Exponents of every profession and vocation in Detroit attended the ban- quet and much ‘‘community spirit” was shown. Addresses and toasts were given, praising Detroit, exploit- ing its advantages, praising the farm- ers around Detroit, talking “trade at home” and urging the banishing of outside trade and of mail order trade. The banquet was very much a suc- cess and much ‘“community spirit” was shown. * * * Down in Detroit, Minn., today there is a feeling of disappointment and bitterness because of the exam- ple set by some of the “loudest home trade talkers’” at the banquet. That several of the business men, who at interested in the upbuilding of De- troit’s business prosperity, are in- gincere in their talk, is evident from the fact that these prominent men| even went to the Twin Cities to pur-! chase automobiles when the same line was handled by a Detroit firm. | Examples set by these men, these| talkers, are what discourage and make failures of all “commuuityi cept. It is the best modeler of the character of men and women. To set a lofty example is the richest be- quest that a man or-woman can leave behind them. The above brings home the fact that all men, especially men of prom- inence and influence should be care- ful to set a standard by their lives and business dealings which, if fol- lowed as an example by their fel- lows, will bring no discredit upon them as individuals, nor upon the community in which they reside or transact their business. * * * The citizens of Detroit, Minn., have || =|a right to comment unfavorably of the business men who although they desire “home folks” to trade with them, in turn trade with an out- sider. They do not conduct their business in accordance with a policy which must be applied to make the city of Detroit a modern and thriv- ing city. % * * * The Bemidji merchants held’ a banquet last week at whichi over 140 people were present. Home trade was the keynote of the ban- quet. Mrs. Eduard F. Netzer urged everyone to work for ‘“home trade” and to combat the mail order houses and outside trade. She gave as her reasons why she traded at home as follows. “First, I have my interests here. “Second, because I believe in trans- acting business with friends. “Third, because the community that is good enough for me to live in is good enough for me to buy in. “Fourth, because the man I pur- chase from pays his part of the city and county taxes. “Fifth, because I believe in my town and its future.” \ - - . Bemidji merchants meet with the various farm organizations in the county at each meeting of the farm organizations. They assist the farm- ers in finding a market for their ar- ticles in Bemidji and they work to- gether in “community spirit.” Bemidji merchants not alone talk “home trade” but they practice “home trade.” When they are in want of an article they do not pick up a mail order catalogue, nor do they hurry to the Twin Cities, but they go to their fellow merchants or to their farmer friend and see whether or not they can in turn fill the want. “As the twig is bent so inclineth the tree!” Bend the twig so that the fruit- laden tree will shed its fruit in your iown territory.

It will be an ob- ject of pity where it should be one of pride, Education and the advantages of intellectual advancement have made America a great country. And Am- erica is even yet in its infancy. Our school system should be en- couraged and raised to the highest point of efficiency. The instructors should be upheld and given to un- derstand that they have the back- ing of a united community, and that the community expects satisfactory results. If our present buildings in Be- | midji are inadequate and new ones are needed, then for the sake of en- lightened community let us spend the money and get them. Let us imake any other improvements or new children require. We have brought these children {into the world, and in their infancy Izmd youth they are helpless. It is lour duty to give them an educa- tion that will enable them to success- fully cope with the intricate prob- lems of existence that will confront )them later in life. To do less would be to neglect a sacred duty, to | shame the innocent ones for whose very existence we are responsible. Let us keep our schools and our children in mind. Let us study their welfare individually and col- stone their ! i ;Iectively. Let us leave mno unturned that will advance moral and material interests.
