KR KK KK KKK KKK KK RS WANTED A SLOGAN FOR BEMIDJI * * All live, growing, buzzing, * hustling cities have slogans. You have seen them on sta- tionery coming from live, en- ergetic business men in live, energetic towns. We believe that now is the time to boost for a greater Bemidji. We should have a slogan. Something that will become as catchy and famous as “Minneapolis Makes Good.” The Bemidji Merchants as- sociation will offer a prize of $5.00 to the author of the best solgan. The contest is open to all citizens. Send in as many as you want to. Address your slogans to the Slogan Editor of the Daily Pioneer. khk ok k ok ok k3 kK ok ok ok ok ok kok ok ok kkk ok ko k kn Kk ok kkkkhkkhkkkkkhkkkk KEKKK KKK K KKK KK KX The Slogan Editor is today flooded with replies received in the Slogan contest being conducted by the Be- midji Merchants association. Each mail is bringing many let- ters, so many, in fact, that all the slogans cannot be published in to- day’s issue of the Pioneer. The slo- gans will probably be published to- morrow. “Bemidji Achieves.” One of the best slogans of the con- test was received today from a Be- midji man. It is “Bemidji Achieves.” The slogan is short and snappy and has a big meaning. Several designs were received to- day. The submitting of designs, how- ever, does not count any more in the contest than does the slogan itself. The wording of the slogan is what counts. Among the Slogans received today are: 93. Bemidji Achieves. 94. Bemidji, Where Opportunity and Achievement Environ. 95. Bemidji for Health, Wealth and Pleasure. 96. I love to roam in my good old home in Bemidji, that’s it. 97. Get health and wealth, if possible with grace. If not, by any means get a health place—Come to Bemidji. 98. Bemidji Stands for All That’s Best. 99. Why not Bemidji? 100. B is for Bemidji, Bright Star of the North. Big Run. BULL St. Paul, Minn., March 15.—(B ETIN y United Press)—Returns from 160 x precincts give Cummins 3,938 votes and Estahrook.775.

The Minnesota branch of the Ger- man-American National alliance and old guard Republicans backed Cum- mins in the race. Vote is a Surprise. The vote in Beltrami county was very much of a surprise. The vote was very light, on account of little interest in the outcome. Blackduck village in a vote on the license question voted no license by a vote of four to one. This is be- lieved to be a very important “straw’’ as to what would be the out- come of a county option election if held this year. nominatien on the Democratic ticket.

Stewart, County Superintend- ent of Schools, Makes Public Contests. TO TAKE PART IN STATE AND COUNTY FAIRS Cups and Other Prizes to Be Awarded to Prize Winners; Teachers to Aid. W. B. Stewart, county superin- tendent of schools, has announced the contests to be given this year for the students of Beltrami county schools. Among the contests are the acre yield of corn contest, the Garden and Canning club contest, the potato contest and the girls’ bread baking contest. To Give Help.

The five teachers ranking highest in the service will be given five dollars each and free admission to the county fair. They will assist at the fair. Canning Contest New. The only new project offered this year is the Garden and Canning club contest which was suggested last year in the canning demonstration held at the fair and in which five clubs took part. Along with the growing of the vegetables is the marketing and canning of the crop. Nothing in the contest may go to waste be- cause that which is not used in the home or sold green is stored and canned. The work of canning is simple and gives a chance for social times. It pays also. Corn Contest Same. The Acre Yield Corn Contest will be the same as was held in the coun- ty for the past two or three years. The amount of cern put in may be from one to four acres. The potato contest of last year has been changed to comply with the state contest and now includes an eighth of an acre of ground. The girls’ bread making contest is the same as in previous years except that there will be a preliminary con- test to select a representative of the county to the state contest. This will be held July 12 in Bemidji. This is the date also of the annual school bad roads. BLACKBURN BEATS CADWELL IN NYMORE In the election in Nymore yester- day H. C.
