SCHROEDER ANNOUNGED FOR FALL PRIMARIES Is a Candidate For Re-nomination For County Commissioner of First District. W. G. Schroeder, county commis- sioner from the first district, has again announced himself for the republican nomination a* the prim- aries in September. Mr. Schroeder is thirty eight years of age and was one of the first residents in the city of Bemidji. He has lived here fif- teen years and has been in the mercantile business about that length of time. There is hardly a farmer that comes to Bemidji who does not know W. G. Schroeder; neither is there a farmer who does not know him as a straight-forward business man. Mr. Schroeder built the first brick, two story building in Bemidji, now known as the Security State Bank Building. He was a promoter of the water power now owned by the Warfield Electric company and was its first president. The firm at that time was known as the Beltrami Electric Light and Power company. While he has been county com- missioner, he has given his time and attention to the matters of import- ance concerning the county and should receive the support of the voters in his district. No opposition to Mr, Schroeder has as yet developed and many of his friends believe he will have the field entirely to himself. He is one of the iarge tax payers of the county, his tax being over $650 yearly. During his term of office he has given much time to the building up of the surrounding country and is a strong advocate of good roads. The district has been well represented and will doubtless profit by his continued service. The farming community in this district is fast becoming one of the leading farming communities of this north country. There are many farms here that would make south- ern Minnesota farmers envious. The country here is new and as the farms are being brought into condition they become modern farms right at the start. Mr. Schroeder, in company with a representative of this paper and a representative of the Hakkerup Studio, took a recent drive into the country with a view of securing . photographs of present crops. A great many interesting views were taken of Mr. Schroeder’s farm. He is making out of cut over lands a farm that in five years from today will be second to none in the state. The crops on his farm today show very little signs of the general drought experienced throughout this -entire northwest. Sugar beets, potatoes, corn, alfalfa, clover and garden truck all appear in splendid This shows that where the soil in this community is given proper cultivation, dry wheather has little effect on 1ts production. Every farm, besides having good productive soil when properly culti- vated, has on it an ideal building spot. Schroeder’s farm is in this respect not excepted. The house stands in the center of a cluster of trees, making it cool and cozy for living quarters. Several hundred feet from the house is built one -of the most modern barns in the state. A silo that holds 200 tons of fodder built in a most modern manner stands just at the end of the barn. Views have been taken of all the farm buildings, some of which will be reproduced in a latter edition of the Pioneer. Mr. Schroeder is giving the sub- — ject of modern farming and dairying much study and residents of this as well as otber counties, will profit by visiting Schroeder’s farm. It lies about four miles west of Bemidji. Mr. Schroeder is a quiet. unassuming fellow and deserves much credit for taking the interest in city, country and farming affairs that he does. HORSES KILLED BY BEES Ran Away and Turned Over Three Hives. H. B. Hogenson, mail carrier on R D. No. 2, out of Fertile, lost a valuable team Tuesday in a peculiar way. While hitching up preparatory to getting out over his route the team became fright- ened at something and broke loose from their away. fastenings, running The horses ran into three hives of bees belonging to C. H. Carlson, tip- ping [them over and the bees lit on the poor dumb brutes by the thous- ands, and revenge. The horses became maddened by the stings of the bees, broke loose from one another, and one of them ran through a barbed wire fence and rol- led down the steep railroad embank- ment near Mr. Carlson’s place. Both died several hours later. sought More Band Dances. Next Wednesday night, the regular dances will be given by the Bemidii band will be resumed. The dances this year will be given in the new band headquarters and the proceeds the treasury to pay in the city hall will be put in the balance on the new uniforms. Music for the dances will be furnished by Masten’s seven piece orchestra. GRY AND LAUGH AT THE MAJESTIG BILL TONIGHT Manager Woodmansee, of the Majestic Theatre, announces a new bill which will be produced tonight for the first time. The feature film in entitled “The Little Fiddler.” It is a pathetic story of a small violin player who meets with about every kind of adversity. This film is said to have caused an Indian to cry when he saw it in Duluth last week. No. 2 is called “A Honeymoon for Three.” It is a comedy film and is designed to make you laugh as much as No. 1 will make you cry. The illustrated song tonight is “The Garden of Roses” and will be sung as a duet by Miss Lillian Woodman- see and C. J. Woodmansee. This is the first time that this popular song has ever been sung here with pic- tures. i BIRTHS AND DEATHS | Died—Henry Knopke at Fon Du Lac, Wisconsin, Friday morning. The deceased was a brother of Charles Knopke, of Bemidji, and Miss Amelia Knopke, of Minneapolis.

PLAINTIFF RESTS CASE Testimony All in and Defendants Call Witnesses—Goes to Jury Soon. Bagley, August 20—(Special to the Pioreer)—Plaintiff’s testimony has been finished in the Warren- Kolb case and the plaintiff has rested. Today, the defendants are examining witnesses and the case is expected to go to the jury in a day or two. In the testimony taken yesterday, Charles Gardner, a representative of the Grand Forks Lumber company, stated that he bad beard Mr. Kolb say that he did not consider Mr. Warren fit to oversee a logging job. Miss Edna Geer testified that she was one of the operators of the Bagley exchange for about two years and that the receipts of the exchange ran from $75 to $100 per month when all parties paid, but that there were many delinquincies in pay- ment because of poor service. Al Kaiser testified that he had charge of the plant for about two years as trustee and that the ex- penditures were slightly in excess of the receipts. Gus Beaulieau, president of the Chippewa State bank at White Earth, testified that he knew several ¢ cappers " whose business it was to take mix- ed bloods and Indians to Kolb’s bank at Omegato do business. Louise O." Warren, wife of the plaiintiff, introduced some conflict- ing testimony as to the property that the detendent had claimed that she owned and against]which he had held a mortgage stating that she had never owned any such property in the vicinity men- tioned by the defendent. Eugene Warren, the plaintiff, was called | to the stand but his testimony did not materially vary from that which he gave originally. A few minor details were brought out, The defense called Henry Huse- by who testified that the original plant bad been constructed in 1902, He was not cross examined. W, B, Carman, of Detroit, testified that the plant should have been worth $2500 at the time it was sold, al- though he had never seen it. After cross examination, his testimony was badly shaken and was not worth much. Louis Uran and William Uran testified as to the Cement stock com- pany that was organized in which both parties to the action held stock. Their testimony was of a general knowledge of the organization of the cement company and the only new point brought out was that Warren had asked him for an option on his stock. BAPTIST GHURCH PLANS EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS Expects to Raise Church Five Feet and Put in Modern Hot Air Plant. Extensive improvements are be- ing planned for the Baptist church and will result in its practically being rebuilt, Two committees have been appointed to take charge of the work and the contract will probably be let in a week or two. It is planned to raise the church five feet and excavate under the whole building. A goed heating plant'with the hot air system will be nstalled and part of the space downstairs devoted school purposes. to Sunday Rooms will also be provided for a kitchen for the ladies so that in the future cook- ing utensils can be kept handy, The church has been handicapped for some time on account of lack of room to house the Sunday school membership. During this summer, several of the classes have been held outside on the lawn. It is hoped to have the excavating finished before the weather gets too cold for outdoor work. The committee appointed, which have charge of the work with Rever- end McKee and George Smith, are finance, Charles Cummer, Sybil Ben- ner, Georgia Smith; building, Glenn Martin, Frank Taber, H. E. Rice, S. E. Gregg, W. A. Hovey. FARMERS MEET AT FARRIS To be Addressed by Professor Bugbee on August 29. Cass Lake, August 20—(Special to the Pioneer)—Prof.L, H. Bug- bee, of Wrenshall, president of the Producers Cooperative association will hold a meeting at Ferris, five miles west of Cass Lake on Mon- day, August 29, to discuss the ad- vantages of cooperation in market- ing and the methods that are open to the farmers and settlers for im- proving their conditions by ¢ get- ting together.” Mr. Bugbee is .holding a series of meetings on cooperative throughout the north- ern part of the state, having been appointed by the State University through its extension department, The state is under considerable expense in holding these meetings and it is hoped that the farmers and |’ farmer’s clubs will be just as much concerned to make the meetingsa complete success, and give a fresh impetus to the wonderful cooperative movement among the farmers in Minnesota.

The meeting was well attended by both Commercial club men and farmers, This is the first market day that Bemidji has ever held. It was ad- vertised for three days and the Com- mercial club feels that it was so suc- cessful that one should be held every month.

Of Gleasons and Houlihan, a Du- luth paper says,“One of the best numbers of the bill is the clever and at times remarkable dancing of John and Bertha Gleason and Fred Houli- han. This trio of dainty and skillful steppers do some dancing specialties that have never been seen in this city before. Especially the work of Miss Gleason, who claims the title of .champion dancer of the world, remarkable.
