COMMUNICATION.

The following letter was received
Tuesday by the editor of the Pioneer.
1t presents the side of the potato
warehouse case not covered by the
Cassler letter which was printed on
Monday night. The Pioneer does not
care to become the medium for the
expression of any personal feeling on
one side or the other, but if there are
persons who believe they can bring
any new facts to light, the columns
are open to them.
Sept. "a, 1912.
Harold J. Dane.
Dear Sir: In last nights Pioneer
there was an article published with
the heading Farmers Want a Vege-
table Market, !" which was written by
wv. A. Cassler, in his letter to Harold
]. Dane, editor Of the Pioneer, under
date of September 18th, stating while
in the Twin Cities last week, he
saw a number of produce buyers, and
found that they were anxious to get
into Bemidji to do business, especial
" the Ryan Produce Co. of Mime
apolis.
AS all the farmers know from last
years experience, the Fitzsimmons-
Baldwin Co. bought all the potatoes
they could buy and IS per cent of
the onions, and paid top market
price. The latter mentioned COM
pany were the ones that boosted po-
tatoes to the top notch. We paid out
the total amount of s1S,665.73 for
vegetables and potatoes last season,
and our books are open for inspec-
ton for any who are willing to in
vestigate.
We have installed a $4,000 elec-
trio elevator to handle the potatoes
and vegetables this coming season,
instead of erecting a potato ware
house, which we do not think would

practically gave our creamery ma
chinery away, in order to make room
for farmers products. 20
We have leased the land between
our building and the Great Northern
tracks to erect a potato warehouse
when same is needed. Same was leas-
ed last February.
In his letter, Mr.. Cassler states that
the D. E. Ryan Co. of Minneapolis
will furnish No. 1 seeds. If the far
mers will remember, this spring the
ID. E. Ryan Co. made the statement
that they would furnish the farmers
| with all the seeds they wanted, and
when the farmers called for the seed
they were told there was none to be
had; while the Fitzimmons-Baldwin
Co. had plenty of good seed stock

have been purchased at from soc tt

G0PHERS MUST FIGHT
Are Up Against Veteran Team
When They Play South Dakota
On Saturday.
COYOTES ARE OUT TO WIN

Vermillion, S. D., Sept. 25.-For
the past week more than thirty men
have been in active practice on the
South Dakota gridirun. This is the
largest squad Coach Henderson has
ever had to work with. Most of them,
new men, are experienced and have
shown remarkable ability. All but
two of the old players are back, Cliff
Coffey and Trackaberry. Their plac-
es are filled by Meter, a man who
has already achieved football fame.
He is equally as fast as -Coffey and
much heavier. Coach Henderson says
Meter is the most versatile new man
he has seen in his football expert
ence. Adler, another new man, will
take Thacka berry's position. He is
valuable for his kicking ability and
his marvellous forward passing. He
charges fast and hits the line even
better than the former star.
Askew, the rightguard, who raised
such havoc with the Minnesota line
last year, returned Saturday and is
in excellent condition. The other
guard position is being holly contest
ed for by new men, Brooks and John
son, both of whom weigh over 100
and are very fast.
Granting that the old veterans will
hold their positions the line will
practically be same as last year.
Downing and Barrett at tackles are
doing better work than they did last
year Potts at center is fighting
hard to keep his old position against
Wiley, scrub of last year, who has
been showing up exceptionally well
The back field will be fully as fast
! as that which performed against the
Gophers last fall. Sheeks, right half
is playing the best football of his car
eer. His drop-kicking is likely to be
more accurate than formerly. He ha.
been practicing the drop all summer
and just now his toe seems to be in
fallible. Captain Pat Coffey will
hold his old position at quarter. H,

than any captain they ever had ant

(By United Press

Colon, Panama, Sept. 25-Word
has just been received here that
Twenty-Five American blue jackets
have been massacred at Leon, Mica
ragua, after they had killed forty re-
volutionists. Blue jackets and mar
ines were landed from American war
ships to protect foreign lives and
property and to police railroads. The
Nicaraguans deeply resented this and
the clash was the outcome of the
feeling.

Nelson and superintendent Mcguire

product of the times in which they live?'
doubtless lies in the fact that they were
not 'meen Of the times" but men for
the times" The fact that they were at
war with the conditions which surround
ed them shows conclusively that they
were not of the same stamp as their
fellowmen. The splendid roster of heroes
named above were men who felt with
God; were filled with His spirit glowed
with His love. and had fiery zeal which
knew. no turning back.
The weak and evil men and women Of
a period may be symptomatic OF the age
in which they live, but the prophets OF
each age are God-sent "men for the
times" God raised them up to use a
scriptural phrase. and they stood out
against the evils Of their age, at once the
shame and hope of those to whom they
called.
II. God and the times All times are
now" with God. We think in past, in
present and in time to come: but where
God sits. supreme upon the throne, all
things are now. The plan is His; the
question that should give US, pause is:
How do fit in with Gods great plan!
Am / the hero He would have me be?
And do l measure up to those hne guam,
ties of character and courage that shaii
help to make these times more truly Ills!
These are Gods times, and never more
SO than at this hour. when the great mis-
sionary and men and religion movements
are breaking down the barriers that nave
separated creeds, and are making men to
feel that oneness with Christ means one
ness with each other.
The plans of God are plain; His promises contain
The program and the power for doing right:
God sits upon the throne. Keeping watch ABOVE
His own"
And His prophets supported by His might.

subtopic asks. Are men the
product of the times in which they liver
The Scriptures given us bear upon the
lives Of two great heroes; real men, who
lived their stirring lives in two of the
most heroic periods of history. jeremiah
was rolling his prophetic thunders above
the heads of the children of Israel, at
the very moment when Aesop was cor
recting the thought and sharpening the
wits of Greece with his imperishable
fables.
Paul. ranking with the bravest and
best, fought with wild beasts, braved
stormy seas. faced lynching at the hand
OF raging mobs and died under cruel
Nero, sharing with Seneca. the greatest
of the heather moralists, the honor of
dying for principle, at the hands Of one Of
the most unprincipled of monarchs known
to history. And Paul lived, loved and
served in the very heart of the Angus
tinian age. Both of these Bible heroes
suffered for their frankness in rebuking
sin; both left imperishable monuments
In their writings. Heroes they were in
the noblest sense of the word. Were
they the product OF the times in which
they lived. or did they create and
chronicle those great events for which
their age is renowned?
Do the times make men and heroes?
Did the Syrian oppression make Judas
Maccabaeus? Did the Augustinian age

make Oliver Cromwell and John Bunyan,
or the revolution Washington. Franklin
and Jefferson? Did the rebellion make
Lincoln or Manila bay Dewey? The
young people of America would do we'll
to consider these great historical ques-
tons.
