THE WAR Have you ever stopped to think that while other. cities, towns and villages are experiencing “war times,” supposedly to be hard times, that Bemidji is sailing .under a full head of ‘steam and-that she has much to be thankful for? Have you ever thought how she has been progressing the past year, when other cities were standing still? Fortunate Bemld,u. Fortun-' ate people.

Ibertson early this year completed another two story brick business building, replacing the one of frame. It, too, is another ornament to the city’s business. firmanfent. b And there are plans being-drawn for still other business district improvements, not ready as yet to be made publiec. Added to all this, the completion. of the new $250,000 Crookston sawmill, the coming of the Short Turn Tractor.plant, ‘which is saying htt]e but hard at work, the proposed spending of $20,000 by the Standard Oil company for a new storage plant, and the many other projects “in the air,” Bemidji is con- tinuing her pace of progress. Bemidji has every reason to be thankful. —0 : CLOSE CO-OPERATION-1S ‘NECESSARY Thre should be special efforts in every community of the country this season looking to closer co-operation in the drive for food production. American farmers, live stock breeders-and truckers should abandon the old hit-or-miss.custem-of operating «very man for himself, get together, discuss the question of production with intelligence, and all pull together -for a com- mon object. The needs of the community should be developed and provided for. Where it is clearly seen that any particular crop must be increased or resort to shipping in from .other points, this crop should be promptly speeded up. This is im- perative if we are to comply with the government’s xrequest to- draw as lightly as possible on transportation facilities. The govex:nment has urgent need . for . every. avanlable freight ‘car in the country. If the farmers of the various com- munities can provide for the annual needs of their respective centers, this will help greatly in releasing:cars for-government needs. Each community should also-develop-a fairly accurate estimate of the probable amount of any supplies.it will have for export. The communities that attend.to these.matters will be the wide-awake centers, and will profit largely by their care.| - Sy CLAMP THE HOG LID ON-ENTIRE CITY 'When the proposed ‘‘hog-ordinance” came up in the city council for its.second reading Monday night, the ordinance promptly went ‘“on the hog,” for the very simple reason that property owners in every part of the city protested that their. homes were left outside the charmed circle. - And the result was the ordinance was halted to allow a committee.of aldermen-and the city physician to look further info the probleni and pre- scribe a barred zone more acceptable.’ It seems to us that-we could settle it all in about thirty seconds. We believe that Bemidji is no longer a country vil- lage and hogs should not be permittedito be kept inside' the city limits. Raising hogs inside a city seems a little out of place. —0 WHY NOT PENALIZE THE OFFENDERS? Just why it is that some persons take occasion-to throw rubbish of every conceiveable description on the lake shore is beyond our comprehension. To see:a lot of tin cans and other refuse of an unsightly nature littered about on the lake front is an eyesore that is not to be condoned nor overlooked. There is a certain class of people who don’t.care a con- tinental how their lake front appears nor their home city. They are either ignorant or have not the slightest interest of their home city at heart. It would seem that there.should be a penalty attached to an offense of this nature. It is senseless, unsightly and a detri- ment to the city in general. § tration desires to secure better udjust- ment:in: food ‘balanc<a. continue. the only--special- restrictions we ask are the beefless and pcrkless Tuesday.

Of more imme- diate importance, however, are several complex -factors~which have “effected an immediate /increase in: meat. sup- The- transportation-shortage 'before the government took over -the rail- roads, the.bad weather in.January and early in February, the large percent- age of immature corn in the last har- vest and the necessity.of.feeding this corn as rapldly as possible to save..it from -decay, have not only resulted.in backing ;up .the .animals-—particularly hogs—on the farms:for a longer pe- riod of feeding;sbut-have resulted in a great increase-in-their-average weight and will result, with improved. trans- poftation conditions, which-already ap- pear, in larger than normal arrivals at market.-for the mext :two -or three months.- - The: wetght-of hogs coming to tlie. market for-the past:two weeks indicates “an- ‘increase in weight of from_ an average' -of 203 -pounds last year - to the -almost unprecedented average of 232 pounds, or a net in- crease In their meat value of over 15 per cent.
