THIS IS FOR YOU.

The Bemidji Pioneer will, in the course of the next thirty days in­augurate a plan by which the people can secure a subscription to this paper without cost to them. Ar­rangements have been made with the chief manufacturers of staple grocer­ies and provisions of the United States, to place a coupon in each pacKage sold and those who buy the goods can have the coupons redeemed at the Bemidji Pioneer office in pay­ment for one years subscription. The plan is this, when you have col­lected coupons to the amount of a year's subscription, they will be tak­en on subscription. After you have become a subscriber, the Pioneer of­fice will still redeem the coupons,

by giving an order on stores for the

amount represented by the coupons aPPear at the New Orleans head

The best part of Mr. Carter's hap

trami county in particular, is on the eve of the- greatest industrial ac­tivity in its history.

With the readjustment of the here­tofore cumbersome state laws re­garding the sale of state lands, to­gether with the construction of more roads and the digging of proper drains, i s sure to come an endless stream of settlers who will find the advantages of the north far in ex-ces of their most cherished hopes.

This awakening is due primarily to the continued boosting of those who know this country's virtues and the expressions of Mr. Carter

the big ditch.

New Orleans and San Francisco are appealing to congress for gov­ernment aid, each declaring she was the first in the field and that each, for every reason that the mind can conceive, is entitled to Uncle Sam's O. K.

It probably dosen't make so very much difference to the people of Minnesota which city lands the prize If San Francisco wins it will mean a long and expensive journey for persons residing here to see the exposition, while the trip to New Orleans would be compantive-ly cheap. The middle west might profit by the crowds that would swarm westward, but if the show goes to the Queen of the South, it would seem more satisfactory to the river states, who have been loudly urging "Inland Waterways," which, of course, means a better channel for the Mississippi.

Anyhow the fight is interesting and just now the clash of arms is the loudest in Washington and when­ever the boosters for the California city make a special move to engage the attention of the congressmen the Louisiana delegation tries to "go them one better "

San Francisco headquarters is in the new Willard hotel at Fourteenth and F streets. New Orleans head­quarters are just across the street in the New Ebbett. Gaudy banners swung over the two business thor­oughfares flaunt the claims of the contesting cities; page advertise­ments in the newspapers set forth the same in blackface type; and al­luring literature, elaborating senti­mental and practical exposition ar­guments, is sent out from both head­quarters daily.

During the holiday season the San

Franciscans brought to the national

capitol several carloads of oranges

and large quantities of California

wine. A note accompanied each

case of fruit and sample of wine ex­

plaining that these were two of Cal­

ifornia's principal products.

It was pointed out that visitors to

the exposition would find lots more

of the same there in 1915.
