COMPANY K have SOME
SPLENDID DECORATIONS
In Preparation for Annual Ball Tomor-
row Night, Soldier Boys Do
Good Work.

The preparations which have been
under way for several days for the
annual ball which will be given by
Co. K tomorrow night have been
attended with splendid success, and
everything points to the soldier boys
having one of the SWEETEST social
functions in the history of Bemidji.
Especial effort has been put forth
by the decoration committee to
make the dance hall attractive. A
Pioneer representative was given a
peep" at the hall this forenoon, and
an involuntary "oh!" attested the
surprise at the decorations. The
committee has transformed the hall
into bower of beauty" with the
national colors periodically blended
together with a most pleasing effect
At what might be called the back
of the front" of the dance hall there
has been skilful]y woven together
two flags, many strings of crepe red
white and blue paper, into a striking
piece, in the center of which is a
splendid picture of the late Governo,
Johnson, who was in the executive
chair when Co. K was mustered into
the service. = .
The hall has been framed" into a
tent" with streamers sloping from
a high center to either side and fall
ing gracefully to the floor.
There is a handsomely decorated
tent which is labeled canteen,'
where refreshments will be served
The members of the company
are expecting a fine crowd; and
every indication points to there being
large attendance at the ball; and
Co. K deserves the support of every
citizen of Bemidji.

The Bemidji Band Booster buttons
are selling like hot cakes.
It was at first the intention of the
committee to hold the buttons until
April /, and then commence with
a rousing campaign and sell.
The buttons were received at the
Pioneer Office about week ago and
nearly 200 buttons have been dis
posed Of. Prof. Harry Masten is to
be given credit for selling by far the
most buttons. The members of the
band have number of buttons to
to sell and will no doubt have these
disposed of in short time.
The purpose of this booster button
was to secure funds with which to
buy uniforms for the band boys.
The suits have already been ordered,
twenty-five, with one drum-major
suit. The suits will be blue, with
black braid. The total cost will be
about $500. If the suits were pur-
chased direct by the band they
would probably not have been
ordered until the entire amount had
been secured, but through the offer
of Emil Schneider, Prof. Masten has
been able to place an order for the
suits. .,-.....
The band boys feel grateful to
Mr.. Schneider for offering to order
the suits before all the buttons have
been sold. There are 500 buttons
to be disposed of and over 200 but
tons are already gone. Are you
still without a button? It is but a
triAe for. each and every citizen of
this city to give forwards 50 good a
cause, and the 500 buttons should
not be enough to 60 around.
If you have not yet button, tele.
phone Harry Masten, any member
of the band or the Pioneer Office and
secure one.
Many of the citizens have pur.
chased two, and some three; others
have donated literally in the past
for thessupport of the band and still
others will offer aid for the support
of the band. Get on the band wagon
and get booster button. Glance
over this list and see who are al
ready riding

DESPISE NOT THE DAY OF
LITTLE THINGS is an old saying
worthy of great deal of considera-
ton from the ladies in the race
for the-S25OO in prizes, that the
Bemidji Pioneer is giving to the
ladies of the Northland. Every
day this week a two vote coupon
has been running in the Daily
Pioneer. Are you cutting them out
and polling them.
Despise not the day of little
things lest that you in your day of
want may long for them. Every
little bit added to what you've got
makes just little bit more, so
don't neglect gathering up the
cupons as they may be your saliva
ton in the final count.
You have until eight o'clock to-
night to poll the necessary 500
votes to put your name on the roll
of honor. Are you going to be
among that list of a chosen few?
1t is up to you whether or not
you will be. Do not neglect your
opportunities but make the most of
them.
You can surely do this if you
chose. Your friends will certainly
miss your name on the list of candi-
dates, and will think that you have
retreated under fire. Do not let this
happen, but 90 out and hustle out
just one subscription to prevent
your name being taken from the
Honor Roll.

so DEER RIVER FARMERS
. TO RAISE SUGAR BEETS
Al. H. lester, Secretary Commercial
Club, Receives Letter Telling Of
Organization of Farmers.

AL. H. Jester, secretary of the
Bemidji Commercial club, has
received a letter from Deer River
which indicates that the farmers of
western Itasca county are anxious
to cooperate with the Bemidji Com
mercial club, the North Central
Minnesota Shippers association and
the farmers of Beltrami and Clear
water counties in demonstrating to
the beet sugar manufacturers that
the sugar beet industry can be profit
ably carried on in this section of the
state and that the establishment of
a beet sugar factory at Bemidji
would bring good returns to the
New York capitalists who are inter
ested in the beet sugar industry of
the u. S.
Mr.. TESTERS letter was from John
Tremaine of Deer River, and that
gentleman states that farmers to the
number of fifty are forming a farm
ers' club which will have for it's sole
purpose the raising of sugar beets
during the coming summer, and that
the association is very DESTROYS of
cooperating with the Bemidji
boosters in their efforts to have
sufficient beets raised to guarantee
the factory; and they want their
beets tested by the Carver County
Sugar company at their Chaska
factory.
Mr.. Jester has answered the Deer
River communication, stating that
the emergency rate which was re-
Gently secured for shipment of beets
to the. Chaska factory would be
effective at Deer River also, and
that the factory would give the sum
of 81 per ton, f. Q. b., Deer River,
for the beets for demonstration pur-
pose; to plant the beets in rows
thirty inches apart, and that the
seed could be procured at the Chas-
ka factory.

Why Everyone Should Take the Pioneer.
There is a good and sufficient
| reason why every resident of Bemidji
and Northern Minnesota and the
territory tributary to Bemidji should
take the Pioneer. First, because it
is the only home local daily pub
lished in the territory and the people
ought to support home paper but
this is not the principal reason; it is
as follows: because the Bemidj j
Pioneer through its columns has
given the Northland a representa-
ton and a position that it would
have been unable to obtain had it

ment Convention through its efforts
to the City, thereby advertising

resources of the surrounding terri.
tory over the entire Middle West,
through the publicity given the
Convention by the Duluth, Twin
City and out-of-state papers. This
is class of advertising that money
can not buy.
Did the Pioneer get paid to do
this? Not that anybody knows
anything about, and if they did
it doesn't show on the books of
the Company, yet this is just one
instance of what the Pioneer is
doing every day, every month and
every year for Northern Minnesota
and the people it is so faithfully
serving. Friends and readers: is not
this a sufficient reason why you
should take and help support the
organ that is putting the life blood
of Progress in your veins, without
advertising and publicity any new
and undeveloped country lays
docmant now days. Northern Mime
sotaians: Can you afford to be
without the Pioneer? You know
you cannot. Then acknowledge it
by helping some contestant in the
race for the $4,000 in prizes the
Pioneer is giving away by taking
the paper that means dollars and
cents to you in the increase of
property values by the growth and
development of territory the Pho
neer serves.

that the larger portion of the money
was in a pocket of Lehner's macki-

It is the general impression that

Lehner was robbery.

The Courthouse Annex

The Jefferson county board of revenue,
being composed as 1t is of good citizens
whose uppern1ost desire Is to do that
which is best for the county, has es-
pecially commended itself to the public
board was about to erect a $50 600 annex
to the courthouse, but after the archi-
tects plans had been accepted, represen-
discussed in the columns of the Age
Herald the projected Improvement and
protested earnestly against what they
regarded as a makeshift. The demand
for more courthouse room is urgent. in
deed, and a $4,000 annex in the rear of
the main building would give the needed
relief; but 1t would be only temporary
relief after all.
The board, while it is providing addi-
tional room for the eounty's business
should erect skyscraper of handsome
design, which would not only be in keep
ing with Birmingham's recent architec-
ture, but which would be adequate for
many years to come. Even If such
structure did cost 100000 or more, it
would mean a saving of money in the
end. This is Alabama's imperial county
and 1t is growing in population and in
creasing in wealth at a rapid rate
s5OOO0 annex might have seemed all right
a few years ago, but today such a build
ing for the county would be regarded as
mean and shcddy. Let US have nothing
of the sort.
In view of the fact that public .senti-
ment is becoming aroused in protest, the
board of revenue has wisely decided to
keep the matter in allegiance until full
and thoughtful expression of the people
can be heard All credit to the board for
not going forward with its plans in an
arbitrary spirit. As much as courthouse
expansion Is needed, a further exercise
of patience on the part of those directly
interested is only reasonable, for 1t will, it
is felt, rebound to the good of all.
