Deterson of the Baker Jewelry store had a har- rowing experience during the recent forest fires, for with the approach of the flames they entered tneir auto and drove from their farm home two and one-half miles to a lake, drove the car into the water and awaited the result. The flames roared all around them and they watched the terrible path of the roaring blaze which hurled dense clouds. of smoke skyward. For hours they stayed in the lake and as the fAames continued their onward sweep they ventured to return to their home. The house was still standing and so was the big barn, practically every thing else on the place being swept, including the granary and crops. Sntering the house the Peterson’s were surprised to discover two small children suffering from severe burns. They had fled from the flames and had sought refuge in the house still standing. The children were given *‘“k . prompt atlen.tion.

The importance” of this event is better understood when it-is stated that this will be the first time in the history of the organization that it ever held a convention outside of its central zone of counties, which comprises tthe entire northwest sec- tion of the state, Beltrami county being the eastern boundary, with Wadena - county = as". the “southern limit. Another vital factor to be reconed with is that at the meeting last year there were about 750 members of the association present, and fully as many ass are expected to be in Bemidji. It is up to the business men to provide a suitable meeting place and entertainment for the dairymen, and the affair should be given every co- operation.

Only two days are left in which to reach this vast sum. - No ¢ountry on earth except America could raise so vast a sum in so short a time. America can do it and must do it. The destinies of the world and the hopes of civilization are centered upon America. We shall fail in everything we have fought for and hope to gain in this war if the Fourth Liberty Loan is defeated: Every true American citizen today examine himself under the white light of patriotism and say whether or not he has done his utmost in this emergency. The highest obligations.of duty .and patriotism comman# €very true American to. go.im« mediately to his Liberty Loan committee and subscribe to the limit of his ability to the Fourth Liberty bonds. Don’t wait to be urged; be as quick to do your part in this Fourth Liberty Loan battle as our soldiers in France are quick to obey the order to charge the enemy. Buy Liberty Bonds on the installment plan, if you cannot buy them for cash. Every patriotic bank will help you. If every patriotic citizen will do his duty today, victory for the Fourth Liberty Loan is certain., Continued victories of our armies in Europe, the certain defeat of our.enemies and the glorious triumph of the cause of liberty depend upon what we, the American people, do in the remaining two days of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. W. G. McADOO. DELINOUENTS ON LOAN RECEIVING NOTICES TO EXPLAIN THEIR ACTION The following letter has been sent out of some of those alloted quotas for the fourth liberty loan, they having failed, for some un- known reason, to conform to the regulations for the conduct of the loan now in progress. The letter is self explanatory and the com- mittee regrets that even one such letter should have to be sent, but they are not many: Dear Sir:—You have been allot- ted the sum of $—as your fair and just allottment for the fourth Ii- berty loan of the United States of America. Thus far you have failed to sub- scribe for such allottment, and the same has not been reduced by the board of appeal of this county. Judge C. W. Stanton, of the Dis- triet cotrt of this county, is the Chairman of the board of appeal, and may be found at Chambers in the Court House at Bemidji any time on Monday, October 21, after 10:00 o’clock, A. M.

I am assuming that your neglect it has been due to oversight on your | part, and this letter is not intended ias a reflection upon your loyalty to | your country. I trust that you will | give it your prompt attention, to the "end that you do not make it neces- of appeal, is made and completed on| sary that proceedings be taken which will cast such reflection upon you. & Yours truly, W.

BEMIDJI HOMES ARE GIVING UP CLOTHING TO RELIEVE DISTRESS Today found milady ransacking re- cesses in her home in search of articles of clothing that are wear- able and serviceable and which had been laid aside to be replaced with “something newer,” the articles be- ing resurrected for relieving the stricken survivors of the forest fires. The response in Bemidji for warm clothing for adults and children is meeting a ready, spirited response and a large quantity is being taken to the Red Cross salvage headquar- ters, 117 Third street, where they will be made ready for shipment to state headquarters to be sent to the fire sufferers. Shoes are urgently needed, also, and so is underwear, serviceable for winter. Children’s wearing apparel is greatly desired and in fact anything that will be suitable for wearing apparel. Noth- ing of a worthless nature is desired. As they were before the fire, the fam- ilies now destitute were amply able to take good care of themselves, but the sweep of the flames took every- thing they possessed and immediate relief is urgent until they can again get straightened around and in posi- tion to help themselves. Any one in Bemidji who can help should lose no time and take their donations to salvage headquarters, either today or tomorrow, and they will be packed for shipment as soon s posgible, Hlp Your Country Win PIONEER' FIREFUND REACHES OVER $800 THMORECOMING FOR THE DESTITUTE o IT’S NOT THE AMOUNT YOU GIVE, IT'S THE SPIRIT Noticeable to a marked degree is the support being given to the forest fire victims in Bemidji by the wage earners and the salaried | ‘man, and those who are obliged to hew closely to the line to make both ends meet. It is not the amount contributed that eviden- ces the spirit of humanity and sympathty for tthe unfortunate, it is the desire to extend a wel- rome hand to the helpless in their hour of dire distress. Some of those in position in Bemidji have made generous con- tributions, they, too, showing the right spirit. There are many others who could help greatly by following their example. The stricken peoples of the fire swept district are of us. They dre of Minnesota. The hand of mercy, not charity, should be ex- tended. The pitiable plight of the children orphaned and destitute from the ter- rible forest fires whicn swept north- eastern Minnesota Saturday and Sun- day, is exciting the sympathy of the children of Bemidji and they are contributing of their savings to The Pioneer Fire Fund. The little folks are doing their bit in a spirit that is most commendable and shows that Bemidji's youngsters are of the right sort, Fund Is Inoreasing. The fund has reached over $800 and is still climbing., The Pioneer m yesterday turned over to Rev. L., P.{ Warford, chairman of the Beltrami county Red Cross chapter, $450, and has another generous sum to also turn over to him for forwarding to headquarters to be used to aid the sulferers. Among the donors yesterday was W. C. Ryan, attired as a workman, who modestly came into the Pioneer ffice and handed over $2.50. He was reluctant to give his name but ‘nsistance brought forth his identity. “Where are you from” was the query, Shows His Snirit. “Anywhere,” was the reply. “That is,”” he explained, “I came here from Michigan. I have seen forest fires but nothing like this one. 1 have been wondering if they need any more help up there. 1 didn't hear of it until it was about over. Yes, I'm from Bemidji now and intend to stay here,”” and with a smile he de- parted. C. W. Brown of Shilling, Minn., happened to be in Bemidji and.heard of a fund being raised by the Red Cross. He learned the identity of| President Warford and went to his home, handing over a dollar to help. Mable Normand Helns, It will also be noted in the iist today whére Mabie Normand helped her bit. This is not the famous|® sereen actress, but a helpful Miss from Bemidji. P. R. Peterson contributed his mite and apologetically explained: “One of the best friends I have lived at Moose Lake. He will need help and I will help him all 1 can, but vill also do what T can for the fund you are“securing.” And go it goes in the heart inter- est side lights on ,the manner in which Bemidji is aiding in the relief of the hapless people, vietims of the most terrible holocaust in the history of the state, Additional Contributors, Adaditional contributors to The Pioneer Fire Relief Fund are: Previously revorted........ $450.00 Otto Brose ............... 1.00 Bemidii Sentinel 10.00 Mrs. Eli Arnold 1.00 J.H.
