REVOLUTIONS ARE VAIN
AS A PRETTY WOMAN
BY JOSEPH SHAPLEN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, Sept. 5.-Revolutions
are as capricious as pretty woman.
They can throw a people into ecsta-
cies of JOY and fits of despair. They
bring out the noblest and basest in
man. That is just exactly what the
Russian revolution has done to the
Russian people.
When one arrived in Petrograd last
January he found mobs of civilians
and soldiery smashing and robbing
wine cellars and getting beastly
drunk. The unkindest cut of all dealt
by the revolution to the old court
canlarilla, / suppose, must have been
the$looting Of the wonderful wine eel
lars of the winter palace. They were
wild, dangerous mobs that worked
in Petrograd in those Qecemb' ' and
January days. They showed particu-
lar rsa,preference for wine. and cham,
pagne stored by the Romanoffs for
the entertainment of the Rasputins.
But that would not have been half so
bad. The bolsheviki handled the
mobs on this score quite easily, al ..
though in one case, l remember, there
were no less than 1876 calls for help
received at Smolny at one day, the
day when the wine cellar smashing
beat all records.
1t was on that day, however, that
the mob turned from the smashing
of wine cellars to the smashing of the
former Czarina's private chambers
and the wonderful works of art In
the palace. Here was typical, wild
mob of the French Revolution. 1t
+was disgusting, abhorrent, repulslve
to see that mob at work.,
About six month later-during the
May first demonstration-I met the
same mob in one of the magnificent
bathrooms of the Winter Palace
There was something quite different
written on those faces. There was
ecstacy and expectation. These peo-
pie had been marching several hours,
with red banners, singing songs of
freedom, brotherhood and the In terna-
tionale. They were all half starved,
but there was marvellous, sign1f1-
cant fire in those eyes. l marvelled
was puzzled until from a neighbor-
ing room suddenly heard the strains
of wonderful music. 1t was the IA
nous Petrograd conductor. Kouts,
leading his orchestra. The smashers
of wine cellars sat motionless, en-
chanted. I suddenly understood.
They were listening to the sweet
strains of the Requiem of Mozart.

SPECIAL AUTO
SERVICE T0.BE
lNAUCURAIED
FOR FARMERS \ :;||
Bemidji Merchants Will Place
Their Cars at Disposal Of
4: 4 .z farmers in Need !,
DENU, HEAD or, MOTOR
CORPS, IS CHAIRMAN
In Case of Machinery Mishap,
Phone, and Car Will Be
Sent Out with Order

At the regular meeting Of the Com
mercial club held Wednesday noon a
special auto service was inaugurated
for the benefit of the farmer. The
idea was suggested by G. w. Harm
we'll Of the St Hilaire Retail Lumber
company. :: . - 5>l
The plan is to have cars in readi-
ness in case farmers, during the rush
seasons, need anything in hurry.
If a farmer breaks piece of machin-
cry all he has to do is to telephone
headquarters in Bemidji and a car
will bring it to him, thus saving,
perhaps, days work for the farmer
with his team. If he needs an
.sxtra piece of machinery or some
tools or itwine or anything needed in
a hurry to keep his force on the farm
moving, he has but to telephone.
A. Denu Is Chairman.
E. H. 7Denu, head of the Motor
Corps division, has been named
chairman of this new feature. He
/ has volunteered the services Of motor
corps members when possible and
invites all who wish to offer such
services to leave their names with
him. s& y. >'. r. %:s....l..7 !.
Farmers who desire to make use
of this new organization are asked
to call E. H. TDenu at the Pioneer
office, telephone 922, and state their
needs to him. If he is not there
someone in the -offic will look after
it,: If the farmer wishes to order his
needs or goods, he is to advise Mr..
Denu where. they may be collected.
If he wishes the purchase made the
farmer may desigante the place, and
the matter will be attended to. =.
(, =. /. No Abuse Expected.
In eastern localities, where such
service has been offered by one con-
Germ in a town, the service has been
abused at times, the concern having
been called out for some needless
little thing. This, however, is not
in this locality, where all
Farmers are most appreciative.
Come on, boys on the farm, make
use of this: service. See what kind
of cooperation, the merchant can
give and how willing he will give it.
Go tc your nearest neighbor and tele-
phone if you have none of your own.
The business men want to help all
they can and it's up to you to give
them the opportunity.
