Those who have undertaken TO raise funds
for uniforms for the Home Defeuse League
deserve credit for having accomplished this
purpose. The business men, also, whose
property interests were larger than the hold
ings Of the average citizen, are to be COM
mcnded for recognizing their share of the
responsibility to the organization by liberal
contributions. This, too, after responding
generously 10 many patriotic appeals for
financial assistance.

der But it never feased him. The
time he smashed his jaw, as told in
the Pioneer the first of the week, he
dived 100 feet into AZ inches of wa
ter with stiff wind blowing and was
swerved while in the air so he struck
the edge Of the tank. Yesterday he
received a letter from one of the

would dive from the Brooklyn bridge

Taking a whirl around the Dick
erson shows, now in Bemidji under
the auspices of the Elks, one finds
many things of interest, and last
night a representative of the Pioneer
went sightseeing, the first time since
the carnival opened. And he was
much pleased with what he saw.
In the first place, the management
of the Dickerson shows is wise. 1t
is wise in that it has not attempted
to put together big conglomeration
of nondescript "attractions.' The
railroads announced some time ago
that no special equipment could be
furnished travelling organizations
and guaranteed no time sch edules.
This put several carnivals out OF
business and crippled others, who
had been touring the south.
Mr.. Dickerson, proprietor of the
Dickerson shows, does not boast the
largest nor the greatest show on
earth, but he does guarantee that he
offers meritorious attractions and
that every one can be visited by any
woman or child in any city where
they are showing and not see nor
hear a thing not proper. He is
right and the newspaperman will
corroborate Mr.. Dickerson's asser-
tion.
There is enough to spend a long
and entertaining evening and the
management has surrounded himself
with an intelligent and courteous
staff of executives and employees
There is an utter absence of any
trough Stuff and a question always
brought courteous and helpful re-
ply.
There are a lot of good things
wrapped up in the Dickerson shows
Under a large canvas is the cabaret
and one is surprised to see and hear
Bonnie Benedict, the "double voiced
singer" who is practically a female
baritone and can sing soprano as
well. She seems out of place in
carnival company, no reflections on
the carnival, but she is capable of
better. Joe Tenebaum should
spread himself out more and hit the
vaudeville circuit or musical COM
edy. He has it in him. Last eve
ming in topical song he spied Dis
trict Judge Stanton in a crowd and
