. TELLS STUDENTS
PRESBYTERIAN Pastor Gives In.
teresting Talk Before Be-
midi Business College

t'Character Building" was the sub
iect discussed by Rev. Lester P. War
ford at the regular Friday afternoon
lecture course of the Bemidji busi-
ness college, and he brought out some
especially strong points which great
ly impressed all who heard his in
teresting talk. Habit is an import
ant element in character building
and everyone should be careful to
develop habit groves along the right
lines as habit accumulates energy
in whatever line it is directed till 1t
will dominate the will,' said Mr..
Warford.
= Rev Warford went on to say that
business is a development of habits
that are established by repetition
and association. Those habit groves
that have to do with particular
line OF business should receive parti-
cular attention by the person first
startling out in the commercial world
especially the grove Of exactness,
cheerfulness and honesty.
I'VE should not forget to advance
our soul-habits by reaching for the
best in life till it becomes automatic
and so we establish character he

HISTORIC WEIMER DOES NOT
WANT CAPITOL OF GERMANY

l. With their interests centered en-
tirely on things, cultural rather than
political. and with their minds filled
with the best from the best from the
past rather than social and political
prospects Of the future, folks in Wei
mar viewed with apprehension the
installation of dozens of telephones
in the theatre, the filing Of the high
school with telegraph instruments
and typewriters for the press, and
the arrival of soldiers and policemen
to guard against political uprisings.
The beautiful old Saxon castle was
taken over by the government. and
packed full Of people. where 1t had
formerly been almost deserted al
ways The snow blanket that
covered Weimar was continually
stirred TIP by the ten per cent in
crease in population. said ten per

made Weimsr seem unrestfui and
uneasy.
Fortunately, Weimar has always
been accustomed to visitors and has

There are more than fifty hotels
in Weimar. and these were quickly
packed. The city government took
charge Of the room and food situa-

not bother anyone.

CARL0AD.L0TS
IS SUGGESTED
Mcclure Tells Farmers They
Should take Advantage of
Land Clearing Plan.
LAW GRANTING LOANS.
OF MUCH BENEFIT
Dealers Glad to Cooperate;
Large Saving Possible in
Purchase of Explosive.

A. J. Mcclure, one of the most
active and enthusiastic extension
workers of the University of Mimi
esota Agricultural School, who was
in Bemidji Friday while enroute to a
farmers institute meeting at Solway,
believes that farmers will make no
if they clear as much land as
possible this year even though dyna-
mite is high priced, basing his theory
on the high cost Of farm products
at this time.
Dynamite is priced this spring by
local dealers at from 22 to "a cents
per pound in small lots," says Mr..
Mcclure "Thirty per cent is pric-
ed at 22 and 40 per cent at "a.
This is high priced, and many farm
ers will not clear the amount of land
they should clear on this account. But
with the high price Of most farm
products, it will pay as well to clear
land this spring as it has at any time
with cheaper dynamite. And it will
also pay to get around this high price
of dynamite in so far as possible.
"Local dealers will generally buy
for. farmers in car load lots at re-
duction of 81 per hundred, when
farmers cooperate to the extent of a
car load and pay cash. This is a big
saving and should be taken advant-
age, ,iof, With the$number of weR or
ganized farmers clubs that are
around Bemidii, there should be no
trouble in getting sufficient coop
Grafton to order car of dynamite.
~ Need Carload Here.
IA car load is 10000 pounds. Two
hundred farmers ordering 100 pounds
each would fill the order for a car.
There are easily that many farmers
who come to Bemidji, and easily that
many farmers who could use this
amount of dynamite to advantage.
"With a saving of $4 per 100
pounds on a car load, there would
be a saving Of $500. If this saving
is made and put in to additional dyna-
mite, it will mean the clearing up
of an additional SO acres of land.
81 believe it will also pay to use
the 80 per cent dynamite. and save
So per hundred on this. have found
the 80 per cent dynamite just as ef-
fective for blowing out stumps as
the 40 per cent.
Remember that we have law
authorizing town boards to buy dyna-
mite. Between cooperation and the
purchase by township boards, there
should be no one paying the high re-
tail price for dynamite in small lots.
Local dealers are generally glad to
help secure the lower price through
car purchases"

STEVENSON PLANS
POST ZONE REPEAL
Minnesota Solon Sees Partial
Return to Former Basis
of Pound Rates.

Repeal of the zone scheme of the
postage on second class mail matter
by the next congress is predicted BY
Halver Steenerson Of
Crookston, who has been chosen by
the republicans to head the postoffice
committee of the. next house. 80,
Representative Steenerson has not
yet drafted legislation to effect the
repeal of the zonal plan, he said to-
day, and will not do so until hear
.ings are held before the house COM
mittee. ; These hearings will develop
strong differences Of opinion among
the publishers, Mr.. Steenerson pre-
dicted, judging from the character Of
the petitions and letters reaching his
office.
II don't believe that we will ever
60 back to the cent pound basis, y
Mr.. Steenerson said. "Under that
rate the government was transport
ing a great quantity of second class
matter at loss and l do not believe
congress will want to resume that
loss in view of the heavy burdens
placed on the government through
war expenditures. In it's place we
may enact a plan which will elimin-
ate the zones and will collect post
age on the basis Of the quantity of
matter mailed"
