All of which is good—very good. But one highly important feature of the problem before us must not escape our attention. THE FOOD HOG MUST BE PENNED. Any sane man knows that a large per cent of the really extortionate prices of today are NOT the result of an alarming scarcity. They are the result of an insatiate greed for gain that takes no account of the dic- tates of common humanity. And this greed is not confined to the wicked trusts. They are bad enough, we all know, and there is no excuse to be made for them. But many men in more humble positions are equally avaricious. Merchants who buy on a rising market and hoard their purchases until the price suits them before turning loose; the farmer who holds his corn for $2 while his neighbors clamor in vain to buy it at the market price—both are equally guilty. 'We have heretofore asserted that high prices are an epidemic. They get started on the upward slant, and every fellow who has a surplus at once locks his doors and holds for a killing. And right now they are making a killing—they are killing their country. The man who has a c:yxlllxlo(ii()' for sale, but refuses to sell at market prices, is a menace to his country in this emergency and should be severely dealt with. If the law can not reach him, there is yet public opinion, by which he should be pilloried. CERTAINLY “GREAT DISCOVERIES” You no doubt noticed in yesterday's Pioneer a dispatch stating that the government had *discovered” that coal prices were several times higher than all reascn and that there was no coal shortage, etc., etc.,, and proposing that something or other be done with the robbers. The ‘“‘dis- covery' is indeed astounding. the government ** Let's see, we remember quite recently that covered” the Standard Oil controlled all the oil in- ter discovered’” huge combinations of food price boosting ca s. print paper robbers and a few other equally “patriotic” or- ganizations. They are indeed great ‘“‘discoveries.” ‘We are dubious over all this talk about “selective conscription.” It has completely demoralized our Sons of Rest. A number of them have actually gone to work, and others are seriously considering a life of toil —until the war is over. Thus one by one our cherished institutions are being smashed. and also Buy a Liberty Bond. It was E. H. Harriman, the great railroad mag- nate who stated, “One good investment is worth more than the saving of a lifetime.” W. L. Brooks of the Northern National bank is Minnesota representative for Beltrami county in the Liberty Loan. Ask him. Gec a barrel for your cans and rubbish and keep your cans and rub- plsh in the barrel. So says the board of health. By so doing your prem- ises will be sweet and clean and you'll enjoy better health, thanks to the board. At the present express rate of speed of the congressional slackers and porkers and cbstructionists we will have an army of a hundred men in France in about fifty vears. Like the jackass, we do move, You. Mr. Commercial Club Member, get out tonight and be at the meeting at Club rooms. There are several important matters to come up for discussion and you are interested. Be there. There are several who have joined the Clean Up, Paint Up and Stay Up movement in Bemidji. Why don’t you join? It is quite safe to annex a June bl:ide, brother—provided you are 31 or over. “If rice is served, omit the potatoes,” says an expert.

W’C00L’S TRIAL SET FOR JUNE 4 DUNN SLAIN AFTER CONNERY St. Paul, May 22.—Frank McCool, confessed assomplice in the murder of Mrs. Dunn in St. Paul and Patrol- man Connery in Minneapolis, entered a plea of not guilty when arraigned on a first degree murder indictment in connection with the Connery case in district court in Minneapolis yes- terday. His trial was set for June 4. The decision to murder Mrs. Alice McQuillan Dunn was not made until the day after Patrolman George Con- nery of Minneapolis had been kid- napped and beaten to death in the Fridley woods, April 24. This was the decision of Joseph L. Redenbaugh, boy bank bandit and confessed white-masked assassin of Mrs. Dunn and slayer of Patrolman Connery, when he reached St. Paul from San Francisco, where he was arrested. Redenbaugh returned in custody of County Attorney P. D. O’Brien, and was taken to Minneap- olis, where he awaits trial on the charge of murdering Patrolman Con- nery.’ Redenbaugh will be prosecuted for the murder of Patrolman Connery, and then will be used in St. Paul as. the chief witness against Frank J. Dunn, former husband, St. Paul and Minneapolis officials agreed.
