IF YOU have an invalid friend, you
can make her a garden that she will
enjoy for very little money. Buy
small goldfish bowl and have a
piece of glass to fit over the top.
Then go out into the woods and get
piece of moss for the bottom and
find a small plant or tiny fern and
set it out in the moss or plant mas
turtium seed. The moisture from the
plant will keep it growing; there will
be no need to water it, and the in
valid can have her little garden right
near the bed, can even take it in her
hands and watch it grow. 1t will be
q 10y for weeks.

"SERG'T." HUBERT MUST '
FACE COURT MARTIAL:
TAKEN TO Fl. SMELLING

Frank Hubert, erstwhile "ser-
geant" of the regular army, was to-
day taken from Bemidji to Fort
Smelling by sergeant, sent to take
him back, on a charge Of desertion.
Hubert's case has furnished many
complexities since he reached Be-
midi from Fort Riley without the
necessary permit.
At one time he was member of
the Bemidji naval militia but was
discharged. He enlisted in the army
later. A few months ago .he put
in an appearance in Bemidji wear
ing sergeant's cheverons and
leather puttees, which he had pur-
chased to make a flash" For some
time he cut quite swath with the
fair sex, but he continued to veal
his uniform, which later attracted
some attention and inquiries failed
to reveal satisfactory answers. Ar
investigation was started and HUI
bert was arrested and held, the mill
tary authorities being notified.
Hubert told seve4af conflicting
tales but the facts came out and he
will now face a court martial, with
federal penitentiary sentence star.

1.-THE PIONEER" DELIVERS;
SECURES A fine HOME
FOR BRIGHT BABY BOY

That the "Pionee1 delivers the
goods" was never better exemplified
than when it co-operated with DR..
Shannon, city health physician, and
found fine home for 10-days-old
boy.
The little chap has been taken by a
most estimable couple in the Fifth
ward. The head of the family Is a
railroad employe, they have good
and wholesome home and will give
the small man a chance to grow in
to a good and useful citizen.
DR.. Shannon asked the editor of
the Pioneer to help find him a good
home for the boy. 1t was done in
Saturdays Pioneer. Before DR..
Shannon had time to read his copy
two calls reached him. Four more
came at frequent intervals and the
little one had no difficulty in flnd-
ing some one to love him and give
him chance in this big old world.

Wage Farmers
Are Patriots,
SaysReyno|ds

One can't tell a patriot by what
he does at his daily duties nor by
his appearance, according to Harry
E. Reynolds, federal food director
for Beltrami county, and this is the
way he analyses that assertions:
1t is against. the policy of the gov
ernment to hoard up foodstuffs to
the exclusion and suffering of tthers,
but this practice has been in vogue
throughout the United States and
also right here in Bemid5.- A. few
days ago in the Pioneer appeared
a request by Mr.. Reynolds for all
who had stocks 'hOarded to turn them
! over, except what was needed for
! immediate wants.
When prices commenced to mount,
many wage earners and laboring men
of Bemidji took advantage of the
soaring prices and laid in supplies
to save their hard earned money, and
when the mandate was issued they
realized they were included and
they have manfully and patriotically
let it be known that they were
housing an excess. The result is
that over two t. ms of -four and over
$50 pounds Of sugar have been placed
at the disposal of the food director,
"There are some persons in Be-
midi of whom l have reports on as
boarding that are known promin-
emily" remarked Mr.. Reynolds, "and
they are keeping awfully still. But
it shows who the real patriots are.
they will be attended to. However,
1t isn't the family with the money
that always is"
