during the past twelve months the
receipts of the Bemidji postohice

favorable for increased receipts.
For the corresponding year pre-
vious, the receipts of the local post
office were $l6,740.33.
The increase for the past fiscal
year over the previous fiscal year
was S324.64. During the year
previous a primary and a general
election was held, during which
time the receipts of the Office were
increased from $500 to $4,000,
according to an estimate made by
Postmaster Erickson, from the sale
of stamped envelopes and stamps
to candidates in sending circular
letters through the mails and the
usual increase of mail matter during

such time. This would make the
increase of this year over the
naturally normal receipts of the
previous year $500 to $4,000, at
which showing the local postal corps
are exceedingly we'll pleased.
Speaking of the coming year, Post
master Erickson says:
With very bright prospects for
increased commercial and industrial
activity in Bemidji, I am confident
that the receipts of the Bemidji
postofice will be very materially
increased during the coming year.
The coming of the 500 railway, and
the establishment of several new in
dustries, insure increased business;
and with a primary and general
election on, am fairly certain that
the receipts of our postofice will,
during the next twelve months, be
increased from $17,064.87 to $780,
600, at least"
There have have some substantial
changes in the service at the local
postofhce during the past year,
chief among which was the in
stallation of the all-night mail SER
vice was installed September Is, and
through it, mail is gathered and

Z Since the publication of the last

$4,000. There is no surer sign of
prosperity for Bemidji and the sur.

Book of Five" New Six Months
Subscriptions ends. Have you

not too late if you haven't.
You surely have five friends
you can turn to and get a Six
Month. Subscription to the Daily
Pioneer. Don't hesitate. He
who hesitates is lost. Be not

feel that they must get the votes and
to get the votes that they must have
the subscriptions for this is the only
thing that will pull down the prize.
Pass Not This Opportunity BY.
As we have stated repeatedly
before we state again.-This offer
will not be repeated. So put in your
best licks now while they count for
so much. A little effort will secure
you a reserve of 1000 votes which
you may turn in at any time and
take the lead or hold until the last
of the contest to poll. Those who
fail to take advantage of this special
offer will loose one of the best
chances of the Contest, bnt the offer
of the 1000 vote ballot still remains
good, that is, It'll ten o'clock tonight
so make the most of the time that
is left you and pile up your votes.
Yesterday a bunch of votes for a
Bemidji lady came to the Contest
Department by mail from Spokane,
Wash. These were sent in by a
crowd of Bemidji People out there
who happened to chance to see her
name in a copy of the Pioneer as a
candidate in this contest. Her
name was on one of the first lists
published and had been dropped
back to the waiting list, but it is
there no longer.
This is the second instance OF
votes coming from a distance, as
the result of seeing a candidate s
name. These incidents show the
importance Of having your name
show up prominently. If you are
near the top your friends say ":push
it along it is a good thing'', but if
you are at the rear they are more
likely to say whats the use?"
Publicity pays, mind you.
It is the life and soul of business,
and vote getting is a form of busi-
ness. Advertise yourself, come out
of your hole and show yourself as a
winner and get to the top of the
vote column. There is yet plenty
of time to make yourself winner
and there are the same number of
good prizes to be gained as there
were at the start. The special 1000
vote offer is open until ten o'clock
tonight, if you should get five new
six months subscriptions or their
equivalent the 1000 vote ballot will
be credited to your score.
