BE A SQTJABE SPORT.
We have noticed during the basket
ball games being contested by theMfilc
Carleton All-Stars and the Big Be
midg team of Bemidji an inclination
on the part of some of the spectators
to give vent to their feelings in a
manner not in conformity with good
sportsmanship and it might be well
at the outset of the basketball sea
son to call attention to this.
In the height of a hotly contested
game ,in fact any line of sport, some
things might occur that are taken
in the wrong light by spectators and
uncalled for remarks are often hurled
at the members of a visiting team.
It should be borne in
mindathat
visitors1
th
are strangers in strange
land and at the mercy of the "home
guard" and they should be extended
every courtesy.
On the other hand, the Bemidji
team is composed of young men who
are in the main engaged in lines of
endeavor as their business calling
and are not solely devoted to sports.
They are sturdy chaps and play the
game for the love of it and are ready
at all times to put forth every effort
to provide good wholesome sport for
their fellow citizens). And they are
good players, too, away above the av
erage found in cities the size of Be
midji. They also deserve encourage
ment at every turn.
A team nor athlete can not win
all the time and honest endeavor
should meet commendation.
The person who can't take a fair
defeat in good grace is a poor speci
men of a sport and is the rankest
sort of a "welcher," and the person
who can't encourage a team just be
cause it does not happen to be on
the winning side doesn't know the
meaning of sportsmanship, and you
can bet your bottom dollar he is the
kind of an individual who would hit
a fish with a board.
The basketball season is just open
ing for Bemidji. Come on, be a
square sport.
A dispatch from Plainfield, N. J.,
contains the information that Fran
cis Charles Langhorne, who was a
member of the committee which de
cided the name Elks for the well
known order, died at his home in
Plainfield, Wednesday. It was his*
vote which decided the name Elks in
stead of Buffaloes for the order. He
was 72 years old and an ardent Elk
from the inception of the order and
we will wager that the first greeting
when he spied St. Peter was "Hello
Bill."
We have received the annual re
port of the Rockefeller Foundation
consisting of 377 pages. It contains
almost everything from information
as to how many yards! of silk it takes
to make a waist for an elephant to
how to prevent hook worm. Anyone
desiring to peruse this volume is per
fectly welcome as we haven't time
nor the inclination, but we venture
it is perfectly all right.
We have been asked just how high
we think a lady should wear her
skirt. Well, we have consulted
President Wilson, William Jennings
Bryan, Elle Wheeler Wilcox, Mme.
Que Vive, Mayor Vandersluis and
Chief Ripple and decided the proper
height should be a little over two
feet.
If you met a burglar in your house
some night and should ask him if he
was a burglar what would he say?
Certainly he would. And a crooked
public official would reply the same
if he were asked if he was crooked.
There are some public officials
who remind taxpayers* of an ostrich.
An ostrich, you know, hides his head
and thinks no one can see him.
Just how much of the public's
business IS any of their business?
We are curious to know.
Here's to you a Happy New Year,
and hopes it will not be limited to
only one.
Every taxpayer holds stock in the
corporation in which he resides.
Bring on your New Year's turkey.
All aboard for 1917.
Fixing the Carpet 8weeper.
The revolving brush of the ordinary
carpet sweeper is driven by the fric
tion of the wheels on which the sweep
er runs against driving wheels on ei
ther end of the brush axle. To insure
good friction the peripheries of all ot
these wheels are covered with tightly
fitting rubber rings. In time these
rings wear out, or the rubber becomes
hardened and loses its grip. An effi
cient method of repairing a sweeper
having imperfect or worn rubber rings
is to cover the wheels with common
electricians' tape, such as is employed
for covering joints in wire. The tape
should first be wound around the
of the wheel until a covering
nearly equal to the thickness of the
original ring is attained. This should
then be secured in place by passing the
tape around the ring and between the
spokes of the wheels. The gripping
power of the tape is fully equal to that
of the original rubber rings, and the
sweeper will be good for service until
other parts wear out.
Arsenio Absorbed by Hair.
New light has been thrown on the
legal side of arsenic poisoning, says
the Scientific American. It has been
found that arsenic compounds are ab
sorbed by the hair of living persons,
though not absorbed after death. In
the hair of man arsenic has been
known to reach a concentration of one
to five parts in 100,000. The deposit
takes place in the hair after it has
been absorbed by the abdominal or
gans, liver and kidneys fn particular.
Therefore in cases of acute, quick
poisoning a chemical analysis of the
Dalr would show no arsenic, while it
would be found in the liver and kid
neys. On. the other hand, if slow ar
poisoning were suspected anal
ytb would show arsenic in the hair,
baft not in the liver and kidneys, and
II could safely be assumed that the
pofttoning was not recent. The legal
fBloe of such evidence is apparent.
Sharks and Death.
There is an old yet still operative su
perstition among seafaring men that
whan a shark persistently follows a
Teasel it is a sign that some person on
board is going to die, the alleged rea
son being that the great fish can scent
death.
