Minnesota is certain to benefit greatly by ‘“Newspaper Week” and from the enthusiasm and interest which has been aroused among the publishers of the state it now seems certain that the proposition, large one that it is, will be carried for- ward to a successful consummation. The Pioneer aims to assist and en- courage any enterprise or plan that might work for the bettering of city, county or state, and its columns will be filled with articles of a “boosting” nature during the week. The publishers of the Pioneer in- vite residents of Bemidji and Bel- trami county to contribute articles concerning agriculture, dairying and development in general, to be used during the week. It is an excellent opportunity for many to assist in a boosting scheme which will surely prove of great value to the county, as well as to the state. Let’s all| help. “Our own people may not know it,” says Editor H. C. Hotaling of the ‘White Earth Enterprise, in speaking of “Newspaper Week,” “but the editors who believe firmly in the slo- gan of ‘Seeing America first,’ are thoroughly wide awake to the fact that we have a state that ranks with the best. The editors -have trayeled widely in their various as- sociation outings, and have been able to separate the wheat from the chaft. “Every country has its drawbacks but Minnesota has less of them than some others, and the man who has his fortune to make will find that our soil brings returns that can be count- ed upen, that our mines, our timber interests and manufacturing are all sources of wealth to the man who is willing to labor. “These facts will be ably set forth with the result that it is hoped to send out a million Minnesota papers unfolding the story of the state’s achievements and resources. It will be_a story of more than passing in- terest and one which. will have. for its result the.bringing of many new residents to the state. ¢ “Time is ripe for such a boost. The old world is. all torn up with carnage and strife, and with the cessation of war many will be seeking new homes in this country. This boost on the part of the newspapers is to be given without money and without price as a fitting memorial to the semi-centen- nial of the Minnesota Editorial as- sociation, an organization which has making the resources of the bread and butter state known to the world. “Besides this, the Minnesota edit- ors contemplate additional boosting by bringing the National Editorial association to Minneapolis-in 1917.”| KRR KR XK KK KKK KK * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS v' BT XL e RS ER S & 8 ‘We. confess we can’t undersumd ;how, some. newspaper. men_argue. who = keep insistihg that the last legisla- ture “cut” the aid to-schools when it appropriated $200,000 more than was given for the same purpose by the legislature two years ago.—Pine City Pine Poker. ! o .An editor of an exchange sarcasti- cally remarks that he wants to buy a sack of flour, a pair of shoes and a straw hat and he is ready to receive the lowest bids on the same.
