Comes to us a small folio captioned “The Liberty Bell,” devoted to the interests of the Third Liberty Loan. campaign. It is chock full of Liberty Loan’stories and bits of gossip, also. well illustrated. The editor of the Liberty Bell is Charles F. Stuert, a newspaperman of 15 years experience, who returned to the; “harness” after a year’s ces- sation .in -another line, being “drafted” to promote the publicity of the loan in ‘Minnesota. In his letter to-the Pioneer, asking co-operation for the work ahead, he apologizes for knowing:the editor’s desk in a newspaper office is piled high these days with a lot of miscellaneoys junk, calculated to strike ter- ror 1iitd the hearts of -the Huns, and modestly asks the newspapermen to help. him make a success of the big drive, even stating that suggestions would be appreciated. ? Gosh! ~ A"REAL newspaperman selected for promoting. the publicity of a government campaign. Somebody on high must have grabbed him when he was sound asleep. When an editor that’s been *through the mill,” gets.such gobs of publicity as is- generally handed out he feels ke going across the street and getting a drink. But Stuart—we’re “for’” him. Shoot the stuff, C. F. SRR SRE S THE WATER QUESTION CONFRONTING. BEMIDJI There's got to be something done as regards an adequate and suitable water supply for Bemidji. The question is not open to argument so far as the supply of water is concerned, and care must be takep in providing the best means to secure a proper water supply for the people of Bemidjt, the business interests and the large ,improvements soon ‘to come and the natural growth of the city incident. It is no time for splitting hairs. If there are any who have any ideas as‘to what should be done the time to make it known is right now. All possible co-operation is heartily welcome and is invited by the city authorities, e POERERTS AT = NEW AUTOMOBILE CLUB LOOKS LIKE A WINNER The organization of an automobile club in Bemidji looks like a win- ner with that set of officers elected yesterday at the first meeting -of the: membership, which is about 60 at present. There is no good reason why Bemidji cannot have :an auto club the equal of any in the state, except, perhaps, numerically. An auto club of the right sort is one of the best boosting and.advertising. mediums. a live city can have and there is every reason -to believe the newly reorganized auto club of Bemidji will become widely known and prove a big asset for Bemidji. _———— COMMITTEE TO LOOK AFTER BEMIDJI'S INTERESTS At the noon day meeting of t}le Commercial club yesterday a com- ‘mittee was named to look after Bemidji's interests so far as the state legis- lative action is concerned. The committee consists of J.7J. Opsahl, County Attorney Torrance and City Assessor J. P. Lahr, every one peculiarly qualified for the committee to which they llavf: been named.

It can be grown on almost any well- drained soil, but will do best on a deep sandy loam. There is lttle pos- sibility of having the ground too rich, and liberal applications of part- ly rotted barnyard manure should be made before the plants are set. The seeds of asparagus may be sown dur- ing the spring in the rows where the plants are to remain, and the seed- lings thinned to stand 14 inches apart in the rows. It is usually more satisfactory to purchase two-year-old roots, as con- siderable time is saved in this way. As the asparagus bed is a permanent feature of the garden, it should be located accordingly. Before setting the plants the soil should be loosen- ed very deeply, either by sub-soil plowing or by deep spading. It is a good plan to remove the topsoil and spade monure into the subsoil to a depth of 14 or 16 inches. The plants may be set in rows for horse culti- vation or in beds. If in rows they should be set 14 inches apart, with the rows 33 feet apart. If in beds, one foot apart each way is the prop- er distance to set the plants. In set- ting the plants the crowns should be covered 4 or 5 inches deep. In the North the plants should re- ceive a mulch of 4 or 5 inches of manure in winter.. In the South the mulch is not mnecessary, but the plants should receive a coat of ma- nure or an application of fertilizer, preferably in autumn. No shoots should be removed dur- ing the first year plants are set in the permanent bed, and the period of cutting ‘should be short during the second year.—U. S. Department of Agriculture.
