Sacrifice Is Spirit of Christmas.

A curious: thing comes to my mind
concerning which / have word to say.
and that is ,apropos of honesty, No one
has right to give away anything ex-
cept what may be in excess of the just
demands upon the income. The butch
er. the baker, the dry goods man. needs
his money as surely as does the enthu-
siastic woman eager to make pretty
gift or the lover to beStOw upon his
sweetheart what be knows is her
hearts desire. Successful Christmas
giving should mean self sacrifice. and
it is often greater sacrifice to deny
oneself the privilege OF expenditure
than 10 do just what one has in mind.
/ believe that from the nursery days
this theory should be inculcated. and.
as the coming 70 this world of our
blessed Lord was one great act of sac
rifice, so in planning for our Christmas
gifts each child in the family should
be encouraged TO something of self sac
