Have you identified yourself with the Bemidji Pioneer’s $2500.00 con- test yet? If you haven’t, how do you expect to grab off any of the prizes? Nothing is to be gained by precrastination. Precrastination be- ing nothing but a Thief of time. Wake up! Get a move on yourself, get on the “Band Wagon” and join the procession. Send in your name and get busy gathering your votes. You may imagine it is too late to|same desert is the home of many enter the race and become the win- ner of the automobile. That’s where you are mistaken, there is as good a chance today to enter the race and win as there was on Monday. Do not loose any more valuable time. You are loosing votes with it, Why isn’t this a dandy car? 1 never thought it run so easy, it’s aperfect dear, is’t it? That's a comment one lady made on the ““White Streak,” the Buick car the Pioneer is giviny as the capi- tal prize in this battle of votes. They scoffed at Napoleon and laughed him out of school, yet the very men who scorned his company and mocked him as a block-head, worshiped the very ground he walked on in later years. Don’t let those who call themselves your friends jeer and scorn you out of this race for votes that has not as yet fairly begun. There are many who will say to you, “I wouldn’t do anything like that.” Do you kmow the reason why? Because; ninety- nine times out of a hundred those very people, couldn’t if they were a mind to. They are Peresites, nonproducers, that’s why, and that is the reason why they say what they say, and do as they do. and votes mean a prize. Summon all your energy and ambition to- gether and strive to win one of these prizes. There are $2500.00 worth, and you can have any of them if you can get enough votes. The prizes are here. Do you want any of them? If so, send in your name and get busy. Thirty odd years ago the govern- ment of the United States sent General Hazen then chief of the signal corpsand a small staff of army officers, across: the Mississippi river to spy out the country that is now known as northwestern Minne- sota, North and South Dakota and eastern Montana. They went, and when they came back their reports, concisely summed up were “A great alkili desert that is fit only for In- dians and Buffalo.” Today this thousands of people and yields many millions bushels of grain, How was it done? By the unceasing, unre- lenting, untiring industry of the early pioneer.

Pioneer, or deposited in one the Safety Certain to Be Desired Whatever your reasons may be for opening a bank account, on> thing you are certain to desire is absolute safety for your money. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK has had ten years of successful experience and the substantial and steady growth of its business during this time is a direct result of the promptness and efficiency with which it has handled the affairs of its patrons. If you will investigate the advantages afforded by this bauk for safeguarding money, you will be con- vinced of the wisdom of placing your funds in its care, as it hasa Capital and Surplus amouuting to $60,000.00 and is the oldest bank m North Central Minnesota.

You will have, just as the Dakota Pioneer did; all sorts of difficulties. The pioneer had the blizzards in the win- ter, cyclones and draughts in the summer with a few grasshoppers mixed in, but grit and energy finally overcame these difficulties until today he has made this region the paradise of the Middle West. Your case is not so hard when you come to size it up. But to get votes requires a few of the same qualities that enabled the Pioneers of the Dakotas to subdue the desert. Votes Pour In. The votes continue to come in and the trouble thickens. The thicker it becomes the more energy you will need. Be animated by the spirit that enable Napolians old guard to answer, when called upon to retreat, “The guard dies, but never retreats.” Buick Touring Car. The capital prize of the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammonth Contest will be a $1,050.00 Buick automobile, Model 10, touring car. This car is one that any lady would be proud to call her own. The Buick has made some extraordinary records for speed and reliability, and has shown up prominently in every contest for the past two years. We need not go into detail as to the qualities of the Buick; we know them, you know them, and anything we might say here would add little, to, the already good opinion everyone holds of this machine. Model 10 is a four-passenger tour- ing car. It isfast, staunch and power- ful enough for a trans-continental trip, and handsome enough for a park parade. In every respect, this car is a hummer; one you wouldn’t ‘be ashamed of; its an automobile Everybody | - that delivers the goods. knows it, and that’s the reason the Jewett Auto company who are the agents for the Buick -cars. Buick cars are considered everywhere .as excellent value for the money, and you can win this machine if you have the ambition to and get into the field. Every friend you have will be glad to aid you with” such a purpose as this in view. z It is difficult to concieve how anybody can pass by such an at- tractive offer as this contest pre- sents. When there is a chance to obtain this beautiful machine for really nothing ,but a few moments of spare time. All you need is a little ambition and a little energy. Become a candidate at once and you may become an owner of the Buick automobile at no expense to yourself. Do not delay for - the earlier you start the better chance you have to pile up the votes.

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- 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 stord. | Dou’t take dur word- for-it; ‘eall and son with'the many large diamonds; 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 training is com- plete without a knowledge of music. This is a splendid chance to se- cure your long-cherished desires, to obtain 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 ofa lifetime and is the desire of every young lady who is not possessor of one now. Are Worth Trying-For. Such valuable pfizéé‘are worth & year of industrious, energetic work, Bemidji Pioneer selected it of the Het 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 mnosedout 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. Is Absolutely Fair and Square. 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- tricts, one to the contestant obtain- 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 Band the scholarship and : watches to those who are high- and second highest in the race in the sub-districts. The Bemidji Pioneer in this con- test, as in everything, is without fear or favor for any person and a Blackduck lady has the same show as the lady at Tenstrike or any other town or village in the North- land. No one need fear that they will not get a FAIR SHOW and if she will display a little energy and 18 not afraid of a little work it "is difficult to imagine how a prize will| not be awarded her. _[Omngmun Page 4] ) good one, and if you desire success, |see it.

A splendid program was given in connection with the contest, in which the Bemidji High School orchestra made a hit, as did also the glee club, and Miss Hanson with bher solo, all of the selections being received with applause. The following were the selections rendered by the different contest- ants: ““The Chariot Race,” Roy Blood, Grand Rapids; “The Famine,” Dona Davis, Park Rapids; ‘“Mrs. Marvin’s Story,” Miss Wayne, Cass Lake; “Tonssaint L’ouveture,” Hiram Simons, Jr., Bemidji; “Arena Scene from Quo Vadis,” Mr. Ames, Akeley; “At the Photographer’s,” Vera Rice, Rark Rapids; “Mayme’s Story of Red Riding Hood,” Roxy Utley, Cass Lake; “Mrs._Caudle’s Lecture on Shirt Buttons,” Miss sell reasonable.

The judges”of the contest were Prof. Mclntire, superintendent of the Crookston city schools, Rev. F. J. Barackman of Bl/ackduck and Rev. Keihm of Walker, and the summary of their findings and markings for place were as follows: Roy Blood of Grand Rapids and Dona Davis of Park Rapids, tied for first place in the serious selec- tlon; Hiram Simons of Bemidji, third in the serious selection. - J. W. Peterson of Akeley, first in the humorous selection, Emil Engels of Bemidji, second. Park Rapids, first; Grand Rapids, second; Bemidji, third; Akeley, fourth; Cass Lake, fifth—this was the final standing of the contesting schools for places in the summary. ‘The general expression of all who attended the contest was that the declamations were all of a particu- larly high character and were de- livered in a manner that did great credit to this section of the state. While the findings of the judges is not questioned, there were many who were of the opinion that Hiram Simons of this city should have been given first place in the serious selec- tion; in fact, Professor Mclntire, of the Crookston city‘, schools, unhesi- tatingly marked the Bemidji boy first.
