The thing that’s bothering us now is: Where do they hide their monéy and: their vaccination marks? udge. The financial part of the query in- terests us.” Consequently, we are willing to let the Judge know if w find out first. ¥ —~Can William Tell?— Ashes to Ashes A Gloversville (N.'Y.) man, whose wife had left him, had the following inserted in the local paper: “Whereas, my wife, Nettie Ash, has, without cause or_ provocation, left my bed and board, I hereby give notice to all not to sell, trust or har- bor her on my account, as I will not be responsible therefor.” The following day Mrs. Ash coun- tered with the following. “], having just cause and provoca- tion, have left Arthur Ash’s board, but not his bed, as that was mine and I took it with me.” —How About the Ash Can?— One Is Enough After reading recent advertise- ments of the present offerings of furnace dealers, we are won't to say: Happy is the man who has an old furnace in his cellar. It enables him to forget all his other troubles. —But Not Forgive— He Got There First A local road contractor who was arraigned a few days ago at St. Paul, and is now being held for want of bail, paid Bemidji a very high com- pliment during the course of the hear-} ing when- he stated that the Liberty bonds, which he is said to have had in his possession and which are al- leged to be stolen property, were found by him on a brush pile near Bemidji. So far, we have never been able to find any Liberty bonds growing around on brush piles, even in the vicinity of Bemidji, and have never been informed by any of this county’s land clearers that they have found any such valuable bonds. A man who can find Liberty bonds on brush piles ought to be just as valuable as the “booze” hound who| can detect liquor these days. —No- Such Luek— CLUB MEMBERS’ N, 2% M 8 {Continued from Page 1) ship Blank and deterntine to share in the $4,000 worth of awards to be given out October.29. ! Effort Will Win Many of the most popular, ener- getic men and women_of Bemidji and Northern Minnesota are included in the short Ibut representative list of | club members. Every one of these par- ticipants are worthy of your sup- port. A little help now—right at the beginning of the campaign—will lend encouragement and help to some one who has shawn that he or she has the ambition - worthy of your assistance and therefore your subscription. This 19 not a charitable undertaking, nor are club members asking for charity or gifts of any kind. Every one who eubscribes for The Pioneer is get- ting his money's worth and a little bit more. Understand that effort and per- eistence alone will win this campalgn and the big prizes attendant thereto. There I8 no chance for luck about it. The best workers will earn the big- gest prizes. Bvery safeguard possible | has been made to jnsure fajrness and | impartialjty. One can hear many tales in a day’s travel but none are more insidious and misleading than the state ment that there never was, nor nevr can be, a prize campaign con- ducted that is not unfair. Such state- ments are made usually to discourage those who could, if they persisted, win the largest prizes and reap the biggest awards. Early Start Important Those who have entered the cam- paign and have not started to work as yet are overlooking the Dbest op- iportunity of the campaign. Early work means five times as much as the same amount of effort later on. 1f you can get all the subscriptions while the other fellow sleeps there will not be many orders left when the slumbering one comes to con- sclousness. 1t takes pep and energy to put your campaign over and to win in a big way. But who says that you have not as much abjlity and ambition as your neighbor? Poten- tially you are a winper until you| prove thut you do not have the quali- ties necessary to win. And you can develop winning qualities if you only think you can. The campaign is so short—less than six weeks remain—that unless you get started very soon the active club members will get so far ahead that it will be ‘almost impossible to catch up. Such is not the case as yet but every day you lose now is mak- ing it doubly hard to keep pace with whoever the leaders may be Thursday. i~ The tirst official standing of the varijous club members will be made in Thutsday’s Pioneer. All credits and “gubseriptions in The Pioneer office ‘by 9 o’clock next Wednesday evening will be counted and the result pub- ~lished Thurscay.

MINNESOTA DRYS WILL | (By United Press) Minneapolis, Sept. 17.—Minnesota dry forces were concentrating on pro- hibition enforcement regulatjons to- day with the announced plan of mak= ing Minnesota “bone dry.” The campaign against liquor traffic will come to a head here Monday when a state-wide conference of pro- hibition enforcement agents, anti-sa- loon league forces and others inter- ested in keeping) “old John Barley- corn, in his grave” will be convened here. : George S.

E. V. Willard, state drainage com- missioner, is in charge of arrange- ments for the conference. Drainage experts from.every state where drain- age is a problem obstructing devel- opment, will be here. The conference will open Septém- ber 22.

The road sides have not been cared for because they were waste land and this lack of care has made them spreaders of weed seed and hay fever. A narroewer roadway, well kept, would in most cases: serve all thre purposes required, drainage and safety, says the Successful Farming. Now that the roads are to be hard surfaced the tendency is to go to the otlier extreme in order to save taxes for paving.. We must look ahead. If we put down a paving that will last fifteen or twenty years, we must esti- mate if possible the amount and kind of traffic it will' bear at that time. Putting the Finishing Touches on Hard Surface Road. If the road I8 dangerously narrow now; as 18 the case where less than elighteen feet is paved, what will it be in’ twenty years? Eighteen feet: should be the mini- muin, not' the maximum, and on main traveled roads -a greater width. will seem narrow in'twenty years. In Eng- land and France the roads are pavel cleir to the fences or sides of the highways, unless a curb and sidewalk or bicycle path- is maintained between the road and fence.
