First Purchase Made by Bazaar Store
Dollar Buys Collar Of Palmer
Hardware Company
PROGRESS TO BE RECORDED

Look for the dollar You all re-
member seeing the dollar hill in the
window of the Bazaar store during
the past week. Well, this bill was
spent in Bemidji today with a view
of keeping in Bemidji the. rest if its
natural life
yz>sHello Bill was the familiar way
A. B. Palmer addressed DOLLAR Bilr'
when he came into his store this
morning. He talked to "Bill', just
as if he had seen one like him be-
fore.
Maybe you haye,'' said Bill but
you're going to keep better track Of
me than you did Of the ordinary
Hobo bli1s, arn,t you A.. B. 1old
top
This appears to be some s.Familiar
Bill' and he is sure to talk right
back when one gets Clip with him
in conversation. When Mr.. Palmer
grasped "Bill' between his forefinger
and thumb, "Bill' spoke right out
Turn me over
After being carefully turned over
Mr.. Palmer read the following on
Bills back;
"My name is William They call
ne '.Bill for short. Help keep me in
Bemidji I am a good citizen and
you need me, so don't start me on any
journey that will take me out OF Be-
midi, Buy something in Bemdiji
with me, then report to the Pioneer,
Phone 81, just what did for you.
'The story of myself and what do
each day will appear in the Pioneer
SO that all can see just where I go
and what do.
- Yours for honesty,
"Bill."
"Bill1s' first act was to purchase a
collar and pad lock for Mr.. Ives dog
Bob The purchase was made at
the Palmer Hardware store as above
stated and with the understanding
that Mr.. Palmer spend it with some
one in the city who will in turn
spend it in Bemidji with the same
understanding.
Each time the dollar is spent the
Pioneer will be notified by both the
spender and the receiver and in this
manner the public will be posted on
what and with whom the dollar is
spent.
The idea is ito keep the dollar in
circulation in Bemidj and demon
strate to the people the channels
through which money spent in one
city will go and have it is bound ito
return to the starting place.
Keep watching for the dollar
"Bill' from time to time in the Pho
neer. If you can get hold Of it do

War by Strategy.


1T often is asserted that the Chip
pewas are much more clever in every
way than the Sioux, more alert men
tally, more intelligent, more adapt
able in every way and that they over
came the Sioux as much by strategy
as by actual conflict.
ut is estimated that there are
about 5000 Chippewas in Minnesota,
about one-f fourth of all that remains
of this powerful tribe. They are
likely to remain here long. although
the pure strains, such as Mr.. Hak-
kerup, has preserved in his photo
graphs, may disappear. The Chip

to advertising the state of Minnesota,
