WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1920 USELESS TALK BARRED Convention in: Indianapolis to Cost $200 Minute; Hence Worth Something (By United Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 28.—Man- ufacturers, merchants, business and advertising men throughout the United States are already turning their attention to Indianapolis as the city in which probably one of the atest conventions of 1920 will be held—corvention of the Associated Advertising Clubs o: the World. Men from all parts of thjs country and the world will attend the convention which will be held here June 6 to 10 and requests for hotel reserva- tions are already being received from many_cities. " A tremendous campaign to ‘‘sell Indianapolis” to the world has been started by more than 500 Indian- . apolis husiness men who have pledg- ed themselves to make the conven- tion “the world’s greatest during 1920.” Speakers with a ‘“‘two-hpndred- dollar-a-minute’” message are the kind of men who will deliver ad« dresses before the convention, E. T. Meredith, .of Des Moines, Ia., presi- dent of the associated ad clubs, has announced. “The convention is going to cost $200 a minute and if a man talks 25 minutes he’ must say something worth $5,000 or we do not care to have him talk,” President Meredith has announced. y An advertising plaza, erected along both sides of an Indianapolis street for several blocks, with crews of sign painters working from morning to night painting various advertising signs, will be a unique feature of the convention. NEED MORE COPS IN PARIS Paris, (By Mail)—Paris is suffer- ing from a new crisis, a crisis of po- liceman whose insufficient number in the day as well as in the night time makes people doubt whether it is safe to be in Paris. The city which is now more jammed during the day that ever before, is more deserted over night than during an airplane bombardment in war time. People who have to be out for their ‘business between midnight and five o’clock in the morning, can walk for miles without meeting a single po- liceman. Policeman are very hard to recruit in France. In Paris, owing to the war, the effectives of the police force were diminished and it has not been possible to replace those who did not return. Further, while before the war, four ‘or:five hundred ‘new po- licemen were: sufficient- every-year, there are needed today 2,500. DOING THINGS BY WHOLESALE Easy to See Many Advantages in New Methods Rapidly Being Brought to Perfection. Heretofore we have bought medical service at retail. Now Glasgow is try- ing out a plan to sell medical service wholesale, g What Glasgow Is striving to de is .this: Divide the city in districts and provide free dispensaries and free doe- tors to all who need medical Attention. It is claimed that such a scheme will reduce the death rate, because many poor people now skimp their families in the matter of health precautions. And the doctors like it, also. They work fewer hours and a staundard pay is guaranteed.. Withal, the Glasgow plan of whole- sale doctoring is said to be cheaper than our old-fashioned retail method, “Girard” writes in the Philadelphia Press. " American cities have made half a step toward such doctoring of the peo- ple in wholesale lots. ‘We have boards of health and health bureaus. They administer in a gen- eral way and they administer in whole- sale doses. \ An order goes out and it goes for all the people. It is economical and wise, as every one knows, during such an epidemic as the “flu” was last year. i Doctoring by wholesale saved mil- lions of lives in that one calamity. Uncle Sam did the insuring of his own soldiers by wholesale in the last war. Public schools supply education in . “wholésale quantities. Our spiritual wants are supplied in a fashion wholesale through the churches. So wholesale doctoring is only an- other day’s march in the general di- rection of a socialistic empire. Literally Stumbled on Riches. About a quarter of a century ago two prospectors in the bushland of Western Australia had put up their tent for the night and determined to trek back to Perth next morning, as {their quest had proved fruitless. One 'of them was aroused from sleep by the .restlessness of his horse, picketed just outside the tent and, going out to see what was the matter, he tripped in the darkness over a boulder, which proved on examination to be almost pure gold. That was the beginning of Cool- gardie. Her Cordial Indorsement. Elva was left alone with grandma for the day. An aunt, upon her return, =aid, “Did you have a nice day, Elva?” «Q, yes,” she replied. “I had a fine day —grandma just minded me perfectly.” ve Paae . \THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Mathias Erzberger, vice president and minister of finance of the German republic, is apparently the storm cen: ter of the German financial problem. He is apparently Germany’s strongest public figure, with the possible excep- tion of Gustave Noske. Anyway, he is probably the most discussed man— if not the most execrated—in Ger- many today. . There is a * widespread bellet among financiers, bankers and finan- cial writers in Germany, that if two of Erzberger's plans are put into ef- fect Germany will face actual ruin. The most important of these two measures is the emergency levy on property which they assert will reduce industrial fortunes of 10,000,000 marks to less than 3,000,000 in a decade. The second measure is the income tax, which will “beggar every modest fortune as well as every great for- tune.” ! Erzberger, as well as his enemies, looks to America for financial help. He says: “We will Americans. make our investments attractive in every way for 1 will guarantee that the only tax on the capital of nonresidents will be an income tax not to exceed 30 per cent.” WELL KNOWN BAGLEY GIRL BECOMES BRIDE IN CROOKSTON WEDDING Four-Dayb Chautauqua Held Next Summer; Garage to Handle Ford Line (Special to Pioneer) Bagley, Jan. 27.—A quiet home wedding was solemnized at Crooks- ton last Firday, Jan. 16, when Edith N.
