A MOST IMPORTANT MEETING October 8 and 9, and it will be one of the most important meetings ever held in Northern Minnesota. The object is to promote the raising of sheep in this part of the state and why it is this late in the day is almost a mystery. Why the farmers of northern Minnesota haven’t long ago awakened to the value of raising There’s going to be a sheep or wool growers’ meeting in Bemidji || sheep on their land and the undeveloped acres is also a mystery. Northern Minnesota is the ideal spot for the sheep industry. There couldn’t possibly be a better spot to develop the raising of sheep and sell- ing of wool, both of whjch are extremely profitable. There are thousands of acres of the best sheep lands out doors lying idle in Northern Minnesota when they could be turned into a handsome profit. Other portions of the United States, not so well adapted, are dotted with large and small flocks of sheep, but Northern Minnesota, the ideal place for sheep raising, has few. Experts will be present to tell of what it all means. It is a big move- ment and an important one. It is for the benefit of the farmer and the land owner and no one with an acre of land should fail to be present. TOWNLEY THINKS HE'S WORTH $250,000 And now Townley, head of the Non-Partisan league (get that “Non- Partisan” business?) has served notice upon the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch that unless those newspapers retract what they have said about him he will sue them for $250,000 for damages to his reputation, ete., etc., and also to the league, anent that disloyalty meeting in- St. Paul. We could imagine what the Pioneer Press and Dispatch would do the moment we received a wire on Townley’s action, and they did just what we knew they would. Any old time a newspaper with an ounce of red blood back of it lays down, rolls over and plays dead for anything it could say about the spon- sors of that assassinator of patriotism, LaFollette, when he unloosened his tirade of treason at the government at the so-called “Non-Partisan’” meet- ing in St. Paul, it will be when the German Kaiser is the guest of Presi- dent Wilson at a White House dinner, and before the Pioneer Press and Dispatch part with that $250,000 Townley will have his hide hung on the fence one layer at a time, or we'll miss our guess. What's needed in Minnesota at this time is more Pioneer Presses and Dispatches. They are to be congratulated upon being sued for LIBEL by Townley-LaFollette & Co. - COMMERCIAL FISHING GOOD IDEA The state fish and game department has been authorized by the Min- nesota Public Safety commission to use the fish in Red Lake for commer- cial purpeses and the idea is an excellent one. It is said that the fish in Red Lake die of old age, although that is a little stretched, for the reasen the fich are not caught. There are hundreds and thousands of tons of hic fish in Red Lake which are excellent for food purposes and to market people of Minnecota. . At this time. when the cost of living is soaring, it is only proper that the state authorities use the resources of the state for the benefit of its people, so leng as it does not damage the interests of the commonwealth. The lakes whercon are located summer resorts will not be affected. No summer enterprice will be injured in the least. The new plan affects Red Lake only and will be a benefit to the fiishing in that lake in the future. A friend of the Pioneer brings to the office a paper containing an article reiatine to felee stories, cne relating to the Red Cross in the town of Morrison, Ill, which had it that a member of the local Red Cross Chap- ter sent a pair of knitted socks with her name and address on the inside. It is srid che received a replv from a laborer and not a soldier who said he had purchased the socks in Chicago. Such stories are unworthy of credence and why they should be given space in newspapers is beyond gumprehcnsion as it only casts aspersions on the splendid work of the Red TOSS. \ Congressman Heflin wants a committee appointed so he can get after certain congressmen and Senator LaFollette to ascertain if there’s any connection with their unpatriotic utterances and the kaiser’s slush fund. Heflin is too modest. According to a dispatch, we note where the food administration will recommend the reduction in the price of bread, although it has no power to make the reduction. It’s up to the bakers now to show their colors. them at a l~w price, such as in contemplated, would be a great boon to the There are several flags in the business district which are somewhat worse for having been left floating continually. A few new ones would »add to the appearance of the district. . »a~ READ THE PIONEER WANT ADS THE BEMID)1 ULILY PAWNEER ‘Fli.iLDAY. SEPTEMBER ' 28, 1917, | Bemidji, Minn. . " | Bemidji, Minn.
