And many a jewelry merchant would still be repairing watches if the light of publicity through the advertising columns of the home-town paper had not been used,” Every day shows evidence of these facts, and then when you hear a fellow say, “it does not pay to advertise,” you are almost compelled to.smile sneeringly. Don’t do it, brother edi- tor, but keep everlastingly at the educational program of prov- ing the facts as they really exist:’ Thus far; advertising has been used only by commercial industries to any great extent, but the: future holds much in store for the publications, which hold fast to the rule that it must be the TRUTH, whan their columns are used, | ; pand PR A T BUSINESS AND PLEASURE Minnesota representatives at the National Capitol-are plan-| ning on spending the holidays at their respective homes, and‘ among the number is United States Senator Kellogg. Senator Knute Nelson may not be among the number. Senator Kellogg isa candidate for re-election and his holiday visit will be a com- bination of pleasure and politics, though in his announcement as a candidate for renomination, he gaves notice that his steward- ship could be his one appeal. Friends, however, may insist on a few speeches, That Senator Kellogg will be a convention wln- ner is unquestioned. Some may have other views, but it has to| be said that convenhon and primary dope run hig way. [, S—— The contnbutnon made by the Salvation Army, and other organizations through the Salvation Army, of sixty-five Christ- mas baskéts was a worthy one. It represented, not only con- siderable money but much time and work in putting the baskets up. Many hearts were gladdened on Christmas Day by the gen- erosity of those who contributed toward the baskets. It is only. those who visit the homes where these baskets are sent that know the meed of them and the spirit of thankfulness in which they are received, 0- Eugene V. Debs, who has been a prlsoner in Atlanta prison for the past thirty-three months, under ‘the cspionage act, walked from the prison Christmas day a free man. He was greeted on all sides as he left, we are told. President:Harding, though many times importuned not to do so, ordered the Social- ist’s release along with 23 other federal ‘prisoners. It was'a splendid Christmas present for Debs and we presume he did not forget to send the president his card of greetings. e () v THE CITY APPRECIATES BOX COMPANY ! The news that the Bemidji Box Company has already be-|, gun rebuilding its saw mill will be welcomed by business Be-': midji as well as by those who have been employed there, This prompt action on the part of the Box Company is evidence ofv faith in this section of the country and will create increased op-! timism in the minds of those who already believe in the future' of Bemidji, . S Christmas passed off quietly in Bemidji. It is not often that and the day following to recover from the effects. The spirit of good-will was everywhere evident, and especially was this| the case in the various Sunday school entertainments where thel children have comeito leam that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and where their gifts were given to make poor chil- dren happy. A : | R " WATTERSON’S DEATH A NATIONAL LOSS | The passing of Henry Watterson, noted editor of the Louxs-‘ ville Courier-Journal, takes from the field of journalism one of ! the most forceful writers this country has ever known. ‘He| moulded nation-wide public opinion and his editorials’ were quoted the world over. The nation loses a great mind by his death. . . . ! - L a Postmaster General Will H. Hays sent his greetings:to the editor of The Pioneer, and, we presume, every other editorlike- wise received them. They prressed his appreiation fox; the co-operation extended the postal service by the newspapers in assisting in presenting to the people the “mml early” and “wrap secure]y” ideas. 0 Christmas did not bring cheer to the home of George Erick- son, publisher of the Spooner Northern News. Instead, the pass- ing away on Wednesday of his father at Red Wing, brought sad- ness and bereavement. The Pioneer extends to Mr. and Mrs Erlckson smcerest sympathy in their hour of sadness. IR ER LY, TR CHRISTMAS THEATRE PARTIES The Minneapolis Journal, the. northwest’s gregte it 1 paper, is conducting a series of theatre parties for the peopl the Twin Cities and is meeting with“success.
