They are BUILDERS, one and all.
But we fear that we of the town.
are often forgetful Of the great duty
that we owe to them for their loyal

local business community.
.. We ourselves know of the high
regard in which we hold the farmers
of this community, but we doubt if
the farmer knows of the, warm senti-
ment which we entertain toward himt
And this is because we think much
and say too little. L. =. y

otherwise than thus. ID .s
Let us of the town cultivate a
more friendly and neighborly spirit,
let us open up our hearts that the
farmer may look within, for we are
but one big family and should dwell
together in unity and brotherly love-
Let us act as we feel, and give the
farmer to understand that he Is of
us, as well as with us. -. ,.-.' :. .
We need each other, for a pros
porous farming community makes a

town adds life and enjoyment to the

THE BATTLE FRONT.

Petrograd, Russia, June II, via
arm wounds of the men at the front
is enormous, for men in trenches ex-
pose only their heads and arms.
Many hundreds are hit in the head
and death does not result from the
wound. Occasionally one may see
the slightly wounded walk back with
heads bound up or arms in sings.
Motor trucks loaded with wounded
tear along the roads leading back
from the extreme front. Perhaps
forty per cent of the wounded are
back on the firing line after three
months care and rest in a hospital
It all depends upon a mans health
and blood. If the blood is pure and
good, the soldier gets the first aid,
proper treatment and his wounds heal
by first intention.
Good blood is everything to every
man. It means fresh strong nerves
good digestion, good circulation
Those who have used DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery marvel at
the way it checks blood diseases. See
a man today with skin all broken
out; see him a few weeks later after
using the "Discovery," his skin is all
cleared up, eyes bright, and he is
contented with himself.
The foundation of good health is
good blood! Are you pale? Are you
weak? Are you no longer ambitious
or energetic? Have you pimples OF
boils? Do you suffer from headaches
low spirits? Then you are anaemie
your blood is thin, lacking in healthy
trength-giving red corpuscles. Then
your blood is impure-and your
liver is not up to it's task Of clearing
the blood from the poisons accumul-
ated.

X WHEN THE FARMER
X COMES TO BEMIDJI !

= = - = - - 20 - = =.
How do you greet the farmer when
he comes to Bemidji? -
Is your greeting such that he feels
that he is with us, but not of us?
Or is he made to feel that he is in
HIS town, among HIS people, and
with HIS friends? H.
The making or the marring of this
town depends greatly upon your at
titude toward the farmer when he
favors us with his visits.
He is the backbone of the COM
munity and without his aid and en-
couragement we would be an unsuc-
cessful business community.
The townsman is no better than
the man from the farm, and the
farmer can claim no superiority over
the townsman.
We are all human beings, with the
same aims and purposes in life, and
endowed with the same brands of
intelligence.
In fact, we are brothers of COM
mon community, the only difference
being that the one lives in town,
where life is little more diversified,
while the other breathes Gods pure
air in the green fields of the country.
Let us remember that we are
brothers, and sisters, and cousins,
and that the welfare Of one is vital
to the success of the other
When we ride out into the country
the farmer extends the hand of fell
lowship, bids us welcome, and hands
us a hearty "come again."
It is a delightful characteristic of
the man from the farm, for his greet
ing is sincere and his invitation is
from the heart.
But what of us when the farmer
comes to town?
Is our welcome on the same high
plane as his?
Is he made to feel and realize that
our smile is for HIM, and not for
the contents of his purse?
We Of the town are proud of the
farmers of this community, and of
their wives and daughters.
They are men and women of a high
order Of intelligence, whose integrity

Our Slogan:
"Bemidji $4,000
Population
in 1925"
Welcome! Welcome to Bemidji.

The City of Bemidji today joins
in the cordial welcome of Northern
Minnesota to the senators, represen-
tatives and other state officials.
This city is proud to be included
in the itinerary of such worthy Wis
itors and is anxious to plainly dem
onstrate it's recognition of the dis
tinct honor thus conferred upon it.
We have always entertained the
opinion that the proper way to in
sure a unanimity of effort through
out the state in the development Of
Northern Minnesota was to bring to
the knowledge of every legislator
and state official our actual needs and
our real resources. Every legislator
wants, above all else, to be just and
fair. OF this we are confident. And
it is also true that every public Off
cial in the state will always be alert
to aid in advancing the interests of
the state as a whole.
1t is, therefore, especially gratify-
ing to Northern Minnesota to note
the purpose of those who are now
visiting us to gain first-hand infor-
nation so that they may fairly, just
ly and conscientiously consider and
determine their attitude upon the
various projects that will inevitably
be presented, looking to the devel-
opment of the resources Of the state.
1t is certain to be long stride ahead
for Northern Minnesota.
In the acknowledgement of our ap-
probation of the visit paid us we
cannot refrain from extending our
most sincere thanks to Senators Nc
Garry and Nord for initiating and
carrying to such successful consum-
nation the idea of this crowning
project to aid not only us but all of
the people of the great state of Min
nesota
We hope that our visitors will be
so we'll pleased with Bemidji that
they will come again. Come often,
so that you may see the fresh en-
couragement and impetus that your
visit has given to the magic City
of the North"

wee little fellows, we sat on a home
made rug or footstool at grandms's
feet or on her lap, winter evenings,
and listened, breathless, to her sto-
ries of injuns and bears and ghosts
and things?
Such tales have interested chill
dren in all chimes and times. A Sc
ries of charming Juvenile stories,
Sandman Stories" written by Mrs.
F. A. Walker, have been secured
for use in the Message They will
be a boon to parents who have to
tell, ooh. just one MORE" every even

and will be appreciated by the faith
ers and mothers and grandpas and

Watch for these stories. We

BABY BEEF.
Start calves on grain before wean

Start calves on grain before wean-
ing.
A creep should be provided in the
pasture so that calves may have &C
cess to grain without being disturbed
by COWS, as it is very important to
start beef calves on grain before
they are weaned They may be kept
in separate lot into which the COWS
are turned twice day, if this meth
Cd 81 preferred. In this case there
will, of course, be no need for creeps
or anything else to keep COWS from
the grain which may be fed at such
times that the cows will not disturb
the calves.
The calves may be started on
mixture of two parts of shelled
corn to one part of oats by weight.
The oats may be gradually reduced
until none is being fed at the end of
eight weeks, but while this is being
done little old process linseed meal
or cottonseed meal should be added
and the quantity gradually increas-
ed until it makes up about seventh
of the weight of the ration. On full
feed calves should eat about two
pounds Of grain for every hundred
pounds live weight in addition to
good roughage. Well bred calves
handled in this way should be in
prime condition at the end of about
ten or twelve months. So says H. o.
Allison, College of Agriculture, at
University of Missouri.

Pettis county is the first in the
State to put into operation a plan
whereby the residents of rural dis
tricts may have the advantage of the
books in the Sedalia library. Lists
of 500 of the best books have been
circulated in all the schools of the
county. The children consult their
parents and a selection is made.
The teacher notifies the librarian and
the books are sent out by parcel
post. We like this idea. How about
the Mexico library instituting some
such order? 1t would look good and
tend to put us on right terms with
the good folks in the country.

NATURES GREAT ENGINE.
II Is The Tree-Why Don't We Plant
The Producing Kind?

The Mexico Message has received
the following note from the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. There are
some ideas therein we have advocat-
ed in these columns-more than
once. Note them. They are worth
while:
The most valuable land in the
world is in the Sahara Desert. 1t is
made valuable by the date trees that
cover every spot where enough water
can be had to make them grow. This
great land value comes because man
has there utilized the productive pow
sr of the tree, natures greatest en-
CINE of production. 1t is really re-
markable that we in the United States
have used trees so little to do our
work for us.
An orchard of black walnuts, or
shagbark hickories, or native hazels,
or Ohio Valley pecans, with trees as
good as the best wild ones now grow
ing, would be very, very valuable.
why don't we have them? Merely be-
cause we haven't noticed and haven't
thought. 1t is high time we caught up
with the people of the desert.
To help bring promising nut trees
to light, and thus start new indus
try, the Northern Nut Growers Asso-
citation is offering cash prizes of from
$40 toS50 for the best tree of black
walnnts, butternuts, shagbark hick-
cries, hazel nuts and northern pecans.
Send a dozen nuts from the best nut
tree of any kind that you know of to
DR.. w. C. Deming, Secretary of the
Northern Nut Growers Association,
Georgetown, Connecticut, and ask
for particulars of the prizes and rules
of the contest.
We hope some of our readers will
get these prizes, for there are some
very fine nuts produced in the terri
tory covered by the Message.
