HUNTEM AND CHASEM
RID STORE OF RATS
What became of the rats?

They've gone never to return.
Two harmless looking pet ferrets,
by the name of "Huntem" and
F"Chasem" imported from Alaska by
F. G. Troppman, were turned loose
in the Troppman Block, which was
badly infested with rats and in two
days rats and all traces of rats have
disappeared.
Huntem and Chasem did the work
in Jig time and are now looking Tor
more work to do.
Huntem finds the rats and Chasem
takes after them and kills them as
fast as they show up. Into rat
holes Of every size go this pair OF
brothers and never let up until the
work is done. They seem to enjoy
the work and guarantee to do good
job.
The other day the pair found their
way through a rat hole that led into
the street and pedestrians, not know
ing what they were, tried to Kill poor
Huntem and Chasem, but were eau
toned in time to spare their lives.
They are now in their cage in the
Troppman building taking life easy,
ready to do their bit at all times
when it comes to hunting rats
It is said that rats take to their
heels when they learn ferrets are in
the building and never return.
If you have any rats in your build
ing and want to clear them out for
good, you might make arrangements
with Mr.. Troppman to secure the
services of Huntem and Chasem.

WASHINGTON DAYLIGHT
SAVING IS UNPOPULAR
National Capital Struggling
With Normal Clock and
Abnormal Hours

. Washington, May 90 Capital
News Service) .-"Daylight saving
without clock changing, now being
tried out in Washington, D. G., by
suggestion of President Harding,
uroves more. and more unpopular
with every new complication. The
refusal of Congress to pas law for
the District of Columbia setting all
clocks forward one hour led the Pres
ident< to direct the government de-
partments to begin the day at a. m.
instead of nine, and stop at three
thirty instead Of four-thirty. But
the change in hours, without change
in clocks, has worked much hardship
and confusion. School have follow
ed the departments and require
children to report at a. m. This
means an hour earlier getting up
for the whole family with no cor
responding gain at the other end of
the day. No one goes to bed any
earlier, and all theatres and other
amusements operate on the old sched-
ule.
Street car congestion has been
heavy as the new working hour
did away with the "staggered' be-
ginning hours of many of the de-
partments. Banks observe their
usual hours, the postoffice has not
altered it's schedule, so business men
who are compelled to follow the de-
partments have an hour of useless
sitting around offices in the morning,
which cannot be made up by remain
ing in office an hour after other
offices and departments close.
The President and Cabinet are be-
ing most severely criticised by bus
mess, school, parental and financial
authorities, Meanwhile, Congress-,
which could end the trouble with a
clock-setting-law, refuses to rouse
the ire of the farmers who resent
daylight saving with or without the
clock change!
But the golf and tennis players
like it.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY IS
VERY CAPABLY STAGED
Every Character in "A Pair of
Skies" Well Suited to Part;
Directed BY Miss Young

A laugh from start to finish, is the
general comment today regarding
the senior class play "A PAIR OF
Sixes", staged at the Grand theatre
before a well-filled house Thursday
evening. This clever tarce-comedy
proved to be very capably presented,
numbering among the very best
home talent plays ever presented in
Bemidji.
Every character was extremely we'll
suited to his or her part, the general
opinion Of the audience being that
better selection of actors and &C.
tresses could not have been made.
With a class of IS, the seniors were
we'll able to furnish IL very capable
and talented players for this pertor-
nance.
The leading parts were carried by
Willard Jameson, Perry Hulet, Les
ter Smith, Alice Cameron, Elsie
Blackburn and Edla Rudy. Even
though the remainder of the cast car
ried minor parts, each proved very
capable and the entire production
went off without any apparent
hitch.
Action is very necessary essen
tial in plays Of this kind and plenty
of action was provided at all times.
Much credit for the manner in
which the play was staged is due to
Miss Esther Young, instructor of
English in the high school, who direct
ed the entire performance. Miss
Young has already proven her abili-
ty as a director on several previous
occasions, but this performance is
considered one of the best she has
ever directed.
A musical program was provided
by the high school orchestra under
the direction of Miss Martha Fibigar,
instructor of music in the Bemidji
schools. This organization is pro-
crossing rapidly under her direction
and is considered one of the out
standing organizations of the school.
The cast of characters was as
follows: "George B. Nettleton," Will
lard Jameson; "T. Boggs Johns
Perry Hulett; "Krome," their book
keeper. Henry Jordan; "Miss Sally
Parker" their stenographer,, Myrtle
Kobe; "Thomas j. Vanderbilt, -
their lawyer Lester Smith; "Tony
Toler" their salesman, Victor Jahr;
"Mr. APPLICABLE" Harry Hodgdon;
"Office Boy Harry Breen; "Ship-
ping Clerk Gustave Letfors; "Mrs
George B. Nettleton," Alice Gamer
on; "Miss Florence Cole" Elsie
