The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1917-09-27

The ten women of this city who
have taken a weeks training in sur
gical dressing, finished their course
yesterday. Both written and oral
examinations were given by the in
structor, Mrs. M. B. Patterson of st.
Paul.
The class has worked very rapidly
and accomplished much during the
seven days it took up the work. In
structions will be given by these la
dies in the future and they plan
to go right on with the work. If
the brave boys will offer their lives
as sacrifice to this good cause, the
least those remaining at home can
do will be to make dressings with
which to bind up their wounds when
they are brought back from under
the Huns Curtain of Fire."

THEATERS
AT THE EIK0

Mae Murray, the talented young
screen star who was last seen In
the charming Lasky production 1.-THE
Primrose Ring" will appear in AT
First Sight," modern romantic
comedy by George Middleton, at the

lures of pretty Justine Gibbs, played

attractive and highly American type
of young woman who rebels against
a prearranged marriage and follows
the dictates of her heart. 1t is es-
sentially a comedy and the story is
really based upon the efforts of the
young woman to win the heart OF
young writer so absorbed in his
work that the heroine must take him
by storm.
AS an added attraction more than
100 photographs of Beautiful Be,
midi Babies will be shown enlarged
on the screen at the Elko tonight.

safety First" Farming

Presque Isle Star Herald)
On a Sunday trip down through
Blaine and Bridgewater the Star Her
aid reporter paid a call upon Mr.. Ma
thaniel Beam, one of the old-timc set
tiers Of his town, and man who per-
ssts in farming according to the motto
Safety First" financially.
Mr.. Beam has as many potatoes
planted as any man should plant on
an eighty acre farm, and then he has
wheat, buckwheat. hogs. cows, and
e, erything to hedge himself round
with perfect independence.
He has g wheat field Of four acres
in prime condition, which means
bread for three years. pork, beef.
poultry. eggs in ample abundance,
and finally a garden Of nearly half
an acre.
Out of this garden he will put away
for winter every sort Of vegetable,
stored preserved and picked. He gets
bread from his wheat, milled at Cen
treville. that he rightly claims Is bet
ter and sweeter than any boughten
-four, and the bill Of fare one gets at
the Ream family board three times a
DAY is Of the amplest and best.
Perhaps years ago in the pioneer
days Mr.. Beam knew what 1t felt like
to be in debt. but he long ago swap
ped the debtor for the creditor side
Of the account. and is now a sample
Of safe and sensible farming, and of
sort OF comfort and independence
plea SAINT to look upon.
