The Pioneer got a “hunch” from St. Paul that the steel strike was likely to play havoc with steel work on the new dor- mitory of the normal school, but an inquiry from President Deputy was followed by one on his part of Contractor Klark- quist, who said he had heard nothing about that phase of the strike. The contractor explained that he had secured his steel from a large concern that had a big supply on hand and was unable to see why the order couldn’t be filled, and the work carried on as usual. ; That's another time Bemidji is fortunate in having the right man on the job, who will complete’the dormitory at the earliest possible time, steel strike or no steel strike. ey e NEW MARKET FEATURE BIG “HIT.;' It was indeed surprising when The Pioneer inaugurated its market quotation department and it went the usual quantity of prices a little in advance, as it has arranged for the potato market quotations from Chicago and also the day’s quotations from Stillwater’s community market, also from the Bemidji -‘markets, the most complete market report ever published in any newspaper in the city or county. 3 For some time there have been inquiries as to the omission of the market report and the matter was looked after care- fully. Result, The Pioneer met with the heartiest co-operation upon every inquiry, which enabled the paper to add it to its recognized features and many new readers have been and are being added in the country. —o0 UNITED PRESS REPORT DOUBLED. There’s another thing The Pioneer has done this week, and that is the addition to its United Press wire service which has been doubled in quantity and hence greatly improved in value to the paper and its host of readers. . : The Pioneer is making. every effort to give to the people of Bemidji, towns and villages and rural routes, the latest news of personal interest to them, and also the world’s news gath- ‘ered by the great United Press with bureaus and correspond- ents in Europe, the world at large and throughout the United States, including the national affairs at Washington, also the state of Minnesota. . The Pioneer is taking a long step forward. —_—0 i 1t is announced by the United Press correspondent, travel- ing with the president, that Wilson will have something to say about the steel strike one of these days. The country got con- sistently “balled up” while he was in Europe, and since he has been expounding the merits of his personally conducted speak- ing tour on the treaty and league the explosion came, as it was | Governor Goodrich, spent several days generally recognized would materialize, nation wide. . T ) y Lieut. Governor Frankson terms Governor Burnquist’s veto of the iron tonnage bill a “travesty.” Don’t hear anyone in the northern part of the state endorsing that statement. —_—— Burnquist lost no time in signing the bill providing for a bonus for returned service men and women. It places Min- nesota at the peak of states which have thus honored its brave heroes and heroines for their war services in the nation’s crisis. NEWS OF THE ] THEATERS REX REOPENS SATURDAY. From the ashes of the recent fire that razed the Rex theatre, a few months ago, the splendid new spe- cially designed new theatre wil re- open its doors Saturday night and bid welcome to its host of former friends. Demonstrating that poor people are more susceptible to the: efforts of Dan Cupid than the wealthy, Mary Plckford, us Amy Burke in “The Hoodlum,” which will be seen Saturday night, Sunday matinee and night, finds her husband in the tene- ments instead of the society circle on Riverside Drive where she had been living. In the tenements, garbed in the rather striking manner of the neigh- borhood girls, Amy finds that life with its fun, hardships, emotions and sentiment is far more developed among the poor than among he weathy set. ; She is first seen as a spoiled granddaughter of the very wealthy Alexander Guthrie. Silk pajamas, several fancybuilt roadsters, a pri- ivate tutor with shell-rim glasses are a few of her possessions. Among those whom Amy meets in ithe tenements are Dish Lowry, a little chap witn an appetite for hard- boiled eggs; William Turner, a struggling artist with a past not as ‘black as it is painted, and Peter Cooper, a wealthy old recluse, whom Amy tries to “frame” for a crap game. . How Peter Cooper serves as the imedium through which a reconcilia- tion among the Burke family is ef- ‘fected and how the struggling artist aids ‘Amy in cracking her grand- father's safe and ‘steals her heart is a inost comical end to this produc- tion. P The old favorite Charlie Chaplin will also be seen as a feature. DELIGHTFUL PHOTOPLAY. Vivian Martin’s latest Paramount photoplay, “The Home Town Girl,” which is being presented at the Grand tonight, is a delightful photo- play which is well worth seeing. Miss Martin is a charming Yankee girl in this story who sets an admir- able example to young women who are in love—that of constancy to ideals and faith in the men of their choice, Miss Martin has the role of a little Yankee girl, who loves a soda water clerk' in a country drug store and when he goes to New York for a bet- ter job so. that they can marry, she promises to wait for him. He gets into difficulties through gambling, but her trust in him does not waver and when she goes in search of him, || she succeeds in pulling him out of the mire and making a man of him. The story is a strong one and every scene of the photoplay has a thrill distinetly its own. , A Big V comedy, “Zip and Zest,” will be an added feature. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. Rex Beach has again demonstrated his ability as the most consistent writer of great photodramas now ap- pearing on the screen. His latest Goldwyn production, “The Girl from Outside,” which will be shown at the Grand theatre, Saturday and Sunday, he has won the unstinted praise of the national board of review. Mere- over, it was enthusiastically received by the managers of the new Capitol theatre in New York, the largest theatre in the United States devoted exclusively to motion pictures. The manager booked the picture for two weeks, on Broadway, which honor has never before been accorded a regular reledse.

Of course, it is a trifle larger than a sock and -easier to get money ouit of than the tin banks or the china pigs of one's childhood, but it manages to gather in a very great deal of money in the minimum space. As a matter of fact, originally the space occupied by the bank was a hall- way into the bullding back of it. Some changes in the architecture of the place made the hallway unnecessary, and so the savings bank decided on an “office” there.

Placing Himself. Luther - Burbank, like Thomas A. Edison, has had his brain incorporated and capitalized. He has done many wonderful things, one of the biggest being the perfecting of the spincless cactus, which is a great cattle food staple. Also to his credit are the Shasta dalsy, the stoneless prune and the seedless grape. His pntie.gge is wonderful and they say that at one time he raised 50,000,000 lillies to get a single half-dozen that were perfect. “No wonder they call you the ‘wizard’ of Californin.” remarked 2 Los Angeles reporter once.

PHONE 857 Products that Packers Sell Tllell’ Number Grossly Exaggeratgd The Federal Trade Commission has published a list of some 640 articles said fo be sold by the packers. * ’ . This list is ridiculously padded in order to scare people into the belief that the packers are.getting control of the food supply of the'nation. : For cxample, the list includes not.-: - only “beef sides” and “‘beef cuts,” but = ' also over 60 other items of beef pro- ducts and by-producs.’ Over 90 articles.listed are not sold’; to the outside trade-but are raw mate- rials and supplies, such as brick, cement, etc., used by Swift & Company in car- rying on its business., Wi + Glaring duplications appear, such as “sardines” and “‘canned sardines”; “but- terine” and “oleomargarine”; ‘“dried sausages” and “dry sausage,” etc. The list includes 37 kinds of sausage; 4 different kinds or preparations of beef tongue, etc., etc. Simmered down, Swift & Company handles in addition fo'meats and meat _by-products, only butter, eggs, cheese, poultry, canned goods, lard substitutes, and to a very small éxtent, dried and salt fish. And the proportion which we handle of the total supply of any one of these is absurdly small. . Do you want to be fooled by such ‘misieading and ridiculous statements of the Trade Commission?
