If you don’t use PURITY GASOLINE, what excuse have you to offer? We claim it drives your car further, why don’t you make us prove-it? Why, Mr, Car Owner, we wouldn’t dare make claims we couldn’t prove. for your own satisfaction drive up to our filling station near the Great Northern depot the next time you want gasoline and try PURITY.

Grest Moriheri’s Transcontinental Trains CHARLIE SPENDS MONEY TO GET WHAT HE WANTS Chicago, Aug. 3.—Charley Com- iskey’s idea for acquiring a real ball team is diametrically opposite to the idea concealed in the dome of Cor- nelius MecGillicuddy. Mack gets the raw material and develops it. Comiskey buys it fin- ished and delivered. The White Sox owner has spent close to $200,000 for the finished product in the past few years. “His most recent purchase of Eddie Murray for a sum some- where near $10,000 calls to mind some of the real money he has handed over to the finishers for ball players. For Eddie Collins $50,000; for Ray Schalk $12,500; for the late lamented Larry Chapell $18,500; for Russell Blackburne -$11,000; for Ping Bodie $8,000; for Bobbie Roth $8,000 and for Rollie Zeider, bunion and all, $8,000. This is an incomplete list. If the THE BEMIDTI BAILY PIONEER whole truth were known the amount probably would total more = than $200,000. And if it were not for some up-to-the-present-minute un- explained vagary on the part of BEMIDJI'S FIRST CHAUTAUQUA IS ON (Continued from Page 1.) enough to go twenty times around the world, or in other words, to cover nearly every mile of the world’s rail- ways. Mr. Rayne does not depend upon the commercial sources for his pic- tures. He goes after them himself and gets the original and the genu- ine. He goes alone and lives with the natives and makes friends with them. In Turkey, his friends are the “Young Turks;” in Asia, the Arabs, Bedouins, ‘the fishermen and peas- ants of Galilee; in Alaska, wild na- ture and the gold seekers; in Hawaii, the warm hearted natives and tropical beauty; in Panama, the great.canal builders; in Egypt. and Rome, he lived in the ruins of the magnificent buildings of other centuries. Few people realize the wonderful beauty of that little paradise known as Hawaii. Mr. Payne will show the flower girls, their love making, idols, legends and history; a river of living fire, cascades and caves of lava; a descent of nearly a thousand feet into the crater of the largest liv- ing volcano. in the world. A Real Entertainer. J. Walter Wilson is an enter- tainer. He is an entertainer, how- ever, whose aim is to instruct as well as to please. He is equally at home as “Ben Hur,” “The Prospector,” or “To Him That Hath;” and the other is to introduce entertainment in a lighter vein in the nature of charca- ter impersonations. Mr. Wilson is equipped to give an entire program of either of these forms of entertain- ment, or both, as the case seems to require. Some pleasing features of Mr. Wil- son’s program are presented in his saxophone, flute and vocal solos. In his character impersonations he uses grease paints, wigs and make-up, so that in personal appearance, as well as in mannerisms and voice, his characters are faithfully presented. COUNCIL MAY VOTE TO REFUND MONEY (Continued from Paxe 1.) was brought up, it not being fully understood as to what action should be taken in deducting the ten per cent of the fee placed in the county road and bridge fund and the two per cent placed in the inebriate hos- pital fund. The advice of P. J. Rus- sell, city attorney, was asked and he told the aldermen that it is but a mat- ter of justice and right as to whether the money should be returned; that the money may be returned, or not, just as the council sees fit. Mr. Rus- sell said that no action could be brought against the council should the money be refunded for it had committed a wrongful act in granting the license and that no error would be committed in correcting that mis- take. The matter was temporarily dropped when a motion was passed to have the city attorney submit a written re- view of the law in the matter at the Reduction Reduction 'TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1015..

Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers On August 1, 1914, we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915, we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to $60 on each car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time speci- fied, and profit-sharing checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possiblea fter August 1, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any an- nouncemet of future profit-sharing until a later date.

NOBLE, General Passenger Agent, St. Paul, Minn. FOREIGN DRIVERS STILL CARRYING OFF PRIZES Yankee drivers today have given up any idea they may have about easy picking in the big American auto races. The war, which caused s0 many of the crack French drivers to enlist, raised the hopes of Amer- ican drivers that American prize money would be captured by them- selves. But their hopes were vain for the foreign drivers have just kept com- ing. In the last three big races, Dario Resta, the Anglo-Italian, has copped first prize in two and second in the other. This is a country of easy money for foreign drivers. In the last two years, the Europeans have won $124,- 000, or more than half of the purses strung up by the speedway promoters at Indianapolis and Chicago. Jules Goux, the dare-devil French- man, started it by taking the In- diana 500-mile derby at the Indian- apolis Speedway in 1913. During the same year four other pilots cross- ed the water and when ' they got through they had a total of $26,500 out of $50,000 hung up. The following year was even more profitable. They gobbled nearly ev- erything., Fully four-fifths of the ident of the council, said that he be- lieved no distinction should be made in returning the money but that only such men as had observed the closing order should be considered. It is known that -several .places have sold intoxicants since the clos- ing order became effective and it seems probable that the owners of these establishments will lose the re- fund. ACTUAL SETTLERS BUY STATE LAND (Continued frors Fage 1.) ords show more forty and eighty-acre tracts sold this year than hereto- fore and in most instances the buyers evidenced an interest in their pur- chase and have immediately begun preparations to occupy the lands. At every sale held this spirit has pre- vailed and the speculator who took his full quota of 320 acres as allowed under the state laws has been less in evidence. The cause for less speculation in state lands has brought many -explanations forward, but the European war and the natural tend- ency towards conservation on the part of the investor, are chiefly the reasons. Mr. Preus in advertising the land sales has advised all prospective pur- chasers to visit the section they in- tend locating and make a personal £ “THE NEW BEMIDJI” _Sold in Bemidji ¥ At your favorite store Best nickle pencil on earth.
