ster county was the opinion express
ed by Mr.. Douglas. Supervisor P. j.
Mitchell and Chairman D. J. Cough
Ion Of the board, today in discussing
the good roads proposition in Web
ster county. Drainage. however, has
been the prime requisite. This coun-
ty has done much drainage SO that
part OF that work has been done.
Chairman Coughlon of the board
believes it will be good thing to
take roads and bridges away from
the county supervisors who have all
they can do looking after the drain
age proposition. He believes the road
question should be put into the
hands of commission appointed by
the governor to look after roads.
This commission will appoint one or
more men in each county, at q sal
airy, to superintend the construction
and maintenance Of roads. This is
the plan that will be introduced by
the Iowa Good Roads club before the
legislature this winter.

councils state legislatures and the national congress-
and they have their eye on every man who comes up

the protection of their business nobody can blame

We heartily commend the above appeal to the
earnest consideration of every reader 1t is in line

with the above request Especially is this true of
physicians. The medical profession is in possession

facts be ascertaned and classified it would constitute
the most telling indictment brought against the
liquor traffic This is the purpose of the present
movement. We hope readers will promptly

who will die The saloonists have been known
to plan in their great conventions how they may best
create an alcoholic appetite among the boys One
speaker, in such convention urged the assembled
saoonsts to be generous with the boys; "As," said
he "nickels spent in treating the boys will return in
dollars to the saoonkeepes till after the appetite has
once been formed"
The liquor traffic. in gigantic measure, augments
human misery. The supreme court of the United
States specifically declares that the statistics of
every state show larger of crime and misery

PORK DISHES.

Pork is not an aristocratic meat, a.
though it is the basis of an enormous
industry. Ham and bacon are not
without honor, but there are few cook
books that mention the cooking Of
fresh pork, and rarely the preparation
of salt pork, which Is mainly used
with baked beans. Cold roast pork 10
as appetizing as any meat, and makes
most acceptable salad combined
with celery, as one does In preparing
chicken salad. IA.
It is only those who are privileged
to raise and fatten their own pork
who fully enjoy it. Country life and
country occupations furnish the right
conditions for eating pork. Since tho
rise in the price Of pork it. has been
regarded with greater esteem.
The most important thing to be 70
membered in the cooking of pork is
that it should be. thoroughly done.

Chopped salt pork, a cupful, added
to a homely fruit cake using dried
apple and molasses, makes a cake dt
for any epicure.
Spare ribs with sour kraut is an
other homely but weu-liked dish Of
our grandmother's.
Bacon wrapped around an oyster
and skewered with q toothpick,
then boiled or baked in q hot oven is
another ladylike dainty.
A stuffed sparerib may be new to
some. Try, if possible, to buy ono
that has little meat left on the
bones; fill with stuf1ng we'll sea-
soned with onion or sage and put on
top another sparerib. Place in pan
with a half cup of boiling water and
roast an hour, basting often. The
potatoes may be peeled and baked
around the sparerib. ~.

chopped onion, little tomato catsup
and a bay leaf, salt and pepper. Put
into buttered bag and bake on the
rack in a hot oven for ten minutes.
Serve in the bag so that the dish

Pork chops to be juicy and at the

it all boil away, then season and

1t will be easier for you to pay
your subscription in advance than to
pay for it after you have had it. No
body likes paying for a dead horse.
If you want the Pioneer after April

and then for a period in advance at

think of it.
News has been received of the mar
riage Of Mrs. J. E. Lindgren, of Min
neapolis, and Jens Jorgenson, of
Hayward, Wis. The marriage took
place at Minneapolis Thursday after
noon. Mr.. and Mrs. Jorgenson will
make their home at Hayward where
Mr.. Jorgenson is county auditor. Mrs.
Lindgren is well known in Bemidji
having made her home here a year
ago. She is sister Of Dwight D.
Miller of this city and of Miss Olive
Miller of Minneapolis. ...
A habit you should have acquired
long ago is to pay for your paper in
advance. There is hardly a newspa-
per and no magazines that will be
sent out unless they are paid for in
advance. The Pioneer has adopted
this new method and on top of that
it has cut the rate down to $4.OO a
year. If you do not wish to miss an
issue don't wait until the last day.
Those who do may be disappointed,
as every subscriber who is not paid
up will be discontinued. Practical
ly everyone has signified his inten-
tion to "stick," don't be among the
"quitters.'
