the minstrel performance held in the

tinued.
The chorus as a whole was excell-
ent and the popular songs took we'll
with the audience. Al Jester as mon
ologuist was expected to please and
he did not disappoint. His story
telling was good feature and his
famous telephone story was the cause
of shouts, laughter and tears.
Seldom has Bemidji heard a male
quartette equal to the combination of
Nelson, Lycan, Collins and Bushnell
and when it comes to real funny
sketches the high salaried performers
have nothing on the two teams that
worked so we'll last evening. Fenton
and Maloy in comedy sketch,
"Back From Europe" acted their
parts in real professional. style and
were appreciably applauded from
every corner of the big room. szez
p Lycan and Chichester in Levi and
Cohen" could not be better. Their
makeup was exceptional and repre-
sented jewish characters in true old
fashioned style. Funny is no name
for their act. 1t was more than that,
it was a side splitting stunt in which
they recited many laughable phrases
so peculiarly fitting to the foreign
jew.
The solos, all of them were receiv-
ed and in each instance applauded for
more. Taken as whole there was
absolutely nothing lacking, and moth
ing that might be changed to make
it better performance.
The Hanson and Jewett automobile
skit was, not given owing to the lack
of stage room.
Eighty-nine dollars was taken in
at the door and somewhat over 5000
in tickets was distributed before the
performance by the various automo-
bile owners of the city. The program
was we'll patronized and for the con-
venience of the auto club, advertisers

Held to Their Carriage.

A man seated in his own private
carriage placed upon track at the
end of q railway train would prob
ably be considered bit of a crank
nowadays. Yet it was quite COM

many people still living. The late
duke of Portland always travelled in
that way between Welbeck and Lon

Rev. Sir David Hunter-Blair tells .
story Of gentleman he knew in his
youth who was wont to go from Lon

WORK AT ANGOLA.

Returning from Angola, Chief Engl-
neer Kerr said:
81 found these people as wide-awake
to their work and responsibility as any
in the state. They have been working
on these levees at, every available OPP
portunity since the high water OF l9lZ
receded. There are thirteen miles IN
all, and but two miles are left TO be
brought I'D to the standard of the 1917
high-water mark. A considerable part
Of the water front is superior to the
1912 high-water mark.
Il Judge that there were between
400 and 500 men with wheelbarrows
and 100 men and teams working on the
levees. and a mighty effort is being
made to bring all parts up to the equa
of the 1912 high-water mark. II they
meet with no adverse conditions,
should think that the work Will d

a QUESTION OF MEDICAL ETHICS

The question as to whether Df.
Friedmann's determination to keep his
tuberculosis cure a secret is right or
wrong. and as to whether he did the
right thing in having his discovery
patented, is answered by the American
Journal of Surgery as follows: ITO
our mind Friedman was fully JUSTIFIED
in his course. Had he reserved the
remedy to his own use, the case would
be different. He freely gave the rem
edy. however, to a large number OF
clinicians in Berlin. We need only
think of the possibilities Of injudicious
preparation and administration by not
well-meaning and unprincipled persons
to appreciate that friedman 10 per-
fectly right nj keeping the secret 70
himself until his method o placed on
a surer footing. Ehrlich keeps the prep
aration of salvarsan secret, but We
have heard no criticism Of his action
At all events, Friedman promises a
detailed publication in the near iu-
ture."

A POPULAR BOND ISSUE.

A banker in one Of the agricultural
parishes in South Louisiana declared
that his bank would subscribe for $685.
900 and he felt confident he could place
$4,000 additional in his parish, SINH
lar conditions, doubtless, prevail all
over the state, and it needs only to be
appealed to upon the high lines of state
pride and patriotism to cause a res
ponse that would thrill the country.
A succession of betrayals Of public
confidence by crooked bankers, nota-
ries and homestead officials has driv-
en- much money into hiding all over
Louisiana. The people who own it
would be glad to invest it in their
states obligations, for they know it to
be safe and that it will return a rea-
sonable income in the way Of inter
est. 1t is worth while inviting the
people of Louisiana to invest in the
honor and prosperity Of their state
Governor Hall, don't you think it woulc
be worth while to give the people al
opportunity to make this investment

A PRIZE OFFERED.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is who
writes the best composition, not to ex-
coed 500 words, on the repair and main
tenance of earth roads, is to be award
ed by Logan Waller Page, Director,

Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C. All compositions must be
submitted to Mr.. Page before May Is,

soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded. The composition may
be based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota.
tons should be made.
After many years. experience in deal
ing with the public road situation or
the country, it Is Mr.. Pages belief that
ignorance on the subject of repair and
maintenance of roads Is as much the
cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about a bet
ter understanding Of the subject OF re-
pair and maintenance In the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadVan'
tages of roads made impossible
through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate great
er interest among the parents. Bad
roads have prevented many children
from obtaining a proper education and
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients In
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mention
ed. attending a country school, may
. compete. Only one side of the paper
, must be written on; each page should
: be numbered; the name, age, and al
4 dress of the writer, and the name and
e location of the school which he or she
k is attending must be plainly written

FIXED PRICES.

One merchant, in complaining OF the
mail order houses and the business
thew do, said to the writer: why is
it that people will buy, sight UNI
seen, from mail order houses, trusting
them to pick and choose, while they
pass up the retail store, where they
know the merchant and can see the
goods?"
The answer was that the mail order
house sells at fixed" prices, and the
customer feels or knows that he is get
ting a square deal. On the other hand
the customer might buy a suit from the
local retailer on Monday for $25 and
see the same suit offered for $3.50 the
following Friday.

CORN SLOGAN FOR 1914.

Unless crops are diversified the re-
suit, according to statement by Prof..
Perry G. Holden, of the party of agrl'
culturists touring Louisiana in the in
terest of "1OO,OOO,OOO bushels of Louis
lana corn in 1914" is inevitably poor
land. Il have just this to say to the
people of Louisiana and Arkansas,
said Mr.. Holden. "All along the line
have been telling the farmer and bust
ness men of Arkansas and Louisiana
that they are raising too fine crop OF
tin cans.
when you buy million dollars
worth of Iowa hogs and lard and con-
densed milk, Iowa gets your million
dollars and you get the hogs. When
YOU eat the lard and pork you have
neither the money nor the hog. You
must all remember that the millions

the interest of the farmer is the IN
