‘e * vaine and taxicab and equilibrator, NO EXCUSE FOR BEING IGNORANT The Pioneer Has Inaugurated An In- struction Plan That Will Appeal To Its Readers. NEEDED KNOWLEDGE HANDY. At the Elbow Library Condensed Into One Volume—the New Webster- ian Dictionary. IS PRACTICALLY GIVEN AWAY, Can Be Obtained By Small Cost De- posit and Coupons From This Paper. Employers and educators of Be- midji agree that the most lamentable lack of learning with which they have to contend is the prevailing ig- norance of the correct use of the Eng- lish language. The means to effec- tively remedy this deplorable condi- tion has been a pedagogic puzzle. ‘The Pioneer believes that it offers its readers today the solution in com- mencing the distribution of the best educational work ever embodied in one volume of convenient size, the Tllustrated. Libraries of many volumes, uni- versities of many departments, schools, colleges and classes and all the educational army and impedimen- ta are of no use to the average person who can not or will not go to them when information or instruction is required, but the Pioneer offers a comprehenvive course of at-the-el- bow education to everyone. The knowledge that you need ev- ery day and every hour is brought to you in one hook of reasonable size to which you can readily refer without moving from your chair or desk. Gradually you will acquire more and more learning without being aware that any effort is being expended. A vast fund of information will be al- ways at your elbow. The Pioneer is confident that the intelligent clientele made up of the patrons of this paper will eagerly grasp this opportunity, and so has se- cured the entire limited edition of this unique work just issued. A glance at this book will convince you that the proposition is worthy of investigation, for it is no ordinary volume, bound as it is in black limp leather, it looks like a Bible. Open the covers and you find that the book is profusely illustrated and that each word defined stands out in black-face type, making it easy to find what you want when you want it. This dictionary is not published by the original publishers of Webster’s Dictionary or by their successors. It has been revised and brought up to the present date in accordance with the greatest authorities from leading universities, Dr. Harry Thurs- ton Peck being its editor in chief. Tt contains all the words of the English language that are not peculiarly ap- priate to a dictionary of technical terms. The spelling and pronuncia- tion of plurals are given, and the use of capitals and small letters. The book gives the past tense and par- ticiples of all verbs not regularly formed by the addition of “d.”” “ed’ and “ing.” The pronunciation of each word is plainly indicated by phonetic spelling, and the definitions are presented in a most comprehen- sive yet concise, accurate and relia- able manner. As a preface to the dictionary prop- er I8 a treatise on abbreviations of the parts of speech and their grammatical composition and derivation. As a means of promoting the correctness of speech, both spoken and written, an analysis of the “Principles of Grammar” is given. The rules adopt- ed by the Simplified Spelling Board are given under the head of words spelled in two ways, of which the Board of Simplified Spelling recom- mends the simpler spelling. There is also a complete key to pronunciation, which is invaluable to one who would speak the language properly. Every new word recently coined and adopted by custom has been in- cluded. For example, the word “Os- lerize,” taken from Professor Osler, who would chloroform people at the age of forty-five, when, according to his theory, they have outlived their usefulness. Also there are aviator and biplane and brainstorm and sto- MAYOR WILLIAM J. GAYNOR OF . - LATE NEWS.

TRAVELS FAR TO MARRY Young Girl Journeys From Germany To Bemidji to Wed Sweetheart of Her Childhood. MAKE THEIR HOME AT FOWLDS Ida Zittlan is expected in Bemidji from Germany before seven o’clock tonight. Word to that effect was re- ceived this morning from government immigration officials who are seeing that she reaches her safely. destination Fraulein Zittlan, who is bui twenty-three, was wooed and won in the old country by Karl Gluck. Fail- ing to win the approval of the fair lady’s family, Karl came to America to seek his tortune. He located near Fowlds on cut-over land and it was a big day when he could send for his Ida, Suspicioning that perhaps Frau- lein Zittlan would become a victim of the white slave traffic over here, the federal cuthorities insisted that G. G. Winter, who had been conduct- ing Karl’s steamship correspondence for him, should swear that there would be a legal marriage as soon as the girl arrived here. This Mr. Win- ter did, even going so far as to pledge to marry her himself it Mr. Gluck changed his mind. It has been over two years since Karl left- the old country but his heart is true and he proved it by tak- ing out a marriage license. He was ex- pected from Fowlds today, but word did not reach him until too late to catch the Red Lake train and he may not get to Bemidji until tomorrow. But Mr. Winter says that Fraulein Zittlan will become Frau Kluck as soon as both arrive in Bemidji.

BIG BUTTER RECORD. Ole Haganson, who lives on a farm near Wilton, believes he has set a new butter record for grade cows.

Mr. Haganson says he believes the record is due to the fact that he feeds ensilage during the summer. At present, he has enough to last until August 15 and will start feeding it again in the fall. He points out that the records were made over and above the amount of home consumed cream. Mr. Hagan- son was the first man in the country to build a silo, } 8Shock Absorber. .

ROAD BUILDING TO START IN SPRING State Money Available for 1912 Has Been Spent, But Will Not Cause Delays, MUCH - PRELIMINARY WORK | Petitions Must Be Filed, Contracts Let and Bonds Sold Before Be- ginning Construction. DULUTH TO ST. VINCENT FIRST Outlook at Present is That This High- way Will Be Commenced Before Any Others. ’ Actual construction werk on the new Beltrami county roads and etate highways running through this coun- ty will begin early next spring, ac. cording to a statement made this morning by Charles Forbes, engineer for the state highway commission. Mr. Forbes stopped here between trains coming from the north, The present state tax gives the highway commission $400,000 a year with which to work, but as this mon- ey has already been divided between the counties, there are no available funds for work this year. If the Dunn amendment is passed this fall, the state will have $1,600,000 each year available for good roads. Under the Elwell law, the state pays half of the cost of the road, the county one-fourth and the benefitted property owners one-fourth. This expense is primarily stood by the county which issues bonds for the amount of the road contract. -The county then colects from the state- and the land owners. These bonds run for ten years, so that in a ten year period under present laws, $8,- 000,000 can be expended for good roads in Minnesota. Of this amount, the state would pay $4,000,000, the counties $2,000,000 and the prop- erty owners $2,000,000. If the Dunn amendment is passed, these figures will be quadrupled. As it is too late in the season to start construction this year, the county officials are taking all the pre- paratory steps now so that by the time next spring is here, everything will- be ready for the actual work. The preliminary work includes the estimates,. viewers, letting of con- tracts, selling of bonds, etc. The work will probably be divided into stretches of not less than ten miles of road and bids asked for on that basis. - Petitions for the Duluth-St. Vin- cent road have been filed in every county through which it will pass and it is probabl that it will be the first state highway built. Petitions for the twin city-International road are being circulated now and will probably be filed within a few weeks. . While in Roseau county, Mr. For- bes estimated the cost of+a road and divided the cost among the property owners benefitted in order that they might have some idea of how much the road would cost them. Mr. For- bes found that the cost to the farm- ers would be fifteen mills per acre per year for ten years. The road es- timated would cost about $30,000, payable $3,000 per year, to build and 21,000 acres were benefitted. Unemployed to Talk Panaceas.
