THE BOY WHO RAN AHEAD He got only a little way, the boy who ran ahead. For the blackness overtook him before he had run a dozen yards. But he took the spirit of this whole great nation with him—and as his comrades charged past with break-neck recklessness to cross the space of No Man’s Land, that boy knew in all the haze of eternity of the sec- ond just before the nlsm that he h d done his bit is a man from God’s country should. And all the rest knew, too—though he was forgotten by them in a moment. Now, will it be your dollars that take the stretcher to the boy who ran ahead? ‘Will your dollars put water to his lips? him back to the tender care of the nurses so willing through the perilous oblivion. ‘Will your dollars brighten that first morning when he sees the soft, white peacefulness of his cot and settles back, reassured by the smiles about him, to rest just a bit again? Those may be your dollars if you will—for such is the glorious, won- derful work dollars can do these days. Every subscriber to the Red Cross can count his dollar doing just some such thing. Every member can know his dollars can be hurrying comfort to the boy who has taken the spirit of America so bravely ‘‘over the top.” A five dollar contribution is such a little thing to do so much—may- be you think it’s all too little to count. Don't feel that way. Don’t let that boy go down, choking for the very breath of life—don’t let his call go unheard, just because you thought a five dollar bill couldn’t do enough. Subscribe to the Red Cross today, now. Our slogan is Give!” Put the five dollars you were about to spend so needlessly back into your pocket. Send it to the nearest Red Cross station—and ask your own ‘Will your dollar hurry with to mother him “Fight or $100,000,000 AT ONCE THE BEMIDJI DL(LY PIVNEER heart if what you got isn’t worth a thousand times the price. Red Cross members will not be called upon for field service—and whether this war ends tomorrow or lasts indefinitely, remember the Red Cross goes right along doing the noblest, most humanitarian work in all the world—for it is always taking care of the wounded, food to the starv- ing, mercy everywhere. President Wilson, himself, is president of the Red Cross and asks that one million men and women enroll their names as subscribers to the Red Cross—at $1, $2, $5, $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000. He does not ask that you do anything else but pay your subscription and then if you wish to secure 10, 25 or 100 new subscribers, do so if you wish. No further service in the field or elsewhere will be required. In this hour of the nation’s and all the world’s need, every American who loves his country and his fellow men asks: ‘‘What can I do? Where can I help?” g For stalwart youth the path of duty is plain. Our country and hu- manity need men to fight and die for them. Yet of our 100,000,000 only a small fraction naw and but a tithe at moset, or worst, can thus serve. For all who cannot enlist to seek ‘“‘the great prize of ‘death in battle,” or who are not needed in those ranks, as yet, there is another enlistment. It is under the banner of the Red Cross. Enlisting there all, old or young, man, woman or tender child, can proudly say: “I too am serving humanity and my country.” “I too am deserving well of the Republic.” This is Red Cross week and we ask that you do this by becoming a supporter of the Red Croes. Send your cash and your check today—$5, $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000—give to your very utmost.

Also a RETRACTION was demanded for what the Pioneer said at that time. And the Pioneer ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to apologize or retract one jota of what it said. . ‘What the Pioneer said at that time was nothing compadred with what it could have said and said TRUTHFULLY, concerning this foul stench. What was brought out at the hearing before Judge Fisk was enough to serve its purpose. But there is so much more that was held in abeyance and is being held in abeyance that can be produced if necessary‘at the proper time as to make the testimony at the hearing Monday seem like a Sunday school meeting. ; What kind of a lot are you looking for?
