The Pioneer is willing to wager that Northern Minnesota is the only part of the country where it is so cool in the summer that cottages are clos- ed and the occupants gone home. The Effect of the Carnival. Opinion among Bemidji merchants as to the effect the carnival had upon It is really too soon to tell as the business of the next two weeks should be taken into Merchants would do their trade is varied. consideration. well to watch their business for the balance of the month and by com- parison find out whether or not they want a carnival next year. It should also be taken into consideration that the school officers meeting and gun club shoots this week drew an un- usual number of visitors to the city. The Cow and the Creamery. Farmers everywhere are coming to realize that the co-operative cream- ery is the best kind of a home build- With it doing an active business, the farmer with a cow has a steady market the year around to which he can take his cream and get cash. The great trouble with the build- ing of farm homes in northern Min- nesota has been that the farmers had cash about one a year and for the rest of the time had to live on credit. This crediting caused them to sell fall crops as soon as they were harvested thereby causing a flooding of the market at one time and a consequent lowering of prices. By patronizing a creamery, a farm- er provides for himself a steady cash income which, with what he can raise from the farm, is sufficient to keep him from going into debt heavily. Under these more pleasant circum- stances, he is able to hold his fall crop until the market is right, in- stead of turning it in when thousands of others are doing the same thing and so breaking the price. For example, two farmers in the town of Frohn last fall, raised 400 bushels of potatoes to the acre each. One farmer was in debt to his trading store and the other was not. The farmer who was in debt had to sell his potatoes as soon as harvested and Teceived forty cents a bushel for them in credit on his account. ing institution. The second farmer held his until late in the fall and then got ninety-two cents cash for them at thé car door. Last fall, the Bemidji creamery was not in operation and the first farmer had no opportunity to raise cash as needed. This year, each one has an equal opportunity. A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the experimental farm at Grand Rap- ids, has pointed out the fact that when farmers do not support. their creamery but make dairy, butter at home, they force down_ the price of creamery butter and_will; eventually put the creamery out, of business. In that case, the farmers will again have to make dai_ry‘ hutter and it will be 2 familiar, expervience to see many pounds stacked on local grocers’ shelves and no market for the output. The Bemidji creamery has been paying twenty-five cents a pound for butter fat. The average cow in this country will give ten pounds of butter fat a week, so that the enterprising farmer can have a small cash income the year around. The cow and the creamery will be the greatest factors in turning the timbered sections of Northern Minnesota' into profitable farms, e THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

One of the odd things the visitor to Burma will notice is the large num- ber of bells about the pagodas. These bells are usually hung on sacred posts a few feet above the ground. They are sweet-toned, as all Burmese bells are, but they are not furnished with tongues. The worshiper who comes to pray before the pagoda strikes one of these bells with a wooden mallet. This is to attract the attention of the god. WORLD'S STAR FIBER-SILK If you have never worn Fiber-Silk hosiery and underwear you have some of the most satisfactory articles yet to wear.
