This may not be good news for the railroads nor good i propaganda to spread, but unless they spend less time trying to ¢ settle wage disputes and discussing how to get the shipper and ; the consumer lower freight rates and passenger rates, gasoline 7 vehicles are going to seriously invade their field as they are al- + ready doing. [ Many people are finding it cheaper to ride in their cars| . than to pay the prevailing charges for a ticket on the railroads; and shippers are using the truck more and more in preference| ; to the freight car. Household goods may be loaded into a big!} * van in-one city, transported fifty or a hundred miles and deliv- _ered at the door of the new location without any damage to them, with much quicker dispatch and less cost, and this is what - is going to count. ¥ ~ What will happen to railroads the future will tell—the handwriting is plain. 0 Some people study all their lives and at their death they have'learned everything except to think.—Domergue. THE SUN STILL SHINES In spite of all the great gobs of gloom which have been| released by chronic mourners, little red varasites, incurable agi- tators and smoked glass wearers in the past six months, Old Sol| * still continues to shine with his usual brilliance and traditional heat, The grass is as green as usual, the rooster gets up just as| . early as usual and crows just as loud, and, from all outward | . appearances, everything is about as usual with the world. It| ; has not ended yet, as many have foretold, and there are still| lots of near human beings who are wearing their colored glasses . and see the world in a rather billious condition, but don’t let i them sell you a pair of those spees. They will ruin your eyes| and make you sick. — 0- FARMERS ARE TO BE INVESTIGATED Fl Both branches of congress have adopted the resolution ask-| ing for an investigation of agricultural conditions. Therefore, | i we are to be investigated. Our-national government is anxious| { tofind out what is the matter with us. Presumably, when the| facts in the case are learned, something will be done. Since ‘ these national investigations usually occupy from two to four years, during which time conditions are continually changing, the final conclusions are likely to be out of date. We cannot at| . this moment, indeed, recall any “investigation” that ever| - amounted to anything, and we are not particularly elated over the present prospect. But an investigation will not hurt any-| thing. It might help. Therefore, let the inquisitorial wheels begin to turn.—Farm Life. et THE COUNTY EXHIBIT FOR THE STATE FAIR 1t is to be hoped that the appeal which comes from those who have in charge the securing of exhibits for the State Fair | | | | | ¥ THE BEMIDJI DAYLY PIONEER EARLY SEASON CALLS FOR EARLY SEED CORN SELECTION e R ) SELECTED X by spen o SNPIARNC BT pe SR IRREAN, “\“?‘ SR RO R, SEPT..5-15 | corn to be planted next year, In order to give a chance for re- selecting in the spring after ger- mination tests have been made.

Paul, has year after year fixed on September 10-20 as Seed Corn Time—a period for the special harvesting of seed corn for the follow- ing year’s planting. Killing frosts do not come in Minnesota usually until after September 20. This year, because of the early sea- ‘son and the advanced stage of'.the corn crop, farmers have an extra chance to beat the attacks of the fnost king. The corn crop has matured earlier than usual because it got ian early start, and to get corn that will mature in about the same number lof days next year selection should be made somewhat carlier than usual. Corn may have to be . planted later next year than it was planted this, and if it is not early-mwaturing it may not come through in-time to escape next year's frosts, FOR. THESE REASONS SEED QORN TIME THIS YEAR HAS BEEN SET, FOR—. September 5-15. So between September 5 and 15 this! fall— Select your seed corn. Store It at once in a dry well ventllated place where it will dry quickly and stay dry. Select 60 ears for every acre of \ igrains of corn from runty, distorted, «crooked ears, which have matured ilate, he will get the same kind of corn ‘he planted: that is, if he gets any at | all. 1f, as suggested, however, he sows late-maturing corn, the frost king is likely to get it and the sower to get nothing. What one should do, according to the universal testimony of good corn-growers, therefore, is to | select— Corn that has matured early— | before * killing-frost time—from * the standing stalks in the.field. Ears of moderate size, but shap- ed to standards now recognized as desirable wherever corn s grown. Ears with grains having’ good broad tips,. giving a larger propor- tion of cob to the ear than kernels with small pointed tips. Having made his’ selection of the kind of corn.he would like to grow th next year, one should take care ¢ what he has selected by seeing to it- That it has a chance to dry be- fore killing frosts come.

This opiiion was expressed in an ingerview by Senator .Artom, presi- dent of the Italian Colonial Institute, and an expert in foreign politics, which he stupdied. at the Foreign Of- fice before he became first deputy and then a senator. “The terms of a particular agree- ment between England and Italy for the Near East could not be discussed by the press before its conclusion,” sair Artom, ‘“‘because not even. the most mecdest commercial convention could” be concluded, if its terms were discussed beforehand. All that can be said is that a return to the principle of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, which. for long formed an important part of European public law, would seem advisable, and should form the base of an agree- ment with Italy. Certainly, the conduct of Turkey during the war has aroused legiti- mate rancour in Eurcpean public opinion, certainly, the passage of the Straits can no longer remain the monopoly of Turkey, nor of any other power. But with this reservation, rancour cannot be the base of a wise policy; Europe will help herself and the great cause of human liberty by assisting the resurrection of the Otto- man nationality, on condition that it gives all the necessary guarantees for the protection of the rights of the other Oriental races and of legiti- mate Kuropean interests. “The strengthening of the agree- ment already existing between the governments of London, Paris and Rome, and the conclusion also. of special arrangements for most ugent questions, such as that of the Near East, constitutes a real and vital ne- cessity for Europe.” “The agreement before all ekse ghould be based upon the interests and the need of unity between the three Great Pcwers for the defense of | the system of order against the pre- valence of the revolutionary of| Bolshevist tendencies which have for | some time threatened Europe.” i —_— | IEEEE RS R EEEE LR DR RN * HORNET * ITXEZRER RS S R 0 0 BN Amorg those who were in Black- duck on Monday were Miss Nellie!

Custodian at New Bath In Earlier Days In former times, when the town butcher or farmer himself dressed and cured the meat for the community, he could not always tell how it would turn out, His methods were crade; partly traditional, partly guesswork. kiis tests were few and inconclusive. Meat packing of today, as carricd on by Swift & Company, has changed all that. Itis scientific. Nothing is left to chance; nothing taken for granted. The most painstaking care and attention are given to everystep. Processes are worked out on a large scale with minute exactness. Methods are continually revised and improved. Cleanliness is insisted upon. Drastic, incessant inspections are the order of the day.
