BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER TELEPHRONE 922 Entered at the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn, as second-class matter under act of Congress of March $,11879. | No attention paid to annonymous contributions. ‘Writer's najue must ‘be known ' to o editor, ‘but not necessarily for publication. Communications for the Weekl‘y Pioneer must ‘reach this office not later than Tuesday of each week to insure publication in the ourrent issue, § * THE WEEKLY FIONBER B !flmmhmwlnmolmnmo!thuvm- Published | every Thursdsy and sent postage paid to any address, for, in advance §1.50 é % OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEDINGS WHAT ‘ARE YOU SACRIFICING? * ‘A more ‘appropriate name than “Liberty Bond” could scarcely be thought of for the funds that have been and are be- ing raised by the saile of government bonds for the purpose ‘of prosecuting the war. It isnot a gift that the government is so- liciing when asking for contributions to the Third Liberty Loan, but a safe investment at about the same rate of dividend that - is returned by other safe investments. ; ] The government asks merely for the use of some of our money—for the use of it in the greatest cause with which the world has ever been confronted—that of Liberty. Hence the name of Liberty Loan is not.only appr(;priate,» but in itself it is an appeal that no loyal American should at- tempt to resist. : The bonds will pay 4 1-4 per cent, and it is as certain as that || the sun will rise tomorrow that the dividends will be paid. Billions of dollars of worthless “securities” litter the desks and in tin boxes of the country because their purchasers were not satisfied with sure investments and moderate returns. Those who stay at home may be put:to some inconvenience. and to the practice of unusual economies in order that they may buy the bonds—make a safe investment. But hundreds of thousands of the-best young men are giving their time and their. lives, if need be, that Liberty may live and that our country may not be the spoil and our women the victims of the Hun | hordes, as were those of Belgium and Northern France, Serbia, Rumania and Russia. OVERMAN’S OVERSIGHT. Because the -Associated Press sent out some erroneous information it had received from official sources, and because Col. Roosevelt made some comments on the assumption. that such information was correct, Senator Overman, chairman of the Judiciary committee, wanted both the Colonel -and - the’ Associated Press to make public apology. His fury was almost without bounds in' denouncing the error. had been called to their attention. As a loyal Democrat, Sena- tor Overman cannot’see any motes:in the eys of:the agents of’.' his own party, but he throws a fit when some Republican makes an inconsequential error without the slightest ill intent. - Some day North Carolina will have the good sense to send a breader . man to represent her in the Senate. : THE KATY-DIDN'TS. In response-to vigorous protests against large numbers of able bodied men of draft age being kept at desk jobs in Wash- ington, the -administration announced that it would remove most of these men from their bomb-proof jobs. Later announce- ments indicate that the men will net be sent ‘“‘over-there” but will be transferred to other positions here in the United Staes, '§ The-complaint 1l though farther from the seat of government: was based upon the fact that many of these men were doing work which women and girls could :do-as -well. - Whether they will be transferred.to other jobs of ‘similar character, remains |8 to be seen. PLANT SEEDS AND RAISE BULLETS. Plant seeds and grow bullets. Impossible, you say? is ample supplies of food. The need of the allied nations is food. Without it'the war would prove a failure, it matters not how many bullets we mold and send across. fight this war to a finish. RAISE SOMETHING TO EAT. NO SOFT DRINK LICENSES FOR ALIENS. The Duluth city council has the right idea. Several appli- cations for licenses to conduct soft drink parlors were present- ed by aliens and the city council promptly “stepped on’’ them. These applicants-have-been residents of the United States for years, some ten or twelve, yet have not even taken out first papers toward becoming citizens. Duluth should stick to that rule hard and fast and other Minnesota cities should emulate the example. Mr. Hoover suspended the meatless day program, and the meat barons at once tacked 2 1-2 cents to the price. Perhaps they figured that we had a tidy nest-egg saved during the period of abstinance. There isn’t much gets by the packers. Cole Blease of South Carolina.announces that he will be.a candidate for the United States Senate. Probably figures on a fuel shortage next winter and calculates he could raise the tem- perature at Washington. : 5 “The name American’ which belongs to ‘you in your Na- tional capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism.” —George Washington. Help The Liberty Bell to'ring out the glad tidings of this country’s over-subscription. ; Better feed the boys over there now if we don’t want to feed the Germans, lat_er on. . “Czernin lied,” said Clemenceau. Truly, brevity is the soul of wit. But he had not one || word to say about the Creel bureau apologizing for deliberately gending out grossly misleading statements concerning aireraft | construction, after the misleading character of those statements. Not |8 at all. The great need of the allied forces on the front today |58 Food and more | food is the cry, and with it we will make effective the bullets | Hungry soldiers can have no heart for fighting, and ours must |. ~_ William Fox Presents .
