IN Which the Gus

"The name of Charles
Ponzi, the swindler, popped
into the newspapers again
the other day." writes Frank
Jenkins, of Boston, land I
remembered a swell yarn in
connection with him when |
read it. You may be inter
ested.
There was, around these
parts at one time, a certain gen.
tleman who called himself the
Great Rollo, or some such mod
est tag. He was a medium or
clairVoyant of some sort.
But he didn't go in for the
usual fortune-telling stunts. He
didn't gaze into a crystal and
tell you that you we're going to
meet a dark lady with long hair,
or vice versa. No, indeed. The
Great Rollo was, to quote his
own advertisement, a financial
advisor.
I'm other words, one of your
hard-headed business men who
wouldn't trust his own mother
with fifty cents would repair to
the office of the Great Rollo.
There he would sit and listen
eagerly while the gifted gen.
tleman called upon the occult
powers for advice.

was very, very expensive.
tits hard to believe, but the
Great Rollo had many a sucker
on his string. The way these
hard-headed business men ran
to Rollo was little short of amaz
ing. They actually felt that this
man, by some mysterious influ-
ence, really had some inside
dope.
Accordingly, the man was ex-
tremely successful. His ability
to pick the right stocks for
speculation was, seemingly,

AVERAGE AUTO LICENSE ss,ss

The average motor vehicle license
cost 1929 in Minnesota in 1888. or
1852 less. than the 1882 average. Be
sides the tax rate cut, lower auto
mobile prices brought down the av-
erage tax. Highway income was
cut nearly. $4,OO0OOO. Since main
tenance and other fixed charges
come first, this all came out of the
construction fund. Less perman-
emit construction soon means more
maintenance, or poorer roads, or
both.
~ $3.50 annual saving amounts to
less than 1-10th cent a mile for the
average car or truck. If highways
are not, improved and maintained
in keeping with traffic needs. car
owners will soon pay several times
l-lOth cent a mile in increased gas,
tire and repair bills.
Next year failure to match feder-
al aid will mean loss of that in
come. Each dollar saved in auto
taxes will mean two dollars loss for
road construction in Minnesota.

lars added to the cost of operating

After nearly a years preparation

is complete, announces Raymond A.
Lee, secretary.
Final approval was given at a
special meeting of the board of
managers. Staging of a All poul-
try competition to be held in con-
nection with the poultry show for
the first time, revamping of the
combining of the display of the
states resources by the Divisions
of Forestry, Land and Minerals,
Game and Fish, Drainage and Wat
ers and Tourist bureau in the new
$4,000 Conservation building are
last minute additions to the pro-
gram.
Closing of entries in the cattle,
horse, sheep and swine depart
ments assures a record number of
animals in the livestock division.
Officials are elated to find that de-
spite the drought conditions in
some sections Of the country lead
ing breeds of Minnesota and the
Northwest will have strong repre-
sentation. Many nationally known
herds will show for the first time.
More than 5000 birds, the pick of
the focks that have made Mime
sofa one Of the nations leading
poultry states, will be in competi-
ton in the poultry show. Glasses
have been included for chickens,
ducks, geese, turkeys, pigeons, and

closely skirting the lake shore, new
ideas in highway Identification and
safety. will be put into practice.
Steep side bitches and sharp, ug-
ly cuts viii be reduced to safe,
gentle slopes covered with native
ferns, wildflowers and other wild
vegetation of the countryside. The
highway, instead of being raw
cash through the woods, will be
made to harmonic with the
scenery so that the edge Of the
right-of-way will blend impercept-
IDLY with the wilderness.
Undesirable brush, dead wood
and fallen trees will be cleared
away along the roadsides. In some
places carefully planned thinning
Of woods will be carried out to open
up vistas along trout streams or
out upon the lake. In other spots
native trees and shrubbery will be
planted. Guard rails Of rustic con-
struction are planned.
At Cascade, where the Cascade
river flows into Lake Superior, a
roadside parking area large enough
to accommodate forty automobiles
will be constructed. A native stone
concourse will overlook the lake,
while on the other side of the high
way, foot trails will lead back into
the woods along the river banks.
Here the state owns 1000 acres
of land in the Superior national
forest. "A CCC camp is being built
at Cascade, to house the young
men who will carry out the work.
In, addition to roadside activities
they will construct a f1rebreak
around the state land and build
trails under the direction of the
state conservation department. The
CCC buildings are being so planned
that eventually they can be turned
over to the conservation depart
ment for park and tourist use.
