.BEMlDJI TO have BALL TEAM
Given Hardware Company Will Or
ganize Nine Of Amateurs.

When interviewed this morning as
to the possibility of organizing a
baseball team the coming summer,
James Given of the Given Hardware
Company said;
1t is my present intention to organ
ize such a team, and of course it VIII
be made up of nothing but amateur
players. I have spoken to several of
the boys, and they are ali in favor
of giving Bemidji a ball team this
coming summer -a..
1t has been several years since
Bemidji has had a winning ball nine,
and as the residents of the city do
not support losing organization it
is hoped by those who have taken
an interest in the team in the past
that Mr.. Given will be able to round
up a team which can at least hold
its own with the adjoining towns
and villages.

1t was announced this morning
by Captain Adam Otto, of the Bemidji
militia company that he has re-
ceived information from Adjutant
General Wood to the effect that the
officers of Company K. will be re-
quested to visit Texas, to attend the
maneuvers there. 49,
They will probably remain there
for three weeks or a month, and
have been asked to submit the dates
which would be the most convenient
for them to go.
AS Second Lieutenant Kelly is in

Readers of Newspapers are Realizing
More and More Value Of Adver-
Using to Them.
AIDS IN PURCHASING CHEAPLY
Many Reasons Why the Constant Ad-
Vertiser Obtains Better Results
Than A Spasmodic One.

uJA "eTcnanCS KNOW the value
OF advertising. Not only do the mer-
chants realize it worth, but the read
ers OF the newspapers are realizins
more and more of what value adver.
Using can be and is to them.
IN today's issue of the Pioneer will
be found many new advertisements
and their contents should be of much
concern to the buyers of the, varimns
homes throughout the north coun-
try. Not only is it of news import
ance but it is the kind of news that
is profitable to readers. 1t tells more
than an ordinary news story because
it is of interest to the financial de-
partment in the household business,
IN most homes, it is very essential
that merchandise be purchased as
economically as possible. Our mer-
chants are wide awake lot and are
continually on the look out in order
that saving might be effected for
their customers.
Nearly every advertisement has in
it something of special interest and
nearly everyone contains something
special in the way of saving money
for the purchaser. :.-....
In most homes the mother is the
purchasing agent. She strives, to
conduct this department in a profit
able manner. Many find little time
to make shopping trips among the
various stores and are necessarily
compelled to resort to the telephone.
Were it not for the advertisements
she would never learn of the existing
daily bargains. If she knew how
anxious the merchant was to have
her know of the special offers and
inducements he is making, she would
certainly make an effort to learn of
them. The same is also true of the
housewife. If the merchant knew
that she is looking for special offers
and is watching the columns of the
family papers for them, he would no
doubt tell his story with more regu-
larity than he is at the present time
doing.
Both are exceedingly anxious to
get together on this business basis
and there is no surer, safer and bet
ter medium than the liberal use of
the columns of the newspaper which
goes into the homes.
There are hundreds and hundreds
of reasons why persistent and con-
slant advertising pays better than
so-called spasmodic advertising. It
is up to the merchant to educate the
people in the territory in which he
does business, and to always be on
the lookout for his store news. This
story has been proven many times
and conditions in Bemidji and the
surrounding country are no different
from those in the territories where
it has been sufficiently exercised.

BIG PROFIT IN VEGETABLES
More Money in Them Than in Grain
in Minnesotais Claimed.


There is more money in Minnesota
in raising corn, potatoes and veget-
ables than in the production Of grains
according to the statistics issued by
Dean Albert F. Woods in the eigh-
teenth annual report of the agricul-
tural station, based upon statistics
gathered during the years from 1902
to 1907, from five representative
farmers Of the state. The exhaustive
analysis just issued by the director
furnishes interesting reading for
farmers of Minnesota.
The report, which covers the work
of the college and Rlb-stationE at
Crookston and Grand Rapids, con-
tains detailed accounts of the re-
search, investigations and scientific
experiments being conducted by
every department and division of the
agricultural station, as we'll as the
financial statement of the department
by divisions. In the report which is
addressed to John Lind, president of
the board of regents, Dean Woods
urges the necessity of further appro-
priations both for extending the
work of the institution and the en-
ployment of more professors and ex-
perts for instructional and investi-
gative work.
Featured in the report is the trea-
tice of Prof. Edwin G. Parker and
Thomas Cooper of the department of
agriconomy, whose minute operations
extend over five years from 1902 to
1907. 49,.
The information was gathered
from conditions prevailing on five
farms of the state, one near North
field, Rice county; Marshall in Lynn
county; Halstad, Norman county; an
1920 acre farm in Norman county
and section farm in Stearns county.
Trips were made to the farms and
close inventories were kept on all
expenditures to the end that an ex-
act estimate was secured as to the
ultimate cost of everything. This
was then compared with the market
prices prevailing for farm products
and the university investigators were
then afforded a basis of comparison
as to the most profitable products on
the farm. ~ I'll.
Entering into the Investigation as
factors governing the cost of pro-
duction were the following: Man
e.
labor, horse labor, values consumed
in the farm machinery, seed, twine,
etc., and the rental value of the land.
Potatoes and corn were discovered
to be the most costly in production,
but their returns justify the outlay
of expenditures as the net profit per
acre worth $50 was $24. 43, while in
these cases where fertilizers were
used and the potato raising was car
ried on a more extensive scale, the
net profit per acre was "a. 2 per cent
on an acre worth $50.

''sThe selection of Mr.. Richie as

The investigation of the Red Wing
training school probably will end
with the visit of the legislative COM
mittee to Red Wing on Saturday of
this week. At the public hearing
in the senate chamber, Tuesday eve
ming, Superintendent Whittier pro-
duced kilograms from superintend-
ents of different schools throughout
the country who employ corporal
punishment as a means of dicipline.
On the other hand, former Senator
A. D. Stephens of Crookston, who
caused the investigation to be made,
had several kilograms from institu-
lions which do not resort to whip
ping as means of control for in
mates.
The house has passed the measure
providing remuneration for newspa-
pers which published the proposed
amendments to the constitution and
there seems to be no doubt but that
the senate will agree to the house
action and that the publishers will
get their money.
Governor Eberhart is being both
praised and censured for his action
in vetoing the bill permitting police
men and fremen to ride on street
cars. The governors argument that,
such law would have been an en-
tering wedge to be used in Destroy
ing the anti pass statute has been
we'll received by many persons.
Representatives T. NJ. Ferguson's
bill, providing "ready made FARMS"
was yesterday passed by the house
and if it goes through the senate, as
is expected, will become law. The
bill was amended to carry an ap-
preparation of $4,000 instead of S.
900. The bill provides that the state
shall, in every tract of 40 acres,
clear 20 acres of all stumps, the land
to be sold as is all state land at pres
ent, the cost of the clearing to be
added, the buyer being given a long
period of time in which to make
payment.

Preliminary Work Is Being Done By
: J. c. Simpson, Newly Elected
Secretary
RAPIDLY GETTING ONTO ROPES
His Endeavor Will Be to Get Every
thing On Definite Business Like :
Basis. - !.

Hamline, Mimi, March 16.-After
practically month of work in pick
ing up the loose threads and gaining
an acquaintance with the details of
the big task that he has undertaken,
J. C. Simpson, recently elected secre-
tary of the Minnesota State Agricul-
tural Society, feels satisfied with the
conditions that exist and the pros
poets for an unusually successful fair
and exposition next September
"Naturally I have found many
things to demand my attention." said
Mr.. Simpson in discussing state fair
matters recently.
''While I have, of course, not yet
been able to take up many matters of
Importance and to entirely get my
UcdI1u6S, L nave Sd1uou d SoueIdl 1ued
of how things stand and feel satisfied
with the outlook. -.
Il feel especially gratifed at the
spirit of cooperation which has been
shown, not only by members of the
fair board, but by other public Off
Gals, newspapers and that portion of
the public with which, have come in
contact. The spirit of making Mime
sofa first in everything and especial
ly in her great fair and exposition is
prevalent. This is powerful inf1u-
ence in the right direction and augers
we'll for the success of the 1911 and
other fairs.
eve will endeavor to put every
thing connected with the fair upon a
definite business basis and will use
every effort to make it what it should
be, force in the uplifting and adver-
Using of Minnesota and the education
of her people. The Minnesota state
fair now occupies an enviable posi-
ton and we hope to increase it's
prestige.
Il have been especially interested
in the proposed legislation affecting
the state fair and sincerely hope that
the legislature, in it's wisdom, will
see fit to appropriate the amount
needed to build the proposed agricul-
tural building, which is greatly to 3e
desired and will fill a decided need,
both of the fair and Of the people of
the state. I can see no reason why
there should be any opposition to this
appropriation from any source.
''The Minnesota State Agricultural
Society, which is responsible for the
great annual fair and exposition, is
a permanent institution. 1t is one
of the states greatest educational
agencies, as we'll as one of the states
greatest advertising assets. The fair
is entitled to appropriations from
the state as are other of her institu-
tions and this fact is recognized by
all the progressive states as shown by
the treatment of their state fairs, by
such states as Ohio, Missouri, In
diana, South Dakota, Illinois, Ne
braska, Wisconsin and others:
