The dollar that is spent at home is used in building up Bemidji and Min- nesota. The dollar that is sent away is lost to us. It goes to help build up some other fellow's city and state. ‘We bring money to our city and state by selling something to the out- sider. We accumulate by buying less from the outsider that he spends with us. Every dollar that we spend with the outsider that could have been spent at home takes just so much away from us. We are poorer by as much as the outsider has gained. He has taken from us to build up his city and state. We must have this money kept at home. We need its advantages. It will help make us independent. No single class of citizens is alone to blame for money being sent away from home. The retailer blames the consumer and manufacturer. The wholesaler blames the manufacturer and the retailer. Its a serious ques- tion. We are all to blame. Let’s quit it. International Falls, June 20. International Falls, June 20 and 21. These are the place and dates. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association is the occasion. Put the three together and begin to pull to make this the biggest and most valuable meeting yet held by this as- sociation. Northern how much it is gaining because of this organization and these meetings. These have been the start of the present settlement in this section of the state. It was through them that attention was turned in this direc- tion. Minnesota now knows The meetings have been followed by a mass of free advertising; the or- ganization, as the first of its kind, be- came of interest in many states. Oth- er sections of Minnesoia have adopt- ed its plan as the best means for “boosting.” It has demonstrated that Northern Minnesota is interested in its own affairs; believes in itself; has the en- thusiasm of conviction, and that it is awake and hustling. That is the sort of country to which wide awake || men wish to come. The attention of the railroads has been gained. These most important agencies of settlement are now giv- ing Northern Minnesota the help it deserves. They are giving this near- by territory a square dcal, and as a result of their efforts, combined with those of this association, the influx of settlers is the greatest ever known here . This movement must be kept up; this indeed is the critical time, and the International Falls meeting should be the biggest one of them all. It will be a good thing for the south- ern end of the district to see the northern end; to get o the boundary line. The intervening territory, or the last 150 miles of it, will be new to most of the delegates. It will be full of interest and equally full of enjoy- ment. St. Louis county will be there with its usual quota or more of boost- ers. Every other county should be as largely represented. ] Half Reapportionment. On the theory that half a loaf is better than no loaf at all, an amend- ment to the reapportionment bill has been introduced into the lower body of the legislature. The amendment does not legislate any one out of of- fice, but adds three senators and three senators and three representa- tives to Northern Minnesota. The bill provides for the following legislative districts and is designed to correct the gravest errors: Fifty-second—Cass and counties. One senator and one rep- resentative. Sixty-first—Norman and Mahno- men. One senator and one represen- tative. Sixty-fourth — Koochiching and Beltrami. One senator and two rep- resentatives. Sixty-fiftth—Pennington, Red Lake and Clearwater. One senator and two representatives. Sixty-sixth—Aitkin and Carlton. One senator and one representative. Provision is made that the amend- ment becomes effective upon pass- age. While this bill is purely a compromise measure and does not nearly remove the inadequacies in representation between Northern and Southern Minnesota, it gives Koochiching and Beltrami couaties the same representation as the Cong- don bill. It is to be hoped that the special session will not adjourn without hav- ing taken some action which will bring the representation of the two sections of the state to a more nearly equal basis.

A WOMAN'S BACK The Advice of This Bemidji Woman is of Certain Value, Many a woman’s back has many aches and pains. Oft times ’tis the kidneys’ fault. That’s why Doan’s Kidney Pills are so effective. Many Bemidji women know this. Read what one has to say about it. Mrs. A. E. Hannah, 704 Mississip- pi avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: “Some time ago I began to use Doan’s Kidney Pills and the results were sat- isfactory. At that time I was suffer- ing severely from backache and my kidneys were not doing their work as they should. A friend advised me to take Doan’s Kidney Pills and I got some, They restored me to excellent health.” (Statement given October 7, 1910). A LATER ENDORSEMENT. On March 19, 1912, Mrs. Hannah was interviewed and she said: “The statement I have previously given about Doan’s Kidney Pills holds good. ‘When I have used them I have always received good results.” For sale by all dealers.
