North Dakota is fortunate in
it's location as a state, having
the soil, the climate, and the
rainfall that makes wonderful
crops and a rich country; hav-
ing the cattle and the hogs and
the sheep to eat the products
of the farm, to fit them for mar
ket. and to bring the wealth of
the world to the farmers of
North Dakota. While the state
has no over-large cities, we fire.
quently liken it to large city
of itself, covered with roads as
it is, and buildings. Every tow
village and city is closely in
touch with each other and Ell
joys practically the privileges
of a large city. The farmer
reads his morning newspaper,
has his telephone, his automo
bile, many of them, and if not
that, his spanking team Of
horses with carriage to take
himself and family to town, and
the best of farm wagons to haul
his product, if he does not see
fit to feed it to his stock. The
state at large is one great gar
den cf prosperity, and the PEG
pie in it are happy contented

The first six pages are devoted to

next seven are taken up displaying

Waists are then taken up, over

shown.

The next several pages show skirts

A page is used in the quoting of
prices on messaline petticoats, while

The remainder of the book is used
in showing various kinds OF under

Mr.: Crane has installed a complete

in this book, he takes opportunity
of telling the purchasers of Bemidji

his store in this particular line.
There is, perhaps, no other mer-
chant in northern Minnesota who
places as much faith in good live adj
vertising, as does Mr.. Crane. His
ads are always up to the minute, and
that he wants the public to fully un-
derstand the true value of looking
over his stock before purchasing, is
made evident by the handsome style
book that he is now sending to over
1000 patrons.

SMITH MURDER CASE
GOES TO THE JURY

Walker, April $3.50 p. NJ
DAILY Pioneer Special Wire Service }
a trial lasting only little
more than day and a half, the case
of the State of Minnesota versus
Smith, charged with murder in the
first degree, went to the jury, at 8
o'clock this afternoon.
Smith is charged with the muir
der of Deputy Sheriff Harry McCabe,
while the latter was about to place
the defendant under arrest for lar
ceny.
The arguments for the defense and
prosecution were both made before
noon today, and Judge Stanton began
his charge to the jury at 2 o'clock.
Charles Scrutchin, Bemidji's color
ed attorney, who is defending Smith,
made a strong argument for the &C.
quittal of the defendant, one which,
no doubt, will be much considered by
the jurors before finding a verdict.
County Attorney Funck, has con-
Quoted the states case, in a very ef-
fecient manner, and many in the
court room believe that a verdict of
guilty will be soon reached.
Smith claims that the killing was
accidental.

Members of the Agricultural Commit
tee Of the Commercial Club and
Board of Education to Meet.
AT CLUB ROOMS THIS EVENING
Will Thoroughly Investigate Sites
Which Have Been Recommended
For New Department. -r;

This evening in the Commercial
club rooms the members of the aeri-
cultural committee of the Commercial
club and the Board of Education, will
meet for the purpose of thoroughly
going over the present situation in
regard to the establishing and loca-
ton of the new agricultural depart
ment, which the state high school
board recently voted Bemidji as
one of the 20 cities to receive aid of
$4,000 from the state, as was author
lied by the recent legislature. ....
Ever since the news reached Be-
midi that this city had been decided
upon as the proper location for one
of the schools, every owner of land
in the city, has been of the opinion
that his property was the one and
only place for the establishing of the
department. :,
The meeting this evening is for.
the purpose of thoroughly going over
the situation, and while it Is very
likely that no definite understandings
will be arrived at, it is probable tina;
the board will fully understand tbs
view which the agricultural COM
mittee takes on the matter.
Several days ago this committee
visited several proposed sites, and it
is understood that one of them is
very likely to be recommended by
them
1t is very important that a con-
clusion be reached in the near future
as to where the school should be To-
Gated as an endeavor will be made to
seed crop of potatoes and corn, be-
fore the present term of school is
closed.

NO ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS
Has Succeeded, However, in Repro
=
ducing Other Precious Stones.

For hundreds of years scientists
have endeavored to make artificial
diamonds but have failed principally
because diamonds are infusible. A
ruby or sapphire, whose, essential in
gredient is ,corundum. will melt Or
fuse at certain temperature, but a
diamond is pure carbon, and, when
heated little less than one thousand
degrees Fahrenheit will burn and de-
velop heat far greater than hard
COAL
This important principle in the re-
construction of gems was demon
strated by Verneuil, one of the most
mature and learned of the present day
French scientists, who, by means of
his invention, the oxohydrogen blow
pipe, has supplied the world during
the last four years with beautiful
synthetic rubies and white and blue
sapphires. These artificial precious
stones have all the richness and de-
STABILITY of the mine stones, being
fused at tempera ture of seven hun-
dred degrees and being of exactly
the same chemical composition of
mine stone and having all the hard
ness and the same specific gravity as
the latter.
These new scientific stones are be-
ing shown in quantity in Bemidji at
the present time by the we'll known
jewelry firm of George T. Baker &
Co., who have a beautiful window
display of the artificial gems and
very large stock of fine white dia-
monds. Mr.. Baker has developed
his trade in precious stones to such
an extent that he is now able to buy
in quantities directly from the i'm
porters and thus save his customers
all the profits that usually go to
middlemen or jobbers.
When a retail jeweler is able to
buy thus, directly from the import
ers, it is the last word. !.
No large dealer of the cities is
able to buy diamonds any cheaper
than Mr.. Baker and here they can be
retailed at smaller margin of pro-
fit than in the cities because the
quantity sold is in larger proportion
to the stock carried. It is also true
that store expenses and rents are
much cheaper in Bemidji than in the
cities.
