Ed. L. Shave, sporting editor of the
St. Paul Daily News, in letter to
The Pioneer, makes favorable COM
ment on the wrestling match to be
held here April 8 between l.. C. Cur
tbs of Bemidji and Ralph Pracaut of
Royal, Iowa. The letter in part is as
follows:
81 saw Parcaut win his champion
ship in the Cirque de Paris, in Paris,
in the finals for the A. E. F. wrestling
and boxing championship. He is a
great wrestler. Make no mistake
about that, and he also wrestles when
he is on the mat He is one wrestler
who does his best. There is no fax
ing with him.
''That is one reason why he does
not get the matches that he should,
as many of the boys are side-stepping
him.
81 think Curtis is the same fellow

Chicago, April 2.--The old-fashion-
ed girl is passing. Into her place IS
stepping a brilliant, self-reliant pur-
poseful feminine type--the modern
American girl.
And with critics deploring the ex-
IRENE dress Of the girl of today,
Mary Ross Potter, dean of women at
Northwestern university, came to her
defense.

old standards are BEST" Dean Potter
told the United Press today. thine
will tell. We should not judge too
harshly. Let US build for the future.
Do not restrict the young girls, but
give them a chance.
Everything is keyed up to the
maximum. Life is very, very COM
plicated in this transition period and
in transition the young generation is
generally more susceptible to the
thrill and excitement. And they go
to extremes because this is a day of
extremes"

N. D. FARM DELEGATION
SPLIT ON MARKET PLAN
Marketing of Wheat Causes
Delegates to Disagree on
Proposed Plan
(By United PresS)

Fargo, N. D., April 2.-The dele
CATION from North Dakota farm or
CARNATIONS to the national meeting
for consideration Of the marketing
plan of the committee of II will not
be united on the plan, according to
early indications today, as the rep
resentatives of the committee of II
explain their proposed marketing sys-
tenn.
1t is reported that George Duis,
Grand Forks, president Of the North
Dakota branch of the national grain
growers, is opposed to the proposition
of the committee of II in that it does
not provide for a separate organiza-
ton for the marketing of wheat and
he fears producers of other commod
tiles will Overshadow the wheat men
to such an extent that they will not
obain he results sought 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Duis' opinion repre-
sents that of the national wheat
growers in the state.
U. L. Burdick, president of the
North Dakota Farm Bureau fedora
ton, has gone on record as approving
the plan. Anthony Dalton, Minet,
president of the Equity cooperative
exchange for North Dakota, and c.
L. Williams, De Lac, master Of the
grain, the other two bodies to be rep
resented here today, have not as yet
committed themselves.
At the farm bureau offices, it was
said that Mr.. Duis has been urged to
attend the meeting and it was hoped
that then he would be elected to go to
Chicago to voice his reasons for op-
posing the committee of II in this
particular.
At previous united meeting of
the farm bodies, Mr.. Duis had stated
that the cooperation between the
farm bureau and national wheat
growers was much to be desired. and
that big interests would like nothing
better than to keep the two organ
izations divided.
Six delegates to the national meet
ing are to be chosen today. Address
es will be given by J. M. Anderson
president Of the Equity cooperative
exchange, c. V. Gregory, Chicago
and Senator E. F. Ladd, all members
of the committee Of II, and leaders
in the four farm organizations rep
resented here.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS
FAVORED BY N. D. WARDEN
(I,y United press)

Bismarck, N. D., April 2.-Capital
punishment alone will reduce the
crime wave in North Dakota in the
opinion OF l.. J.. Stair, warden or the
state penitcntiary. Experience with
criminals at the state prison has i'm
pressed on Warden Stair the advlsa-
bility of restoring the death penalty.
A bill to this effect was defeated by
the last legislature. -,
In only one instance was the death
penalty, in vogue during the early
DAYS of stated hood, enforced. That
was in the case Of farm laborer
who l,illcd nearly all the members of
his employers family, near Canada,
because of their objection to his
courtship of daughter. The daugh-
ter escaped from the fate of the rest
of the family by hiding in a wheat
field.

IS BOOSTED TO 10 CENTS

st. Paul, April 2.-The thrifty
telephone user who has heretofore
made his telephone calls from the
hotel pay station will now save S
cents by going outside to drug
store or other type Of pay station.
The reason is that at midnight Thurs
day the hotel pay stations raised
their rates from to 10 cents for
local calls.
Hotel managers pass the buck to
the telephone companies for the ne
necessity and telephone officials de-
clare they did not request the in
crease, but merely raised the gener-
al charge to the hotels.
At any rate the general increase
went into effect all over the state

of a return of the Hapsburgs to the
throne definitely ended.

his status had changed from king
to countless jester. Under Spanish
safe conduct and virtual custody of
the British army, Karl left Steina-
manager for the Swiss border in a spe
cial train. Elaborate preparations
were made to guard the train as it
passed through this and other Aus
ger he wrote a letter explaining he
was convinced his interests demand
ed his departure, but that he still
considered himself the legal monarch.
Karl, it was discovered, reserved the
right to resume the throne Later, ap-
pointing Admiral Horthy, the pre-
sent regent, as his chief lieutenant
during the interval.
Dispatches from Budapest stated
that the Hungarian national assem-
bly, adopted a resolution expressing
confidence in the government OF Re
gent Admiral Horthy and declaring
the return of Karl would constitute
a great national danger. Conflicting
reports were received as to whether
Karl had signed a formal statement
of abdication before his departure.

cided Professionally to permit former
Emperor Karl to return to this coun-
try Among the promises which will
be exacted from Karl will be to alb

without formal notice.
Vienna, April 2.-Former Emperor
Karl still calls himself king of Hun
gary and intimated on his departure
for Switzerland that he might make
another attempt to regain the Haps-
burg throne. This information was
contained in a dispatch received to-
day from Steinamanger, where Karl
made his headquarters during his at
tempted coup.
The dispatch stated that just be-
fore Karl departed from Steina man
he wrote letter explaining he was
convinced his interests demanded his
departure, but that he still considered
himself the legal monarch. Karl, it
was discovered, reserved the right to
resume the throne later, appointing
Admiral Horthy, the present regent,
as his chief lieutenant during the in
terval.

the ability of both Curtis and Par
