After you buy it, you want to get all the heat out of it there is in it if you can. It stands to reason therefore that a stove that is well and substan- tially made and fitted: that will heat up to beat the band when you want plenty of warmth--that will hold the fire low if desired —that will do its work just as you want it to—is the stove that 1s most profitable for you to buy. "AHAMR ASHPANTHER || YOUVE BEEN TRYING FOR 36 YEARS TO GET INTO THE ROUND K STOVE BUT YOU EVER wiILL DO lT"] The genuine R OUND OAK is that stove. It is the stove with a good character, with a great reputation for economy, dura- bility and heat giving. It possesses just the things you should be looking for in a stove, and there is no guesswork about it. Ev- ery person who owns a ROUND OAK will testify to the truth of what we say. Give us the opportunity to set forth the reasons why it excels all other heating stoves and we’ll ““make good.” There are imitations—poor things—be sure and see the name “ROUND OAK?" on the leg and door, W.

L. Amadon, who has beena pro- gressive and up-to-date farmer near Alida post-office, Bear Creek Town- ship, Clearwater county, announced that he will exhibit at the forth- coming Beltrami county fair trans- cendent crab apples and black ber- ries, which he has raised during the present season, ) Mr. Amadon’s farm is almost on the line between Beltrami and Clear- water counties, and he consequently considers that the products of his farm, in Clearwater county, are inimical to those of Beltrami connty. Mr. Amadon “has cultivated his farm in a thoroughly up-to-date manner and has given considerable attention to horticultural products. He has taken special pains with the raising of crab apples, and this year has an especially fine crop of trans- cendents. His black berries are also of a superior variety, as will be shown at the fair. New Baptist Pastor. Rev. H. Robinson McKee, wife and children, also his sister, Miss McKee, formerly of Parkers Prairie, arrived in Bemidji Thursday even- ing, on the east-bound train. Their household goods arrived the follow- ing day and were safely landed in R o — the Baptist parsonage. Rev. McKee comes as pastor at the Baptist church,to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Rev. Thos. Broomfield. We feel sure that he will be pleased to meet a full - congregation in the church, corner of Eight St. and Beltrami Ave., on Sunday. A very hearty welcome to our city is extended Rev. McKee and family and it is hoped that they may dwell with us for many years, and that much good may crown their efforts for good in our community. THE GOUNTY FARM IS THE PRIZE AT STAKE The Special Commissioners Postpone Their Visit to Grand Rapids for One Week. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 14—T. J. Downs, Einar Hoidale and M. C. Tifft, commissioner appointed by Gov. John A. Johnson to appraise the property of Itasca and Koochi- ching counties, were to have left for Grand Rapids this evening to begin their work, but business duties of one of the the commissioners have caused the start to be postponed one week. . The property isto be appraised so that a fair division may be had between the county of Itasca and the new county of Koochiching. The bone of contention seems to be the Itasca county poor farm, on which valuable iron ore is said to be located. SUBSGRIPTIONS FOR FAIR BEING LIBERALLY MADE Many Are: Voluntarily Placing Their Names on the List for Required Fund. Subscription to the fund for carry- ing on the forthcoming county fair are coming in quite liberally. No strong effort has been made to generally circulate the petition for subscriptions, as members of the finance committee have been very busy the past few days. However, a determined effort will be made during the next week to secure the entire amount that is absolutely necessary to be subscribed to safely finance the fair, Subscriptions of the $10 list to date are as follows: TODAY’S SUBSCRIPTIONS.

ALDERMAN FRED BRINKMAN The Fearless, Hard-Hitting Captain of the City Team ALDERMAN MATT MAYER The Strong-Armed Pitcher of the City Baseball Team The gentlemen who are in the employe of the city in various capa- | cities have decided that they will take a “back seat” in the game of baseball which is to be played against the county officials on the opening day of the fair—“Old| Settlers’ Day,” September 26th. i Pursuant“to their determination to skin” the “county” team, a number of the city officials held a meeting Thursday evenihg for the purpose of organizing their forces Alderman Fred Brinkman was unanimously elected captain of the city team, and voted authority to select players and place them for the game.

The game which was .played recently between the two teams resulted in a victory for the city, by a small margin. The game was wit- nessed by a large crowd and the entire affair was ludicrous in the extreme. Ike Black, whose eccentric actions and great make-up created roars of laughter, will again officiate as "umps." PRESIDENT W. A. GOULD Mr. Gould was a strong member of last year’s City ball team.
