The Bagley banker, who is the favorite son of northern Miunesota, and by long odds the strongest A. KAISER. candidate for the republican nomina- tion as state treasurer. He would be a tower of strength to the state A FRIEND-MAKING SALE ONE thing we like about a clearance sale like ours; if we don’t make a lot of profit- selling clothes at less than they're worth, we certainly do make a lot of friends. Every time we get a man into one of our Hart Schaffner & Marx suits and overcoats, we know we've made him a solid friend of our store, and of our merchandise. And we know that friends are worth a good deal more to a business than a few dollars of immediate profit. We want to clean up this entire stock of winter goods; we'd a good deal rather give you the benefit of our extremely low prices now than to carry these goods through until next fall; we're willing to allow you something on the price—a good "generous slice of it—to pay you for doing the cairying over. We're selling Hart Schaffner & Marx fine suits and over- coats in this sale; if you're familiar with what -that name stands for, we needn’t say any more except to quote prices. If you're not familiar by experience, now’s a good time for you to learn the value of good clothes. Suits and overcoats marked down from $35 and $30 to $20 from $25 and $22 to $12. from $12 to $5.% Lots of good bargains to be had in our other departments; we're clearing stock in shirts, in neckwear, in fancy waist- coats, hosiery, hats. Whatever you need to wear is here, and just now is a good time to save money on it. This store is the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx ticket and has a very strong follow- ing in the southern part of the state. He_is not only the logical candi- ate, but is deserving of recognition as a life long republican, who worked in the ranks and was never a candi- date for office. It was his friends who brought him out as a candi- for state treasurer and it is his friends throughout the state who are doing the consistent and effective work in his behalf, As yet he has been but a passive candidate. The Fosston Thirteen Towns has the following to say in an article supporting Mr. Kaiser: “If he becomes an active candidate he will be the popular choice of this section of the state and a substantial and valuable addition to the re- publican state ticket at the elections, if accorded the nomination.,”— Crookston Times. NORTHERN MINNESOTA GETTING TOGETHER [Continued from First Page] ‘{final report until some time this afternoon. It was stated that the committee would recommend a state-wide one-mill tax for roads; a legislative appropriation of $100,000 for the use of the State Immigration commission for adver- tising the state’s resources; sale of enough foreign bonds of the state to provide funds for local loans, especially for school drainage and road bonds. It was thought that the convention would go on record recommending that con- gress pass a general law authoriz- ing the sale of mixed-blood lands on all Indian reservations. Prof. Gray, of the University of Minnesota, delivered an address on “Getting Together.” He stated he was a newcomer to the state, but was' its most enthusiastic citizen. He stated that in getting together, he had studied methods of great corporations, and that some of the ideas of the corporations could be adapted with success in concerted action. The professor stated he was impressed with the unanimity of action of the labor unions in Eng- land, where they acted together with such unanimity of action as to absolutely control the labor condi- tions. Scientific farming “was being fol- lowed by farmers who paid atten- tion to the marketing side of farm- ing. There must be unazimity of action in securing just and equitable rates of transportation and judgment must be used in shipping products, after having decided on what crops are best adapted for any particular section of the state of Minnesota. Farmers should get together in the matter of caring for products and in shipping in large quantities, said Mr. Gray. No complaint as to railroad rates when producers co- operate in sorting, packing and car- ing for products. The speaker told of the profitable sugar beet raising in Germany and recommended that industry af a source of protit for the tarmers of this section, Professor Gray told of the success- ful organization of co-operative societies in Great Britian and Germany whereby better prices are obtained for products, and where general reciprocity of members was greatly beneficial to all members and made the community_ prosper- ous, and where the societies own breeding animals, which is greatly beneficial to dairying and raising of livestock. These societies control the output of products, with the re- sult that better products are raised. We are in the pioneer stage in northern Minnesota and in order to secure better conditions the organi- zation of co-operative societies will do more to secure in common better roads, reapportionment and the aid of the state in standing its just share of deveiopment through assessing state lands or some other equally just proposition, . “Get together on the little things on which you disagree, trim your claws and get together, and by con- certed fighting you can get just representation in ‘the legislature, better roads and develop as the leading section of the state,” con- cludéd Professor Gray. G. G. Hartiey of Duluth de- livered a very strong address. ¢I imagine this meeting covers quite a wide latitude, and you should keep to the subject of de velopment. If you have farming, the manufacturing and other in- dustries will follow,” said Mr. Hartley. Mr. Hartley told of his farming experience in the Red River Val- ley and of riding over this tim- bered section, and stated that there were no really good farms along the lines of railroads, Baking Powder Recsived Highest Award Werld's Pare Food Exposition [ ] Chicago, 1907. Mr. Hartley stated that he had the soil of this section analyzed| and found it was exactly adapted to raising of vegetables, just what| Duluth was paying the most for. He told of selecting the worst| looking place on the Duluth- Crookston Great Northern line (now lsland Farm) and purchased | a large tract of land trom indi- viduals and the state; began clear- | ing and draining the land simul- taneously. Mr. Hartly told of the inability to get good roads and the great hind-| rance existing heretofore in attempts; to secure good schools, because of | the fact that the -siate own.ed much of the adjacent land on which no taxes were paid. The breeding of high-grade stock wis retarded by being compelled to ship animals. “You might as well be in the middle of the Sahara desert as lni settle on many of the farms, which; will be surrounded by state lands[i on which no taxes are paid to assist| in building good roads and establish- | ing schools.” Mr. Hartley commended the move-! ment for reapportionment and ad-| jured the convention to ‘get together! and make every man who is a candi-| date for the legislature pledge him- self to a just and fair representa- tion in the legislature, and to go to the next session united, so that this demand can be forced or legislation blocked, unless the .demand is com- plied with. £ Mr. Hartley alluded to the danger of forest fires and the stingy policy of the state in providing funds for efficiently fighting such fires. The state should have rangers and funds sufficient to properly cope with fires. “Interest the children -in your | farmiog,” said Mr. Hartley, “and| make your farm home attractive to} your boysand girls and they will stay home and draw the salaries paid to laborers and hired girls whose places should be filled by thej children who have gone to the cities to live, disappointed in the pursuits on the farm.” “Farmer” B. L. Perry of Backus made one of the most stirring speeches of the convention, his! talking being chock full of ‘‘zood horse sense,” and ‘provoking much | laughter and genuine commendatory ; applause. “Farmer” Perry is a! thirty-third degree “booster” for | farming and the general develop- ment of northern Minunesota. State Auditor Iverson and others spoke this afternoon; and an outline: of this afternoon’s proceedings will | be given in tomorrow’s Pioneer. | MIDJI ICE CO. PHONE 406 lBE GEO.
