TRUE SPORT AT TRAPS
Popular Pastime, Half Century Old,
Has Many Enthusiasts in Bemidji
One More Shoot This Season.
TO PAY EXPENSES OF DELEGATE

Although less than half a century
old, trapshooting has thousands of
enthusiasts. The manner in which
the sport has gained in popularity
in Bemidji is but an indication of
the ever increasing favor with which
it is regarded. The Rod & Gun club
here on next Sunday will complete
the most successful shoot it has ever
had.
Charles Vandersluis, secretary. of
the gun club, announced today that
the club now has box of shells and
about 500 clay pigeons to be disposed
of and that the shoot of Sunday will
be held for the purpose of using these
and to secure funds with which to
pay the expenses of Thayer G. Bailey,
who will attend the Game Protection
association meeting which is to be
held at Minneapolis, as the Bemidii
delegate. The shoot of last Friday
was to have been the last but the
material left makes another desirable.
Like it's contemporary, baseball,
trap shooting is truly American
sport. A clean democratic pastime
filed to the brim with the spirit of
fair play and good sportsmanship,
it's influence over it's devotees, how
ever, is perhaps more deeply rooted
than that of any other sport. For
trap shooting finds it's very source
in an inherent human trait-an in
born desire on the part of every red
blooded individual to excel in marks
manship.
One cannot watch a club tourna-
ment without experiencing an ire
sistible desire to grab gun and show
the other fellow how to do it, and
the lure of the clay pigeon with it's
tantalizing challenge to the shooter s
skill beggars description. Baseball
fans may be made, but trap shooters
can be truly said to be born, for it
needs only the mere sight of the
sport to fan the dormant shooting in
stinct into a. brilliant flame. And
once this condition is brought about
veritable "gun bug" exists.
Trap shooting fever is contagious.
No one is immune. The microbe at
tacks all classes and both sexes. 1t
is nothing extraordinary to find both
boss and employ fighting it out to
the finish at the score. Youth and
old age are brothers "in arms at the
sport, and the one-armed shooter Is
no exception. Incidentally the sport
has the approval and Endorsement OF
every thinking man. Even the cler.
gy are susceptible to it's charm.

ALLIED COUNTRIES BACK ), oza
Belligerent Countries Now Paying
War Debts Out of Loans, But at
End Soldiers Must Pay.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, Aug. 26.-Alarm amons
the financial leaders of all the bel.
ligerent countries at the ceaseless de.
struction of wealth caused by the wal
is becoming evident. Reports, how
ever, Of secret meetings in Berlin
and Petrograd, at which the possible
bankruptcy Of Germany and Russia
was admitted, must be accepted with
reserve. The financiers of the war,
ring nations do not fear bankruptcy,
but rather impoverishment in the
coming days of peace, when the war
bills must be paid.
Russia cannot become bankrupt,
if for no other reason than that Eng
land and France are underwriting g
her. Neither is there danger of Ger
man bankruptcy while Germany has
her state-owned railways to mort
gage as a final resort to secure funds
for carrying on the war. Nations
have seldom allowed the danger of
bankruptcy to stand between them
and the prosecution of war; and it
is not at all probable that the fear
of insolvency is causing uneasiness
in any Of the European capitols.
Have Scarcely Begun.
But the belligerent nations have
as yet scarcely begun to pay for the
war. Almost the whole Of the $751;
100000 day which the German min
lister of finance estimates the war
is costing is being raised by loans.
Hardly any war taxation is being
imposed in Europe. The German
government has announced it will
fight the war to the end on loans and,
although there is much urging in
England that heavy taxes be imposed
to relieve the burden on posterity, the
cabinet is reluctant to act
Soldiers Must Pay.
AS soon as the war ends, the pro-
cess of payment must be begun, for
the interest charges will have to be
met. At present they are being paid
out of the loans themselves, but this
process must cease when the soldiers
return to their normal industries If
the war continues much longer, the
soldiers, on their return, will find the
chief result of the war has been to
pile debts on the belligerent coun-
tries which will require the doubling
of present taxes to meet in interest
and sinking fund.-
Then the abject poverty which the
war is preparing will be felt and
epochmaking economic revolutions
will become possible. It is possible
the need to lessen this inevitable dis
tress after the war, rather than to
guard against bankruptcy, to which
the fnanciers of the warning nations
are now secretly calling attention.

f. Many an unpleasant thing needs to
be done in a pleasant way. Teachers,
and parents, and people in business
life who are responsible for the work
of others must from time to time
speak in criticism or point out how an
Improvement can be made in the way
Of doing things Such word of
criticism, or correction. or of sug-
gested improvement can have the ef-
feet of being either a shove down or
a lift up. 1t can come to the one ad-
dressed as slap in the face, or as a
hearty grip of the hand. The word
can be spoken with disarming smile
of reinsurance, or hard and discour-
aging look of condemnation. And the
heartening, lifting, smiling word Of ad-
monition or suggestion brings hun
dred per cent better response than
the other sort; it gets the very results
that we are after, while the word that
anfagonizes Is liable to defeat the
whole thing Love is paying prop
osition; unlove is a dead loss.

The Beast of Burden,

Professor Ward, social secretary of
the MetheGss Episcopal church, in an
address in Indianapolis on "The De-
mand for Leisure" said:
Working hours should be judged
from the standpoint of fatigue. Sta
tistics prove that the highest mortal
fly rate is invariably in the indus
trial sections because the rest of these
workers is not commensurate with
their duties. A shorter workday Is an
economic benefit to ALL 1t means more
men, more machinery, higher stand
ards, increased demands, more produc-
tion and the expansion of industries.
''The family life becomes a closed
book wpen6 sran returns hotae dead
tired from his days work. When he
reaches that stage he loses identity
as a man, husbsnd and father and be-
comes the Hsast OF burden"

POSSIBLE CAUSE or DISTRESS
Temmy's Guess as to Alexander's
Spell Of Weeping Showed He
Had Imagination.

The teacher was telling his class
about the conquest of Alexander the
Great. He made the tale a stirring
one, and at last reached the conquest
of India. Wishing to impress the chill
dren, he said: when Alexander haG
conquered India, what do you think he
did? Do you think he gave a great
feast to celebrate his triumph? No;
he sat down and wept!"
The children seemed to be little
disappointed at this childish exhibi'
tion on the part of the hero; so the
teacher continued: "Now, why do
you think Alexander wept?" he asked.
Up went little hand; but when its
owner saw 1t was the only one in
view, he hurriedly withdrew it.
"Come on now, Tommy" said the
teacher in his most persuasive voice,
"why do you think Alexander wept?''
PLEASE, SIR" sai6 Tommy hesitat-
ingly, perhaps he didn't know the

ascRlBE: VALUE TO SMILE
Physicians Advise Patients to Prao
tIee Good Humor as Preserva-
tive Of Health.

There fs an interesting theory ir
psychology known as the James-Lange
theory, after the psychologists, VIII
liam James and c. q: Lange.
This theory relates to the emotions
and insists that, contrary to the popu
lar belief, the muscular and other
physical changes which accompany
the different emotions are actually
the causes rather than the effects oi
these varying mental states.
That is, according to the James
Lange theory, instead of saying that
We weep because we grieve, we ought
to say that we grieve because we
weep. Similarly, We do not strike be-
cause we are angry, we are angry be-
cause we strike. And we do not run
because we are frightened, but we are
frightened because we run.
While few psychologists accept this
doctrine, all are agreed that there is
q certain amount OF truth in it, and
that it is entirely possible to produce
I'm oneself any specific emotion by vol.
UNFAIRLY assuming the characteristic
physical expression of that emotion.
If any emotion can be produced by
deliberately adopting its distinctive
physical expression, it manifestly is
profitable to endeavor to produce in
this way the various emotions and
moods-joy, happiness, contentment-
which are known to exert favorable
influence over the whole organism.
Consequently it is not surprising to
find that many physicians who are
aware of this striking psycho-physio-
logical fact are advising their patients
to practice smiling as an aid to the
preservation Of health.
Smile even When you don't feel like
doing SO. Soon you will find the SEN
timents of Joy, strength and courage
dominant in your hearth. Adding
