RANK ARRIVES IN BEMIDJI; SIGN OF SPRING One of the best indications of an early spring was that seen today on Bemidji business district streets when €. R. Rank of Minneapolis hopped off the morning train, and drew a deep breath of Bemidji's famous ozone. Mr. Rank is a dealer in farm lands, owns a fine farm at Long Lake and spends the summers there, at least the family does, and he is one of human tribe that is as effer- vescent as a bottle of pop, with a warm host of friends where ever he may be. When asked as to his visit he replied: “Just run up to get a little fresh air.” MANITOBA CURLERS IN - . ANNUAL TOURN@MENT ) (By United Pre%s.) .

It's not only the year 1920 Anno Domini; but it's also: The year 144 of American Independence; the year 5680 of the Jewish calendar; the year 1019 by the old Russian calendar (by which New Year’s Day comes on Jan. 14 of our calendar) ; the vear 1838 by the Mohammedan calendar, and the year 1836 by the Coptic calendar, which is used in parts of Egypt and Ethiopla. It is an interesting and little known fact, by the way, that our calendar years are not reckoned from the year of Christ’s birth; but from the fourth year after his birth. Christ was born in the year 4 B. C., according to the majority of authorities on such mat- ters. Somewhere, sometime, a mistake in carnival of the Hippodrome Skating club here tonight is expected to draw a record breaking crowd. Last year’s carnival drew over 5,000 people. Fancy skating, racing, and figure skating will be on %the program and silver cups will be awarded winners. reckoning the years was made, which became so firmly established that it I was impossible to correct the calendar after the discovery of the mistake was made. —— e Subscribe for The Ploneer. - .'.$2.00 | Woel, semi-brigh No. 2 turkeys ......

To the Voters: Having filed as a candidate for re- election as *City Assessor, I take this means of asking the support of the voters at the election to be held February 17, 1920. Years of exper- ience in tax matters and insurance, naturally give me an advantage in making fair and equitable assess- ments. During the past. year I assessed the personal property in the city, and endeavored to do so impartially and without prejudice. This year real estate is to be assessed and the experience I have gained during the past yegr would prove valuable in the work to be done the coming year. The same care taken with the personal assessment would be shown the coming year. [ trust that my work has merited your con- tinued, support aid that I may re- ceive it. : WM. G. KLEIN. City Assessor.
