—— e ——— ~ THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE Hlstorical Society. SHEA MINNESGTA SOCIETY, VOLUME 7. NUMBER 284. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. “EASY PROFIT WEEK, EASTER PRIZE” - “TWO0 AWARDS FOR ONE EFFORT” Now Is the Time.---Win the Easter Prize and Pile Up Your Votes for the Capital, Grand, District and This is Easy Profit Week for the ladies of Bemidji and the Northland as they are undoubtedly aware of ’ere this. It is open to all whether they are entered in the Bemidji Pio- neer’s Mammoth Prize Contest now or enter this week. This Easter Prize does not interfere in any way with the votes that are issued on all subscriptions npew or old. The votes counting the same as usual. Ladies, this is your chance to double up and win two prizes with the same effort, or in other words, kill two birds with one stone. Win one of the Capital, Grand, Dis- trict or Sub-district Prizes and this dandy suit-case too. Are you going to? You can if you are a-mind to. Its up to you. The British generals laughed, when told on a Christmas Eve al- most two hundred and fifty years ago, that Washington was contem- plating crossing the Deleware. They and their Hessian hirelings laughed and scoffed, and scorned the idea. Saying: “Why Washington and his army of tramps couldn’t whip a band of school boys, let alone the British in Trenton.” So they drank on and sang, and caroused ‘till almost morning of Christmas day, and while they made merry and wiled away their vuluable time Washing- ton and his band of Patriots crossed the ice-filled river, and captured Trenton. This is an old story to you all we know but one that should be taken to heart and remembered. Its this sort of courage and determination that is needed to win in this battle of votes the Bemidji Pioneer has inaugerated. Don’t laugh and say "I can’t.” Remember what Noah Webster says. “There mno such word in the English language.” And in this day and generation of miracles all things seem possible. Enter the Race Today. Your chances to win are as good as ever. Several ladies have been Sub-District Prizes.. heard to remark “I wish I had entered the Pioneers’s Mammoth Prize Contest but it’s too late now.” This is a mistake, today the lady who enters has just as good a chance to win one of the many valuable prizes as if she had entered before. One who has a large number of friends has just as good a chance to enter now and come out successful as if she had entered before. Her friends upon seeing her nomination in the Contest will not give their votes to any one else. That is one reason why a lady entering today or tomorrow for that matter has as good an oppurtunity of winning out as if she had entered before. Then another reason is that every friend of hers is going to speak to a friend of theirs to save their votes for her and so it goes, on and on, till the votes rush in like a tidal wave. Exposed. A new “Get Rich Quick Scheme” has been exposed by the Bemidji Pioneer. Some lady of Bemidji or the Northland is going to make more friends than she ever had before and earn Two Hundred Dollars a week while she does it. It may be you or one of your fair friends. Look over the list of Candidates and find out which one it is. Are you making Two Hundred Dollars a week at your present employment? Would you like to, provided the work was agreeable and comparatively easy? Well, that is what the Bemidji Pioneer is offer- ing some lady of Bemidji or the Northland. Its pretty nice to have friends and be able to earn as much as $1100 by May 1st. If the propo- sition appeals to you, go to your friends and tell them so, also that you have decided to win the ‘“White Streak” Model 10 Buick, that the Pioneer is giving away.

There are four ways to get votes as follows: One, by clipping the vote coupons thatare run in the paper each day. Two, by getting any person who is not taking the Daily or Weekly Pioneer to subscribe to it. This subscription is classed as NEW, and votes will be issued on it accord- ing to the Vote Schedule printed elsewhere. Three, by getting any person who is now taking the Daily or Weekly Pioneer to pay up their back sub- scriptions. This is classed as OLD, and votes will be issued on it ac- cording to the Vote Schedule printed elsewhere. Four, by getting any person who is now taking the Daily or Weekly Pioneer whose subscription is paid to date, to pay the same in advance. This is a renewal and is classed as OLD. Votes will be issued on the same according to Vote Schedule printed elsewhere. Now, how to count the votes, this you will find in the Voting Scheduled. For each subscription turned into the Pioneer Office accompanied by the cash, a Vote Certificate will be issued for the amount of votes said subscription entitles the candidate to; in whose favor it is given. These certificates are not transferable and do not haveto be voted when the subscription is turned in and certificate made out; but may be polled at the discretion of the condidate AT ANY TIME during the life of the contest. More Motor Fun, Less Motor Trouble. More motor fun, less motor trouble, thats what every owner of an autombile desires, thats why we chose the “White Streak” Model 10 Buick as a Capital Prize in the Pio- neer’s Mammoth Contest. If you want to last up a hill, you will have to think about the kind and class of machine you are driving. You must have a well constructed powerful and staunch machine to stand the strain that is puton it in such critical crises as hill-climbing or a heavy sandy road, This is where the Buick shines. Why the Buick Wins. Some people ask: ‘“Why is it the Buick cars always seem to win the majority of the races they enter over higher priced cars of Inter- national reputation?”’ From a mechanical standpoint this is very easily explained: The Buick engine is constructed with the valves in the center of the cylinder head; the intake, in the exhaust valves being so placed that the charge of the gas is taken directly over the piston; the ignition taking place in the center of the charge. This gives the Buick Eugine twenty per cent more power than it is posible to get out of any other engine of the same cubic contents of other valve con- struction. Power means SPEED. It is also possible by this construction to get This is why you see the Buick car driven about the streets with the same ease as one driven by electricity. It being possible to throttle the engine down to a very low speed without killing the power. It is not necessary to change the gears in order to bring your car down in speed so that it can be driven through traffic. Ninety per cent of Automobile trouble generates in the lubricating system. This is where the Buick shines. Its oiling being a feature in itself. It is not possible to make one that can fill a bottle full ‘of water can fill the oil reservoir and the working of the machine will take lwe of the rest. it feed more or feed less and any) The handsome, useful ‘and valuable Easter Prize is a natural tanned calf, leather lined, ladies’ suit case with straps, shirt waist folds and full brass trimmings, valued at and selling for $15, which was purchased and is on display in the show window of the well known clothiers, Schnei- der Brothers, in Bemidji. This handsome prize is onme that with a little care will last an ordinary person a life time. It is made of the finest leather ob- tainable and is the finished product of skilled workmen. This case was chosen by Mr. Emil Schneider himself as he considered it the finest one he had in stock and the best value obtainable for the money. Note: Votes will be issued on all subscriptions and count the same as usual towards the Capital, Grand, District and Sub- District Prizes." See display ad elsewhere in this addition. N Ten Year Old Girl Drives ‘“‘White Streak.” The proof that the Buick is sim- plicity itself, was proven yesterday morning when Margarite Stoner the ten year old daughter of M. D. Stoner drove the “White Streak,” the Pioneer’s Capital Prize, from the Pioneer Office through the streets of Bemidji to the County Fair grounds and back, without a single bit of aid. Many saw her, did you? Is this consise enough proof that the car is simple as we say? Music is the Soul- of Harmony. Music is the Soul of Harmony. It acts on the human mind and heart as an emotional elixir reaching into the very soul of the inner being and enwafting our emotions too and fro’ like reeds in a wind. There is music in all things if we had but the ears to hear it, or the soul to find it. Music whose weird charms Soothes the most savage. The whole world at times seems to forget itself when moved with a concord of sweet sounds, so enanimated are we to it that without it, it would seem a dull and dreary world. The) Kimball Piano, the Pioneer is going to give to some lady of the Northland is a musical instrument of the mellowest of tones. If you love good music you must have a good instrument to obtain it and if you want to hear it as you have never heard it before with a beauty and expression of tone entirely new be sure and hear the Kimball Piano the Pioneer is going to give away. Go to Bisiar and Murphy’s who have it on display and they will gladly play on it any music you want to hear, If you are fond of Grand Opera, ask to have the “El Travador” played. Treasure of a Life Time. Back six thousand years ago to the reign of Remni in Egypt, the beautitul blue white diamond has been regarded as the most scared of treasures. Even then lives were lost, whole countries devasted in the greedy desire for the sparkling white carbons. In recent years we have the more familiar example of that greedy, powerful nation, Great Britain, reaching out hun- gry hands to crush a mere handful of people in the Orange Free State and Transval; into submission, for the earth’s most priceless gem, the diamond. The beautiful white water dia- mond, valued at $100 and selected by G, T. Baker from his stock of selected stones, is one of the most perfect stones of its size ever seen in Bemidji. Mr. Baker, who selected this stone and set it and of whom it was pui- chased, backs it up with his absolute guarantee, Musicial Education Essenfial. One of the requisites of every ladie’s education is her musical training. No lady is really equipped for the social world or private life today without having mastered the rudimentary principles of music. The four musical scholarships that are valued at $60 each in Masten’s Conservatory of Music are worth the best efforts of every one to obtain, * Mr. and Mrs Harry Masten, who superintend the teaching of the violin ahd piano are acknowledged everywhere to be accomplished musicians of the highest order. Under the supervision of two such able instructors one may obtain an insight into music that cannot be found elsewhere. in the Northland. This is a splendid opportunity the Pioneer is offering vou to get the final touches or the first elementary steps of your musical career. Are you going to pass it by? Do not? It is the opportunity of a life time that is knocking at your door. A Beautiful Keep-Sake. Is there anything one values so and that has so many associations with happenings and events in life as a watch. On display in the win- dow of George T. Baker are six gold watches, which the Pioneer is Zoing to award to six ladies of the Northland. Each one is a treasure in itself. Beautiful to look at and of real substantial value. The kind of a watch any lady can be proud of and willing to display at any time or any place. A watch that will|, last you a life-time. One that you can hand down to the future genera- tion with a reminiscence of former days. The Way the Prizes Will Be Awarded. First, The lady receiving the highest number of vetes in the con- test whether she reside in District A or B will receive the “‘White Streak” Model 10 Buick. The Pio- neer is going to give asa Capitol Prize in this Contest.

W. BAILEY SUFFERS STROKE OF PARALYSIS Left Side Temporarily Paralyzed.— Judge’s Condition Was Somewhat Improved This Afternoon. While sitting in his office, in the city hall, yesterday afternoon at about 3:30 o’clock, Judge H. W. Bailey suffered a paralytic stroke, which, while it did not prove fatal, deprived the judge of the use of his entire left side, including his left arm and left leg and caused him to be taken to his home, where he is -now confined to his bed. While his condition is very serious it is not believed that the paralytic stroke would prove fatal, Mr, Bailey had just completed performing a kindly act when he was stricken and only Chief of Police Benner was present when the judge became ill.
