There is but one answer: \ WE MUST REDEEM THE WASTE: PLACES OF OUR COUNTRY— AND THE WASTE MEN. Food speculators are responsible for much of it, but wa waste men are responsible for even more. Is it a matter for wonder that food supplies are held at almost famine ! prices when we are confronted with the spectacle of hundreds of thou- sands of men tramping the streets of cities and towns, doing nothing and prodn'clng nothing, while within a few hours walk of any of them lie broad acres of land that are idle because there are none to cultivate them? Let up stop hanging the high cost of living onto the war. It may have had something to do with the skyrocket prices, but very little, be- cause we are exporting less than heretofore, a hundred million dollars less in 1916 than in 1915. We may twist and squirm and wiggle all we please, but we can not escape the fact that the law of supply and demand will regulate the cost of that which we consume. _"Goino on Over, See My Corn Fall Off!” “I Put 2 Drops of ‘Gets-It’ on Last v Night—Now Watch—" “See—all you have to do is to use your two fingers and lift the corn right off. That’s the way ‘Gets-It’ always works. You just ‘put on about 2 drops. Then the corn not only shrivels, but loosens from the toe, without affecting the surround- ing flesh in the least. Why, it’s al- most a pleasure to have corns and ste places and —————— A e S S S S A PR RS ARy THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER & . , FRUAS JANUARY 26 1917, And, equally, we cannot escape the fact that millions of acres of land are idle because hundreds of thousands of men would rather go hungry in a city than live on the fat of the land on a farm—would rather beg at the back doors of city dwellers than to ride in their own automobiles on country roads. Harsh words, but true! We read of congress appointing committees to ‘“‘investigate the high cost of living.” But about the only “investigating” that is done is to see just how much money can be extracted from the public till in the shape of “committee expenses.” If you want to know why you are paying so dearly for the supplying of your table just step into a car and spend one day in driving around to the farms of this township. Question the farmers and see how many would like to employ more help—IF THEY COULD GET IT. Then go home and use your brains instead of allowing others to do y your thinking for you.

But we are too indifferent to do the kicking. “That Was a_Quick Funeral That Corn Had With ‘Gets-It’.” see how ‘Gets-It’ gets them off in a hurry and without the least pain. 1 can wear tight shoes, dance and walk as_though I never had corns.” “Gets-It” makes the use of toe- jrritating salves, bundling bandages, tape, plasters and other things not only foolish, but unnecessary. Use this wonderful discovery, “Gets-It,” for any soft or hard corn or callus.

They are strong men, capable of enduring any hardship on the farm. But they are not on the farm and probably no one has ever mentioned farm to them. Why can’t the farmers of this section at least get together and devise and means of bringing these half starved people to the country where he soil—where they can LIVE instead of And all we v-ays they can be put to work tilling 1l merely EXISTING? It might cost a few dollars to get them here, but the waste places would be cultivated and the waste men would be converted into useful citizens.
