G. w. Jewett and Company Now Have
Establishment Which Equals Any
in State-Additio in Use.
ALL ACCESSORIES ARE CARRIED

With the completion of the 4O-foot
addition which has been built on the
garage Of c. w. Jewett & company,

most modernly equipped establish
ments of it's character in the state.
The addition provides for what is
known as "day-light" machine

a driveway. All drivers who wish to
leave the garage will be required to
use the rear door, which is built at
the corner of the structure and so
constructed that the alley drive may
be reached without inconvenience.
The rear door plan does away with
all congestion at the front and dan
gers met in backing to the street.
With the new part the garage will
be 40 feet long and so feet wide.
1t will be equipped with much new
machinery, which added to that now
in use will make the shop complete
and modern in every detail. There
is lathe, shaper, drillpress, boring
machine and all special tools neces-
sary in quick repairing of automo-
~biles. Among the new equipment is
"a cylinder, boring machine and over
sized piston filter which will do work
now necessary to send away.
In connection with the garage there
is a gasoline filing tank, air pres
sure always ready for use by auto
lists and a complete line of access
series, the latter department being
in charge of. an experienced man.
"We are making big success of our
cash basis plain" said Mr.. Jewett this
morning. "Our motto is short mar
gin of profit and quick turnover Of
stock.''

BEMIDJI HINT LEADS TO ARREST
Matt Cos Taken for Wife Desertion-
Denley Gives Information.

Information. given by George Den
ley, deputy sheriff of Beltrami zcoun-
ty, is responsible for the arrest of
Matt Cos, of Minneapolis, in Big
Falls Saturday. Cos, who was a
Wells Fargo express company mana
ger, was wanted for wife desertiou.
After his disappearance the case was
placed in the hands of T. J. Kelley,
Minneapolis detective, we'll known
in Bemidji, who asked Denley for
information concerning recent visit
OF Cos to this city. Denley investi-
gated and found that he had left
for Big Falls, where his arrest took
place. Responsible for the arrest of
Cos is a picture in a tiny locket that
hung around the neck of his young
est daughter. This was the only
likeness which Cos neglected to de-
stroy when he planned his getaway
and it was this that betrayed him.
Detective Kelley had the picture en-
larged and set out to capture him.
Cos attempted to enter Canada but
because of the strict precautions on
account of the war, failed. Mrs. Dos
told the officials that after her hus-
band left she made desperate strug-
gle to keep the wolf from the door
working as she could and caring for
her four little children. But she
couldn't make both ends meet and
piece by piece she sold her furniture
until only the absolute necessities re-
manned. Then she appealed to the
charities for help. Her case became
known in this way and the matter
was laid before the police.

Electric Light Company Shows Where
Electricity Can Be Used to Prac-
tical Advantage at Small Price.
1SNOW USED AS FUEL BY MANY

Byareading a certain advertisement
in this issue most readers Of the
Pioneer will learn something entire
ly, new to them with regard to the
practical use of electricity 1t will
tell them something they never heard
before. The ad appears at the top
Of the local page, page three, and
contains table showing the cost Of
electricity as applied to various
household uses. -
The ad is that of the Minnesota
Electric Light & Power company.
It says that one can operate an cleo
trio washing machine for two hours
for five cents; a curling iron forty
five hours for a nickle; an electric
fan 20 hours and IL minutes for a
half dime; stove two hours and
thirty-two minutes for the price of a
jitney ride and dozen other stunts
it will do for that price.
- The company will make an effort
through it's personal work and pub
licity in the future to educate the
public to the many pleasant uses to
which electricity may be applied.
Many homes are using it for both
i tzait aSad fuel in other cities and
with the new rates in Bemidji = for
current used for these purposes the
cost will be about. the same as other
fuels. $3.50.
In speaking of the possibilities of
electricity, A. w. Johnson, manager
of the local plant, said: II believe
that the time is coming when homes
will use nothing but electricity fo1
light, fuel and heat. Successful elec-
trio furnaces are now in use and with
the new ideas along this line that are
being introduced this method should
prove entirely practical"

Rome, June 7.-Serbian troops
have invaded Central Albania and
are occupying several towns in the

battalions occupy Sissi and Suma.
Around the lower Dibra the Serbs
entered the villages of Stereva and
Folobardo unopposed. It is believed
