B. H. s. Defeats Wadena
By AZ to 26; Baileyls Star

In an exceptionally fast game of
basketball the Bemidji high school
quintet defeated the Wadena high
school team last evening by score
of AZ to 26. The local team showed
a decided improvement in form, es-
peeially in their team work.
Bailey carried off first honors for
Benidji, making IA points for his
team. Although closely guarded by
Spsncer, the Wadena star, he got
away for a number of dribble shots
under the basket Warfeld was
close second with a total of 10
points to his credit. He showed ex-
certional spirit in playing the entire
game, not being in his usual phys
ical condition and handicapped as he
was ill during the game.
Frank Phibbs, playing at left for
ward, showed great Improvement in
form and worked we'll with Bailey in
completing some difficult plays. Dan
lei Gainey showed true form last eve
ming by holding his man to a low
score and making three baskets for
his own team
Young Fred Phibbs made his first
appearance with the Bemidjit team

Tuesdays Vote Largest
Ever Cast In City; Many
Issues Bring Out Ballots

Tuesdays vote was the largest ever
cast in the city of Bemidji. It was
so on account Of the admission of
Nymore to the corporate limits of
the city, making five instead of four
wards.
Even with the new Fifth ward left
out of the total vote the number of
ballots was the largest ever cast in
the city. The Fourth ward cast an
immense ballot, considering it being
the fourth, and in the Second heavy
ballot was cast on account of the un-
usually keen competition.
The large number of candidates for
the municipal judgeship also was a
factor in getting out the vote and
the bond issue also lent it's part in
the large vote.
Interest the ward results stirred
the voters to their utmost and each
city precinct, with the possible ex-
ception of the First and Third, where
there was no opposition, was combed
thoroughly to get the vote to the
polls.

For some time there has been a
great deal of wrangling over what
should be done in connection with
young boys frequenting pool and bill
lard halls and bowling alleys and
the matter has reached such a stage
that today Chief of Police Ripple
took the bull by the horns" and
served notice upon all proprietors of
places wherein are played pool or
billiards and also upon bowling alley
proprietors, that henceforth the law
of the state and the city ordinance
will be enforced in detail.
Boys under 18 years of age are af-
fected, as are boys who are students
Of the high school. The provisions
under which the chief is acting say
that no youths of such prescribed age

Boys Must Keep Out OF
Pool and Billiard Places

may frequent pool halls or billiard
parlors unless accompanied by one
of their parents or legal guardian,
and anyone who desires his boy to
frequent pool and billiard halls
should confer personally with Chief
Ripple of the police department.
1t seems that in the attempt to
regulate this question there are some
parents who think it all right for
their sons to 1oiter around billiard
halls and pool rooms and have COM
planned over the provisions Of the
ordinance and objected to the en-
forcement in their personal instan-
ces, and Chief Ripple states he will
enforce the ordinance and asks the
cooperation Of parents for there will
be prosecution for violations.

TUESDAY GREAT DAY
FOR CITY CLERK STEIN

Tuesday was a great day for City
Clerk George Stein. Several years
ago (just how many is a matter of
speculation Tuesday there appeared
upon this terrestrial globe a young
ster who bore the name of his fore
bears, Stein. True, the youngster
was only "snit'' at the time but he
grew into a full fledged Stein and
became known to his conferees as
George, which name had been at
tached to him in his infancy.
And on Tuesday Mr.. Stein cele-
brated his natal day by also being
reelected to the office of city clerk
of the city of Bemidji.

At this time when all the resources of the nation
are being modified and when every one justly, because
LOYALTY thinks only of work and service, doing his bit
for the country it not unwise to remind ourselves OF
the value of rest the inspensabeness of recreation
and above all of a vacation, combining rest from
labor and the recreation of the soul The value OF
vacation is two-fod-physcal and spiritual 1t Is
tuism that we cannot work without periodic rest The
physical machine will break down unless, from time to
time we give ourselves rest when literally recreate
our muscles and thinking apparatus
And rest means putting aside altogether the Gus
tomary task, escaping from the monoony of the usual
scenes of our activity When say monotony we have
touched upon the spiritual function of vacation Every
human being becomes an appendage to his work, the
victim of his tools the slave of his specially and there
fore work which to express his personality ends
bv making him drudge. The nobest kind of work
cannot escape appearing thus And, above ALL IN this
age of specialization is there danger lest our work make
us fractions of men and Vacation takes us away
from the monotony of the customary formula the par
tcular groove the repetition of the thing we can do
best 1t releases u.s. it berates the spirit recrcates
the whole soul.
Going to some beautiful spot and enjoying nature
communing with the spirit in the woods taking our mind
off our work as a means of existence we become
children of the spirit again And when go back to
our usual occupation we take it up with joy and our
service becomes all the more efficient for that That
work should be the expression of personality, vacations
are necessary.

French Airmen' Bombs Keep
Prince EiteI's Home Moving
Kaiser'S Son, Who Spades to
Reduce Weight, Is Forced
to Change Headquarters
at Front

fCorrsspondsncs - Ths Associated Fros.l
Noyon, France, May 1S.-The only
building remaining intact in all tho re
gion CT Chauny and rs far north as
Saint Simon, after the retreat Of the
Germans, was a wooden pavilion built
uron a rise Of ground between what
was once the burg Of Faillouel and the
ruins Of Flavy lie Martel. A rustic fence
around the building bears in rustic let
ters this designation: "Eitel Friedrich
Schanz" ("Eitel Frederick Redoubt')
There Is no evidence Of the place
having been fortified, and the supposi-
ton is that it served as an observatory
or resting place for the prince between
spells at his regimen of gardening, pre-
scribed by his doctors TO reduce his
weight.
The building comprises a single room.
pGpered in sky-blue, with gilt orna-
ments, and furnished with rustic chairs
and tables. The veranda commands u
view of ruin and desolation.
The I'd Division of the Prussian
Guard. under Prince Eitel's orders,
operated here, and the prince had his
headquarters in several different cha
teaus of the region. The evidence OF
the inhabitants is that the occupying
troops left no hardship untried upon
them. Certainly Nowhere in the zone
evacuated by the German troops was
the country more completely desolated
The first positive traces OF Prince
Eitel Friedrich in this region were
- III rcn IN ra
he occupied the chateau of Avricourt,
belonging to Count Balny. at the end Of
October. 1915. French aviatOrs got the
bearings of his headquarters there and
he left hurriedly in 1916 for Fretoy lie
Chateau, where he occupied the prop
erty of NJ. Dubois. He took with him
all the furniture, dishes and plate Of
the Count Balny.
Russian prisoners of war were
brought there 10 dig a deep under
ground shelter from airplane bombs for
the prince.
Prince Eitel was seen every morning
during his soioun az Fretoy spading in
the garden Of the chateau. French avia-
tors surprised him at this exercise one
morning in July of last year. Their
bombs demolished the headquarters Of
the army telephone service and did
other damage, whereupon Prince Eitel
and his staff moved 10 other quarters
not yet identified.
The Cd Division Of the Guard ap-
peared on the front Of the Somme IN
September. 1916, and Prince Eitel es-
tablished his headquarters in the cha
teau of TempleuX la Fosse, about i've
miles from Peronne. After a fortnight's
sojourn there the prince and his staff
were saluted one day by about hun
dred shells. so well aimed that the
evacuation Of the place became ad-
visable.
The next trace of the prince was
AGAIN at the chateau Of Fretoy, where
he established his headquarters, though
he lived at a spacious farmhouse near
by. There he had his sleeping room
