EDUCATE MORE FARMERS It i8 coming to be recognized as a most obvious fact that if we as a people are to again put our country on an equitable living basis we must educate more farmers. Not educate more farmer boys for profes- sions, but educate more BOYS for FARMERS. From the incipiency of the public school up to within the last decade the entire trend of education has been away from the farm and toward the professions. Even the manual training schools have tended to swell the ranks of the mechanical trades at the expense of the farms. No nation can achieve permanent prosperity without a great and pros- perous farming class. When the farm decays the nation deteriorates. Our farms are the very life and heart of our country. Some, though, may ask how we are to educate more farmers. Very simple. Make every free school in the land primarily an agri- cultural school ,and a literary school as a secondary matter. Belles let- ters is not the crowning necessity of existence. Bread and meat are. Edu- cate the youth of the land first toward that which is most vitally necessary to our national life, and when this is accomplished, if there be leisure and means for adding the frills, let them be added. F Nine out of every ten high school pupils on emerging from that school enter the ranks of the toilers, in some department or other. 1f in their education the farm has not only been made attractive to them, but they have been given a thorough and practical knowledge of its workings, then a large per cent of them will as a matter of course choose that as their occupation in life. ‘When war broke out between the allies and the central powers the world stood amazed at the wonderful perfection of the German military machine. But the cause behind it was as simple as A, B, C. Every Ger- man ‘youth had been educated and trained as a soldier FIRST OF ALL— ufter;that for a,yocation. f 3 ;7 But in time war will cease. The arts of peace will again demand the attention and energies of the world, and among them there is none to com- pare with the great art of coaxing from Mother Earth her golden harvests. But, you may ask, if all of the boys are educated to a farmer’s life, what of the professions? . . There will always be some who, by natural fitness, will gravitate to the professions, enough to keep their ranks recruited. As a matter of fact, these same professions could spare half of their present members and not suffer in the least. Educate farmers! 'The farms are suffering for them, and the profes- sions and trades are overburdened with them. 1 LET’S ALL GET IN—WHAT DO YOU SAY? - The Germans aren’t the only ones who have inaugurated a submarine campaign. There’s considerable of it going on right here in Bemidji. It appears that the hit dog is again yelping and if there’s any one looking for a right nice time we suggest starting something and letting us all in. People of Bemidji don’t have to remember very long ago for several things that would prove highly illuminating. For some reason or other (not dif- ficult to figure) there seems to be some discomfiture over results of election. At the recent city election the PEOPLE said what THEY wanted and paid no attention to a lot of four flushing vaporings. Go to it, fellows, and let us all get in the game. Won’t do one bit of harm to tear the crust off and let the PEOPLE of Bemidji take a look at the entire works. PIONEER MAKES AN OFFER The Daily Pioneer, in a spirit of fairness to the PEOPLE of Bemidji, will make this offer: If there is anything not right with the actions of the new municipal administration’s official acts we will be very much pleased to give it the widest and most prominent publicity we are capable of doing. The same offer also holds good for past official acts. ‘We believe that is eminently fair, ig it not? 2 THE PROPER METHOD The average man is a reasonable animal, if he has the reasons pre- sented to him when he is in the mood for reasoning. But he doesn’t like to have the argument shoved at him when he wants to be running his business or playing with the children. He wants what he needs when he wants it. 4 And daily newspaper advertising hands the argument to him when he is in the mood for education. If there’s anything wrong with municipal affairs it should be stated. If there has been anything wrong in PAST municipal affairs, it should be stated ALSO. Do we get a second to it? It’s commencing to itch a little. The "_strategy board” stands just about as much show of getting in any more of its dirty work in Bemidji as a dago orange peddler does iz a St. Patrick’s day parade. The first jewelry worn by civilization was a safety pin but judging by the actions of some persons in Bemidji they’re still wearing "em. ‘When you want to know what kind of a man a fellow is, just get his ‘wife’s estimate of men in general and you will call his number. “The best education in the world is that got by struggling to make a living.”—Wendell Phillips. ANNUAL H. S. DECLAMATORY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MARCH 21 (Communicated) The annual declamatory centest of the Bemidji high school will be held in the high school auditorium on Wednesday night, March 21. This event deserves the patronage of the Bemidji public. Students interested in declamatory work in high school are desirous of arousing enthusiasm enough to make possible participation in -the district contest next year. Patrons of ‘the school can do much to encourage our young people along this' line. One way to do this will be to attend their inter-class contest next -Wednesday night. Each of the four classes presents two contestants, one giving a serious and the other a humorous selection. First and second prizes will be TR R TRY A PAIR Of these $4.00 men’s dress shoes. You will be surprised af the quality and style of these shoes. ‘Wide foot-form last, and a good solid calf or gunmetal shoe, with or without rubber heel, button or lace. Has the wear- ing quality and appearance of many shoes you are now paying five and six dollars for. ‘Why pay more? TRY A PAIR Of those boys’ Neolin sole shoes. ‘We believe we have found the sole that will stand up under the sturdy wide-awake boy. A neat dress shoe, and with this Neolin sole,” which is water proof and will wear longer than any other sole made, should be the ideal shoe for the kids. TRY A PAIR Of our men’s $3.00 heavy work shoes. Good heavy shoe, wide lasts, made for service. Get a can of Dri-Foot—water proofs the shoe, keeps it soft and pliable and will add a great deal to the wear of the shoe.

Good for the Whole Family “A good cough remedy is one that can be depended u;l:t:i to c:urzl coughs. en]l.flot one that cures some particular cough,-but coughs in gen It mustbe a o:ugh remedy that can be relied upon for all the different coughs that are so p: ent. le the causes of coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient is what makes the difference-in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of invalids. The powerful convulsive congh of a large man i harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy that will cure a large man’s cough and yet not be too for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy. It is com- posed of things whicfi cure easily and soothingly without harm- ing the most delicate tissues of the throat. It acts as easily and safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy for coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.
