Bemidji is making plans to meet
some of the fastest teams in the
northern part of the state during the
coming weeks and the showing made
in the game against Grand Forks
Sunday was excellent, considering 1t
was the second game for the locals
and that several new men were in the
game. Taylor, the pitcher, is con-
sidered one of the best men that has
ever stepped upon the mound in the
Bemdiji diamond and Cushman, the
catcher, has demonstrated himself to
be a good player. The tight and
fast fielding in the Sunday game
against the Grand Forks team was a
feature Of the contest. = &

DEMOCRATS TO DODGE.
PROHIBITION PLANK
(By United Press)

San Francisco, June 14.-Leaders
of the Democratic party who are
early arrivals for the national con-
vention are casting about for means
to check down the sentiment for re-
peal Of drastic prohibition laws. In
the rule requiring two-tbirds ma
pority to nominate, they probably
see their most effective weapon to
prevent an organized effort to make
democratic party the champion Of the
vets. Governor Edwards, Of New
Jersey, is expected here ahead Of the
other candidates for nomination.

in it for their notice.. And at times
a kindly policeman should saunter by,
to see to it that the rules are read.
Long Lake is quite popular canoe
thoroughfare from now on and at
times it is quite embarrassing to
some who pass up and down on. ac-
count of a lack of proper swimming
apparel on the part of score or
more of youngsters who are not
canoeing. A small house and few
rules will correct this as nothing else
win. The lads will swim. Then
why not have them do it correctly?
There is a fine place there for a
house of this kind to be built. Sandy
Point is too far away for de gang
to go to. They will swim anywhere
they can find place to dive off of.
This beautiful waterfront belongs
to all of US to enjoy. A bath house
would conf1ne the swimming to the
one point where it could be regulated
as it should be. Build the house for
the boys and girls and, if need be,
provide them swimming instructor
The art of swimming should be one
of the things taught in our public
schools or otherwise. It may save
the life of your boy or mine. To
know how to swim gives one feel
ing of safety when out on the water
| in a boat. It takes away that fear
of the water. Learn the boy and CIR
to swim. Once learned, it is never
forgotten, like skating. But build

About all Tom Frankson will get
out of running for governor is pair
of sore feet.
Now that the men are wearing
overalls the women ought to do their
part by using whitewash in place Of
talcum
A Baudette minister recently
preached two hours on the subject
"Why Don't Men Go to Church,"
That's one reason.
Women who have been hollering
because they have nothing to wear
should cease their grumbling. They'll
soon be in style.
A woman in neighboring town
hit man with soft drink bottle. A
soft drink bottle is just as hard as
any other kind of bottle.
At last everybody has discovered
who is doing the profteering. It is
the other fellow.
Noonan of the Baudette Region is
trying to get back into the graces Of
the modern girl. He comes to their
defence with the statement that they
show more backbone than the old
fashioned girl.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
It looks as if julius Schmahl has
shot his bolt, but its different with
Tom Franksen. Tom never had one
to shoot.
You can't always tell man by his
clothes. A lad with a hundred dol
lar suit may not be bricklayer after
all.
Those ten mile overall parades in
the cities are probably being organ
lied by the shoe dealers.
The overall lads are great econo-
mixers. They are wearing three dol
lar overalls and eight dollar shirts.
Well somebody has to wear over
alls. The working men don't wear
'em any more.
The progeny of single fly during
the summer amounts to 1,427 1874,
says an exchange, and we hate to con-
template what might happen if the
pest got married-Bemidji Sentinel.

reduce the awful price of awful lick

for nothing roads with good roads for
nothing. Vote for it.

A thing that would add greatly to
the dignity of Long Lake this sum-
mer and other summers, would be a
bathing house for the youngsters. It
certainly is needed and should be
built. Every boy who is normally
built learns to swim. Dad learned
and he knows that Sonny will and
should. There are lot of lads who
each summer never get far from the
lake during their vacation days.
They get tanned as brown as a hazel
nut and this is why a bath house
should be built for them. A bath
house should be built for them and
tsw simple and plain rules hung up

We are reputed as being the rich
est country on earth. And that Is
something to brag about. Riches do
not come to one through inertia or
lounge lizard tactics. We are a ma
ton of hustlers, and we have grown
rich to disgutedness in consequence.
We also are long on troubles of our
own today as well as in money mat
tiers. And many of US are getting
short on perspiration. Nine-tenths
of US are now noli-producers and the
other one-tenth crazy to join the old
never-sweat club. Until the last
mothers son of us gets busy on pro-
duction of some kind-work, we are
always going to have trouble, strikes,
high prices and still further shrink
age of our dollar. We may be the
richest country in the world, but we
are arriving at a point where we
must all go to work at something
The high cost of living will never
equalize itself until we each become
producers of the necessities instead
of just being barnacles and leeches
upon the world at large. The old
world owes you and l nothing until
we earn it. We must buy our living
with our work. We are ALL con-
sumers; we must all eat. Then why
should work to feed some parasite
who never works? 1t is our bound
en- duty for all of us to work-to pro-
duee something. The recent order
from the government which read,
work or Fight" should never have
been rescinded. 1t might have been
changed to read-"Work or Starve."
Do something. Be a producer of
something useful Money should
not disqualify one from work or an
Honorable occupation of some kind.

The great scarcity of homes over
the world is beginning to be felt
more acutely as the days pass. What
Is needed the most, apparently by
the many complaints one reads of is
home where the "No Children
sign is never hung out. This old
world needs builder of homes for
rent who was once a kid himself.
Someone can grow rich by building
homes where, a nice sand pile can be
used and dandy old mud puddle can
be reached on the premises. A
home with shade trees and swings in
the front yard. Rooms in the house
where the boy and girl of the family
may entertain their boy and girl
friends. Make it real home, not
a gilded sham. And Dad should be
encouraged and helped to own such
home. The home owner is our
solid citizen and he is to be given the
glad mitt. He is the real backbone
OF. our country and ought to be aided
in every way in maintaining his po-
sition in the world as such. Get
the blue prints ready for a regular
home for children and not poodle
dogs, and our word for it the house
need not be advertised "for rent"

Last week the manual training
classes were given an interesting
talk on the conservation Of lumber.
The prices of quarter sawed white
oak and other lumber have increased
double from what they were a year
ago and pay what price you may the
lumber cannot be secured. Special
emphasis was laid on the difference
between being stingy and making
your stock go as far as possible or
in other words fit your lumber to
your job. The saving of lumber
has been brought about in many
ways. One way in which q lot of
scrap stock was used was by design
ing a bird house that could be made
from odds and ends. The grade pu-
pills are now constructing these bird
houses and it can be imagined what
enjoyment both the birds and the
young folks will get out Of them.
This conservation not only applies
to lumber but to all other things
as iron, steel, electricity, oil, etc.
