IF THE WOOD IS IN
THE She'd
BY C. A. Stout.

(Bemid5i Rural Route No. A.
When the summer days are over
And the grain is in the bin,
And the winter blasts are blowing,
Till they pierce the toughest skin;
When you're sitting by the fire
You have nothing then to dread;
When the frost is on the windows
If the wood is in the shed.
When you hear the timber cracking
In the forest, day and night,
And there's fifteen hours darkness
While there's only nine Of light;
Then you need not fret and worry
AS you calmly lie in bed;
When the frost is on the windows,
If the wood is in the shed.
When the miners all are striking
And there's shortage in the coal,
And the prices still keep rising
Till they reach the highest goal;
Then your heart is filled with glad
ness,
If you're even half way fed,
When the frost is on the windows,
If the wood is in the shed.

CHANGE IN DATES OF
LEG0NS OPENING GAME

Owing to the fact that the train
men will give a New Years ball at
the Armory New. Years night, the
dates of the two basket ball games
between the Bemidji American
Legion team and a Legion team of
Cleveland, Ohio, will be filled Janu-
ary and 3.
No reply has been received as yet
from the Cleveland aggregation,
which is now playing in the Twin
Cities, but 1t is believed these dates
will be satisfactory.
The Cleveland team is reputed to
be exceptionally strong and these

Wonderful Menus Supplied to
Worthy Families by the
Salvation Army
CITY LIVERY DONATES
TEAMS FOR DELIVERY
Many Homes Will Be Glad
ened Christmas Day in
Christ's Name

Over thirty boxes of Christmas
foods were delivered today to des-
titute and needy families of this COM
munity by the local post Of the Sal
vation Army with the aid Of the
City Livery, which donated teams for
that purpose.
In years heretofore, baskets have
been used for delivering the goodies,
but this year boxes are being used,
as it makes less work for the Saliva
ton Army as the boxes will not have
to be collected afterward.
Generous Menu.
Each box contains a three pound
beef roast, potatoes, onions, carrots,
turnips, coffee, corn, milk, tomatoes,
peas, apples, three loaves Of bread,
peanuts, candy, breakfast food, pre-
serves, cabbage, nut butter, beans
and jelly. A Christmas issue of the
War Cry is inclosed in each box.
Without a doubt these boxes are
the best ever prepared by the local
post and contain more good foods
than ever before. The post has been
far-reaching in its work this year
and boxes are being widely distribut-
ed, several being sent out to families
residing along the Cass Lake road as
we'll as IN Nymore and near the
county farm.
Donations Small.
The donations received in the ket-
ties on street corners have been very
small this year. Captain Orchard Of
the Salvation Army states that these
kettles will be left out all day tomor-
row and the money which is collected
then will be used toward financing a
poor children's Christmas tree, which
he is planning for New Years day.
There is great need of children's
clothing and it is hoped that after
Christmas day many useful articles
of clothing for the kiddies will be
turned over to the post. To date the
dona tions in this line have been
rather slow.

FORMER SOLDIERS
RETURN TO FARMS

I Washington, May 3l.-Contrary t,
despalring reports from soldiers EN-
ployment bureaus, the majority of sol
dlers who entered the army from tn,
farms are returning to them prompt,
ON their release from military duty
according to farm help specialists Of
the department of agriculture.
The department admits that there l.
still no indication of a decided move
ment back to the farm by men who
were attracted from food production
work by high wages in industrial pur
suits. 1t asserts, however, that careful
surveys made in army camps by the
department s farm help specialists fur
nlsh ample proof to refute statements
that from IS to 80 per cent of the
men who were called by the army from
the farms are not returning to them.
In Virginia camp the specialists
found that during the first three weeks
In April 9S.2 per cent of such men dis
charged actually returned to the farms.
During the week ending April 5, the
specialists interviewed 2,O2l men at
this camp.
1t was found that 933 were from
farms and that all but 15 of that num-
ber intended to return. During the fol
lowing week 2,1Os men were inter
viewed. 1t was found that 69l were
from farms and all but IA intended to
return. The next week ZIG men were
interviewed. OF this number 364 had
formerly been employed on farms and
all but S intended to return. Two per
cent of the men discharged and who
were not farming when they entered
the army intended to take up farming.
OF the LOS per cent of the soldiers
who had been on farms previously to
entering the army and who did not in
tend to return, the reason given by l
per cent was that the men wer dis
abled and therefore unable to do heavy
farm work. At least half of this mum
