President Woodrow Wilson has proclaimed that Thursday, Nov. 30, be set aside for the celebration of Thanksgiving day. On that day the people shall ex- press to a bountiful Creator their gratitude for blessings. From the time of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathery, Americans have been accustomed to set aside one day in the year wherein to review the past year and take stock of the deal- ings of Providence with us as a people. What was at first the spontaneous expression of grateful hearts soon be- came a custom and as the years sped on, this custom became fixed until today it assumes the sacredness of a permanent institution. To the many positive and material blessings which have been ours dur- ing the past year, there is added on this occasion the especial blessing that we as a people have escaped the madness that has fallen as a blight upon our neighbors and Kkinsmen across the waters. The magnitude of that blessing we cannot at this time begin to estimate. Another new industry for Bemidji —the “Midji"" manufacture. ! The way Minneapolis will go, will go Minnesota. The recount began in Minneapolis today and both par- ties claim that Minneapolis will give them enough votes to select their candidate. RED CROSS SEALS. With the opening of the Red Cross seal sale today, every state and thousands of cities, towns and vil- lages are entering a competition to see who will sell the most seals per capita for the prevention of tuber- culosis in their communities. Over 300,000,000 seals have been distrib- uted for sale. The cities, towns and villages have been divided into ten classes, accord- ing to population, ranging from 600 to 1,000,000 and over. Pennants will be awarded by the American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu- bereulosis in each of the classes. Similar pennants will be awarded to states selling the most seals per in- habitant, the states being divided in- to three classes, according to popu- lation. Last year Hershey, Pa., sold more seals per capita than any other city or town in the United States, reach- ing a total of 29.04. In Rhole Island, 2.29 seals per capita were purchased by the people of the state, a record sale among the states. In addition to the pennants, a spe- cial honor certificate will be awarded to any community which sells five or more seals per inhabitant. It is hoped that this rivalry among cities and states will stimulate the sale of Christmas seals to 100,000,000, This will mean $1,000,000 for the fight against tuberculosis in the United States. Last year the following towns were among the Minnesota pennant winners: Twin Valley, Clarkfield, Tracy, Worthington, Faribault and Virginia. Minnesota won the 1815 pennant for states of its size with a per capita sale of 1.34 sales. Snough seals were sold in Bemidji to secure a school nurse for one month.
