WARM WELCOME
TO PENDERGAST;
HUNDREDS GREET
HIM UPON ARRIVAL
Fiehter for Bemidji's Normal In the
Legislature is Home; Spontaneous
Reception at Depot.
AGED REPRESENTATIVE HAPPY;
FACE WREATHED IN SMILES
Escorted By Throng Through City;
Allowed to Proceed Home After
Tiresome Journey.

The youngest old man" ar
rived in Bemidji last evening. He
came in on the M. & I. train that
arrived at 6 O'Clock from st. Paul.
He was l.. G. Pendergast OF Be-
midi represen .ative in the state
legislature, and a spontaneous out
nourine of Bemidji's citizenship was
at the depot to welcome him and his
good wife. For it was Representa-
tive Pendergast who had fought so
nobly for Bemidji's normal school
and won. And while it might seem
an amusing human interest feature
II was at a great personal sacrifice
for while the grizzled veteran OF the
civil war had won for Bem1d]1 ne
lost 40 pounds weight. AND ms
kindly face was wreathed in smiles
as he emerged from the car to be
greeted with band music and the
outstretched hands of a throng OF
frieads-for he was home.
Warm Welcome.
Instantly he was surrounded Dy
the crowd every one eager TO grasp
his hand, and cheers rent the ar
He was escorted to the car of A. r.
white. the band played, the Civilian
auxiliary fell into line, scores OF
autos followed in turn and the pro-
eeaeion passed through the business
district to the city hall where 1t
ffisbanded and Representative ana
Mrs. Pendergast were allowed to pro-
ceed to their home for much needed
rest.
Tn the car which carried Mr.. and
Mrs Pendergast were Mayor van
dersluis. Postmaster Ritchie and E.
B. Berman, besides Mr.. White. mr..
Pendergast was as happy as c1am
in a slack tide and, wOman-hke, emo
tion overcame the more tender nature
Of the loyal little wife, which moist
ened eyes mutely indicated.
SPONTANEOUS 0utburst.
The welcome was an impromptu
affair and for that reason all the
more genuine. It was learned DUR
ing the day that Mr.. Pendergast
would arrive early in the evening ana
the greeting was spontaneous OUT
burst. ,..
Throughout today Mr.. Pendergast
was the recipient of hearty greetings
and congratulations.
In response to query as to how
he felt, Mr.. Pendergast replleo
"good."
"Bemidji was ready to give up the
normal as everybody felt that 1t was
no use to expect anything from the
legislature along that line this time
and that seemed to be the general I'M
preston throughout the city, re-
marked a Pioneer representative.
Couldn't Bluff Him.
"Well, it did look that way ex-
plained Mr.. Pendergast, "but l felt
lust like Paul Jones did-just com,
menced to fight. Tell you those ~
members of the house stuck by Pc
midi and they deserve great credit
Nothing could move them no matter
what it was," and the man who walk
ed 80 miles to enlist to uphold the
flag in the Civil war thumped INST
on the seat of the auto in when ne
was sitting, showing the fighting
snirit still undiminished in the smll-
ing old battler.

Blackduck had a patriotic celebra-
ton last evening in the town hall,
which was largely attended and en-
thusiastic in every particular. The
speakers were P. J. Russell and Chief
of Police Ripple of Bemidji and they
were accompanied by A. G. Wedge.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Opsahl and Sher-
iff johnson. Mayor Charles Hayden
of Blackduck presided.
Vocal selections of patriotic ma
ture and music appropriate to the
occasion were prominently featured.
Mr.. Russell's address dealt with
the object of America entering the
world war, in that it was against
Prussianism, such as has dominated
the German nation, and not against
the German people, that it was to
free them from an imperialistic yoke

PLANTtC0RN EARLY:
FARMERS ADVISED

Washington, April 21.-Hints t
farmers on planting corr
are contained in a bulletin just is
sued by the Department of Agricul
ture.
The information is based on re
suits obtained from three years of ex
periments. These points are made:
Drv Corn terminates Strongly.
First-Seed corn that natures
properly and is dried thorough
ly as soon a smature and kept
dry will give a strong germina-
tion.
Second-Seed corn of strong
termination can be planted sew
eral weeks earlier than ordin-
ary seed. Ordinary seed will
rot where proper seed will not.
Seed of wrong termination al
so will utilize the growing sea-
son more fully, mature earlier
and produce a larger and bet
ter matured crop.
Early Planted Stands Frost.
Third - Very early planted
corn makes slower growth above
ground than late planted corn,
is not so tender and consequent
ly not injured so much by
spring frosts.
Fourth-Earliness of matur-
ity means smallness in size and
yield. It is a mistake to choose
the earliest maturing varieties
where a large and more produc-
tive variety can be ripened by
earlier planting.
PROMPTED by Heavy Losses.
The bulletin was prompted by
the fact that in recent years en-
ormous losses have been sus-
tanned through early fall frosts.
The department urges earlier
planting to avoid the September
freeze danger.
"Thick paintings should be mad
so that although the weakest plant
are killed by frosts and insects de
stroy some, a sufficient number o
the most vigorous plants will remail
to maintain a full stand" the bul
letin says. after planting, the sol
surface should be kept dry an
warm by frequent civilizations.
Late PAINTINGS Uncertain.
In conclusion the bulletin says:
EARLY planted corn mature
earlier and usually yields bette
than later planted corn. Earle
planting will result in larger an
better crops in the Northern thir
of the United States and cause suffi
GENTLY early ripening to reduce tn
losses which frequently oc
cur through failure of the corn GRO
to mature before growth is stoppe
by frost.'
