PAPER REPRESENTED FCR FOREIGR ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES * NEW YORK AND CHICAGC SRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITiES Bemidji’s Slogan. 25,000 Population for Bemidji in 1925. : It is not a very long way from present conditions to a population of 25,000 for the city of Bemidji. With the natural surroundings to warrant it and with alert and en- terprising people determined to ac- complish it and more, the coveted mark is sure to be attained long before 1925. The widest possible circulation should be given the well-written, il- lustrated article contributed by F: A. ‘Wilson of this city which occupied a full page in the Sunday edition of the Minneapolis Tribune. It is a terse and comprehensive summary of conditions as they exist today in Be- midji and Beltrami county. It em- phasizes the importance of the work being done by the Bemidji Merchants’ association in promoting the interests of this city and locality and in en- listing the cordial and enthusiastic support of the farming communities in the campaign of development. It gives the accurate information that will arouse the interest of the out- side world and is at the same time an inspiration to those now devoted to the up-building of this section. To attract people to Bemidji and Beltrami county only the truth may be told, and once here, they will not only become permanent residents, but will induce their friends to join them. The continent nowhere affords a better opportunity for those who seek pleasant healthful homes with superior educational advantages. To clearly show present conditions is our best method of publicity. This the article referred to does most effec- tively and is therefore worth wide distribution.

There are lots of talkers—but not one statesman. “’Tis true, 'tis pity and pity ’tis.’tis true!”—sSt. Cloud Times. —— Speaking of the efficiency and econ- omy bill, the Morris Tribune remarks that “the trouble with the bill is’that its sponsors would plow up the whole garden in order to get rid of a few weeds.” The illustration is faulty. The truth is that the whole fleld is choked by weeds, and that the only way to get rid of them is to summer fallow the tract, and make a new planting at the next election.—Fer- gus Falls Fheelock’s Weekly. —o— ‘Why should not railroads be per- mitted to charge 215 cents per mile for passenger fare if the _present charge is not enough to warrant a reasonable return on the investment? Charges must be regulated that way, no matter how much we dislike to pay an increase. If the railroads can show that the present rate is not sufficient, we must pay more. While there is an unfriendly senti- ment against railroads, -and it cost much effort to secure the present rate, we must be fair. The method of regulating the passenger rate by statute is wrong, and we favor-a change in the method instead of hav- ing the‘legislature increase the fare. —Mora Times. CHILDREN LEARN THROUGH SEEING, ¢ Somebody has said that the eyes of a child are able to give to the young. brain all the knowledge that it needs. Pictures are what the child really needs. Where words will mean noth- ing to them, they will-instant; the meaning of a picture an thought expressed is permanently photographed on their minds. Children soon learn to love the Bible which is now being distributed! by: The Ploneer, ‘for'it’is ' literall filled with pictures from cover to cover. . These. are not. ordinary em- belishments such as are usually]| found in so-called Tlustrated Bibles, but each picture is specially drawn particular verse which the:-picture ac- companies. Think what- this means to the "grown»nps" as-well ‘as: the children! Educators all say: that:pictures are the best possible help to learning, and none of us are too old to.learn. Even though one may not-be-affiliated with a church society, he will'be interested in the educational advantages offered in this great Book of Books. Look for the educational certificate magnificent Bibles for:your yery own. You will surely never:have another opportunity like this. Take advan- tage of this at once. VILLAS AND RESIDENCES TO BE USED FOR HOSPITALS Paris, March 23.—(By mail to New York.)—German and Austrian owned hotels, villas and private resi- dences of all kinds on the famous French riviera. are to be used .as. hospitals for the French soldiers whom the former are wounding if Deputy Georges Boussenot can have his way. He has written to the minister of the interior demanding that all such properties be taken over by the government and equipped at once as military hospitals.. The delightful climate of the riviera, it is pointed out, would be a most im- portant factor in the convalesence of the wounded. As a goodly portion of the hotel industry on the riviera is in the hands of German concerns it is estimated that the seizure of the hotels alone would afford all of the hospital accommodations that,could possibly be needed. France has just begun its first step towards the rebuilding on the most French towns and villages destroyed in the present war. As many of these were centuries old, even their historic interest and importance could not always offset the disadvan- tages of unsanitary location and con- struction resulting from the more or less primative times in which they were built. A commission composed of M. Brissac, director of public hy- giene; Drs. Julen Rensult,-Pottevin and Labbe, technical sanitary ex- perts; M. Martel, the famous geol- ogist, and M. Pelissier, one of the greatest modern authdrities on ag- ricultural improvement has just been appointed to inspect the provinces invaded by the Germans for the pur- pose of preparing sites and ‘plans for the reconstruction of the towns and villages under modern sanitary re- quirements. Similiar commissions of experts for passing upon other essen- tial elements-in' the rebuilding of the towns will be appointed later as the work is carried on step-by:step: ART SMITH AT STATE FAIR. Boy Aviator Who. Electrified: Chicago. With His Antics is' Coming. Art Smith, the boy aviator who re- cently electrified all Chicago by his daring maneuvers in the air, has been engaged for the entire week of the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11, where he will give daily - and nightly - performances. Smith is known' by air men as-the “Boy who is better ‘than ‘Beachey.” plane is shown that he-is able to-loop the loop as ‘many-as thirty ‘times in rapid succession. At Chicago -he climbed so high that he disappeared from view. Falling like a plummet, his ‘machine turned over and over 34 timeés:like' a- whirling: top. 'He then reversed his engine, looping the loop backward ten times in a few moments. He is the only aviator who has ever dared to'loop the loop with- NO DIFFERENCE. The Proof -Is ‘Here the.-Same :As Everywhere. . For those who seek relief from kid- ney backache, weak kidneys, bladder ills, Doan’s Kidney Pills offer hope ‘of relief and the proof is here in Be- midji, the same as everywhere. ' Be- midji people recommend Doan’s, the ‘kidney- remedy used in America for fifty years. Why suffer? Why run Ithe risk of dangerous. kidney ills— 'tatnl Bright's disease. Here's Be- midji proof. Investigate it. M. Flint, 519 Minnesota Ave., jBemidji, says: “My trouble was from' pain-and lameness in my back and if I work hard or did a lot of heavy lifting, it was worse. I was also annoyed by kidney weakness. I have found that I can rely on Doan’s Kid- Store, every time to help me out in time of need. They act as a tonic|. to my kidneys and soon free my. back from pain and lameness.” Price 50¢, at all dealers.
