Read the suggestions our mer- e E c!hms submit for your approval. You will find loads of them and when you buy them in Bemidji, you have the satisfaction of «-=~knowing that the goods are right as well .. a8 the price. % Bemidji stores are decorated for the ylday occasion. The merchandise that is ecially fitted for gifli purposes is dis- played for your conveniences. Courteous clerks are ready to look after your needs. Every effort to render service is being lade on the part of our merchants. 2% The Christmas spirit greets you wherever wyou go. Even the streets are decorated to jigstill the proper spirit into -those who ) 2 as a magnet to visitors, <508 Y Two traveling salesmen, who live in 8 ‘fl"“;‘ s | inneapolis were overhard in a conversa- L,k tion, somewhat as follows: g ~#1.. .“‘Say, Arthur, these Bemidpi merchants 3 ve anything skinned I ever saw. Look at fieir stores and now they are decorating f"e‘ streets. Did you ever see anything like it?” ) ' : .. “No, I never did. There are few paces like it and none on my territory hold ‘a candle to this live berg. I stepped into a . store to see if I could find something for the .- 'wife for Christmas. Do you know I found #%just what I wanted and at a price that as- » tounded me. Why down home this article ‘would have cost me half again as much.” “What do you say,” said the first speak- , “we both buy our gifts in Bemidji. This ‘town deserves our business and I am. for leaving my Christmas money here.” “So.am 1,” replied the one called Arthur and we have every reason to believo they did. You can never tell what advertising will - -do. Bemidji is the trade center for miles around, and when our-visitos come here, . the, amount they spend depends upon the reception given them and the decoration of our stores and streets helps materially in this regard. l FROM OTHER PAPERS , Garpenvfier says Dempiey and Siki should be barred from the ring as they hit too hard.—Stillwater Gaz- ette. 1 " Reading without thinking is as senseless as' would be drinking with- out swallowing.—Forbes Magaaine. i ;- The annual joke—County attorney it...of .

Mr. Hitchcock, editor of the paper ans- - wers it thusly.and he uncovers an impont- ! truth. He says: ¢ -by the farmers thqn;\sél‘{,és‘ s r:jr.

The farmer is steadily coming to know more and more about his own busi- ness, not merely the business of planting and reaping—but the whole broad field of making his operations under the. perplex- ing and myriad difficulties of modern life, a success. o ¥ B “The farmer himself is coming to suspect that the success of his business, like the success of any other business, depends less upon politics and more up: a business efficiency.” 73 i AR farmers by the creamery at; Burtrum, Minn. increased from $33,515in 1910 to'$198,730 in 1920. ‘This was a gain of 493 per cent. The ‘Burtrum territory has escaped the.:- pinch of “hard times” felt in some of the single crop sections. : . Every day we read of the success of di- versified farming and the fact that the dairy cow is the hope of the farmer, Yes, our farmers are getting - them as fast as they can find the “sheckles” to get them with, but - the ‘gatherings of the “sheckles” seems to be where the rub comes. 2 “If all of the money foolishly wasted by the. government and. everybody else .for that matter, were spent for fgu'm develop- ment, espcially the dairy business, what a " harvest there would be. Hard times would be a thing of the past. - —t THE KIDS AND.PUZZLES “During the, past.few:days the, .Pioneer has been giving: out some Ca}umet ku.lg Powder puzzles to the kiddies. W-ell,_su"; we never knew thére were so many “kids in town. Pardon:the expréssion “lqu' but when they come in droves and act like reat honest to goodness boys %nzlte girls, that word seems to express it better. Bemidji is blessed with the finest and healthiest 1ot of youngsters to be found out of doors and among them we could.see one or two future presidents of the United States.
