THEL BEMIDJI DAI Y PIONEE VOLUME 7. NUMBER 282. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. THE YOTES ARE PILING IN TO CONTEST DEPARTMENT Prospective Entrants Should Get Into the Race at Once. —Most of the Candidates Are Sending in Subscrip- tions and Coupons.—Not too Late to Enter Yet. Have you entered the contest? Are you going to? If so enter to- day. Don’t delay until tomorrow and get your proportion of the $2500 in prizes the Bemidji Pioneer is so generously offering the ladies of Bemidji and the Northland. This may be your first, last and only opportunity to gain a valuable prize for the devotion of a little of your spare time. Your chances are just as good as anybody else’s if you start now. The poet Virgil sang, many years ago. ‘‘Sieze the moment Oh! com- panions, it is tomorrow that we shall tempt the mighty ocean.” Get a move on you and enter your name and tomorrow launch your ship upon the current of votes that are floating around loose. Be a vote- gatherer. If you but knew it, you may be the record vote-gatherer. You have never tried. How do you know that you wouldn’t be? You perhaps are uawilling to begin, but the old saying is “A poor beginning is always a good finish.” You are like the boy who wants to be a swimmer and does not know how easy it is to swim uatil he tries it. Finally he starts. He fully expects to drown but he does not. He starts, feebly at first may be, but soon with more confidence as he finds himself conquorer of the deep, and he comes out of tne water a swimmer. You may feel funny or a little queer at first, but after you have obtained your start and gotten your first bunch of votes you will gain confidence and finally find yourself to be a first-class vote getter. With your name among the list of candidates for the Pioneer’s prizes you have a standing. Your position is easily recognized by those whom you approach. You are not asking them to subscribe to a blind pool, and you are asking votes of them because you want to win one of the prizes and in return you offer them Spring is here and summer is not a long ways off. Itis getting warmer and warmer every day, and with the warm weather ones thoughts naturally turn to the pastiimes and the playgrounds of nature to wile away the leisure moments. To quote Longfellow, ‘“What is so rare as a day in June,” and what is? Away from the din and noise of the city into the virgin forests that surround Bemidji is many a shady nook and quiet spot where one may enjoy a few hours’ rest in nature’s solitudes. To be able to take advantage of all the beauties that surround us here, it is almost essential to have an automobile—one of the type that the Bemidji Pioneer is giving away in this contest. Then one may spin away miles into the country, or the forest, and enjoyall that nature has so plentifully provided this beauti- ful region with. A R S It is a laudable ambition and your friends and acquaintances will recog- nize it as such and aid you in your search for votes. Motoring Has Many Attractions. “Do you think I could learn to drive a car,” asked a lady at the Chicago Auto show, who, from her distinctive appearance and stylish attire, and the suggestion of breeding in' her pose, might have been a society leader of prominence. ‘‘Of course you could in a short time. We will be glad to teach you on the car,” was the reply of the representa- tive of an auto company. From her manner it seemed that the lady had been expecting this answer. Itis generally known that this is what salesmen say; but how many auto- mobile dealers encourage the owner to drive her own car after the delivery has been made; perhaps make the suggestion that a hired driver is needed for comfort, and a host of other reasons? To own and drive your own auto teaches decision, the faculty to meet, consider and cope with obstacles without hesititation. Is not this the sport of ladies of acumen? It teaches patience, for the driver learns that she must always be occupied and full value for what you ask of them. composed in order to successfully ARTHUR N.

Gould 1st Door North of Northern National Bank Bemidji, overcome the difficulties in driving in traffic. Driving, and more particularly caring for the car develops observa- tion, creates a necessity for ingenuity, and broadens the mind by teaching reasoning and calculationin a new school. Perhaps the calculation for atime may be confined to such points as to which direction the cow will take, or the ability to take care of herself or the car; but it _will readily develop into a well defined study of human beings and animal nature, for motoring, like no other form of pleasure, brings one into almost constant touch-with all kinds and classes of people. There are many other points of instruction in the curriculum of the motor car university, which when separately considered, are equally significent. Motoring is better than a doctor’s prescription, for in this enlightened age there are few who do not believe that fresh airis always-a penecea for the ills of the body. In no other way can one get the fresh air as effective into the lungs as by the use of the motor car with the wind-shield down, as the motion of the vehicle acts as an air pump to send air into the lungs of the lung- derived body, quickening the circula- tion anh puting color into the pale cheeks, and when with the wheel in her hands she forgets herself and considers the road and all that is on the ground. The day is rapidly passing when motoring is considered the past- time of poutocrats. It is rapidly be- coming the fad of everyone and cars are becoming within the reach of all. More and more of the middle classes are driving their own cars this year than ever before and today the Buick is better than the $10,- 000 cars manufactured six years ago. Even today motoring is becoming more” the pastime of the ladies. More and more of them are in- dulging in it, finding in it a charm that surpasses all other kinds of amusement. It is safer to motor than te drive a team of thorough- breds and the Buick Model 10’s managing control is so simple that achild can run it, yet it has the strength of Samson, the speed of Apollo and the durability of a Harriman, Grand Prize. Every lady needs a piano, and here the chance is offered to you for nothing. The amount of amuse- ment and delight to be derived for oneself and her friends from a fine musical instrument such as the one to be given in this Contest will more than fully repay you for the amount of energy that you may ex- pend in its acquisition. District Prize. The beautiful blue-white diamond ring, valued at $100, that will be given as the DISTRICT PRIZE in District B to some young lady of the Northland, is one of the finest stones of its character ever set'or seen in a ring in Bemidji. Cut by a master hand so that the beautiful hues of blue, red and gold, the property of none but the perfect diamond, flashes with effervescent glow that one is unable to describe. Tnough a small stone in compari- son with the many large diamonds one sees now-a-days, it is, neverthe- less, a beauty. No better stone ever came from the Kimberly district of South Africa than that on display now at George T. Baker’s store. Don’t take our word for it; call and see it. It is guaranteed and backed by Mr. Baker. Sub-District Prizes. The acknowledged worth and need of a musical education today by ladies is becoming more and more an established fact. No lady’s edu- cation and social traininz is com- plete without a knowledge of music. This is a splendid chance to se- cure your long-cherished desires, to obEain your first elementary step or the finishing touches of your musical career. Do not let this opportunity pass by. Opportunity knocks at your door but once in a lifetime. It -is knocking now. Are you going.to take it in? After careful consideration on the part of the manager of ' the Bemidj: Pioneer, ‘these scholarships ‘were obtaained of Masten’s (Conservatory of Music from the offerings-of ‘the entire Northland. The many courses laid out in the various departments and the knowledge of the instructors are invaluable to the student de- siring to broaden . her musical education. There are four-of these scholarships, valued at $60 each, which is really worth the best efforts of any young lady in Bemidji to win. Six Gold -Watches - for - Sub-District Prizes. “Aren’t they beauties?” That’s the comment that was_ overheard by one young lady examining the dis- play of gold watches that are to be given away as sub-district prizes in this Mammoth Contest, at George T. Baker’s store, ~yesterday. That’s what everyone says; that’s what you will say when you see them. To 'possess'a watch is to possess the treasure of a lifetime and is'the desire of every young lady who is not possessor of one now. Are Worth Trying For. Such valuable prizes are worth a year of industrious, energetic work, let alone five short weeks or so to win, and those who have already entered must bend their energies to accomplish these results. Those who have not already entered this contest are losing valuable time and you will regret when you find some- one has nmnosedout winner ahead of you. Scan the list pub- lished through carefully and see if yourn ame and your sub-district is correctly enrolled and if it should not notify the contest Manager at once. If your nomination blank has not been sent or brought in do not dis- pair but send it at once. Some CONTESTANTS are so eager that they have wired from outside dis- trict making sure that their names are correctly enrolled. This is the proper spirit. You can be. sure that these contestants are earnestly at work and do not intend to overlook any opportunity. Nominations Published Today.

And now'a word to our friends who live outside the city of Bemidji. Some people are so sceptical by nature that they cannot or will not understand that ABSOLUTE FAIR- NESS is the-keynote of the Bemidji Pioneer in this contest. They say, “What’s the use; Bemidji people will see that all prizes will stay in the city.” That iswhat the boys call “Tommy-rot.” . Such a thing is impossible. Every- one is under the system of dis- tricts and sub-districts and has the same chance. The CAPITAL and GRAND PRIZES will be rewarded, one -to the contestant obtaining the largest number-of votes in all dis- ing the second largest amount of votes in all the districts. The DIS- TRICT prizes -will be awarded to the candidate getting the most votes in District . B and the scholarship and watches to those who are high- and second highest in the race in the sub-districts.

I of Crookston Come to Bemidiji July 4th. A sham battle, with 200 well- drilled members of the Minnesota National Guard participating in realistic maneuvers that will make the blood thrill, is a feature which itis hoped can be secured fcr the: Fourth of July, the opening day of the annual tournament of the Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association, which will be ‘held in Bemidji July 4-5-6-7, and for the success of which the Bemidji fire department and' the Bemidji Com- mercial club, aided by other local organizations, are putting forth every effort. Captain' Adam E. Otto, command- ing Co. K of Bemidji, M. N. G., has suggested the plan of a sham battle for the opening day of the tourna- ment (“also the day we celebrate”— July 4), and has offered his aid and that of the company in making a success of the touruament -and - the celebration on the opening’ day. “I have made formal applica- tion to Col. C. E. Johnson, colonel commanding the Third regiment, M. N. G., for -permission -and aid from the state in securing the pres- ence of Co. I of Crookston, Captain Leahy commanding, Co. L of Thief River Falls, Captain Wiste com- manding, as well as Co. K of Be- midji. The boys will have just re- turned from camp at Lake City (which will be held from June 20 to June 29), and the companies will be in fine form to give the people of the north half of the state a splendid demonstration of military tractics, more especially up-to-date movements in an actual engagement. “With full membership attending from Crookston and Thief River Falls, 'and Co. K. making a strong showing, there would be over 200 men in line; and we shall, if given permission and aid from the state, try to secure two or more pieces of artillery, which would make the battle much more realistic. “The maneuvers would include all the regulation battle formations, including line formations, modes of aatack, firing, etc., and with promi- nent officials of the National Guard of the state commanding, and all officers on horseback, with artillery in action, the scene would be an imposing one. “The members of the three com- panies could camp on the fair grounds, where there would be plenty of room for the battle and the tented ‘homes’ for the men. “I have every hope of securing the permission and promise of aid of the state in making the contem- plated battle a huge success.” GET THE BANKING HABIT-- IT PAYS The more bank depositors there are in a community, the more prosperous that locality will be, both as far as the indi- vidual citizens are concerned, and also as regards the com- munity as a whole. prosperity.
