B OFFICIAL CUUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS fi BACK TO THE FARM. An investigation just completed by the Manitova government shows that a large number of retired farmers are going back to the land. . While no official canvass has been made in the United States, -undoubtedly a similar migration would be found in progress here. The farmer who sold his farm and moved to town a half dozen and more years ago with what at that time was a competence has been feeling the pinch of high prices, along with others with fixed _incomes. He has seen the things he used to raise double and triple in value. He has watched his old neighbors who stuck to the farm drive by in hand- some new automobiles and has noted their new modern houses and better barns and machinery. Is it any wonder that he should long for the old life again? . There is more hope for increased production of foodstuffs in this dissatisfaction of the retired farm- er with village or city life than there is in all the back-to-the-land propaganda aimed at the city- bred man. Many of the former class are men in middle " life, still physically vigorous, and even the older ones on the retiyed list are worth more to the agricultural industry than the ordinary city man. Mention has been made of the growing number of idle farms ,which in Michigan alone last year totaled 18,232. 'The number should be cut down materially within the next few years as the retired farmers get back to work, and perhaps, when wages decline and jobs are less plentiful the farmer’s help problem will be solved by the return (By EXCEANGE BEDITOB) Preus, republican candidate for governor of Min- mesota, in his opening speech before a very large pmdiemce at Mankato, declared “the fight on June 21 is not a personal one.

It says in part: “Mr. Preus’ keynote speech; in its elear defini- tion fof ‘the issue, cannot but be Nelpful to any ‘republican voter who takes his ballot seriously. He .dwells on many phases of the league and its leaders from Townley’s candidacy for office as an_.avowed _socialist in North Dakota in 1914 to the recent participation of the league and its gubernatorial nominee in the May-day celebration in Minneapolis. - " He does not hurl the epithet, “Socialist,” at his opponent, and then run away. He goes. into the fundamentals of socialism and identifies them with the league program as. it has been carried out’in North Dakota and as it is.proposed to carry it out in Minnesota.”" : b The committees which are at . work soliciting funds for the various coming gor_w'en,ti ns should receive every consideration at the: hands of the parties solicited. Bemidji has for years labored to become prominent as a convention’city, and now that its reputation is second to none as' a place in which to entertain, as well as beirig: the best entertainer, ‘this' reputation must be safeguarded and maintained.
