OPFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS PREUS A PERSONAL “MAGNET”. It can be said with truth that “Jake” Preus has made every effort. to keep his hands off in the mat- ter of the coming Republi¢can state meet and: the political problems before it. Dictation has been the furthest from his thoughts or intentions, hut whether he wills it or mot, the Republican gather- ing scheduled for March 31 will be a “Jake” Preus convention and his wishes and ambitions alone will dominate. At the present time there is not a pub- lic man in Minnesota with a keener mind or a bet- ter ' political insight than “Jake” Preus. Figure it out as you may, there is to the man a personal magnetism ‘that draws men and women “to his standard without effort and out of his likable ways has ‘unconsciously grown a great Preus machine that ‘is large in numbers and state-wide in its scope. Nothing like it has been seen in a quarter of a century in Minnesota politics. Aware of the heads that would have to be broken and the political jealousies that would naturally result, Governor Preus early sensed the danger. of a too rapid politi- cal ‘rise and his determination to again seek the governorship and his present insistence on this point comes of that knowledge. That his stand will serve him well two years hence is without question. Jake is billed for Washington and nothing can stop him. e TRI-STATE CONFERENCE - Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan held the sec- ond. Tri-State Development.Conference in Milwau- kee. March 2. The program included development of the cut-over country, the tourist proposition for the northern lake districts, and the Lakes-to-Ocean project. Governor Blaine, in calling the meeting, said: “Consummation of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway, which will give the inland states access to the sea board, requires that'these lake states move forward on a well-ordered joint program’ o: rational development.” i /8§ WELL SELECTED DELEGATES The delegate electibn is over and Bemidji may wel]l feel proud of the splendid selection of men and, women chosen from the various wards to be- come a part of the Republican county conventian. Considerable interest was aroused the last few days« which brought out a fairly good vote. The conven- tion will be held at the court house next Satur- day. THE STATE CONVENTION With his sympathy : for Semator Kellogg for United States Senator, Gnverfmr “Jake” Preus has « made easy the selection:or endorsement. of prac- tically the whole Republican tl;kg{?t the state convention. The_one’missing name; from the pres- ent state officers will be that of Hermun Mueller. His office will doubtless be ‘the name of 4 womgan and that womd) vfi St Paul dng Bémidji.

M- you want to be of service to the farmen and your community, bethere , Lend your support to the men who are fighting for your interesst. ‘We. know of no argument against .granting a lower. fuel rate. - Other wood rates are.lower, because, of the re- haul railroads get from. paper and lumber. Fuel.. wood rates are entitled to even a lower rate than pulp and logs, because they will give rehauls .to the railroads every year and for an indefinite pe- riod. The rate will. do .very little good this: year, but next year it will-mean much to all who live in this section of the state. -Be there and help get the lower rate. §—— 3 For the “Love of \Pent,” let’s have some peat heat. O O M S — WHAT OTHERS SAY " The Adjustment of the School Calendar In order to make our .rural’ schools more effi- cient. there is an urgent need for the adjusting of our school, calendar to meet the neegds of the com- munity. p The school should not open until at least the first part of October and close the last of June. Harvest would then be over before school ’began, and this plan would provide for two w_egks vaca- tion at Christmas time and one week during spring ‘work. A The spring vacation could be leng;.hpned to. two or even three weeks if necessary, Inf guch case, the school board. could well afford to pay.the teachers actual living expenses or the equivalent in travel- ing expenses, if preferred. i Even if the farmer and his wife do work on an eight-hour schedule—eight hours in the forenoon and eight hours in the afternoon—it is sometimes quite necessary to keep the boys and girls under fifteen years of age out of school to assist during the: busjest seasons. This is al great wrong done them, for when they are men and women grown they are not in a position to enjoy, achieve and. serve as they otherwise would. The rural school pupils would then have nine months in whieh to do nine months’ work.. They could' then compete with the town schools on an adequate basis. The school calendar is one of the majer causes for the difference in the efficiericy be- tween the rural and the city sehools. This calendar can be used as an effective means. to increage not only the enrollment in the upper grades of the.rura] school, and: the grades of the high' school, but also to give a larger percentage - of attendance in both than we now have, and con- sequently a larger number of eighth grade, high schodl and college. graduates. ‘—MRS.
