THE BEMIDJI DAI " PIONEE i VOLUME 7. NUMBER 284. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 25, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. LOCAL CLUB RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCCESS OF THE FARM AL H. Jester Receives Letter from Secretary of Federa- tion of Commercial Clubs Concerning Demonstration Farm to Be Located Near Bemidji. D Game Animals Will Be Forced to Seek Other Quarters, Through Demand Created for Agricultural Lands, by At the annual meeting of the M 'm-; nesota Federation of commercial clubs, which was held in Minneapolisi in January, Bemidji was recom- mended as one of the cities at which the Minnesota State Agricul- tural College would establisha dem-; onstration farm, where the best up-{ to-date farming methods will be| shown and crops raised which are particularly adapted to this section, with the intention of “schooling” northern Minnesota farmers in en- gaging in lucrative tilling of the soil. W. L. Brooks, A. H. Jester and F. S. Lycan were the Bemidji delegates| tothe Federation convention,and Mr. Jester was sejected to appear before the committee and urge Bemidji’s claim for a demonstration farm. Reason of "Demonstration Farms." It was largely through Mr. Jester’s splendid work with the committee that Bemidji was one of the first eight cities selgcted as the place for the location of a demonstration farm. It is now up to the business men of Bemidji, co-operating with the farmers of this county, to make a success of this ‘“‘demonstration farm,” according to a letter which Mr. Jester has received from Curtis L. Mosher, secretary of the State Federation of Com mercial clubs, which is as follows: “Your attention is called to the following rules and requirements, announced by the State Agricultural College to govern the establishment of demonstration tracts. n “To complete ~ arrangements to secure these tracts your club will ~ [HELLO, THERE Is This Roe & Markusen’s?

To keep intelligent farm accounts on a portion of a farm is not deemed practicable, nor is 1t believed of the best advantage to the farmers of a locality to demonstrate part, and not all, of the farm work. Whenever possible whole farms will be used, that all the farm problems may be carefully studied and the work car- ried on with profit to the owners of the farm, to whom all profits being obtained will naturally accrue. The conditions are as follows: “ ‘The Farm Required. Ownership —The farmers used shall be owned by private individuals, engaged in the business of farming. Where satisfactory arrangements can be made with publicly-owned farms or with farms handled by renters they may also be used. ** 'Size—See above. The farm should be representative of the locality in size, kind of soil and type of farming followed. “ ‘Location—The demonstration farm shall be located so asto be easily accessible from the railway and town, and easily observed by the farming commuuity. ** ‘Selectioni—The selection of the farm shall be made by a committee composed of three members of the Commercial ciub, three:representa- tive farmers chosen by the farmers of the locality at a meeting held for the purpose, and by a representa- tive of the Agricultural College.

Tonight's band concert will begin/ promptly at 8:30 o'clock; and every person who' intends attending the concert should be in their seats at that hour. The regular band concert will be given this evening at the Armory, and much interest is being taken in the event, because of the fact that Professor Harry Masten, director of the band, announces that he will have a very attractive progam, which will be even better than the previous indoor concerts given this winter by the band. It is“the intention of Director Masten tocut the band numbers, especially solos, and to give a more varied program, in which local talent, other than members of the band, will participate. The Bemidji male quartette, Messrs. Rood, Barker, Neilson and French, will render selections, and Mr. Rood will sing a solo, and others who are not yet announced will take part. £ The Bemidji orchestra will give a dance at the close of the concert, the music to be furnished by the orchestra. Bemidji is proud of its band and orches'ra, there is no doubt about the loyalty of local citizens in that respect. But the best exemplifica- tion of this loyalty can be shown by patronizing the concerts given by the band. Prof. Harry Masten has worked wonders with the band and orchestra, and he deserves and should get all financial aid possible. Show your loyalty to the band in the best possible manner, by »ttend- ing the concert Friday_night; and induce all your friends to buy tickets and go;—that’s loyalty of the right kind, PERMANENTLY ORGANIZE - SATURDAY AFTERNOON W.

WOULD-BE SUICIDE HACKS HIS THROAT WITH A KNIFE Charles Axelson, Employe in Lumber Camp near Wilton, . Makes Desperate Attempt to Kill Himself.—Is at Hospital; Condition Grayve. Giving no reason for his rash act, but undoubtedly being temporarily deranged, Charles Axelson, a “lum- berjack” made a desperate attempt to end his eudfl‘y existence by hacking his throat in a terrible man- ner with a pen-knife, while working in a logging camp near Wilton, last evening, Axelson inflicted gaping wounds in his throat, from which the blood gushed freely. Axelson was brought to St. Anthony’s hospital in this city, where his wounds were dressed. He is now lying in a ward in the hosnital, and although 1t was stated that he might live for some little time, there is but small hope of his recovery. Axelson was standing in a crowd of men'at the time he cut his throat, but gave no warning that he con- templated anything desperate. grabbed the knife from his pocket, and before any of the bystanders could interfere, he had cut himself in several places. Axelson will not talk concerning his attempt at self-destruction, other than he said, at one time this morn- ing, that he was sorry that he hadn’t bad a good knife. But little is known of Axelson, except that his mother lives in the old country and that he has a cousin, John Nelson, living at 21 East Superior street, Duluth. - The latter has been telegraphed concerning the attempted suicide.
