RED LAKE COUNTY While Red Lake is some distance from the county named after it, the Red Lake river, which derives its name from the lake, flows through the county. Beltrami, the Ttalian explorer, who traveled in this region in 1823, trans- lated the Chippewa name for the lake and river as *‘Bloody” and thought it re- ferred to the “blood of the slain,” in the Indian wars. A more correct translation, it appears, is ‘“red water lake” and the Indian name derived its significance from the color of the water in the lake when reflecting the redness of sun- set. Red Lake county was established in 1896.

There is no known cure and the Democratic political family is sorrowfully awaiting his political death which is but a mat- ter of months. They eulogize him; his faults become virtues; he 'is re- membered for what he has not done, not for his constructive work. The pen that wrote those countless notes is indeed mightier than the sword. ‘We have not only mnot gone to war with Europe but we have also ‘main- tained our boast of being ‘too proud to fight; we have not only ingrati- ated ourselves with Carranza but we have also chased Villa. Our foreign representatives and home appointees have been weak but ’tis well for they were not positive or aggressive men; they did nothing and for that they are surely not to blame. And well may this leader be praised! He served his country to the best of his ability in ‘a trying period. No one doubts his sincerity and even his political enémies admit his scholarly ability. He proved him- self an excellent college president. But the-American-peopie want posi- tiveness if not aggressiveness; they| hate a vacillating mind. They want a man who ‘will ‘place ‘his all upon his assertions and then stick'by them. We are too proud to be laughed ‘at by all the foreigh powers. We do St.fLouis reflects the listlessness of the-¢ity itself. ‘Mr. Hughes looms up big and all they have against him is that he at one time honorably served as a justice of the United States su- preme. court. What campaign ma- terial that will make! FLAG DAY. Today is ‘“Old Glory’s” birthday. The American flag—the Stars and Stripes—is one hundred and thirty- nine years old today. On June 14, 1776, congress enacted: “‘That the flug of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, represent- ing a new constellation.” There are still thirteen stripes, in memory of the original colonies and there are forty-eight stars, one for each state. Fly the flag on all suitable occasions. INSURANCE. The following is a statement of in- surance premiums received and losses incurred by fire insurance companies during ‘the year 1915 and the past twenty-three years as shown by the records of the state department of in- surance: Bemidji—Premiums received in 1915, $57,787.56; losses incurred in 1915, $73,433.50; premiums received during the past 23 years, $612,642. 97; losses incurred during the past twenty-three years, $350,591.06.

To the Editor of the Pioneer: It is important at this time, that the taxpayer and voter give serious consideration to his choice of state representative. ‘We want a man who is well quali- fied, by his own practical experience, in this county, to represent us-at St. Paul. We want one who understands the needs of this district and one who has made a success of his community and business life. Charles Carter of Hines is the logi- cal candidate. Mr. Carter home- steaded in this county in 1898, stud- ied law two years, then went into the land and logging business at Hines, where he has resided ever since. Mr. Carter has always taken an active interest in the development of our county along agricultural lines. He has been instrumental in building up his own community, in the way of good schols, good roads and the bringing in of prosperous settlers. A man that makes good at home is the man to send to do the work away from home. Mr. Carter has always stood for the settlers’ interests, such as the selling of dynamite at cost for land clearing purposes, state aid for rural schools, in proportion to that®appro- priated for the state university, and he demands the immediate refusal of the granting of any more ditch peti- tions, and letting of contracts for same, also the issuing of county bonds in payment thereof. ‘He also takes the postion that we have several million acres of high land fit ‘for cultivation now, with enough good roads through same, that if the land along these roads now built, or under construction, was séttled upon at 80 ‘acres to the man, we would have 25 settlers to every one we now have. ‘He contends that prosperity for the not want the feminine. privilege of| | constantly changing ;our ;minds, the privilege of talking, -talking, talking. We are not an effiminate nation, though we do treat our women with the greatest respect and show them more homage than any other nation; we are even nibbling at woman. suf- frage, but ridicule is decidedly -dis- tasteful to us. You can wound an American much quicker with the stab of ridicule than with the threat of a big stick. The Democrats appreciate the psychology of the American mind. They hoped for a hopeless split in the Republican and Progressive-par- ties. They did not expect to:win be- cause of their own:strength but be- cause of the wrangling among. their political enemies. The splendid and enthusiastic rally around Hughes is discouraging; it will hasten the end of their leader. They realize that Hughes is a big character, a man who can write notes equal to those of their own standard bearer, a man who means what he says -and who backs up his sayings, a man who has the aggressiveness of a Roosevelt; the learning of a Wilgon, the judicial poise of a Taft, the diplomacy -and tact of a Root. No wonder that the convention l‘ business man, the settler and day worker depends-on-the develop of that part of our county that is fit for the raising of crops and in proxi- mity to railroads, wagon Toads ‘an villages. Mr. Carter insists that our taxes be decreased -and will ‘do-all in ‘his and power ‘to eliminate excessive costly expenditure of public funds. In short, we ‘believe that in Chas.| S. Carter of Hines we have a mai who can do the most good for the greatest number of people :in Bel trami county and his record :s such that he should be nominated June 1 by a very large majority. E. L.

The story of the loaf of this bread, which you buy to- day, really began 54 years ago, when a raisin enthusiast planted a few seeds of a fine variety of raisin grape in Southern California. It was found that the soil and climate of this wonder- ful section were well adapted to the culture of the raisin, which has become the “fruit-food of the nation.” From those first seeds to the development of the Sun- Maid Raisin to today, there has been continuous pro- gress in the growing, the curing, the packing and shiping of this great fruit. Without this progress.the Sun-Maid Raisin, ‘as you get it now in your California Raisin Bread, would not have been possible. There is more than half a century of work and care be- hind every loaf of this bread you buy. Buy Koors California Raisin Bread N ALL DEALERS HAVE IT e.
