Sell them. The robin has reached Bemidji. It could just as well have stayed here all winter, and probably would have done so had it known that the winter climate in Bemidji is ideal for birds as well as humans. Wonder if Koll has the state “Auditorship Bee.” Its a cinch that Northern Minnesota would get all it is looking for if Koll were at the helm. Make a noise when the *‘Bee” stings, brother Koll and listen to the buzz. Through the patriotic energy of Representative J. J. Opsahl of Bemidji and the various shipping associations along this line of road an “emergency rate” has been given by the M. & I., the N. P., and G. N. Railways for the shipment of sugar beets so that the beet sugar manu- facturers have offered $4.00 per ton for the raw product delivered f. o. b. at any station as far north as Littlefork.

One of the most valuable conven- tions held in northern Minnesota was the Development congress at Bemidji last month, The good effects of it are already becoming evident in a better recognition by southern Minnesota of the needs and rights of northern Minnesota. The work of the congress is also being evidencee in the renewed interest real estate men and farmers everywhere throughout northern Minnesota are taking in boosting the territory and organizing to secure new settlers. That Bemidji convention has started a lot of things to moving and has shaken up the dry bones and dusted down the cob webs in great shape.—Long Prairie Leader. I BY THE WAY I The user of large space works in harmony with great natural laws, There never was a man who did not secretly admire the sort of character he used to be, before he reformed. Those who stop to count the cost seldom do anything of parti- cular moment. A man never feels quite so kindly towards a friend from whom h has received a favor. .

How fo Win $25 Savings Account ~In the First National Bank at Bemidji, Minn, -~ To the contestant turning in the largest number of yearly subscriptions (regard- less of whether they are in a club or not) this week will be given a $25 savings account in the First National Bank. Starting a Savings Account is starting life right. Have you started cne yet? If not, this is your opportunity. Not only to start saving but to start it in the right place, the First National Bank; one of the oldest banking houses in the Northland; one of the strongest, safest and most ably managed institutions, headed by conserva- tive, business men of tested quality. It is needless to say the Pioneer chose the right institution when it chose the First National Bank to start this Savings Account in, when we say that its deposits have just passed the $500,000.00 mark, because the opinion of many is better than that of a few. The growth of this institution has been wonderful in the extreme. Note the picture to the left, where the First National Bank was given birth in the world of finance, and then the one to the right, it’s home today.
