CHANCE FOR BEMIDJI TEACHERS Prizes aggregating $300 are being offered to teachers in the public schools of Minnesota for the best essay on the subject “Why the United States is At War.” The money for the payment of these prizes has been contributed by a public spirited citizen of the state, who desires his name " to remain unknown. The contest is to be conducted by the National Board of Historical Service, a volunteer organization of historical scholars established at the time of our entrance into the war, with headquarters at Washington. This organization has arranged for a similar contest in a number of other states, and the winners of prizes in each state will be entered in a national con- test for additional prizes. A circular containing details of the contest and suggestions as to how material may be obtained, has been received at this office. Anyone in- . terested in this contest can secure a copy of this circular by writing to Professor Solon J. Buck, superintendent, Minnesota Historical society, St. Paul, who has charge of the contest for the national board. The es- says, which must all be in by January 1, 1918, are to be judged by com- mittees of prominent citizens of the state, whose names will be announced in the near future, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—GONVICK This, ladies and gentlemen, is Gonvick. Gonvick is in Clearwater county. Gonvick has about 300 inhabitants when they are all home and they have no apology to offer for Gonvick. Tuesday was “‘Bemidji Day” at the Red Lake Indian agency fair. There was a baseball game scheduled between the crack Red Lake team and Gonvick's nine. Gonvick had no regularly organized team but it scraped around and put one together. Anything desired of Gonvick, ask for it. Gonvick’s baseball team went to Red Lake and was beaten 6 to 2, but they made the “tamarack inhabitants” as one Gonvick rooter termed them, hustle. It was a good game and it was interesting. The lads rep- resenting Gonvick took their beating like sportsmen. When the Gonvick team went to the fair on ‘“Bemidji Day,” the qo|3. vick ‘Automobile club went also. So did a large number of it people. And they took along the Gonvick band and it is & good band. And when the last baseball player was out and Red ‘Lake had won the game the Gonvick band stood on the diamond and played for the winners. Again—Gonvick. IMPROVE THE CITY BUILDING The city building needs an overhauling and there isn’t the slightest doubt about it. Business men, merchants and all citizens who have been inside the structure are agreed that it is sadly dilapidated in many ways, ill arranged for its purposes and its roof leaks and the interior is such that when the Northern Minnesota Development association met here the busi- ness men of the city were ashamed for what they had to offer as a meet- ing place. To build a new city building of brick and stone, such as has been discussed in the past, is out of all reason at present. But with a thorough overhauling of the present structure, rearrangement as it should be and made attractive outside the building will be a credit to the city, and only , $5,000 is needed to make it useful f or many years to come. The council is asking the people of Bemidji for that small sum to en- able it to provide the city with a city building in keeping with Bemidji today and not of years ago. One of the signs of the time is the change in the name of East Ger- mantown, Ind. That village, eettled more than 100 years ago by Penn- sylvania Dutch, has always been satisfied with its name until recently. Now it announces its intention of being known hereastef as Pershing. Love your neighbor as yourself, and then you won’t have to lie about him when he is dead. Crowned heads are a world nuisance, but they often come in handy in a card game. Every man tells the truth once in a while, but to some of them it is an awful shock. Some men are like a bass drum; they are good for nothing but to make a big noise. »a~ READ THE PIONEER WANT ADS CLASSIFIED FOR SALE FOR SALE—Ford touring car in first class condition. Call on C. W.
