MI. Rood, or the man who did
the guessing for the Sentinel, is a
poor guesser when he accuses the
Pioneer of making the complaint to
the postohice department of the
Sentinel's contest.
What an awful disposition a man
must have to excite himself to such
an extent that his mind will dictate
what appeared in the Sentinel April
/. A man must also have a miser-
able conscience when he commences
to judge others work by his.
Because somebody made a CON-
plant that the Sentinel contest was
violating the postal laws, Mr.. Rood
or his company is just narrow-minded
enough to Immediately accuse the
Pioneer of doing this. The poor
man probably wrote the article
hastily or without investigating the
matter, or it may be that it's ignor-
ance pure and simple.
Well forgive Mr.. Rood for such
silly bable and when he learns who
entered the complaint against the
Sentinel's contest he may have
sense enough to retract what was
said in the recent article.
The public knows, the postoffice
department knows, and if Mr..
Rood has awakened by this time,
he also should know that the Pio-
neer knew nothing whatsoever of
the complaint when it was made.
The public will also understand
that owing to the fact that the
Sentinel did not dare to publish
anything regarding the contest in
its last issue that there must be a
niger in the woodpile somewhere.
If Mr.. Rood's contest was on the
square why did he withhold his
contest announcement of this week?

NORTHERN MINNESOTA AWAKE.

IF EVERY Duluthian should
travel about the northern part Of
Minnesota these days, stop at the
fine. thrifty cities and talk with
their people, as we'll as with those
he met on the trains, his heart would
be mighty glad for his city and his
state.
For one thing, he would see, first
of all, everywhere along the line OF
every road, new farms. increased
acreage broken, new buildings and
the evident air of prosperity. In
every town and city, from the little
way station to the county seat, he
would see growth and that we'll.
groomed, well.kept, clean and sue
cessful look that begets its own
kind.
If by chance he had not passed
that way in five or ten gears, be
would be amazed at what the
interval had accomplished. The
single store at the way station has
become village, the village little
city, big school houses, new stations,
brick blocks, handsome bank build
ings, well.kept hotels and all the
ct ceteras, show how community life
has responded to the overturning
and cropping of the soil.
Everywhere is progress, and yet
more progress, and everywhere the
spirit of optimism, with the firm
belief that Northern Minnesota
time has come. Everywhere, too, is
organization. 1t is a mighty small
city that has not yet been touched by
the electric spark of doing for itself,
and 50 has not its commercial club.
The farmers are getting together.
They are rightly reasoning that
what cooperation has done for their
milk, it can DO for vegetables and
other products.
Finally, the Duluthians would find
that every one has heard of the
awakening in this city; that Duluth
is promoting agriculture and is
interested in making a market here.
They are all looking to Duluth, all
are anxious to get in touch with
Duluth, and there is a consequent
growing feeling of good will toward
this city.
Those who work together for a
common object in which each will
share the profit are partners. Duluth
and Northern Minnesota must be
partners, in this business of buying
and selling. Duluth must furnish
the market for what the farmers
have to sell, and it will find among
the farmers a reciprocal Market

Model 10 Buick, one of the best and
most popular cars of 1910 Model on

One of the earliest pioneers in

struction.

BY THE WAY

We would not think we had so
many dead friends if they were
alive and had chances to dissapoint
US.
Money can do lots, but it cannot
cause a new tooth to grow in your
face.
The woman who hesitates is not
yet born.
One great trouble with a man
partially drunk is that he always
wants to impress his sobriety on
the policeman.
