The Virginia Bonds. An investigation into the buying and proposed sale of the Virginia bonds held by the state by the house committee of public accounts is re- vealing the fact that the state paid about $60,000 more for the bonds than the actual market value at-the time they were bought. At the pres- ent time, the market is low and if sold the bonds would bring about $95,000 less than the amount paid for them. It laoks as though the state lost $60,- 000 at the start and stands to lose $95,000 if the bonds are sold now. The figures on which the above statements are based are as follows: Virginia Bonds in State Treasury Purchase total paid by state $1,866,590.05 Apparent market value “asked” Apparent market value “pid” ... .. 1,797,868, Add % of 1 per cent for commissions and ex- penses to “asked” quotations ‘would make. market cost. . Apparent net difference between cost to state and outside market .26 75 1,806,711. 59,878. Cost Versus Present Value. Total par value. of bonds’ $2,145,000. Total cost to- state ‘when purchased ... Present market quota- tion “bid” Present market value “asked” .. . 1,772,350. Present “asked price lower than purchase cost by 1,866,540. 1,764,262 94,240.05 The bonds were purchased by the state board of investment during the period from 1896 to 1901, For years there ahs been an agitation to have these bonds sold and the money used in internal improvements, The efforts have been consistently block- ed and the house committee is to show. that the bonds are not and never Wwere a good investment for the state. Northern Minnesota is particular- k ly interested in these bonds and be- lieves that the fullest possible inves- tigation. should be made. ney is eneded here. If the bonds are bringing the state less than the mor ney would bring if loaned to, counties for internal improvements, the bonds should be sold and the money reloaned. For Small Dealers. The smaller dealers in any line of | husiness sometimes -say they wcan’t afford to advertise. Did they but| realize it, though, they are just the ones. who have peculiar reasons in| their.business why they can and . must| advertise. The man with a small capital can< not afford the most expensive loca- tion. He cannot pay a high price. for the good will of some long established and. profitable: business. He must 'start in some less favor~ able location, often on some side or back street, or in some crowded and. cramped quarters. : This ‘situation, however;, - has dis- tinct advantages of its' own, provided he knows-how to utilize them. His rentals in the side street or less fa- vorable location are, of course, much below . those paid by the long estab- lMshed place of business. They consti- tute a smaller charge on his expense aceount. "If he can but get people to coming to his. place of business, he is on.better than even terms wlth the old store. It has been demonstrated over and over again that people will walk all over-a town to hunt up a store that seems to give unusual values. - They| rather enjoy poking around out of the ‘beaten track, led by-the fun of bar: gain_hunting. fter they. get: their griends, as a sample of their superior: °| geater.

You must describe some of the things you_are selling and tell the a chance to judge for himself. The above editorial from the Crook- ston Times hits the nail on the head. ‘What, is true for Crookston busimess| : Adver- tising .pays big retnrns to the ‘small The Strike in Belgium. Three hundred. and fifty thousand Belgian workers went ‘on-a strike Monday-and as a result many lines of industry are tied up. It is estimated that about $1,000,000 a day is being lost by the strike,” The reason for the strike will be of interest to every per- soIf interested in popular’ government. There are three classes of voters in Belgiuni. Every male of legal age is entitled to at least one vote.” Every male who is thirty-five, has a legiti- mate family of children and pays not less than $1.20 house tax and every man who owns $400 worth of real estate is entitled to.two votes. All professional men——which includes the clergy—and men who hold diplo- mas from institutions of learning are entitled to three votes. The strikers want the law changed 0 that every man will have an equal voice in the government.. They are striking for universal suffrage on the principle of one vote to a man. They have declared they will-not go to work until the government grants their demands.- The men of the Unit- ed States who have had the ballot for generations will sympathize with the striking Belgians; the women who are even now fighting for the ballot will urge them to insist that their demands be granted. 3 _r Parcel Post Stamps. Some time ago, the government saw fit to withdraw the special deliv- ery stamp and order that regular pos- tage stamps can be affixed to letters intended for special delivery. ~ The government should go a step farther and do away with the parcel post stamps. They were originated so that the department could better keep track of the parcel post business but the inconvenience of two sets of stamps, so similar, more than -bal AR ‘We are ilnlflmrl of PIN TICKETS 4 and GUMMED LABELS o ‘need ‘to'send ‘outside of Bemidji: foth.hem Ploneer Supply.
