AND GIRLS CLUB WORK
SHOWS FINE RESULTS
i.
::Shevlin Carries OF Several
Prize. at County Fair
in Bagley
Especial to PiOneer.)


Shevlin, Nov 1.-During. the last
two years, Clearwater county has
shown remarkable results in the
Boys and Girls club work under the
direction of Earl aMrtin, county
agent of Bagley. A year ago Clear
water county claimed the second best
bread baker in the state. This year,
results are also fine.
For the past two years Shevlin has
sent canning team to the state fair.
This year the team consisted of Myr-
tie Gordon, Clara Renne and Lillian
Skarolid. In preparing for. the con-
test the girls did a very creditable
amount of home canning. Myrtle
Gordon canned 1O3 cans, Clara Renne
1O1, and Lillian Skarolid 102. At
the fair, these girls won 18th place
out of so teams, which is fine rec
ord. ~
Clara Renne also baked bread at
the fair and won seventh place in
the state.
John Gordon, Jr., Of Shevlin won
second place in the pig contest in
Clearwater county. This pig was
shown at the county fair held in Bag
ley this fall.
Shevlin is extremely proud of the
fact that it holds the first prize win
ner In the potato contest in this
county. Alma. Kildal won first prize
at the county fair held at Bagley this
fall. She raised 81 bushels on an
eighth of an acre, which is an ex-
tremely remarkable yield. These po-
tatoes were all russets:
Considering the records the club
members attained, Shevlin is very
proud of them and wish them al!
kinds of success in their future ef-
forts.

BITTERLY OPPOSED TO
PROPAGANDA OF UNREST
Says Human Pests Should
:. Be Suppressed; Personal
Notes of Interest -

(SDecial to PiOneer.)

Clearbrook, Nov. Swat the hu-
man termite! You ask what Is a ter
mite? A noted entomologist has de-
scribed termites as follows: Blind,
pallid, creeping, Shiny things that
shun the light, seek the shelter OF
night and concealment, destroy the
strongest fabrics and are repeliant
and abhorrent. Tear down one or
their gathering places and you turn
:suddering from the twisting, squirm-
ing, revolving multitudes of them.
Many insects serve purpose in the
vast sociolagry of living things. But
no one has ever found good purpose
which the termite serves" Taken as
a whole this description appears to
cover as a whole the human term1tes
known as professional agitators, who
make it profession to teach unrest
and class hatred, which has no place
in our society of high ideals. If the
United States are to remain a free
republic as heretofore, these human
pests, or more correctly termed "ter-
mites" must be checked and society
protected against their rawlings, from
within and without.
c. E.. Ken knight, from west of
here, has purchased the original Ole:
Jacobson homestead, in town Of
Greenwood, from Pete Clausen, and
taken possession Of the same.
Edward Bierbaum has purchased
fine quarter section of land just
south of Herman C.. Rydeen in Leon.
It is a splendid tract upon which Mr..
Bierbaum intends to ranch a bunch
Of sheep. He will have it fenced in
the spring with woven wire fence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin Aurdahl have
moved to Bemidji.
Mr.. Cline of Candy, Mimi, is here
looking over his real estate holdings
in Sinclair township.
The "Kreds" for the Norwegian
Lutheran church of America will
meet here next week, and open on
Tuesday and continue for four days.
Mark and vernie Russell has rent
ed the Oscar Nelson farm for next
year, just west of town.
A fine shipment of croppies arrived
here last week in charge OF the Game
club at this place. They were plant
ed in SteenersOn's lake just south OF
town. They where sent shipped here
from Detroit.
According to the Leader, Miss Jen-
ME Kloster has arrived home from
Fargo, N. D., q: few days ago, with 2
month old war orphan, which she
has adopted, with her parents con-
Ssxent. Who says Clearwater county
girls are not patriotic?
Walter Nelson will be the new
manager OF the Weme store. Walter
will make a fine merchant.
So many negroes have been killed
in Arkansas race riots that we fear
the contemplating industry will suf-
for. Before picking anoth her crop
farmers should gather up stat1ctics
from the race riots and see what the
prospects of getting another cotton
crop picked will be. Reduced to
necessity cotton acreage may be re-
duced.
