NOT YESTERDAY'S NEWS, BUT TODAY'S NEWS TODAY--BY THE GREAT UNITED PRESS + ) N\ . ‘George. . SAYS: _BEMIDJI DAILY PION VOLUME XV. NO. 207. BEMIDJI. MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 6, 1917, 'WORLD T0 KNOW OF BEMIDJI AND THE GREAT J. H, EXTRA! BOOSTERS NAMED Beltrami Co. President I{arnwell of Commercial Club Selects Committee to Prepare Publicity. BEMIDJI'S STORY WILL BE TOLD IN “J. H. DECLARATION” Page of Advertising and Page of Reading Matter Spread Broad- cast Every Month, That Bemidji is to receive its share of publicity in the Jefferson Highway Declaration, the official or- gan of the Jefferson Highway asso- ciation, is evidenced by a letter re- ceived from -Manager J. D. Clarkson addressed to County Auditor J. L. In his letter Mr. Clarkson “] want to thank you for the news clipping of August 24. The one -in reference to construction work on the Jefferson Highway will be used in the October issue of the Decalara- tion. The other two in reference to Birchmont and the golf tournament are also interesting and will be filed away for future reference and use after the publicity plan is put into ause. In my judgment, each one of these would form the basis of a gommunity story in the publicity plan.” World Will Know. In cgllllfiection with the publlcity \uan, Bemidji has taken a full page of display advertising in the Dec- Jaration each month for three years and will also receive gratis a page of news matter, all of which is to be sent from this city.

Koors. “PLANTO ORGANIZENEW LABOR PARTY IS NOT ABANDONED;” SPARGO (By United Press) Minneapolis, Sept. 6.—Despite the silence of Gompers, Spargo and oth- ers regarding the organization of a new Socialist party, it is known that ex-Socialists, Prohibitionists rogressives, negotiating from coali- tion party, believe an organization will soon be effected. Spargo denies that plans to organ- ize a new Labor party at the confer- ence is abandoned because of the opposition of Gompers, says Socialist activity apart from the labor meet- ing. RUSSIAN CIVILIANS TAKEN BY GERMANS; (By United Press) Petrograd, Sept. 6.—Thousands of Russian civilians, waiting too long before obeying orders to flee, were captured by the Germans who were invading Riga. Refugees who were among the last to leave carried this story here. GERMANY TO TELL POPE DURABLEPEACE WANTED (By United Press) Berlin, Sept. 6.—Germany will tell Pope Benedict that the German people want Ro gain from the war, but only a durable peace,’ guaran- teed by international treaties, ac- cording to an authoritative forecast published in “Vorwaerts.” The organ also ‘added Germany would hold, if her enemies refuse this sort of peace, that the fall of Riga is not to be the last success of German arms. _FRANCE SAYS GERMANY MUST DROGP MILITARY AMBITIONS FOR PEACE (By United Press) Fere Champenoise, France, 6.—France insists that Alsace-Lor- raine is not the subject for diplomatic discussion, declared Premier when speaking at a celebration on| the battlefield of Marne. “France's only claims are in character repara- tion,” he said.

Forty Five Per {RED LAKE INDIAN and | | Cent To Leave September 19 Sheriff Andrew Johnson received word today that the 5 per cent draft call is to be included with the 40 per cent call September 19. The reason why the five per cent call did not go from Bemidji is because the certified list from the district board did not reach the adjutant general’s office in time, is the explanation made. i It 18 known that the district boards are swamped with work and no one is really to blame for the delay. . The fact of the matter is that all boards are worked to capa- city. ‘Considering the magnitude of the project the plan is working won- derfully well and the public must bear with patience any seemingly unaccountable delays. WHEAT PRIZE WINNER AT BIG STATE FAIR| Speaking about the Minnesota state fair, now in progress, being the greatest in its history, etc., etc., guess Red Lake agency has every reason to sit straight up and give '’em the once over, for a Chippewa Indian from Red Lake just naturally entered some of his wheat against the state and walked off with fourth prize. And there was ‘“some’” wheat in that layout and Sheaf Wheat at -that and the competition was as keen as could possibly be. The winning by Mr. Mason shows what the Indians can do and the feat of winning against state com- petition will undoubtedly prove highly incentive to the Indians of the reservation and Superintendent Dickens is ~highly gratified. A REAL BULL STORY There is bull and then there is bull, and when the Pioneer stated repeatedly that it was the best advertising medium in this part of the state and de- livered the goods, there might have been some who believed the Pioneer was peddling a lit- tle bull. But there’s another chap at least who believes. the Pioneer is absolutely correct and that chap is 'George J. Becker, owner of Spring Lake farm, Solway, Minn. Mr. Becker has a penchant for fine cattle and he’s got ’em, too. He had a fine bull or so for sale and he spent a few cents in a classified ‘“‘for sale” ad in the Pioneer, letting the fact become known and—well, here’s what the Pioneer receiv- ed from Mr. Becker yesterday afternoon: Solway, Sept. 3, 1917. ... The Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidji, Minn. Dear Sir: Hey there, stcp my bull ad at once. The bulls are sold. The ad worked fast. It takes the Pioneer to sell the stuff. Thanks. Yours very truly, George J. Becker. Mr. Becker knew he had the goods. So did the people. Mr. Becker told the Pioneer and the Pioneer told the people. Read Mr. Becker’'s letter again.
