Did you make a fresh start yester-
day to avail yourself of the double
votes offered? Or did you enter
your name as a contestant for the
first time?
You should have done one or the
other and not have wasted one min
ute of time this week.
Take Mrs. Foster as an example.
She was not afraid of making a late
start, and she was eminently correct.
Look at her score in the contest
today. She has hosts of friends
and gets more each day. The pub
lie generally admire the sort of pluck
that this lady has displayed. Enter
the contest today. You may do as
we'll. You can do the same thing if
you have the ambition and energy.
That is all that is wanted. If you
display energy and ambition you
will not only please your friends,
who are already helping you, but
you will attract others.
There is something more than the
double votes that you will get on
the subscriptions you obtain because
besides the double votes you are
increasing your reserve with votes
that will make you win.
Plan Your Work.
The best way to get votes is to
lay out a plan for some definite
campaign for gathering in the Sub
scriptions. Then work along the
lines you have laid out for yourself,
in other words, plan your work and
then work your plan. To be idle is
the most ruinous thing in the world,
and to be idle now after the start you
have made will be the most ruinous
thing in the world for you in this
contest because it may mean defeat.
Don't let your thoughts { have votes
enough) mislead your better judy
ment because if you will stop to con.
slider you know you haven't.
Don't Pass Up This Opportunity.
Don't pass up the opportunity
that Double week affords you.
1t is positively the best offer of the
contest, and you will get no more
votes for your subscriptions than
you will get this week and when we

LITTLE CHILD FATALLY
BURNED At N0RTnOME
The Little Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. &.
A FeIdman Was Playing
With Matches.

Northome, April 12.-(Special
to Pioneer. Little Ruth, the six.
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. A. Feldman, was fatally burned
Sunday evening while at play in the
back yard with a number of little
playmates.
According to the child's own
story, the children procured some
matches from the house and went
out to start a bonfire, when, in
lighting one of the matches. her
dress became ignited.
Screams from the children
attracted several neighbors and
when they reached the scene little
Ruth was wrapped in flames. After

and the little girl brought into the

The child lived about seven hours,
suffering terribly, and at times re.
gained consciousness, when she
would explain to those about how
her clothing caught fire while light

The body was taken to Bemidji
last evening to be buried in the

COUNCIL DOES GRIST OF
BUSINESS;-.PAVE STREETS
TO Build New Lookup. Twill Lay Water Mains to Gene.
tery.-Choose Stoner City Engner.-Mayor and City
Atty. to Take Steps for Floating Bonds.

It looks as If We were going to
have new paved streets in Bemidji
this summer, or by next fall.
Mayor John c. Parker vigorously
attacked the city council for not
having done things, but only con-
sidered to do. He said If we are
going to keep our reputation as one
of the livliest big little cities in
Minnesota or any other state, we
not only want to consider the paving
of the streets but we want to pave
them, and do it at once. All we
have done for the past year is to
consider. I think it is time to act"
City Engineer Stoner was again
appointed city engineer for the CON-
ing year. Part of his report to the
council regarding the streets of
Bemidji was read and discussed at
last evenings meeting.
The mayor and city attorney were
instructed to draw up on ordinance
for next meeting night which was to
recommend the floating of bonds for
the purpose of building a new city
lookup and for the paving of streets.
The mayor recommended that bonds
to the amount of $4,000 be issued.
The report of City Treasurer Cell
shows that at the present time there
is over $500 in the permanent
improvement fund and nearly
$28, 900 in the sinking fund. This
includes the amounts out at interest,
loaned out of this fund. The total
indebtedness of this city is 500, 900;
the assessed valuation is over a
imillion%anda half. The total bonds
that can be issued for the city, out:
side of the sinking fund, would be
$33,947. Part of this amount could
be bought back by the sinking
fund money. The city, it seems,
could easily float enough bonds to
pave this coming summer at least a
mile of streets in addition to build
ing a lookup and other important
matters that should have attention
at once Dc ----~.~ .-
Thecouncil voted to lay a three
inch main from Fourteenth street to
the center of the cemetery, from
which place separate inch and a
half pipes are to be extended to the
various parts of the cemetery, the
pipes to be laid eighteen inches deep
in the ground.
Street sprinkling will commence
at once. 1t was so ordered by the
council last night. The council

Good Pruning Shears.

Now, what we are after is to get the
fruit closer to the trunk, where it will
not have SO much leverage. Next sea-
son I propose to cut my young trees
back to make proper-shaped head,
and pinch the new growth during the
summer from time to time.
Mr.. Hale. the great peach and
plum grower Of Connecticut and
Georgia, has visited my orchard and
has proposed the following remedy,
which he practices successfully in his
orchards. =
Instead Of pinching back in the
summer he allows the shoots to grow
until the rapid growth has ceased.
probably about the first Of August.
Then cut the branches back to a
double shoot, being careful to go close
enough so that no dormant bud is left
above the shoots remaining.
This will force the rest Of the
growth Of that branch into the short
fruit stems and start new ones below
when pruned.
