COVE COMMENTS

In old Jersey there is a place
called the Royal Square with a
gildcd statue supposed to repre-
sent Charles the second. There
are lots of Royal places scattered
ELL over the British Isles but there
are some folks who do not have
much respect for them and one
bright morning found his royal
highness decorated with coat
oftar and feathers with the tar
pot inverted on his royal Uranium
some lese majestic. However the
most important event was fight
which occurred some one hundred
and forty years ago on this spot
when the French effected a land
ing in force under one Baron
Roulebart and made the governor
prisoner who signed a capitula-
ton. Now one Major Pierson was
the commander of a regiment of
llieland Scot and said that as the
governor was a prisoner he was
10 longer de facto governor so
they would fight it out and the
result was that the French got
caught between the Scots and the
Island Militia and We're badly de-
feated, the commanders on both
sides being killed. Now in one
corner of the square there is a
Pub. short for publice house OF
herwiSe saloon and dotted all over
the front are dots of the paint
brush to Indicate bullet marks,
and also the legend inscribed here
Pierson fell. Along side of that
there is another sign intimatng
that beer is twopence a glass, Civ
ing the impression to visitors I'M
aware Of the history that PierSon
fell for the beer or that the beer
fclled Pierson. However the fore
going is a round about way of

Local Business Men, and Their
Employees to Meet Monday
at Association Rooms
LONG PRAIRIE MERCHANT
TO ADDRESS GATHERING
Plans Will Be Formulated for
Next Market Day Here and
Date Will Be Set

Bemidji merchants and clerks have
a treat in store for them Monday eve
ming, June 6, at which time they will
be favored with an address by H. E.
Hart, Of Long Prairie on Business
Building Ideas" and "The Leading
Merchant and His job" -
/ Word was received =. this morning
that Mr.. Hart would, be in Bemidii
Monday evening at which time the
second monthly banquet will be held
by the merchants in the rooms of the
Bemidji Civic and Commerce associa-
ton. .,,.. -.
Mr.. Hart has addressed many bust
ness mems conventions and has ideas
which will prove Of great value to
merchants. He is president Of the
firm of James Hart and Sons of Long
Prairie, which did business of $41O,-
900 last year in town of 1900 peo-
|ple.
They handle line of general
merchandise, hardware, furniture,
machinery and drugs, and Mr.. Hart
will tell local business men what
methods were employed in working
up this volume of business.
The committee in charge is prepar-
ing an interesting program and urges
that all merchants and their clerks
attend this meeting. The message to
be brought by Mr.. Hart will bel of in
terest to the clerks as well as the
merchants themselves and each mer-
chant is urged to bring his force of
salespeople to hear this talk.
Bemidji is fast becoming the trade
center for miles around and the sue
cessful ideas put into effect in other
localities will, if. put into practice
here, enable .'Bemidji to draw trade
from even greater distance than is
now the case. >
In the past the merchant alone at
tended conventions, and on his return
did the best he could to convey his
ideas to his sales force, but was un-
able to drive home the important
points to his clerks in the same effec-
tive manner as will be the case when
the clerks themselves hear these mes
sages.
The plan Of the committee in ar
ranging these programs is to bring
the convention speakers right here to
Bemidji, so that all clerks and mer-
chants may derive the benefit.
The merchants are urged to at once
arrange with their clerks to attend
this meeting and to arrange for BAN
quet tickets for them, so that ample
table space may be arranged for. q
Plans will be discussed for the next
Market Day in Bemidji and the date
will be decided upon at this meeting.
