Cooperative Trading Festival to Be
Be Held in This City December

TO ADVERTISE BEMIDU
AS A TRADING CENTER
...ATa
Stores to Offer Inducements and
Prices That Cannot Be !,
Surpassed.

Bemidji will hold a "Co-operative
Trading Festival" Dec. II to 20.
Bemidji merchants have been pre-
pairing for weeks for this festival and
they will offer inducements in the
way of goods and prices that cannot
be surpassed or even duplicated in
any city or town in the state. They
also will refund railway fares to out
of-town buyers.
The reason for the festival is to
advertise Bemidji as trading GEN.
ter
Under the plan the shoppers from
out of town will be offered refunding
sheets to five per cent of every pur-
chase, which will be paid in cash to
the amount of the railway fare when
presented at the office of the Bemtdji
Pioneer. The Pioneer will act as a
clearing house in refunding fares
for all stores.
The only condition to receiving
railway fares is that the aggregate
purchases reach certain small total,
which will, of course, vary for the
various number of miles travelled.
Fares will also be refunded to all
persons who, from a distance equal
to any of the surrounding towns,
drive to Bemidji to trade during the
festival. For instance, a person re-
siding in Solway, who would drive or
motor to Bemidji to attend the fes-
tival will get the price of a railroad
ticket provided that his purchases
amount to the required sum.
Refund sheets can be secured at
refund stores or at the Pioneer Office.
The refund stores are Abercrombie
& McCready, George T. Baker & Co.,
Barker's Drug and Jewelry Store, c..
e. Battles Hardware store, Bazaar
store, Huffman & O'Leary, Bemidji
Pioneer, Carlson's Variety Store,

Modern Short Story.

A commendable frankness, at least
is to be found in the recipes which va.
rious magazines of America have print.
ell for the benefit of their potential
contributors. No longer can the con.
tributor be left in doubt concerning
the demands of the ordinarily close
mouthed editors.
The millennium has apparently been
reached and stories can now be man
ufactured with the same readiness and
by the same process as ready-made
clothes. Not until this branch of art
became thoroughly commercialized in
our own proud twentieth century did
it attain to the lofty rank of an exact
science. In the old days when crude
methods prevailed, the poor short
story was the victim of certain well
meaning blunderers, such as Maupas-
SAINT and Poe and Hawthorne, who de-
MED any knowledge of the formulas
which the magazines now print broad
cast, and puttered and fused over
such petty details as truth originality.
style, construction and philosophy.

Women,s Clubs in Yucatan.

In the state of Yucatan, under the
civil and political liberties granted by
Governor Alvarado, the women have
thrown off the shackles. A congress
of women was recently held at Merida,
capital of Yucatan. More than 700
delegates were in attendance. The
discussion covered educational, social
and religious progress. At this con-
gress a movement was inaugurated
for the establishment of many new
schools in the more remote localities
of the state. The women Of the cit
les, towns and rural communities are
to be organized into clubs for the
purpose of aiding in the uplift plan.
It is claimed that the women or
Yucatan are as a class more highly
educated than those of any other state
of Mexico. Many OF the Weather
families educate their daughters in
Europe and the United States and
1t is this advanced element OF soci-
ETY. that is leading in the movement
to obtain reforms in the educational,
social and religious systems of their
native country.

CHAPTER XVI-Continued.

Gerry still waited. 1t was terrible
TO wait Then she called to him,
"Geree! Gereer He leaped up
and pounded on the door but nobody
came. Yesterday they had all been
servile to him; today he was nothing.
He shouted, Il am here! l shall al
ways be here" She did not call again.
He paced up and down the veranda
saying to himself, "a little roll of blue
ribbon-a little roll of blue ribbon!'
He stumbled on the saddle that Lieber
had sent him. 1t held his eye. He
picked up the bride and ran down to
the pasture. He caught the oldest and
gentlest of the horses, opened a gap
in the fence and led him out. Then
ne called Bonifacio. Listen" he said,
s'you must take the latest of the
steers-the red one with the blazed
face-you must drive him into town
and sell him."
The darky demurred. ut Is too late
for market, master"
at does not matter You must do
as / say" said Gerry angrily. You
must sell the steer. If you cannot
sell him you must give him for blue
ribbon. Do you understand? You
must bring back blue ribbon for your
mistress. She says you must have d
little roll of blue ribbon"
Hours passed and Bonifacio re-
turned. He laid little package and
some money beside his master. He I'M
saddled the old horse and turned him
into the PASTURE then he came back,
sat down at Gerry's feet and slept.
Gerry looked with wonder on his nod
ding head. Then the door opened and
Dona Maria came bustling out Come
IN" she cried; thou art the father OF
a man child"
Gerry went in and knelt beside the
bed. Margarita looked at him and
smiled family, proudly. HI laid TIE
little roll OF blue ribbon in her weak
hand. She turned her head slowly
and looked down. She saw the CLINT
of blue and understood. She turned
her eyes. swimming black pools in a
white, drawn face, to Gerry. To sac
rifice she added alteration.
