VERNDALE AND BEMIDl
EACH TOOK one GAME in
H0ILY CONTESTED SERIES
Visitors Won. on Sunday by 2
!! I, TO. S Tally but Locals
5 Came Back 8 to 1

* Ina two-game series between Vern-
dale and Bemidji, played on Sunday
and Monday at the local ball park,
each team took one game, the first
going to the visitors by a z to S score
and the second to Bemidji by 8 to /.
Both contests drew an extra large at
tendence and much enthusiasm was
shown on each, occasion by the spec
tators. -,
p The Sunday game was started badly
by Bemidji, but Krank, who, held the
pitchers box for only part of the
first Inning was relieved by Boman.
Then there appeared a different out
look gto the battle. The game pro-
crossed evenly up to the last of the
seventh, when the locals scored four
runs in rapid fire order. The first Of
the eighth marked up four runs for
the visitors, putting them in the lead
by one point. Another run ia the
last inning gave Verndale lead of
two and Bemidji was unable to over
come this. A number of arguments
arose among the players over de-
cisions and the like and in most cases
the final settlement was made in favor
of the Verndale outfit, who appeared
rather ,indisposed to play unless grant
ed tho ownsway. -.
kJ y "A TaylorSfilled the pitchers box
in yesterdays game for Benidji and
Frank completed the battery which
held the visitors down to one run.
No scoring was done after the fourth
inning and the entire game was feat
ured by exceptionally tight playing.
The locals won the $25 prize put up
in connection with the independence
day celebration. Neither side was
successful in taking the prize for the
first Aome-run Of the Sunday game.
Bemidji has at last brought together
q bunch Of first class ball players who
are in a position to meet the best
teams in this section Of the state.

RE. MILLER RETURNS
FROM MoOSEHEART

R. E. Miller returned last week
from Mooseheart, ILL.,, where he took
part in the convention held by the
Loyal Order of Moose as representa-
tive from Bemidji Lodge L. o. o. M.
Mr.. Miller reports that the meeting
held at Mooseheart was a remarkable
revelation to him of what was being
done in all fraternal way for the
orphan children. When members Of
the order die, leaving dependent chill
dren, the Moose lodge steps in and
gives the children a home and an edu-
cation, both of which are the best.
At present $40 homeless boys and
girls are being grown into useful man
and womanhood. The Moose are pre-
pared to give them high school educa-
lions and each child may select a trade
out of the twenty vocational courses
taught.
All buildings are fireproof, sanitary
and safe for children. All permanent
buildings are made of concrete block
and the rooms are bright, sunny and
scrupulously clean. The concrete
blocks are made by Mooseheart stu
dents under expert direction. They
build their own homes and at the
same time learn useful trade.
During the convention the $685.
600 Philadelphia Memorial hospital,
given by the Philadelphia lodge and
built of the famous Mooseheart con-
crete block, was dedicated. Funds
were secured for five additional
buildings. There were many inter-
esting addresses, among which was
one by Ambassador Sharp, who repre-
sents the United States government
in France.

the tent was full, and last night it
was well filled again in spite of the
many distractions Of the day. The
evangelist gave compelling pre-
sentation of prayer as the key that
unlocks the Kingdom of Heaven to
mems souls.
Sunday evening Mr.. Weigle spoke
on the subject: "John the Trail
Blazer" taking his text from the
word Of Matth. $40: 'And now also
the axe is laid unto the root Of trees,
therefore every tree which bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire."
"When John the Baptist came up
out Of the wilderness and called the
people to repentance he was blazing
the way for Jesus. He was prepar-
ing the way for the greatest revival
the world has ever known. People
were sick Of the religious sham and
humbuggery that prevailed and lis
tened eagerly to the message Of man
who feared no one but God. So they
came out in great crowds and camped
on the banks of the Jordan.
Like a pioneer blazing a trail
through the forest, John came with
the broad axe Of Gods truth and laid
it at the root of the trees. He got
down where the sinners lived and told
them to either get right with God or
they would go to hell: Assured Of
the fact that God had sent him he
was not to be turned aside either by
threats or flattery.
John the Baptist was Gods man;
He had but one mission on earth and
that was to awaken the sleeping sin
ners both in and out of the church,
and he certainly worked on the JOB.
He made no distinction between the
sinners outside. "The only difference
between a sinner outside the church,"
said Mr.. Weigle, "and the sinner in
the church is this: The sinner out.
side the church is going to He'll and
the sinner in the church," and paus-
ing for moment he said, lis going to
He'll"
You say John the Baptist was SEN

T. S. Thompson Has Estab-
lished Record During His
Four Years at Kelliher

T. S. Thompson, superintendent of
school at Kelliher during the past
four years, will go to Badger, Roseau
county, next year. This move is in
line of promotion for Mr.. Thompson,
who has been one of our most sue
cessful superintendent.
Mr.. Thompson was a pioneer home
steader in this county, in Shotley
township, coming from the southern
part of the state. While holding down
his claim, he taught in the nearby
schools, and was the first principal
at Saum, one of the early consoli-
dated schools. He came to Bemidji
in 1913 as assistant county superin-
tendent, remaining in that position
several years.
Mr.. Thompson took charge Of the
Kelliher school in 1915. The school
up to this time had not made much
progress, and no principal had re-
manned more than two years. There
had been no we'll defined policy in
school progress. The school during
the past four years has made remark
able progress. There is now full
high school course Of four years, and
during the past two years there have
been graduating classes. A school
spirit has grown up and the building
and grounds have been improved,
making it one of the best consoli-
dated schools in the state. Mr..
Thompson deserves much credit for
these improvements, as he has always
been a hard worker where school
affairs needed his attention.
Beltrami county loses good school
man and Badger is to be congratu-
lated in getting Mr.. Thompson.
