Discusses Conditions.

Banking conditions were dis
sussed by the speaker, who said in
part:
"The fact That 95 per cent of the
business of this country is done upon
credit, and that the use of actual
money In transactions has been re-
duced to the minimum, makes it very
easy for people who DO not properly
discriminate between credit and
money itself to become confused in
the application of the terms; and es-
pecially is this likely to be the case
with those who have given SO little
study to the subject that they look
upon a bank as being an institution
dealing in money, whereas, in real
ity bank deals in credit, and the
money it carries in its vaults Is only
an incident to its business, being
carried only in an amount sufficient
under the law of averages to make
1t possible for the bank to pay its
obligations upon demand under nor
NAL conditions.
This confusing of credit with
money, as 1t is related to business,
has caused much misapprehension on
this subject and resulted in more or
less honest criticism by those who do
not realize that the money Power"
as IT is usually applied relates to the
power or control of the credit which
may be extended against either
money or other tangible liquid as
sets easily or quickly convertible into
money; and In view of the temper
OF the people toward large aggrega-
tions of capital, it is not surprising
that there has also arisen much con-
fusion and misconcepticp through
the use of the words Money Power.
and Money Trust Oftentimes,
where quotations of alleged state
ments are made. the word Trust Is.
either through confusion or arbi-
trarily, substituted for the word
Power making It appear as Money
Trust thereby changing the mean

inally made.

GRANDM0THERS
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Restore
Gray and. Faded Hair to It's
Natural Color

1t is easier to preserve the color
of the hair than to restore it, al
though it is possible to do both. Our
grandmoth understood the secret
They made a "sage tea,'' and their
dark, glossy hair long after middle
life was due to this fact. Our moth-
ers have gray hairs before they are
fifty, but they are beginning to ap-
preciate the wisdom Of our grand
mothers in using sage tea for their
hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the adj
vantage of the past in that it can
get ready-to-use preparation call
ed Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy. AS a scalp tonic and color
restorer this preparation is vastly SUI
perior to the ordinary sage tea
made by our grandmot others.
The growth and beauty Of the hair.
depends on a healthy condition Of
the scalp. Weyth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand-
ruff germs which rob the hair of It's
life, color and lustre, makes the scalp.
clean and healthy, gives the hair.
strength, color and beauty, and.
makes it grow.

Good News for Road Makers.

Beginning on Monday next, the
Pioneer will start a series Of articles
in road making. These articles have
been written by Logan Waller Page,
director of the Office of public roads
Of the United States department of
agriculture, for number, of daily
papers and the Pioneer has been for
tunate enough to secure the series.
There are twelve two-column articles
in the series and one article will be
run each evening, making the series
extend through two weeks. In the
Weekly Pioneer these articles. will
be extended over one month. Every
road overseer in the county should
read what Mr.. Page has to say. He
is an authority and will be able to
give many valuable pointers. A good
way to keep these articles is to clip
them as they are published and make
a file of them. b.

The Walker Smoker

The large attendance at the smok-
er held in the Commercial club
rooms last night was gratifying to
those who had proposed that the
Walker club be invited to Bemidji.
These informal meetings cannot help
but make for closer relationship be-
tween Bemidji and the towns en-
tertained The club should not stop
with Cass Lake and Walker. A
series of smokers with Bagley, Fos-
ston, Crookston, Thief River Falls,
Brainerd and International Falls
would not only make for closer
feeling in business lines but would
prove good advertising for this city.

Amundson's Story

In the Pioneer. tonight, will be
found the story of the discovery of
the south pole as told by Captain

nine degrees below zero and that
they travelled in that temperature
for several weeks After seeing the
pictures of the antartics explorers

it was much colder. Minnesota s

owing to the fact that the English had
