OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS ———————————————— TR AT ST R B INDIANS WAR STAMP FIENDS ‘A story from Tulsa, Okla, has it that War Savings Stamps are tremendously popular among; the Indians who have gotten rich quick from oil wells discovered on their properties. “Stick- em-on” competitions are popular among the Indian Rockefel- lers who buy the $5 stamps in sheets, arrange their cards neat- ly and start licking and sticking at a prearranged signal. After all the stamps had been stuck on during a recent contest the Indians capped the “field meef” by lining up and racing to the -post office to get the stamps registered. Alice-Smells-No-Meat il wori:the race and had his stamps registered first. He had past- Yed on $485 worth of War Savings Stamps in six minutes and ,ifourteen seconds. His time to the postoffice was 56 seconds flat. ‘ ’ —0 5 : CAN’T BEMIDJI HELP FERGUS FALLS What seems to be the matter with Bemidji and the Fer- .gus Falls relief fund drive? *'That's what a great many people “gre asking. Why not clean up Bemidji’s allotment within the :next few hours? Let’s go, what do'you say? . Bemidji’s allotment was $400. * We have raised about $33. This is not usually the Bemidji way. Are we going to stop at ‘this? Of course not. Townships about us have already gone | %over the top”, and way over at that. b If we could get 40 men to give $10 each, or 80 men to ‘ give $5 each the top would have been reached. What would ‘Bemidji folks think of other cities, had such a disaster hit this| . -eity, and they were as slow as we‘have been to act? Let’s not think of it. Let’s dig down and do things. ; . Each of the Bemidji banks :are receiving these subscrip- ons. Pay what you can toward this fund and pay it now. Don’t put it off, the sufferers need the money. MAIL ORDER HOUSE GAME i What F. P. Mann, prosperous merchant of Devils Lake, N. {°D., told the Bemidji merchants'in an open and frank business 'address Wednesday evenipg in-the Elk club rooms, he told of :what he had been through, combatted. the wily canvassers rep: .resenting mail ‘order housés in'a car selling goods used-in-pre~ ring meals, being flooded with catch line advertising before, “to induce them to part with their hard earned coin for inferior 'goods, and with catch all prices on some and others at exhorb- . /itant figures, to even up the score. i Beltrami county is not free . from 'this propaganda and i ‘whenever. one “falls” for the game of the scheming mail order # houses ‘he: has to put up the cash before his order is shipped from the other end. Not a cent’s worth of credit is extended. 'The mail order houses don’t know you and don’t“care for you, i except to get your coin. 3 i It is up to the local dealers to compete with unscrupulous :7mail order concerns, far distant, and show the people that it is ;a catch cll scheme and that they can save money and secure fbette'rh:goods at home. i ; From every angle a community market would be one of the ~principal assets of Bemidji and surrounding country. This is i-one time when the business men and farmers stand on a mutally important proposition. ‘And so are the consumers vitally inter- ested. ' s 0. - If a farmer wants to sell his potatoes, he can sell them and '/ get the money from a community market, and the potatoes are then shipped to a jobber. They do not pass through the hands < of five or six middlemen, each picking off his bit. A jobber i'sells direct to the retail trade... - . —_—0 i it Burleson’s autocratic government control of the telephone 7 and telegraph lines ceased at midnight last night, and again the - communication lines of the country came under private control. If Burleson was considered fit'fér the place some one was sadly . imposed upon. His administration as a wire administrator + ‘was one huge monumental joke, as everybody knows. —_—0 ELKO THEATRE PROGRAM. “The Unveiling Hand" is the ‘title NEWS OF THE of ‘the new World picture starring Kitty Gordon Which is showing to- night at the Elkd'theatre and it is a peach of a picture—fast-moving, in- teresting and unusual and giving Miss Gordon ' one. of the most iintensely dramatic roles she has ever played.

American Shoes in China. American - shoes are in high favor among all classes of Chinese. The av- erage native, however, is unable to secure them because of the high prices, ‘and is obliged to content himself with cloth footgear, or with very poor imi- tations of the American style of shoes. Leather shoes are only for the wealthy. Practically all of the high- grade leather imported into China for ase in shoes comes from the United States, while the lasts are made in Japan and are copies of staple Ameri- ran styles, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER » GENERAL MERCHANDISE Groceries, m-; m Shoes, Flour ¢ W.
