With this issue of The Pioneer begin the duties of its new editor, George W. Harnwell. To Bemidji and the surrounding territory he needs no special introduction. Most of our citizens know him through his former connections with the St. Hilaire Lumber company. They know him as a man of ability, a hustler and a man willing to do things for a bigger and better Northern Minnesota. In order to broaden its field of labors, The Pioneer extends a cordial welcome to all citizens who have suggestions or criticism to offer. " They will always be welcome and treated with' the utmost consideration. | ‘The .Pioneer desires to' bend its efforts along constructive lines and is willing at all. times to assist in promoting those things, which smake for a bigger and better Bemidji and Northern Minnesota. [ . e it is our desire to maintain a department in which all will be given an opportunity to express their views. These letters or articles will be pub- lished under the heading of “What Others Say.” In submitting letters for publication, please bear in mind that our space is limited and we: therefore ask that you confine your article to two hundred words or less. ©Opinions, and ideas for the general good are earnestly solicited. In order to protect this paper from libelous remarks, the right is reserved to pass upon all matters submitted. Personal argu- -ments will be discouraged, but constructive criticism and suggestions, whereby some good may possibly be accomplished, will at all times be given prefer- ence. We believe that such a department will be most interesting to our readers, and trust that not a few will take advantage of this new feature. ’ . s The other day we observed a mail carrier, carry- ing a load composed chiefly of packages, magazines and newspapers, which would bend an ordinary aman jack-knife fashion. This faithful servant of Uncle Sam‘s was compelled to trudge along the street with bag heaped and arms filled and at the same time decipher addresses, deposit mail, ring door bells and otherwise serve the public. This ‘abor under’ such presstre” on a‘cold day for the salary paid would make a plumber or carpenter chuckle. Well—to say the “least, it might mean good mail service, but it’s mighty poor male treat- ment. —_ Facts vs. Fiction. When one reads the market reports you are persuaded that food products are «<oming down. When, an hour later you consult -your grocer, you revise your opinion. The former is fiction and the latter hard facts. : —_ . Shall we call them gold-brick layers or gold brick- layers? They are now receiving $1.25 per hout in Chicago, having won their latest strike. Next! 0 Two days this week we have been compelled to hold the size of our paper down to six pages. Not ‘because of shortage of advertising or news, but because of the shortage of print paper. All pub- lishers are being urged to cut down consumption when possible and when we appear crowded, please bear with us until the situation is relieved. Thank you.

The democrats are trying to ‘“smoke out” the president, and do not want him to be ‘a candidate for a third term. If he is nominated by the demo- crats in the Frisco convention, he will be smoked out of the White House by the American vote next November. Why worry the president about so trifling a matter?—Journal Press. O WE ARE IN FAVOR OF IT. While out on the coast recently two Cass Lakers found a picture of Old John Smith, and he had been advertised as being from Glacier National Park. First we have Bemidji try to take Old John and now along come the representatives of the gov- ernment of the land of the free and the home of the brave, with the same tactics.—Cass Lake Times. If we can’t have him he belongs to Cass Lake. O A FEW FLOWERS FOR ALBERT. Albert Anderson of Clearbrook, Minn., who is a one hundred per cent J. H. booster, also believes in his own town. He says: . “The best town in the world is your town—the town you live in, and if you don’t believe that it is the best town our advice to you is to move out, because you are hampering progress by a barnacle- like attitude. Every town needs progressive citizens __citizens who are broad-minded and have a vision that encompasses something besides their own per- sonal welfare.and ambitions.” We have got to play this town building game together if we are to achieve the best results. The opinionated or bigot- ed, selfish lobster who only thinks last and all the time, even though it may evolve the best interest of his whole fown and community at their expense, is' & most worthless carcass to any town and mill- stone around. the neck of any community which at times even succeed in killing off a pretty town with a great future before it. Such fellows are generally found peddling every strange man’s opinion, wheth- er. it represents the best interest of the town or not, providing sach opinion is the means of rolling a dollar or two into their pockets at the expense and disgrace of their own town. But, remember, it don’t build up your town.”—Jefferson Highway. folrre WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THESE COMMENTS. George W.

The accompanylng drawing gives an idea of how quickly and cheaply any number of brood compartment coops can be constructed. It shows only two sectious, but any desired number can be ;put together, saving material. We suggest that only three at the most be united, as they are easier handled when desiring to re- move to new quarters, says & writer in an exchange. The one section shows the door closed and button turned to hold lid up at night. The other section shows the door down for daytime to allow the hen and young free range in ¢he orchard or pasture, wherever the coops may .be located. A very convenient size both for cut- ting’ material and the handling of completed coop has been found to be as follows: Twenty-four inches high in front, 18 inches high at rear, 18 tnches deep from front to back. One- inch holes can be bored at each end and a line of them through the top of the door, as indicated by the closed door in drawing. Also, if the roof | boards are allowed to project over back wall several incies it is not a bad idea to bore a few holes in the back ‘'wall. Some farmers have been | very thoughtful and constracted sim- flar coops during the cold, wet, sleety weather the last winter when nothing in the field could be done, and they are nhead much when the fields de- mand so much time and attention at| this season. Shingles or prepared roofing, what- over is convenient, will make an idea’ Homemade Brooders. covering for the roofs. We heve seen where a’ farmer having a half dozen such constructed coops used galvan- ized iron’ from an old shed in town that he obtain\ed for the bauling. Resigned to Fate. ‘In the early days of the war a groug’ of optimistic young men assembled at the officers’ training camp at Fort ‘Myer, .Va., with all the necessary ap- purtenances of officers, from spurs to an extra pair of. field glasses. Later on, as it became necessary for the authori- || ties to hand out little pink slips and one-way tickets howe, it grew into a custom for the departing candidates to auction off -his equipment. % One Saturday morning Captaln Blank said sharply to Candidate Jones of Company X: “Mr. Jones, drill the company.” Mr. Jones stepped forth. Taking his place before. the company, he was sud-- denly stricken dumb. “Well?” demanded the captain with a strongly rising inflection. Jones gulped. “Wh-wh-what am I offered for my truck locker?” he stam- mered.—Home Sector. ENEMIES OF LITTLE CHICKS Prevention s Best Procedure Against |/ Hawks, Crows, Weasels, Cats | and Other Pests. Hawks, crows, rats, foxes, skunks, wessels, cats, and dogs are the most || dreaded enemies of the growing chick- en and every -spring thousands of chicks are destroyed by them. Poul- trymen who have glven thought and attention to the question of reducing the loss due to these pests say the best method of procedure is generally preventl.on. E have won prestige in this town and we believe = that we have earned it. We strive at all times to use our experi- ence and uxcellent equipment . in: a will manner - that meet with the re- quirements of good taste. i AR TR e LICENSED AUCTIONEER Always at your service DR.
