HOUSE TO RENT. WHERE?
Realestate Men Looking for Homes
For Both City and Out Of Town
People Flats Would Pay

If Bemidji wants to grow and take
care of her people and those who
want to come here and make their
homes in this city it must build
more homes. Realestate men report
the scarcity Of houses. They have
dozens of inquiries daily and some
of them place renters and make no
charge for 1t.
If you own a house and want it
rented list it with any of the Bemid-
il realestate men. The chances are
that it will he rented mediately.
What Bemidji needs above all
things at the present time is houses.
Small houses from four to eight
rooms. At the present time it has
no flat buildings. That a flat build
ing would pay big returns on an in
vestment there can be. no doubt.
Something should be done this sum
!mer in the building line With the
coming of the normal school Bemidji
will need several hundred modern
houses and should commence build
ing at once.

lorthern section Of Minnesota, it IS

northern section of Minnesota, it IS
only a question Of few years, pro-
viding the present rate of immigra
in that direction continues, until It
all will be taken. The State and Gov
eminent lands are moving rapidly,
and large tracts of lands held by
lumber companies and corporations
are being retailed out in small lots.
This means that actual development
is sure to follow. With the high
cost of living at hand, and the gen
eral land hunger that prevails
among all classes is convincing evil
dence that the undeveloped sections
Of Minnesota are due to be the scene
of much activity within the next few
years, and there will be substan-
tial increase in the prices of these

that system only, since the conser-

BLEASE'S PARDON MILL.

AS a protest against Governor
Blease's defiance of law and
order the Legislature Of South
Carolina is considering a propos-
al to change the law by which
the power of executive clemency
will be taken out of the hands of
the Governor and placed in the
hands of board of pardons.
This is a custom Of most States,
the Governor having authority to
act only ON the recommendation
of such bro4d. In several OF
the States, INCLUDING South Car
olina. the Governor acts on his
own volition, the result Of which
has been a fragrant abuse, which
in South Carolina has reached
the proportions of scandal.
The action of the Legislature is
'proof that the good people Of
South Carp6na-Are not in sympa-
thy with piexse. and he indicates
alsosthat there is little danger of
that official stepping from the
gubernatorial office into the
United States Senate. If he has
the nereve to go before the peo-
pie there will be splendid op-
portunity to measure public opin-
ion OF man who has he'll his,
State up to the ridicule and con-
tempt Of the country.
Up to the end Of last week
Governor Blease had granted
forty pardons thus far for Jana1-
ary, including four murderers. 4
total Of fourteen in one day was
his best record, which was in de-
fiance Of the Legislature. It is
probable that he will empty the
prisons before the expiration Of
his term, hence the legislature is
justified in preparing for the fu-
ture.-States.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TIONS.

Among the people the sweet
potato sentiment is growing. 1t
fits in SO nicely after early Irish
potatoes or oats have been har-
vested, and leaves time after the
sweet potato has been gathered
to get fairly good crop Of pea
vines, to be turned under or
made into hay.
1t brings you good money in
August, and enables you to pave
the way for geeting from under
the tyranny Of the one crop sys-
tenn.
It makes it almost necessary
for you to have a few pigs to
fatten in the falls, which are
not large enough to be merchant
able.
It keeps your land in good tilth
and fits neatly into a system OF
crop rotation which combines
the principles Of profitable pro-
duction and soil improvement.
Every farmer should plant at
least one acre for the early mar
ket this year. You won't get
rich from the proceeds Of a sim
gle acre. but you can't lose much
under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances possible; and you
will have made start away
from the one-crop curse and in
the direction Of agricultural in
dependence and real farming.
