WANT A RAISE?

. Roger w. Babson in Milwaukee Journal There
was a chap named Smithers who rose in the great
world Of commerce to the exalted position Of book
keeper He made this progress in just eleven years
by doing just what he was paid to do, and not one
mite more. Smthers was consistent chap and this
idea Of getting before-you-gve" had become a
habit with him. One Sunday Smithers went down
cellar to feed the furnace He decided to aicker
with it just Is he dickered with the boss so he
opened the door, got shovel Of coal, and said to
the furnace: SNOW, you give me some heat, then
I'll give you this coal"
The poor dub froze to DEATH
He didn't know that the first law Of nature re-
quires that you give before you get. Seeds must
be planted before the harvest. If we want more
money, we must first give helping measure of
service for our present salary.
If We want raise, we'll never get it by follow
ing the Smithers plan. We will get more money
only by doing more than are paid to do. There
are no crop failures in the field Of service. Your
boss doesn't determine your salary You do!

OIL INSPECTORS INSIST
ON C0kTAlNER SIGNS

The Division of Oil Inspection Of
the Minnesota Dairy and Food Com
mission are calling the attention OF
deputy oil inspectors to the necessity
of enforcing the law regarding dis
playing of signs on containers. Cir
culars sent out contain the following
Instructions:
Some time ago all deputy inspec-
tors were supplied with signs to be
used for such purposes and were in
structed to inform all dealers that It
was their duty to see that such signs
were always kept on the containers.
The conditions now demand speedy
action and you are hereby instructed
to notify the men in charge of all
retail places that these signs, show

on every container where gasoline
Is drawn from.

THE GREAT AMERICAN COW.

Nothing is going to make the northern portion
of Minnesota more prosperous in years to come
than the products Of the This is particularly
true of Beltrami county. It therefore is Of i'm
portance to US that we thoroughly appreciate the
value Of our dairy products.
Among the American manufactures to be carried
to the uttermost ends of the world has been
product of the farm-mk in the form Of condensed
milk, butter and cheese.
Eghty-four billion pounds Of milk were pro-
duced in a single year in the United States. This
huge amount was produced from 2,76S00 cows.
Figuring the price of milk at three and oue-haH
cents pound the value Of the milk would be over
three billion dollars.
Forty-one per cent Of the milk produced was
made into butter Five per cent was made into
cheese Two and nine-tenths per cent was made
into condensed milk products. Three and seven
tenths per cent was made into ice cream.
The great dairying states are: Wisconsin, with

B. H. S. needs gym badly and should have
one, and long as new addition is to be
built why not include large modern gym in it?
The present socaled gym at the high school, which
is being used a manual training room, is
2x4 match box with nice steam pipes and sharp
bricks for walls. What Bemidji should have is
a brand new high school, but there seems little
hope of ever convincing the school board, at least
let's have good gymnasium.
Only those who are lucky enough to make the
first and second team receive any physical benefit
out of school while if had gym regular classes
could be formed, giving everyone a physical as
we'll as mental education.

Industrial developments depend on
two factors: Natural resources or raw
materials, and proximity to markets
for manufactured products. Granted
these and sufficient encouragement
development inevitably follows.
oregon has the raw materials and
natural resources, It will be the
purpose of the State Chamber of Com
merce under its expanded program to
acouaint the world with these facts,
and through direct solicitation, get in.
dustrial management to consider Ore
gon as a site for their industries.
Furniture and wool manufacture In
Oregon are in their infancy, So is the
canning and preserving Of fruits. With
its vast resources in water power, Its
labor market, geographical location,
Oregon offers many advantages to the
manufacturer who, however, must first
be interested in Oregon and know its
advantages.

rigate 4,000, 900 acres of land now un-

WORLDS POOREST CITY
is MADE RICHEST
BY TOURIST TRAVEL

From the poorest republic IN the
world to the richest is what tourists
travel did for Switzerland. That little
republic practically unknown century
aeo Is now recognized the world over
as a playground for tourists because
Its scenic beauties were capitalized.
Data showing what the tourist busi-
ness has done for Switzerland has been
prepared by Alfred A. Aya representing
The Swift interests in Oregon and
turned over TO the Oregon State Cham
ber of Commerce TO be used In connec-
lionwith its statewide expansion cam
paign now in progress,
II has a direct bearing on the cam
paign by reason of the fact that one OF
the chief arguments being used by the
state Chamber is that cities are spend
ing huge sums to advertise their IN
terests along civic industrial lines.
In the article prepared by Mr.. Aya
showing the economic value OF tourist
travel he says:
ut is estimated that tourists an
nually spend more than $75O,OOo,OOo IN
the United States. OF this sum 1t Is
estimated Maine and Colorado receive
close TO S50.Oo0,Oo0; the New England
states close to $1o0,00O,0O0; Florida
close 10 5000, 900 zoo and southern Cali
fornia close to 100000, ,00O-while in
1918 II was estimated that Oregon with
scenery second to none in the world
received less than S5,OoO,OOO from TINS
source.
"The best example in the world OF the
possibilities of the tourist business Is
Switzerland, with an area OF 1890
square miles, or about one-third larger
than Harney county in eastern Oregon.
"The Swiss did not consciously begin
development of the tourist business
until about 100 years ago, starting
with the single guest in the spare
room until today the little republic
has, according to the latest hotel guide,
$50 hotels and doubles It's population
annually through the tourists. II Is
said the little village of ST. Moritz has
few over fifty native population, but
27O0 beds for tourists"
Specific cities cited by the state
to advertise their possibilities include
Chamber that are spending huge sums
san Francisco which is now raising a
fund of s25o.OOe; Seattle now engaged
in raising $25O,000 and New Orleans
which put 100000 into an advertising
campaign.

Oregon has 100000 acres of till
able land now uncultivated.
Oregon produced 20,4OO,000 bushels
of wheat in 1919.
If oregon's 100000 acres of till.
able but uncultivated land were planted
in wheat and the yield we're the Ore
gon average for ten years-21.s bushels
per acre-new production would be
$50, 10000 bushels which, at the price
today Of So per hushel, would mean
cash value of S1,051, 200, 900.
The Oregon State Chamber Of Com
merce expects to double the number
of farmers in three years. II this
means double the wheat crop, It will
mean an additional yield Of 20,40o.o0O
bushels of wheat. which at the pre-
yailing price would mean cash value
in new money of s61.20o,000.
