POINTED PARAGRAPHS

From the Chicago News.
 People have so many ways of being mean!
 Don't overdo thing unless you also wish to do it over.
 Any secret woman is compelled to keep is untold agony
 No man ever yet lived hogs life and es- capped hogs looks.
 hermit is a man who gets along pretty well without the world
 Between half-baked optimist and kiln dried cynic is hard choice.
 Obscurity may have it's charms for the man who is compelled to associate with famous people.
 Some people seem to live in the air, and every time they touch the earth they get into trouble. Human hair is said to be worth about $50 a pound but it depends on whether you are buying it or merely trying to keep what you have.

REGARDING CONFEDERATE GRAY

q consider it shame" said J. W. May, commander of Camp Wilcox, United Confeder- ate Veterans, that half of our school chil. dren do not know Confederate uniform when they see one have found this out from wear ing among them myself. At that rate, am afraid that the men of the sixties will all be for gotten after a few more of us are gone
 "In view of this lack of knowledge on the part of our youth, Camp Wilcox is considering a plan to conduct an educational campaign in the schools. We would not only teach them to recognize the uniform but to know other de- tails regarding the heroes who fought for the south in the Civil war"

CONVICTION EDITOR HERE

"1t's always distinct pleasure to visit Bir- mingham, for people here are continually doing the big, worthwhile things" declared Oscar M. Dugger, editor of the Andausia Semi Weekly Star, who stopped over yesterday en route home after extended trip through Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. "In Georgia there is movement on foot to float $150 0,O00,- 900 of bonds for school improvement and in North Carolina I found that through heavy appropriations for educational purposes school property in that state has increased 2400 per cent within the past Is years, and now there is standard high school within reach of every child, according to official reports.
 After such a great educational rally as that held in Birmingham short time ago, it seems that Alabama should catch this vision and through it's educational leadership see adequate education in this state."

INTERNATIONAL
Loeals Take Two Touchdowns
IN First Half; Will Play !
I At Duluth This Week

Although local football fans were
kept waiting for two hours after the
hour set for the beginning Of the
game, because of: International Falls
meeting with car trouble On the way
here by bus, fair. exhibition Of
football was given at the fair grounds
Saturday afternoon when Bemidji
high school defeated the Internation-
al Falls high school elevenaby a score
of IL to 0. Beginning at 4.30, the
game continued until nearly 6 o'clock.
Well toward the close of the first
quarter Bemidji scored its first touch1
down, Nehniann taking the. ball over
ON an end run. Bemidji's other
touchdown came in the second quar-
ter on a line smash. In neither in
stance was goal kicked. Il. -
International Falls boasts strong
line, due largely to the weight of
two or three Of its members, one
fellow in particular going well over
the 2qD-pound mark. However, the
visitors were weak on! the offensive
and only once did they. make the
first down. Time and again they
punted on the first down, instead Of
trying to carry the ball out Of danger.
The bulk of the play was on Inter-
national Falls territory, the visitors
getting into Benidji territory only, a
few times.
! Although Bemidii won, it is CON
sidered that the boys must put up
a much better brand Of football for
the games which are still left on the
:fehedule. Next Saturday the Be.
midi eleven journeys to Duluth to
play the Duluth Cathedral and hard
contest lis assured. Another hard
game is ces4ain when the boys go to
Thief River Falls, that team having
defeated Grand Forks Saturday by
a score of 20 to- o. Grand Forks is
to play here The latter part Of the
month.
This week the Bemidji squad is
going through stiff practice under
the direction of Athletic Director
Frank Kovach and it is expected
that considerable improvement will
be shown before Saturdays, game.
