A number of editors have been connected with-the paper since that time, Messrs. H. Dane, F. A. Wilson, F. G. Neumeier, H. M. Stanton, F. T. Beaver, and the present editor, G. W. Harnwell, who assumed that department and became interested in the paper in April, 1920. While The Pioneer has had a varied existence during those _twenty-six years, it has ever made gradual progress, wuntil today we feel that we can justly be proud of the class of paper we{ are giving to our subscribers. . It has ever been the policy of the paper to render the best service possible to its readers and with the many added features|! which have been made to our plant we are able to give to our subscribers a paper that will be indispensible to them. 0- 7 IS YOUR BACK YARD AND CELLAR CLEAN?
