SUICIDE STATISTICS *.
AID EDUCATION BILL
Need of Better School Seen in
Suicide Facts Discloied By
Save a Life League

Washington, March 16:-(Capital
News Service) = Friends of the
Towner-Sterling bill, now before
congress, which creates Depart
ment Of Education, point to the. re.
port of the Save Life League, just
made public, which shows suicides OF
more TINA 20, 900 persons in 1921, as
indicative of the failure of modern
educational processes.
Education which does not fit those
who obtain it for living, it is pointed
out, is of no value either to the in
dividual or to the state. That 10
editors, 10 we'll known writers, 40
college students, 81 school teachers,
21 clergymen, 81 judges and law
yers, z mayors, SO bankers and 80
presidents Of large business concerns
were numbered am6ng the 1921 sui
cides is sufficient evidence that there
is field for national aid in educa-
ton which conserves to the state the
lives Of valuable men by putting EN-
phasis upon true rather than ticti-
tious educational values.
" Attention is also drawn to the re-
cent move of the American Fedora
ton of Labor by which that organi-
zation proposes to help wrokingmen
obtain the benefits of university
training, as further indication of
the widespread demand for more and
better educational facilities. Labor
spokesman have characterized the
plan as the most far-reaching ever
devised for increasing educational
facilities to workingmen.
But it is not from labor, it is point
ed out at the capitol, but from edu-
cational sources that the greatest de-
mand for government participation in
education comes, and not from pri-
.vate gift, even when in such magnifi-
cent sums as the recent six million
.benefaction from the Rockefellers to
Johns Hopkins, but from public in
terest, that the United States educa-
tional system will be brought to a
really high, state of efficiency.

an Organization is to this community.
Every Tuesday the board of direc,
tors has met at noon luncheon, and
a business meeting has followed. This
board directs the operation of the
fourteen committees and passes up
on the programs of each department.:
Fifty-two such meetings were held
during the past year with an average
attendance Of rs per cent OF the
board. s..#. -: ~ -.
The Wednesday luncheon is served
for the entire membership and fol-
lowed by business meeting. These
have proved to be valuable factors
in attaining the desires and accom-
pishing the aims of the organization
and in pushing forward the true spri-
it of the city. of Bemidji. Through
these gatherings the business men OF
the city have mingled and developed
friendships and understanding of one
another. They have heard city,
county, state and national matters so
presented and discussed as to aid in
forming correct public opinion.
Conspicuous in the: activities OF
the year was the forming Of the Bel
trami County Land Clearing associa-
ton. Itfwas in the regular meetings
of the association that the sentiment
in. favor of land clearing was aroused
and the creation of the land clearing
association made possible. This
movement has made great progress
iii the development Of Beltrami coun-
ty and in the first year passed all ex-
pectations. During The campaign
there were actually $1,000 acres Of
cut-over land in the county made
ready for cultivation. This remark.

attention and other counties are TAX

OF as great Importance was the re-
organization Of the Beltrami County
Agricultural association with its
Northern Minnesota fair which has
awakened just pride in every citi-
zen of the county to its progress and
gave vision Of its possibilities. The
fair demonstrated that no country is
better adapted to raising the best
agricultural products and that the
dairying interest IS finding a rich pas
ture in this county. - - 80.
Early summer saw the completion
of Birchmont Beach hotel, which was
brought about by the association. It's
successful season meant profit not
only to STOCKHOLDERS in the company
but to every business in the city: =
Many meetings have been held in
the association rooms, making for the
center of civic activities and aiding
in impressing the citizens with the
knowledge that the organization is
always ready and willing to encour-
age and support every effort which
is meant for civic and community
betterment.
The association is naturally the in
formation bureau for the city and

BY MALCOLM .,


Mr.. Mike Goodbread was cast on
the waters of humid July after
noon and returned three fold, defeat
ing the perspiring Pals, to 2, in
an exhibition of national pastiming
that sizzled and scintillated yester-
day afternoon. Forty-seven buckets
of ball players medicine were con-
sumed and some OF the sterling ath-
letes went about the field sloshing
like sponges.
Mr. Guinea Quinn, of Ybor City,
the celebrated humidor, made several
feints towards the stands in chase of
foul flies, driving front seat fans to
higher ground for fear of another
tidal wave. Mr.. Guinea wore out
two sheets, three towels and a bed

While Mr.. Goodbread didn't exact

his digits, he did give them food for
thought. After Mr.. Robinson, the
famous Pal strategian, had stricken
out three times he tied his brow in
knot and pondered while Mr.. San

to give thought full sway. The pune

There were some high spots in Mr..
Barstow's pitching, much above mean

the call of the wild pushed him in
some bad holes, but he pulled out in
good shape, particularly in the fifth.
when, with three on, he famed the
elongated Mr. Wood.
Set pieces of brilliance were stag
ed Senior Larzo, of the Pals, and Mr.,
Inman, of the Terrors. The senior
choked off hit in the third when Mr..
Goodbread shot fast grounder be- \
tween second and first. Mr.. Larzo
countered with his left and slotted
the odl pill, beating Mr.. Mique back
10 the bag.

BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION HAS.
STARTED HELPING
Four Homes Going Up
on Money Loaned by
the Concern

The Secretary-Treasurer OF the Pa
latka Building and Loan Association
reports that POT of the 1000 shares Of
the capital stock of the Association
have been solo for a total value Of
$1,000.
The Association is aiding in the
erection of four homes in the city and
there are large number of prospec-
tive builders who have made applica-,
ton for loans from the Association
for the purpose of establishing homes
for themselves and only awaiting the
time when the regular payments into
the Association amount to sufficient
fund to enable them to go ahead.
While the Directors are highly graf
flied with the steady and substantial
growth shown inthe first two months
of operation, they feel keenly their
lack of ability to help all of the wor-
thy people who desire to establish
homes for themselves.
The people in Palatka are slow in
taking advantage of the saving fea-
lures of the Association and the real
ly remarkable results which may be
obtained through the systematic saw
ings of small sums. For example,

And smashes things 70 thunder.

In memories OF the past,

We are retrograding fast
For instance, when the Ku Klux Klan

We have no fault to find with those
Who daily tend the hopper
But with the laws that bid them do
Some things a bit improper.

Brings in millions every year.
And the State much needs the money.
