IS SHEEP AND HORSE
SOLD THROUGH WANT AID

B. w. Aldrich inserted an ad
twice in the Daily and once in
the Weekly Pioneer for the sale
of thirty-five sheep and a horse.
Just after the last issue, he
telephoned that he had some
woven wire to dispose Of, and
he knew of no quicker or more
sure method, than to advertise
in The Pioneer, as he sold his
stock in a hurry. So his second
ad is now at work for him.

WORKERS V0TET0
DEMAND EIGHT
HOUR DAY, MAY )

"" AOANUy oxVVxuVOA k1l6 3xkuU8E
Workers union held a meeting in the
Moose hall and voted upon the prop
osition of demanding an eight-hour
day, effective May 8. It is UNDER
stood the vote was 251 in favor Of
eight-hour day and 40 opposed. An
other vote was held last night to per-
nit those who did not vote on Sunday
to register their vote and last nights
vote is said to have been 40 in favor
Of eight-hour day and one opposed,
making total vote to date 298 to so.
This action affects the industries
of the Crookston Lumber company,
the Bemidji Box company and tho
Bemidji Manufacturing company.
When interviewed by a representa-
tive of The Pioneer yesterday as to
their position on the eight-hour day,
Mr.. E. E. Kenfield Of the Bemidji
Box company said: 1--WE will run an
open shop and ten hours a day or
not run at ALL" When further asked
if there was any issue other than the
eight-hour day, he stated: "None
that l know OF, every man seems to
be satisfied otherwise. He stated
when the new basis Of wages were
put in effect some time ago every
man was told the intention Of the
company to run a ten-hour day and
all agreed, but five, who were not
willing to agree to this and who were
not hired. "Our attitude at Cass
Lake is the same as here"
Mr.. C. L. listed of the Crookston
Lumber company and Mr.. B. w.
Lakin, superintendent Of logging de-
partment of the same company,
stated: eve will run ten-hour day
or shut down. Our instructions are
very clear. If we close down we will
board up the mill. When each man
was hired at the opening of the mill
they were given to understand the
mill would run on a ten-hour basis.
There is no dissatisfaction otherwise
50 far as we know"
Mr.. A. M. Bagley Of the Bemidji
Manufacturing company, when asked
what he was going to do about the
eight-hour day, said: eve are going
to run ten hours. We cannot posi-
bly, maintain our overhead expenses
and fill our contracts on an eight
nOur 0ay.
From the above replies it will be
seen that the only issue is that of
the eight-hour day. The vote on
the eight-hour day is not confined to
Bemidji but is part Of move
ment covering Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and that portion of nor
thern Ontario bordering on these
states.
It is understood the attitude of the
manufacturers in other portions OF
the district affected is the same AZ
the local industries.
The closing of the local mills would
not only affect those employed in tho
mills, but would also necessitate the
closing down Of all logging operations
in the woods now being actively car
ried on. There are about eight hum
dred employed in the local mills and
several hundred employed in logging
operations connected with the mills.
In the event of the mills closing,
a tremendous loss in wages will result
and consequent business depression.
1t is probable that Bemidji would bo
forced to take similar action to that
taken by other localities when these
conditions are arising and curtail ex-
tension of credit to a minimum.

BEGIN POULTRY RAISING

Beginnings in poultry raising may be made at any time of the year, but fall is perhaps the best time for small poultry keepers to make their start. Obtain bullets whenever pos sible rather than old hens, say experts of the U. s. Department of Agricul- ture. The bullets selected should be we'll matured so they will lay before cold weather sets in.
 Here are the signs of maturity {: Red color of combs, and size and growth which are creditable for the breed. Mature hens lay few eggs, if any, during the fall and early win ter, while they are melting. Well matured bullets on the other hand should lay fairly we'll and give an immediate return on the investment.
 When bullets are to be purchased it is desirable to 20 to some farr or dependable poultryman. Even If delivery of birds is not desired for several weeks or months, it may pay to make arrangements for obtaining the desired number of pulets later at an agreed price.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

fundamental principles of applied science and advanced methods of agriculture, these young men and women form the advance guard in the forward movement of the Jew on the farm.
 The short courses in agriculture are given during the winter months by the State Agricultural College. They are of a practical nature and cover every brnch of agriculture as we'll as domestic science. Being designed for those actively engaged in farming, the courses are given at time when the work on the farm is not pressing. They usually last from 10 to 12 weeks.
 A scholarship for one of these courses is awarded by competition. Applicants are required to submit a composition in English on some Agricultural topic, based upon their own experiences during the past summer. Awards are being made largely upon a basis of the candi- dates achievements.
 The winner has all the necessary

HOW TO EMoVE TARNIsH

The tarnish on copper, bras and bronze is coper carbonate. It may be removed by friction or dissolved in weak acids.
 Rottenstone mixed with oil to the consistency of cream is the common substance used on these metals. After this cleaner has been applied with soft cloth. A final rubbing with dry rottenstone or whiting will give the metal an even. brighten luster.
 Oxolic-acid solution, buttermilk or vinegar, especially when warmed, quickly dissolves the tarnish on these metals. All traces of these cleaning agents must be removed, however, or the metal will tarnish again very quickly. Washing metal in water is usually effective. The whiting not only takes up moisture but polishss by friction.

scholar.hips for Jewish Young Men
 The Jewish Agricultural and h. dustrial Aid Society announces the opening of the Eleventh Annual Competition for scholarships for Q short winter course in agriculture. The competition is open to sons and daughters of Jewish farmers who assist their parents in the manage ment of the farm or the home.
 The object of these scholarships is to enable boys and girls who have become proficient in the practical phases of farm life to secure scienti- fic training in these lines. These scholarships were established by the Society in 1908, in recognition of the fact that the successful farmer of today must know the why and wherefore as well as the how. Since then several hundred young men and women have availed themselves of this opportunity, to the everlasting benefit not only of themselves, but also of the "back-to-land" movement among the Jewish people as whole.

 amendment and carried it to the supreme court.
 The adverse decision there caused Miss Anthony to draw up the amend ment to the constitution, the ratifi- cation of which was completed last week She wrote the text in 1875, since which year suffragists have worked both in the states and through congress to establish their right to the ballot.
 The amendment in its present form was presented to the United States senate in 1878 in behalf of the National Woman Suffrage Asso- citation by Senator A. A. Sargent, of California, and was promptly voted down in committee of both branches of congress. Every year thereafter the suffragists saw to it that their amendment was reintroduced, but congress continued to discourage their efforts, although now and then a committee returned favorable re- port. Mrs. Stanton served as presi- dent of the association from 1869 to 1892; Miss Anthony, who, had at first declined to accept any office higher than memberhsip in the ex- ecutive committee, was president

of the quality or appearance of the product. The can that is as full of solid food as is practicable and correctly labeled will meet the re- quirements of the pure food law with reference to fill, will promote fair trading among canners, and win the confidence of the trade and the consuming public"
 It is essential that the quantity of food in the can be standardized in order to promote fair trading, food officials in the department point out. Recently, it is said, a pack of peas that lacked 8 per cent of being prop erly filled was found. In the quan- tity of the pack the slack-flling represented a difference of several thousand dollars in the cost of peas to the consuming public.

CLEAN UP WOODLOT

This is a good season to clean up the woodlot, improve the timberland and gather the winters supply of wood at the same time, say specialists of the U. s. Department of Agricul- ture. All dead trees and large dead should be made up into cordwood first then the trees that have dead or dying tops. Remove those which are too crowded to make satisfactory growth, keeping in mind always to leave those trees that will make the best salable timber.
 Look up at the crowns of the trees in deciding which ones to thin out in crowded group and take out the intermediate trees that are being en- croached upon by the more domin- ant ones. Do not make the mistake of over thinning, but leave the small trees that have practically no effect upon the main stand of the woodlot to develop into timber of the future. Leave the trees as evenly spaced as possible. Cut out all the vines from the standing timber and remove the varieties that have little value in the woodlots or on the market.
 A permanent woodlot is an essen tial part of we'll equiped farm and in many cases is the source of the winter fuel supply. In heavily ly cut, misuse or clearf1lsefotao wooded states especially, farmers are likely to over look this fact and recklessly cut, misuse or clear up their forest areas. For fuel, it is is never advisable to use thrifty, im- mature trees when it is possible to get inferior timber.

Must Properly Fill Cans with Food

Must Properly Fill Cans with Food
 Gamers should fill their cans as full of solid food as is practicable, if they wish to have their product meet the requirements of the pure food laws, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, which has been giving considerable attention to the matter of slack-filling on the part of manufacturers. Recently the Bur eau of Chemistry issued a schedule of drained weights for certain can- ned products for the guidance of the canners. In reply to inquiries from canners who complain that in some instances they can not meet these requirements the department gives this advice:

suffrage state, appealing to the wo- men to refuse to ceturn to office the party which had withheld national suffrage. As every candidate in the suffrage states was in favor of the national amendment this meant anA attack on men who were individual ly the friends of suffrage, but only in this way could the party be reached. Of the forty-two men cam paigned against only twenty-one were elected.
 Suffrage Plank Inevitable
 Inevitably a suffrage plank was placed in the platforms of both the republican and democratic parties in the national conventions of 1916 There was endless criticism of the picketing of the White House, but it is to be noted that one year from the day it began the amendment passed the house with President Wilson as it's staunch advocate. That was on January 10, 1918, the vote beign 274 yeas and 136 nays out of 40 voting. The measure was now before the senate, and there it stayed for a year and hlf, blocked most of the time by one vote. The sente finally cap itulated on June 14, 1919, when the yeas totalled 66 and the noes 30. The lower house had again votetd for the amendment on May 31, 1919, giving BOA yeas and 89 nays.
 Then began the fight for ratifica- tion. The senate's delay increased the difficulty of this campaign, for the amendment could not be brought before the regular 1918-1919 ses- sions of the various legislatures. Tn order to obtain ratification in time for women to vote for president this year the suffragists had to influence twenty nine governors to call special sessions of their state legislatures.
 Redoubled Efforts .n#
 The expense of special session, the fear that other and unwanted legis- lation would be slipped through and local political quarrels, as we'll as opposition to suffrage itself, were , all factors against the women, but having got thus far they redoubled their efforts. National suffrage was now a certainty, even if not quite ~ established. To politicians it seemed that refusal to call special sessions might be a matter for reprisal when the men actually did vote. But in some cases the state governors re- fused to act until word came down the line from the highest party lea ders.
 Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan ratified on June 10. New York's was the second legislature to meet especially for ratification. Tn West Virginia the amendment was saved by the vote of a state senator who was rushed from California on a, special train. On March 22 last Washington ratified. It was the thirty-ffth state. Delaware was expected to be the thirty sixth, but Delaware failed the women.
 The struggle for the thirty-sixtb state lasted five months. The antis, with their backs against the wall, cried, "You shall not have itP The pressure on the legislature of Ten nessee from the leaders of both poli- tical parties was terrific. Tennessee wabbled, but last week it came through, and as soon as the formali- ties of proclamation and so on are complied with we shall have votes for women-twenty-sev million of them.
