- FARMERS WANT T0 ~ inary course while in Chicago. . wrote that England considers peace TRADE IN BEMIDJI; GET MOST FOR MONEY B.A. Ronning B. A. Ronning and L .F. Norquist, farmers in the Moose Lake country, were business callers in Bemidji Tues- day and report that considerable in- terest is being taken by the settlers in that section in the new road to be built, connecting with the main high- way into Bemidji. No Funds Available, This road has already been' or- dered, upon the presentation of a petition of seventy signers to the county board of commissioners, but at present there are no funds avail- able to begin work. The farmers living in this district in order to get to Bemidji are compelled to go by way of Blackduck. Road is Necessary. “The farmers want to trade in Be- midji, because they believe they can o better here than elsewhere,” said Mr. Ronning in speaking of the new road. “I find that I can save more than my railroad fare in dealing with Bemidji merchants, and other farmers in our community would drive here for that same reason if the road was put through. ' We all want to come here and believe that if Bemidji busi- ness men knew how badly we needed that road they would help us get it as soon as possible.” Bemidji is Trading Point, At the Merchants meeting Tues- day afternoon it was unanimously voted to extend every, effort in assist- dng the farmers in urging the comple- tion of that road. A survey will be urged at once so that the farmers who use that road most, if they de- sire, can cut road through prepara- tory to grading. If the road is cut out they will be able to drive over it this winter. There are several hundred families in that se¢tion who will be benefited and who will make Bemidji their trading point as soon as the work is completed. RAY DENNIS NAMED ASST.

Perhaps the Pritish officers’ who were sitting around felt the same. Abe Lincoln World’s Greatest. Suddenly one of them ‘spoke. “One of the greatest men this world ever saw,” he said, “was Ab- raham Lincoln. We've read every word I could find about him, and my two little daughters and two little sons know -everything about Abra- kam Lincoln that I do.” “Do you know, I've heard Lincoln mentioned ever so many times lately. Something in this war, it seems, appears to have turn- ed attention to Lincoln, though I can’t tell why. I've just read a book 'aboul him and I know ever so many [people in London who've done the same. The newspapers keep quot- Ing him all the time, too.” Lincoln Was Underdog. “It’s- because he was always the underdog,” said the first officer. “He was brave and patient and kind and honest. You know my children love that story about him and the six- penny pieces he had in an old sock. “What was that?” asked a third officer. “Well, one time Lincoln kept a grocer’s shop in a little village and the village postoffice was in a corner ‘of his shop. . He had charge of it. One day he failed in business; he’d tried to make a go of it for months, ‘but down he went. All the citizens of the village knew he was ruined and some of the men, who were his good officer. friends, feared that he had probably ¥ used the postoffice money in trying to save his shop. So they collected about forty pounds among themselves —you know everybody who knew Lincoln loved him—and took it to¥ him. ‘Here’s forty pounds, Abe,’ they said. ‘We figured that you had | lost the postoffice money, too, in the smash, and as soon as the sheriff comes around and finds it out you’ll be in trouble. * ‘Just wait a min- ute, boys,’ said Lincoln. ‘I'll. run upstairs and get the postoffice bank and see how I stand.’ Children Have Old Story. “Pretty soon he came downstairs, carrying an old sock, full of coins, six pences and threepences and pen- nies and they were the very coins he had been taking in at the post- office window during all the hard months. “Lincoln counted it all out and then he said, ‘Thanks awfully, boys,, but I don’t believe I need a cent of lyour money.” “That’s the story about Lincoln that my children love the best,” con- cluded the Britisher. In London, some weeks later, at several book stores I discovered there had been a growing demand since the war began, for books on Lincoln. The above is the first of three rather unusual articles by William G. Shepherd, correspondent for the Pioneer through the United Press. Ordinarily a reporter’s opinions are not considered news. In view of Shepherd’s unusual experiences in the past year, the interesting contrast Americanism with which he sees sit- uations in this country oh his re- turn, you probably will look upon this series as an exception. He calls the series “DISCOVERING AMER- ICA,” and divides it into “Discover- . ing America in Europe,” “Discover- ing America in America” and “Dis- . covering the Reason.”—Editor. “Yes,” spoke up another British!will be discussed. 13 | possible to him, and the intensified | to the Indian treaty of 1865.

In a raid on Leverson's soft drink parlor in Remer the special officers found six gallons of alcohol and one quart of whisky. | FARMERS’ MEETING AT ROSBY SEPTEMBER 6 t On September 6, the Grace Lake and Rosby Farmers’ club will hold 2 meeting at the Rosby station. = All farmers within a radius of ten miles are urged to be present at 12 o’clock sharp.

All the letterheads and forms used in your home office or your branches, and all the blanks and slips used in your factories, can be standardized in at least one respect—the paper upon which they are printed. The first requisite, of course, is to find one paper good enough for a letterhead, strong enough for a form to be handled in the workshop and cheap enough to use for everything. HATMERTILL BOND certainly possesses all these qualifications. You will find that it suits the man who wants quality, ‘crackle’’ and strength in a letterhead. The ripple or linen finish is particularly suit- able for letterhead use. But HAMMERMILL BOND is so low in price you can use it for all your slips and forms. It is particularly adapted for them in fact, because it comes in twelve colors and white. You can have different slips printed on different colors and make it easy to dis- tinguish themapart.

HAMMERMILL BOND is the ideal paper for a large concern with many branches in different parts of the country, each buying their own stationery because HAMMERMILL BOND is carried in stock by paper {’obberl: in every large city. One set of specifications will do for all your ranches.
