INFLUENZA VICTIM

The first fatal case of influenza in
the community this year resulted in
the death Of John Hogan shortly be-
fore noon on Tuesday, February II.
He had recovered apparently from
the disease the week before and was
overly ambitious, going out to the
barn to assist in doing the chores
before he had fully regained his
strength. A relapse resulted and in
spite of all that could be done death
claimed it's victim.
The body will be taken to his
former home in Illinois for inter-
ment in the family plot, the funeral
party leaving on this evenings train.
Besides other relatives, Mr.. Hogan
leaves to mourn his untimely death,
his widow and six year old son, Don
aid.
The deepest sympathy of the en-
tire community is extended to the
bereaved ones in their great loss.

THE TRAMP N

Some poetic genius will some day
write an epic about the tramp prin-
ter. Lacking this exalted Muse, the
editorial chronicler of the Pioneer
should say a word about the passing
of this typical character, so rarely
seen in the printing office of the
present day.
The number of printers who used
to roam over the country, taking
Jobs for a few days or weeks. and
finally disappearing for some bac-
chanalian celebration, must have
been very considerable. Many of
them fellows of native ability.
They possessed a winsome manner
not wholly blurred over by the cor
rosions Of dissipation. They could
almost any job in a newspaper
office, from devil up to editor in
chief, and perform its functions with

THE DIFFICULTIES OF
THE "MIDDLE CLASS,

There ought not to be such a
thing as Glasses" in this country,
yet in common parlance a certain
type of people has been known as
the "middle Glass;. Teachers, COL
lege professors, ministers, many pro-
fessional men, book keepers and
statesmen, some technical men, most
retail merchants, and some elderly
people retired on small amounts of
money, are commonly included in
this class.
As a whole the great body repre-
sented by these types of people, are
not as well of as before the war,
The capitalists pay their added costs
by lacking an equivalent amount on
their prices. Mechanics and labor
~ enforce their demands by strikes

HOW TO BECOME
A MILLIONAIRE

If you care to become a member
of the big business class here is an
outline of a method that is being
worked in North Dakota under the
dawn of a new day. that will put
you in the millionaire class without
trouble Or expense.
First, issue your personal bonds
or notes in the sum Of $4,000, 90
or more payable in 20 years bearing
5, 6, or 8 per cent interest as suits
your fancy. Having issued them
then look for a buyer but do not fret
II you fail to find one. In the latter
case simply draw a check to yourself
for the face value of the notes, or if
you feel that they are a little better
than the average notes, pay yourself
a little premium. In this case, for
convenience, we will call the sum
100000 and make the deal at par
Here you are, in the millionaire
class and all that remains to be done
Is "a your interest. This is US
ually done semi-annually SO every
six months just sit down and draw
a check payable to yourself for $780,
10000, and turn around and endorse
it over to yourself and give it back
to yourself to pay the interest on the
notes to yourself.
Be sure and avoid all publicity
possible in this matter as the income
tax collector might insist that you
borrow some real money to pay a
tax on your income.
For further details in connection
with this process enclose a self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope to Mr.,
Cathro, at the Bank of North Dakota

has an opportunity right now to help
bling true the Y. w. c. y hope for
!SZo--the hope of a program which
s:.dll be literally one of world ser.
vice.
Cities, large and small, are cheer
fully accepting their full share.
Many of them drive so hard and
so we'll that they shove ahead Of
their goals by hundreds and thous-
ands of dollars.
Dallas, Texas, the first city to
complete it's campaign went $4,000
over its 100000 goal. A group of
girls in Bridgeport, Conn.,, for whom
the Y. w. c. A. organized an indus
trial center during the war;, has TAX
Ell responsibility for $4,000.
Rabbi Meyer, the most prominent
Jewish rabbi in San Francisco stands
behind this message: "Any organi-
cation which has done what the Y.
W. c. A. did in the war alone MUST
BE supported. This campaign can
not, must not fail. 1t would be a
shame to San Francisco"

which in the end do not help them
much. The middle class" alone has
not developed any theory for pro-
tecting itself. In England they are
trying to form a great union to
stand for this element, and it may
come to that here.
The elements of people constitut-
ing the so-called middle class are
the backbone Of civic progress.
Churches and charities depend large
ly on their effort and money. These
elements are a harmonizing force in
the social fabric, standing half way
between rich and poor.
The whole community will suffer
II they are crowded to the wall.
Still every element has to defend it's
own rights, and to render such OBJ
vious economic service that the CON-
munity will e to it that it is well
compensated.
If this class has any fault which
may have led to it's present difficult
les, it is perhaps over caution. The
possession of a small amount of mon
ey makes many people too prudent.
They grab their money bags closely
and are fearful in engaging in any
new enterprise, or of any attempt to
build a bigger future.

IMPORTANCE OF MATERNAL
FEEDING FOR THE barry

The breast fed child has ten chan
e. to one of the bottle fed babv
of living through the first year. In
an investigation carried on by DR..
Herman Schwartz at Baltimore. il
was found that out of 1901 cases
there were only 10 mothers who
were not able to nurse their babies
at all. There is no such thing as an
entire absence of mammary sccre-
ton. Failure to nurse the baby is
usually due to lack OF persistence on
the part of the mother or weakness
on the part of the infant. The sit
uation in the latter case may be re-
lieved by putting a strong healthy
baby at breast a few times to start
the flow of milk. Maternal feeding
should be the keynote to education
in infant welfare.-Extention Divi-

N. E. CHURCH BANQUET

On Friday evening of last week,
the Ladies' Aid Of the M. E. Church
gave a banquet to the men in the
church dining rooms. Invitations
had previously been given, and de-
spite the prevalence of the flu and
the inclement weather, a goodly
number were present. The ladies
did all-and even more-than was
expected in serving a very bounti-
full supper in their usual artistic
manner. After supper a Short but
very splendid musical program, con-
sisting of vocal solos and duets, was
rendered by Mesdames Fisher and
Martin, and Miss Nelson. Rev. Mar
tin then acted as postmaster, and
opened that part of the program
with some splendid we'll chosen re-
marks, emphasizing the need of
churches and church life in any COM
munity. He then called upon Mr..
Lathrop to introduce the main speak
err of the evening, Dist. Supt. w. j.
Hutchinson, of Grand Forks. Mr..
Lathrop, in a very humorous vein,
gave a short biographical sketch of
the Doctor, taken from observation"
and "hearsay", and related some of
the incidents connected with the Doc
tors youth, early manhood and more
mature life. In response, the Doc
tor admitted some of the "facts"
told by Mr.. Lathrop, but interposed
an alibi as to others. He then gave
a very fine address in which he set
forth in a clear, forceful and logical
manner some of the great religious
moral and political truths which
should be taught, upheld and prac-
ticed in the world, and particularly
in our own country today.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
evening was cold and stormy, and
many were detained home because
of that, and others because of the
flu, all present felt they had been
greatly benefited by the occasion,
and went home expressing a desire
for future gatherings Of a similar
nature.-Contributed.

skill and distinction for q. few days.
Many of them had wide range of
literary allusion and much education
and culture. They could express
sensible opinions. They were not
embittered by reverses of fortune,
and I. w. w. agitators could have
done nothing with them. They got
about what they wanted out of life.
Their rowing natures were refreshed
by constant change, and they could
earn enough in half time for drink
and a bed.
The tramp printer is probably gone
never to return. He thrives only on
easy laws and wide open lids. He
is not likely to survive the dusty
droughts of prohibition.
These r days when printers are
we'll paid, frequently more than ed
itors. The man who would give up
this steady and lucrative job for the
bafled and gypsy life of the old
tramp printer, must have a very pc
culiar standard of human comfort.
To-day he can satisfy his desire for
novelty by attending the movies, and
he finds it much easier to see the
world through the film play than
from the interior of a jolting box
car.

w uOI oO1No every pIOUlcIu III
life by giving people more money
They want a chance for mental
growth and for diversions.
It is the belief of the Pioneer that
one of the soundest means for build
ing up country life, is the country
library. When you place entertain
ing and instructive books within the
easy reach of a rural community,
you will quiet a lot of discomfort.
Young people appreciate library
privileges, and when one is within
reach, they will pass many pleasant
hours looking over books and maya
zines. When they have once formed
a taste for good reading,t they have
acquired a lifelong resource on which
they can fall back in lonely and
troubled hours. Also the people
who form the reading habit learn
what is going on in the world, and
are better prepared to protect their
own interest and build up a good
business.
In Massachusetts the state law has
established a library in every town
ship. Few other states have gone as
far as that but most of them are
making some move to found more
libraries in country districts. In
some localities plans have been made
for distribution Of books by wagon
on the outlying roads.
1t does not cost much money to
start a little library. When once a
little building is erected, and towns
and cities establish regular contri-
buttons OF new books, the library
begins to grow. Gifts of books can
usually be had by a campaign for
such donations.
Getting the building is the first
problem. Every town without a Ii
brary should have some former or
present resident generous enough to
give one. II not, it would not hurt
the people to pay for it in taxes or
Dy subscription. Every progressive
town should have its public library.
A community club house would as
sist materially in solving this prob
lem.
