If we are to take care of more people it is going to become Dboast of a more popular THE OLD HOME TOWN: quite necessary to build another hotel, of less preten- tious proportions, perhaps, but one that will take care of the overflow and those who are seeking quarters and accomodations where the rate is less than at Birch- mont. The rate at Birchmont is.extremely moderate for the high class of service rendered, which is evi- denced by the fact that many of the same people re- turn here year after year. ~A'large number of them make their reservations for the next year, before they leave. The shores of beautiful Lake Bemidji have ample room for several hotels, which, to our mind, will b erected as rapidly as the tourist trade demands. d The dairying crop is growing. It is the all year round backbone crop for the farmer and the business man. Any legislation that can be enacted.to hasten the development of this great industry will be most wel- ‘% come, The returns will:be an hundred fold, - feooe——————F§ . \MERCHANTS—NOT STORE KEEPERS Bemidji is blessed with merchants—mere store keep- ers are fast becoming a thing o fthe past. This fact is being recognized by visitors even more quickly than by our own residents. ‘ 1 What Bemidji now seeks is not more retail business houes, but more business for the: establishments we have and that is just what the merchants committee of the Civic and Commerce Association is planning to ac- complish. They are goirig about it in a manner that shotild gain the confidence of not only our own people, but those who look to Bemidji as their trading center. The John Wanamaker slogan—“NOT HOW LITTLE BUT HOW MUCH CAN YOU GIVE FOR THE DOL- RAR” seems to be, what the Bemidji merchants are en- deavoring to do. The adoption of such a policy will bring outside business here, as well as hold that trade, which. should of right, come here and remain here. Telling the whole truth about their merchandise in their advertising will beget confidence and the public will watch their announcements with .interest. The Pioneer is especially desirous that its many read- ers peruse the advertising columns as diligently as its news and editorial columns and will make every effort to hold the “truthi in advertising” as the most essential requirement. 5 Y § § A A BOY WHO WILL GET ON A freshman in the University of Michigan has asked permission -to drop the required gymnasium training because he works eleven hours every night in a factory to put himself through his college course, according to a statement in the New York Herald. He goes to the factor:y at 5:30 o’clock in the afternoon and quits at 4:30 in the morning. In the remaining thirteen hours of the day he must find time to sleep, sit through four hours of classroom instruction and prepare_himself in his courses. g : - iy Compvared with this youngster of 18 the average ‘tlred business man is a lotus eater. If this boy doesn’t -cra‘c_k under the strain he will come out of college with his will steeled t othe undertaking hard jobs.

Bemidji, Minnesota, December 21, 1922 To the Editor: b 1980 . t " You:ask us, “What America needs?”. THat is easy for a per- son to_tell;: who hds studied economics and t}‘ie history of the pre- vailing systems: of -the whole world since the dawn of civilization. I, say the whole world because the underlying causes that produce o'.Tnuch’unrest’ in: America are the same forces or system that shakes the: wholé world at the present time- . That system is—The Wage and Profit'System—a. system that permits. a ‘few to benefit at the expense of flj‘e many, a system, if you :please, ‘that always’breeds, masters and ‘slaves a few who at- tend to the affairs of government and.speculate in” human life and the great mass of workers, the backbone of every nation, who toil daily !or‘a» mere pittance as compared with the amount of wealth produced by these same workers. Some of these workers who have seen the possibilities of a greater life for all humanity are the pres- ent day agitators, the rebels against a system of society, that has left the masses in bondage. . The greatest. issue before the whole world today is “the great awnkeni‘ng of the toiling masses who-demand more of life .and on the other hand those who have been successful in gaining control of the great industries and natural resources of the worM, who would in many instances, grind the very life bloog¢ of the workers into profits for their own enrichment.” N 575 /.. The logical outgrowth has been two classes. Intolerance prac- ticed by one class or the other has always led to extremes, and, so today, we find our dear America as the hotbed of industrial' and political strife. Let me suggest the remedy, “A greater education in thesintelligent use of the ballot, the world’s most effective wea- pon.”” 'To every person the full product of his toil, no more, no less, and then, and only then, will, we come to the fuller realiza- tion of what happiness and life really means. “A DREAMER.” Gould and Bride in Winter Home b ) i #ay Gould of New York and his beautiful bride, nnl' caused a. sensation in New York society, are shown ‘h:rh-u:n I*'THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER | until she getg past six years old, tions there are much better than this the ‘heart grow any fonder. - FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 29, 1922 at the sick bed of her b ther, Mr. J.
