This is very encour- aging, and it should tend to cheer us for the great struggle that has been the incentive to this stimulation of production. But in connection with this there is yet another problem to be solved —that of marketing this crop. In ordinary times this is no little mat- ter. Under present conditions it assumes serious proportions. But it is something that will have to be worked out, and the sooner the intelli- gence of the countrp is put to work on the matter the better the country ‘will fare. The average farmer has no trnublo in marketing his staple crops, such as wheat, corn, potatoes and live stock—at least in normal years. ‘This year, though, he is liable not to fare so well even on these. But the small fruits and vegetables have always been rather hard to dispose of profitably, and will be more so this year. This matter of intelligent marketing should not be left to chance. Intelligent effors should be directed toward it, and preparations ohould start at once. And right here is where @ olose community’ co-upmtlon will prove of invaluable service. The average American farmer raises vegetables and fruits in abundance, and markets them by selecting what his family needs and permitting the overplus to practically go to waste—at least return to the soil. Surplus summer fruits and vegetables are hard to market, but it is right here in this surplus—that is, in getting it to the cities, or to the points of country where it is not produced—that the greatest economy can be practiced. It is to a careful marketing of the surplus perishable products of the farms that community organizations, boards of trade and buslneu men all over the country should direct their attention. It is the irony of fate, as well as laughable. Even the hardeéned thieves and murderers in our jails refuse to have anything to do with the slackers when they are thrust in to serve their sentences. Verily, if the way of the transgressor is hard, it would seem that that of the slacker is hell. HAVE BOATS—NO DOCKS In taking a trip around Lake Bemidji with Captain Parrish in the motor launch Chief Bemidji, a representative of the Pioneer discovered that at practically every point of interest around the lake the craft was . unable to dock. Fact is, the only spot was at Birchmont and the city dock. However, it is said Lavinia is soon to comstruct a dock. For a long time boat service for Lake Bemidji has been a mooted subject for discussion. The lake“now has the boats and Captain Parrish is anxious to serve. But what he is to do or can do in this line is a prob- lem. He received a request Saturday to take a boat load of young folks to Diamond Point, but there is no landing. On the south side of the point is a deep spot and it would require but small expense to construct a safe landing. Who is to do it? Ve don’t profess to knaw. It is so around the lake and all the discussion of securing boats for a proper bcat service amounts to practically nothing when the boats are secured and no dock facilities afforded. ) PRESS SOURCE OF mi-'omrlon When Secretary of War Baker wrote to W. 8. Gifford, director of the Council of National Defense, protesting that the council had no legal power to do some of the things attempted, Mr. Baker said that his “at- tention had been called through the newspapers” to what had been done. Isn’t that a pretty state cf affairs. The Cbuncil of National Defense and jts committees were created by the administration as a war emergency body, but the Secretary of War gets his information concerning their acts “through the newspapers.” A little while ago the administration was trying to put the lid on newspaper publication of matters relating to war activities. If the press censorship had been established as desired, Secretary Baker would have had no means of learning promptly what action had been taken adverse to the interests of his department. Really, this press censorship proposal is worse than most people supposed. It would deprive even the War Department of information it should have. The lake front park is one of the best fruit orchards we ever saw. At least we have noticed several pairs beneath the trees as we saunter to and fro. - Among the arrivals in Bemidji to spe:'ul the summer is Amos. Don’t know Amos? Amos Quito?
