LARGE ATTENDANCE WILL BE HAD AT THE MEETINGS Publicity Meetings Billed for Blackduck, Bemidji and Bagley Will Be Full of Interest.---Good Speakers Have Been Secured. Great interest is being mani- fested in the publicity meetings which will be held in Blackduck, Bemidji and Bagley on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 21, 22; and 23, respectively, and indications point to a very large attendance of both the residents of the farm dis- trict and the city and villages. At these meetings A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the Northeast Experimental Farm at Grand Rapids, | will speak along the line of dairying | and dairy farm management in northern Minnesota, and the discus- | sion of general farming for this sec-| tion of the state. As Mr. McGuire is thoroughly informed in the subjects mentioned, his address is expected to be very instructive and entertaining. George Welch, state immigration | commissioner, has consented to be| present and will speak on “‘Immigra- tion and the settlement of the Vacant Available Lands in Minnesota” Mr. Welch is a fluent talker and| thoroughly understands the subjeets assigned him |he will undoubtedly| receive much attention. Curtis L. Mosher of St. Paul! secretary of the Minnesota Federa- tion of Commercial clubs, will also be present. He will speak on Advemsmz the Tourist Attractions of the State of Minnesota,” and also ‘State and Local Advertising.” Mr. Mosher has a reputation of being the greateft “hustler” in the twin cities and his talk -here will be chuck full of good pointers for northern Minnesota towns, along the line of publicity. William Magivney, of the South St. Paul Stock Yards, will speak on the “Stock Industry of the State of Minnesota” and “How to make Min nesota one of the Greatest Sto.k States of the Union.” The Bemidji meeting will be he'd in the city hall and every effort will be made to care for the visitors from the rural districts who will be preser.t The Bagley meeting will consist of a combined market day and pub- ilit::ty meeting and already people of the Clearwater county metropolis are doing some strong advertising to make the meeting a success. Remember that the Bemidji meet- ing will be held at the city hall, Friday, May 22, Teachers Should Investigate. It is said that a party by the name 'of Langdon is “raising Ned” among the country school marms around Fowlds by a new scheme which he confidesto the unsuspect- ing teachers. This party pretends to represent a company in Minnea- polis which guarantees to secure first and second-grade certificates for the applicants, and on payment down of $2 cash assures the applicant a job either asfirst-grade teacher at $60 per month or second-grade tutor at $50 per month. All that is neces- sary is the paid-down deposit of $2. As this $2 seems to be about the ex- tent of the deal, it would be well for the teachers to investigate a little more thoroughly before “giving up.” Hauling Logs on M. R. L. & M. The M. R. L. & M. railway began to haul logs for the C. A. Smith Timber company from along their line of railroad north of Bemidji. The first logs will be taken from Lake Julia, near the outlet of that lake and they will be hoisted onto the cars at Puposky Siding. The logs will be brought to Bemidji and hauled over the M. & I. from this city to Minneapolis to be sawed into logs at the Mill city. L. F. Johnson, the general mana- ger for the C. A. Smith company, has charge of the work of hauling the logs and he states that the company will take outabout 5,000,- 000 feet from White Fish lake, Mud lake and Lake Julia. Preparations for the annual meet- ing of the Minnesota State Asso- ciation of Elks are being pushed expeditiously by the executive com- mittee and the various sub-commit- tees having the program of enter- tainment in charge and everything is going along smoothly toward the desired end—that ‘of giving the “horned brethren” of the state the best time they ever had, at a state meeting. It is the intention of the commit- tee to make a feature of the decora- tions of the city on the 18, 19-and 20 of June, the dates on which the Elks will hold the state meeting here. With the end in view of creating a lively interest in the decorations of the business buildings of the city, it bezsaeh is proposed to give: prizes for the best decorated places. Another feature will probably ' be the offering of prizes for the best appearing lodge in the parade; also the lodge with the largest number of men in line. The badges which have been se- lected for the meeting will: make very handsome souvenirs. There will be a madallion, on which will be an exact likeness of the late Chief Bemidji, after whom the city of Be- midji was named. These badges will be given away to all Elks who attend the convention, In the matter of speakers for the convention, the speakers’ committee invited Governor John A. Johnson to deliver a speech here during the meeting. The zovernor is a strong AILY BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNEDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1008. | EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS - BEING MADE FOR MEET!

Wright, who is seeking the republican nom- ination for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district: “We who live in Hubbard county and have known Mr. Wright for many years fully appreciate his full worth and efficiency for the position of judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district.

The recovery of ‘M. C. Jennings, who laid at the point of death for some time as a result of terrible wounds received from the saw,while sawing logs, has been a matter of considerable comment, owing to the fact that Jenning’s injuries were ' of s0 serious a nature that but few had any idea that he would ever recover. On April 25 Jennings was oper- ating the sawmill on the farm of A. T. Wheelock 1n the ‘town of Maple Ridge. He got under the saw to scrape away the dirt when his head got into contact with the teeth of the saw and was fearfully cut in the head and face, making a long gash reach- ing along the front of his forehead and his nose and upper lip being entirely severed. Jennings was brought to the St. Anthony’s hospital in this city where he was given every care'and although his face has terrible scars, he is . get- ting along very well. Dairymen Are Warred.
