If it will only rain the farmers of the middle west can patiently wait for their congressmen to come home about corn-cutting time. Missouri farmers are now going extensively into the business of raising tobacco, and the trust can be depended on to show them. The Thief River Falls News bas discovered that there is to be a great fight made in Polk county to down Senator Stephens, to prevent that delegation from indorsing Kaiser, of Clearwater County for state treasurer. The fact of the matter is that no great opposition to to Mr. Kaiser for state treasurer exists in his old home county of Polk, where he has friends enough to see to it that he will carry that convention with an overwhelming majority, The Sunbeam. Al Jester, the well known Bemidiji boomer, who is a candidate for the Republican senatorial nomination in the Sixty-first district, has issued a statement in which he sets forth his belief that reapportionment is the paramount issue, and its realization is necessary for the development of Northern Minnesota. Good roads and bridges are declared to be needed before successful coloniza- tion enterprizes can be carried on, and he urges a general property one-mill tax for a good roads fund, also a one-mill tax on state lands for the purpose of building highways. Home investment of state funds, rural agricultural high schools, ad- vertisement of Northern Minnesota opportunities among homeseekers and better forest fire protection are among his platform planks.—Brain- erd Tribune. The investigation committee ap- pointed recently by the Senate, will have no doubt,a very salutory effect upon the American people. That committee will have so many things to deal with, that they can but give the whole subject a cursory glance. And though the packing firms, and railroads, and all the other interests that control the mar- kets, and force the prices sky-high, will be thrown strongly in the lime- light, some light may be thrown on the entire problem, by considering the extreme -tendency to national extravagance in our domestic habits, If we could only see how far we have traveled from our fathers, who amaze us now with their former simplicity and frugality, we ahall see to what extent we are respons- ible for the present conditions. We shall the more readily see that an automobile age which mean sheer luxury, must bring other evils, if they may be called evils, which must be paid for in cold cash. With this view in mind, the investigation may prove a valuable lesson to our people. y If people would only talk as much as they think anti-noise societies could go out of business. — - The world is growing more truth- ful. We never hear now about boys studying geometry and eating pie simultaneously. You cannot mitigate the effects of an accident by remaining silent or lying about it. The woman who gets the last word is entitled to great credit for patience. DARK HORSE IS LEADING IN THE GONTEST TODAY [Continued from First Page.] scriptions must be in this office by 10°30 P. M. on Saturday next, April 13th. These are the rules of this offer and if you want the double votes and the photos it is up to you to work hard and obtain enough sub- scripfions to the weekly or daily pioneer to win them. Mr. Hakkerup’s Offer. Mr. N. L. Hakkerup makes an offer to the ladies of the Northland who are candidates in the Pioneer’s Contest as outlined elsewhere in this issue. It is very unique in every particular, and it was .only after a great deal of thought and careful consideration on the part of the management of the Pioneer and Mr. Hakkerup that it materialized. The management of the Pioneer, know- ing that Mr. Hakkerup does the most of the photography work for the ladies of the Northland, knew therefore that his offer to the ladies who are contestants in the Pioneer’s contest would be fully appreciated as his work in the most artistic, up-to-date and finished that can be produced anywhere. He has had thirteen years experi- ence in the foremost studios of the United States. He was connected for some time with Morrison’s Studio in Chicago, aeknowledged to be the largest and most important Studio in the world today. This Studio’s reputation for high class work is so well known that what we say would add little to it. And it is also needless for us to say none but the most accomplished and experienced artists are in it’s employ. Is not this recommendation enough for Mr. Hakkerup?. Anyway we know; you know and everyone else knows what Mr. Hakkerup's photos are the finished work of an accomplished artist. Itis needless to say more. $2500 IN PRIZES.

Is Crowded and Measures * Raeported for Adeption’ by Public Lands Committee Would Not Be Reached in Any Other Way—Favor- _able "Report ‘on' Bill Autherixing Citles to Purchase Public Lands for Park 8ites. ‘Washington, April 14.—The house committee on public 1anids has decided on a favorable report on the bill au- thorizing Western oftles adjacent to public lands to purchase for park site purposes areas of land limited to & section, such land to be outside the classification of ofl and mineral lands. Representative A. J. Volstead said the committee, of which he is a mem- ber, was driving ahead with all con- servation measures, to get them on the house calendars. It is believed by the committee that a rule will be necessary to get the withdrawal bill from the calendar and put it on its passage through the house. This is not due to disinclination on the part of the house members to consider the bill, but because the house calendars are crowded and there may not be a sufficient number of Wednesdays re- maining in the session to dispose of all the measures on it, without spe- ofal rules. 8pecial Rule Probable. Mr. Volstead said he did not think there would be difficulty in getting from the ccmmittee on rules a special rule for consideration of the with- drawal bill, or that there would be op- position in the house to its passage. A large majority of the house mem- bers, both Democrats and Republicans, have announced their intention to sup- port a withdrawal bill, the contest over it to come on the provisions of the bill and the breadth of authority to -be vested in the president. There is a movement also to protect those who have entered on lands with- drawn and made improvements under the belief such withdrawals would not be final. It is urged such parties should be given opportunity to prove an équity in their claims and to prior rights on the claims should the land be restored-to settlement.
