DENU_ HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. Field for Eberhart. Governor Eberhart is a conspicu- ous figure in the New Ulm celebra- tion this week. He is loud in his praises of the worthy pioneers who defended southern Minnesota from the Sioux and so undoubtedly saved the lives of many people. The gov- ernor cannot speak too highly of these pioneers, but it would be a grand thing for'the state of Minneso- ta if he would become imbued with the spirit of these grizzled old men and gray-haired women. Minnesota today is fighting special privileges as it did the Indians fifty years ago. The governor should be right on the firing line fighting for the people as did the New Ulm pioneers. As it is, he'is so far in the rear that it takes a telescope to locate him. . Credit Mr. Richardson. The Pioneer wishes to inform its readers that A. A. Richardson has a copyright on the picture from which the published cut of Alex Everywind was made. Had it known this fact at the time the picture was pub- lished, Mr. Richardson would have been given full credit. Try a Hunger Strike, Mrs. Mary Leigh and Miss Gladys Evans, two suffragettes of Dublin, ‘were some time ago sentenced to five years penal servitude for trying to burn the Theater Royal. It is now reported that the ladies have declar- ed a hunger strike and are in danger of starving. Prison officials are try- ing to feed them forcibly. It must mean a lot to those women to get the ballot if they are willing to so tor- ture themselves. Helping the Farmers. - The Northern National Bank of Bemidji is- helping the farmers of this vicinity in two practical ways. In the first place, the bank is dis- tributing free of charge, to any farm- er who will ask for it, the “The Prac- tical Home Veterinarian.” This is a volume written by David Roberts of Waukesha, Wisconsin. In the second place, the bank is acting as agent for a traveling library of the, Minnesota Free Public Library commission. The book is illugtrated with cuts of famous thoroughbreds and also gives drawings of the manner in which various operations ~are to be performed on animals. It devotes much space to the care of farm ani- mals and tells in a clear style how a farmer may improve his herds with no additional cost. It will pay any farmer to look this book over. The traveling library should be in demand during the long fall and win- ter evenings. It contains the latest and best works on soils, dairying, farm crops, farm structures, drain- age, etc. The books will be loaned out free of charge as they are fur- nished by the state. Boost the Auto Club. The present membership of the au- to club is twenty when it should be fifty. The size of the membership list is entirely out of accord with the number of machines in Bemidji. It is doubtful if any club in the state spends its money better than does the Bemidji club. Out of the five dol- lars paid in membership, fully sev- enty-five per cent is'spent by the club in repairing roads leading into the city and placing signs for the guidance of travelers. Necessarily the repairs- that the club can make are of a temporary na- | ture, but a root chopped out of the road or a hole filled in adds material- 1y to the pleasure of motoring, and incidentally makes the road much better for the farmers. To a' person not used to our roads, they are sim- ply paths in the wilderness, and the signs being put up by the club are badly needed. : If every auto owner in Bemidji will join the club at once, the ‘ctub will have a fund of over $100 to be #pent on the roads this fall. This money will go a long way toward making motoring around Bemidji more com- fortable. THIS DATE IN:HISTORY.

Its effects in cases of Hay Fever and Rose Colds are almost magical. You just grease the nostrils with a little of the cream, inhale the pleasant, aro- matic fumes; and in a few minutes your head begins to clear, the sore- ness is relieved, and the sneezing, sniffling and weeping stopped. Peo- ple who have suffered for years with Hay Fever and Rose Cold can be free from all the distressing symptoms by simply using Ely’s Cream Balm morn- ing and night during the Hay Fever season. Hay Fever is due to an irritated, inflamed condition of the mucous membrane (inside skin) of the nose and throat. Strong powders, snuffe and sprays simply aggravate the trou- ble, but E!'y’s Cream Balm soothes, heals and strengthéns the raw, scre membranes, and iu this way not only telieves the trouble but prevents its return.
