THE BEMIDJI D_AILY PIONEER PUBLISHED BVERY AFTHRNOOK, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By CLYDE J."PRYOR. Untered in the postofiice at Bemidil. Minx., a8 second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM SECRETARY MACKENZIE'S REPORT. Elsewhere in this issue of the Pio- neer we give a full statement, made by W. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the Beltrami county Agricultural as- sociation, who had charge of the 1908 “farmer’s fair.” The report is a very encouraging one, and shows that the association is really in a good condition. For this result, the association can thank Mr. Mackenzie and his associates who had charge of the fair. Mr. Mackenzie went ahead, practically on “his own hook,” and conducted the fair, when nearly every person|¢ was “knocking” the association and the fair, right merrily. He did not get discouraged, but went ahead in in his own way and prepared a fair that was very interesting to the farmers of Beltrami county, as well residents of the city who recognize that farming is the real industry for the future welfare of this city and county. The 1908 fair was handled in a very economical manner, and con- sidering the adverse conditions that were thrust upon Mr. Macken-| zie and President Malzahn, they did splendidly; and they deserve the united thanks of all. The Pioneer prints the statement, together with all other matter con- cerning the fair which has appeared heretofore in the Pioneer, absolutely free of charge. And in this con- nection, it is interesting to note that| the Pioneer was the only paper pub- lished in the county that printed the full premium list which was gotten out prior to the fair, We have done this with no other pur-;E pose than to assist, by every means at our command, in furthering the Review (and we presume written by our old friend ‘E. C. Kiley), is so true to latter-day life that we repro- duce it for the .consideration” of the youth of Bemidji: “Young man, Jet us give you the benefit of our observation. We have noticed that at least nine-tenths of the young men who have been before the courts for misdemeanors are those who take no interest whatever in education, seldom read a news- paper, and are always ready to make fun of other young men who use correct language and try to be some- body. 5. It comes natural to them to discourage the studious and ambi- tious young men of their acquaint- ance. Their minds run’ towards dirty stories, midnight sprees and bad company. This in a short time means trouble, a sheriff’s invitation to attend court, and a fine or term in jail.” COUNTY FAIR Continued frem First Page W. T. Blakely H.

Judge Witten has given out the following official statement: “Orders have been issued that no application for registration be exe- cuted at any of the affidavit points other than Dallas and Gregory after 6 o’'clock p. m. on Oct. 16. The affi- davits executed at either Presho or Chamberlain on the 14th, 16th and 16th and at O'Neill and Valentine on the 15th and 16th should not be placed in the mails, but must be delivered to the officer by whom the blanks are distributed and will be conveyed by special messenger to Dallas before the closing of the registration at 4:30 o'clock on Oct. 17.
