1 ' copies-it will and not be-
cause it is by Gene Stratton- Porter
90 we give over the front page to-day
to A Daughter of the Land; but be-
cause on her fiftieth birthday, which
was yesterday, there was published
this seventh of Mrs. Porter's novels,
her biggest, her best. The seventh
child is lucky, but this seventh novel
child Is more than lucky, it is blessed
with greatness. A Daughter of the
Land is as near the great American
novel as we shall get in this genera
ton, and we wish to emphasize both
adjectives. 1t is as great as it is
American and it is American through
and through.
Big-boned, big-muscled, strong,
charged with human nature, centred
about a heroine as big and clean and
fine and strong as an American wom-
an can be, this book has about it all
the splendid courage Of Kate Bates,
whose story it tells. 1t is crowded
with incident, with detail, with the
emotions of a whole lifetime; it is an
American epic, a saga of the middle
West, a history of growth and song
Of triumphant achievement. 1t has
no literary values, thank God; there
are no literary values, people, there
are only life's values! We have been
on the wrong tack, too, too many of
Us. 1t is time we found it out. It
is time we had the courage of our con-
'victions. The courage of our convic-
tionsi Bah! when have we had con-
victionsi Let get some! Let s get
some of our own, announce them and
stand by them!
The absolute sincerity of Gene
Stratton-Porter, her honesty, her I'M
spoiled and fresh look upon life, are
what have taken her to the clean and
decent hearts Of the hundreds of
thousands who do not persuade them
selves that they like thing because it

The Sons of the Land.
Remember if you will, that it is the sons of these
people these brave and blunt women like Kate
Bates, who hold the line in France to-day These
are the boys who can see life clearly and see it
whole These are the youths who grip bayo-
net and go forward with mighty cheer and cry
because they know that there is a Right in the
world and Wrong in the world and that they are
to give their lives if need be to serve the Right
And back home, on the Indiana farms, on the New
York farms, on the New England farms, on the
California ranches and on Southern plantations
their mothers the Kate Bateses, the TALL fine look
ing, strong and healthy women who can husk corn
in the fields and cook without wheat in the kitch
ems, who can work, fight and pray in one breath.
These are the boys and these the mothers that Gene

about.

Kate did not realize all of that

life she let George Holt marry her.

COULDN'T YOU HELP !.
SALVATION ARMY BRING
CHRISTMAS TO HOMES?

If you were a young girl and
member of a family of nine, with
your father unable to work on ac-
count of sickness, and you were the
only one of the family large enough
to work and was struggling in
manufacturing plant in brave at
tempt to provide food for little broth
ers and sisters, sick father and the
faithful mother, wouldn't you be
grateful if generous persons more
fortunate could bring ray of SUM-
shine into the stricken home on a
Christmas day, that Santa Claus
would not become a vauge being?
Wouldn't you?
That is one of the problems that
is confron ting the Salvation Army Of
Bemidji in it's efforts to brighten the
homes of twenty-four families to
whom the coming of Christmas. seems
like a hollow mockery.
That is why the Salvation Army
has it's Christmas kettle in the busi-
ness district, that the gloom for these
may be dispelled for the Day Of Days.
Couldn't you at least help in this
work? Couldn't you at least help
your bit? Your Christmas would
seem brighter, knowing that you had
helped make a ,shadowed home and
its children realize that the Coming
of Christ held something for all.

CHRISTMAS BURGLARY
AT GIVEN HARDWARE:
LOOKS LIKE BOYS WORK

What appears to have been the
work of boys, or, perhaps assisted by
one larger, was burglary committed
last night at the hardware store OF
Given Bros, on Minnesota avenue.
The only things missing are several
sets of erectors, used by children to
put together while at play and one
pocket knife.
Entrance was made early in the
evening by forcing door of the
warehouse adjoining the rear of the
store. A large augur was then used
by which holes were bored through
the connecting door to the store,
making an aperture only few inches
square. Through this an arm. II lone
enough, could be thrust and bolt
unfastened inside. The stolen arti'
cIes were in the front display win
dow and had evidently attracted the
attention of Juveniles. Skates near
by were untouched as were also other
articles of play for children.
The discovery was made between
7 and 8 o'clock by Mr.. and Mrs. r. l..
Given. who stopped at the store for
stamps prior to attending a motion
picture show.

EPISCOPAL MINISTER HAPPY IN
TH0UGHTOF CHRISTIAN BURIAL

In giving an account of the annual
meeting of the Baptist church con
gregation, 1t was chronicled that DR.
e. r. Pope of Minneapolis, super
intendent of state missions, read
letter from the commander OF an
aviation squadron in France to Rev,
Thomas Broomfield of Portland, Ore,
a former pastor of the Baptist church
in Bemidji, telling of the death OF
his son, Lieut.. Hugh Broomfield, who
was bantized in the Bemidji church
when his father was pastor here. The
icommandant said priest read the
Episcopal service over the dead
aviator, whos was the son Of a Bap-
tist minister, and spoke Of the act in
the highest terms, showing the com
mon ground of all creeds on the
crimson fields of battle.
Father Philippe of the Catholic
church of Bemidji took exception to
the incident as narrated from the
letter and so stated, in published
statement, questioning its authen-
ITCHY.
Anent the story and the exception
taken, Rev. George Backhurst, pastor
of the Bemidji Episcopal church, ex-
presses himself as follows:
''It ought not to be difficult
matter to obtain the name of the
priest who read the Episcopal burial
service over the son of a Baptist
minister The mere statement that
the priest used the Episcopal service,
shows that the act was little out
Of the ordinary, which would not be

RedCrOSSRoI|
! Call Showing
Fine Support

The Christmas roll call of the
South Beltrami county chapter Of
the American Red Cross is showing
splendid results, indicating that the
people of Bemidji are still heart and
soul in the spirit of seeing through
the splendid work Of the Red Cross
in the great war, which has ceased
by the arnistice.
Bemidji is showing her loyalty in
the great drive by liberal support IN
renewal of memberships and of join
ing in answering the call, and 1t costs
only a dollar in either instance. II
the Red Cross magazine is desired
for a year, another dollar is needed.
Over seven hundred in Bemidji
have thus far answered the call for
1919 membership, either renewals or
as new members, and there are yet
three DAYS to hear from. Several
groups of employees have signified
their intention to add their names to
the roll of members, while branch
chapters are certain to send in new
memberships and renewals of mem
bership.
There is yet much to do for the
Red Cross in Europe and in the
United States. When our boys re-
turn it will be a great work on the
part of the Red Cross to take part
in looking after their interests and
those of their families. There Is
much hospital work in the war strlc'
ken countries. AS the American
armies of occupation bring peace tt
the chaotic nations so follows the Rec
Cross in it's field of humanity ane
succor.
It needs only a heart and a dollar
to aid in this gigantic task. The wal
| is over and the sooner conditions
are again settled the sooner will the
world smile in gladness.

VITAL MATTERS CONCERNING
CHIPPEWAS TO Be DISCUSSED

education afforded them in grade
schools have made thousands into in
telligent and we'll worth men and
young men, while the girls and many
of their elders are as talented and as
capable in every direction as others,
and are entitled to rank with their
sex in the United States.
A point at stake was when the
army was mobolized thousands OF
alien draftees were made full citi-
zens by the issuance of an order and
simple ceremony, while the Indians
in the service, it is stated, did not
come under that rule.
Another important matter to be
brought I'D is that of segregation of
the tribal funds of the Minnesota
Chippewas, also in relation to the
granting of citizenship. 1t is, that
should an Indian be able to convince
district Judge of his qualifications
for citizenship he would be entitled
to his allotment of the fund and
thereafter disclaim any further
rights of benefits under the govern
ment. This. it is also believed would
have tendency for the Indians to
study and work diligently to attain
this desire. -:
Of course the "old timers would
still stay in their present status, but
with the coming of years, there
would be gradual amalgation on the
part of the Indians with their broth
ers and government reservations
would cease to exist, and the Indians
take their places as full American
citizens, energetic and progressive.
