ADDITIONAL SHORT LOCALS,

N. D., travelling freight agent for
the Great Northern Railway COM
pany, spent yesterday in the city
looking after some business for his
company. Mr.. Merritt ne yer
besitates to pronounce Bemidji as
being one of the greatest freight
shipping points in northern Mime
ota. He's a hustler and gets his
share of business for the G. N.
The north-bound M & T. morn
ing passenger train, due here at 4:3O
O'Clock, did not arrive until 7:1O,
because oftan unavoidable .delay.at
Walker. The locomotive hauling
the north-bound local" M. & I.
freight train became stalled at
Walker and -'''died".. on the track,
leaving string of cars on the main
line so that the passenger, which
came 4 along this morning, could not
pass. AN engine was sent down
from Bemidji this morning and the
freight was hauled onto a side track
when the passenger was hauled by
on the main track and brought to
Bemidji, leaving for. the north, at

ZONE GALLUS CLUB" WILL SUCCEED
KITCHEN CABINET"

George F. Author, in the Mime.
apolis Tribune, says that Governor
Eberhart's official family has not in.
herited the name of Kitchen
Cabinet" and may be known merely
as an extension of the "One Gallus
club" which used to meet in the
office of Secretary of State julius
Schmahl. Now that Mr.. Day has
gone into the book making business,
he and his friends seem likely to be-
come known as the Literary
Junta''-at least until the book is
prepared.
The editor of the Pioneer was a
member of this famous Zone Gallus
Club" which was was instituted by
Jim Larson" assistant secretary OF
state. But one day we HE'D us into
the secretary of states office with
buttons on our pantaloons which
had been sewed on by the tailor,
and were compelled to pay fine oil

from the club, one of the regulations
being that nothing but patent
buttons or horseshoe nail should
be allowed to hold "galluses.' We
liqudated.
And that same: "Gallus Club. has
decided many momentous questions
of state in times gone by.

sUBScRIPT|oN---S5.oos PER YEARsIN ADVANCE
THE BRETHREN SHOULD GET TOGETHER.

Notice has been given that the
members of rth-Centraf Editorial
association formerly the Great
Northern) will meet at Sank Center
on Friday. December 3, for the pur-
pose of electing officers for the next
year, and talking over matters of
great import to the news fraternity
in this section.
There are several matters 9sthat
should be freely discussed at this
meeting, and one of them is the pas
senger and mail service accorded the
towns lying along the Bemidji-Sauk
Center line of the Great Northern
railway.
The organization of this editorial
association was brought about at
an "indignation' meeting of the
editors in those towns who were
assembled to name a committee to
visit the Offices of the G.. N. railway
and demand better service. The
committee visited the general Offices
in St. Paul and were assured that if
they would not kick" the company
would improve the service-but not
to kick, in any event, as that would
spoil it all.
The editors didn't kick" with the
result that the same old service has
been continued, with no night train
or train on Sunday, and there pro-
badly never will be any improvement
unless the brethren of the press get
busy with their pencils and roast out
the officials.
Towns south of Bemidji are en-
titled to better passenger and mail
service, and it can be secured if
proper 'hammering" is brought to
bear.

GOOD PAPER BENEFITS EVERYONE.

There is nothing that calls atten-
ton and draws people to a city or
town equal to a good newspaper.
In order for a man to make good
newspaper he must have the patron
age Of the people among whom he
lives. If he has halfway support it
stands to reason that he must make
poorer paper, and in doing this
every man and woman in the CITY
and surrounding country has to bear
portion of the loss. For this rea-
son, if for no other, the man who
tries to make a good newspaper
should have the support of his town
people, all of whom reap fully as
much benefit from it's efforts as he
does.

Offer.

We could not afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall ''o3" Hair Tonic
and continue to sell it as we do, if
we. were not so certain tbat5it would
do allsw claim it will. Should our
enthusiasm carry us away, and
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic, not give
entire satisfaction to the users they
would lose faith in us, and our
statements. and in consequence our
business prestige would suffer.
Therefore, when we, assure, you
that if your hair is beginning Ito
unnaturally fall outssora if you have
any scalp trouble Rexall "93n Hair
ionic will promptly eradicate dan
druf, stimulate hair growth and
prevent premature badness, you
may rest assured that I'VE know
what we are talking about.
IS Outs1ot one hundred test cases
Rexall :93' Hair Tonic gave entire
satisfaction in .ninety-three cases.
1t has been proved that it will grow
hair even on :. bald heads, when, of
course, the badness had not existed
for SO long time that the follicles,
which are the roots lof the. hair, had
not become absolutely lifeless.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is vastly
different from, other similar prepara-
lions. We believe that it will do
more than any other human agency
toward restoring hair growth and
hair health. 1t is not greasy and
will not gum the scalp or hair or
cause permanent stain. 1t is as
pleasant to use as pure cold water.
Our faith. in Rexall '93" Hair
Tonic is so 81 strong that I'VE ask
you to- try it on our positive guaran-
tee that, your money will be cheer
fully refunded without question or
bubble if it does not do as we claim.
Certainly we can offer no stronger
argument. It comes: in two sizes,
prices so cents and $1.OO. Remem-

The dispatches announcing
the reduction of wages among
those iron and steel workers en-
ployed on a percentage or sliding
scale basis, following the cut In
prices ordered by the United
States Steel corporation, do not
tell the whole story.
The wages of the workers not
employed under the percentage
system will also be reduced on
May 1, and perhaps sooner. .
1t is unlikely that there will
be a general strike inaugurated
in the trust mills. From its in
ception the trust has antagonized
organization among its employees
and so successful has been this
opposition that today not more
than 20 per cent of the trust op-
|eratives are in unions.
The most effective of the trusts
plains to hinder organization was
the disposal of stock at special
rates to it's thousands of workers.
Many purchased stock through
fear of losing their jobs, and
others because they believed ii
would be good investment.
So even the union men will
hesitate to strike against a wage
reduction for fear of losing their
jobs and investments. Some of
the organized workers are already
being assured that II they stick to
the trust they will be assured
steady employment, and that the
reduction will probably be re-
stored as soon as the trust drives
certain of it's competitors from
the open market and is able to
advance prices.
No matter what the outcome
may be of the various moves on
the iron and steel chessboard al
the present time, the tens OF
thousands of workers will bear
the brunt Of the Industrial battle
