He left here a two-hundred-pound inva- lid, hopelessly i'll with diabetes, and was going to the soldiers home to end his days in the orange groves of that home for crippled and agod soldiers and veterans.
 Our informant was seated in a park in the southern city and over- heard heated argument between two men about mining in Alaska. Being mining man, he immediately became interested and heard one, who later proved to be Barton, ex- pounding the richness of Panama mining property to the sceptical one, who doubted that gold could be found as abundantly as claimed by the examining CD man.
 The listener restrained himself as long as possible and then butted in Ito the conversation and clinched the argument in favor of the paystreak
 Further conversation developed that Fred is now living example of the curative properties of Di-beat- all, a patent medicine manufactured from roots and herbs and otber simple ingredients too numerous to mention. He has recovered his health CD so fully that he is now prospecting manager for well-to-do California widow who owns mining property there. and the many days our Hardy Pioneer" spent digging shafts and drifting in the Eagle club rooms and the Fairbanks cigar stores have at last landed him on the paystreak.

AN APPEAL
BELOIT. WIS.

Leymore johnson, a child six years
of age, was recently criminally as
saulted and outrageously abused by
one, Frank Saladino, a young Itali-
an. September 10th the case was call
ed in the Municipal court and for some
reason unexplained at present the ac-
cused was permitted to go and the
case apparently abandoned by the au-
thorities. 1t would seem that this is
fit case for the serious consideration
of all believers of justice and the due
administration of the law. Private
counsel has been employed ana money
is needed to defray expenses.
Now, /, as president of the Coop
erative Development and Progressive
Association Of the State of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby call upon every MEM
Der Of said association and all believ-
ers in fair play and justice to con-
tribute to this expense as it is now i'm
possible to say to what ends i may be
necessary to go to secure the proper
administration Of the law in respect
to this foul crime.
Contributions may be sent to Miss

CARNIVAL ENDS STAY:
BAND RECEIVES $3.50

The largest crowd of the week was
present at the Little Giant shows Sat-
urday night and a nice sum was add
ed to the treasury Of the Twenty-fir first
battalion band to pay it's expenses to
the encampment to be held at Red
Lake during the Chippewa Indian
fair next month. 1t is estimated the
band received $50 as its share of
the receipts for the week.
There is one thing that can truth
fully be said for this carnival COM
pany. 1t doesn't claim to be the lar
gest in the world" but it is the clean
est aggregation ever in Bemidji. 1t
has good attractions, it is clean and
sparkling and it is well manned from
the owner to the humbleSt employe.
The shows are all good, the big fea-
lures are of the best and the con-
cessions are all in charge of well be-
haved and gentlemanly individuals.

MAJOR YOST TAKING
LEAVE IN WASHINGTON

Pending the suspension Of enlist
ments throughout the country, Major
John D. Yost, Minneapolis, head, of
Minnesota recruiting, is taking a ten
days leave and gone to Washington.
The headquarters is in charge of
Lieut.. Da Costa, who has been as
sistant recruiting officer since last
December
Raising the maximum age limit for
enlistment in the United States army
has not resulted in securing very
many recruits. The fact that only men
the ages of 46 and SIS years are now
accepted, means a heavy peprcentage
of reflections. In addition only men
who are qualified by special training
for staff corps are accepted.

You cannot help liking these
chaps who want to. talk Of their
sweethearts. They're always devot-
ed, and they carry pictures with
them, which they always like to show
1t is interesting to see the kind OF
girls they have all picked out, and
they are never just what you expect.
These men usually take a big
broth erly interest in us, and their at
tention is sometimes amusing. I've
had~as many as five lectures from
different "big brothers" in one day,
all of them keen to advise us.

Usually, these "tbig fbrothers tell us
to go home. They say it is no place
for us, SO near the lines, though they
all tell us how much they enjoy hav-
ing us there, and how much they like
douglnuts. But they would rather
have us home, they say, and get along
without doughnuts.
But we think otherwise. We want
to stay.

we were ever discouraged, it was
then. Irene and i were both enthu-
siastic to get a new hut started, but
we could not forget the friends we
had left, and who were to go soon to
a far more dangerous part of the line
We still miss them terribly, but a
very few days has shown us that
there there are prospective ''big
brothers" everywhere. - We had
! scarcely moved into our new quarters
when the most fatherly gray-haired
old colonel you ever saw came in to
see us He offered us any help at his
command, and comes in twice every
| day to see that all is going well. He
is almost too fatherly in the way he
| hovers over us, for he puts restric-
tions on where we can go. But they
are for our good, and we appreciate
| his interest. A sergeant soon turned
up with a wife at home and a fac
! ulty for housework, and ''big broth
ers' are growing in number. Amer
leans are pretty gen nerally of the "big
| brother'' type, we have found.

permanently, usually just long
enough to make a bunch OF good

We have almost decided that it

that they are not wonderful to have

. hard to see them go, especially when
you know the danger they are in
all the time. ~..%
It's strange the way we make
friends out here, anyway. When
a new outfit comes in town, we are
always feeling as though the bottom
has dropped out of things, naturally,
because our old friends have pulled
out the night before. Then few of
the new ones will drop around the
kitchen, and ask if there is anything
they can do to help us.
That is where friends are first
made, usually, in the kitchen or at
the woodpile. Sometimes it's over
the stove, where the boys ask us to
let them dip doughnuts. Then there
is usually gradual growth without
any effort on anyone's part, and
some acquaintance become friends
