POOOOOOOOOOOOOO® You wouldn’t suspect it, but this is the first day of autumn. Speaking about heavyweights, have you seen that Beltrami county caulifiower? At Mahnomen a farmer made $150 an acre off watermelons. This sounds like a reflection on the acti- vity of boys in the vicinity of Mahno- men. At St. Paul yesterday an auction sale of elephants, tigers and other wild animals was held. much was bid for a “progressive” Republican. Wonder how And unkind suspect he is a friend of Jim Tawney —says it is not Congressman Syd Anderson, but that the first letter should be “K.” some person—we Mere man isn't so much interest- ed in the announcement that we are to have no two pieces gowns as he would be if told there were to be “two bit” dresses. THAT MARKET DAY. i There is no end to the good \vhich{ may Dbe derived from the proposed | market day to be held here on Octo- ber 12, next. slashes on merchan- dise, public wedding, and auction of | commodities brought in by the farm—' ers are inducements which threaten to assemble one of the biggest cmwds! The prizes, the city has ever seen. To the farmers it will mean an op- portunity to sell their goods at the highest possible prices, while at the same time they will be able to im- prove the chance to purchase mer-! chandise at low prices. To the business men of Bemidji it offers an opportunity to become ac- quainted with the trade in this ter- ritory, and if a favorable impression is made, it will mean that new busi- ness will be secured. It looks good from both the standpoint of the visitor and the home merchant. If a spontaneous response is forth- coming from all merchants, making the most out of the day, it probably will be a long time before “market day” will be forgotten, if indeed, it does cause such occasions to become a permanent fixture. |the New England states. There is no time to be lost, so that all merchants who are willing to of- fer assistance by making special re- ductlons. or by putting up prizes should perfect their plans without delay so that the complete program can be arranged in time to make the necessary publicity for complete suc- cess possible. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. 1f the railroads of Minnesota are| happy in the belief that they can boost the price of hauling freight| and people, after the latter have been convinced that a two-cent passenger fare and reduced commodity trans- portation have been demonstrated sufficient to continue fat dividends, they are having a dream that is to be rudely awakened. An increase in | the gross earning tax, may or may | not be a part of the solution, but there will be a solution. The vot-| ers of Minnesota are not as bone- | headed as the politicians who look | after the interests of the railrnads‘j imagine. | JEWS! | At sun-down tonight the. Jewish new year begins and more than 1,- 000,000 people in Greater New York will celebrate the event. It is a fact that there are more Jews in New York city than in all the rest of the country taken together. The total| number of Jews in the United States is nearly 2,000,000. The overwhelm- ing majority of the Jews live in the large .cities. ~More than 1,000,000 live in Greater New York; in Chica- go 180,000; in Philadelphia 100,000; in Boston 80,000; in St. Louis 50,- 000; in Pittsburgh 45,000; in Bal- timore 35,000; in San Francisco 33,- 000; in Cincinnati 30,000; in Min- neapolis and St. Paul 28,000. The larger part of these Jews have come to America within the past 25 years, and the rate of increase from this source is rapidly advancing. The po- sitions of influence occupied by many of these Jews give them a tremend- ous power, far beyond what might! be indicated by their numbers. They are an important factor in the world | of finance and control enormous wealth. It is stated that there are in New York City alone about 3,000 Jewish lawyers and n;ore than 1,000 Jewish physicians. large universities and colleges there are from one to six professors who The the- atrical enterprises are almost entire- ly in the hands of Jews and the num- ber of Jews in the theatrical profes- sion is steadily increasing. It is also a fact that many of the leading daily papers in the country are owned and controlled by Jews. In each of the belong to the Hebrew race. @@@@@@é@@@@@@@@l 4 Notes From the Labor World. ©| RO O R R R IR O OO O O R O] Forty-four States have adopted an age limit for the employment of chil- dren. The average wage of school teach- ers in Kansas has more than dou- bled in the past ten years. During the last two years the In- ternational Brotherhood of Station- ary Firemen has gained 9,900 mem- bers. Organized labor in Atlanta, Ga., has purchased a site and will soon begin the erection of a $30,000 13-{ bor temple. The highest oriental wages are | paid in the Philippines, where thel ordinary laborer gets from twenty to fifty cents a day. Fewer women over sixteen years of age are employed in the southern cotton mills than in the middle of During the last year the Boot and Shoe Workers’ International Union has paid in sick, disability and death benefits a total of $89,297.23. In the various metal industries of Belgium nearly half the men work from nine to ten hours a day, and the majority of the rest from ten to eleven. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ken-~ tucky, Louisiana, South Carolina and Tennessee all have laws requiring all employers to provide seats for their female employes. In the United States the average productivity of the workingman is $2,400 a year, while in England the average productivity of the workman is only $556 a year. The American Brotherhood, an in- dependent organization of black- smiths in New York, has, by unani- mous vote, decided to affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers. The average rate of wages paid to skilled women' sewing machine ‘op- erators in the United States varies from $1.50 to $2 a day. The same class of labor in France, Germany and Switzerland receives from 30 to 50 cents a day. At a recent meeting of the United Hebrew Trades, in Manhattan, N. Y., it was decided to aid the tailors in the organizing campaign they are now carrying on to+get all the trade in the country into the union, as a preliminary preparation for a gen- eral strike in 1912. The action of the Cigarmakers’ In- ternational Union in adopting a la- bel to distinguish its products from those of ill-paid conviet, Asiatic or child labor, was gradually followed by other labor organizations, until uow there are seventy-nine union la- bels in use in the United States. On the average the workman who receives $2.43 in the building trades in the United States receives $1 abroad; the man who receives $2.13 in the engineering trade in the Unit- ed States receives $1 abroad; the ‘man who receives $2.45 as a printer or compositor in the United States, recctves but $1 abroad for the same kind of work. However, it must be taken in consideration that the cost of living in the United States is far greater than in any other country.. Easy Enough. P Just before the taprure of Savannak General Logan. with two or three of Lis staff, entered the depot at Chicage to take the cars east.on his way .10 re. join his command. The generil. being a short distance in ag-ance of the oth ers, stepped on the steps of a Tar, bu was stopped by an Irishman with: “Ye can't go in there " “Why not?" asked the general. “Because them's a leddies’ caer. and no gentleman ‘Il be goin® {n there with out a leddy. There’s wan sate {n thas caer over there if yees want it." “Yes." replied the general, “1 see there s one seat, but what shall 1 do with my staff?" “Oh, yer staff!" was the reply. *“Go take the sate and stick yer staff out o? the windy.” Wasn't a Bit Impreesed. The chief of the clan of Mclntosh once had a dispute with a London cab- by over the fare. “Do you know who I am?" the high- lander asked angrily. *“I am the Mc- Intosh.” “I don't care if you are an umbrella.” retorted the cabby, “I'll have my rights!” In For It! First Small Boy—We'd better be good. Second Small Boy—Why? First Small Boy—! heard doctor tell maother to take plenty of exercise.—YWoman’s Home Compauion A King Who Could Change the Wine. King Erricus of Sweden publicly confessed that he was a sorcerer apd magician. He was the owner of 51 enchanted cap. which he pretended en- abled him to control the spirits and change the direction of the winds at pleasure. So firmly did his subjects believe in the supernatural powers of their ruler that when a storm arose they would exclaim. “Ah. the king ‘< i again wearing his magic cap!’—Lon don Mall. Not Carrying It. An Irishman met with an accident. but was onmly away from work two days. “Why dida’t you stay home for 4 week?' a friend asked him. “Yor were carrying an insurance policy weren't you?’ “I was not.” sald the Irishman. *The day of the accident I left it home i» the burecu drawer.” Synonym. “Say.” asked Coakley, 100king up from the letter he was writing, “de | you know any expression that means the same as ‘talking shop? ™ “Well.” replied Joakley. “there 1s “‘tonsorial emporium’ and likewise ‘halr cutting parlor. ”—Catholie Smndlrd‘ and Times.

Hain't you heard th't tn th’ soshul swim th® wimmen try te outstrip each other?—Milwaukee Newa It Was Tough. A man was at breakfast at a hotel and encountered a piece of tough beef- steak. Having failed to make an im- pression on it, he quietly laid down his knife and fork and remarked to the company, “Ladies and gentlemen, it's my opinion that this steak is an infringement on the Goodyear patent.” He Was on Time. Sir Charles Dilke once spoke with admiration of an American he had met in San Francisco. The American told him he would be coming to Eng- land in a year. Dilke invited him to lunch and gave him a day fourteen months later, assuring him he would give him a distinctively English lunch, begging him at the same time to Lo punctual. “If you will give me an hour I'll be on hand.,” replied the American. Dilke gave 1 o'clock. As the clock struck 1 on the day in ques tion fourteen months afterward: Dilke walked . downstairs. to ‘the dining room, which was.on the ground foor of his house, just as. the Americaw walked in. THE BEMIDJI DALLY PIONEER KILL OFF THE RATS. It's a Mighty Big Job, but Black Death Looks on and Waits. “The ppeumonic plague is due to the marmot. The marmot lives in the Lake Baikal region. Kill it off—and it can easily be killed off—and the pneu- monic plague will disappear forever.” The speaker, a bacteriologist of the University of Pennsylvania. resumed: “The bubonic plague is due to the rat. Kill the rat off and the bubonic plague will disappear. But to kill off | the rat!” He made a gesture of despair. “A litter of rats,” he said, “numbers thirteen. Of these six will be does. A doe rat will have her first litter at the age of three months and thereafter an- other litter every six weeks all through the year, winter and summer alike. Thus if every member of these litters survive the progeny of one pair of rats in a year would number 25.000. “They don't number that, of course. but they number something like it. and if our millionaire philanthropists don't belp us to esterminate our para- sites—our rats and mice, our cats and | degs—if they don't help us to extermi- nate all animals save those that are of | direct value to us—why. some day an- other black death will nearly. will per- : haps completely, exterminate civiliza- | tion.”~-Cincinnati Enquirer. Applied Science. When Jemes Russell Lowell was minister to England he was guest at a banquet at which one of the speak- ers was Sir Frederick Bramwell. Sir Frederick was to respond to the ‘toast “Applied Science.” It was long after midnight wher the toast was .pro- ' posed. #nd severai-speakers were still: to be called Rising in his place, the scientist said: “At this bour of the night, or, rech- ! er, of the morning, my only interest in | applied science is to apply the tip of the match to the side of the box upon which alone it ignites and to apply the flame so obtafned to the wick of 2 | bedroom candle.” A moment later Lowell tossed a pa- per across the table to him bearing | these two lines: Oh, briet Sir Frederick, would that all could cateh | Your happy talent and supply your matca! i ettt Seeing the World.
