Dorrance, Mgr. :.LU FUR COATS These are great days for the farmer's boy who can shoot or trap any kind of fur-bearing animal While men may not be buying many more fur coats than formerly, the feminine demand for the kitteny stuff has become illimitable. The Saturday Evening Post says that in one Connecticut factory town, 150 girls working for an av erage wage of $15.00 a week each bought a $250.00 fur coat. They made small cash deposits, and then agreed to pay $1.00 a week down Many people who are much ex posed to cold weather need fur coats, But a lot of others buy them purely for adornment, and think they thereby make themselves more fas cinating. The fur coat habit as thus exemplified is one of the typical joy riding extravagances of the present time. It constitutes one of a thou sand tendencies that make living cost high and the real necessities of life scarce. GOOD ROADS AND TIRES A Colorado state senator has scheme to spend $25,000,000 on concrete roads through the state' mountain parks, and claims that the saving in tire bills alone would be large item toward paying for the expense. While his notion may be a little exaggerated, (he has fa good idea and one not sufficiently understood by the motorists who growl on their road taxes. Good roads save not merely tires, wear and tear, but must help keep repair charges down. A machine run regularly over smooth highways should last a good deal longer. The time may yet come when mo torists will ask to be more heaviy taxed, so that sums hitherto con sidered out of reach can be raised for wholesale improvement of roads. COUNTY SCHOOL NEWS Miss Amundson and Miss DeSalvo, teachers of Westfield School District have raised $55 to be used for school improvement. During the past week the follow ing schools have organized as Junior Red Cross Auxiliaries: Ida DeForest—Willow Lake No. 2. Blabon Schools. Leila Eide—Sherbrooke No. 3. Pearl Sondereal Beaver Creek No. 1. Gertrude Linn—Newburgh No. 4. Agnes Aas—Easton No. 2. Hope Hardenbrooke Primrose No. 1. Hope Schools Adelaide Oxton and Hope Harden brooke have already sent in money for the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. This money is used to pro mote the Health Crusade. The dealers who are holding su gar for higher prices, are likely to find the government in possession of their stores and holding them for higher standards of citizenship. THE HOPE PIONEER Cbe fcope pioneer HOPS. NORTH DAKOTA Publiahed by tie NORTH DAKOTA PUBLISHING CO. L. J. B0WEN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Tnr 92.00 Six Months 1.00 Entered at the post office at Hope, North Dakota, aa second class matter. The Steele County Observer, which has been published in the Pioneer office for the past three months, now has a home of its own at Finiey, and will be issued from there in the future. A communication in this issue of the Pioneer states that "Townley is not the whole league." Them's our sentiments exactly, and we thank the Powers above for that fact that's the reason we are fighting Townleyism." When the league is purged of Townley and his ism, when the real men of the league, the farmers themselves get control of the organization and put a stop to this carpet bagging store, newspa per and bank grafts feeding im ported socialists at the public trough creating dissension between town and country, and neighbor and neighbor then will the league be in position to carry on a mighty refor mation that will be a real benefit to every man, woman and child in the state. The real traitors to the league are those leaders who are using it as a means for personal gain. Clean out your "Comrades" and "Fellow Workers" and non-resident-non-tax paying demagogs and the league will be a real power for the advance ment of the commonwealth. POLITICAL SIDE-STEPPING The politician on the stump and canvassing his district, is often quite a different character from the same man after he is elected to the posi tion he sought. As a candidate, he is a good-natured and likeable fellow As a public official he retains the ge nial qualities that give him popular ity. But too frequently he manifests a fatal lack of sturdy conviction. The newspaper men who watch closely the doings of legislatures and Congress, see some stonishing somer saults made by these good fellow politicians. It will frequenty happen that the action taken on a viva voce vote will be absolutely opposite to that expresed by the same men on roll call. When a matter is dis cussed &dn voted on informally, the members will vote as they feel and believe. When a roll call is demand ed, and teh members are compelled to record themselves, a ot of these weak backboned fellows will flop over. Then they vote directly op posite to their previous stand and their own convictions, for fear offending some one. Many public men will vote against a proposition that they know to be for the general good, because they fear to offend some small minority that is opposing it. They think they defy the organized minorit they will lose more votes than they neglect the interest of the un organized nd presumably indifferent majority. In that belief they are very much mistaken. The people are watching their legislators closely today. They feel very keenly the need for states manlike legislation to solve the so cial and economic problems that have thrown the country into tnr moi. Public men who are afraid to work for the interest of the people as a whole, are very likely to find themselves left at home whare they can attend exclusively to their own business. THE RED SEAL CAMPAIGN The nation-wide movement to raise $6,500,000 by the Red Cross Seal campaign for anti-tuberculosis work, should not be regarded as merely a philanthropy. The White Plague is a peril that threatens the young, strong, and healthy as well as the frail, and it attacks the rich as well as the poor. You may clean your home accord ing to the most careful standards of housekeeping. Then when you go down, this terrible infection may be blown into your lungs in the street dust. A country so intelligent as the United States ought to be ashamed to have nearly 100,000 deaths a year from this preventable curse. But it will take popular education, good sanitation, and abundant hos pital facilities, to stamp out the plague. All this requires money. So buy your Red Cross seals, good folks here in Hope, and don't think there is the least danger that too much will be collected. The textile workers who have se cured an increase of pay will soon be striking again to pay for the higher coBt of clothing. A lot of the girls who are too proud to get their hands in the dish water at home, manage to get into a good deal of hot water in society. 0 Horse Shoeing Engine Repairing if^you join Our CHRISTMAS RANKING O-UB with YOU CAN START WITH OXl,Y A NICKEL AND INCREASE YOUR DEPOSITS FIVE CENTS EACH WHKK, Oil START WITH THE LARGEST AMOUNT ANl) DECREASE FIVE CENTS EACH WEEK.

GET ALL Y'OUH MONEY *cC THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford car can well be called the "peoples car," because there are more than 3,000,000 of them in daily operation. That is about four to one of the nearest follower in the motor car industry. This would not be so if the Ford car had not for sixteen years proven its superiority in service, in durability, and in the low cost for operation and maintenance this would not be so if the Ford car was not so easy to understand, so simple in construction that anybody and everybody can safely drive it.
