Several months ago Russian litera.

loss through the death Of Vladimir
+ Calaktionovieh Korolenko, one Of the
greatest of modern Russian masters
OF fiction. Korolenkos death was 4
! loss not only 20 Russian literature.
however, for he occupied a peculiar
and unique political position as we'll
He was known as the conscience Of
the Russian people" for in the course
Of his long literary career his powerful
pen was often welded in the defense
Of justice and humanity, the vindica'
tion Of both Of which was 81 best a dif-
heult task under the rule Of the Cars.
when the Soviet regime became es-
tsblished in Russia Korolenko would
not leave the country. He remained in
his native city Of Poltsva. in the heart
Of the Ukraine, and lived there until his
death on December 25. 1921, through all
the vieisitudes Of that troubled country.
But the world heard nothing from him
during this period. Occasionally an
interview would come through, but
nothing from his own pen.
The reason for this had been the
fact that the Communist regime had
swept out Of existence all non-psrtisan
press. and Korolenko's views on what
was taking place in Russia under the
Soviets were such that he could not
write in the Communist press. These
views we're very definite, and II IS only
now that they have become available for

a Russian magazine in Paris, Of re-
markable human document from koro-

The directors of the Civic and Com

there is no greater issue before the
people of Bemidji today than the
erection of hospital, unanimously
agreed to pledge the support of the
association in assisting in every pos
sible way the Lutheran Society, so
that Bemidji might have a hospital
as soon as possible.
The drive for funds has thus far
been made principally by Rev. l.. J.
Jerdee and it is the plan of the as
ISOLATION to lend it's effort toward
securing subscriptions and funds in
order that work may be speeded up
to secure this much needed institu-
ton.
Plans for the establishing of tenn
porary quarters in the new Kaplan
building and the Nangle building
were submitted, but neither plan was
recommended by the committee, be-.
cause it was temporary plan and
because Bemidji so much needs a
permanent institution.
i The drive for funds will be an ag-
gressive one and not single person
in the city or neighboring towns and
counties will be overlooked. All will
be given an opportunity to subscribe

More than five times as many
tourists camped at the Diamond Point
free camp grounds the first two
weeks during July this year as did
last year, and at no time was there
any difficulty in taking care Of the
campers,
A total of 1884 cars were register
ed coming from as far East as New
York, west as California, north as
Alaska and south from Tennessee
More than twenty states in the union
were represented, including cars
from Canada
At the present time there are even
greater numbers being registered
than during the first part Of the
month and indications are that this
most popular camping grounds will
accommodate thousands this year,
where hundreds enjoyed the privel-

(Note:* 70 appease the curl
osity of those who may wonder
why E. H. Jerrard was picked to
start the picture gallery of old
timers to be run by The Pioneer
in connection with the historical
pageant to be staged during the
Northern Minnesota fair, we
beg to state that here is a man
who has invariably attracted the
interest Of both the male and fe-
male readers. It is the desire
of The Pioneer that this project
make a hit with the ladies, and
this is, admitted to be very
good start).
The above picture shows E. H.
Jerrard as he looked when the
ladies called him "Ned." That
was before the days when some
of them began to use the prefix
"Uncle." Mr.. Jerrard is sure to
come in for. a bit of publicity
during the staging of the pag-
cant and it, is expected that he
will occupy some prominent part
in it, either as actor or critic.
He will be remembered as
having recently won the pink
powder puff at the Ladies' Night
program given by the Kiwanis
club at Birchmont, at which time
three lady judges picked him as
the winner. He is a picked man,
not ''pecked,", for Ned is still
single, and many of his married
friends advise him to stay that
way. ., f-...z
At the present time he is
manager of the local station Of
the Northwestern Oil Co. He
has been engaged in various
businesses here during the past
several years ana can BE listed
among the oldest residents Of
the city. You wouldn't think it
to look at this picture, but he's
been in Bemidji at various times
close on to Is years, If it's
more, it is not to be expected
that he will admit it.
