TWO POUNDS ARE
HEAVIEST WEIGHT

Lightest because they lend light
and heaviest in sense of being more
helpful.
You may call the foregoing para
dox, an enigma, or a puzzle, but call
1t what you may, it nevertheless has
an element of truth in it's compost
ticn. Anyhow, it has made you read
below the headlines, so it has not
only accomplished it's purpose but is
deserving of a vote of thanks fro!a
you.
Once upon time a little boy was
asked by his teacher how to get
other boys to come to Sunday school,
and his ready reply was:
"Show them pictures, SO they will
have something to ask questions
about" Z
The little boy surely has the max.
ing of a great publisher in him.
The headlines are intended to
make somebody ask a question, but
they don't do it as we'll as picture
would.
What is it all about?
Now that you have read thus far
you may as we'll get the answer.
The "heavy," Eight" article re-
ferred to is the illustrated Bible now
being presented to readers by The
Pioneer. The illustrations printed
in with the text; matter throw a new
light on the various passages, max.
ing it the Brightest" Bible ever
printed in point of clearness; but
at the same time it is the "heaviest'
in thought, for these illustrations are
the. result of years of study and re.
search.
These Bibles come in several
styles as explained in the educational
certificate printed on another page
of this issue. Read the certificate
clip it, present six of them, and take
your choice of either the Catholic OF
Protestant editions, both in two diff.
ferent bindings.

Is Sure Economy.

With several million dollars
Topped off the appropriation bills by
the finance committee of the state
senate it can truly be said that the
legislature is strong for economy
Three-quarters of a. million in round
figures were taken from the, amount
asked by the board of regents of the
state university to operate that great
institution during the next two years,
and two million is taken from the ,ap-
preparations asked for by the state
departments.
What educational leaders at the
university say was probably the most
Gripping blow to the institution was
the first cut by the committee. The
board of regents had asked for $611,-
200 to maintain the teaching staff
for each year. The committee voted
to allow 100000 annually, making
total reduction at the start Of
( s222,40O.
Extension courses of the institu-
. ton were hit the hardest, the agri-
cultural extension course having suf-
il fered cut of $4,000 and the uni
-spersity extension courses having suf-
fered a decrease of $4,000.
The board of regents asked for
$3,S87,450. The finance committee
r allowed the budget with decrease
of $773,140, making the total amount
: appropriated for the next two years
to improve and maintain the; univer-
.sity SO, 114,31O.
Agricultural experiment stations
and research work suffered the next
cut. The board had asked for $780,
200 annually. The committee al
lowed 100000 for the first year and
$4,000 for the second year. The
money was to have been spent for
field crop breeding. radication of nox-
ious weeds, field work in farm man
.agement, agricultural engineering,
drainage Investigations, plant dis
eases and soil Investigations, grain,
flour, poultry and sorghum investiga-
tions
. The state departments are allowed
$5,5SS,829 to spend during the next
two years. Two years ago the de-
partments were given .$6;048,000.
The board of control appropriation
is cut to $4,S43,00O. During the, last
biennium $5,54S,600 was allowed the
board. They had asked for $6,384,-
GAS for this period.
The Forestry board was cut $10,-
900, the Highway commission $780,
900 and the Advisory commission of
the Board of Health was cut to $780,
600 tentatively.
Another hearing will be granted
on the university appropriation and
it is believed that several items will
besincreased. 1t is felt that the gen.
/ eral efficiency of the institution is
hard hit by the appropriations as
they now stand. fS1 .-l

The reason the Junior class was
sufficiently bold to challenge the re-
mainder of the High School to q game
of basketball was easily seen by those
who witnessed the game at the High
school gymnasium Friday evening.
The game was q close and holly con-
tested at all times. The Juniors were
strong and their team work was good.
The same can be said Of the "Allies."'
The final score showed a margin Of
only three points in favor of the AL
lies, ending 1923.
The game was played in the best Of
spirits. All the players are worthy
of special mention. Those making
the best showing in their positions
were, Russell Rarey, guard and Cor
win Terrell, forward on the Junior
team, Stacy Pierce as center, Earl
Anderson as guard, and Harlan Mum
cey as forward for the "Allies."
The lineup was: ,
win Terrell, !. f.; Howard Lincoln, ca;
win Terrell, !. g.; Howard Lincoln, c.;
Russell Rarey, r. g.; Emil Behrman,
]. g.; Engle Erickson, substitute.
Allies: Lacy Squibb. r.af.; Harlan
Mpncey, l. f.; Stacy Pierce, g; Ber-
nard Slaugenhaupt, r. g.; Earl Ander-
son, I. g.; Ralph Dague, sub.
The score at the end Of the first
half was S-14 in favor Of the "Allies"
and 1912 for the second half, making
the final score 1926 in favor Of the
i"Allies."
A good team is worthy Of your sup
port. We expect to have a strong team
this year. Watch the schedule and
don't miss the games.
Monday morning Rev. Terry, who is

to have low ideal with ability to
have it. In order to attain an ideal
one must have the determination to
make good.
