FACTIONS NOT NECESSARILY FATAL ‘We read and hear a great deal these days as to the influence of fac- tionalism in retarding the growth of a town. And while it is true that many towns are held back from a pronounced and gratifying growth by the factional fights within their confines, it is not always the case, nor 18 it inevitable. You have doubtless heard citizens of more than one town remark: “No use to start anything for this town; it divides on all questions and the factions start fighting each other, and as a consequence nothing is done.” This state of affairs is common to many towns. Factions do exist, and do fight each other. But still there is a way around of this if the citizens of the town can be brought to see things in their true light, and will all agree to use a little of the common sense with which Providence has endowed them. We must recognize the fact that there are factions in ALL towns. Nevertheless, not all towns permit these factional fights to retard their prosperity. The reason for this is that the citizens of these towns have the sense to realize th"clt prosperity for the town means prosperity for ALL IN the town. Let us take an example: A proposition is.up to secure some industry for your town. It is something that may possibly not DIRECTLY affect but a small proportion of the population. Possibly that small element may all belong to one of the warring factions. Is that any reason why the others should oppose it? Decidedly NOT. Every citizen who has the real prosperity of his town at heart will at once realize that a direct benefit to the town is an indirect benefit to himself; and, while doing all he can for the success of his own crowd, will not carry his efforts to the extent of depriving the town of a tangible asset. And therein lies the keynote to the success of many towns, regard- less of the fact that they are as badly divided into factions as others. They have the sense to see that when their town is deprived of a profitable in- dustry which it might have secured, NO ONE has an opportunity to bene- £t frem it. Had all agreed to pull together and secure it, then each could have had a fighting chance for the benefits. Briefly, the LIVE town does its scrapping AFTER they have secured what they go after, instead of before. The LIVE town realizes that ALL must work together to SECURE, but that the scrapping must be limited to the control. No doubt many of our readers are acquainted with just such towns. ‘While they are no strangers to factions, yet when anything is proposed that is plainly to the advantage of the community, the cohesion and co- operation is instantaneous. They have the good sense to know that they can't divide their loaf before they secure it, and that this first considera- tion of securing it demands undivided effort. And right here is a point we wish to stress, and one upon which too much emphasis can not possibly be placed: DON'T CARRY YOUR FAC- TIONAL SCRAPS TO THE EXTENT OF DOING YOUR TOWN AN INJURY OR DEPRIVING IT OF A BENEFIT. You would bitterly resent the charge of disloyalty to your town. Yet every time you knock it, every time your act deprives it of a benefit, just so often you ARE DISLOYAL. This principle will hold good in all things relating to the prosperity of the community. ¢ Get this kind of a spirit into your heart: ‘“We will all stand together for every possible benefit to our town. If theré MUST be a scrap, let it be over loaves and fishes ALREADY SECURED.” BOOST THE FAIR If there ever was a year in which the people of this county should lend their support to the Beltrami County Fair it is this one. The suc- cess of the 1917 fair will depend largely upon the co-operation, of not only the exhibitors,, but every citizen. Especially should the people of the city of Bemidji make it their business to get out to the fair. Yes, more, they should see to it that others attend. On Bemidji day, Thursday, Sep- jare about the same as they were last THE BEMIDYI ULLLY PIUAEER {HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STARS |0CCUPY SPACE the Bemidji high school 1916 foot- ball team, including Coach I. 0. Juv- rud and Dr. J. W. Diedrich, together with the names of the lineup. Under the section “Scholastic Notes” an item on the Bemidji team heads the list, the item being: ‘“The iBemldJl high school claims the lchampionship of Northwestern Min- nesota for 1916. Its goal line re- mained uncrossed until ' the final game with the strong Grand Rapids eleven, which Bemidji won, 20 to 7.” In the section on scholastic rec- ords the record of the team is also given, the Bemidji team havinz une of the best records in the countiry. The record as it appears in the item: Bemidji (Minn.) High School— 26—Park Rapids 0. 113—Blackduck 0. 36—Akeley 0. 14—Wadena 0. 76—Coleraine 0. 20—Grand Rapids 7. i The prospects for a high school football team at the beginnlng of school last year wkre bad, many of the old stars having graduated and some had quit scheol, or ‘gone else- where to attend. ose who ramair- ed were chiefly a rdw buneh of rook- ies with few experienced men from the previous season, heagéd by Cap- tain Claude Bailey. But therz was one great advantage the team had| that former teams did mnot have which made it possible for last year’s team to make a record. It had Dr. ‘‘Joe” Diedrich, former Uni- versity of Minnesota quarterback, to coach them. “Do¢” worked hard, Coach Juvrud worked hard and the boys worked and the result was success for the Bemidji high school. The prospects for this year’s team year, a little better, in fact, for most | of the team has had a season’s train- ing under Dr. Diedrich and in all probability the 1917 team will re- peat the sucecess of its predecessors. Those who are on the picture are as follows: Dr. J. W. Diedrich, I. 0. Juvrud, C. Bailey, captain; White, Warfield, Madson, Frank Phibbs, Tennstrum, Grey, captain-elect; Gainey, Opsahl, Palmer H. Lord, Fred Phibbs, Achenbach, Kittleson and Si- mons. HOME GUARD SUPPLIES AT SHAVITCH BROS. The official Home Guard United States shirts and shoes can be se- cured at Shavitch Bros.
