ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MAT- TER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT BE- MIDJI, MINN, UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1879, Insure your crop by testing your - seed.

We can raise bananas as well as anything else, but the banana| season does not arive here until a| little later in the year, The Fergus Falls Free Press says: It is reported that a new yell has| been invented by Crookston high school students. It runs as follows: “Halvor, Halvor, hvad skal du ha? Allotment, allotment, ja, ja, ja!” Can it be that this refers to Con-| gressman Steenerson and his applica- tion for an allotment of 160 acres of A No. 1 timber land on the White, Earth reservation? Will some one please enlighten us? —Charles B. Cheney. The stand taken by the new mayor in his informal address to the council last night and his appointment of iarl Geil as chief of police to carry out his ideas appears to be at least a step in the right direction. Mr. Malzahn stood for the square deal to everyone and that is the attitude a mayor should have. The problems that the new mayor will face are not different from those of his predecessors, but he comes to them from a different angle anad it will be interesting to note just how much father he can progress by taking this changed attitude. Not everything can be done by the mayor, nor by the chief of police, but if they are backed by the people and are given encouragement there appears to be no reason why they should not be successful, The Social- ists have been after these two offices for a long time; they were given them after a campaign on definite issues; it is now up to the party and Messrs. Malzahn and Geil to make good. Moses B. Cotsworth, of Victoria, B. C., has brought forward what he considers a rational calendar. He would divide the year into thirteen months each of twenty-eight days, which would leave one extra day in the year, anq this he plans as a free day for everyone-free from interest charges on money, free from the necessity to work, the wage scale, etc. lach month would begin on.Sunday ang the first, eighth, fifteenth, and twenty-second days of each month would be Sundays. - It is the opinion of many that the month of four weeks will come soon as a commercial necessity. The plan outlined by Mr. Cotsworth has many good features but some that are open to question. Monday has been sug- gested as a better day for the first of the month than Sunday. The one free day would also make trouble as every four years there would be two extra days. One good result of a calendar of four weeks would be that holidays, pay days and other change- able days could be fixed for the.same time each year. Tf the new plan is adopted, the school children need no longer learn: “Thirty days hath Sep-|Balm for a day or so the nasty dis- tember, ete.” Few Bemidjt business men will agree that the present fire insurance rates in this city are what they|blowing. should be.

Nothing has been done that is gener- ally noticeable for the prevention of fires. With this issue of the Pioneer the firm of Hoffman, Harris and Reynolds are launching a campaign of advertising, the ultimate result of which should be lower rates for Be- midji. The advertisment gives some in- teresting statistics stating that dur- ing the year 1911 the annual fire waste in the United States amounted to $2.51 for each man, woman and child, while in Europe it was 33 cents. Suggestions,” that should in- terest all who are anxious that the rates be lowered aré also contained there in. A few we all can do or help do: Use only safety matches. Do not permit the children to use matches. Keep all oily rags and waste in metal cans. stoves and lamps while lighted, or when artificial light is need- ed. | Stoves, furnaces and flues | should be inspected each season. No stove pipe allowed through | root, wall or building. Remove all seraps, litter, ex- celsior and paper, or place in metal cans. i | i i To carry out these suggestions is| only a start in the right direction and we must unite in order to effest | speedy action by the adjusters.

It there is no place in Bemilljl{ where persons of this class can be| | housed and fed at a nominal rate, it! is useless to work up interest in the| summer tourist business, as a large| majority of those who could be ill- duced to spend some time in your| will not come there unless a: sured in advance of satisfactory qua ters. | If suitable lake shore grounds| could be secured for this purpose, can | or will your club interest enough of | the business men of the city to raise| the necessary amount for the purpose of having erected a sufficient num-| ber of cottages, dining halls, etc., to be used for the purpose of which you write? | As the business men of Bemidji {would be the ones to derive any rev- enue accruing from such transient| trade, it would seem &n investment ! of this nature offers sufficient induce- | ments for the formation of a corpo-| ration comprising the business men | of the city to raise enough money to| secure the erection of the number of cottages which would be required. | Please take this matter up with; the club, ascertaining what action | would be taken should a plat of! ground be supplied at a nominal rental for a.period of three to five| years for this purpose, writing us ac»; cordingly. | Very truly, (Signed) Bemidji Townsite and Tmprovement Company. For the Darkness Draws Near. If a man have the truth in him, the thought of his own death as an ever- present possibility will, far from para- Jyzing effort, drive him to a more faithful performance of duty. As the poet says, “then let him turn today.” —Exchange. AWAY WITH CATARRH A FILTHY DISEASE A Safe, Old-fashioned Remedy, Quickly Relieves All Distress: ing Symptoms.
