BASE BALL TEAM FOR
CITY? WILL ORGANIZE
Bemidji Can Support a Good Ball Team.
Locals Fans Enthusiastic
Many Good Players.

To keep Bemidji on the map as
good wholesome town for sports, it
should have good base ball team
in the field this summer. Local en-
thusiasts are beginning to show
much interest and enthusiasm and
predict that Bemidji can place
base ball team on the diamond this
summer that will be second to none
in the northern part of the state.
There is very good material in
this city and if a manager and cap
tian can be chosen early there should
be little trouble in selecting first
class team.
When a city the size of Bemidii
can place men in the field like
Gill, Baumgartner, Carlton,
Eckles, Mitchell, Kreatz, Riddell,
Barker, Brown, Larson, Gould,
Lagour and others equally as good.
it should by all means be repre-
sented on the baseball diamond.
There is some talk Of forming a
league Of five teams among the
cities Of northern Minnesota and
it is thought that Bemidji can
place team in the league that
can carry away the pennant.

tracts With Farmers in This Com.
munity for Growing Beets.
800 ACRES OF BEETS WILL BRING
BEET SUGAR EXPERT HERE
Many Farmers Express Themselves as
Anxious to Grow at Least One or
More Acres This Summer.

F. M. Pendergast has been ap-
pointed by the Bemidii Commercial
club as the man to make contracts
with the farmers in this community
for the raising of sugar beets. .
Mr.. PenderRast is we'll known in
this community and is very en-
thusiastic regarding the beet sugar
proposition.
It is the object of the commercial
club and Mr.. Pendergast to secure
enough farmers that will contract
to seed 800 acres of sugar beets.
If this can be done, the beet sugar
company will send an expert in
this territory who will give in.
structions and explain thoroughly
the proper way of planting, raising
and thinning out the beets. ~
It is the purpose of Mr.. Pender-
CAST to secure 200 acres in the
immediate vicinity of this city.
This being done will enable the beet
growers to secure a good price for
their beets, and will also secure the

F. o. sibIey Laid to Rest

The funeral of the late F. o. Sibley
was held from the auditorium of
the city hall at $50 o'clock this after
noon, under the auspices of the
Masonic lodge of this city.
The funeral was largely attended
by friends of the deceased and
family and was also attended by

the deceased was held by his brother
Masons. >..~..--

Mr.. Pendergast has worked only
two days and has secured contracts
for forty acres during that short
time. The idea is this--to secure
as many farmers as possible to con-
tract for one or two acres each and
not divide this beet.raising PROPOSE.
ton among few farmers who would
agree to grow 10, Is or 20 acres
each. There is hardly farmer in
this community, it is believed, that
would not gladly put in the small
amount of an acre as a trial in this
new and paying venture.
Mr.. Pendergast states that a
great many farmers are writing him
and expressing their willingness to
do this much at least. There are
no doubt many more who do not
thoroughly understand the PROPOSE
ton and will be glad to devote that
much acreage to the beet growing
business.
Mr.. Pendergast will be in Bemid j
all day Saturday, April 9 in order
that he might meet all the farmers
who will come to the city on that
day. He will be found in the vari.
Gus stores of this city and will keep
in touch with the Pioneer as to his
whereabouts. Anyone wishing to
locate him can call at this Office, OF
at the local stores in this city.
It is hoped that many farmers
will meet Mr.. Pendergast and con.
tract for at least one or two acres
of beet raising. :.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IS
IMPROVING VERY Rapid
Much Promising Material at Hand for
a First Class High School Base
Ball Team.

A baseball game was played
between the local High School team
and a team gotten up by the city
boys. The city team was repre-
sented by very good and promising
baseball material.
The final score of the end of the
seven-inning game was 5 to Z in
favor Of the city team. This game
was considered only as . practice
game by the high school boys.
The score during the first five
innings was 2 to 0 in favor Of the
high school team. Warren Gill was
in the box for the high school boys
during the first four innings and
held the city boys safe.
After this considerable shifting
was done to try out new material
and the team was practically changed
in every department. This was not
a game Of win or lose-it was more
Of a trying out game aud nothing
can be judged from the results.
The high school fans are becom-
ing very enthusiastic over this years

can place 4 ball team on the dia.

Let US be like the stage hand in a
theater of small English town that
Henry Irving was playing in.
In his earlier days Henry Irving
played a part in a drama which
called for setting of dark stage for
the first act. In the dark and
gloom he fought with an old Earl
and threw him heavily and when
the old man did not rise again after
the loud thud of his fall Irving
would cry out: "Great Heavens!
What now have l done?"
One night while playing his part
in small English town a short
distance from London a stage hand
standing in the flies" became so
interested and wrapt up in the play
that the scenes became to him
realities so when Irving had reached
the critical climax telling the Earl
to the ground with a blow of his fist
Great Heavens! What now have
done:" He was greatly started to
hear the stage hand shout in a loud
voice: Strike a match and we'll
have look"
Now let's strike a match and see
what you have done. Have you
subscribed to the Pioneer, or have
you not? Have you paid it up to
date or in advance, and given your
votes to one of the contestants? If
you haven't it's time to. Don't be
a lager. Be Live Wire" the
world loves them and you won't
loose anything by it. Every one
loves cheerful giver - Remember
this. Think of what a world of
pleasure calling up your favorite can
didate and presenting her with your
subscription will be. If thing
is worth doing at all it is worth
doing we'll. Don't wait til she comes
around to see you, but 20 and see
her. That's the best way to do it
because it's the right way.
