We have plenty of them, but unfortunately there are many ofethem that are not available for pork, although they are constantly engaged in accumul- ating that article. Neither are they classed among the tribe of hogs proper, for which if the other hogs could think they would doubtless give thanks. This useless breed of hogs are like Kipling’s bear that ‘‘walked like a man.” And it is about the only manly attribute that one can detect in them, because even this accomplishment is utilized for actions that would shame any self-respecting hog that is compelled to go on four feet. :3 It is a favorite practice of this hog, since the food regulations went § into effect, to put all his hoggish intellect to work on schémes to outwit s the authorities. When sugar is limited to 25 cents worth to a’customer, ; he will visit stores into which he never before set foot in search of sugar, intent only on laying in a supply for his hoggish wants, even though others may go without. He is the same fellow who raises Cain with his grocer for refusing to ;; sell him all the flour he wants, and abuses the hotel and restaurant men ‘Z for refusing to serve him meat or light bread on meatless and wheatless i days. £ When the food administration goes after the CONSUMER and com- 2 pels him to obey the letter and spirit of the law—which must come if we i are to succeed in the task we have set ourselves—this particular breed of hog is going to have hard sledding. Speed that day. —_————— “SOME DAY” Some day, you unmarried person—who had a net income of $1,000 or over for the year 1917 and failed to file an income tax return before April fi ; 1, 1918—will be called upon to pay the penalties provided by law. It may s, not be tomorrow, next week, next month, and possibly not this year, but— E some day. Some day, you married person—who had a net income of $2,000 or over for the year 1917 and failed to comply with the laws of your country —will be called upon to answer as to why you did not obey the law. Some day, you person—who thought you could avoid, paying a few cents or dollars—will have cause to regret your action. Some day, perhaps—after you have passed” away—those who were dear to you and to whom you have left your property, will be, called ypon to pay the debt you failed to pay. - ! i l Some day, before April 1, 1918, perhaps you will have filed your re- £ turn. If you have not, rest assured that you will—some day. R ‘ WHEREIN BEMIDJI AGAIN MAKES GOOD There’s a considerable source of satisfaction in some phases of the awarding of the contracts for Bemidji’s new Normal, chief among which is that of the bid of LaG. Worthington, manager of of the Bemidji busi- ness of the Minnesota Electric ITight and Power company, for the electrical work. A One naturally considers that on a structure the magnitude and im- port of the new Normal only the more pretentious contractors and con- struction firms participate in the bidding, but right here in Bemidji the youthful manager of the Minnesota Light company’s office went after the job of doing the work and won out over a number of big metropolitan con- |’ tractors, firms and electrical concerns that make a specialty of just such 3 work. Merely another instance of demonstrating what can be accomplished by being awake——that’s Bemidji. S, S PITY THE POOR EXPRESS COMPANIES A dispatch from Washington yesterday stated that the express com- i have to come to their support. ° It was before the parcel post went into effect that the express com- of the chief arguments for the inauguration of the parcel post, which has saved the people of the country an enormous amount. Before it came into being the express companies charged outrageous prices, and got their bumps good and proper when the parcel post came out. Now the holler is heard about losing money and the taxpayers of the country will" no doubt be called upon to spend their scanty savings to hold up. this mon- opoly, also. It's a great game, sure 'nuff. IF THE FARMFRS CAN'T ORGANIZE, WHY? It would seem as if the farmers have the right to organize as much as the packers, the food controllers and the profiteers. When they read of things like what the military probe committee of the senate discovered, the Hog Island ship yard bonanza for junk dealers, etc., and where Sec- retary of War Baker's brother was discovered to he a stockholder in a new aeroplane factory with a million dollar government contract, it is small wonder that the farmers wonder. They have a limit of $2 per bushel set upon their wheat, with south- ern cotton unrestricted to 35 cents per pound, when six, eight and 12 cents was paid not so long ago. A year and a half ago it jumped from about 12 cents the previous year to 22 cents and has merrily kept on going. BURNQUIST WORTH CARLOAD OF FRAZIERS ‘At the convention of the Nonpartisan league in St. Paul, Governor Frazier of North Dakota spoke Wednesday, during which he attacked the state administration of Minnesota. In attacking the state administra- tion, the governor of North Dakota attacked the intelligence of the large majority of the state who selected the present officials of the state. Fra- zier’s blatent mouthings have been heard in North Dakota and they seem to like it over there in the bailiwick of Townley et al, but in comparison, Governor Burnquist is worth a carload of Fraziers and his ilk. And we s believe Burnquist can tell Frazier some things that would make the North b 2 L Dakotan’s head ache. e e : 2 e o Remember, Tuesday, “Meatless Day”; Wednesday, “Wheatless Day.” Entered at the postoftice at Bemidji, Minn., as second-class matter | Every movem’em /muéi have a be- ginning, but the .sug¢ess of some is so nearly instantaneous ‘that we scarcé- ly realize a -small, beginning could have been recorded, Al civic reforms have small beginnings, to use a phrase sanctioned by custom.

This, is not dissertation on “hoss racin’ ” but has to do with the earliest known form of FIRE'PROOF HOME. The CLIFF DWELLERS chose the faces of Sheer Cliffs void of timber and there in a lucky, crevasse they carved their abode far above and away from the FEAR OF THE FORBST FIRES—the prowl of the beast and the “TARZANS” of the woods.
