HoTTIME FOR DELlNouENrs.

We clip the following from one of
our exchanges to warn our delinquent
subscribers what a hot time they will
have if they fail to pay their news
paper bills. The same fate awaits
our slow-paying advertisers:
An editor who died of starvation
was being escorted to Heaven by an
nigel sent for that purpose. May
just glance in at the other place be-
fore we ascend to eternal happiness 2"
So they went below and skirmishing
around, taking in the sights. It so
happened that the angel lost track of
the editor and went around Hades
hunting him. He found him sitting
by an enormous furnace, tanning him
self and gazing with rapture upon
a crowd Of lost souls in the fire. Over
the furnace was a sign bearing the
words, Delinquent subscribers"
Come said the angel, we must be
going now You go on said the
editor, I'm not going. This is heaven
enough for me.

rusts, and weeds and insects too
numerous to mention all accumulate
in the soil under the one-crop system.
These pests often multiply to such
an extent that ultimately it becomes
impossible to secure profitable returns
from land thus infested. Resistant
varities must then be secured or crops
cultivated on land not subjected to
these pests. All these troubles can
be avoided and the fertility of the soil

The Spirit Of Later=Day
Advertising

AS we have said before, the pur-
pose Of The Pioneer is first of all
to serve it's readers. To do this
is not only the right moral atti-
tude toward our constituency but
1t is good business, speaking from
a purely business standpoint.
And so it is that we point out
from day to day the advertising
features of this paper and the ad-
vantages to be gained from keep
ing posted in all of the news thus
presented.
The spirit of advertising is diff
ferent today from that of few
years ago. The idea no longer is
to fool and to misrepresent, but
to conform and to invite. And it
is the constant aim of the good
merchant to stick resolutely to
facts.
1t is this spirit on the part Of
advertisers that makes for conf
dence and enables us to direct the
attention of our readers to the
profitable practice of "ad' reading,
feeling that in so doing We rend-
er them distinct service.

Insects cause us an estimated loss

Insects cause us an estimated loss
of $700,00O,0O0-a year in agricultural
products now. A long study of the
food of birds shows that this loss
would be much greater were it not
for our feathered friends, and that
even the hawk and owl spend most
of their time in pursuit of insects,
mice and other injurious animals.
The stomach of one bird examined
contained 1900 small insects of a
kind, very destructive to fruit trees.
These and hundreds of other inter
esting facts are stated in this bull
letin,> but the most striking feature
is the liberal use of pictures in color
which make it appeal to all children
and bird lovers from six to sixty. -
