It gives an inspiration of in- dependence to everyone. The campaign, started the first of the year by the United States Department of Labor, through ‘the Division' of Public Works and Constructiron Development of its Information and Education Service, has obtained the support of many towns and cities which are developing originality and resoureefulness: in their methods of making community- drives. In one:place-the following “talk” has set residents to thinking: “Arguments and flowery figures of speeches are not neces- sary to secure your attention in a matter so important as- this. Deep in the heart of every normal, man, woman, and child is placed an instinctive longing for home and all that-the word implies. Sometimes the person does not even know what this longing is, but a day comes to everyone sooner or later :when mere shelter does not satisfy and a sense of possession is.deired: “What starts many to thinking seriously of a resl-home may be a garden in which they can satisfy the craving to till'the soil. It may be the need of a quiet breathing space after the heat and weariness of a working day. It may be the sudden realiza- tion that the children need freedom and better surroundings. It may be the failure to make rented quarters comply to grow- ing needs. So much for the sentimental side. : “There is the other side—the money side. Money does not come easily to most of us, and what money we earn should be made to work as hard for us as we had to work to obtain it. That is a point that a great many persons-overlook. They see the dollar as something to spend, never to ‘behold -again. The wiseman, however, says to it, ‘You are mine. Work for me. Bring back to me others like yourself.” And that is how he ac- cumulates wealth. “But you may say, ‘Renting is cheaper than owning. 1 get full value for my money that way; at least, all I can reasonably expect.’ That statement is true, but only as far as it goes. Consider! Your landlord is making money from you as a ten- ant all the time you think that way. Any arrangement that takes a dollar out of your pockets, uses it and puts it to work for someone else can not be a good one, can it? “ et the landlord have the responsibility,” you say. ‘I am willing to let him make what he can, so long as I am saved all the trouble of keeping things up, paying taxes, and being worried by the care of the property.’ : “The landlord is a bettér patriot than you, becauige he is not evading his responsibility as a citizen. But why not be your own landlord? It never really pays to rent—today, tomorrow, or next year.” —0 BEMIDJI NEARS PLACE ON HONOR ROLL Bemidji is nearing its quota in the Victory loan and it is probable that within the next several days the loyal citizens of the city will have oversubscribed their allotments. Those who have not subscribed should do so at once. There are now over twenty million holders of Liberty bonds although before the war there was not a single million of hold- ers of all sorts of bonds in the entire country. That record is almost as much a moral triumph as a financial marvel. On that record there could not be any doubt in any land that our citi-} zens were enlisted for the war, -and that the last shot in the locker would be fired before surrender. This is a Victory loan, a Thanksgiving loan, a reward for its subscribers rather than an assessment upon them, and contains within its subscription the promise of prosperity. The loan was spent before it was offered, and the subscription is for the purpose of paying the debts thus incurred. As the debts are paid the money will enter the currents of trade like the trans- fusion of new blood. When subscribers pay their savings for the bonds the banks are able to place at the disposal of commer- cial borrowers the credit released by the payments of the'Gov- ernment’s debts to the providers of the necessities of war. There is triumph and hope in this loan, instead of the sternness and resolution of the earlier loans. It is more a reward of thrift than a levy on those willing to pay with their pockets when unable to “pay with their bodies for their souls’ desire.” The Germans felt the blow of the earlier loans. The subscribers will feel the support of this loan long afteér they have pulled down their honor flags and taken off their loan ———0 ITS RECORD IS BRILLIANT In the past young men of our country have given but little attention to the Salvation Army. But from now on a soldier or a former wearer of the uniform with-a dime in his pocket will permit none of its collections to pass by without making a contribution. Of all the civilian organizations, religous and other, that undertook during the war to decrease the hardships and promote the welfare of our soldiers, not one better stood the tests of the terrible years than did the Salvation Army. Sev- eral with financial resources enormously greater, and with clos- er relations to the Government and the army, were able, of course to accomplish a larger amount of relief work in its various phases, but none was able to win for its representatives in the foreign field or in the camps at home more of respect or of affection from officers and privates alike. Indeed, the war record of the Salvation Army is about as near perfect as that of an organization composed of mere human beings ever was, or is likely ever to be. It is no wonder therefore, that to the unanimous praise of the men in uniform this body of brave and devoted workers is gettinig cordial com- mendation of ecclesiastics of all denominations and of laymen of all degrees of eminence. Cardinal Gibbons especially well expressed the peculiar merit of the Salvation: Armiy’ when he wrote that “the man in need of help is the object of their effort, with never a question of his creed or color.” THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Handy Emloyee. The-lady manager of the'business concern: put an ad In the paper for an experienced flreman to' work In the office. “Why do you need an experienced fireman’ for the office’ work?” asked the efficlency expert, who was on the “Well, youn - see,” :she - responded sweetly, “I just haven't the heart to ‘discharge anybody, and I thought we could employ an experienced man to do {t."

Berry, trolman in Boston, Mass., says of eolin-soled shoes: “My shoes with Neolin Soles serve me better than any others I have ever used. They keep my feet dry at all times,- and-do not slip.” When you buy new shoes, be sure they are Neslin-soled, and you, too, wiil knowa better service from shoes. More- over, these shoes are areal economy be- cause of the extra wear they give. Most good 'shoe stores carry them in styles for men, women, and:children: And don’t throw awvay your old shoes.
