We just naturally love such people. The state’s strong box has been swelled this year to the extent of nearly $340,000 as the result of royalties received from ore taken from state properties. Today royal- ties reserved totaled $230,697.88, with further royalties of nearly $7,- 000 from contracts not yet on a work- ing basis. It is expected that ship- ments this year from state lands will exceed 1,000,000 tons. Everyone is anxious to travel the road to Better Buying; to make his purchases with safety and confidence; to secure a hundred cents’ worth for- his dollar, and a load of satisfaction free with each purchase, and tke straightest course is right through the advertising pages of the Pioneer. There are merchants advertising in this paper every week who can meet every requirement and who often give you more for your money than they promise. They are the people to tie to, the people who always make good, and their advertisements point the way. Every residence in Bemidji should be lighted by electricity, and every business house, work shop and pro- fessional office should be similarly equipped. And we go a little further. Wires should be strung out to every farm houga_e, and barn, and granary, and_ other outhouses, carrying the light that never fades. The day of the tallow candle has passed, and the lantern and the coal oil lamp should goon be on their way. Electricity today is no more expensive than the lamp or the candle, while its effec- tiveness is increased a thousand fold. It is. modern, a convenience and a necessity.

'RICHEST GIRL IN WORLD MAB.BIED 'I!ODAY Harbor Point, Mich.,, July 31.— Miss Catherine Barker, an orphan, said to be the richest 19-year-old girl in the world, was to be married this Spaulding, jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard H. Spaulding, of Chicago. Five years ago when Miss Barker's father, organizer of the Haskell-Bar- ker freight car factories, and head of a dozen other great industrial con- cerns, died, she came into a fortune of over $30,000,000. Her income is said to be approximately $2,000,000 a- year. Her husband-to-be works for her in the Haskell-Barker freight car offices. His parents are not wealthy as money goes these days, compared to his bride’s fortune. Spaulding is a poor man. The upper crust from all sections of the middle west, the east and the west attended today. Jewelry and sented more than a million. Floral decorations of the Barker cottage here cost several thousands of dol- lars. The bride’s wedding dress and trousseau cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000, the latter figure being, probably nearer the true mark. The wedding gifts were valued at several hundred thousands. The ceremony took place in Miss Barker’s magnificent summer resi- dence, modestly referred to as ‘“Cot- tage No. 12.” The wedding is the big social feature of the season in the Little Traverse Bay region, where scores of millionaires from Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati and St. Louis have their summer homes. The personnel of the briday party will be as follows: Matron of honor, Mrs. Donald J. McFerren, Hoopston, Ill.; maid of honor, Miss Elizabeth Goodrich, Chi- cago; bridesmaids, Miss Jane Vin- cent, Miss Rosamond Goodrich, Chi- cago, and Miss Isabel Stroh and Miss Christine Miller, Detroit; best man, Leicester Spaulding, brother of the bridegroom, Chicago; ushers, Edward Manierre, Chicago, Mason B. Star- ring, jr., New York, Daniel Willard, jr., Baltimare, John A. Scudder, St. Louis, Donald J. McFerren, Hoopston, Mary Barnes, Nelson Ludington Barnes and John Barker Barnes, the :small children of Mrs. Nelson Barnes, of Chicago, who is the bride’s cousin and nearest relatives, also will be in the party. Young as she is, Miss Barker has traveled extensively. She has tured Europe, Asia, India, South America, Central America and nearly every state in the Union. She has given thousands to charity and contributed to innumerable philanthropies. Her guardian, John B. Forgan, president of the First National bank of Chi- +£ago, has directed this work. After a honeymoon down the At- lantic coast and through the Panama, canal the couple will live at East Walton Place, Chicago.
