It is related of Al Jolson that he deposited $4o,0oO in a Chicago bank three years ago and lost his bank book, but didn't bother about it until his recent marriage. Still, the story may be true.
 French newspapers make 6 distinction be- tween their hatred of Lloyd George and their feeling toward the British people. As long as Lloyd George is in power the distinction is not important.
 London got thrill the other day. The ex- Kaiser's super-spy was seen in the heart of the city, but he disappeared before Scotland Yard could nab him.
 The Savannah News sees no reason why a woman can't perform her political duties and keep house. Running for office is much more exacting, however.
 A bill granting absolute sex equality to women has passed the Dali. We were under the impression that they already enjoyed equal sniping privileges.
 There is no political significance, we sup pose, in the fact that Washington traffic po- licemen salute former President Wilson 'stiffly."

reception which was one of the most enjoyable and elaborate they have ever experienced. At various times Houston, New Orleans, Charles ton, Tampa, Asheville and other cities have acted as hosts The general conventions of the Daughters of the Confederacy are much sought after and it is a distinction to any city to be chosen as a meeting place. There will be about 600 delegates from all parts of the country, representing the highest type of American womanhood, who bear close relation ship to cause that all southern people rev. erence.
 There can be no successful convention without adequate funds to provide the neces- visitors. For this purpose the local daughters have divided their finance committee into smaller committees who will call on the bust ness firms of Birmingham this week to solicit contributions. The campaign has already been indorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, the xCivic Association, the Inter-Allied council -and other organizations.
 Business men know what it means to have a large convention held in Birmingham espe- cially when it is composed of women delegates The daughters should have no difficulty in raising the sum of money they will need to uphold Birmingham's reputation for hospi- tality.

Gently returned to his home country
after a short visit in America, said:
when one sets foot in America he
is confronted by the fact that our
country has not yet comprehended
how indispensable it is to study the
English language. I assure you that
I felt this inferority from the first
day. 1t is what struck me most. Our
professors and notables of all kinds
have gone to America and have been
invited to universities and clubs.
They must have remarked on this
inferiority. Why haven't they told
US about it?
"English is spoken in about two
thirds of the civilized world, Why
don't we speak it? What do we
know of English literature? Who
can read the masterpieces in the orig
inal? We must learn English. 1t
is imperative and patrioic neces-
sity".
Foreigners generally believe that
English is a difficult language to &C
quire. In its spelling, idioms and
slang, its complicated grammar
(Which at that is less cumbersome
than German or French GRAMMAR
and it's enormous range in synonyms
it undoubtedly is. But with speak
ing and writing familiarity with its
fundamentals is not necessarily a
life study. If evidence were needed
to prove it, one S. Dabinsky, Polish
immigrant, can offer it. Mr.. Dab
insky has been in this country one
year. When he arrived he knew no
English. The National Society Of
Colonial Danes has just awarded him
it's annual bronze medal for the best
patriotic essay.
If Polish immigrant can learn
| our language we'll enough in a year
to win a prize, it is obvious that
English cannot be considered to pre-
sent insuperable difficulties for the
average foreign student.

BALL FANS PROMISED
FAST GAME TOMORROW
Strong Basley Team to Play
Local City Team at Fair
Grounds Sunday

Bemidji will have a hard game on
it's hands when the Bagley city team
plays the locals at the fair grounds
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The
visitors have a strong organization
this year and will make strong bid
for victory. The Bagley team, it is
understood, will have it's strongest
possible lineup and will come here
with the intention of adding another
vistory to it's already long list. The
Clearwater county team holds VIC
tory over Gonvick, one of the strong
est teams in the Red River Valley
league.
= Bemidji, it is expected, will have
practically the same lineup tomor-
row as that which so ably defeated
Tenstrike last Tuesday by score of
16 to 5. In any event, the Bemidji
squad will present a strong lineup
against the visitors when they take
the field to start tomorrow's contest.
Under the management of E. S.
Cask,v, the Bemidji team has so far
be z nat may be termed a winning
org. ion, only one game having
BEEN 'ed to date, and that twi-
light g. 6 against cass Lake. Two
previous = ories over Cass Lake
blot out tn e 'efeat. Caskey has ar
ranged a S, schedule for the
balance of til eason also and the
Bemidji fans a assured a number
of fast contests, goth here and out
of town.
Rivalry in athletics between Bag
lev and Bemidji has always been
keen and it is practically certain
that there will be large attendance
at this game. 1t is also expected
that the Bagley team will bring a
large following.
