Brooks has been named chairman of. a-committee to look after this work, which is to begin at once. . ~"Next week . we ‘are to have guests of about-400 women from various parts of .the state and our city should be made pre- sentable. - There is hardly a vacant lot which“has not been permitted to grow a #fine” crop of weeds, - Truly, this is inex- cusable. o b ‘It we have an ordinance that compéls owners to keep their premises free from weeds, it ought to be enforced. I we haven’t such an ordinance, we should have one. . The city could then employ idle men in cleaning up these unsightly spots and charge the bill to the property owners. Bemidji, -recognized as the oasis, the . “garden of Eden” of the Northwest, should lead in work of this kind. When visitors comie here they expect to see a wonderful city, and they will—but if our interest in its beauty becomes lax and. we become ‘careless, some of our guests nex: week may go home disappointed. 5o The women of Bemidji have for, some time been endeavoring to interest our citi-. zens in taking pride in their property, and have accomplished certain ‘ things:along this line, but there is still considerable work to be done, and if we are to keep up our good name we must act quickly. p Why not, all of us who own property, lend assistance by co-operating -with these committees and make the work a pleasant '|. duty, rather than assuming the ‘‘noneé-of- your-business” attitude? q §—i + LA FOLLETTE AGAIN IT That the people of Wisconsin think more of Bob LaFollette than do the people of other states was demonstrated in the re- cent primary election in the Badger State. ~Who elected him, matters not . 'A .vote is a vote, no matter who casts it—and Bob polled a majority, and then some. . “That the people who know him best do not believe everything that was said about his war record is self evident. That he se- cured some votes from right-thinking, clear-minded, respectable voters is 'also evident. When one talks with the business men in the capitol city of Wisconsin, he learns why LaFollette has the power to pull votes. They believe nothing they hear about him and only half of what they see. They are familiar with tactics—unfair tac- —_— EHA 1IE e Mr. Edminster and the Misses-Ida and Myrtle Helmer motored to Ttas- Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Harpel were Bemidji shoppers Thursday. Mrs. J. A.

How’s that for a .population of only 800,000? No .other state in the Union probably comes any- where near such a per capita expenditure for.good roads. Other Pacific states -are also energetically constructing the very finest paved highways. Oregon’s roads have cost $30,000 a mile, exclusive: of bridges. The result is that you can now drive hundreds of miles.north and south on ‘Also, it will very shortly be possible to mo- tor clear through the state of Oregon to the Idaho border-line, a distance equal to » the total length of England. i . I noticed, too, a‘great many substantial roads in-many parts-of the western half of the country. Good roads always go hand- in-hand- with a high state of civilization. If the Romans needed good roads in their day, how much does this far-flung conti- fient need them today? Next to necessary expenditures for up-to-date sanitation, no district can invest a generous amount. of money more wisely than in constructing first-class roads, now so necessary for expe- ditious: transportation of products and so conductive to the development of desirable social intercourse, without which “we can never hope to have our agricultural re- sources adequately. developed, ’ Yes, the West is on the right track.—B. C. Forbes, in Forbes Magazine. i DIVERSIFIED FARMING The Minneapolis Tribune's. campaign for the promotion of an interest in the dairy cow has now branched out over broader pastures and is right in accord with the proclamation of Governor Preus for a “Diversified Farm Week.” - In the manufacturing business, men strive for efficiency. They have done this for years—and the word “efficiency” has been nearly as much talked-to-death as the word - “Co-operation”’—yet neither have been worked to death by any means. Diversified farming is applying: modern efficiency on the farm. It not only means to get the most out of farm labor and farm machinery, but'out of ‘the soil—this year and next year, and years to come. It'means playing a safe game. The same crop on the same soil, year after year, we have been taught, kills the .productiveness of the soil. The lead taken by the Tribune is timely and good— lead on. ) 3 INDOOR SPORTS Razzing the state board of parole is now the latest Twin City newspaper indoor sport, says Vance Chapman in his news letter from the capitol. “Because of alleged uncalled for re- leases of prisoners the board has been scored unmercifully, and as usual the stuff is not without _its inaccuracies. ~While within spitting distance of the state capitol some of the papers do not know the differ- ence between the state board of parole and . the state board of pardons, and as a result the latter has been unjustly dragged into the controversy. While there is some cause for-complaint, the whole thing looks pretty much like propaganda.” is cutting corn at|ca Park Sunday afterncop. Bicycles — Motoréycles . G. Hogli .| Mr. and Mrs. R. O.
