Evidently, the editor thinks the town is dead. Mason City, Iowa, reports thus far forty-eight cases of infantile paraly- sis, six of which .proven fatal. Of the balance abouta third “have re- covered, a third partially so and a third crippled for life. The doctors are unanimous in the statement that the disease which is infectuous and probably contagious, should be quarantined, and houses fumigated after the recovery or death of‘the stricken and no public funerals allowed. The world’s record cow is Joseph- ine, a Holstein, owned by the Uni- versity of Missouri, whose milk- giving record beats that of Johanna, her Wisconsin predecessor as :the record holder. Jonanna’s record for six months totalled 15,541 pounds of milk. Josephine’s total for the same period was 16,744-pounds. ‘Johanna’s best single month in her year’s test was 2,783 pounds against Josephine’s high mark for one: month of 2,960 pounds. If Josephine had pastured in Beltrami county there is little doubt but that she would have reach- ed the 3000 mark. Johnny Evers of Chicago Cubs says: ¢ In Mathewson the New York team has a great winning pitcher, In my estimation he is about the greatest man who ever tossed a baseball, and the -rest of the pitching staff is-strong and dangerous, In-spite of the fact, the Cubs, as a team, would rather go up against Matty than any of the big pitchers to-day. Insaying this, I do not mean to:except a number of weaker pitchers we are always confident of beating, but of the recognized big league pitch- ers to-day, Matty is our choice. My reason for making this rather astonishing statement, is “that Matty is a careful, steady, ¢« straight . pitcher. He always pitchés for the plate and does not try to intimidate a batter by such tricks as‘throwing for his head, or trying to graze chins, ‘We know that Matty has wonderful contral over the ball.” L. J. Parker, of Blackduck, called . up the Pioneer office: Saturday :and | gave us a roasting for not :mention- [and. take no ‘other. ing the carnival which was in his town last week. If Mr. Parker had only stopped to think for a minute, it is possible that our reason for not boosting his show might have come to him; we:didn’t know :they had one. At that, a street carnival ‘is about’ the - worst :thing that a town can entertain. It creates a false excitement -for three -or four days, and after it leaves, the ordi- nary. life-of .the -people seems flat. It is neither inspiring nor. morally uplifting; on the contrary, the opposite is usually true. It pays a small sum to the city for the prvi- ilege of using the streets, and leaves some money with but a few; but it takes much more out of the town than it brings-in, Itis a game in which the cards are stacked—against the town. ' We regret much thatithis opportunity of “boosting” Black- duck and its carnival was overlooked, but can blame only those who! had the publicity matters in charge. ‘There is too much going on at ' this little neighboring city to be able to watch all its doings without a word from it. ‘What helps 'Blackduck helps Bemidj: and we stand ready| at all times to give the growing little city a “boost.” Make your desires known neighbor, that’s all. FATHEROF. CONSERVATION Tawney. of ‘Winona -is about -as near the father of the present con- servation movement as anyone. ' Be- fore it was known by that name and before Pinchot emerged from obscur- ity Tawney was advocating the forest reserve for mnorthern Minnesota The only difference between Tawney and some other people is that he did not become daffy over the subject.— West St. Paul Times. It is rather comforting to hear some other man get his share of the abuse. The marriage market woud get a boom if widowers were as danger- ous as widows, Every town has at least one man who would shine as a mechanic if there were not something wrong with him, If women were easy to please they would lose half their charm, TO ‘PROBE ‘WHEAT CORNER Federal Grand Jury to Look Into Al leged Manipulation. Chicago, Aug. 4.—Federal grand Jury investigation into the recent “cor- ner” in July wheat will be started within a few days:in an effort to deter- mine whether the alleged manipula tors of the deal violated the Sherman anti-trust law. ‘W.

Am not afraid to trust my- self now. For this reason I did not get a chance to see them and get them to try. “Honestly, I would not have missed taking that cure for $10,000.- 00 and Mrs. (his wife) is better satisfied with it than Iam.

Although the Vatican is trying its best to avoid a camplete break with Spain Cardinal Merry del’ Val fears that Senor Canalejas, the Spanish pre- mier, will be forced, in order to satis- fy his extremist supporters, to still further accentuate his anti-Catholic policy, and the cardinal is preparing for the worst, The. note, which will be submitted to the papal congregation of extraor- dinary affairs, will not be given to the press here before its delivery to the Spanish premier at Madrid, to comply with the usual courtesies of diplomatic intercourse.
