The story of the for-get-me- not is probably familiar to every- one of you; growing as it does on the edges of rocky precipices, it is little wonder that the legend of the flower’s name seems such a reality. Two lovers strolling in the Alps of Switzerlard along a narrow mountain path skirting a deep canyon, saw a pretty delicate blue flower growing on its very edge. The girl, im- pressed with the dainty beauty of the bloom, requested her escort to pluck it for her, and, heeding her bidding, he made haste to do so. Just as he had accomplished his task the treacherous ground beneath his feet shattered, throwing him backwards and causing him to lose his balance, however, as he fell, he threw the dainty blossom to his sweet- heart, saying *‘For-get-me-not.” And to this day the name remains in memory of the one who lost his life to gain his sweetheart’s simple wish. To win success in this race you must be ready, willing and consistent as this lover was, and success will be yours. You must find the places where the votes are, just as you must seek seek the places where the for- get-me-nots grow. Then, find- ing them, you must pluck them. You will find that votes, like for-get-me-nots, come in bunches and you run onto them when you least expect to and when you find them you must be on the spot immediately, ready to gather them in; for by tomorrow’s sun they may have vanished into - the hamper of some other Candidate. Be like the boy who is in swimming, when another asks him, “How’s the water, Bill”’ Ah Gee! it's fine, kid, come on in. That’s the way to get votes. Get right into the battle and gather them up hungarily and shout for more. Pl — for the reliability, speed and power of their cars. “All The World Loves A Winner.” District - A. Sub-District No. 1.

The: Bemidji band, under the direction of Professor Harry ‘Masten, delighted’ Bemvi_dji” lovers -of ‘music, indoor coucer;, at the Armory, being the regular monthly affair given by the band during the past winter. Professor Masten had prepared a finished program of the very latest selections which have been gotten out by the music publishers; and PROF. HARRY MASTEN, Director Bemidji Band. the ability displayed by the band as a whole showed that the popular director had taken much pains and had* worked hard with his “boys” to bring about the desired result— and the audience showed its apprecia- tion in no uncertain manner of approval. The entire program was most ex- cellently rendered. The -musical medley, ‘“Bob White’s,” brought out the full strength of the band and was nicely rendered. “Lohengrin” was a “difficult se- lection that was rendered with much smoothuness and harmony. Thé descriptive overture, “A Midsummer Morning,” was some- thing unique, which brought into play all of the traps and showed that the band was fast mastering the most difficult selections, The cornet and trombone duet, “Devotion,” by Oscar Lindell and George Kinney, was a difficult se- lection very ably played. “The Trombone Blizzard,” with the four slides in prominent parts, was very good. Miss Ruth Wightman and Miss Nell Shannon gave a splendid piano duet. Miss Dora Hanson, Mr. Andrew Rood and Mr. Bert Barker sang a vocal trio, which was very liberally applauded. Mrs. Harry Masten did excellent work as accompanist to the band in playing “Glow Worm,” and “‘Lohen- grin,” WAS WELL PLEASED WITH NEW BEMIDJI LIBRARY Clara F.

AN EMERGENCY RATE FOR SHIPPING SUGAR BEETS Has Been Secured from N. P., M. & I., G. N. and Soo for Shipping Demonstration Beets. ““The Northern. Pacific, Great Northern and Minnesota & Inter- national railways have granted an emergency rate for the shipment of sugar beets from Bemidji and vicinity to the beet sugar factory at Chaska for demonstration purposes,’’ says J. J. Opsahl, secretary of the North-Central Minnesota Shippers’ association, who has been in touch with the Bemidji Commercial club in'the effort to get such a rate, as a forerunner of testing beets that may be grown in this section during the coming summer, in order to interest capital in establishing a beet sugar factory in Bemidji. Secretary Opsahl stated that he had last night received a telegam from H. E. Still, assistant general freight agent of N. P. railway, stating that the N. P., M. & I. and G. N. railways had granted the emergency rate which had been re- quested at a meeting held in St. Paul last week, when representa- tives of the commercial club and the shippers’ association met with the representatives of the railway companies. - This emergency rate will be effective at points on the M. & L. railway as far north as Littlefork, on the Great Northern as far west as Lengby and east as far as Cass Lake and south of these points to the factory at Chaska. The rate will enable the sugar company at Chaska to-guarantee a net price of $4 per ton for all sugar beets raised hereabouts and shipped to the factory, which. will mean that a large acreage will undoubtedly be raised in the territory covered by this emergency rate for demonstration purposes.
