Many distinguished visitors have been guests of our city and they have come on many important missions, but never before has there been an occasion of such moment nor a time when the entire northwest had their eyes turned to Bemidji with such deep interest. Bemidji, for many years, in fact, ever since her founding, has been looked upon and thought of only as the center of log- ging and lumber operations. That was true for many years, It js'not true now and the time has come to tell the world that it is not true. Today Bemidji is doing that very thing and she is telling it in a way that will persuade the world that she is ready to prove what she asserts. Beltrami county has too long been looked upon as a wilder- ness of bog, swamp and woods. It is time to clear away that mistaken idea. Since 1910 the number of farms has increased 1,500, an increase of 94 per cent and the number of improved acres has risen in the same time from 33,252 to 89,821. A coun- ty that produces 402,666 bushels of potatoes in a season con- tains something more than bog, swamp and woods. The fact that the great land clearing campaign’ which Lieutenant-Governor Collins officially opened today is being en- thusiastically taken up all over the county evidences that it is not merely an advertising scheme to bring Beltrami county into the limelight, but a unified effort on the part of the land owners of the county to get the land cleared in order that greater pro- duction and wealth may come to our community. The citizens of Beltrami county will realize that their fu- ture progress and wealth lies in the fertility of the soil and the abundance of everything necessary to, make it a great dairy center. Men who have been selling Texas, Florida and Califor- nia lands, thinking they were the only lands' left'to be sold of any value, have at last: wakened up to the fact that Northern Minnesota has much more to offér for a small fraction of the price and are rapidly transferring their activities to this part of the country. With the stumps gone, Northern Minnesota and Beltrami county in particular will become the garden spot of the‘great northwest. i St S LY HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ANYTHING? The government is holding $83,000,000 in interest past due on Liberty bonds aggregating in face value more than a billion dollars. The money has not been paid because the holdeys of the temporary bonds have not presented the bonds and secured thgn' permanent bonds. There may be two explanations for the failure to collect the interest. Some people may not need the money and prefer to let the government keep it for them. Others may not understand the nature of the bonds they hold and do not kngw that they are entitled to exchange the bonds and get securities with interest coupons attached. As a matter of fact, was very confus:ing—almost as difficult to understand as the income tax requirements. It would be amazing if a lot of peo- ple 9f small business experience did not fail to collect not only the interest but the principle of the bonds. They were called upon to “subscribe until it hurts,” and they did so. The Wilson- even worse. ( The holders of a billion dollars worth of bonds are now suffering the disuse of money due them, possibly through the complicated methods by which the bonds were sold in the first instance. : ot S LET’S GET ACQUAINTED WITH OUR NEIGHBORS 2 The plan of the Clearbrook Commercial club, as announced in yesterday’s Pioneer, might well be emulated by others, There are scores of good Bemidji citizens, members of the Civic and Coxpmel:ce association, who are not as well acquainted with their nelghpors in nearby towns and villages as they might be, nor even with their own customers who live at a distance from Bemidji. The ‘trip into the north country by a touring party sponsored by the association last year was productive of much good, gnd many who made the trip are not through talking about it yet. Why not a similar trip into the eastern portion of the tqmtory tributary to Bemidji. There is plenty of it'scarcely yet discovered by us and we might find some people we-would like., LS el i ot FARM BUREAU UNITS The follo.w.up work being done by the Farm Bureau mem- bers in organizing the members- into units and laying out for them a yplan of work or rather having them lay out for them- selves a plan of work is bound to reap big returns.

For in- stance, the Romans counted from the founding of :their city, Rome, and when ‘Our ‘Lord was born it was the year 753 aeéording to Roman chronol- ogy. Having taken the year in which Our Lord born as the starting point of the new or Christian chronol- ogy, the years preceding that starting point could-only be counted as years before Christ and the farther you go back into the past the greater their number, just 4s the greater the num- ber the farther you come down from the starting point towards the pres- ent. There is nothing confusing: in this, and the same principle is ap- plied on any through rallway time- table. A transcontinental time-table counts distances from a terminal both ways, one way east- and the other way west. In our chronology the year of the birth of Our Lord is the starting point, and the years are passed before that event and _those THE PLANT BEHIND- OUR PRODUCT VISIT IT ANY DAY—ANY TIME AND SEE HOW OUR PRODUCT ' IS MADE KOORS BROS. —— “It's an actual fact, I'm in good health for the first time in thirty years and I owe my present. splendid condition to Tanlac. and nothing else,” was 'the emphatic staumentl of -Prof. C.
