The time is short to be sure, but your opportunity is just as good as it ever was. ‘Where there’s a will there’s a way.” If you want to win the Easter Prize you can find the will way and this way would be through | your friends. Tell them you’re after it and you’re going to win it with their aid and you can rest assured their help will be forthcom- ing. This is a chance opportunity that the Bemidji Pioneer is offering. One of the kind that only comes once in a life time. An opportunity not alone to win the beautiful Easter Prize, but also to pile up your votes for the Capitol, Grand, Dis- trict and Sub-District prizes—in other words cross two streams over one bridge. There are many different kinds of suit cases offered to the public today, ranging in price from the canvas imitation leather case selling for a couple of doilars to the alligator and seal skin case at $50 and $60. The first mentioned there is no need to dwell on. Everybody knows what they are and what they are worth, that is, they are worth all you pay for them, and no more. The alligator and seal skin cases, however, are worth all that is asked for them, not that they are any better or as good from the practical value side; but, There are just two more days of Easy Profit Week left in which to win the Easter Prize. This is your chance. Are you going to pass it by? Kill two birds with one stone. Pile up your votes for the Capitol, Grand District and Sub-District Prizes and win the beautiful Easter Prize. This natural tan calf, leather- lined ladies’ suit case, with straps, shirt-waist folds and full brass trimmings is of the very latest design. It is a perfect beauty. Money can buy no better in a calf case than this. One may spend more for alligator or seal skin cases but the real wearing value is no greater, and in many cases not as great as that of this case. With a little care a case of this kind will last with ordinary usage, a life time. It is made of the finest, most select and carefully tanned calf obtainable and is the product of skilled workmen. Now days when everyone travels more or less a suit cass is not only a convenience but a necessity and a good onme is a treasure. In selecting this case Mr. Emil Schneider chose this one as he considered it the most practical of real value he had in stock, and he will hand it to the winner with the guarantee that it is the best that money can buy. alligator and seal are very rare and expensive leathers; they are very In all Styles, Shapes and Sizes.

Manufacturing Jewelers 116 Third Street Near the Lake handsome and showy; naturally these leathers being rare and hard to procure, and there being a large demand for them, a case made from them would therefore cost three or four times as much as one made of more common variety of leather as calf. An alligator or seal skin case (to put it plain) is too expen- sive a one for any but a millionare as the life of them is no greater than that of a first-class calf skin case, When you want real value for your money never follow style or fade but take the staple. One of general recognized style that is a favorite with the masses. That is the reason Mr. Emil Schneider selected the case he did as the Easter Prize for easy Profit Week as he considered it the best all-around ladies’ suit case that he had in stock of practical rock-bottom value. Still Opportunities For New Candidates. Still there are some fine oppor- tunities left for new candidates in some of the Sub-Districts in and out of the City of Bemidji. For some reason or other a good many of the ladies of the Northland are over- looking the fact that there are $85 in prizes in each Sub-District in and out of the City of Bemidji in the Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Contest outside the Grand, Capitol and Dis- trict Prizes. Are you awake to this fact, if not its time to quit sleeping: to get up and get a move on your- self and carry off cne of the Pioneer’s handsome and valuable prizes. Never before in the history of Be- midji or Northern Minnesota, has an opportunity equal to this been offered to the ladies of this section. It is one, in all probability, that will never be offered again. Like Halley's Comet. The Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Contest can be compared with Hal- ley’s comet, as the opportunity it presents is similar to the periodical appearance of the world-famous Astronomer’s comet. Once every four hundred years, or thereabouts, in the month of March, Halley’s comet makes its appearance; a most spectacular appearance; one that rouses the interest and the curiosity of most every individual, be he pauper or king. This statement is easily vouched for whea one is abroad on a clear night now and sees whole families gathered on the front porch or the lawn passing the field glasses from one another to catch a glimpse of this mysterious and awesome spectacle. , Once in everyone’s life time it is said, an opportunity is presented to better one’s self in means and that this opportunity is not repeated; that once it knocks at your door, and you do not take it in; it is lost to you forever. Do you know today that the Bemidji Pioneer is holding such a glittering oppor- tunity before your eyes and that it BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 24, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. is knocking at your door—yes, right now—this very minute? Are you going to take it in? Like Halley’s Comet, it 'will not be repeated, in all probability during your life time. Twenty-five hundred dollars in magnificent prizes. Just stop and think of it—why its a fortune. Men have been known to slave and save a life time for but a half of it, yet here today the. Pioneer is offering this vast amount in rich prizes to the ladies of the Northland for but a few moments of their spare time each day. Take a Lesson From Halley. In the tale of Sir John Halley, the most famous Astronomer of the 17th century, we can all take a lesson. John Halley, the son of a poor cobbler of Nasseau Street of East Liverpool, England, from a boy of six used to while away his time on the clear nights star-gazing. “‘He was moou-struck” so the neighbors said, but nevertheless, he kept on| star-gazing, seeking out the vanish- ing forms of life in the Milky Way of, Mystery. His theory was that falling or shooting stars were not simply vanishing -phantoms of mementary existance but substantial bodies that revolved on an imaginary circuit which took them a given number of years to cover, therefore, after keen observation and study, when the Cumet appeared now known as “Halley’s Comet” he made this announcement and proved ment with the scientific world and entirely revolutionized the world of Astronomy. Perseverance — that was all; thats what wins out every time—perseverance or sticktoitive- ness. If you have got'it you are going to get- there, thats all -you need to win in this battle of votes the Bemidji Pioneer has inaugerated. Enter your name today and set to work gathering votes. Stick to it. Make up your mind you are going to get there—your perseverance will make you win.

SUGAR BEET EXPERT COMING. A. H. Jester, secretary of the Bemidji Commercial club, announced this noon that W. E. Fust of Minne- apolis, agricultural expert for the Carver County Sugar company, would be in Bemidji next Monday after- noon and address a meeting of farmers and others interested in the beet sugar industry and the raising of sugar beets, at 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Fust is an acknowledged expert authority on the matter of sugar beet raising and the manufacture of the beet sugar, and his address will {be of a very interesting character. Mr. Fust will address a meeting at Bagley Saturday and one at Black- duck Tuesday. . The efforts of the North-Central Minnesota Shippers’ Association to assist very materially in the raising of sufficient sugar beets to interest outside capital in the building of a beet sugar factory in Bemidji, and the hearty co-operation of the Bemidji Commercial Club, is begin- ning to bear something like the desired result; and recent corres- pondence between J. J. Opsahl, secretary of the Shippers’ associa- tion, and the management of the beet sugar factory at Chaska indicates that the Carver County Sugar company, owners of the Chaska factory, will co-operate in every way to make the demonstration that sugar beets in this section can be raised in sufficient quantities and possess the necessary saccahrine qualities to insure the successful operation of a big factory which may be established here. Secretary Opsahl today received the following letter from H. A. Fleigel, the manager for the Carver County Sugar company: “We herewith wish to confirm our conversation with you on March 17th last, At this time you stated that your company was desirous of contracting for approximately 200 acres of sugar beets, to be grown in the vicinity of Bemidji. “It is further understood between us, that this acreage was to be of an experimental nature and that they would be grown as a demonstration, with the view of showing capital that a beet sugar factory could be located in Bemidji, and be successful. “We are practically assured by the representatives of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Soo lines that liberal rates will be estab- lished from Bemidji to Chaska, which will enable this company to pPay $4 per ton net on all beets f. 0. b. shipping station. “Further, we agreed to send you what hand seeders we may have on hand free of expense to your com- pany. Also to send one of our representatives to three different places that you might designate, for the purpose of instructing and lecturing on the culture of beets. “In conclusion I wish to say that if at any time you desire to send auyone here, during the time beets are growing, we would be glad to show you the fields hereabouts, and how the work is done.” Secretary Opsahl states that su- gar beet seeds will be furnished to those who desire to plant the beets at 10c per pound, the pay for the same to be taken out of the first beets which are shipped to the fac- tory in the fall, Married Last Night.
