Have "Pioneer" for Local
News that Interests

How's the contest coming? Are
you getting lots Of new subscribers?
These are among. the many ques-
tions asked The Pioneer from day to
day. In answer to these queries and
for the benefit of our advertisers and
readers we wish to announce that
new carrier boys have been already
added to The Pioneers force of paper
distributors in the, city.
"There's q Reason"
The reason for this is that so many
new names have been added that it
became necessary to re-district the
city and put on. two new carriers.
There are some: fourteen hundred
homes in Bemidji and before the cur
tain falls upon the greatest profit
sharing subscription, campaign ever
conducted in North Central Mime
sofa, The Pioneer will be read in
300 homes in the city.
Now, a word about the country
circulation. This has been the big
gest surprise Of all: It has been
a surprise to The. Pioneer. The
growth OF its 'ecircu1atiorl IN outlying
Territory liz nothing short Of of:,nnsrvel-
ous.-~ Its popularity as SNorth Central
Minnesota's daily newspaper is grow
ing by, leaps and bounds.
Turh to ''Pioneer."
Hundreds, who had heretofore re-
lied upon. the large city papers for
world news havk becoAae readers Of
The Pioneer. They are able to get
the news from twelve to twenty-four
hours earlier, and. have written. let
ters to the effect that the Daily
Pioneer is just what they have want
ed. They not only get d good assort-
ment of world news, put they also
get local, county and ;state news in
abundance.
Centers of Circulation.
Among the villages in this section,
where The Pioneer s,Sthe leading
newpaper are Pinew&od, Leonard,
Clearbrook, Gonvick, Wilton, Solway,
Shevlin, Bagley, Turtle River, Ten
strike, Blackjack, Kelliher, Red Lake,
Redby, Puposky, Nebish, Cass Lake
and other live and growing little
cities.
The rural routes out of this city
and the others above mentioned find
the news of The Pioneer to their Ek-
ing. Dozens of letters commenting
favorably, and complimenting The
Pioneer upon it's enterprising move in
making it the big daily in North. Cen
tral Minnesota have been received.
Market Reports Valuable,
"The market reports are worth the
price of the paper alone" says many
Of the letters. "You surely cover
the field in local, county, and world
news" say others. "You carry a fine
line of advertising, and we read every
bit of it," are among the other COM
ments received.
The Pioneer appreciates the CO.
operation Of it's readers, and well
comes letters of advice, criticism and
suggestions at all times. It is up to
it's readers to help make this paper
what it should be and the co-opera-
tion of The Pioneer will at all times
be given.

Pittsburgh's Mayor Named
For Honor After Edwin
S. Stuart Refuses

Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-Mayor E.
V. Babcock. of Pittsburgh. will be
grand marshal of the parade attend
ing the Inauguration of Governor
elect William c. Sproul, at Harris
burg. next Tuesday.
Announcement of this was made
officially to-day. 1t has been suppos-
ed former Governor Edwin S. Stuart
would ofiiciate, but Mr.. Stuart plead
ed his advanced age and the fact
that he has not ridden a horse for
years as reasons for his refusal.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Sproul said
he would ask Brigadier General Will
liam G.. Price. Jr.. to ofliciate as
grand marshal should the general
return from France by inauguration
day. When this appeared improbable,
he decided upon Mr. Stuart. The lat
ter's refusal led to the selection of
Mayor Babcock. who was in the city
over the week
Plans for the inauguration, as far
as Mr.. Sproul is concerned. virtually
are complete. 1t was announced to-
day that the military section of the
parade would be made up of n COM
pany of marines and Il company Of
sailors from the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. accompanied by the Marine
band; cadets from the Pennsylvania
Military College and from State Col
lege, twelve companies of the Penn
sylvania Reserve Militia and a de-
tachment of the state police. In
addition. two companies of the Phil
adelphia Home Defense Reserve and
a detachment of the Home Defense
Reserve of Cumberland county will
participate.
With David IL. Lane as marshal
the Ware forces. decked out in frock
coats, silk hats, spats and walking
sticks, and numbering about 600
men from the South Philadelphia
wards, will lead the civilian section
of the procession. The Ware men
have been assiduously drilling and
will hold their last two rehearSals
this week. Senator Ware declares his
followers will stage the finest turn
out ever seen at an inaugural for
many years.
All of the upstate counties are pre-
pairing to send delegations to parti-
cipate in the parade. Inauguration
day will be an event in the life of
State Treasurer Harmon NJ. KEEP
hart, for he will make his debut in a
silk hat. Despite all the honors that
have come to him in life, Mr.. KEEP
hart confesses he has never expert
enced the sensation of appearing
before his fellow men in a -four
quart lid"
Mr.. kephart will lead a delega-
ton of seventy-five men from Fay
cite county. T. 3. Donnelly will
march at the head of a delegation
from Connellsville.
