PIONEER COMPANY
 TO QUIT BUSINESS

our decision to retire from business
 in the North as soon as feasible or
 as is consistent with the moral ob-
 ligations we have always felt to-
 ward the people in the districts we
 have served. It is proposed to con
 tinue operations for a period long
 enough to afford our friends and
 patrons ample opportunity to ar
 range for their requirements. or
 for any successor or successors to
 establish for that purpose. The
 business of the country both as to
 mining and merchandising has un-
 dergone such violent change that the large and expensive organiza-
 tion hitherto maintained by the Northern Commercial company seems no longer justified and divi- sion into smaller units of interest and control might we'll replace it. It is, of course, needless to say that this decision is arrived at with the sincerest regret in the sever- ance all too soon of the pleasant relations of many years with a large number of old friends, and particularly in the dismemberment of an organization of loyal and ef- ficient men toward whom our feel ing is and always has been not as employees. but as coworkers. We will continue to operate until some time in 1922. Full instructions will follow by mail

Indicted for Receiving Stolen Cars

Onawa, Ia, May 22-The Mono
ma county grand jury returned an in
dictment against Frank Richardson,
who resided in Monona county, a
little north of Little Sioux. Richard
son. has been watched for several
months by local and state officials
and it was believed that he was re-
ceiving stolen property. A couple of
alleged auto thieves, named Fred
Druen and Rodney Red, were caught
and it is said by officers, in their con-
fession they told how Richardson
received cars stolen by this band of
auto thieves. He would then change
the numbers on the cars and other
wise disfigure them and sell the cars
For these stolen cars Druen is said
to have told officers there was a
schedule of 500 for Ford cars no
older than the 1917 model and for
Bucks 5000.
The grand jury found the evidence
so strong against him that they had
him arrested at once. He had recent
| ly moved to Nebraska but he was
soon located. It is stated that he has
secured the necessary bonds and by
this will save himself from Jail until
his case is taken up in court, which
will more than likely be the Novem-
Der term.

SAFES FOR HOME AND BUSINESS
There are over 20 Victor Fire Proof
Safes in use in Missouri Valley, more
than of any other make. The Victor
Co. makes and sells over twice as
many safes as any other firm in the
world.
These safes have taken every first
prize at all the great exposit:ons held
in this country. The Victor is the
standard. Made in small sizes for
home use, and larger sizes for bust
ness use. If you have valuable pa
pers, such as deeds, abstracts, insur-
ance policies, receipts, bonds, stocks,
etc., you need safe in your home.
Small home safes are not expensive.
The loss Of valuable papers would be
greater than the cost of several safes.
Farmers especially need safes in
their home.
Safes, by the way, are almost as
cheap as before the war. Think it
over and you will readily see that
most homes and all business houses
and offices need Fire Proof Safe.
Ask or write me for safe literature
and prices.
