NOT A SHELL GAME.

Advertising is not gamble. It is
not a shell game.
Results may be measured with alb
solute accuracy. The effect you wish
may be Produced Advertising is a
positive science. The largest con-
Germs have been built up by it. These
concerns employ the shrewdest men
money can procure and these men
continue to advertise. The burden
of proof, therefore, is that advertise
ing pays.
Thousands of dollars are taken out
of Bemidji each year by Twin City
merchants and mail order houses,
who are large advertisers. The mer-
chants Of Bemidji can get large
share Of this business if they will
only tell the public what they have
got for sale at money-saving prices
Mr.. Merchant opportunity not
only knocks at your door-it begs!
You cannot go out and tell the pub
lie what you have got. It would not
be dignified The Pioneer will carry
your message in a dignified and force
full manner.
The Pioneer goes where you can
mott is everywhere at the oppor-
tune moment. It works when you are
tired and 'fussy. It measures up full
one hundred per cent efficient all the
time.
Prove it yourself.

city clerk, city treasurer, assessor
and aldermen from each ward will

Bemidji. The abilities of every can

I ACCOMPLISH MUCH

Xxx Xxx X X k+<< xxx
In the shift of the political slate
that took place in the Twin Cities on
Monday that made a new map for the
pubic to study in reviewing the sit.
uation regarding candidates for pub
liz Office the Statement was made by
several of the city papers that G. A.
Lindbergh was to withdraw his fl
ing as a candidate for governor and
again come before the people for
congress and that G. B. Buchanan was
to be given some position that wo uld
be satisfactory to him. Nothing was
ever published that was farther from
the truth as the statement issued by
Mr.. Lindbergh in reply to sugges-
ton that he take such action clearly
showed that he in no wise considered
the matter.
Mr.. Buchanan was not approached
regarding change in his plans as
it was a we'll known fact that he had
fled for congress with the idea Of
continuing iii the contest until the
polls were closed, regardless of who
entered the race against him, and he
has not changed his mind in that re-
spect. Mr.. Buchanan is in no COM
bination and his campaign for the
Republican nomination will be made
in a clean, business-like manner
Mr.. Buchanan has received unsolic-
tied assurances of support from va
rious sections of the Sixth district
that shows the interest taken in his
campaign and which is an indication
that his friends are rallying to his
support in a manner that is very
gratifying and which will give him
la long lead on any competitor who
contests the nomination with him.
His nomination assured, the Repub-
licans of this district will rally to
his support and elect him by a ma
jority at the November election that
will be very satisfying.
Mr.. Buckman's previous experience
lin congress makes him valuable man
fer the district and once elected he
will be in a position to take up the
work he pushed so vigorously when
lie represented the district some years
ago.
His whole time will be devoted 20
the interests of his constituents and
those who know Mr. Buchanan are
we'll aware of the fact that he can
accomplish more for the Sixth dis
trict than any new man who might
be selected.
He is thoroughly posted on the
needs and conditions of this fast
growing commonwealth and his rec
ord for accomplishing things will go
a long ways with those who desire a
vigorous, hustling representative in
congress when they come to select
their standard bearer at the primary
election in June

saved for the city.
Many of the cities in this state are
now being governed under this
system and with much result. Still
water adopted new charter January
first and has already decreased it's
expenses over $4,000 by eliminating
unnecessary office holders: In that
city the government is delegated to
a council Of five citizens, the mayor
is president of the council, all are
elected at large by the people and all
serve without pay. Ward and pre-
cinct lines are abolished. The city
is considered as whole, insuring all
parts of the city equal representation
and consideration.
Bemidji needs new charter. Its
government needs a house cleaning.
Let us begin at once on a new char
ter so that by the 1917 city election
we will have a modern form of city
government.

PATRIOTIC SONGS.

From data just gathered by the
Metropolitan Opera company, these
facts are learned about patriotic
songs familiar to nearly everyone:
The national song Of the French,
the "Marseillaise," was composed by
Rouget de Lisle, captain of engi-
neers quartered at Strasburg when
the volunteers of the Bas Rhin re-
ceived orders to join Luckner's army.
They had no music, but at the sug-
gestion of Dietrich, the mayor of
Strasburg, De Lisle composed this
song on the night of April "a, 1892.
1t was subsequently sung in Mar
settles with immense success, hence
it's name. The song as it stands is
the greatest revolutic nary hymn in
the world. The French government
recently transferred the body of
Rouget de Lisle (who suffered impris-
onment for his revolutionary opinions
during his lifetime) to the palace
des -Invalides with great pomp and
ceremony.
The music of deutschland uber
allies" was written by Hayden in
1897. The present words were not
written until 1S41, by Hoffman Won
Fallersleben. At that time Germany
was not united into an empire as it
is today.
The ""Wacht am Rhein" was writ
ten by Max Scheckenberger, an obs
cure Swabian merchant, and the
music was by Carl Wilhelm The song
became popular during the Franco
German war.
The national hymn of Austria was
composed by Hayden and is known as
the "Emperor's Hymn"
The words of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" were written by Francis
Scott Key, an American prisoner on
a British man-'o-war during the
bombardment of Fort McHenry in
1914. The melody is an old English
drinking song
The words Of yankee Doodle" were
probably written by a DR.. Shuck-
burgh, a surgeon in the French and
Indian wars. Halliday, the anti
quarian, asserts the melody is derived
from a chant used in the Italian
churches of the twelfth century. It
is we'll known that the song was
vintage song in France and Spain,
and song of the reapers in Holland.
1t is also said to be founded on a jig
of 1745, known as kitty Fishers
Jig" The Cavaliers are said to have
used it in ridicule of Cromwell, just
as the British used it against the
Americans.
The origin of "America' -the tune
of "God Save the King in England
and Hell der i'm sieges Kranz' in
Germany-is in doubt, though it is
often ascribed to DR., John Bull, an
Englfshnan. 1t is also ascribed to
Henry Carey.
The Russian national anthem,
God Protect The GAR IS one of the
most majestic of hymns. It was com
posed by sColine1 Alexis, an officer in
the Russian army, in 1882, to words
by the poet Jonkowsky. It is prob
ably the only inspired national song
ever "Written to ORDER $780, tai.
