IS PAPER REPRESENTLD FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Takes Rap At Bell Phone A publication styled the “Postal "’ in its April issue takes a poke at the Bell Telepnone and West- ern Union companies for ' uniting their offices in many of the smaller towns and cities and in some in- stances abolishing the telegraph of- fice entirely. It quotes many press comments and refers to the two as an illegal combination stating that it’s aim is to ultimately force the Postal Telegraph company out of business. If the service is unsatisfactory in any of the cities where tne telegraph offices have been entirely abolished the company should by all means be made to re-instate these offices or make a satisfactory explanation to the public. Minnesota’s Press Bureau. It has none. Not pecause it should not have one, but because of lack of proper organization. Because of lack of “Team Work.” Little North Dakota, our neghboring state has such an organization with head- quarters at Grand Forks, It is known as the North Dakota Development League Press Bureau. It issues live news matter daily and sends it out to all the papers of importance through- out the entire United States. With the opportunities and re- sources of this state, far surpassing those of any other state in the Union, it almost looks like a “Joke” not to have an up-to-the-minute publicity Why wait-longer? The time to begin is now and action should be taken by the proper asso- ciations and organizations to proper- 1y effect such a department. With the right kind of men to push the work and the right kind of material to work with Minnesota could be placed in the véry front rank of se- curing settlers within its boundar- ies. Teaching Safety New York public schools recently celebrated Safety Day. In each class the teacher gave special lesscns on care and caution in everyday life, to prevent accidents in our industrial life and at large. The lessons were re-enforced with short stories to make the subject more interesting. How to cope with accidents, the re- sult of gasoline and other combus- tibles, electricity, machinery, lakes and rivers. In other words, a course in first aid to the injured.” With the approach of the . outing season on lakes and in woods where profession- al skill is too distant to be of any use, such knowledge is always of in- finite value. There are many more outing seasons to come; many more lives to be saved. Why not lock the door before the horse is stolen? Superintendent W. P.

Fight the “Typhoid Fly.” The common housefly, now known as the “typhoid fly,” is an important fac- tor in the spreading of typhoid fever. Therefore screening the food. also the doors and windows, establishing sani- tary dry earth closets and removing or screening all refuse, such as manure, garbage and decaying vegetables and fruits, will aid greatly in the restrie- tion and prevention of typhoid fever.— Lexington (N. C.) Dispatch. Kill Flies-=-NOW. Today is the time to kill flies. Right now, before the weather becomes warmer, is the time to clean up. thus destroying the eggs and eliminating the flies before they are hatched, The first lazy flies of spring are be- ginning to crawl into the sunny. cor- ners.

The figures of the last census, when compared with those of the previqut census reports back in 1850, indicate that the movement of the productioun of grain under natural conditions has reached its western limit. Since 185¢ the “median point” (center) of pro duction of the six great.crops—corn wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buck: wheat—was about 20 miles west southwest of Burlington, Towa; but its western movement in the - last ten years was comparatively very small It remains to be seen what effect the great irrigation work now planned by the government will have upon the locatlon of the great grain flelds of the country. No Hay So Good as Alfaifa. There is no other hay so good as al- falfa for all kinds of lve stock, and for horses and hogs alfalfa is invalu- able, either as a hay, a soiling crop, or a pasture. It excels as a hog pas turq, and, with hogs, makes one of the most profitable farm combinations. An alfalfa field is said to be a hog’s idea of heaven. In root growth alfalfa resembles red clover, but sends down a stronger tap root. When properly handled it pro- duces three or four cuttings each year and remains productive for many years. Land which is adapted to red clover usually grows alfalfa when any lack of inoculation and of lime is supplied. Alfalfa does best when sown alone. Many failures are due to sowing it with oats or barley. These take so much water from the soil that the al- falfa dies. Alfalfa growing marks the highest development in our ‘modern agricul ture. “Alfalfa is the richest hay known."—J. W. Spillman. - food Alfalfa excels every other crop MERGHANTS 'heaven.

Alfalfa yields from two - to three times as much as clover or timothy, and is more vnlulble hay. Alfalfa is heing n\lcuumlly grown in every agricultural county in New York, and on at least one farm in nearly every township. - It-is possible to grow it on some part of practically “===v farm in the state. - Lost Opportunities. ‘We miss a good many opportunities because we do not recognize them. They do not come at the time expect- ed, nor in‘the way we look for them. A great many of them are disguised, because that is the only way they can ever get inside the gate of our preju- dices.

It would be interesting to know how much less it costs one family to ‘live than another of like means and re- quirements. It is quite certain that all households do not posséss equal intelli- gence and economy in their buying. A finely - organized - business house, through its trained purchasing depart- ment, knows with exactness where to buy and what to buy and when to buy. This newspaper knows the last ‘word about the vast quanities of paper_ and ink and everything else it buys. ‘We would close up shop pretty quickly if we bought without absolute informa- tion to guide us. THE PIONEER, through its advertis- ing colnmns, offers every individual and every family the opportunity to practice the same exactness and effi- ciency in making their disbursements.
