WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION? Are you a land owner? If so, what is your intention with regard | to the land that you own? Do you propose to regard it merely as a busi- ness investment, and to extract from it every possible dollar of profit? We have known farmers whose treatment of their land was calcu- lated to leave the impression that they were the ones for whom it was originally created, and that when they should cease to need it no other use would ever be made of it. - On the other hand, there are men—and many of them—who, while striving to make their land as productive as possible, have yet an eye to the future owners. Bvery farmer, when he takes charge of a piece of ground, should frame this simple resolution: T “I hereby resolve that, whether my occupany of this 1and be long or short, I will use every means at my com- mand to leave it more productive than whep I found it.” If this were the guiding principle of every farmer’s life, what a blessed and productive country ours would become in a few generations of time! f And why not? Every farmer who has ever worked with impoverished soil knows how discouraging and heart sickening is the struggle. And every farmer who has honestly endeavored to improve his land to a point of real productiveness knows how gratifying it is to see his yield mount upward from year to year and to feel that as the seasons go by he is adding substantially to the wealth of this country—for after all is said, land is the great tangible asset of the earth. The man who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one was growing is a benefactor of mankind. The man who so depletes his soil that only one blade will grow where two formerly grew, is a thief. Hard words, yes, hard, but true. No man has a right to impoverish the soil, even if he does hold a title deed to it. At best it is only his for a season, when it must pass on to another rightful owner. And what about the rights of that next owner? And the next, and the next? When you pllréue a policy that impoverishes your land it goes to your son at your demise, poorer than when you received it. Have you, in that event, been honest with your son? to receive from you what you received—certainly no less. Will the farmers of America rob the unborn genérations, or will they leave for them the legacy of a better land than they thmselves inherited? It is a personal question which each individual must answer for himself. ) PR s f, % He had a right When a candidate for a public office résorts to intimidation, or at- tempted intimidation, and uses dirty and underhanded tactics to acquire an office, it is time an operation was performed by the taxpayers and de- cent citizenship and that individual amputated from opportunity for any such further machinations. Yes, fellows, the decent citizenship of the city of Bemidji have de- cided to take over THEIR business affairs and transact them for a little while at least. And the chances are they may decide to continue. ‘Wouldn't be at all surprising. * There are many peéple who wouldn’t think for a moment of going into an apple orchard after peaches, yet they have voted for unscrupulous candidates for public office and expected honest and efficient service in return. This month is going to be some month, sure 'nuff. Let’s see, there’s February 12, Lincoln’s birthday; February 14, St. Valentine’s day; Feb- ruary 22, Washington’s birthday, and February 20, —————day. We have often been.asked why it was we didn't “get after” certain individuals. Why, bless your hearts, it would break a snake’s back to try to follow some of ’em. L ~ Wouldn't it make some “politicians” mad if they were separated from the pie counter? We have a sneaking idea that it would. No one would have cared so much if it hadn't been that certain “politicians” got their feet in the bucket also. In times past it has been simply awful. After February 20 it is going to be awfully simple. Man is not a giraffe by any means, but when a pretty girl trips along he can twist his neck in a dozen different ways. That man Villa must be either a humorist or a wag. He calls us the “barbarians of the north.” The higher the price of the hat the more the woman raves and the louder the old man cusses. Paraguay is said to have bank notes that are worth only half a cent. Keep ’em. Is anybody scared of any “politicians?”” Just remember, ‘‘size isn't everything.” You can hear a watch tick Further than you can Hear a bed— Tick. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER SORE THROAT Eases Quickly When You Apply a Little Musterole And Musterole won'’t blister like the old-fashioned mustard plaster. Just spread it on with your fingers. It pene- trates to the sore spot with a ‘gentle tingle, loosens the congestion and draws out the soreness and pain. Musterole is a clean, white ointment made with oil of mustard.

GIVEN (The Pioneer Hardware Digest) VOL. II. NO. 6 Bemidji, Minn., Feb. 2 Issued Weekly Four Cold Facts We carry a full line of JOHN DEERE plow lays and are listing be- low a few FACTS about the Deere genuine soft center lays. Fact No. 1—A million high grade, steel lays are worth more money than all the complete implements made in some plow factories. 2—DEERE & CO. make that num- ber of shares every year. They have the largest and best equipped depart- ment in the world for building high grade plow shares. 3—If they wanted to lower the quality of their shares—if price were the whole thing—they could undersell any bogus share maker. 4—BUT THEY INSIST on making DEERE SHARES so good that farm- ers of experience and judgment who measure price by service and actual value will have no other— These are the reasons €0 many John Deere plow shares are sold an- nually. ATKINS SAWS— KEEN KUTTER AXES The,above named Saws and Axes make a woodsman smile every time he gets a chance to handle them. They have just the right ng and material to make them very easy to keep up in shape, and are covered by an absolute factory and 'also the “GIVEN” guarantee. Remember this is° not warranted but GUARAN- TEED. If they do not hold up bring them back and get new ones. Deere Stover Feed Mills Albert Keehr, one of the prosper- ous farmers of this community, was in and bought a STOVER feed mill. Albert realizes the value of a good feed mill and all farmers should, as farmers cannot afford to feed high priced grain without grinding it. Twenty per cent of the grain fed whole does absolutely no there is a saving then of 20 per cent when you feed ground grain. Feed- ing ground grain also destroys weed WATCH REMEMBER THE DATES FEBRUARY 6th AND 7th De Laval users, do not forget these dates are our De Laval service days. If your separator is not working just right and should need a little ad- justment, bring it in and we will be glad to look it over and make the needed adjustments. This is the last News we will be able to mention these SERVICE days in, so kindly remember the dates. POCKET KNIVES See our window full of SHUR- EDGE pocket knives which we have on display. These are made in the U. S. A. and are absolutely guaran- teed to satisfy. If they do mot hold up, bring them back and they will be replaced. Prices from 25c to $3.00. Golumbia Ignitor Batteries ‘When you are buying a set of bat- teries for your gas engine or phone, why not get the Columbia Ignitor Battery? There is very little dif- ference in the first cost, and for ser- vice they will outlast any battery on the market. Give them a trial and be convinced. We are Columbia Battery Head- quarters. Wm. Haberlie of the Town of Frohn purchased a hay carrier out- fit this week. William is a worker -|and wants to get the carrier installed during the .quiet winter months and be prepared when the spring comes to do his spring work Henry Ohngren of Nymore and F. E. Barker of Wilton were in and purchased John Deere cutter gears this week. If you are thinking of getting a cutter gear call in and examine these gears. SI DRAFT SAYS Sam White, the grocer, 'lows as how it don’t take more string to have quality and satisfaction wrap- ped up in each package that leaves the store. US B & IT PAYS N T R R R U-n-i-v-e-r-s-a-1 Ranges. In a conversation with two parties the other day, about stoves, the mat- ter of good ranges was brought up. One party spoke up and said he had the best range on the market. The other party disputed him and said he had the best range made. I did not interrupt their conversation till they talked it over and then told them they both had the same kind of’ ranges. The one looked at the other and said: “I didn’t know you had a - Universal, too.”” (These names fur- nished if desired). If you do not use a De Laval, let. us know and we will be pleased to- let you try one as we are sure you would be convinced that the De La- val is the best buy for the money" that is on the market today. It has been in the lead since the first sep-- arator was invented in 1878 by Gus- tav De Laval. Talking to a party the other day,. he said he expected spring would ar- five earlier this year around Be- midji. I asked him why and he said it would be pretty hot around here- about Feb. 20. Guess he’s right. This week we added a new custom- er to our list of Universal users. He purchased a Simplex Universal Com- bination Gas, Coal or Wood range, which you saw advertised in last week’s Saturday Evening Post. J. N. Skrivseth of Turtle River- - was a business visitor this week. Fencing Fonclug Foncing Now is the time to buy what fenc-- ing, either barb wire or woven wire, that you will be needing this spring. The market on wire and nails is high but the prospects are that they will be very much higher before spring. At present we have a price on fencing that cannot be matched for the same weight considered, md!\ we would ask you to give us a call, . place your order with us and you can take it out while there is good sleighing. 7 ARE NEWS 3 i <kt Deafartiva
