From the They are surely doing their part to give Bmidji people extra value for their,money. ! . No mail order house catalogue ever carried such bargains to the homes of Bemidji as did last night’s Daily Pioneer. The merchants are not only making the price attractive, but are al- ways ready to stand behind their merchandise. A housewife’s dollar will go farther tomorrow than it has been able to go for a long time. There are many pre-war prices, and some even lower than they were before the war. The wise, thrifty house- wife will put her market basket on her arm early tomorrow morning and take advantage of the real bargains offered in the Dollar Day offerings. TR L ) EXIT THE POSTAGE STAMP 4 The first of the new electrically driven machines to be au- thorized by the government for metering and printing first- class mail in private offices began work in August in a number of New York’s largest offices including the John Wanamaker store, the New York Telephone Co., the National City Bank and the New York Times. f One of these new machines can seal, count, stamp, post- mark, cancel and stack envelopes at the rate of 250 a minute. With these machines in general use the mailing of letters not . only in the large offices but also in the postoffice itself will be | revolutionized. It will be a tremendous saving of time and la- bor for the postal employees and will likewise be a large item of saving for the institutions employing the machines. ‘The Brook]yn office of the New York Telephone Company : -was one of the first to install a'postage meter. This company ' mails 175,000 bills at the end of every month. The time for- merly required there to seal and stamp. 175,000 letters by hand was 21,370 minutes, representing ‘the time of one clerk for 53 i days. The postage meter working at the rate of 250 a minute | can seal, count, postmark, cancel and stack them up ready for 3 distribution’ in 23 1-3 hours. This represents a ratio of prac- tically 1 to 53 in the matter of saving to the mailer, to say noth- ing of the saving to the postoffice department. i e il AL WISE WORDS FOR AMERICA TO HEED- There are possibly few men who have come to our shores either in official capacity or for a friendly visit from foreign shores who have been a better and more respected, friend to America than Lord Bryce, once ambassador from England. He has written a book called “The American Commonwealth,” which| perhaps describes America as well or better than any product of a native son. Notwithstanding its author is an Eng- lishman, and when he writes of America, he writes of a politi- cal institution entirely different from the national organization into which he himself was born. Lord Bryce is therefore a man who may well be heeded when he speaks on disarmament as he did in an address made in New York just.pefore leaving for England. In that address he said very plainly and very frankly: “It has been sometimes supposed that armaments make for peace. They do not. They make for war. The existence of great armaments in a country fosters a large class who know how to make armaments and how to work them, It creates a desire to use arma- ments which exist; it keeps the idea of war con- stantly before the minds of the people; it makes it seem a natural and probable thing and diminishes the horror with which the advent ‘of war ought to be re- garded.” P These were the words spokén by Ambassador Bryce, ac+ cording to the Associated Press report. They are wise words spoken by a wise man, and they ought to carry much weight— and they will. ! OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR THE PAMPERED SON Le Sueur Herald: A case of depravity, seldom equalled, comes fron Sioux Falls, S.’D. - Allen Moe, son of Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Moe, owners of the largest and most successful hospital in that state, attending the Minnesota “U,” piloted a professional thief to the home of his parents where $10,000 worth of dia- monds and: furs wete stolen. For his share of the loot Allan received one diamond ring which he pawned for $20, the thief taking the balance. The Herald editor has known the Moe family for more than twenty years. They e wonderful people. Dr. Moe has built up a hospital that has patients from all parts of the United States, and he has made a fortune. Allan was sent to the state “U” where he entered the medical department. He got into fast company. His parents furnished him with a Packard car and ajliberal cash allowance, but his companions kept gaining on him, kept just «.a'little ahead, he thought, so he coneeived‘the idea of going back home and robbing his.parents, who already hiid done more for him than he deserved. It was a short step for Allan to take, but it has ruined his life, and broken he spirits of his father and mothery:life will never hold for them the charms t has in_the past, but they will work on to the end, and be glad when it comes.: It isan awful blow to the parents,bringing untold suffering as result of .one false step. { .
