The old familiar song, ‘‘Cheer, Cheer, the Gang’s All Here,” very appropriately expresses the feeling among the delegates assembled in Bemidji today. There are more real men in the city today, than have been here for many months. These men have brought with them enthusiasm, and plenty of it, and its the kind that makes meetings inter- esting. The farmer and the city folk; those who so seriously object to the farmer moving to the city because they claim that the farm is the health- iest place to live, should remember that in the city you can take a bath for the small sum of 25 cents, while in the country the only facilities for ablution consist of a pail of water, a bar of soap and an appartment in the barn with the snow blowing in through an open window. Under such conditions is it any wonder that the microbes of discontent flurish in the system of the agricul- tural laborer? Not so in Minnesota. James J. Hill—The good land in this state, every acre of it, can pro- duce at a low estimate from $12 to $15 per acre. It can be made to produce $20 per acre. If it produces $12 per acre that is ten per cent on $120 an acre farm. You think if some-one would come and offer you $50 or $75 or $100 an acre you would stick him. Now if you can’t buy an equal number of acres of land for less money, don’t sell your land. Hold on to it. The time will come when it will be worth $100 per acre if you take care of it and there is no reason why it should not be worth $150.—Warroad Plain dealer. I BY THE WAY. If you want to know what a man’s real character is not, make inquires among his neighbors, A step isnot hard to - take if it leads down hill. When a young man puts on that wearied tired air, and intimates that the world has nothing new for him it is time'to get him a job cut- ting ice to pay for his meals.

THE CAUSE OF GOLDS Good Advice Regarding the Preven- tion of Coughs and Colds. If people would only fortify'and strengthen the system, the ma- jority of cases of coughs, colds and pneumonia might be avoided. These troubles are frequently due to weakness, which produces a catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane, which' is an internal skin of the body. When this skin is weakened it becomes easily in- fected with germs which cause many of the diseases to which flesh is heir, Healthy mucocus mem- branes are essential- safeguards of the body’s general health. An excellent aid in the preven- tion of coughs, colds and pneu- monia, and such like infectious diseases, is a remedy that will prevent or cure catarrh, We have a remedy which we honestly believe to be unsurpassed in excellence for the prevention of coughs, colds and all catarrhal con- ditions. It is the prescription of a famous physician, who has an en- viable reputation of thirty years of cures gained through the use of this formula. We promise to make no charge for the medicine should 1t fail to do as we claim, We urge everybody who has need of such a medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. R It stands to reason that we could not afford to make such statements and give our own personal guar- antee to this remedy if we were not prepared to ' prove the rea- sonableness of our claim in every patticular, and we see no reason why anyone should hesitate to ac- cept our offer and tryit. We have two sizos of Rexall Mucu-Tone, prices 50 cents and §1.00, Some- times a 50-cent bottle is sufficient to give marked relief. Asa gen- eral thing the . most .chronic case is relieved with an average of three large bottles. You can obtain Rexall Remedies in Bemidji only at our store,—The Rexall Store, Barker’s Drug Store. {PROF. J. H. HAY WRITES BOOSTING CONVENTION Superintendent of Thief River Falls Schools' Won't Be Here, But Is Optimistic. Thief River Falls, Feb. 12, Mr. W. R. Mackenzie, Bemidji, Minn,, - Dear Sir: —I am exceedingly thankful to you for considering me in connection with the meeting in Bemidji next week and were I able to- attend would most gladly contribute my feeble part in helping make it the success' which its merit entitles it to become. I am sending a good man in my place and our city will have, at least, six delegates over there. I would surely attend only I have an en- gagement at Warren on the first of the following week and one at International Falls on Friday and Saturday of the same week, both of which were arranged for prior to your big convention. I cannot afford to lose too much school time, as you know. However, Mac, I know that you will have a hummer of a meeting and from the first moment when I heard of the move I have been busy in season and out in suggesting to our people the ‘mnecessity and pro- priety of being present and they will surely be there with their good noise for northern Minnesota. You are deserving of congratulations for your energy and success in advo- cating this matter of a representative convention of those interested in our great northern empire and for your persistence in bringing it to what promises to be an epoch-mak- ing event in our progress. The fellows all acknowledge the fact that you are striving toen- lighten the southern darkness of our state as to the business oppor- tunities of this northern country and that you are entitled to their supportin your efforts. Just digin old fellow and when the oppor- tunity presents itself for me to give you or your work a boost just count on me and don,t be afraid to ask what assistance I am capable of rendeging. 1 “would give me greater pleasure than to get over there and give one or'two Highland whoops for northern Minnesota when you have that crowd there. The fellows here’ put ‘me on the delegation to go, but I have begged off on ac- count of ‘those other two engage- ments which I can hardly cancel. With best wishes for your future success ‘and hopes that your great meeting will be everything which you anticipate, I beg to remain, Yours very sincerely, —J. H. Hay.
