THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE e RN - Historical Soclety. ~ wbnba aei? T VOLUME 7. NUMBER 298. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENINé, APRIL 5, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. THIS IS DIVIDEND WEEK DO NOT LET IT PASS YOU Are You Going to Win the $25 Bank Account and Get a Dividend of 18,000 Votes For Every “Book of Five” You Turn In This Week?— The Road to Wealth Is Steep.—Have You Taken Your First Step? There are four days more left of “Dividend Week.” Have you yet earned the special dividend of 18,000 extra votes by turning in a “club of five new yearly subscriptions? If not, ! you have four days more in which to do so. Get busy. The time is fly- ing and when itis gone it is too late to regret it’sloss. A minute wasted is a minute lost. This you know—so do not hesitate. Already many of the candidates have been busy gathering in the subscriptions, to make up their first book. This is WISE. For with the |§ arrival of 10:30 Saturday night]| “Dividend Week” will end and with | it the last “Book, Club or Combina- tion offer’” on any class of Sub-| scriptions that will be made during the contest. Thisis the best and last offer of this kind. Now when we say that this is the best and last offer of this kind that we will make during the contest we mean exactly what we say. The Easiest Profits. When one figures on their finan- cial rating which when personally figured is one’s income puting it plainly, it is not how much you earn but how much you save. A story is told of a man who went to Mr. Haranan the President of the Southern Pacific Railway and asked for financial aid during the panic of 1896. Mr. Haranan replied to his friend: ‘“‘George, do you really need any financial aid?” The latter replied: That if he hado’t he wouldn’t have come to him. “‘Well George,” Mr. Haranan said, “if you will do as I ask you to for the next three months aad if duriog that time you really get up against it come to me and I’ll help you out. Will you promise to do this for me George?” The latter replied he would. “Well then this is what I want you to do. You have two nice driving teams and you’re in the habit of driving your friends and banqueting them at your home. I want you to sell the teams and figure out what the dinner parties cost you and put the money into a Savings Account in the bank to draw on as you need it.” At the end of three months Mr. Harranan’s friend called on him again and said ke was getting along fine; thanked Mr. Haranan and was That the road to wealth is steep is well-known to all and few there are whose strength holds out long enough to reach its areal heights. Some forty years ago John D. Rockefellow, then a young man, attempted to borrow four thousand dollars to float the Standard Qil Company with, and was refused the loan by several wealthy men and bankers for the lack of security. Finally, however, he was able to negotiate a loan for the amount he wanted. He was able to do this for the fact that the banker of whom he borrowed the sum knew him to be a cautious busi- ness man and a methodical saver. It was the impression Mr. Rocke- fellow made on the banker by his knowledge of the power of money and its capabilities that gave the Oil King the capitol to float the largest, strongest and most powerful corporation in the United States or the world today with the exception of the London > Diamond Trust, which in point of wealth is the only one that sur- passes the Standard Oil Company. When once you have started a Saving account and save methodi- cally you are giving yourself a rating in the world of finance. And gaining the confidence of the powers that reign therein. A savings Account is the first step in every one’s financial career. It is the step at the foot of the stairway of success and success means wealth. Andrew Carnegie while work- ing in the Steel works at Home- stake, Penn., started a Savings account placing therein a fixed sum of money each week for several years. Finally with a flotation of the Western Union Telegraph Companie’s stock Mr. Carnegie withdrew his money and invested it there. This stock raised on the market by leaps and bounds and Mr. Car- negie sold it for thousands of times the amount he paid, wusing the money he received to start the Pittsbury Iron, Steel & Coke Co., which is now onme of the largest subsideries of the U. S. Steel Co. This is just one more instance of what a Savings Account will do, or in other words what money will do at the right time in the right place. e _ ] about to leave his office when the latter called him back, saying: “I'm not through with you yet, George.” You are in the habit of smoking a few cigars during the day and drink- ing moderately with your friends. I want you to cut out that expense and add it to the Savings Account A Wonderful Discovery The people are discovering every day cheaper prices at our store. Are you among the lucky ones?

SCHROEDER Phone 65 and 390 Corner Fourth and Minnesota and come and see me three months again,” “Alright Mr. Haranan following your suggestion I will” At the end of three months Mr, Haranan’s friend returned again and asked him “what his pleasure would be this time?” “Nothing George, only how much have you put into’ that Savings Account during the last six months.” “Well, to tell you the truth to date this being the last of the month I've laid away a little over $6000. Not so bad what do you think?” Well George, I don’t think you need any help from me do you?” “No I don’t though I got it when you gave me your advise.” We may not be able like Mr. Haranan’s friend to curtail our liv- ing expenses soas to beable to save over $6000 in six months because in all probability it is more than the majority of us are earning. But nevertheless we can curtail our expenditures in some quarters so as to be able to lay away in a Savings accounta snug little sum for a time of need. The savings account represents a portion of our easiest profit. The income derived from the curtailing of needless personal luxries that we are really better without. The amount of these at the moment seems small but the pennies when collected together soon make dollars and that’s the profit. Many’s the man and woman whose wealth today is reckoned in six figures who started life by lay- ing aside éach day a trifle. Did you ever stop to think that by put- ting in a savings account ten ceats every day that at the end of the year you will have $36.50 in the bank which will draw you $1.08 in interest the following year, increas- ing the original account to $37.58. Then $36.50 added to that the next year will increase your savings to $74.08 and so on il in a few years without your knowledge almost you find you bhave. several hun- dred dollars to your credit in the bank. There are many ways to save. This is but one of hundreds. The Capitol Prize. The Capital Prize of the Bemidiji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest for the ladies of the Northland is a $1050 Model 10 Buick, one of the best and most popular cars of 1910 Model on the market today. One of the earliest pioneers in automobile building was a_ Buick. It took its place with the Ameri- can public as the Standard of ex- cellence and exemplification of ad- vanced science in automobile con- struction, This magnificent car has been run but once, that being the day it arrived in Bemidji when it was tested for adjustment (Which proved entirely unnecessary). The car is now at the Garage of the Northern Auto Company on display where it will remain until turned over to the lady receiving the highest number of votes in the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest for the ladie’s of the Northland.

The banks of Bemidji are certainly making a very fine showing; and nothing indicates the permanent and substantial prosperty of a city morethan these healthyfinancial con- ditions. The Pioneer is today publishing the statement of the Northern National Bank; and reference to our files and an inspection of the statement to this bank published a year ago, shows that there is an in- crease at the present time of $100,- 000 in the deposits over what was on deposit in the bank in April, 1909. This percentage of increase is probably greater than any other bank in this section of the state. A, P. White, president of the Northern National, and W. L. Brooks, cashier, are! the pioneer bankers of Bemidji, and they have advanced as Bemidji has advanced. This is the reason that the Northern National has been able to expend a large sum of money in placing in Bemidji the most elegant banking rooms, considering size, to be found in any city in Minnesota. This new “home” of the First National is elegantly appointed and has every modern convenience for banking. The Northern National bank and its new “home” is one of the insti- tutions of which Bemidjiis proud. fire department will be held at council chambers Tuesday even- ing, at 7:45 o'clock.

Parker today revoked the license of Martin Rosen. Mr. Parker is firm in his belief and firm in his actions for carrying out the politics for which he stands. He states that he will permit no special privileges with any one, especially in the conduct- ing of the liquor business in this city. . It'is plain to be seen that Mr. Parker will see that the laws govern- ing the sale of intoxicating liquors are strictly enforced. At the meeting of the city council last evening, both Mr. Burke and Mr. Hanson, whose licenses were revoked by the council, appeared and asked that the license money to the amount covering the revocation period be refunded them. Again Mr. Parker demonstrated executive ability and firmness in refusing them this - refund. He states if this be done in one or two cases it will be asked in every instance where licenses have been revoked. He says that this is the risk that every dealer takes when he secures a license. It is evident jthat Mr. Parker is one of the strongest executives the city has ever elected, Special Meeting Fire Department. A special meating of the Bemidji F. 0.

The Crookston Lumber company’s logging train had left some logging cars on the sidetrack at Whitefish Spur, early yesterday, and gone on to Island lake, where a trainload of logs was secured and the train was started back down the line towards Wilton, The train reached Whitefish Spur atabout 9 o'clock last might. In some unaccountable manner, the cars which had been left on the side- tracks had got onto the main line, and the engine of the logging train struck the cars, the impact being 80 severe as to demolish the larger portion of the locomotive. F. O. Sibley was riding on the pilot, in front of the engine; and when the cars were struck he was pinned between the pilot and the car, inflicting such terrible injuries that death must have been instantan- eous. . The fireman was thrown com- pletely out of the cab of the engine; but the engineer stuck braveley to his post and went into the ditch with the - engine, miraculously escaping without injury, ‘When those on the train reached Mr. Sibley’s side, he had ceased to breathe, and the life blood was flowing in a stream from his wounds. Word of the accident was sent to Bemidji as soon as possible, last night, and the news of the tragic death of the popular ex-member of the county board caused a shock. Coroner Ibertson went to White- fish Spur this noon to view the body of Mr. Sibley. At this writing, 2 p. m., there is no information obtainable as to when the funeral will be held, or where the body will be buried. Laborer Killed at Spooner.
