My belief, the best interests of Be-

all to get busy and united work for
the development and settlement OF
Beltrami county. Two million acres
of fertile lands as we'll as Koochich-

If those three million acres were

That annual crop yield is a rea-
sonable one, and up to us to develop
and get people to grow a large area
of the swamp lands of the two coun-
ties, are easily cleared and when
cleared and drained can be made to
produce from $500 to $4,000 per
acre per year in Timothy and Alsike
clover hay and seed. A crop easily
taken care of and one that does not
need to be planted more than every
hve years. And further, when all
those idle state and homestead lands
are developed and on the tax rolls it
will relieve the burden of the present
pioneer settlers and make home life
on the farms more enjoyable to them.

Do You Really Know Where

A member of our stan makes the fol-
lowing suggestion:
1T seems to me that the hotels
might adopt the scheme we have down
at our apartment house. We don't al
low tips, but we contribute to a Christ
mas fund the same as at a club. Our
plan has only been running n few
months. but l think they use 1t in other
cooperative buildings. 1t has worked
we'll with us n it leads to attention
to the service itself, irrespective Of the
individual.
My suggestion il that the hotel
keeper might try a similar scheme. He
might cut off all tips-that ia all direct

just assignment of interest in this fund

time, but h would be much smaller.
just as All insurance policy is worth

err. say. three years than II surrendered
after five years. People leaving after
a stop Of a few days in connection with
their bill could make a contribution. 1
think that most people. especially those
stopping at a place for u long time II
they had received good service and not
been bothered o tips, would usu-
ally be very glad to make their proper
contribution. Exactly the same could

have to do would be to add to the bill

he didn't wish to. 1t would be all right.
