county floor. When that squad plays
here, however, it is expected that a
much closer game will be the result.
Bemidji is hopelessly lost in the dis
trict championship race but neverthe,
less the local boys have a number OF
good games ahead and with regular
practice should make these contests
worth while. indications are that by
another Year, Bemidji will have q
squad which will be among the best
in the district, since graduation only
takes one or two players from the
team this year.
The game at Park Rapids has no
bearing whatever on the district race,
even though both teams have no pos
sible chance to win the title. Confer
ence regulations demand that q neu-
trail referee oficiate district games
and for that reason the game will
not count for Park RAPIDS nor against
Bemidji. r.. &
; It is understood that Park Rapids
has been waiting for a. chance to get
even for the defeat Bemidji handed
that school last fall in football and
believed that this was an opportunity.

Eaule Lost Meal and Liberty.

A large eagle was captured at Three
Lakes, Wash, while it was fighting
hard to carry off wild goose. The
goose was attacked while swimming
on the water. The eagles talon en-
tered the goose's side, which promptly
drew its wing down tightly, preventing
the sharp. claws being withdrawn. The
eagle could not release It's hold of the
heavy bird, and as the life OF the
goose slowly waned the larger bird
was in danger Of drowning. A man
wadel out into the edge Of the lake
and easily captured both. The eagle
was large enough to have carried of

The Home Run Craze

In few more baseball seasons
the interest in the annual home run
contest promises to exceed the inter
est in the worlds pennant.
1t is divided this year. Half the
fans are breathlessly awaiting the
result of the post-season series. The
other half are eagerly inquiring
whether Babe Ruth or Mr.. Hornsby
will knock the ball oftenest out of
the yard.
The home run craze has been of
little benefit to baseball. 1t was a
better and far moro fascinating
game in the days when the local en-
thusiasm was for the team rather
than for any particular player. The
development Of the "swatter" and
the prodigious salary paid him have
tended to make the team of second
ary Importance and to take the thrill
and excitement from the game itself.
"Kings of Clout" may gain far
more money and fame than their
mental equipment entities them to,
even to the extent Of making them
top-lofty and above all rules; but
they are changing the character of
baseball in America, and the change
is not for the better.
New-York tribune., 1922-09-21

and the task of cleaning the fish be-
comes intolerable, and it seems as IL
there would be no end OF packing
them away, then are endurance and
patience demanded of the men and
stanchness of the ship. The con-
stant pitch and toss in never quiet
sea is strain that tells in the end.
That the Nova Scntians who make
the long seasonal catches look down
upon the Mayflower as nothing but
a fresh fisherman is very natural. If
they wish to confinc the regatta to
salt fishermen they are well within
their rights. But if, us the May
flowers owners claim, she can do
the work of the salt fishermen, is it
not the part of reaction to exclude
her because she embodies certain
rev departures in rigging intended
to give her speed, but which are not
to the taste Of the old school Of Nova
Scotian salt fishermen?
New-York tribune., 1922-09-21
Kitchens and Careers

For one woman who runs a steel
mill or garage there are hundreds
who import infants wear or manu-
facture jam. The exhibition now
displayed at the Hotel Commodore
of the many enterprises in which
modern business women have sue
ceeded is noticeable in that in it the
old-fashioned occupations Of women,
sublimated into money-making con-
Germs, predominant.
1t seems to prove, and its spokes-
women admit with satisfaction, that
woman, in her search for financial
success, has come back to the home,
even as Maeterlinck' seekers for
happiness found the bluebird sing
ing by the kitchen hearth. Time
was when the ambitious woman felt
obliged to seek out strange fields and
pastures new. She cried out that she
must escape from the kitchen to the
factory and the law office. After
half century of seeking she has
learned that success can come easily
in the fields to which she has been
dedicated by centuries of tradition.
When she learned not to escape from
the kitchen but to commercialize it;
when she found that silks and rib
bons were not fetters but natural
medium for her creative instinct;
when, in short, she stopped fight
ing her job and began to develop it,"
as Mrs. Elisabeth Sears said, then
success followed inevitably.
All this is in direct conflict with
the dreams Of those early feminists
who saw woman's happiness only in
her complete emancipation from the
traditions Of domesticity. If her
soul was above dishwashing, they
thought, then she must turn to the
law or poetry. The League of Busi-
ness and Professional Women seems
to have discovered that soul may
be above dishwashing in one dingy
kitchen but be well equipped to sell
patent dishwashers to other women
TO the end that all may have more
time for poetry OF the law when the
days work is done.
This does not prove that success
in the so-called masculine fields will
be denied those women whose talents
fit them for competition with men.
1t merely calls attention to fact
once ignored by some feminists, that
the old-time woman's world has com.
mercial and intellectual opportuni-
ties which are not to be bslittled.
New-York tribune., 1922-09-21
What Children Used TO Read By James L. Ford

sometimes ask myself If there are
any among the living who recall as
wildly as I do certain periodicals of
long ago that deserve grateful re-
membrance.
And I wonder if "Our Young Folks"
is still fragrant memory in the
minds of those advanced in years but
not yet senile who were among it's
readers more than half a century ago.
Published in Boston at a time when
that city was the literary center of the
country and the editor Of "The
Atlantic Monthly" pped for New
York authors to dance, it sprang into
the arena armed cap-a-pie with list
of contributors whose equal it would
be hard to assemble at the present
day. Unlike other magazines which
in later years have sought to enter the
field that it filled to the complete
satisfaction of the Juveniles who de-
voured its contents so eagerly, it was
written and edited for children to
read and not for parents to buy.
Throughout its course it avoided the
rock Of crafty commercial appeal on
which SO many of its successors have
foundered.
1 cannot at this remote day recall
the name of its editor, nor did it con-
cern us much, SO great was our de-
light in the stories he provided for
us. Whoever he was he must have
possessed a childlike heart allied to
brain wise as that OF the tabled
ape. / recall, however, the names of
some Of the contributors: Gail
Hamilton, j. T. Trowbridgc, Thomas
Bailey Aldrich and others, but
