We want to make one last plea be- fore Christmas for the business in- terests of this city and community. During the next few days you will all be putting the finishing touches to your Christmas shopping, and much money will be passing over || some one’s counters. ‘We ask you to remember the home merchant whenever you can do so, without actual detriment to your- self. He is your mneighbor, your friend, the man 'who has worked loy- ally with you to make this city what it is, to build up our schools, and our churches, and to create all of the other advantages of which we are so proud. His money has always been ready to help along any laudable enterprise and his voice and hands have ever been at work in the interest of you and yours, as well as his. Spend as much of your money in this city, with our own "people, as is possible this Christmas. We are making this last ple”a i behalf of the business men of this city without their knowledge, and it goes to you without their sanction. ‘We are doing this because we think you are all a just people, and that wherever possible you will spend your money in such a way that it & will be of benefit to all of the people as well as yourself. For this is our home city, and - home, you know, will always be just what we make it. Read the ads in this issue of t'le o paper.

Men representing nineteen counties attended the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association meeting here yesterday and today. Much was ac- complished for the best interests of the northern part of the state as|ad well as the entire state. To make the work of development even more efficient the suggestion of Secretary McCarthy at the associa- tion should be carried out in regard to the organization of development associations in every county and de- velopment meetings be held. A few county meetings and the delegates will be better prepared when the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation meets. To the development men of North- ern Minnesota we would bid them to come again to this “Magic City of the North.” The key of this city is theirs’ when- ever they choose to come. Until they do come to this city we would say, ‘“‘auf wiedersehen.” DOLLAR DAY. Tomorrow is Dollar Day in Be- midji.

And if you don’t believe it just ask your long-suffering wife. If congress starts the eagle to screaming our poor old national bird will have a mighty sore throat before that bunch gets through with it. And now the dear constituents will receive sundry copies of fervid and ortorical speeches which Con- gressman So and So never delivered. | Now that Ford is beyond earshot it is time for some other millionaire American to pulll off a fool stunt and render his country even more ridic- ulous in the eyes of the rest of the world.” Barnum once said that “a fool was born every minute,” and we believe it. If His Big Fordship and Their Little Fordships enter German ter- ritory and all get pinched by the fire- eating kaiser, won’t they set up a mighty howl for Uncle Sammy to get them out of the hole! Two hundred million pennies are in circulation in Chicago, and yet the Windy City is facing a penny famine and is beseeching the government to send it more millions. Some villages never do get enough. President Wilson insists that con- &2rvd. Co- gress must trim every ounce ‘uf “pork” from its bills this session. Lorl, what a bat between the eyes!
