No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put-in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractia is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. : m‘v‘ PUBLISHED EVERY Ammoon" .

A A NN NP AN, Ofticial Paper Village of Bemidii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR A Da.ily Newspa per. The chief value of a daily news- paper in a city of the size of Be- midji lies in the evidence which it affords to the outside world of the push and enterprise of the ~ity’s business men. It is a standing advertisement to- all men of the fact that the city is one of no uncertain future. A daily newspaper, outside of the big metropolitan newspapers, must be supported largely by the city in which it is published. Such a paper is not worthy of that support unless it is of such a character as to attract attention wherever it is found, unless it is a live, up to date newspaper, thoroughly covering the local field, printing the news of the world the day that it happens and upholding with a virile pen the interests of the section from which it draws its support. The Daily Pioneer has been published now nearly two years and it has endeavored to be such a paper. That it has in large measure succeeded we have every reason to believe. It has been loyally supported by the great majority of the business men of the city and its general newsi- ness together with its profusion of fresh attractiyely displayed advertisements has called forth much favorable comment for Be- midji from the state press and from every stranger to the city into whose hands the paper falls. The two years experience has abundantly demonstrated the value of aliye daily newspaper to alive town. Damming Navigable Streams, The practice of damming nayi- gable streams by the government for the benefit of mill owners in the twin cities is one that threat- ens to result in inconvenience and loss to settlers living above the dams. In order to settle any such losses which may occur to the residents of this section the government has made an offer to purchase lands liable to overflow but the offer is accompanied by the proposal of an arbitrary price which amounts to practical con- fiscation of the land. The government offers $2 per acre for these lands. pittance this is may be realized when we stop to consider that the lands whidh the government wishes to buy are hay meadows and that upon these hay meadows the farmers of Itasca and Bel- trami counties are beginning to build up a stock raising industry. It is just this sort of enterprise which this country stands most in need of and to take away valu- able hay meadows from the set- tlers at any price or to cause them to be inundated every sea- son is a calamity which no one in this section can contemplate with equinamity. i The matter is now in litigation and we have faith that will event- ually be seftled as the interests of this section dictate. PERHAPS peace will have to be- gin at home with Russia. ;vvvvvww“ BITSINORTH Fheart, b EROM | COUNTRY THE LMM“ 0.

M. GREELEY The Stratagem of William. Will Baker had been a city farmer—one of those diligent youngsters who sows wild oats aud cultivates the seeds of dis- cord. To remoye him from soil- ed associates, his father had sent him north and planted him wpon a homestead amid God’s green temples. One year of pioneering had not reconciled Will to his fate. I am not kicking,”’ he wrote, “but if you come up and visit me, it might cure this lonesome feel- ing for awhile.” A few weeks later Mr. Baker Sr. arrived at Slabtown arrayed in a resplendant business suit and was met by his dutiful son. The former was a trifle discon- certed when informed that a visit to the claim embraced a ten-mile wallk. “Why can’t we drive out?”’ he demanded. “There are three reasons,” answered Willie. “First, the roads are impassible for teams, second, there is only one team in the country and they are doing nothing but starve, and third, there is no road.” “Well, then I will walk. I .| know all about pioneer life. I have had my share of it. I have walked fifty miles in a day, car- ried 200 pounds of burden on my back and shot an Indian every, forty rods. That was a time ‘when living in the country meant: something, my son. Let us set forth at once.” In vain Will tried to dissuade {him—night was fast approaching and the woods: were not suited for night travel, but the old gentleman insisted that they go g The Most Essential g Part of Business . . s q We are the oldest estab- lished Jewelers in Bemidji and the fact of our in- icreasiug business shows us that your confidence will not be misplaced . . .

Iam surprised that you are not supremely con- tent in this garden of the gods.” This is not a horror story, therefore I shall but briefly men- tion the incidents that followed one another so closely that Mr. Baker Sr. must have concluded that he was the victim of a wood- land conspiracy.

The bed was filthy and soon Mr. Bak er Sr. complained that he felt little animals running over him with red-hot files. For breakfast the travelers had out-lawed pork and sour beans. “Better grub thai I have at home,” said Will cheerfully. “We can get to my place in three hours. I know where we are.” “Willie, we are not going to your place. - We are going back to town, if the Lord spares us. You are going back to the city, and I hope you will behave your- self there.
