Enloted In the Postoffice st Bemid)l, Minnesota, as seconc class mattor. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YFAR I -DVANGE There'is a counterfeit two dollar bill in circulation. No relation to Bill Bryan of Lincoln. A nice present for mother to give father is a set of dishes; or if the lady is a musician, a piano. i Gt James A. Tawney will not succeed Secretary Ballinger if Secretary Bal- linger has anything to say about it. J° A. O. Preuss, the new insurance commissioner, is only 24 years old. It certainly pays to have three initials in )our same. It is discovered that Mrnneapohs messenger boys are using opium and morphine. What they need is a stimulant, not a narcotic. Those Sunkist, oranges from Cali- fornia are all right but they are out- classed by Beltrami’s Sonkist peaches. Boquets of any kind ap- preciated, girls. At Dennison, Iowa. a research worker found a tooth a foot square from a prehisteric elephant. That is almost as large as they feel when you go to the dentist to have one extracted. When things go to please the Min- neapolis Bellman and Girard Kansas, Appeal to Reason, the sun will rise at midnight, and the man 1n the moon will shave with a safety razor and wiggle his ears in glee. Ninety tons of powder have been stored in the basement of the capitol at St. Paul by Adjutant General Wood, but a match dropped into it would not cause as much havoc as the failure of the incoming legislature to pass a just reappoition- ment bill. Because it was a physical impos- sibility to set the type, the Pioneer the past few days has been compel- led to refuse advertisements from Bemidji business firms. There has been no attempt to crowd any single issue with Christmas gift publicity. The advertisement have come as a healthy sign of Bemidji’s prosperity and as the most substantial compli- ment to the Pineer in its effort to make the paper a credit to the town. The patronage from the advertisers meansgadded improvements to the Pioneer and as a real newspaper must of necessity be the town’s best friend a condition is produced that must be gratifying to all who wish to see the city and county advance. THERE'S A REASON. This from the Leader—tbat’s its name, not its description—-pub- lished at Hutchinson: “The state should be reappor- tioned all right—but such meetings as was held at Brainered last week don’t help matters any.” According to the last census McLeod county, in which Hutchia- son is located, has a population of 18,691, and is rzpresented in the state legislature by a senator and representative, Beltrami county with a popula- tion of 19,786 has neither a senator or represertative, No wonder the ‘“Leader” dosen’t believe in such gatherings as the Brainerd convention, PRIZE WINNERS.- What Minnesota can produce in corn, peas, pumpkins, squash, wax and string beans, pork and beans and tomatoes, was never shown tol| better advantage that at the covent- ion of the Minnesota Canners’ asso- ciation which has just closed its an- nual convention in the old state capitol, St. Paul. These products of Minnesota soil were entered in a contest for prizes amounting to $150 appropriated by the state at the suggestion of And- rew French, state dairy and food commissioner.
