Reports have been coming in of the sale of crops “in the field,” in advance of the harvest, to be delivered on the order of the buyer, or to be harvested by the bu\yer at his pleasure. Past experience has shown our people that in many instances these crops are never harvested. This is not oversight on the part of tle pur- chaser, as some credulous pe;sons might think. 1t is deliberate and with a purpose. The crops are bought with this possible end in view. Our food hogs are shrewd. Government and state reports presage a record production™f food crops this year. In the natural order of things this would be bound to lower prices to some extent, even in the face of the heavy foreign demand. But this is just what the food speculator does not wish to see occur. To avoid it he must evolve some plan to ‘“re- tire” a greater or less proportion of the crop from the markets. Hence they are bought up *‘in the field”’—and, if our officials are not careful, many of them will rot in the field. ‘We believe that the great majority of our farmers are loyal to the core. We do not believe they will connive at a practice that tends to both waste and extortion. Loyal farmers, it is up to yoiwr to see that the purchaser of your crops =provided you have sold any ‘“in the field”—moves these crops at the proper time. In case they are not so moved, and loss or even waste is threatened, it is your sacred duty as a loyal citizen to notify the authori- ties in charge of the food situation at Washington, ahd you should do this while there is yet time to save the crop. Our sons and brothers in France are going to need every ounce of our produce that we can send them. Let us see that none of if goes to waste through the ‘“‘carelessness” of these speculators. I ' RAKO, PERSONIFICATION OF LOYALTY Few were aware that A. E. Rako, who acted as chairman of the big . Loyalty meeting at the Grand theater Friday evening was a native born German. It is a fact, however. Mr. Rako {8 one of the most successful farmers in this part of the state. He is chairman of the board of county commissioners and is one of thie most ardent boosters for-better education for children of the farms. He is for anything of value to his vicinity or BemidfT and its community. He deplores the conflict of his native coun- try and the fate of its people and for them his heart goes out, but he openly avows that the autocratic rule of Prussianism is entirely wrong. Honesty with others, honesty with himself—that’s what has made one of the best citizens Bemidji Township ever had. J DON'T FORGET THE ROADS It may be thdt we will strike a discordant note, with the many other matters now claiming public attention, but even so we wish to scund a. warning against the neglect of the public roads. Good roads were never more urgently needed than now. With the nation straining every nerve in the task of production, to neglect our highways would be, to put it mildly, very poor economy. We should see that all roads are put in the best possible condition before the winter rains set in. The question of marketing is one of the greatest that confront us, and poor roads will mean loss—Iloss that we can not afford at this time. WE RECOMMEND THE BEMIDJI WAY Soldiers stationed in Duluth cleaned onut an I. W.

If theseproblem, were received by the navy “wise heads” wowld only screw up their patriotism to the point of enlist- ing in the navy we might see some appreciable results. But they won’t! The mgtrimomal‘slncker probably prefers to encounter the ills he knows than fly to those he knows not of. If Kaiser Bill doesn't-‘‘get a wiggle on” that breakfast he had pre- pared in Paris will be getting cold. Considering his sightless condition, the blind tiger has remarkable success in eluding the hunters. —_— 5 l Rebuke To Disloyal Citizens Too Tame | Editor Pioneer: The .patriotic Every disloyal word and act helps meeting here the other night was|the kaiser to beat us.” His tools and supposed to be a rebuke to the dis-|agents are everywhere.
