The excursion to the Northeast
Experimental Farm at Grand Rapids
which has been advertised to take
place on Saturday, July, 18th, has
been postponed one week, to Satur-
day, July 18th, in order to allow all
farmers to attend the school meet
ings which take place at the differ
ent voting precincts on July Is
under the law.
This delay of one week will also
help out all who are haying and will
leave no valid excuse for the thrifty
husbandman from taking advantage
of this opportunity of seeing the
Experimental Farm and studying
its workings.
Here he can see diversified farm
ing carried on in a scientific wav,
yet on so simple a plan, that it is
within the grasp of all.
Here he will find experts in all
the different departments, who will
be ready and anxious to show in a
practical way what can be accomp-
lished in country similar to ours
and at the least expense, both as to
money and labor. There will be no
frills handed out, only solid facts
which will be of use to each and
every farmer. See that your arrange
ments are made to take in the
excursion and remember the, Satur-
! daY. IulY rs. 1908.

HENRY FUNKLEY,
COUNTY ATTORNEY
Bemidji, MIMI, July 18th, 1908.
Editor Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidji,
MINI.
Dear Sir:-It is certainly very
pleasing to me to note all the good
things your and other papers are
saying about me in connection with
my candidacy for representative to
the legislature, but it occurs to me
that I am not entitled to so much
praise for past service, and also that
I may not be able to measure up to
the high standard of skill and ability
that you claim for me in the future,
in the event that I should be
elected to represent this district in
the legislature.
In the first place there is nothing
in my past record as county attorney
that entities me to any glory, because
even admitting that I may have been
somewhat successful in certain
features of the county attorneys
work, I, in doing that work was only
doing the plain duty that the public
had right to expect of me. have
not accomplished any thing as
county attorney but what was my
duty to do.
In the second place, even if elected
to the legislature, I may not always
be successful in what I undertake to
do and may not accomplish what
the people expect of me. A man
can try to do his duty but he can
not guaranty results. I am heart
and soul with you in the matter of
state aid for roads, and will take
off my coat and work and boost and
vote for it if I am elected to the
legislature, but please don't think
that I can't fail.
Respectfully,
Henry Funkley.
