Here To Serve IT der back to New Haven hoping against hope that Tom Shevlin has accomplished a miracle in the last two weeks and whipped a team in shape that will make a creditable showing against the Tigers. The Princeton partisans will drift back to cheer for what they believe is the best Tiger Eleven that has emerged from Old Nassau in years. Shevlin Turns Trick? Yale is hoping for a repetition of the 1910 feat. Yale faced Prince ton in that year in much the same waybroken and shattered, with Tom Shevlin but two weeks at the helm, having been brought back by frantic calls for help. But the old Eli star upset the dope by pushing his demoralized charges to a 5 to 3 victory over the Tigers, and crowned the stunt a week later by playing Harvard to a scoreless tie when the odds were about 3 to 1 against him. Maybe Shevlin has turned the trick again this season. Games Are Good. Two elevens which have been find ing the going rough meet at Philadel- phiaPennsy and Michigan. Th6 result is not important, as both are weaker this year than for many sea sons and long since out of the cham pionship running. Up at Syracuse there promises to be a real battle. Colgate with one of the best elevens in her history and one of the best in the country faces a tough customer in Syracuse, who held Princeton 3-0. Colgate's hopes of remaining in the championship groove are on the game. Maroons Lose Man. Chicago's hope for a football cham pionship were chilled to the freezing point when, as the University of Chi cago squad started last night for Min neapolis, news was confirmed that Harry Flood, Coach Stagg's fullback and chief line plunger, would not take part in the game against Minne sota tomorrow. Failure to maintain the standing in his classes requisite for participating in athletics was given as the reason. TOMORROW'S FOOTBALL. East. Yale vs. Princeton, at New Haven.

The proclamation, in part, follows: "The people of Minnesota have spe cial reason to give thanks to God for His blessings through and by which they have peace, contentment and the material things necessary for their welfare and wholesome enjoy ment. "Unfortunately some who possess more of the world's goods than they need give too little heed to others who through misfortune or other cause have less than actual necessi ties demand and so suffer. Will not the prosperous at this time look for those who are in want, relieve the distressed, help the fallen to rise and bring hope and cheer to the dis consolate for the sake of Him who has given us so bountifully? "There are no unusual disturb ances tranquility prevails and there is little of the bitterness and strife leaving neighbor to suspect neighbor of evil designs or section to oppose section. But greatest of all, our na tion is at peace. "We pray that the terrible Euro pean conflict may end. We are thankful that we have been spared from the catastrophe that has come upon so many of the great nations of the world. "So it is especially fitting that we should set apart a day for thanks giving, and I do hereby, as governor of the state of Minnesota, proclaim Thursday, Nov. 25, 1915, as Thanks giving day, and I do most earnestly call upon the people of our common wealth on that day to meet at their usual places of worship in order that they may there better render thanks itW f* If*^4 to Almighty God for blessings we enjoy." the manifold ft**************** ADDITIONAL LOCALS O.

GIVEN, Editor Vol. i, No. 10 Bemidji, Minn., November Joe Orr Refuses To Sell Sees Stoves Loaded in Front of Our Store and is Not Surprised at Buyers. WANTS 25% MORE FOR HIS UNIVERSAL As Joe Orr of Tenstrike passed our store the other day we were loading some Universal ranges for delivery about town and Joe was accosted with this remark: "Want to buy a stov today." "Not today, Mr. Given. I bought one of those Universal ranges three years ago and you couldn't buy it back for 25 per cent more." We just thought this would be a good news item for our friends to hear. Yes, we have more just like Joe who would not sell their Uni versal stoves if it could not be re placed with another. THE CLOCK STOPPED. Olaf Ongstad won the clock guess ing contest, he having guessed nearest the time the clock stopped, which was 7:45 a. m., Tuesday, Nov. 9. The prize was a safety razor.

Father Thomas Bordering of Red Lake paid us a visit Tuesday and by his order showed that he had lots of confidence in Certain-teed roofing paper and Universal stoves. We are shipping him 30 rolls of Certain teed and two Universal heaters. We are sure he will not be disappointed. Olaf Opsahl has been reading about our sales of Certain-teed roofing and building paper and concluded that goods which sold like these must have some merit. Olaf is laying our roof ing this week. WASHING MACHINE OUTFIT. Champy Petrie, the Puposky thresher and farmer, paid us another visit this week. He wanted to know if we had washing machines of the same quality as Universal stoves. He is the proud owner of a Universal. We showed him a BIG 3 Washer that looked so good that we got his order for a washer, wringer and boiler. We feel sure he will be sat isfied. George Foley & Son bought a Her ald stove at this store and had it shipped to St. Paul. We merely re cite this to show it pays to buy in Bemidji even though you live in St. Paul. -HA RD AT WOR K- Getting everything in shape for the opening of the New Store Saturday Morning at 10 O'clock On Beltrami Avenue, Old Grand Theatre Souvenirs for ladies, 10 to 11 o'clock Carlson's Variety Store the Good morning again. various refresh- The mothers visited classes, after which ments were served.
