A dispatch from St. Paul says: “The biennial report of the state auditor to be made to the legislature this winter will show that Minnesota has loaned to other states from its permanent fund created by mine tax- es and royalties the su mof $5,819,- 503.80. “The total permanent trust fund amounts to $27,210,767. The sales during the past two years of timber, minerals and agricultural lands have added $2,771,936.15 to this fund. “Although there is a shortage in the state general fund the auditor’s re- port will show the state treasurer has $2,135,619.65 cash in hand in the trust fund.” This is what Northern Minnesota is protesting. The state permanent and school funds are loaned to other states on their bonds and Minnesota receives some two or three per cent interest. Yet here in the Northern part of the state, county after county is building roads, making ditches, and putting in bridges and schools, for which bonds must be issued and on which the borrowers are paying five and six per cent. . The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment association has asked that the state sell these foreign bonds and loan the money within its own bor- ders and by so doing earn the same interest and also lower the rate that the counties have to pay. of the fact that there are thousands of acres of state land in this North country which are not paying taxes In view nor helping finaiicially in the devel- “bpment of the district, it is only right that the state should assist the counties in every possible way. Officers of the association say they believe certain state officials are find- ing it profitable to themselves to buy foreign rather than domestic bonds. These same officers will find a decid- ed change of sentiment in the North country about the time they are up for re-election. Why Advertise? A daily paper not so far from Be- midji tells of a Jocal merchant who met a farmer carrying an express package from a Chicago mail order house. bill of goods from me?” he asked, “I “Why didn't you buy that could have saved charges, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store.” looked at the mer- chant for a full minute and then said, The farmer “Why don’t you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and did not know you had this par- ticular line.” The same merchant will not pat- ronize the paper in a liberal way and insert such copy as will interest the readers, and at the same time furnish the editor with the means to give his readers the kind of matter that they expect. With the competition of farm pa- pers at a low price and the big city papers who cut prices on mail sub- scription the Pioneer cannot afford to charge a subscription price that will enable it to publish the right kind of a paper®without depending on the merchants for advertising. The clippings that come to this -office every week are evidence that many merchants are alive to the sit- uation, but there is no doubt of there being many others who appear unwil- ling to spend money to let their old you the expressx customers know of new lines or to get the trade of the incoming settlers. The retailer thinks that the busi- ness of this territory belong to him and so it do=s, but it is not going to be handed him on a silver platter. To get it, he must go after it. It is not too much to say that if the retailers of the United States had advertised in their local papers as they ought to have done, a great deal of the “patent” reading matter roast- ing the so-called “middle-man’’ would never have appeared, and the agita- tion for parcels post would have been far less vigorous. The retailer does not make his pub- lisher a donation in the shape of an advertising contract. He should on- ly insert such advertisements of such a size as will bring him the busi- ness. Many merchants, as well as their customers, often wonder who pays for the advertising. The merchant does not, for all of his income must come from his customers. It would look then as though the customers paid for it. They do iz one sense for their money is the entire income of the store, but they do mot in another sense, for broad advertising makes it possible to sell a larger amount of goods and so handle each separate item on a closer margin. Why advertise? Because it pays you, Mr. Businessman, as you can make more profit by doing a larger business; because it pays your cus- tomers for on the larger business you can sell separate items on a closer margin. Advertising pays. If it does not, why are the leading merchants of the Twin Cities the heaviest ad- vertisers in the city papers? THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

There is nothing new about the idea of using Sage, for restoring the color of the hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by the use of a simple “Sage Tea.” Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appearance, they made a brew of Sage leaves, and applied it to their hair with wonderful benefi- cial effect. Nowadays we don’t have to resort to the old-time tiresome method 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 Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing Sage in - the proper strength, with the addition of Sul- phur, another old-time scalp remedy. This preparation gives youthful color and beauty to the hair, and is one of the best remedies you can use for dandruff, dry, feverish, itching|tionary and THE PIONEER makes it possible for them to have it V{EET PREPARED. w7 *Why is Mrs. Bonton angry at yeu?” “I haven’t the slightest idea. I am sure she has no reason to be.” “Perhaps you have done something to offend her?” “Not a thing in the world. I attend- ed a little gathering at her house the other night and since that she haen't spoken to me.” “That's strange!” “Yes. The invitation read: ‘Come prepared to eat watermelon.’” BEN/IOU.
