Bemidji and Saskatoon,

For the past ten days there has
been man in Bemidji extolling the
virtues and wonderful opportunities
of Saskato on, Saskatchewan, Canada.
While the word of the gentleman is
not to be doubted and many men have
made fortunes in Canada, vet the
same conditions have obtained in this
country.
Those who have been considering
investing in Canadian schemes which
in many cases are of a wild cat ma
ture might do we'll to look about
Bemidji and this country carefully
before sending their money away.
This is country with a future but
one which cannot be made in a day.
1t takes years OF muscular effort to
bring this country under state Of
cultivation. But the land is there
and the market for the crops.
Is it not better to keep money at
home, invest it in slow but sure prop
ositions, make it assist in the general
development of the country and have
it where it can be watched than send
it 500 miles away into the hands OF
strangers?

Sink or Swim.

A correspondent commenting upon
recent case involving. the age and
quality OF eggs which came before the
supreme court, remarks: 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that the most certain
way to determine the question is for
the court to break and smell of each
egg in the 443 cases seized; but, as
this method may require more time
than the, court can well devote to the
case, having, other grave (smelling)
questions to- determine, suggest that
the court adopt the rule which the old
woman insisted never failed to guide
her in, testing eggs: p She said: ''ln
order to tell whether an egg is good
or bad, you take some warm water
not too warm, but just nice and warm
and put the egg in it, small end up,
and if it's a good egg, it will either
sink or SWIM And she didn't remem.

Advertising Bemidji.

A short time ago the Bemidji SEN
tinel boasted OF the fact that all news
matter appearing in the twin city,
Duluth and Grand Forks papers, un-
der Bemidji date line emanated
from it's office and that it was the Of
fetal correspondent for the outside
dailies, all Of which is doubtless true.
1t was from the Sentinel office
that the story came that appeared on
the front page of the Minneapolis
Journal a few weeks ago, to the eff
feet that the Bemidji Commercial
club had trouble from within at the
annual meeting and that there was a
fight over the election of directors
Sensational dope to be sure, but of
what good to Bemidji?
The Duluth News-Tribune, during
the present week, published an arti-
Gle under a Bemidji date line, in big
sensational style, citing a divorce
case, which accomplished no good for
Bemidji and it's citizens. But it was
sensational and the big dailies used
il. They pay for it too, about $500

articles above referred to melted the
official correspondent approximately
1929. That's cheap advertising ism t !

There may be dozens of similar cases, |
but what use is it to rehearse them?

Bemidji would rather pay twice that
price and not have these nasty items
published. |
Even in it's own columns the SEN

lieye, because the Pioneer printed the
facts telling the people at home what
a pretended representative was doing,
lnat the Pioneer had some personal
motive involved. Think Of it! In one
paragraph it pats Mcdonald on the
back for favoring the stand of the
present saloon conditions and in an
other it enthusiastically applauds the
