Doube your efforts from now till 10:30 p. m. Saturday night, and double your votes. If a man offered you a position with a salary of $100 this week providing you went to work at once while if you were to wait till the next Monday you would only get half the salary—would you wait till' next Monday? If you did you would be a good companion for Harry Thaw—but you would quite likely start to work at once. Then why not take advantage of this your last chance to get double votes and receive twice the regular number of votes for each subscription you turn in. The old saying is: Take the peaches when they’re passing”; so you had better help yourself to the double vote offer while it lasts.

STATE GUN CLUBS TO MEET IN BEMIDJI Last Year's Winner of the Famous Qiamond Badge Will Bring Trophy Here, THE BIG TOURNAMENT WILL BE IN SESSION JUNE 16, 17 AND 18 Local Club Has Installed New Trap, and Has Grounds in Ideal " Condition. Bemidji is to have the annual meeting of the gun clubs. Dick Guptil of Aitkin, winner of the diamond badge last year; has prom- ised to bring the badge and, conse- quently, the state tournament, to Bemidji, at the invitation of the local rod and gun club. The meet will be held here June 16,17 and 18, President T. R. Symons, of the Bemidji Rod and Gun club, announced today that invitations will be sent in the next few days to the Minneapolis Gun club, the St. Paul Rod and Gun Club and to all similar organizations in the state to attend the big shoot here. _Entertainment is being arranged for the visitors. The clubs will shoot each morning of three days and in the afternoon will take ad- vantage of the excellent boating and fishing facilities of Lake Bemidji and nearby streams. Programs will be printed within a short time. The Bemidji club has shooting grounds second to almost none in the state. A level plot on the shore of Lake Irvin, a short distance from the Red Lake railroad bridge over the Mississippi.ziver, -where the blue | rocks, or pigeons, fly towards the lake, makes an ideal shooting ground. The club has just installed a trap house, a “New Era’ trap, which throws both single and double targets, a gun rack and a score board. The membership numbers over 40 gun men of this city. The joining fee is $5, and the members are charged one cent each for the blue rocks. Regular club shoots are held Wednesday evenings and Satur- day afternoons. The officers of the club .are anxious to have all the Bemidji men who wish to join the club and have not already been invited, to hand in their names. D. D. Miller is secretary of the local club, Will Build Fine Summer Home. A summer home which will cost in the neighborhood of $2,000, is to be built at Lavinia soon by Mrs. Mary Roote, superintendent of one of the Fargo public schools, according to a statement made by A. P. Chandler of Fargo this morning. Mrs. Roote visited at the Chandler home at Lavinia last summer and liked Lake Bemidji so well that she has decided to build here. The construction of the house will be commenced next week, Cummers Moves Jewelry Store. C. L. Cummers, who conducted a jewelry establishment in Hanson's drug store, has secured new quarters in the office formerly occupied by Phibbs & Klein in the Markham block. The growth in business of both the drug store and the jewelry establishment necessitated the change. MINNESOTA HEADS THE PUBLICITY PROGESSION '$400,000 Worth of Advertising Bene- fit from Conservation Meeting Last March. Throughout. the 'length and breadth of the United States the newspaper press has given Minne- sota an enormous. volume of the most valuable advertising in the publication of unusually thorough 11052, will hold a regular Vmeetinz reports of the recent. conservation i congreas. e various .addresses on agricultural topics' were fully reported in the important daily newspapers of the United States and Canada and the agricultural press is especially liberal in the space devoted to Minnesota’s agricultural development. * Texas joins the pro- cession of states following Minne- sota’s Jead and has a conservation congress now in session, planned along the line of facts and informa- tion secured from officers of the Minnesota congress. Experts are figuring on the value of the advertising given Minnesota through the holding of the congress, but are unable yet to make an exact report, although they state that there is no question but that to buy an equivalent amount of advertising space in which to set forth Minne- sota’s opportunities and attractions would have cost the $400,000. The official delegate. attendance at the congress was 4,163, The scretary’s statistical report is nearing com- pletion and the publication of the proceedings, containing 200,000 words, is already under way. BUILDS A $300 CHIGKEN HOUSE AGROSS THE LAKE A. P. Chandler of Fargo Will Conduct Model Poultry Farm at His Summer Home. A thoroughbred chicken farm, which inclades a $300 chicken house has been established on the shore of Lake Bemidji by A. P. Chandler of Fargo, N. D., who has a fine summer home at Lavinia, abross the lake from this city. Mr. Chandler will experiment with 500 chickens between now and Nov. 15. Mr. Chandler’s chicken house is a facsimile of the one on the North Dakota state agricultural farm near Fargo, only -on a _smaller scale. One of the professors from the North Dakota college declared while visit- ing the Chandler summer home last summer, that this section of the country is ideal for poultry raising. The woods protect the chicks from high winds and the southeast exposure at that end of Lake . Bemidji is ideal for poultry cultivation. The Fargo man had intended to experiment with his thorougbred white Brahmens from Mar. 15 to Now. 15, but the chickens have been delayed on their way from Lincoln, Neb,, and will not be here until the last of this week. Mr. Chandler has received 300 apple trees and will plant them on a 40-acre tract near the Oak Grove summer resort. The forty has 500 feet of lake frontage and slopes to- wards the south. MEETING OF LIVE STOCK - ASSOCIATION TO BE NOV. 15 Meeting Will Be Held At the Stockyards of South: St. Paul November 15th to 18th.—Many Farmers from This Section Planning to Attend. The Fourth Annual Live Stock show of the Northwhstern Live Stock association will be held at the St. Paul Union Stockyards at South St. Paul, Minnesota November 15 to 18, inclusive, 1910, This show is planned without classes for breediug animals and is designed to aid the small feeder and farmer in obtaining knowledge as to what constitutes the best types of animals for market purposes. Cattle, sheep and swine are arranged under the two main divis- sions: 1st Pure Bred. 2nd Grades and Cross Breds. This avoids multiplicity of classes by bringing together all the pure breds in the classes for pure breds, and all the grades and cross breds in the classes for the grades and cross breds, the champions for each class competing for the Grand Championship. The premium list contains liberal cash prizes from the Association, and some attractive trophy cups and special prizes from others. A special prize is offered this year for amateur exhibitors who have never been in a show with their live stock. Excellent quarters have been pro- vided for the care of all animals sent to the show, and special features in the way of lectures and demonstrations by leading authori- - ‘Margaret Sehroeder Buried. ~ Margaret Schroeder, the 19-months- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Schroeder, was buried in Greenwood cemetery yesterday afternoon, the interment being preceded by services held at the home. Rev. C. E. White, pastor of the M. E. church, had charge of the services and spoke cheering wards to the bereaved parents who had been suddenly deprived of the pet of the household. The floral offerings were beautiful and indicative of the pure, sweet little life that had been taken to Him who said “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Solemn services were also held at the grave. Loving hands tenderly laid the little form to rest, the sembre sky and rustling of the ties on Animal Husbandry will be offered for the instruction of those who may attend the show. One excellent feature of this show is found in the system of having the judges give their reasons for placing animals and awarding prizes. These little lectures by the judges are full of valuable information for the exhibitor and farmer, and it is in- formation that is rarely obtained at any show. The farmers and feeders of the Northwest can well afford to fit animals for this show, and the ex- perience of those who have been exhibitors in the past showsa very handsome net profit as the prices at which the stock has sold, and the cash prizes won, make excellent returns for the feed consumed in fit- ting the animals for the show, in spite of the fact that ever since the show was started the price of feed has been high. It is not necessary for a farmer to be a professional exhibitor in order to win money at this show, and this opportunity for farmers and feeders to increase the knowledge of what is necessary to make good market types of animals should not be over- looked. The premium list and anything concerning the show may be had by persons addressing the Northwestern Live Stock Association at South St. Paul, Minnesota. fallen leaves being in true accord with the solemn silence. Yet above all ‘came the comforting thought that the gentle child was spared earth’s sorrows, that her memory but forms another cord to draw her loved ones to the brighter home beyond. Death is a hard master. He would take from us our brightest and. best, but he cannot even mar memory. It will serve as a balm to our wounded hearts. Robins Baby Laid Away. The funeral of the 2-year-old son of Mrs. W. A. Robins, who died of measles a few days ago, was held yesterday from the home. Rev. H. R. McKee, pastor of the Baptist church, conducted the services, interment being made at Greenwood cemetery. : OU and your friends are cordially invifed to visit our stfore=on DEMONSTRATION DAY Saturday, April 23 We have just received a large assortment 'of In-er-seal Trade Mark Package Goods from the NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Who will send a representative to our store Saturday to demonstrate the cleanliness, goodness, crispness and su- perior qualify of these goods and you will have an opportun- ity of sampling new products.
