Harrison, one of| the few survlnng generals of the} Confederate’ States Army, was born near Savannah, Ga., March 19, 1841.} At the beginning of the civil war| he and his father entered the Con- tederate army and both rose to the| rank of brigadier-general. The son} was a colonel before he was twenty | years of age and a brigadier- generfll‘ before he was twenty-two, being thev youngest brigadier-general commis- sioned by the Confederate govern-| ment. After the war he removed tm Alabama, where he attained distine-| tion as a lawyer. He served several terms in the Alabama legislature and one term as a member of Congress. General Harrison is a lineal descend- | ant of Benjamin Harrison of Vir- ginia, one of the signers of the Dec-} laration of*Independence. Congratulations to: Sir Lomer-&ouin, Quebec states-| man, 51 years old today. William J. Bryan, three times can- didate for president of the United States, 52 years old today. Miss Alice French (“Octave Than- et”), well known author, 62 years old today. | The St. Patrick Number Under the head of Communica- tions today, the Pioneer printsa letter from a true Irishman. He read the St. Patricks issue. His| letter is good. Needs Bread. “It is reported that one of the fas- tidious newly married ladies of Deer River kneads bread with her gloves on. This incident may be somewhat peculiar, but there are others. The editor of the Times, needs bread with his shoes on; he needs bread with his shirt on; he needs bread with his ov- ercoat on; and unless some of the de- linquent subscribers to the old rag pony up before long, we will need bread without a d—— thing on, and Deer River is no garden of Eden in the winter time at that.” The North Dakota Primaries Attention of the country today is divected on the presidential prim- aries being held in North Dakota. This is the first time in the history of the country when the people have been given a direct opportunity to express their choice as to candidates. Both La Follette and Rosevelt are making claims to the state. Roose- velt believed that he had it but the recent visit of La Follette appears to have unsettled conditions somewhat. The result will be watched With in- terest by the people in general as well as the campaign managers. “Beautiful Bemidji” Recently there has been circulated through the business section of this city a-card board covered with ads and with “Beautiful Bemidji” at the top. Under the headline is a small cut showing a canoe on the lake and then follows five inches of reading matter—all that there is on the page of fifty-four display inches. Of the twenty-eight ~adds, nineteen were given by salooms. This kind of ad- vertising is ‘the worst enemy that legitimate enterprises have to fight. feel lmpoverished when a good prop- osition Is placed before them. It really is not advertising at all, but a nice little contribution to the abil- ity of some one to pull the wool over several pairs of eyes. The card spoken of is of doubtful value as an ad of the city. The advertigers squander their mon- On the S\mday School Lesson. The Pioneer has secured the ser- |vices of Rev. C. W. Toley for the writing of a series of articles on the international Sunday school lessons from ‘week to week. These articles \\|ll appear at the head of a special (l\\\l(‘h column, which will be run every Saturday night, and will cov- ler the lesson for a week from- the following Sunday. 1In the Weekly ‘Pioneer, Reverend Foley's articles will appear the Thursday before the |lesson is to be studied. The Pioneer takes pleasure in bringing the exper- ience of Reverend Foley to its read- ers in this manuer and believes that by printing the articles a week ahead in the Daily and three days ahead in the Weekly it will be doing a ser- vice to those interested in Sunday school matters. The first article will appear next Saturday night and will cover the lesson for Sunday, March 31. It will also appear in the Week- 1y Pioneer of March 28. COMMUNICATION The Pioneer allows its readers free expression over their signatures. It assumes no responsibility for such articles and their publication does not indicate agreement in their ex- pressed ideas. Contributions for'this column invited. Dear Sir: Arrah wana me gos- |soon!

Willlam Haynes tells an amusing ptory of the Scottish terrier’s appear- ance in Outing. He says: “1 always smile when I think of"an experience a Scottie and I had when [ was at the university. The dramatio club was presenting one of Pinero’s farces, and I was lucky enough to be playing the part of a young scape- grace. In one of the acts, I used to take a Scottle on the stage, and when not before the footlights she mounted guard in my dressing room—inciden- tally, she made things very uncom- fortable for one of the ladies of the company who came, in my absence, to borrow a filling of tobacco for his pipe. “One time I came back to my room to find it in an uproar. Two stage hands were plunged deep in discus- sion as to whether Betty was a dog, or a tame bear cub, a debate that was guite seriously complicated by a third stoutly maintaining that she was a coon. They had long since passed the retort courteous stage and were almost at blows, and I doubt that I could have convinced them, had .she pot spoken for . herself—her bark peing conclusive proof of her dog- hood.” . Auto Took Long Jump. ‘With the ease of a veteran hunter taking a hurdle, a Sydney, N. S. W,, taxicab recently cleared a 10%-foot ditch, landing on the opposite side with every tire burst, front doors telescoped, axles badly bent, and the framework strained and knocked out of gear. The chauffeur and inmates, however, were quite unhurt save for a gevere shaking. Workmen were en< gaged in taking out a culvert on the toad at this point, and had removed the decking. At moon they had left work to eat lunch in a nearby fleld; and it was at this juncture that the car came speeding along, the chauf: feur failing to notice the condltlnn of the road.

The loss to the people of the United States annually on account of bad voads would more than pay for their general and widespread improvement. ‘I'he burden of bad roads bears heav- fly upon the shoulders of the entire UNIMPROVED EARTH ROAD — MAXIMUM LOAD FOR TWO HORSE TEAM, ONE BALE OF COTTON, 500 POUNDS. people, for -such ‘roads mmunsu the, profits of the farmer because he must haul fewer loads, make fewer trips and marker his./products when the roads are passable and not when prices are best.

The average haul from farms to shipping points in the United States is about nine and one-quarter miles. The average cost of hauling on the country roads is about 23 cents per ton per mile. The total cost of haul- ing 265,000,000 tons would therefore be about $2.18 per ton, or a total of $572,930,000. The possibilities of saving~ by the improvement of the roads may be un- derstood when we compare the cost of hauling in Germany, France and Eng-. land with the cost of hauling in this country. The average in these three conntries is about 10 cents per ton per mile, and in many cases it is as low as 7 cents, If we cut the rate in the United States exactly in half by the improvement of our main roads we would still be 1% cents over the aver- age for the three European countries | named If we could do this it follows that our annual saving would be in the meighborhood of $250,000,000 on hauling alone. The wear and tear on horses and vehicles due to bad roads may seem a trivial matter until we take into con- sideration the fact that there are about 25,000,000 horses and mules in the United States, valued at $2,770,000,000 and about 1,500,000 carriages. buggies and wagons. valued a¢ about $83,000.- 000. If by the improvement of the roads the vehicles would last one year Jonger and if one-tenth of the amount paid out for repairs were saved the re- sultant sum would run far into the miliions. £ Property is much more valuable on an improved road than on an unim- proved road. This increase in the val- e of the land adjacent to the improy- ed road has been sufficient in ‘many cases to pay for, the improvement. An effort has heen made fo estimate the general increase 1n land values due to jmproved roads. and the average has been placed at someshere between §2 and $9 peracre.
