Something To Learn.

Are You by chance one of the few
mortals who are always looking a
round for something new to learn?
Are you one Of the limited number
who are great enough and wise en-
ough to realize their own imperlec
tions?
Have you mounted sufficiently higl
upon the ladder OF intelligence tC
crave the privilege OF ascending tc
to even greater heights?
GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY.
You will not be the only brainy
man or woman in that aSsemblage
You will not even be the only one
who is conscientiously endeavoring tC
stimulate the body, the mind, and
the soul.
The preacher knows few things
it is possible he may even know as
as much as you--fot his store of know
ledge is extracted from the Great
Book, the fount Of all wisdom.
In any event, his thoughts will
touch upon certain viewpoints which
perchance may flow in different chan
nels from your own, and therein lies
the opportunity for adding TO the
sagacity and wisdom which lifts you
to eminence in the world of men.
Every normal brain radiates know
ledge of some kind or other, and the
brain OF the minister is trained 10
impart that knowledge to others.
There is much yet in this world for
us to learn. and still more of the
greater and longer life to come.
Go to Church Sunday, where 1t is
free for the accepting.
You will be in good company, and
among friends.
The hand of welcome beckonS. and
the door stands ajar with no sentry
to bar your entrance.
Are you going?

A New Feature For The Pioneer


Commencing with the first issue Of
the Pioneer in the new Year (next
week. the Pioneer will each week
print half tone picture of some Mel
lette county scene, either farm
scene, bit of our natural scenery, or
a scene about town, We hope to car
~ out this feature throughout the en-
tire year, and there are only two
things that will keep us from doing
so, and that is not being able to get
the pictures from which to make the
illustrations and the other that the
expense will prove so great that We
will find it too great a drain on our
resources to keep up this feature.
We do not anticipate any trouble
along either of these lines, however,
and we will start the new feature next
week. If you have some good pic
lures of Mellette county scenes I'VE
would like to get one, and in the
meantime tell your friends about this
new feature in the Pioneer and ask
them to enroll their name on our
subscription list if they have not al
ready done So If you want to do a
little boosting send the Pioneer to
some friend in the east during the
coming year, remember the subscrip
ton price is but 81 so per year any
where in the United States.
Tuesday evening someone either
turned loose Mrs. Woodworths horse, or
is got loose of it's own accord, and dis
appeared while she was attending the
supper party at the Hooking home.
Paul Wildman has secured posi-
ton as stenographer at the Rosebud
Agency and George Smith, our garage
man, took him down there Tuesday.
Here is wishing Paul success in his
new undertaking.
A.yC. Beisell, who homesteaaed
southeast of Wood in Butte Valley,
arrived here Thursday of last week to
look after his interests here. He looks

quite steadily employed near Hum

FISH LAKE HUNTING
CLUB ORGANIZED
ToNoPAH SPoRTSMEN SECURE
FINE PRESERVES FOR DUCK
SHOOTING

The Fish Lake Hunting club of To
nopah has been formed. although
the organization has not progressed
to the point where the officers and
other similar details may be an
nounced. The club is the result of
efforts put forth by W. II. Blackburn,
A. II. Jones and others, principally
officials and department heads of the
mining companies, together with bus
mess men of Tonopah.
They have already secured about
1000 acres of preserves, giving two
miles of lake shore and slough edge
at Fish like. The ground secured is
part of the Chiatovich, Borax Smith
and Patterson ranches in Fish Lake
valley. This preserve does not by
any means exclude the private hunter
as there is about twelve miles OF
slough and lake frontage, the greater
portion of which is open to all who
desire to shoot.
The club has a seven-room club
house. An efficient chef will be in
stalled and entertainment will be pro
yided for members and their guests
during the duck shooting season The
distance from Tonopah is so miles
and the road is easily negotiable by q
machine in less than three hours
