Seven League Boots" of fairy book
fame have become true in that the

it remained for a clever German in
ventor to actually accomplish the
miracle of walking on the water.
walking on the water of the
Wan River, Germany, has become
very popular. In Germany they call
it water skating" for the skater or
walker sort of watts himself along
with the aid of his paddle. Attached
to his feet are two air tight pontoons.
1t appears very simple to the casual
observer of this water skating, but it
requires much skill to prevent being
suddenly overturned. Once the skat-
er becomes proficient, however, acct
dents are rare.

NO MORE LOCAL GAMES
High School Baseball Team to Play
The Remainder Of Games
Away From Home.
MEET WALKER TEAM. SATURDAY

Coach Carson Of the Bemidji High
school baseball team stated yester-
day that There y ltd be no more
High. school baseball games in this
city this season. The team is now
on firm financial basis and as the first
game did not receive good support
they will take no more chances on
running in debt.
The team will probably journey to
Walker next Saturday where they
will play the High school team from
that city. Only two more games will
be played this year as there are only
two more weeks of school. Grand
Rapids, the fastest team to be played
this year will probably be the last
game Both teams desire to gain all
the practice possible and both are
determined to win. It is probable
that many local students will ac-
company the team for this game as it
promises to be a most interesting
event.

(By REV. CHARLES CHANDLER.

In the face Of a continual down
pour of rain, Evangelist I. E. Honey
well attracted fair sized crowd to
the tabernacle last night to listen to
his message on "The Christian
Home" He drove his arguments into
the hearts of his listeners earnestly
and forcefully and said things that
some no doubt did not like to hear,
but were never the less true. 3.
He said in part: :>.z.z
+ 81 shall ask you to go with me to
the dearest and the most sacred spot
on earth to you and to me-a spot
around which cluster the sweetest
associations and the most precious
memories. I shall speak to you of
home.
"Home is among the hottest Of all
words. A true home is one of the
most sacred of all places. It is.a sane
tuary ;nto which one fees from the
worlds rerils and alarms. It is a
resting place, whittier at the close OF
the day the weary retire to gather
new strength for the battles and tolls

love learns its lessons; where life Il
schooled into discipline and strength;
where character is moulded.
