With the American armies in

he used to be frail or strong, the
huskiest chaps on this side of the
line, war agrees with thS American
boy, judging from the solid, healthy
looking specimens you see trudglng
up and down the lines and holding
them. r.
It is series of surprises you have
with the American army, continually
meeting some husky whom you hard
ly recognize because back in the
States he was "that frail little Will
liam Jones'" Under Uncle Sans
care he has grown shoulders of a
football player, and he marches on
a pair of legs twice as stout as they
used to be, and you couldn't call
him William if you had to-his only
name is Bill, now that he has joined
the heavyweight class.
Despite the fears of the family
for the boy, it has done him good to
Join up in Uncle Sans army. His
present healthful condition is due to
a number of causes, not the least of
which physical training he has under
gone to enable him to stand hardship.
The chap who couldn't take GYM
nasium at high school because he had
a weak heart has become doughboy
who thinks nothing of marching all
night with a pack on his back and
then standing guard next day. He
could GO on a patrol the following
night, if they needed him.
Plenty OF Exercise.

Ten minutes later a patrol was

well, I'll be darned; just played
that as an outside bet, and didn't
hope to win," the doughboy coun-
tered, "but I'll sure hang close to
those pigeons from now on"
What happened was that when the
pigeon was released from the Amer

was quickly read, and regimental

within couple of minutes the patrol

In addition to flying in the most
difficult weather, war pigeons have
displayed their stamina and nerve"
by sticking at their work even though
wounded. One pigeon arrived at
certain American cote with a flesh
wound in the breast. Others have
had the closest possible calls by fly

have kept to the air until they

Senator l.. H. Nord OF Koochiching
county, who represents the state SEN
atorial district of K0ochiching and
Beltrami counties, is one of the best
friends Beltrami county ever had,
and every loyal vote will be cast for
him in the coming election, which
means that Beltrami county will
strongly endorse him, as will
Koochiching county.
For the first time, Senator Nord
on Tuesday saw the new Bemidji
normal now in the course of compile
tion in the general contract, he hav-
ing come to Bemidji, and he was
amnzed at the magnificence of the
temple of learning he did so much
to Secure for Beltrami county and
Nofthern Minnesota. 1t was Senator
Norde who fought tooth and nail to
secure the appropriation that in
sured the states sixth normal for
Beltrami county, and he was there
at the finish when the appropriation
passed on that memorable night and
was signed by Governor Burnquist.
He had never seen the normal until
Tuesday and made a special trip. to
look it over, and he promised to
again use his efforts to secure an
appropriation for a new dormitory
at the opportune time.
Drew Famous Bill.
1t was Senator Nord who drew up
and introduced the Nord bill, what
is known as the IT, w. w. Bill"
which thrOttled the lawlessness OF
the l. W. w. pro-Hun propaganda,
the laWlessness and sedition in Min
nesota, and protected the business in
terests and industrial interests of the
state. He was threatened by the
leaders Of that anti-American horde.
two of those who made personal
threats now being in Fort Leaven-
worth. sent to long, terms, by the
United States government. Through
it all he stood for the rights Of in
dustry and the peace Of the peoples
of the state And Bemidji was the
first city in the state to put the new
law into effect. which attracted state
wide and nation wide attention, the
action of Bemidji being in Senator
Nord's own district. And Beltrami
county knows the wholesome effect
such law had had upon the county.
Absolutely Impartial.
Although resident Of Koochiching
county, Senator Nord has been abso-
lutely fair and impartial in his ac-
tivities for his district. He is as
much at home in Beltrami county as
in Koochiching. He has taken full
cogninance of the needs of Beltrami
as well as his own county and has
taken wise action on all problems
that has had to do with the state.
He is classed as one of the most able
men in the entire state legislature
and holds the confidence and deepest
respect of all state officers and lead
ing citizens of Minnesota. He has
been tested in the legislative halls
of the state and has not been found
wanting, and his splendid record of
competency should receive the hearty
endorsement of Beltrami county.

With the American army in
France, Oct. 4. (By Mail. This Is
a specific instance Of how pigeon
saved a mans life.
It happened in the days before the
St. Mihiel salient was wiped out and
while the Americans were holding
the 4-year-old line before Seicheprey
1t was an inky black night. but pat
rolling was necessary and a little
groupe of doughboys crawled over
the parapet, through the wire and out
into No Mans land One of the boys
carried a pigeon basket on his back.
The light wicker carrier fitted be-
tween his shoulders and he scarcely
noticed the weight Of 1t. The man
with the pigeon basket was assigned
to go to the right of the main patrol
body, with the understanding that
the entire unit would meet at speci-
fed place at certain time.
But a barrage came down. The
boche heard the movement and
turned loose artillery. The lone
American was cut off. To escape the
barrage he was compelled to take
cove in a position from which he
knew escape was impossible. A single
American moving there would be
certain to bring outposts upon him.
A stronger force could fight the out
posts off. or possibly get back to the
lines without combat because enemy
outposts would not care to- start
trouble with superior numbers.
The American thought these things
over. Then he thought Of the pigeon
in his basket. He scribbled a note

WAR IS MAKING THE AMERICAN
SOLDIERS MORE HEALTHY LOT

and being tired enough at the end of
the day to drop down and sleep any
where, has been just the thing to in
ure the boy to hardships. He is out
not only in summer when it is plea
SAINT, but in rain and wind, and his
life has made him hard and rugged,
and far better man physically than
when he came to France. jogging
up and down roads on an artillery
caisson, or handling huge truck,
has given the former drug clerk
muscles like those of the bIacksmith's S
apprentice.
The kind of food he has had to eat
has been encouraging too. Good
solid "chow," like beef, beans, pota-
toes, and bread, make man-power,
and they have lots of it in the Ameri-
can army. 1t is served up at regular
intervals, and it builds muscles in the
soldiers arms and legs and makes
him have broader, better filed out
shoulders. They have desert, too,
in this mans army, but instead of
the pies and cakes of peace days, it
is rice pudding, or canned fruit, or
something that the soldier needs.
Then the boy keeps pretty good
habits with the army here in France,
except for his night hours, which he
becomes accustomed to, and which he
makes up with sleep in the daylight
hours when Germans could see him
if he worked. The means of going
even on mild tears" are not at the
doughboy's disposal in the army, and
anyway he is too, busy beating the
Germans to think about anything

BELTRAMI COUNTY
CELERY CROP THRIVES

Albert Smith of Washklsh, who is
fast acquiring fame as a celery grow
er, was a business visitor in Bemidji
Wednesday. Mr.. Smith settled west
of Washkish about ten years ago
and has been making improvements
on his 1876 acres since.
Last year, Mr.. Smith grew 5000
punches of the finest celery ever
grown, but could find no market for
it. This year he grew a very small
amount, and has none for sale.
The business manager of the
Pioner received a fine lot Of this
Beltrami county grown celery and
must confess that it was little the
best he ever tasted. Every stalk in
the bunch was crisp and snappy.
Next year Mr.. Smith will grow about
10000 punches and Bemidji must as
sist him in finding a market.

Summarizing the facts with refer
