ford. This often comes about from
selecting a lot in a high-pTiced neigh
borhood. Then a man feels under
obligation to build house in keeping
with the street and with the ideas Of
his neighbors. He cannot go against
popular opinion without losing caste
1t is much better to move into anoth
er part Of the town than to attempt It,
But a little house like this, for in
stance. is within the means of every
ambitious man. and, if properly fur
nished and kept in good repair, it may
be made more attractive than some OF
the larger houses on the wide street.
l do not mean that a person should go
into a part of the town where prop
erty is neglected; but there are many
side streets leading off from main
residence avenues that are more de-
sirable for homes than the main
streets themselves.
The stairway in this little house
combines a good deal in little space
Besides leading both upstairs and
down, it gives a grade entrance to
the cellar, a side entrance to the
kitchen, and 1t takes up very little
room
Downstairs the main feature is the
dining room, which is large enough to
make a comfortable sitting room; and
it is especially attractive on account
of the three windows and the CRATE.
This little house is only 22 feet wide
by SO feet long, without measuring
the porch. A 22-foot house can be
comfortably placed on q 80 or 3J-foot

Fought to Death in Mine

Half mile underground, in a gal
lery of a coal mine at Bethune,
France, three miners, with their picks,
suddenly attacked a fourth, against
whom they had a grudge. The man
fought desperately killing one and
wounding another before he himself
was killed. Other miners sounded
the alarm gong of the mine, and the
murderers were arrested.

What Red Cross Seals Do

Every Red Cross Christmas Seal
that is sold is a real bullet in the
fight against tuberculosis. These
seals last year helped to support
thousands of needy tuberculosis pa
tents and to give them chance for
life. They provided for many visiting
nurses, whose hundreds of thousands
visits brought instruction and cheer
to numerous patients. They helped
maintain dispensares in scores of cit
les from the Atlantic to the Pac-
fiic where thousands of consumptive
patients received free treatment, aid
means to purchase millions of copies
of circulars, pamphlets and other
literature with which the public has
been educated about tuberculosis.
They have established and helped to
maintain more than $50 open-air
schools for children who needed OPP
en- air treatment. These are just a
few of the ways in which the $780,
600 received last year was expended.
This year $1,O0O,OOO is needed. Sure
ly every one can help by buying at
least ten seals.

TWO HARBoRs COMING
Team From Head of Lakes To Play

Are Out for Honors
NEXT GAME NEW YEARS NIGHT

Members of the Athletic Club
Basketball team have two more hard
games to play during the month Of
January that promise to be equally
as good as the games to be played
with the Superior Y. M. E. A. quint
January 5 and 16 were set as the
dates for the games to be played
here. Owing to the fact that the ex-
penses are exceptionally heavy when
bringing a team from a city over
100 miles it is necessary to play two
games to meet all expenses.
This contest will be the first time
Bemidji has ever met Two Harbors'
team on, the athletic field although
both cities are credited with turn
ing out some of the best athletes in
the north half of the state.
Arrangements may be made for a
trip to Duluth, Superior, Two Har-
bors and several cities on the range
for the Bemidji team if the athletes
comprising this organization can
make arran gements with their en-
ployers. ..E.-1 <.... ~.

RANGERS FIGHT TWOFIRES.

Difficulty in Stopping Flame In
Pennington County
NARROWLY ESCAPE

While during the hot months Of
summer Fire Ranger u. p Johnson,
IF this city has been called upon to
fight only a few fires Of any i'm
Dortance, the last few days have
brought him much work.
Two fires in Pennington county,
near the 500 right-of-way have given
trouble during the last few days. One
was caused by a man who in burning
slashings had left his fire unattended
and it gained such Roadway that as
Stance had to be called in putting
it out.
The other had burned over more
than sixty acres when Mr.. Johnson
and his deputies were able to stop it,
just in time to prevent it's entering
a wealthy meadow, in which hundreds
of dollars Of hay was stacked.
According to Mr.. Johnson, fires
this year have been stopped before
gaining such Roadway that heavy
losses we're the result and as conse-
quence the fire loss this year will be
much smaller than that Of former
years. -

boy who recently stole 1882 from

to having taken the money and was

to the Red Wing Training school.
Deputy Sheriff Cahill said that he
did not know whether the lad would
be taken to Red Wing this evening or

gave young Rogers some advice and
told him that if he behaved himself
that his stay in Red Wing would be
materially shortened. To this Rogers
replied that he would do his best.

SAME RESULT AT cRooKsToN.

Residents of Crookston and Thief
River Falls are jubilant over de-
cision which has been handed
down by the attorney generals
office, in which it is held
that the officials elected at the last
election are entitled to office.
At the last election an entire new
board of aldermen was elected. All
candidates. however, failed to COM
uly with the corrupt practices act in
not filing their election expenses.
Supporters of the old council con-
tended that the election was invalid
and therefore that the old board
would hold over another term. The
attorney generals opinion, however,
is that as no contest has been in
stitued the men receiving the major
itv of votes should be deemed elected.

ALUMNI MAY PLAY HIGH
Former Stars Of Blue and White Be
lieve That They Could Show Up
Present School Basketball Five
PLAY DURING XMAS. VACATION

= ! ! :. $50 . =
Former stars Of Bemidji high
school athletics are considering or
sganizing a basketball five in order
that game might be arranged with
the blue and white to be played
sometime during the Christmas holt
days.
While the All-Stars would not
comprise an entirely alumni five, it
would be made up of some of the
cleverest basket shooters ever to
have represented the local institu-
ton.
Peck at one guard would be in a
class by himself, while James Malone
and Charles Gould, both reliable men
in their day, could alternate at the
other. Al Neuman at centre ought to
be able to take the ball from his
more inexperienced opponent at al
most every toss up.
At forwards Lee Heffron, of Big
Bemidg renown, and a graduate of
the high school, Earle Bailey, one Of
the cleverest little athletes ever turn
ed out by coaches Of the blue and
white, and Ralph Lycan, providing
he could be induced to don a suit,
would be able to secure the neces-
sary points to win.
While the all-stars would be some
what larger then the high school
athletes, the latter boys would ex-
coed in speed, which would give Ell
letson and Tanner plenty of OPP
portunity to connect with the basket.
The school guards would have lots
of trouble with Bailey and Heffron,
but ought to be able to keep the
count low The high school is
lacking a first class centre. Hayner
and Cameron have never played the
game before and find trouble in
handling the ball. Neuman would
have sseasy pickings'' with either OF
these men in the jump and in gener-
al play.

WALL STREET PINS
HOPE ON ROOT TALK
Tavenner Brings Out Point That
Senator Spoke From Viewpoint Of
The Money Trust
WANT CURRENCY BILL KILLED
Pomerene Gives Five Reasons WHY In
flation Would be Impossible Under
Conditions Suggested

From Congressman G. H. Tavenner.
Washington, December 19-The
bankers of the county-the Big Bank
ers of Wall Street, that is-haVe pin
ned their hope on Senator Roots
speech, of which so much is being
made by the reactionary news papers,
for defeating or practically amending
the administration currency bill.
When Root spoke he spoke from the
viewpoint of the Money Trust, the
monarchs of finance who, under the
present banking system, have large
control of the vast commercial de-
posts of the entire country.
Big business does not want the cur
rency bill passed, and so the word
has gone down the banking line to
draw to credits. There is no econo-
mic reason for this restriction, but it
is in force pust the same, presenting
the anomoly Of business dizziness in
the midst Of great prosperity. And
the situation is adding to the burden
of the patient, resolute man in the
White House.
Senator Root did not mention the
real reason for Wall Streets opposi-
tion to the bill, namely, that Wall
Street will lose it's precious privilege
of gambling with other peoples
money. Oh, no. Mr.. Root spoke of the
dangers of currency initiation, and
the abstract Gresham's Law of cheap
money driving gold into hiding or
out of the country. And so those who
jump when the hand of Morgan pulls
the strings are heralding his speech
DIS ii masterpiece OF craftsmanship,
and are nominating. him for Presi-
dent.
Senator Pomerene, one of the deep
est students of banking in the Sen
ate, told the writer why, under the
proposed legislation, the currency is
in no danger of Initiation. ..-
"There are half dozen checks
against it" he said, "and if all our
provisions are powerless to control a
reckless Federal Reserve Board, Con-
gress will be continually. in session
to enact any needed amendments in
short order. But these are the
checks against Initiation:
81. The individual bank will limit
a depositor's credit by the usual
guides:
"2. The credit of the individual
bank will be limited by the federal
reserve bank-the latter can refuse
to discount commercial paper when
the currency is becoming Inflated;
"3. In the same way the credit
of the reserve bank is limited by the
Federal Reserve Board:
"a. The Federal Reserve Board,
with power to fix rates Of discount,
can check any tendency toward in
flation by daising rates. This func-
ton really includes the taxing pro-
vision which Senator Root advocates
as an amendment: a. ..
IS. Finally the board has the
power to assess a graduated tax on
note above certain point"
