A Convention CITY.

No CITY in the northwest is SO
beautifully and conveniently To-
Gated to be an ideal convention
city as Bemidji. AS yet very
few state or district societies
have held their annual gather
ings in Bemidji because the ad.
vantages of Bemidji have not
been called to their attention.
The suitability Of this city for
such gatherings is unusual and
once a few conventions. have been
held here societies of all kinds
will be eager to make Bemidj il
their annual headquarters for.
business and pleasure. Other
cities in northern Minnesota, not
nearly so we'll situated or pos
sessed Of so many natural advan
tages, have by dint Of continual
effort come to be considered as
natural points for the convenin-
ing Of all kinds of conventions,
and they are now reaping a rich
reward for the labor they ex
pended few years ago.
Bemidji can do the same and
more so.

Plain Talk to Business
Men.

% y
THERE should be at least one
hundred business men at the
meeting Of the Business Mems
Club tonight at the Masonic hall.
This means you.
Important matters will be up
for consideration, but they will
not be decided upon, nor carried
through to as successful a cou-
clusion, # but half dozen mem
bers Of the Business Mems Club
are present. A few do not care
to decide for the many or to
spend the many's money. There
is but one thing needed to make
Bemidji the best town in north
ern Minnesota and that is for
every business man in the town
to put his shoulder to the wheel
and push all together. The best
way to push right now is to at
tend the Business Mems Club
meeting. It makes no difference
whether you are a member or
how small your business is: you
are needed there, and it will pay
you to come.
Here are some importpnt mat.
ters that need unity of action.
Lending systematic aid to the
census enumeration to see that
Bemidji gets it full count.
Making the Fourth of July cele-
bration a complete success.
Promoting the Bible Study Con
ference and the Chautauqua
idea.
Plans for further identifying the
city.
Action favorable to the location of
factories and wholesale houses
in Bemidji.
Building county roads out of
town.
every business man in Bemidj il
can stand no matter what his
creed or politics.
Don't think you are too busy
to come to the meeting tonight.
If you stay away you will be neg
Letting big thing for little
things. It does not make any
difference if you know that nine
ty-nine business men are going
to the meeting; you are needed
too.
There is an enthusiasm in IN
ity and in number that pushes
through to successful conclu-
sion projects which otherwise
would not be, attempted.
If you are in any way interest
ed in Bemidji, attend tonight's
meeting; it is your business.
