Ed. ". HANSON
GAVE away DOLLARS

Among the New Years souve-
Mrs handed out recently by the
business men of our city that of
Ed. w. Hanson seems to have
attracted a good deal of atten-
ton. Instead of spending a
bunch of money for CALENDARS
he decided to give his customers
the direct benefit of the money
he would have had to spend and
sent each one a check for one
dollar which could be applied on
account or used to purchase
anything which he offers for
sale. The printing of the checks
in two colors and the letters in
three colors was turned out at
the Pioneer Office so that every
cent of this advertising appro-
priation is still circulating in
our own community.
The idea was original with
Mr.. Hanson and he is to be con-
graduated on putting it across
The expenses on a proposition
of this kind, he figured, would
be about double that of sending
a calander but as his customers
would receive the full benefit OF
the expenditure he felt that the
general satisfaction would be
worth the cost.

Fable Of Two Maidens.


Once there were two maidens who
sought to catch a nice young man, and
1t was a false start in the eyes Of the
undiscerning, for the one was exceed
ingly fair to look upon and dressed
stylishly, while tue other was plain of
countenance.
The pretty girl smiled sweetly on the
nice young man and talked to him till
she dazzled him with her beauty and
charmed him with her wit. The plain
n gazed wonderingly at him and
made him talk to her Of divers things,
while she listened, entranced at his
wisdom and learning.
He tool the pretty girl out riding, to
the theater and bought her chocolates
and flowers, and all the knowing one
SAID she had struck a winner, when
n day he married the plain girl and
took her on the continent for their
honeymoon.
The pretty girl had made him very
much pleased with her, but the plain
girl had gone one better and made him
very much more pleased with himself.

They Work Both Ways

Thos. Bjerkeland, a promi-
nent farmer living fifteen miles
northeast of the city, was called
upon to save the life of his bired
man last Monday, who was chok-
ing to death on a piece of meat
which became fastened in his
throat. Mr.. Bjerkeland, who
had just invested in a new Ford,
started for Minot at breakneck
speed, the hired man hanging
over the edge of the car in order
to breathe more freely. Mr..
Bjerkeland expected the fellow
to die any minute and speeded
his Lizzie" up to twenty-five
miles an hour. Just before ar
irving in the city, the Ford
struck a badger hole and the jar
loosened the chunk of meat.
Mr.. Bjerkeland claims that the
Ford is a mighty useful machine.

The Habit Of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is east
ly broken. Take a cool sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed-not ice cold but a temperature
of about 80 degree F. Also sleep with
your window up. Do this and you
will seldom take cold. When you do
take cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and get rid of it as quickly
as possible. Obtainable everywhere.

THE LITTLE TOWN.

O, some sing the song of the crowded
mart,
And some of the prairie's sweep.
The wild yields to many a flame
tipped theme.
For others the fonm-capped deep.
But sing the song Of the littel town
OF laughter and smiles set free,
For the little town
In its garb of brown
Holds ever the heart of me!
The glad little town where the elm
arched streets,
Lead one in the fricndliest way
To love- arnished homes where q wei
come waits
That's as warm as a June-kissef
day;
Where chool-children play round TIL,
old court square
In rollicking revelry.
And man has care
For his neighbor, there,
Aye, that is the place for me!
I've answered the call of the city
lure,
The jostle, the whirr, the lights!
I've threaded the way of a mountai
pass,
And stood on the snow-crownc
heights.
But stilled is the longing for dale am
down,
For mountain and creening sea,
Since little town
In a garb of brown
Has sheltered the heart of me!
