AUTOMATIC MILLER FEEDER Here’s an attachment which does the work of a-press feeder. It is almost human in the work it performs. The above reproduction shows it attached to a new series Chandler & Gordon job press. takes the sheets from the press It not only feeds the press but and jogs them perfectly. When starting up this machine the printer places a quantity of sheets on the machine table and after making the job ready, turns on electric button and soes about some other work. The machine will feed the press perfectly and cannot make a mistake. If two sheets should happen to slip through the feeder, the, press immediately stops printing and a bell rings automatically. The printer then steps over to the press, makes the necessary adjustment and away “she goes.” The tremendous amount of job work done by The Pioneer keeps the “human” machine in constant operation. ‘A NEW SERIES CHANDLER-PRICE GORDON PRESS This is onel-of our busy job presses on which may be printed letter heads, envelopes, bill heads, cards, statements, invitations, hand bills and practically anything in the printing line, which may be turned out on a small press. Individual motors operate all of our presses and they are continually busy grinding out work for the business concerns of this section of the state. — _ELECTRIC POWER PAPER CUTTER This paper cutter is operate: by electricity and will cu sheets of paper in any quan- tity from one sheet to 1,000 sheets at one operation. i It will take sheets thirty inches wide and cut straight through the full width, leaving a fine smoothly trimmed edge. ELECTRIC WIRE STITCHER This is a regular “wire sew- ing machjne,” and instead of sewing with thread it prefers wire and can staple or sew a cover on a book or folder al- most in an instant. The attachments provide for either a saddle stitch or side stitch. It is controlled by a foot lever and driven by elec- tricity. The wire comes on a large spool, which is attached to the machine in such a man- ner that it feeds from the spool | == [ automatically. It will sew through paper from two sheets to over an inch in thickness and is a most popular machine in the Pioneer binding department. MODEL 5 LINOTYPE This is one of the Pioneer’s d|typesetting machines, which is t! considered one of the fastest machines built. It is a Model 5 Mergenthaler Linotype Ma- chine, manufactured by the Mergenthaler Linotype Com- pany of Brooklyn, N. Y., and sets most of the news type fur- nished our readers in the Pioneer daily. 4 It is operated by electricity and the metal is heated by gas. It is a one-magazine machine, but will set up any size type from six point to twelve point. After the slug is cast the matrices are re-distributed to the magazine, each matrix going back to its proper chan- nel. THE NEW MILLER SAW TRIMMER % This popular machine has been recently added to the Pioneer equipment and is used to trim metal cuts, slugs, leads, et cetera. It is a circle buzz saw and knife combination and cuts a slug or lead in the twinkle of an eye. The circle saw cuts the slug the proper length and the knife trims the edge smooth so that a snug fit may be ob- tained. This machine is alse used for It is a most popular machine with the printer and is almost in constant use. LAND VALUES BASED ON - PRICES FOR PRODLLCTS Soil Fertility Must Be .Con- served to Secure Larger Yields, Says Big Owner ‘W. S. Dunham, wh» owns and cp- erates a farm of approximately 2,000 acres in DuPage county, Iil., was 1e- cently interviewed regarding land values in the corn belt. He said in substance:. The high prices at wkich farm lands have been sold and are now held are based upna high prices for and low cost of production. combined have made it possi tarm owners to realize a r rate of return on land at high values. How long a world wide shortage of farm products and consequent high prices may prevail, I will not under- take to predict. Large yields of farm crops can only be secured, however, where due precaution is taken to ¢ serve soil fertility 'by the thorough utilization of farm yard manures anl such other fertilizers as may prolit- ably be used. Low cost of production has, of course, been our greatest advantage. It is due to the utilization of labor saving farm machinery and cheap power. ‘Whenever cheap power fails, costs of production will inevitabty rise, and this is our greatest danger today. The' most reliable, efficient and economical power farmers have ever had is furnishhed by good horses and mules. This % cléarly recognized and conceded by all experienced farm- animals that we have ever known in ers, -even by those who have in re- cent yedrs utilized tractors to some extent in some farm operations. We are today confronted with that fact that there is an actual shortage of voung work horses and mules suit- able for replenishing our power re- quirements. in the future. Most se- rious of all is the fact that the ma- chinery for horse and mule produc- tion has been largely dissipated. Good mares have been permitted to go empty so long that they are now bar- ren. Others have been sold for non- agricultural work and are thus re- moved from fields of future horse pro- duction. Stallions have been so lit- tle patronized for the last four years that thousands of them have been castrated, and there Is today the greatest shortage of good sires suit- the products of the farm, large yields! able for begetting high class work this country. The trouble seems to be that every farmers wants to ‘let George do it.” He realizes that horses are indispen- sable on the farm and furnish the cheapest source of motive power available, but the high prices for meat animals and grain and the in- clination to seize on those lines which promise the greatest immediate re- turns, have caused hundreds ol thous- ands of farmers who formerly bred and reared their own power replace- ments to discontinue their horse breeding operations, with the idea that when the time came they would buy replacemenis elsewhere. They forgot that everyone else operating under the same general farm ¢ondi- tions had the same idea. * There is no more vital nor more fundamental problem before Ameri- can farmers today than a continued abundant supply of cheap motive power on the farm. Without it, pro- duction costs will rise, and acre yields reduce because of the lack of manure horses employed on farms have furnished. Unless the farmers of this country protect their own in- terests by making arrangements for the production of their 6wn power on their own farms by breeding good horses and mules for which they are raising their own fuel at cost, the two factors, combined with falling prices for farm products, inevitable whenever the rest of the world gets down to normal production of farm crops, will certainly reduce the re- turns from farm operations with a consequent reduction in land values. The far-sighted farmer is already arranging to produce his own power. THE PIONEER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS —_—ee Third Street mortising cuts.

One of world’s most ancient jewels may be saved in this way from event- ual extinction. It has been customary to open the oyster shells in the search for pearls. This resulted in the death of the oys- ter. This process continued thru the centuries has seriously depleted the number of pearl oysters. ine pearl fisheries are approaching exhaustion. No large pearls have been found ifor years. The X-Ray recently was tried in effort to save the oysters. It ap- parently solved the problem. Tt was found feasible to determine whether an oyster contained a pearl. Even small pearls pere made visible. Mol- lusks that held no gems were thrown back to become possible pearl-bearers of the future. ODORLESS LIMBURGER. b (By United Press.) * Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 7.—No long* er will father have to avoid crowds and hang his coat out for an airing after he has carried home a chunk for supper, for odorless limburger cheese has been found. The H. B. Stanz Cheese company, of this city, claims to have turned out the product with as much lusci- ousness, but without the time-worn identification mark. Subscribe for The Daily Pioneer. PIONEER WANT AD SELLS HORSE FOR MONTAGUE Clifford Montague had a -~ horse for sale and he advertised the fact in The Pioneer. He comments as follows on the results obtained: “I got the ad in late and it appeared away down in a cor- ner where I could hardly find it myself. The other fellow saw it, all right. I sold my horse and got $25 more than if I had not used your paper. It only took one issue to do the work although; I ordered it run for three.” s Take Heavy Tolly .
