Every line in its news and edi- torial columns has been produced by the recently installed Merganthal- er machine. In the past few issues a part o fthe matter used has been composed on the linotype, but this issue signalizes the passing of the an- tiquated and cumbersome system of hand composition. The clear, sharp appearance of the type is but one of the features and the- Mergenthaler. Its use means that more news can be printed in the same amount of space as the linotype slugs do not take up as much room as the old Then, too, the composition is much faster. When the Pioneer’s press today started in on its usual duty of grinding out new born newspapers, an epoch in the onward march of this journal had been consumated Sometime in the near future, after the holiday hustle of the compos- ing room is over, the Pioneer will hold a public reception to demon- strate the workings of the linotype. advantages of type. BEMIDJI'S RARE HONOR. There is a world of significance in the select.ion of Bemidj; A master General Hitchcock as the only 'place in Minnesota for the es- tablishment of a ' postal savings bank. ; In launching his new enterprise, Uncle Sam was careful to pick the town best adapted to such a -busi- ness. He wanted a place where the residents were sufficiently prosperous to have money to save and intelli- gent enough to want to save it. He cast his keen eye over the more than two million inhabitants’ of Minnesota and he found many hustling, In the southern end of the state he dis- covered well settled communities and he admired their frugal hard working citizens, but he passed on. He_swept his spyglass the larger cities of the commonwealth and here he found too much poverty; too many slaves for daily pittances drubbing away with their noses on the grindstone. Then he came to Beltrami county and he simply had to stop and strokel his whiskers while admiring the “We win” spirit of the northland. Here he found the smallest percent- age of destitution and the biggest percentage of energy, earning the greatest reward. This looked good to him and he resolved that here then he should busy places. over engage in his new business of bank- |; ing and Bemidji with her growing population and expanding volume of business had won another commcr- cial triumph. : 1t will be interesting'to follow the career of the government’s institu- We hazard the guess that Uncle Sam made no mistake when he decided to add a savings bank to his postoffice in this city. tution.
