There is plenty of strong basball talent in Be- midji to give this city a fast team, and with the support of fans the Athletic club would be able to place a nine in the field which would be a credit to the onganization, as well as to Bemidji. Lets all get together and assist in the formation of a strong baseball team for 1914, some- thing Bemidji has not had for many years. Victor L. Powers, mayor of Hib- bing, is going to be returned to the head of the range village council without opposition, and deserves to be. Strong opposition was made to Mr. Powers election a year ago, but his majority was large. Since as- suming office he is given credit for many of the accomplishments of the councyl and his methods have won the confidence of. the Hibbing eciti. zens. So successful-has been his ad- mindstration that he is often spoken of as a candidate for congress and his followers have urged his candi- dacy for the governorship. He is yet a young man, has a splendid law practice, and if he has any political ambitions, he has never'let them be known. Hibbing has a right to feel pproud of its mayor. ot s e It is generally understood that the northern end of Beltrami county will be given the privilege of naming one of the two representatives who will go to the next session of the legislature from this district, and while there are several men capable of filling the position in admirable dtyle, C. R. Middleton, Baudette’s brilliant attorney should not be over. looked. Mr. Middleton is one of Bal- trami county’s pioneers, and has seen Baudette and the north end grow and develop into the magnificent country it now is, having moved there in 1906. He knows the wants and the needs of this community as only few others know it, and §s capable of making an ideal legislator. Should the Spooner and Baudette country de- cide to send Mr, Middleton to the house he will be given strong sup- port over the entire district. = KR KKK KKK E KK KKK F * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS ¥ I EE RS EREE R EEEE S “The most pitable fool outside the state institution for the feeble mind- ed, is the man—or woman— who is living Dbeyond their means—spend- ing money for extravagant clothes and social entertainment when every one knows they are not paying their meat and grocery bills.

All required is that she choose her materials and models wisely. No. 7993 is a dress that would be appropriate for afternoon or informal evening affairs, if developed in a rather conservative material and color. This does not mean that the frock must be somber; it may be brightened in num- berless ways. As sashes and girdles are so much worn just now, several of these may be made of the new fig- ured silks for the same gown or dif- ferent corsage bouquets may be worn with the dress at various times. There never was a season when the woman with a limited dress allowance had a better chance. Charmeuse, silk poplin, or crepe, any of them would be suitable to this design; collar and cuffs may be of fig- ured material and the chemisette of shadow lace. net or chiffon. In size 36, this model requires 4% yards of 36 inch material: The pattern is cut in 6 sizes: 84 to 44" This Is.a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to give right size, fneasuring over the fullest part of the bust for dimensions. It may be obtained by filling out the | coupon and enclosing 15 cents in stamps or coin, to the Pattern Department of this paper. —— .COUPON Name ....... Street and No. City and State .

On its face it has to do with of streets' and parks and rapid transit iines. . But its ‘Teal sig- nificance'is far-deeper. = A: prop- er eity plan has a powerful- in- fluence: for good upon the men-: tal and moral development of the people: It is the firm base for the “building of a healthy and happy community.—George McAneny. N ¢ campaign slogan for 19147 It is to be remembered that-the fun- damental task of tlie rural advance is local rural community ' building—the gradual erection of stronger. commu- nity units, founded on Dbetter farm practice, securing a fair profit through better farm business and growing mightily ambitious for a better farm life. How can this fundamental rural task best be forwarded’in 19147 - First.—Organize - local community campaigns in_as many neighborhoods as possible. - Seek the formation of a community council or federation made up of representatives of all the organi- zations in the neighborhood that have any interest in_ the common good— church, grange.. women's club, farm- ers' club, civic improvement soclety, ete. Second.—Seek to develop the colec- tive or co-operative method of. doing the business of the farm. Farmers can save money. by co-operative buy- Ing’ of supplies needed on the farra. It is possible that they can make a larger profit by selling their products in the same co-operative manner. The co-operative plan is- spl‘eudlug It should not beé entered upon hastily, but it promises to render more help to the farmer than does perhaps any other. one thing. Third.—Push the idea of an.agricul- tural high school or of an agricultural department in the public high school. Farming defnands educated men and women: - ‘The agricultural colleges, nefther -in ‘the classroom nor in their extension service. can- meét the full need. Every boy or girl desiring_the equivalent of a good® high school edu- cation in and for agriculture should have the opportunity of acquiring that training. Fourth,—Join in the demand for the passage by congress of the Lever bill appropriating federal money to the several agricultural colleges ~for ex- tension work in agriculture and home economies. This meansthe democra- tizing of agricultural education the na- tion over. It ‘means that the best knowledge ‘gained in- agricultural re- search will be placed at the disposal of the humblest Yarmer; that a great edu- cational campaign for better farming in all its aspects will be carried into every farming community, This bill, if enacted into law, prom- ises not only a distinct advance in the agricultural educational field, but in- deed a national intellectual -uplift of great proportions and significance. Fifth.—Strive for at least prelimi- nary steps to bring together on a na- tional basis the various agencies that are seeking rural welfare. .This ig merely the nationalizing of the plan for local rural community building. The many activities and institutions engaged in promoting should be correlated.. The country life movement should be integrated. We should look upon the rural problem as a unity. We should try to solve it on large lines and with solidified en- deavor. : Sixth.—Above all, perhaps, try to stir religious forces to new effort in the rural field. The country church faces a crisis. Rural advance. is leaving the church behind. But the. rural move- ment must not become materialistic. 600D SUGBESTION TO BEMIDJI PEOPLE We want to tell those in _Be- midji suffering from stomach - or bowel trouble that we are agents for mixture’ of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler- 1-ka, the remedy which became fa- mous by curing appendicitis.

In his -annual report Malcolm Metzger, the president. of this body of business men, recounts some of these achievements, One of the first problems was to:get | the capltalists interested in a building boom, and the commission started by organizing the United Realty company. In the last seven years hundreds of honies for workmen have been_built, and this boom may be said to be still in its infancy, for within the next year or two a territory to the east of the town will be opened on which: 20,000 more homes can and will be bullt; Perhaps 'the/ biggest project of. the Industrial commission, which had ‘the aid of the South Bethlehem Commer- cial league in the matter, was the pro- curing of assurance that two mnew bridges across the Lehigh river would While these have not yet been constructed, they will be within a year or two. These bridges are the Minsi Trail bridge. which will span the river to the east of the town and will cost more than $250,000, and the new $525,000 structure across the Le- high at the foot of Main street. Con- tracts: will be lét soon. The industrial commission has before it the task of urging the erection of a municipal conduit system, the procur- ing of a site for an armory. which the state will build: the consolidation of (North Bethlehém and its 4.000 inhab- itants, the consolidation of the Bethle- hems-and the two contiguous boroughs.
