YOUR DOLLARS AND MY BOY I want to thank you, friend. You must know the heartfelt gratitude of a father with an only boy. He went with the troops, and I was proud. But I've had many a heartache since. They say he’ll pull through now all right—because they found him Just in time. Did your dollar bring my boy back from No Man’s Land? Did your dollar take the stretcher so close to the thick of the firing? Did your dollar give him the water he pleaded for in his delirium? Did your dollar bring him back to the base hospital where they gave him almost a mother’s care? I want to thank you, if it did—for your dollar has given me back my boy—it has brought him back to me out of No Man’s Land, where many sons are going, where many will remain. Can I say this to you, my friend? Surely, I can if you are a member of the Red Cross—or if you send in your personal, subscription to the Red Cross now—for many a father’s son will come out of No Man’s Land by the aid of the dollars that go to swell the subscription lists of that great enterprise of humanity? Join today—make this your Red Cross Day. No field service is re- quired. Count this the chance to do your bit—for this country must have two million members of the Red Cross—$100,000,000 in subscrip- tions. * 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 vour 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?” 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 now and but a tithe at most or worst, can thus serve. For all who cannot enlist to seek ‘‘the great prize of death in battle” YU 9521 U} PAIPIAU J0U BB Oym JoS, 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.” *“Fight or Give” is our battle cry. This is Red Cross week and we ask that you do this by becoming a supporter of the Red Cross. Send your cash or your check today—$5, $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000—give to your very utmost. COMMON DECENCY CANNOT BE BLUFFED We believe the Pioneer to be reasonable in all things. tries hard to be. There is nothing mysterious about a newspaper or its business and those who have to do with it are no different humans than any one else. So with the Pioneer. In every city or town there are always certain persons or corterie, who arrogate to themselves the roles of supreme domination of all that is in the ccmmunity and for any one to dare express himself or do any- thing n~t srrictlv in aceord with the ideas and actions of the self-arro- gated is little short of treason to some one or other or some- th hle At least it per often seems to offend or transgress the imaginary self- its and privileges of this species of individuals and imme- in for attention and correction, such not in the spirit of seeking to adjust a difference of opinion, but along the lines of domina- tion—pnure.

Two men may have the same equipment, one make good money, the other fail, while both are supposed to be feeding by the same system and the same tables. To Prevent Old Age Coming Too Soon! “Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as filters for such products. If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon and in- crease our chances for a long life, we should drink plenty of pure water and take a little Anuric,” says the world-famed Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. When suffering from backache, fre- quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, the simple way to over- come these disorders is merely to obtain a little Anuric from your nearest drug- ; gist and you will quickly notice the grand results. You will find it thirty-seven of a preperly cunducleq newspaper. No decent newspaper man would seek to do such, and there is not a newspaper man of common decency but who would be the first to make amends for a mistake, same as any other business man or person of any character whatsoever. The Pioneer stands for common decency and the best interests of the people of Bemidji and their home community and the person who isn’t can no more bluff the Pioneer into submission than he can jump across Lake Bemidji. If the Russians want to dispose of Ex-Czar Nick they can ship him over here. He'd make a fair second-class attraction in a freak dime museum. . You’d hardly think him crazy, but he is. He wants to know if the trusts have reformed. Between sleeping an hour longer and waking up ‘and finding ourself famous, we wouldn’t hesitate a minute. We'd hog ’em both. Uncle Sam is distressingly slow in getting started, but here’s hopli'lg he hands the spiked helmet an awful wallop when he gets there. In his eagerness to obtain peace the kaiser is welling to give away any portion of the earth that does not belong to him.
