SPENT $1.70---GOT $14,000 The Pioneer takes great pleasure in boosting for Bemidji, its people, their interests and all business en- terprises and never overlooks an op- portunity to do so, but the Ploneer is also doing things in its mission as a newspaper and modestly calls at- tention to an instance which hap- pened yesterday wherein a patron spent $1.70 with the Pioneer and re- ceived in, return $14,000. On February 9, J. H. French came to the Pioneer office and inserted this little want ad: FOR SALE—160-acre farm, 1 mile from high school. House and barn modern. Garage 20x30. J. H. French, Bemidji. In Seveénteen days he sold the farm advertised to Charles Jackson of Oak Park, Minn., for $14,000. Which again demonstrates the value of the Pioneer as an advertis- ing medium. The Pioneer is the People’s Paper. It is taken by people who are in- telligent, succesgful and who have money to spend. It is taken and paid for, and what the Pioneer has done for Mr. French it can do for others. No Warning Given. London, Feb. 27.—Consul Frost to- day officially reported that the La- conia was sunk without warning. Two torpedoes were fired twenty minutes apart.
