FORTY CENTS PER MONTH DISTRICT CONVENTION WAS SPLENDID SUCCESS The Knights of Pythias of the Fourtéenth District and Their Ladies Had Most Enjoyable Time.—Grand Chancellor Delighted with Bemidji. The district convention of the Knights of Pythias lodge of Bemidji and the towns adjacent to this city, was concluded last night when there was a regular session of the Bemidji lodge together with a social session at the conclusion of the business session. < There was a large attendance at the evening session, members of the order being present from Park Rapids, McIntosh, Blackduck and other points. The convention yesterday fore- noon was devoted principally to speech making for the good of the order. DeForest Ward of Fairmont, the grand chancellorof the Minnesota grand lodge of K. P.s, arrived in the city yesterday noon and partici patad in the convention and the good time incident thereto. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the visiting K. P.s and their ladies were taken on Lake Bemidji fora boatride. The party stopped at Diamond Point and the balance of the afternoon was very enjoyably spent at picnicking. The party returned at 6 o’clock and in the early evening the ladies were taken for a ride on the lake. At 8 o'clock in the evening the regular session of Bemidji Lodge K. P., was called to order when three candidates presented them- selves at the Castle hall for the pur- pose of receiving the rank of knight- hood in the order of Knights of Pythias. The Blackduck degree team, assisted by a few members of the Bemidji lodge, performed the work of conferring the third rank. They did their work very well, and there was much favorable comment on their efficiency. T. J. Miller asthe king, was especially good. During the session, Grand Chancellor Ward was called upon for some remarks and responded with a short address. He paid a high compliment to the work of the Blackduck degree team, stating that the team would put to shame the members of any older organization. He told of a contest which will be held this fall and winter and urged the Bemidji and Blackduck teams to participate. He alluded to the work being done in China, where two lodges had been organized and asserted that the order was in truth reaching “from sea to sea.” Mr. Ward stated he was greatly pleased with his visit to Bemidji and the entertainment provided and hospitality extended by Bemidji Knights was the most enjoyable he had ever experienced. He com- mended G. A. Walker, the special district deputy for his untiring efforts in arranging the convention. His attendance here will be a pleasure long remembered. W. W. Woolley of Park Rapids, past grand chancellor of Minnesota delivered an eloquent, though brief, address. He said he was much pleased at the cordial reception he had received, and assured the mem- bers that he knew the hard task of maintaing a K. P. lodge in a lodge ridden country town. He told of his work as grand chancellor, say- ing that he had visited 152 lodges during the year of his incumbrance of that office. Mr. Woolley’s speech was delivered with a ring of sincerity and was loudly applauded. At the conclusion of the regular session of the lodge the members of the Pythian Sisters lodge and the lady friends of the Knights who had assembled in the club room, first floor of the hall, came to the lodge room and mingled with the Knights for the purpose of enjoying a social session and participating in the literary and musical program. Chancellor Commander Walker called for order, and after a few brief remarks, Miss Olive Miller rendered a piano solo very accept- ably. J. E. Lindgren told a couple of laughable stories. This was followed by the program, which was rendered in a manner that shows that Bemidji and Blackduck have local talent which possess more than ordinary ability. , Mrs. Freeburg of Blackduck recited “Salvator Won,” in a very able manner. B. F. Wright of Park Rapids responded very briefly to a request for some remarks and was loudly applauded. Mrs. J. E. Lindgren was voci- ferously received when she sang several “coon” songs. She is cer- tainly good. Grand Chancellor Ward deliee ered a few remarks in wnich he emphatically proclaimed his admir- ation for the fair sex, more especially the ladies of Bemidji. J. R. Romdenne of Blackduck was called on for a story, but was not present. Dr. Freeburg told a good one in the absence of Mr. Romdenne, Miss Olive Miller gave another piano solo. Dr. P. D. Winship of Park Rap- ids spoke briefly concerning Pyth- ianism and the hearty welcome which he had received in Bemidji, which he assured his hearers that he greatly appreciated. Chancellor Commander Walker closed the program with a few re- marks in which he thanked the Knights and ladies for their atten- dance and assistance in making the convention and the social session the success that it was. The ladies and the Knights of Bemidji lodge served icecream and cake and other refreshments, after which the convention and social sessioan adjourned sine die. During the evening the meeting discussed the place for holding the next convention. It was the senti- ment that the next be held at Blackduck, sometime early in November. Much credit is due G. A. Walker, special district deputy grand master for district No. 14 and members of Bemidji lodge for the most successful convention. PAID A HIGH GOMPLIMENT T0 A FELLOW TOWNSMAN W. W. Woolley Tells of High Esteem in Which B. F. Wright Is Held at Home. W. W. Woolley ot Park Rapids, a prominent member of the Hubbard county bar, spent last night in Be- midji and participated in the meet- ing of the local K. P. lodge. Mr. Woolley found time to talk a little on the political situation, especially relative to the republican nomina- tion for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district; and he said of B. that position: “We who live in Hubbard county and are in close touch with B. F. Wright have come to regard him highly as an attorney. He is learned in the law, broad-minded, and is 2 man who never forms snap judgments on anything. If he were elected as judge of this district, there is no doubt but that he would make an excellent jurist. He has every qualifioation for the position. He is conducting a clean campaign, which is characteristic of the man, and we in Hubbard county are proud of him.” So uvenir post cards at the Pio- neer office, Additional local matter will be found F.

He began with but a few swarms of bees and has gradually increased the number until now he has ninety swarms of fine bees.
