You should have eaten, drank and made merry yesterday for today we have hash. The man who had to carve the tur- key doesn’t think so much of Thanks- giving after all. Senator Knute Nelson seems to be in line to have his picture printed in “Our Dumb Animals.” Skating was a popular sport yes- terday. Some went to the lake while others drank Tom and Jerry. New canals have been discovered on Mars but they don’t appear to be holding any expositions up there. Eberhart. and Santa Claus are mutual in one respect. They are both saying, “do they be- Governor lieve in me?” St. Cloud voted in favor of the commission form of government by an overwhelming majority. Wake up, Bemidji, you’re on your back. Seventy-six persons were shot dur- ing thie hunting season just closed. The worst part of it is that there was no good reason why the hunters should shoot each other for the deer was plentiful. YOU PROVE THEY WON'T. Our highly esteemed contemporary, The Eibbing Daily Tribune, one of the few Northern .Minnesota news- papers which oppose an extra ses- sion of the. legislature, calls upon those newspapers favoring such a move to produce proof that a’ reap-. portionment bill will pass at a spec- ial session. So far as the Pioneer is concerned, we feel that during the an abundance of evidence tending to show that such a measure speedily would be enacted into law. Also we would call the Tribune’s attention to the fact that the Congdon bill, which: by no means gave the representation it should, was the only one ever con- sidered by the senate. Will the Tribune be kind enough to offer some proof that the senate would not pass such a bill ‘as the Hanson measure, which was drawn by a southern senator and which provided practically one representative for ev- ery county? We will guarantee ‘to produce two southern senators in fa- vor of such a bill to every. soqthe' s senator the Tribune will produce who is opposed to such a measure: THIS FOR THE GIRLS. Not long #go, Rey: W. B. Millard, pastor of thé Morgan Park Congre- gational church at Chicago, . an- nounced teri commandments for boys. He now offers the following for girls: 1. Thou shalt not deceive thy mother. 2. Thou shalt not exchange the bloom of innocence for the favor and contempt of any man. 3. Thou shalt not esteem silk pet— ticoats and diamond rings as of a greater value than the family’s gen- eral welfare. 4. Thou shalt not regard flattery and false pretense as the highway to popularity. 5. Thou shalt not gossip. 6. Thou shalt not.use loud speech or bold manner to attract attention. 7. Thou shalt not think more of the culture of thy heels than of.thy head. 8. Thou shalt not hold the cup to thy brother’s lips, much less to the lips of the brother of another. 9. Thou shalt not imitate the fine lady’s: lanquor while thy mother washes dishes and sweeps the house. 10.. Thou shalt find joy in the service of God who created thee. Just at the moment when the Thanksgiving spirit prevails it is a good time for the girls to ponder ov- er the minister’s decalougue. It may help a lot. IT IS ALL WHONG. Robert C. Dunn’s newspaper, the Princeton Union, runs the following editorial: ‘We are rapidly growing into a north and south Minnesota. This is all wrong.—LeSueur News. “Sectionalism is to be deplored, and we agree with our LeSueur con- temporary that it is all wrong. The remedy for sectionalism in this state is simple—give to each and every county in northern, central and sentation in the law-making bodies of the state. This is a right guaranteed by the state constitution—a constitu- tion made and adopted, largely, by southern Minnesota people.- “The Union stands for a fair deal for every section of the state, not only in- representation in the légis- lature but in all other matters as well. for failure to reapportion the state since 1897. It ought to have been reapportioned in 1900. The pity of it is that the gross inequality in rep- resentation cannot be remedied be- fore 1913,—presuming there will be no extra session—and should the wrong be righted then it will be 1915 before northern Minnesota will come into its own. “No better illustration of the ty- ranny of majorities can be given than [the denying to northern Minnesota the representation it is justly en- titled to in the law-making bodies. {Men who claim to be ‘progressives’ tiative, referendum and recall, and adopt as their slogan the catching phrase, ‘Let the People Rule,’ with brazen-faced effrontery say to the hard settlers of northern Minnesota, ‘wait until we have partially dis- franchised the toilers in the large cities and then we will give you the representation you are fairly entitled to and which we have so long un- justly denied you.’ “These alleged ‘progressives’ do southern Minnesota equitable repre-| “There is 1o excuse or ]nsuficauon and voiciferously clamor for the ini- | provided one vote in the First and Third congressional districts counts for two in St. Paul and Minneapolis and in northern Minnesota. “If the constitution had imposed the duty upon the supreme court of reapportioning the legislative dis- tricts of the state on the basis of population every five .or ten— years, duty would haye performed? been impartially, There never has been a in this state that would have disregarded the mandate of ‘the constitution. - “When northern Minnesota, and every section of the state, is given equitable representation in the leg- islature then, and not until then, will the talk of ‘a north and south Min- nesota’ cease.” supreme court Bids for.

There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grand- mothers kept- their locks soft, dark and glossy by using a “sage tea.” Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appear- ance they made a brew of sage leaves and 'applied it to their hair, with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don't have to resort to old-time, tiresome methods of gathering the herbs and making the tea. This is done by skillful chem- ists better than we could do it our- selves, and all we have to do is to call for the ready-made product. Wy- eth’s Sage and Sulpbur Hair Rem- edy, containing sage in. the .proper strength, with the addition of sul- phur, another old-time scalp remedy. The manufacturers of this remedy authorize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be re- funded if it fails to do exactly as rep- resented. Don’t neglect your hair. Get' a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur today, and notice the difference after a few days’ use. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug- gists. 23 Huffman Harris &{Reynolds Bemild}l, Minn.
