IS CHAMPION AT QU0ITs
A. G. Rankin, Temperance Lecturer
Meets All Comers-Has Written
Book Of Rules
DEFEATED EVELETH POLICEMEN

Another champion is the guest oil
Bemidji, and this time it is A. G.
Rankin, who is making whirlwind
temperance campaign in Bemidji
this week. Mr.. Rankin claims to be
the horseshoes and quoits champion
Of the United States. He has never
been defeated and challenges all
corners.
Recently while the lecturer was
at Eveleth he met Chief Finnigan
of the police department. Mr.. Ran
kin won by such large margin that
the game was not interesting. Fin
nigan was champion of the range.
The chief took four of the best men
Of his squad to beat the temperance
advocate. This made a contest of
four against one and again Mr.. Ran
kin was the victor. ...+
Mr.. Rankin is considered an au-
thority on the game and is the au-
thor of book of rules, entitled
"Horseshoes and Quoits.'' ...
In his introduction Mr.. Rankin
says;
"There is no authentic history as
to the origin of the game of pitch
ing quoits and horseshoes. That the
game is of ancient origin and dates
back for centuries is a wel-esta blish-
ed fact. Many famous men of history
were patrons of this heathful game.
"Horseshoes were soon substituted
for quoits because they were more
easily obtained and required less
preparation of the ground upon
which to play the game.
''The healthful exercise to be de-
rived from engaging in the pitching
of horseshoes or quoits is not sur
passed by any of the outdoor games
'The absence of violent exercise
in this game makes it possible for
men whose years forbid them en-
gaging in the games of baseball,
football or lawn tennis, to success
fully play the game of horseshoes
both for pleasure and physical pro-
fit. .-
with many other patrons Of the
game, I have long since felt the
want of set of standard rules
governing the game of horseshoes.
my object in publishing this
book is to systematic and popular
ize this splendid game by furnish
ing uniform set of rules"

Ten MILLION STARVING
Socialists Agitator Spoke Before
Small Audience In City Hall
Last Evening
STRONG ON JOKE STORIES

Speaking to a small audience last
EVENING" in the city hall Thomas W.
Lewis delivered a socialist lecture in
which he urged the united working
men of the world to strike and hold
together as the rich would be unable
to feed them selves and as result
would be forced to adopt the terms
of the working men, To emphasize
the relations between the rich and
poor, Lewis pictured starving
mothers with children clinging to
her dress while rich land lord ush-
cred them into a street when they
were unable to pay the rent. He also
pictured the contrast between the
working men and the capitalists in a
vivid manner. To right the conditions
which he claimed now existed he
urged parents to educate their chill
dren and as education meant social
ism the capitalists would soon be
over powered.
There are 100000 people in
the United States on the verge of
starvation today said Mr.. Lewis.
The greater portion Of these he ex-
planned are men who are toiling 10
hours day for some capitalist. Mr..
Lewis also endeavored to entertain
his audience with humorous stories
and poses to represent the capital
lists and the working men, and the
condition now existing in New York
City society. -,
