OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS fi‘ ALL SHOULD VOTE SATURDAY Whatever may be the opinion of the citizens of Bemidji with relation to the choice of the proposed sites for the new high school building, one thing is certain, that is that every citizen should vote next Saturday and express himself or her- self on the matter. Never before in the history of the city has the expendi- ture of so much money for one object been under considera-| tion, by its citizens, and in all probability not again for a long time will as much money be spent for any other project. It is| therefore of the greatest importance that every citizen use the opportunity given them Saturday to express themselves on the matter of the choice of location. The building will be located but once and unless some disaster overtakes it, after it is built, it will outlive any of those who will vote upon its location Saturday, in all probability, therefore the wisest of judgment should prevail in the selection of the site. In this selection one of the most important points to con- isider is not necessarily the best present location, but the best location for the school during its lifetime. Will a location best suited now for the work of the school be the best in twenty- five years from now? If it be possible to acquire a site that will | | 1sland of Vaoin the New Hebrldes ave | pitious time for the feasting and on WON POPULARITY BY FEAST Hew New Hebrides Outcast chiet | Contrived to Become the Big Ruler of Vao. | Many of the Inhabitants of the refugees from the big island of Male- kula, who were vanquished in battle and literally driven off the earth by their enemies. Soon after our arrivsl a powerful savage named, Tethlong, one of the Small Numbers people, arrived on Vao with twenty of his men. All the others had been Kkilled and the women ‘and children had been in Asia Magazine. Vao recelved the newcomers as a wel- come addition to their fighting force | feast, .and at once sent his men to neight®ing islands to buy up pigs and ehickens for the occasion. The devil- devils—great, hollowed logs, Youghly to represent a human face, New 'Hebrides to guard against-evil spirits—were consulted to find a pro- the appolnted day the celebration be- gan with much shouting and singing and dancing and beating of tomtoms. It lasted for severdl days. Before 1t was-over, 720 pigs had been slaugh- tered. The island had never before seen such a feast. As a result of his political strategy, Tethlong, the refugee, became the big chief of Vao. taking precedence over the chiefs already there. | Preserving Fruit in Transit. | In an attempt to evolve méthods of preventing the spollage of ‘fruits and vegetables by freezing while In transit | or storage, the Department of Agricul- ture is conducting thousands of experi- ments at the Arlington (Va.) lnbora- torles, to determine at what tempera- tures these préducts freeze. The experl- mental apparatus, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, consists of a large tank fn which brine is circulated. and thermocouples which possess the answer this question in the affirmative that is the site that should be selected. Personal interest should not govern citizens| in the selection: of the site, but the greatest good for the great-! est number should decide. Any citizen who does not avail himself or herself of the opportunity of the polls should have no criticisms to offer after| the selection is made. | Every person who has a vote should use it Saturday. O GO TO THE FARM BUREAU PICNIC Tomorrow the big picnic of the Farm Bureau is to be held at the fair grounds. ‘All farmers and business men have been invited to attend and there should be a large representa-| tion of Bemidji business and professional men present. There| is no better way to get acquainted with our neighbors in thei country than to picnic with them and become a part of them| in their play as well as in their work.

Our country friends responded splendidl when asked to be the guests of-the Bemidji association lasi winter. Let us return the compliment tomorrow, {ern. Rome is inclosed within a cir- | cle of forts 80 miles in extent, o LET THEM KNOW WE’RE THERE With the large number of places celebrating Independence day around Bemidji there should not be any difficulty in select- ing a place to go for the Fourth. That Bemidji citizens will be made welcome wherever they go goes without argument but Bemidji citizens should let the people of the localities cele- brating know that they are there to help them celebrate. If as many as possible attending one town could drive to that| town in a body with pennants flying announcing the fact that they were from Bemidji it would announce their presence effectively. This is a suggestion for the Intercommunity relations| pogea that these natives committee of the Bemidji association. Much good could be done and the visit of the various delegations from Bemidji greatly emphasized in this way. 0- A UNIVERSITY ALUMNI The organizing of a University alumni for the cities sur- rounding Bemidji is a splendid move. This portion of the state| has contributed many. clever students and brilliant graduates to the university and what could perpetuate the memory of those students to the community more than an alumni associa- tion and at the same time foster a spirit of pride for these graduates in the heart of the community ? 0. Even the Civic and Commerce association will “play hookey” when the circus comes to town. President Barker will have one of those rebukes of his that are easy to take, ready for the next meeting very likely, but we predict he will give it with his usual smile. We haven’t had a circus for two years, Earle, so don’t be too hard on the boys. 0: Ice cream cones at 25 cents per. It made us think we were back in the war again, and we’ll bet it was bought for the same price from our home industries that the 50 cents per quart variety which we get every day at our grocery was. That is one of the things that the circus doesn’t advertise. 0- Good job, there isn’t a divorce court in session here just now.

BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS O O e T The Differsnce of 150 Years OU’VE heard the story of Paul Revere—how he clattered out of Boston and spread the alarm to every Middlesex village, etc. That was in April, 1775. It was an all night job. Today the Boston papers would slap extras on their presses and in the shake of a little lamb’s tail the whole thrilling message would be in each e e This represents the advance of 150 years in the im- portant business of spréading news. The cry of “Extra—Extra” on the midnight air brings startled folks to their doors as once did the pound of a horse’s hoofs and the breathless shout of the rider. Papers have supplanted the courier—multiplied his ef- i_’efgiveness many times—increased his speed a hundred old. . How far back we would go without newspapers! We would remain.in ignorahce not only of events at home and abroad—but also of much that concerns us just as vitally—news of the very things that have to do with the personal, every-day life of each one of us. i Somebody might be selling a new, better and more economical food; or'a utensil that would add immeas- urably to our comfort and well-being; or some better material for making shoes or clothing—but we would never know it.
