u. S. STAND ON POLAND
America Friendly With Poles, but
for Peace First.
Washington Hopes Russians Will Set
Up Government Representing Their
Free Will and Purpose.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Amerl-
can governments position on the Rus
sian-Polish situation was outlined IN
note to the Italian government, ad-
dressed to Baron Camille Romano
Avezzanan, Italian ambassador to the
United States, which in part follows
''This government believes IN q
united, free and autonomous Poilsh
state and the people of the United
States are earnestly solicitous for the
maintenance of Poland's political in
dependence and territorial integrity.
From this attitude we will not de-
part, and the policy of this govern
ment will be directed to the employ
ment of all available means to rem
der it effectual.
''The government therefore takes no
exception to the effort apparently pc
ing made in some quarters to arrange
an armistice between Poland and Rus
STA, but it would not, at least for the
present, participate in any plan for
the expansion of the armistice nego-
tiations into general European con-
ference, which would, in all probabll-
ity, involve two results from both OF
which this country strongly recoils,
yiz.-the recognition Of the bolshevlk
regime and a settlement of Russian
problems almost inevitably upon the
basis of dismemberment of Russia.
without any desire to interfere in
the internal affairs Of the Russian
people, or to suggest what kind of
government they should have, the gov
eminent Of the United States does ex-
press the hope that they soon will find
way to set up a government repre-
senting their free will and purpose.
when that time comes the United
States will consider the measures of
practical assistance which can fbe
taken to promote the restoration OF
Russia, provided Russia has not taken
itself wholly out of the pale of the
friendly interest of other nations by
the pillage and oppression of the
Poles.''

change.
ITALIAN WIZARD LOCKED UP
surrendered to Authorities by His
Bondsman--Eiis Victims Are Said
TO Number Several staid and
Conservative Bankers.

Boston, Aug. 14.-Charles S. Bright
well, president, and Raymond Meyers
and Charles c. Meyers, described as
secretary and manager respectively of
the Old Colony Foreign Exchange
company, were arrested charged with
conspiracy to defraud as a result of
the investigation of sensational fnan-
cial methods which started with the
Inquiry into operations of the Securi-
ties Exchange company of which
Charles POnzi was the leading figure.
The Old Colony Foreign Exchange
company recently began business with
Offices in this city and branches in
many parts of New England. 1t fol-
lowed the lead of Ponzi in promising
unusual returns on notes, the offer in
this case being 100 per cent in six
months.
Ponzi, who was arrested by federal
authorities charged with using the
mails in a scheme to defraud and
later was taken into custody by state
authorities and released on bail, was
surrendered by his bondsman, Norris
Rudnick. Rudnick had given bonds
of $4,000 in the federal action and
$4,000 in the state court. Ponzi was
turned over to the custody of United
States Marshal Duane and later taken
to jail.
Patrons of the Old Colony Foreign
Exchange company, which offered 100
per cent interest in six months on
notes and which has continued in OPP
GRAFTON during investigation of Ponzi's
affairs, started a run on the COM
pany's office in Devonshire street The
crowd became so large that policemen
were assigned to keep the people in
line Those who said they wanted
their money back and a few who
wanted to invest were requested to
leave their names and addresses and
were told that they would be notified
when the company would receive fur
ther subscriptions or would be ready
to refund.
Washington, Aug. 14.-An amazing
feature Of the operations of Charles
Ponzi, Boston's financial wizard" is
that among his victims are numbered
several staid and usually conservative
bankers of Boston and other cities,
who will have the embarrassing task
of testifying how the little Italian i'm
migrant f1eeced them. This statement
was made by post office department
officials.

Albert Inner. a weIl-known farmer in,
Cottonwood county, Mimi, in an ar

Mr. Inner says: II had curiosity
to know how much it would cost to-
raise an acre of oats and corn. To
find out / kept account, during the
year, of the time required and the
cash expended to grow the above mem

1t cost him $3149 to grow an acre of
corn and $18.13 1-3 to grow an acre of
cats, or a difference OF $500 an acre
In favor of oats.
Provided the respective crop yields
are not altogether out of proportion to-
the cost of growing the crop, this

of growing oats. But to grow .oats.
