arrested in New York and returned to
Kansas a few weeks ago, will be re-

BAILEY GETS A LETTER.

Earl Bailey has received a letter
from Clarence Spencer a former Be-
midi boy but now of the Philippine
Islands. Clarence was a student in
the Bemidji schools until two years
ago when he left for the east and
worked in New York for some time.
At New York Clarence joined the
army and soon left for the Philip
pine Islands. In Bemidji Spencer
showed great deal of ability in the
pugilistic line and engaged in sew
eral friendly bouts with boy friends.
After leaving Bemidji he entered
into a wider field in this line and in
the army was given the chance to
develop. At present he is engaged in
a series Of battles which if he wins
will entitle him to the championship
of the Philippine Islands. He en-
closed in the letter a handful which
had been distributed. through out
Manila announcing bout which he
would have with Kid Greenburg of
the United States Eighth cavalry, at
the Tylai theater. Spencer is known
in the pugilisitc world as digger"
Spencer. Out Of eleven battles fought
in the ring he has placed to his rec
ord four wins and seven knockouts:

NELSON TALKS "H0RSES''
Addressed Audience of La Porte Far
mers Friday Morning Others
Spoke in the Afternoon.
PARTY Is IN BRAINERD TO-DAY

La Porte, Dec 21--The farmers
meeting held Friday in Woodman
hall was not so largely attended, es-
pecially in the morning, as it should
have been.
Prof a. E. Nelson, director of agri-
culture in the Bemidji High school.
was the first speaker, and occupied
the morning hour in speaking of
horses. His remarks were full of
good horse sense and his hearers
listened closely to every word he had
to say. Among other things he said
that stations should be animals with
big heads, wide between the eyes and
ears and not have too short a neck.
He also believed that stations should
be worked, and not allowed to stand
in the barn and become soft" as is
too often the case.
He emphasized the necessity of
having collars that were not too
wide, and that the names should be
adjusted at the top as we'll as at the
bottom. He strongly denounced the
use of sweat pads, and advocated the
use of hard collars, but have them
fit.
In warm weather the position of
the collar should be changed during
the noon hour while the horse is rest
ing so the shoulders can get cooled
off, and at night they should be bath
ed with cold salt water. This kind
of bathing is better than any spawn
cure or "quack" medicine that can
be bought.
In the afternoon the attendance
was larger and more satisfactory, the
time being occupied by Professor
McLeran on potato Growing" and
Miss Mary Bull on "Housework Sim
plifed.
The speakers left last evening for
Guthrie where they were billed to
speak, and from there they 90 to
Walker, where they hold meetings

Fergus Falls. Later, when asked
why he shot Mr.. Cling, he said he did

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 21.-With
poetry and prose the Germans are
rallying in a battle of wit and hui
NOR in answer to a satire on the Ger
maintained Turkish troops, written
by Captain George Steunenberg OF
the United States army, who is sta
toned at Fort George Wright, in
Spokane, and was formerly at Fort
Smelling, in Minnesota.
Captain Steunenberg, hailed as the
poet laureate of the army, recently
had the Kiplingesque verses publish
ed in the Army & Navy journal, call
ing forth note, with the Steunen-
berg name on the envelope, from
General Leonard Wood.
The first to enter the lists in OPP
position to the captain is Arthur Won
Pulaski of Spokane, formerly a Ger
man officer and at one time colonel
in the service of the sultan. After
declaring that the Turkish army is
no longer disciplined by German
methods, Won Pulaski designates the
Steunenberg verses as the penny
ante Sort He suggests that the cap
tain's literary talents might profit
ably be directed toward composing a
good marching song for the army.
Meanwhile, Steunenberg, being an
army officer, has said nothing, but
the world is having a good laugh
over his swinging verses.
And now Stanley Mayall, promi-
nent Spokane manufacturer, leaps
lightly into the saddle of Pegasus
with the following:
