Every one will mourn the loss of Minnesota’s chief executive. His public career is a heritage to all the people of the state. His death will fall upon the people, not only as a public loss, but a personal loss, for Mr. Hammond’s long career has won for him a legion of personal friends. Governor Hammond was a high minded man. He had an infinite capacity for attention to details and nothing passed through his office un- til he knew it was absolutely right. He had a stern exterior and a cour- age to do right at all times. Every question that he decided was on the basis as to whether it was right or wrong, and not whether it was expe- dient or advisable politically. He was a quiet, modest, unassum- ing man, not given to advertising his good deeds, and what impressed most of his friends was his uniform cous- tesy, his kind-hearted sympathy and his absolute integrity. He was a charming conversation- alist and a public speaker of rare eloquence and unusual persuasive power. The entire nation bows in grief for his loss. THE YEAR 1915. Today is the end of a death. Today the New Year, 1916, is ap- proached with a feeling of sorrow and sadness. Today, when we should revel in the joy of living, we are consumed with passion for our brothers who are perishing in the blood-soaked trenches of Europe. We are weigh- ed down with sorrow for the unfor- tunate men and women who must bear the burdens of the greatest and most destructive human blight the world has ever known. Our hearts are saddened with regret and the spirit of the New Year is forgotten in a wild and bloody carnage of death and destruction. As we turn our faces to look at the year 1915, the year that dies to- night, in our visions we see the crim- son stained fields of Europe, the fam- ine ridden land of Mexico, the dying race of the Christian Armenians, on every hand the grim and terrible spectre of harsh, violent, sudden and agonizing death. May we never see the like of such a year of death again. May the new year, 1916, bring joy and prosperity. May the New Year bring ‘“peace on earth, good will toward men.” Happy New Year. year of The city of Bemidji should imme- diately get behind the Jefferson high- way project as the highway passing through Bemidji will'mean much for the city. It will bring hundreds of automobile tourists to this city from the south and it will open out an excellent way of travel to the coun- try north of this city. It is a worthy project and should be ‘“‘pushed” as much as possible. The Prohibition national conven- tion will be held in Minneapolis on July 19. The national committee made a mistake. They should have held the convention somewhere in the Indian “lid” territory. It looks bad to go to Minneapolis. Three little candidates, Buckman, Opsahl and Knutson, all sitting in a row looking for more; Mark J. Woolly of Park Rapids, as- pires to go to congress, so now there are four. Next. And one correspondent figured it out that we could do New York:to- night in New Year’s celebration for $72.50. A large number of political candi- rates will get out of the trenches in 1916 ADVERTISING MESSAGE - FO BUSINESS AMERICA. By.JoserH H. FINN. ichols-Finn Advertising Co., Chicago Huail to thé New. Year of Ncw Business in the New America. If ever a year was born under a bright star of commer- cial promise for the United States, it is 1916. The Home Market holds America’s destiny as never before. Every business barometer registers good times ahead. If there is one pessimist of your acquaintance—one man who fails to wealize what this wonderful new era of American business pre-eminence means—go at .him broadside with these staggering truths. FIGURES may be dull—but these proclaim FACTS that are of TREMENDOUS import: CROPS—America’s bulwark—have reached their rec- ord mark. The nation’s principal farm crops this year are worth about $5,500,000,000—over half-a-million dollars more than in 1914, the previous banner year. CLEARANCES—The week ending December 4th, 1915, checks for $4,986,000,000 passed through the country’s clearing houses—the largest amount ever handled in one week’s time. GOLD—Mr. Robert M. Woolley, director of the Mint, goes on record with the statement that the United States now has one-fourth of all the coined gold—the world’s standard of value—a phenomenal condition! The HOME MARKET—The freight car shortage points an unmistakable finger to the enormous increase in the de- mand of the Home Market as well as shipments to the war countries. RETAIL SALES—The biggest Christmas business in history is the cheering message from the retail shops. POSTAL RECEIPTS—Postmaster-General Burleson reports “postal receipts contain evidence of healthy and well- distributed prosperity in the country.” No matter where you look, you will find something to verify this good times message. The big things for you to remember are— —that Prosperity is NOT a mirage—a glorious prospect in the offing—it is an established fact—IT’S HERE— —that in large measure the good times are not related to the needs and emergencies of European nations— —that America is becoming more and more self-sup- porting— —that Made-in-America—Made-by-Americans—Made- for-America—for American profit is becoming more and more the country’s safeguard and business insurance for the fu- ture. If this be selfishness—Ilet’s have more of it. And, most of all, remember that real solid and lasting prosperity in this country is based on the Home Market— and those who enjoy the biggest share of this prosperity will be they who realize what the Home Market means and who go most aggressively after it. F. A. Vanderslip, President of the National City Bank of New York, an eminent financial authority, writes in “The Independent”: “There is capital available in this country to inaugurate enterpriscs that will employ every man in the country with out a dollar’s worth of war business * * * If Great Britain and Germany each can raise approximately $6,000,000,000 in fifteen months for war purposes, what could the United States do for industry—for its own progress—if a spirit of unity and high purpese could direct its action?” And that is the most vital New Year’s thought—per- haps the most important message that could be directed to Business America—the need for Unity and Action. Let’s go constructively after the Home Market—let’s cducate home buyers—let’s do it with « VIM—TOGETHER! Let’s use the power of the printed word. If you have goods to sell—let’s ADVERTISE—and tell American consumers about them. The way to accelerate prosperity in your direction is to seize upon this wonderful Home Market Opportunity, now. Remember that the export business at best is an uncertain asset, resting upon the final solution of the International Credits problem—first, the establishment and then the pro- ection of our own Merchant Marine. ‘What we have here at home, we know we've got. Our riches are here—in the soil—in the banks. And every day, as conditions better, there is a wider distribution of this na- tional wealth. Croakers—calamity howlers—need no longer wail for a return of the good old times. Here are times better than the old ones ever dared to be! Here is America’s opportunity to grow as a commercial power—to heights which a few years ago seemed unattain- able. But, as always, the reward goes to those who are will- ing and brave enough to act. Business America today is a gold mine—but the man who would succeed must wield his own pick and pan his own pay-ore. Lethargy is costly! In England those who side-step military enlistments are known as slackers. And the commercial “slackers in the United States—those who hesitate now about taking the proper measure of promotional activity and sales stimula- tion—are wasting I believe the most precious opportunity that comes in a lifetime. Here is the Business New Year—jyours to do with as you will. America has the money. Here, buying-thoughts. With 1916 comes an epoch of unexampled prosperity— for the wise men of this business generation. With this New Year, you stand on the threshold of Op- portunity. Are YOU going to enter? It’s up to you—Advertise to the Home Market! ————ee e people are thinking of “forget” all around. x KRR KKK KKK X KKK a few days.

Country people in every state, he declared are living in uncomfortable and inconvenient homes, using un- sightly and inefficient roads and schools and dying of tuberculosis be- cause there has not been adequate planning of country resources. “Why should anyone care for hy- drangea paniculata grandifiora in the front farm yard,” he asked, ‘“while the side yard, where the family ought to live, is strewn with rotting farm machinery, the back yard reeks and the pestilential well gives up water succulent with the drainage from the kitchen sink?” Why Hogs Root. Hogs root because they want some- thing nature leads them to search for in the ground. What is this? Prob- ably worms and other animal food. says Farm and Fireside. Anyhow, Ev- vard of Towa, whose hogs were root- ing up the pasture, instead of ringing them, gave them meat meal in self feeders. In three days they stopped rooting, and as they were getting a better balanced ration no doubt the meat meat not only saved the pasture. but added more to the gains than it cost.
