Potatoes, of 1o, spot to grow them than right here, also came home with the potatoes, showing that little old Beltrami and' her farmers are not behind in the potato growing business. Seems to be an impression in some parts that Beltrami county is a sort of uncivilized spot in Minnesota. Now they’ll wake up to what Beltrami really is and what sort of pro- gressive peoples are its inhabitants. —_— ————— * THE LOAN DIGNIFIED. Mr. McAdoo is reported to be seeking the aid of the churches in boosting the Fourth Liberty Loan. This is com- mendable. .In the last Liberty Loan the country was regaled by speeches of two well-known movie stars, who travled to- gether and spoke for liberty. Each one of them was reported 1o be involved in a suit-for divorce in which each was named co-respondent of the other in the proceedings. (Had they been raising funds for license instead of for liberty the public would have considered it more appropriate. It was not a very dig- nified proceeding. . v - _This is a holy war, not a chorus of Aristophanes, and no better ‘agency .could be selected to help raise the funds for carrying it on than the churches, which are shouting the battle cry of freedom. Nor is it likely that our pastors will mix politics’ with their exhortations, as was reported to have been done by some of the_four-minute-men in proceeding loans, The people should listen attentively to their pastors, and if any hireling of a political party gives preference to party politics and slights the plea to buy bonds, kick him off the being wheedled. 3 0 BREAKFAST BACON. ' Up to March, 1914, millions.took a fatalist’s view of hog- cholera. The annual loss was staggering, but we didn’t think of preventing it. Then the agricultural department went after it. The loss in 1914 was estimated at about 7,000,000 animals. In March, 1918 it was around 3,000,000. The former figure represents the total consumption throughout the country for 87 days; the latter for 16 days. In two or three years at this rate the loss will be negligible, if not zero. Carry this kind of crusade against all the microbes, grubs, bugs and bacilli that rob us of foodstuffs, and Old Man H. C. of L. will be looking for a place to hide. ik 0 FAIR ENOUGH. . ‘After a flood of criticisms and complaints had poured into . the offices of the railroad administration, Director General McAdoo issued a public statement.in which he said that “criticisms and suggestions will be extremely helpful.” He is probably making a necessity his choice. However that may be, the public will watch with interest to see whether complaints concerning railway service are any more effective than complaints of mail service. 0. SALT SOME WHILE SALTING IS GOOD. Wage earners are just now reaping a rich harvest. It remains for them to determine whether they will spend their earnings as they go or put a large portion away in the form of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps so that in future years they may have an income in the form of interest—an income in addition to that received for daily toil. i R B i ‘It would seem to be about time for some law violators to be subdued hereabouts. They violate the laws, are arrested, held on strong proof and returned to continue to violate the law. Toleration is ceasing to be a virtue it would seem. Clean the disloyalists out. TIPTS5t We learn that the kaiser has called an imperial council to consider plans for the future. We don’t blame him for dis- liking to think about the present. l BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER | AMERICANS ASKED TO i e e | Must Use/N*o More Than Two Pounds Stocks Will Be Short Until Beginning of New | Two pounds of sugar a moyth——ha}( reduction.
