THE STORY THAT TALKS.

There be calculations and calculations!
Bright and early Tuesday morning The
G i O b e's Vigilants' filed out of the Office,
under orders to bring back evidences of any
extraordinary growth in circulation, such
as was imputed to the Pioneer Press coolest
and Best'0. The results Of their labors ap-
pear on this page of today's G l O b e. with
such artistic establishment the situation
demanded.
Their adventures can be briefly described.
They visited only 4S of the 265 newsdealers
Of this city. The latter eonversed freely
about the wonderful growth in circulation
Of 'the only Newspaper published West of
Chicago" and Forty-eight dealers grinned
audibly as they talked.
YES" said one. II have only got 2,15O
copies Left
I'm almost sold OUT replied another. II
have exactly 1850 copies under my counter"
Eyes, the Pioneer Press is booming. 1 solo
10 copies today and am waiting for GUS
toners for the other lob copies. Sell 'em
Cheap hundred for 10 cents. All the lat
est news about the war"
Another dealer had 1000 unsold copies, an
other 900. and of the dealers who had only
500 or 600 copies there were a dozen.
To the question What is your explana-
ton Of this phenomenal growth of circula-
tion?" this one reply epitomized them all.
gan to go up two, three and four times
what we had been receiving, and we haven't
seen anybody from the Pioneer Press cold

But you are selling fifteen to twenty
times as many as you used to, the F. r.

"Nitl Nothing of the sort. The thing is

TONER"
One gentlemanly dealer volunteered the IN
formation that he could get ton and a half

| but as he was disposed to be a bull on the
nrice negotiations were declared OF by Inc
e / o b man. Hundreds of copies OF the F.

been broken were discovered in this search

Three private wagons mot wires) were en-
Moved to gather up the exhibits, which were

name of the biggest truck in st. Paul, and

| The city weigher adjusted the weights, and
| the circulation of the P. P. bounded up to
| 4 $50 pounds That is to say two and one
| third TONS or about 27, 900 copies of the p. T.

This phenomenal circulation can be in
| snected at the Peoples Express company
bnilding. Wabasha and Ninth streets: No
| body could be found at the F. once last
night who could or would explain this circu-
lation phenomenon. 1t is surmised that some
~ the Journalists on the eleventh floor, fired
Nth the zeal of modern journalism, and un-
helTnown to the business Office, either started
the presses with Let 'er go, Gallagher,
| or fixed the counters purposely to fool the
business manager.

Extensive Plans.


State Dairy Commissioner Anderson yester-
day mailed the following letter to creamery
men all over the state, urging them to as

The Mississippi and International
exposition at Omaha U. S., opens to the
world, June l. one Of the greatest EXPOSE
ton of modern times. Nothing except the
great worlds fair at Chicago has ever
eclipsed it. Many of our Minnesota public
spirited citizens have responded in a f1nan-
cial way that has put the Minnesota COM
mission on a good financial footing. The
Minnesota commission recognizes the great
and growing dairy industry of Minnesota
and the high and even grades of dairy
products manufactured, and feel that Min
nesota dairy products should have a large
exhibit at the coming exposition; This Of
fee is of the opinion that it will be great
opportunity for Minnesota's high grade
dairy products and the manufacturers Of
same to show the world that Minnesota
dairy products uneQualled.
Secretary Wolson of the United States
department Of agriculture, is making a
special effort to establish a market for our
dairy products in all foreign countries.
These are great consuming markets. The
scoring of butter and cheese at the exposi-
ton will be done by the great conxzhercial
scorers of the United States. Each exhibitor
will receive the scoring of his exhibit
which will be very valuable to the manu-
facturer. A hand-painted card will be put
on the package on exhibition, giving cream
cry and manufacturers name. The pro-
duets will be sold each month to the best
