The plan has been worked out by Secretary Lane, whose reclamation program prepares the} way for farms for the soldiers and sailors. In his address toj Congress on December 2, 1918, Mr. Wilson said: The Congress can at.once direct thousands of the return- ing soldiers to the reclamation of the arid lands, which it has already undertaken, if it will but enlarge the plans and the ap-}| propriations which it has intrusted to the Department of Inter- jor. It is possible in dealing with our unused land to effect a great rural and agricultural development which will afford the best sort of opportunity to men who want to help themselves,” In the message which Mr. Wilson has sent to the new Con- gress he asks for its “immediate and substantial support” of the plan. While the plan should be thoroughly discussed, delay in passing the bill, which has been already .introduced, might cause the failure of one of the most promising economic con- ceptions ever proposed to the country. If properly worked out, the nation would be the gainer, ultimately without cost, of vast wealth in crops and live stock ; and more than all that in a large! addition to its sturdy citizenship. Great Britain, France,”Can- ada, and Australia have projects for setting war veterans on the land, and the United States cannot afford to lag behind when it is the richest of all countries in natural resources. —_—0 The Spooner News takes a dig at Bemidji newspapers for giving deserved mention to the Cass Lake convention of the Northern Minnesota Development association, insinuating that for the first time such recogition has been granted to our neigh- bor. If its comment is meant to carry criticism the attempt fails at its mark for the newspapers of Bemidji are only too glad to boost and give space to undertakings which are so sure to give aid and encouragement to the development of Northern Minnesota. Bemidji has reached a point of importance where it does not have to be selfish, and it is glad to see other places of the northern part of the state progressive and enterprising, for in their success the prosperity of the entire section is as- sured. Bemidji is ready to lend its help whenever opportunity presents itself. ) Bemidji Train Schedule M. & I.—Ualon Depot No. 32 South Bound .... No. 34 South Bound .... No. 21 North Bound ....

This wonderful organization, comprised of soldiers and sailors who participated in the world war knows no sect as it knows no politics, and it stands by 'all things that are American and upon which America depends for integrity. s The world’s largest saloon, employing seventy-five bar- tenders and said to have sold twenty thousand drinks-daily is no more, having closed when Ohio virtually went dry this week. Ohio is now the largest state in the union to have prohibition, taking the record from Michigan. ) Ry T SN Bemidji residents should institute, and immediately, a campaign against the dandelion. They are more numerous in Bemidji and are ruining more lawns than ever before simply because no care was taken to rid the city of them last year. Unless effort is made to destroy the dandelions, the pest will be doubly annoying next year. ATHLETIC DANCE.
