KNEE WEEDERS
New Model 21'' Is Now Ready

New MODEL IL Is NOW Ready
Twenty-one years ago, Mr.. Clayton
lived on a farm and made his first
knife weeder. 1t had wooden run
ners, the knives were hard to adjust.
il was heavy and pulled hard, but it
did good work. Every year that he
stayed on the farm he made a new
model, aiming to decrease the draft,
increase the strength and decrease
the weight, and make all adjustments
simple and easy. Steel runners re-
placed the wooden runners, and from
year to year important improvements
were placed on the machine, mate
rally increasing its efficiency and
value. While on the farm, Mr.. Clay
ton worked up quite a business max
ing these machines and selling them
to his neighbOrS. After he left the
farm he still continued to make a
new model every year, until he has
now perfected his ''New Model 21
for the coming season. This new
model is a mighty fine machine Tor
killing weeds and saving moisture in
any listed field, and it would hardly
seem possible that any further i'm
Iproyements could be made upon it.
1.-The Weeder Factory, Hill City,
KAN is where this machine is now
made. and any farmer, within driv-
ing distance Of the factory, can easily
take his car to Hill City and haul one
home. They are so easily taken apart
that two OF the double-row machines
are frequently hauled in a Ford car.
The one-row machine weighs 80
nounds> the two-row $50 pounds, and
the three-row $50 pounds. The one
row machine sells for $50, the two
row for $50, and the three-row for
$50. These prices are for machines
without eveners, and with 4-foot side
knives. Longer knives can De Iur-
nished as extras, and also eVeners, II
desired. Most farmers have all the
eveners that are necessary Tor these
machines. All of the older models
will be discontinued after this sea-
son. Two-rosw machines of last years
model may still be had, while they
last, at $500 to $1,000 less than the
above prices.

Brownina's Poetry.

The truth is thai many readers Of
verse resent any demand upon their
inteIlects; poetry 10 them being only
a pleasing indulgence-an occasional
substitute for a sherbet-nOt TO be
taken seriously. Certainly Browning
poetry is not for such. No one to-
day who knows "SordellO" derides il,
for, difficult as it is to the beginner,
it contains many veins of the pure
gold of poetry and its pictures of the
passionate, tumultuOus life Of the late
Twelfth and early Thirteenth cen
turtles in Italy. with the fierce con-
ficts of GueIf and Ghibelline by which
it was torn, are unequaled in vivid
ness and truth by any historian

Bryan Recalls Naval Holiday

Washington, Nov. BODY Will
liap Jennings Bryan) when the
arms conference adjourns, if it sue
ceeds as now seems assured, an ef-
fort will be made by historians to dis
tribute credit among those who paved
the way.
When the time comes, Argentine
and Chile will be remembered as pio-
neers. Nineteen years ago they
agreed upon a naval holiday of IS
months-a small holiday as com
pared with the present proposal, but
the seed was sown.
It will be remembered that Con-
gresham Hensley Of Missouri was a
pioneer. He INTRODUCED resolution
for naval holiday, but in the great
game like this, everything looking TO-
ward peace is aided by everything
that speaks in the language of peace.
Argentine and Chile had the idea
when they built on the boundary
line between the two countries the
statue of peace called "The Christ
of the Andes"
The tunnel between Argentine and
Chile now carries through the noun
tains those who formerly crossed the
ridge of the Andes about $500 feet
above the level Of the tunnel, and
there was another climbing over the
ridge to look upon this impressive
symbol of peace.

DICTIONARIES READY s."
!. FOR READERS TOMORROW

Sometimes words are borrowed
bodily from another language. Some
times a root-word is borrowed, often
est from the Latin or Greek, and an
English ending given it. Again they
take, two old words, join them to-
gether and make new one. At first
they separate them by the hyphen,
but after awhile that is left out, and
the two are, mingled as single word.
Then, they take prefix, or suffix
from some other tongue, and add it,
after or before, and they have an
other new word. Or when word is
too long we shorten it-because the
English-speaking people are great for
saving time.
Thousands of new words are de-
fined in The New Universities Die
tionary, which The Pioneer is now
offering almost free to, our readers

COLLEGE ENROLMENT
MAKES RAPID STRIDES
Fall and Winter Enrolment
Far Above Corresponding
Terms Last Year

Early indications as to the en-
rollment at the Bemidji State Teach
ers college for the winter term, which
opened Monday, are materializlng
we'll. Five more students enrolled
since Tuesday forenoon, bringing
the present total up to 175. Several
more enrollnents are expected dur
ing the coming week. @'
At the opening of the winter term
a year ago, 10 students enrolled, 65
less than the number already en-
rolled for this term. The fall term
a year ago was attended by So pupils,
while 159 had enrolled for the fall
term this year.
y President M. W. Deputy estimates
that at least 1910 will be enrolled at
the beginning of the spring term,
March 6, and that by mid-spring there
will be at least 215. The past spring
term found 11S enrolled, while mid
spring brought the enrolment up to
1856. President Deputy also feels GER
tain that the enrolment next summer
will surpass last summers mark, al
though it is still too early to cstl-
mate what it may be. The summer
enrolment last year was we'll over
400, and judging from the increase
during each of the successive terms
it is safe to predict that it will reach
450 next summer.

The appeal of the Salvation Army
is to be made next Monday by a num-
Der of teams who will solicit the
town for the needs Of the local corps
for it's work during the coming year.
The amount of $4,000 is being ask
ed, which will be. used to maintain the

nance Of the homes for girls and. 9TH

|. It is acknowledged that money is
harder to get just now than for some
time, yet the, large majority of the
people have had a sufficient income
to permit them to live in comfort and
it is up to this majority to help take
care Of the less fortunate minority,
some of whom. have had a hard strug-
gle. to exist. ~ -. 49,
There are many organizations and
societies whose business it is to aid
these needy and distressed people,
but there is only one organization in
the world that does the work of the
Salvation Army. This great band of
workers, all Of whom are true mar
tyrs, labor among all classes without
distinction. They" go down among
the 4dregs Of the world feeding and
clothing a starving family; sheltering
a poor, misled girl and making Of her
a useful member of society when, I'M
der ordinary circumstances, if left to
her own devices, she would be forced
into, a life Of shame; picking up an
unfortunate crook here and there
whose character has become warped
by circumstances and again making a
man of him. -
Working on the theory that there
is some good in all people, although
in many cases only very little, their
one great endeavor is to bring out
and enlarge the good traits to the
elimination Of the bad. They recog-
nize no one creed or denomination,
but believe simply in the service Of
God and follow explicitly the teach
ings of The Master. Their work
during the war time both in our
camps and at the front is too well
known to need any explanation and
are vouched I. for by every man who
was in service.
And all this wonderful work is
done practically without compensa-
ton, all any Of the salvationists re-
ceive being barely enough for, the ne
cessities of life. Two per cent Of all
receipts go to pay the workers-98
per cent is used in relief work such
as aiding the poor and needy and pay
ing the building and up-keep Of ma
'ternity homes, relief homes, homes
for the aged, etc. Ne,

CHEMICALS IN WARFARE
HINDER DISARMAMENT
French Scientist Declares 1t Is
~@. Impossible to Prevent
Their Manufacture
BY Webb Miller
Omitted Press Staff Corresponding

Omitted Press Stan correspondent
Paris, Nov. 3O.-"The whole ques-
ton of disarmament has been radl-
cally changed and rendered ,uncer-
tain by the progress in the use OF
chemicals in warfare J., :r5
Such is the opinion of Dr.. Albert
RANG, an authority on chemicals and
student of the use of chemicals in
war. ~" Il
DR.. Ranc points out that ut present
there is 10 known method OF deter
mining o" limiting the ability Of a
nation to no harm e. IT'S neighhors
or enemies by means of chemicals
or poison gas. Even though it's war
ships were scrapped and cannons and
ammunition destroyed, Il nation can
have in it's laboratories and chemical
factories the means of making q
terrible war with liquid fire. poison
gas and deadly chemicals distributed
by airplanes such as are used in or
binary commercial work.
"The Great war has demonstrated
the existence OF a vast unknown fac
tor of which the power cannot he
measured, dow can nations conceive
disarmament cffccr.valy when one OF
the important factors is unmrasura-
bic? Nobody can now know the limits
of the influence VI 'hennstry and
aviation on til. future warfare"
DR.. Ranc Emphasizes the fact that
almost any nation, were it so willcd,
could secretly prepare the means for
a chemical war in it's laboratories in
peace time under the guise of peace
full activities.
Az an instance of the speed with
which chemical manufacture can i've
developed, Ranc cites the ,nanufac-
ture of the terrific explosive yperite
in France. In March, 1918. the total
production in France was about $50
pounds, but seven months later the
factories were producing over 1907
600 pounds.
The French scientist believes it is
nearly impossible to effectively guard
against any nation dave.oDi1g' the
means of chemical warfare in peace
time.
He declares that the chance dis
covery Of some chom:at IN an obscure
university might possibly modify tie
