is time for you to get busy at once.
Bert F.. Yanland, the popular and
we'll known state highway engineer
for Clearwater county, has been
transferred to take over a similar
position in Pennington county, sue
ceeding Glenn Martz, who will move
to Litchfield and become the state
engineer for Meeker county. We re-
xret very much to see Mr.. Yanland
leave us, as he has been tried ana
trusted friend to- all matters pertain
ing to good roads. His labors among
us has given our county miles OF nrst
class highways, and if his hands had
not at times been completely tied by
superior authorities our highways
would be in much better shape than
they are at present. But we are
proud to state if our main highways
are defective at cetrain points 1t is
no fault of our former county en-
xineer, as he has labored over time
IN order to promote the spirit and
200 dfellowship necessary to promote
such work. We rest assured that Mr..
Yanland will prove himself one OF
the most capable and efficient high
way engineers and road boosters that
that county has ever had. We re-
Eret to see Mr.. Yanland leave us, but
rejoice over the fact that our good
neighbor county, Pennington, was
fortuante enough to secure his able
services.

Victor Anderson, a cousin of Gun
der Hedberg of Hoist, has just ar
rived here from Stockholm, Sweden.
He is we'll pleased with our country.
He says that everything is very high
priced in Sweden, far above our pri-
ces, and that the times are fairly
good considering these conditions.
Hon. S. G. Iverson returned to St.
Paul Saturday, after a few days visit
in this city. So far as is known he
did not confide anything definite in
regard to his political intentions to
anybody. It has been known quite
generally for some time that he may
become candidate for governor, and
that is about hoW the matter stands
now, so far as is known to the writer.
It is clearly established fact, how
ever that so far the candidates in the
field have failed to arouse any en-
thusiasm among the voters and the
nomination of any one of them will
(be kind of "hit and miss" choice,
if we are to judge by the present
outlook. We shall not venture any
definite statement as to Mr.. Iverson s
chances for the nomination, but as
to all around fitness for the office he
has no equal among the present can
didates.-Rushford Star Republican,

1t is with great pleasure that we
are in position to announce to the
readers of the "Pioneer" that Arthur
A. Lund, one of our prominent and
enterprising young farmers, residing
just north of Clearbrook, who is
spending the week at the Crookston
Farm Crop show, has captured first
prize money and honor in the follow
ing variety of potatoes: First prize
in turnips, First prize in Green
Mountains and first prize in Bur-
banks. Mr.. Lund is also fast becofn-
ing one of our fancy stock breeders.
Keep your eye on Arthur Our
happy congratulations, Art!
A young sport of the I'VE no work
class" attempted to loan some money
from one of the Bemidji banks on
Wednesday without consent of the
bank officials, and without interest.
The scheme did not work, as such
schemes never will, and now the
fallen young man will have lots OF
time to repent his fall from grace for
some time to come behind the bars
where all bad men rest May it serve
as a lesson to other young, who the
temptor will put to the test to resist
the call of the wicked spirit and pray
for health end strength with which
to fight off the devil and all his kind
in whatever form and shape they
may try to enslave you.

200 acres and considered one Of the
finest in this section. We under

P0Nz| GETS 5YEAR
TERM FOR FRAUD
Promoter Changes Plea to
-"Thqs Passes
Glory" He Writes.

BOSTON, November 80 (by the AS
sociated Press).-Charles Ponzi, pro-
moter of the get-rich-Quick scheme in
millions of dollars before it collapsed
last August. pleaded guilty to using
the mails in scheme to defraud, in the
federal district court here today
Sentence of five years in the Ply
mouth county Jail was imposed by
Judge Hale. The court took into con-
sideration only the first count of one
Indictment OF forty three counts, in
which it was charged that Ponzi had
represented falsely that he was able
to pay interest at the rate of 30 per
cent in forty-five days from profits
made in International postal reply
coupons.
In arguing the question of sentence,
Daniel II. Coakley. senior counsel for
Ponzi. told the court that it was
only after advice from counsel and
members of the discredited financier's
family that he agreed to retract his
plea of not guilty and plead guilty
instead. Mr.. Ponzi insisted and still
declared
POnzi Has Swagger Air.
The little Italian who, with prison
sentences in Canada and this coun-
try behind him. developed his
supposed scheme of exchange in in
ternationa1 postal reply coupons to
proportions that made him a marked
figure In finance, only to have his
mouse or easy money topple over on
MIN when the props of income from
investors were pulled out. had an
air OF swagger when he faced the
court. He was the same dapper man
about-town when he stepped from the
Cambridge jail this morning as in the
days when he was the idol of the
street crowds. A new tailored suit,
smart cravat, handkerchief in
breast pocket and feet adorned with
spats. made Ponzi again a man of
presence.
AShe faced another long prison SEN
tence. while his youthful wife sobbed
on his shoulder. he penciled on a
m memorandum block his parting word
to the public: sic transit gloria
mundf' (Thus passes the glory of the
world), and handed it to the press.
Leaves IS Counts on File.
When he went up to the bench to
plead moment later he was en-
phatic when he said .'T do" to the
clerks question whether he wished
to change his plea of not guilty. and
was-eQuaily asSertive as he made the
plea guilty" in loud tones in the
next breath. Then Ponzi leaned over.
resting his head on his arm. while
he listened to his counsel plea for
Ii ght Nsentence.
Ponzi will begin his sentence at the
county jail In Plymouth with eighty
five counts of the federal indictm ents
against him on file, and with charges
of larceny in many counts outstand-
ing against him in the state courts.
He is due also to face his creditors
of whom there are more than LOCO,
on December 8, when he will be sub
Ject to their interrogations as to
what he did with the millions in
trusted to him, of which his federal
receivers have been able to retrieve
only small part.

The estimates now being consider
ed by the House appropriations COM
mittee for the government expenses
during the fiscal year ending June
30. 1922, are several hundred thou
sand dollars higher than ever be-
FORE" according to House Leader
Mondel.
Mr.. Mondell agrees with Chair
man Good of the House appropria-
tude of the executive departments in
sending in such enormous estimates
is entirely indefensible,' and ex-
pressed the belief that some drastic
legislation may have to be passed
to stop the executive departments
from such reckless expenditures"
The regular appropriations bills
for the fiscal year 1920 carried $3,-
OBS. lis. 1913, in addition to which there
were other very large amounts in
deficiency and other supplemental
bills. Last year the estimates in the
regular appropriation bills for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1921,
totaled $3,440. .002. 1888, and the
regular appropriation bills carried
$2,212. lis, ,7Ss.7S
The leading members of the ap-
preparations committee, both repub-
hcans and democrats, say that the
even larger estimates submitted this
year are going to be slashed ito the
quick" Those who have expressed
that determination include Chairman

man Wood of the subcommittee on

Large reinforcements of Italian

LONDON, November 29.-A dispatch
to the London Times from Milan
quotes the newspaper Secolo as say
ing that a movement of regular
Italian troops is reported all along
the armistice line in the Adriatic
zone. and it it is rumored that Gen.
Caviglia has been ordered by the
Italian government to take the is
lands of veglia and Arbe. which were
seized by Gabrielle D'Annunzio's le-
gionaires, and also to occupy the
strip of territory near Castua. in
vaded by D'Annunzio soon after the
signing of the Rapallo treaty.
D'Annunzio. according to the dis
patch, has issued manifesto. in
which he says conflict is imminent
and that he and his men are ready
to fight and to die rather than to sub
NIT to the Italian forces. The dis
patch adds that excitement is rife in
Fiume, where all males from eighteen
years to fifty-two years have been re-
called to the colors.
