It wouldn’t be so very strange if some one were to shoot a govern- ment agent for a moose. Bob Dunn refuses to become a candidate for speaker. Bob would rather speak than to be spoken to.

Snakes are on the increase in Minnesota according to universjty statistics, Notin the northern part of the state, thanks to “‘Pussyfoot.” Two Silver City, Iowa, men sold ten ears of corn, which had won $275 in prizes, for $105. That’s nothing, in a few short weeks just the juice of those ten ears would bring that much up here. PRIZES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. Joseph Chapman, a Minne. apolis banker not iong ago offered a series of prizes for the best essays on ‘*“Why Should I Remain on the Farm,” "Charles M. Loring, of Min. neapolis, thinks = that. along with this discussion - there should go a discussion of the counter proposition. . Therefore, for the best articles on the topic, «“Why I Remain on: the Farm;” he ofters g1oo in prizes, as follows: First, g20; second, $15; third, gro; next ten best, g5 each; fourteenth, $3; fifteenth, $2. The competition is open to-all Minnesota boys and girls in- the seventh and eighth grades,- living on a farm, Essays must be - writ: ten on riled paper.. They should not exceed 500 words in length. Each must be marked- with the name, age and post-office address of the writer, and be mailed’ so:as to reach the Extension: Division;: St. Paul, not-later.than: Jan. 1, 1911, ' OH J0Y! There is at least one reason why we can begin giving thanks early Thursday morning and keep it up all day. Women’s hdts dre to be smaller. The new decree providess that “small and medium sized. models” shall become popular and adds:that the . demand “'is. good for small hats of every kind. They are shown in velvet, long and short napped beaver, plush and French felt.” It is.a - pleasure to.note.-that: the demand isgood and if mere man dared he would say: “‘Good for the demand?” These - latest- arrivals— meaning small hats—show upward rolling brims. and - some of the. smaller numbers have brims which roll up all the way around, while the medium sizes frequently show the roll on one side, only. This is- another triumph for the men. The recently popular 14 story: leaning tower of Pisa, ship-wrecked coal scuttle, polyhedron creations. were-noted for their- “roll,” but it was from Daddy’s pocket. Our millinery authority glibly con- tinues: “The new turbans of pressed beaver -and velvet have upturned brims and require wvery little trim- ming of any kind,” To the devoted husband, who has been in the habit of being *‘trimmed” every time -a hat is purchased, this last bit of information is as welcome as a message that wifie’s mother will be unable to come. THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE FIGHT. Anything linked. with. the. liquor question, for reasons. unnecessary. to mention, is of more than ordiaary concern to the readers of the Pioneer, and it, therefore, appears. appropri- ate that we reproduce the following signed statement by J. P. Young- dahl, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Minnesota, in “The Minnesota Issue,” the League’s official organ: “The fight is over. The smoke of battle is beginning to clear snd we can see where we stand. The struggle through which- we -have just come, has been one . of the hardest ever fought, and will no doubt long be remembered. “We have made tremendous gains. Many. of .our worst enemies now sleep in political graves and in their places the temperance people have splendid men, who' can be trusted. Altogether we have gained about 20 men in the house and about 6 in the senate, We believe that we will pass our bill through the House and we have a good fighting .show in the Senate. We will now begin our fight in the Legislature, “While we ‘are extremely sorry that Mr. James Gray went' down to defeat, after having espoused our cause, and while it would have .been a great deal easier for us in the next legislature had he been elected, yet, we accept the people’s verdict with- out murmur. “At this time we desire heartily to thank all our friends who have aided in the forward step that our cause: bas taken this year. We desire to most heartily thank the Christian ministers and the churches who have supported us so nobly. May God bless you. At the same time we de- sire to heartily thank the laymen, who have given of their:time and of their money to forward our cause, and last, but not-least do we desire to thank the men, who. have stood squarely upon our issue, whether they have been elected or defeated, sacrifice. *A hearty thanks toall who have " | contributed to the suecessful forward step, and. now let us:once: more buckle down in the harnessfora new strong power, with faith in God .and in the people of Minnesota.~ When our people learn to stand together regardless of friendship and party affiliations, we will: win.” Yes, the fight is over-and-the con- test probably will long be remember- ed—at least by Mr. James Gray. However giving Mr. Youngdahl due; allowance for his enthusiasm and, roper discredit on *‘tremendous gains”, the:fact ‘remains that-the County Optionists did make-a strong for their heroism and courage and |- for ‘your drinks?—Itasca Couu!y independant.

Where to Get Cheap Meat. A local meat dealer was: told the other day that the newspapers: had reported a big reduction in the price of meat. The meat dealer’s retort was: "Go to the newspapers and buy your meat.”—Moorhead Inde- pendent. Cancer “"Cures.” How about the innumerable can- cer cures? So- far- all- have been: tried and- found: wanting. Today there is nothing known that is better than surgical operations on those that can be operated upon, though X-rays-and radium- have-been used with great success on: certain super- ficial forms. Coley’s fluid, by which canceris combated by : the: use::of : germs of erysipelas, has met: with: only a very: small success.. Dr. Beard’s much- talked-of trypsin cure has been found practically valueless. Dr. Doyen’s serum - has- convinced - no one : but: himself. Recently a new method was announced by thelate:Dr. Hudenpyl, of New :York.. He employed a serum: derived . from the: fluids:of a woman who had a cancer:which: cured:itself spontaneously. Patients seemed-at first to improve under it; and the newspapers and magazines exploited: it. But within “the past- few weeks; after elaborate -trials, : it - has' been pronounced: useless. Some:of:the patients have ‘died .in. spite of it; others have got no better. That:is the usual history of *‘cures”—the papers tell of them, but they never tell. later how- they: fail—From “Triumphs - of -Medicine” in. the December Metropolitan 'Magazine: Across the Hall. “Say.-Snibbs; let me-use your phone; will you?" “Sure. What's the matter with yours?’ “It's all right: 1 want to- telephone to my wife that I'm going to bring a man from out of town to dinner.” “Well?” “He's sitting-in my. room now, and T hate to: have him watch my face when my wife tells. me ‘what she thinks-of the - proposition.” — Cleveland: - Plain Dealer.
