H. French auction sale, ‘held on his farm one mile west of the ! .gity Wednesday, was a decided suc- «cess. That this success was largely .due to advertising in The Pioneer is :self evident. This sale was advertised exclusive- 1y in The Pioneer, with the excep- tion of bills circulated. Every auc- tion sale held in this ‘community, which was advertised in The Pio- neer, has been a wonderful success. In speaking of the sale, Mr. ‘French had this to say: “We sold out everything we wanted to sell. More than $2,500 was taken in. The attendance was big and things were -quickly disposed of. I am satisfied.” Auctioneer Knows. August Jarshow, the popular, and -result producing auctioneer, de- clared: “It takes the Pioneer to bring out the crowds. There is al- ways a good turn out when the sale 4s properly advertised, and things are sold at & rapid clip.. At the Jes- ter sale, -more thanr:-600 sales were made and at the French sale over 450 different sales were made. We ‘had the ¢lerk Tunning on high, from start to finish.” THe pulling powers of an adver- -tisement....are.. Dbest . demonstrated _when used in sales of this Kkind. .

A year agoe our'people poured out their hearts in praise and thanksgiving through divine. aid the right was victorious and peace had come to the nations which: had so courageously struggled in defense of human liberty ; and justice. Now that the stern task is ended and the fruits of .. achievement are ours we look forward with confidence to the dawn : of an era where the sacrifices of the nations will find recompense ‘in a world at peace. RECONSECRATE THEMSELVES. f‘But.to attain the consummation of the great work to which the Ar.nencan people devoted their manhood and the vast resources of their country, they should, as they give thanks to God, reconse- : crate themselves to these principles of right which triumphed -throygh His merciful goodness. Our gratitude can find no more - perfect expression than to bulwark with loyalty and patroitism these .pr"lngl.ples_for which the free peoples of the earth fought and died. “During the' past year we have had much to make us grateful. _In-_ spite of the confusion in our economic life res from the war we have prospered. Our harvests have been plgntiful and of ‘our abundance we have been able to render succor to;less favored : nations.

For the past two months, Miss Mae MacGregor, Red Cross county nurse, has been tramping the. forest dis- tricts, towns and villages in the ‘work of relieving distress, under the auspices of the local chapter, the un- fortunate, stricken humanity, hav- ing no other means of retief from any otlrer source. Last month, Nurse Mac Gregor in- spected -about 400 school pupils and found one school with several pupils afflicted - with skin ailment. This month she has inspected about 700 pupils. When the destructive floods broke loose in the northwestern portion of Beltrami county, Grygla vicinity was devastated by the floods created by the high level of Red Lake, when a large number of settlers suffered loss of their homes, stock, and their farm effects, many being reduced to actual want. An appeal came to the Red Cross today from a stricken family there, from a mother who has a small daughter with a broken ankle, and a son in a hospital. They lost their all in the floods, and she is asking for some bedding and clothing for the children. the channel of the Red Lake River to prevent overflow of thousands of acres of tillable land in many coun- ties of Minnesota and North Dakota. The project, it is estimated, would cost $800,000, of which the govern- ment would pay $240,000. The or- ganization backing it is known -as the Red Lake Drainage and Flood . Control District.

" By Ratph Couch. (United Press Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 7.—A new pro- posal for dealing with the coa: strike situation was prepared by Secretary of Labor Wilson for prdsentation to the cabinet meeting today. This session’ was heralded as one of the mrost {mpprtant in the history of President. Wilson’s administration. Although the ppésident refused to di- vulge his plans previous to the con- ference, it was learned that the pro- posal does not include furtner de- velopment of thé injunction proceed- ings. ! Secretary Wilson from the first objected to tha use of injunction machinery. Now he is prepared to point out to the cabinet that as a means of protecting the public from a fuel shortage the injunction has proved a fajlure. He will propose that the administration press the in- junction proceedings as lightly as possible -and - depend. upon negotia- tions to bring the strike to a close. Samuel Gompers met wi...
