R. CARSON. B. X 'DIIV EAROLD J. nm. Id.lt From a Farmer’s Viewpoint. The following letter was received by the editor of the Pioneer a few days ago. It presents from the farm- ers’ side the matter of a municipal rest room which was agitated last spring. That the need for such a room is more acute now than in the warm months is self-apparent. There are still many weeks of cold weather before spring and a rest room pro- vided mow will be greatly appre- ciated: = “Dear Sir: “I would like to say a few words through your paper in regard to the “old chestnut,” the rest room. Per- haps if we would change the name to something more aristocratic it would be better, but I will leave the change to some one else. “It seems to me, and I am sure that I am speaking the sentiments of every farmer in the county, that the city of Bemidji owes the farmers’ wives some place they might go be- fore and after shopping and sit down for a few minutes rest, or perhaps to straighten out their hair or adjust a hat, if they are lucky enough to have one. But there isn’t one place—not a toilet room; a lavatory—or other accomodations. “The merchant does the best he can in his store but when your trad- ing is done you feel that you are in the way to stand around and lean against the counters. The merchant rightly feels the same. The man can come and go to the saloon, sit down and refresh himself, but what would the police be doing if the wife and daughter did the same. “I have talked with a great many farmers and nearly all of the mer- coants and, they are nearly of the same opinion in favor of some place. The merchants are nearly all willing to, offer, to pay the expemse but it|} looks to me like an insult to ask the merchant to do it. Let everyone help, saloons and all, and the expense pense would only amount to a few pennjes each, “You cannot go into a town any- where in Central or Southern Minné- sota but what you will find a place of this kind and all supported by the city. All claim that it is a good in- vestment. In some places a woman is paid to furnish everything and look after the room. Where they have a range, one can get coffee and tea before they start the fifteen or twenty miles drive home, in the cold. Many do not feel able to go to a res- taurant. As a general thing, the res- taurant man will not take a few spuds or bagas in payment for a meal and that is the only legal tender the farmer around Bemidji has this year. The merchant will take them for a little coffee, crackers and cheese. “Now if this thing can work out in Southern and Central Minnesota, it certainly can in this glorious North- ern Minnesota and esperiziiy Be- midji. . “You will here the policeman say, || ‘It that hair back don’t tie his team, I'll run them in.’ That’s all right. Run us rubes in but do something for our wives and daughters. “Now, Mr. Mayor and city dads, try it during this unlucky 1913 for one year and if at the end of the year you are not satisfied, I will try to get the farmers to pay it back to you provid- Ing you use our wares. “Wishing you a prosperous year and that you will do what is right. “Respectfully yours, “W. A. CASSLER, “A would-be farmer.” o The Army Canteen. Several years ago the army canteen was abolished by an act of congress ‘which was the result of agitation on the part of people interested in the has increased and recommend that the canteen be again introduced into the army since by giving control of liquor drinking to the officers, much of the vice can be eradicated. present dives lie outside the limits of the post commanders’ authority. = In @ll probability congress will be called upon to discuss the matter, Such a discussion should be wel- comed by those who advocated the abolishment of the canteen as only the true facts in the case. of Fort Snelling Stimson.

At that time it was said that because the soldiers constantly had liquor where it was easily obtainable a thirst was devel- oped and that his moral nature be- came depraved. By abolishing the canteen the reformers claimed that drinkers would gradually be elimin- ated from the service. The reports to congress of General ‘Wood, chief of staff, and Secretary Stimson throw new light on the situ- ation. They agree that the abolition ©of the army canteen has resulted in the springing up of numberless dives and “hell holes” in the vieinity of posts and camps where the men are entertained in their leisure hours with poor whiskey and lewd women.
