MINNESOTA | HISTORICAL @ SOCIETY. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE TEN CENTS PER WEEK. VOLUME 7. NUMBER 293. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH ‘30, 1910. YOTES IN ALL DISTRICTS NUMERATED THE SAME Sub-Divisions of Territory Are Made to Facilitate Equitable Distribution of Minor Prizes Among Con- testants. — It Does Not Matter Where Ballots Come From If They Are Regular, Contestants all through the six Sub-districts are awakening to the fact that they are not alone in the contest for the splendid prizes offered by the Bemidji Pioneer in this Contest and that to win will call forth their best efforts. Tact is one of the greatest helps in vote-getting, it is a most essential quality to success in life. When you approach a business person and make a request for his votes and in< fluence you will surely adopt a different manner than you would if you were interviewing a Pugilist ora Jockey, but the vote of one is of the same value as that of the other. Nerve and straightforwardness are what you want in this contest. Make the person you are talking to see that you are in earnest and mean business and the battle is half won, They tell a story about a man who asked the manager of a great Rail- road to give him a pass toa neigh- boring village: “Tell me why I should give youa pass” said the Railroad man—"and I will” “Because I don’t want to walk replied the applicant. It is needless to say that he got his pass. It was his straightforwardness that did the work for him. Itdoes the work for everybody, and it will do it for you. Show your friends that you want votes and you will get them. Lay stress upon the fact that the Model 10 Buick “The Pioneer” is worth $1050 £, 0. b. Detroit, Mich., and that the freight on it here is over $50 so that the car when laid down (so to speak) costs $1100 in Bemidji. Buick automobiles do not grow on bushes. But if you want to win one all you have to do is to get the votes. Do Not Loose Heart. Simply because your name is not at the top of the list in your Dis- trict don’t get discouraged and loose heart. Rather let this Hurry you Oan to further exertions, with the determination which always leads to success. “I've got itin me. I can doit and I WILL DO IT.” Your position shows you that someone is perhaps more in- dustrious than you are; maybe she is more lucky, perhaps more coupons came her way. Do not worry there’s plenty of time yet for you to catch Candidates in the Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Contest have been polling their votes all day long. More votes having been cast today than any other week in the contest all told. The heavy polling of votes makes many changes in the position of Candidates. Today Miss Gladys Kreatz leads the Candidates in all Districts with 8,957 votes, second honors go to Miss Besse Cochran with 8,530 votes. Are you on the roll of Honor, numbered among those Candi- dates having over. 500 votes. Friday night all the Candidates who have not polled over 500 votes will be dropped from the list of a-*'ve Candidatés and will be placed on the waiting list ’til they have secured 500 votes to place them on the list with the active and progressive ones. Get busy and be among the live ones. Show your friends that you are numbered among the workers. Those who will be on the Roll of Honor Friday are the ones who will win the prizes offered by the Pioneer to the ladies of the Northland. After the close of a stremn- ous day there is nothing that is so restful and enjoyable as a bit of good music, such as your fancy at the moment dictates. Some familiar air that brings back sceves past and recollec- tions dear to you; that makes you forget your fatigue, brightens your mind and quickens your spirits. Is there anything so enjoyable as a bit of dreamy Nocturne from Chopin, or ‘a march by Leizt or perhaps the swinging, catchy air from the latest Comic Opera. This kind of pleasure is only possible when oné has an instru- ment that will yield to every passing mood and fancy, that is the reason that the Pioneer chose the Kimball Piano as the Grand Prize for its Mammoth Contest. It is on display at Bisiar & Murphy’s. Call and see it. Play a bit of music on it and be convinced that it is all we claim it to be. e wt'| your mind upon beating her and heading the list yourself and you will find yourself in the coveted position if you possess the required energy and ambition. Remember that on Friday the roll of Honor starts and that the names of only those candidates havinz 500 or more votes to their credit will be published. Gather in the votes and get on the Roll of Honor. Six Months Income in One Month. The Reverend Wright Gibson of up with her if you want to. Set date.

Pittsburg recently said in discussing the Divorce question that no young couple should contemplate marrying on an income of less than $2000 a year. Hesaid: “Poverty leads to Divorce and I do not propose to assist the Divorce Court.” The standard earning capacity or income may or may not be at least- $2000 a year but it is not our intention to start a discussion of the Rev. Mr. Gibson’s remarks. But taking $2000 a year to be a standard income the Pioneer is going to award some lady one-half that amount or six months income for one month’s work. April 27th next some lady of the North- land will be awarded the $1050 Buick “The Piomeer.” Will you be her? Get busy today; right now and start to earn Six Months Income in one month’s time. G0.

Some of the uniforms will prob- ably be used for the first time in a drill which will be given at the annual ball of the company, Friday night of this week. The members of Company K are “slicking up” for the annual inspection which will be held in this city April 27, Captain Jens Bugge, 28th Inf, has been detailed by the department of Dakota to conduct the inspection.

The inspection will be in the new olive drab uniforms, with cap and without gloves. Sight covers for all pieces will be recognized. . Company K is ready for inspec- tion at the present time; and will be even more efficient when Captain Bugge holds the inspection April 27 Captain Otto states that no ans- wer has yet been received from Col. Jonnson, commanding the Third Regiment, to therequest made for permission and assistance in holding a sham battle here on July 4, the opening day of the firemen’s tourna- ment, but that he expects a definite reply from the colonel in a very few days.

FustIs Certain that Splendid Beets Can Be Raised in This Section.—Will So Report to Sugar Company. W. E. Fust, the agricultural ex- pert for the Carver County Sugar company, owners of the beet sugar factory at Chaska, is fully impressed that this immediate section of Min- nesota is well adapted to the raising of beets, and he will so report to his company, at Chaska, at the con- clusion of the meeting to be held at Bagley today which will terminate a series of three meetings, one being held at Bemidji, one at Blackduck yesterday and one at Bagley today. Speaking of his_stay in this com- munity, Mr. Fust says: “I shall report to the Carver County Sugar company, owners of the beet sugar factory at Chaska, that the country in the vicinity of Bemidji is well adapted to the suc- cessful raising of a fine quality of sugar beets; in fact we know that the quality of sugar beets which were raised here and which have been tested are of the very best; but as your class of soil grows @opyright Hart Schaffner & Marx YOU very dressy men, particular about style, about fit, about the shape-keeping quality of your clothes; be particular about quality too; be sure you get all-wool fabrics in the - clothes you buy, whatever you buy and what- ever price you pay. Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes offer you all you want in clothes; better style than the average tailor can possibly -design; better workmanship than he can produce, and every fabric strictly all-wool. There are no other ready-made clothes like these; and that’s why we sell them. The best isn’t too gnod for our customers. We want you to see early the new colors and patterns, and the new snappy styles we've got ready for you insuits and overcoats. Suits $21).00 to $35.00. Overcoats $20.00 to $35.00. This store is. the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes 220y, Clothing House older, it will need fertilizing for beet raising. “This country which is very immediately tributary to Bemidji would never raise enough sugar beets to supply a beet sugar tactory; but as you intend to take in the country for seventy-five miles in all directions from Bemidji, you can undoubtedly get the required acreage to make a factory a paying investment in Bemidji, which should be 5,000 acres, with a production of 50,000 tons of beets, and 60,000 tons would be more like the amount to make the industry absolutely safe as a money-maker. “As to raising beets for shipment to the factory at Chaska, to be manufactured into sugar there, the distance is too great; that proposi- tion would not pay. “Iam greatly pleased with the manner in which the business men and farmers of Bemidji and the other places I have visited have shown interest in the sugar beet proposition during my present trip, Such enthusiastic interest is bound to make any proposition a winner.” When he was told that the farmers hereabouts were raising dairy and beef cattle and other stock, assur. ing the fertility of the soil, Mr. Fust withdrew his suggestion as to the necessity of replenishing the fertility of the soil hereabouts in the not distant future, if sugar beets were raisedn h “I want to compliment the Pio- neer on the excellent account of the sugar begt meeting held here Mon- day,” said Mr. Fust. “I have many talks throughout Minnesota, relative to sugar beet culture, and it has always been necessary for me to personally write, or at least super- vise the writing of, the accounts of meetings and facts as to beet rais- ing, in order to avoid wrongful statements. The Pioneer not only quoted me correctly, but the state- ments made relative to the raising and manufacture of the beets were absolutely correct in every particular, You have a fine daily paper,” FINE SUGAR BEET MEET IS HELD AT BLAGKDUGK W. E. Fust and Al H. Jester Spoke on Beet Culture and Pointers on Shipping. A meeting was held at Blackduck yesterday for the purpose of dis- cussing sugar beet culture and ascer- taining how. many people of that vicinity were willing to raise sugar beets during the present season for shipment to'the beet sugar factory at Chaska for demonstration pur- poses. W. E. Fust, agricultural expert for the Carver County Sugar com- pany, attended the meeting and gave out information relative to sugar beet culture, being accom- panied by Al. H. Jester, secretary of the Bemidji Conmercial club. Mr. Jester preceded Mr. Fust and told of the securing of the emerg- ency rate which would enable sugar beet raisers this season to ship to the factory at Chaska for demon- stration purposes and gave consider- able information relative to raising the beets in this section. L. G. Townsend, president of the Blackduck Commercial club, presided at the meeting, at the conclusion of which Charles Hayden, a mem- ber of the North-Central Minne- sota Shippers’ association, took the names of quite a number of those present who agreed to raise beets this summer for shipment to Chaska this fall.
