It was the Commercial club that battled for the Normal school ap- propriation and spent money and time in aiding in carrying out the work 80 nobly led by Representative Pendergast, Senators Nord and McGarry, Representative Miner, Harry E. Reynolds and many others who might worthily be mentioned. It was the Commercial club that took the initia- THE BEIDJI DAILY PIONEER |4 tive and specially appointed committees and the club in general set to E work to foster the proposition in the supreme effort. It is noticeable that in Bemidji there are several who arrogate to themselves a seemingly high plane in the destinies of the city but when there is actual effort expended in going after the things needed for ALL Bemidji and which requires money, time and co-operation with their fel- low citizens that are found to be slackers. And it is also noticeable that there are enough enterprising citizens who are not to be deterred by any in- action on the part of others but who see the light and are striving to bring Bemidji into her own and who are succeeding despite many handicaps at the hands of the few misguided. MORE FARMERS AND MORE F00D For many years now the young men have been leaving the farms and crowding into the cities. The result is that the cities are congested with idle men and the farms are idle for lack of men. We are compelled to feed not only our own people but the allied na- tions fighting Germany as well—and the men to raise the food are not on the farms. . The allies are suffering for food, and we are facing a shortage even for our own consumption. . Does the prospect look inviting to you? to relieve this condition? Back to the farm—it needs you. tremendous Are you doing your part MUST WORK OR STARVE With a foreign war on our hands and possible famine staring us in the face, every man in the United States who is physically and mentally able should be required to either fight or work. If a chronic loafer is found who will neither fight nor work, then it is incumbent upon the auth- orities to take him into custody, put him in a field and COMPEL him to aid in the production of the vast quantities of foodstuffs that are required to keep the wolf from the American door. should be allowed to sway those whom we have placed in authority over us, for the public welfare must predominate over every other consideration. To put the case bluntly, America MUST WORK OR STARVE. We are at war. We want officers. We want men. We want ammunition. We want equipment. We want ships. food. We want everything and have darned little of anything. We want guns. We want The billions of money the United States are lending the allies will be spent in this country for food and war supplies. That means work for everybody left at home and good money for your work. Well! “Following the flag” with some persons is confined to attaching it to the front ends of their automobiles. “Millionaire youths are coming right to the front,” we read. Good! The poor boy is already there.
