THE BEMIDJ1 DAILY PIONEE VOLUME 10. NUMBER 74. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1912. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. BIBLE STUDENTS TAKE MANY NOTES Are Preparing to Keep Key Thoughts In a Tangible Form for Fu- ture Reference, THE KINGDOM IS CERTAIN Dr. Ottman Defends Messengers of Christ Saying Did Not Break the Mosaic Law. “LIFE'S SUPREME CHANCE” Dr. Luccock Tuesday Evening Told of How Its Challenge May Be Met In Three Ways. Interest in the sessions of the Be- midji Bible conference, as evidenced by the regularity of a full attend- ance, continues in spite of the hot weather. The evening meetings es- pecially are well attended and the audiences follow the speakers closely. Many of the visitors are taking lengthy notes of the addresses in or- der to preserve the key thoughts in a tangible form. At 3 p. m. Tuesday afternoon, Dr. Ford C. Ottman continued his dis- cussion of “Imperalism and Christ” taking the “Certainty of the Glory of the Kingdom of Zion™ as his key sen- tence. He said that the King hav- ing manifested himself as King, sent| out his messengers. Dr. Ottman defended the criticism of the messengers from those who charged them with a breach of the Mosaic law. The breach is said to have occurred when they ate of the grain and they passed through the fields. Dr. Ottman claimed that the Jews in rejecting Christ put them- selves outside of the covenant rela- tionship with God; that Christ was the author of law and as such could suspend its operation; and that the act was more a violation of tradi- tion than of Mosaic law. Using the seven parables from the fifteenth chapter of Matthew, Dr Ottman described the seven phases of the Kingdom. He elaborated by tell- ing of conditions that should obtain until the return of the King. In the evening, Dr. Luccock did not deliver an address on the “Biblz| Philosophy of Pleasure,” postponing| that to a later date, but took as hig subject “The Challenge of Life’s Su- preme Chance.” Dr. Luccock took three men as examples of the differ- ent ways in which this chance may be met. Dr. Luccock’s first example was Naaman, a general of the Old Testa- ment. He was told by the prophet that he could cure his leprosy by bathing in the Jordan. He went away in a rage resenting something which looked to him as irrelevant, inadequate and absurd. But he later changed his mind, returned and was healed. The rich young ruler was used as an example of the man who meets life's supreme chance with a sorrow- ful mien. His love of riches was too great and he went away sorrowful instead of in a rage as was the case with Naaman. In contrast with the first two, the Etheopian eunuch gladly received - the invitation ex- tended to him by Phillip and accept- ed it at once. Dr. Luccock said that the Etheopian was a man of clear vision and showed his promptness and good business qualities by being baptised at once. Wednesday morning, Dr. Ottmau said that the Messianic hope had ex- pired with the death of Jesus Christ. Popularly, a suffering sovereign was | inconceivable. He contrasted the| suffering of the Messiah and his later advent of glory with two mouutain peaks saying that the people of today live between the two extremes. “Christ is now the glorified man. He will never come as he did before. If the Jews will accept Christ, he will come again and sit on their throne."” Dr. Luccock Wednesday morning spoke on “Christ the Criticized.” He said that all of Christ’s servants were criticised and that the home crici- cism heaped upon a minister was a great force for his improvement. “Criticism is the pruning knife which cuts out things nonessential, super- fluous, and hindering. It is also a grafting knife, adding improve- ment.” Dr. Ottman will deliver an address this evening at 8 p. m. The program for the following days is as follows: —cmrE e e Tt ithem in captivity in the future. DR. AUSTIN FLINT. Eminent Alienist Who Testi- fied Adversely to Harry Thaw. WILSON BABY DEAD. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Firman A. Wilson which was born Tuesday morning, died Wednes- day morning at 4 o’clock. Interment was made this afternoon at Green- wood cemetery.

Perch minnows kept for bait by proprietors of summer resorts consti- tute a violation of the state game and fish laws. Resort keepers have been mnotified that any cases where perch minnows are caught and put in reservoirs to be sold to fishermen for bait will be prosecuted. The Itasca county game warden has been spending several days in the vicinity of Swan Lake and has cautioned hotel proprietors there and members of the Hibbing summer col- ony against keeping perch minnows. The section of the law held to be violated is that pertaining to taking undersized game fish. The warden liberated a large quantity of merch minnows found at Swan Lake, and has notified all the people there against catching them or keeping HORNET. Mrs. Baldwin, a cousin of Mrs. Herman Thoms, arrived from lowa on Saturday to visit at the home of Herman Thoms. The annual school meeting was held Saturday evening in the Murray school.

Minneapolis, July 24.—Healy C. Akeley, millionaire Ilumberman of Minneapolis, who has been seriously ill in his apartments at the Leaming- ton hotel for some time is reported as continuing in the same condition with little variation. Mr. Akeley is president of the H. C. Akeley Lumber company and vice president of the Itasca Lumber company. He is sev- enty-seven years old. It is reported that Mr. Akeley’s illness is not acute and that there has been little change for either the better or worse in ten days. Mr. Akeley last fall decided to give up his home in Minneapolis and went to California where he was married for the third time. When his health began to fail he returned to this city. The city of Akeley is nam- ed for him. He is also connected with the Red River Lumber company. THE CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERY. Don’t ship your cream, farmer, or churn it at home in the belief that it will pay you better than taking it to the creamery. There is nothing that will pay you better than the co-op- erative creamery in your neighbor- hood. There are nearly a thousand co- operative creameries in Minneosta. ‘Why are there so many, if they are not the best way for the farmer to manufacture and sell his butter? Where the first built creameries are becoming old and worn out, you will fiund the farmers building new ones, some of them costing as high as $10.000. They build again because they have paid, and farmer, your co- operative creamery will pay, too, if every farmer does the square thing by it. A creamery can succeed where there are 400 or more cows, if all the farmers will take their cream there. Co-operation means working together for the good of all. A co- operative creamery cannot do its best when a number of farmers are work- ing against it, and if you are not taking your cream there you are against it. “He who is not with me is against me.” Don’t think the big company in the city that wants you to ship cream will pay you better. They may for a while in order to get you away from the local creamery. The state has recently arrested the pro- prietors of a big creamery for un- fair competition. They were paying less than cream was worth to the far- mers in one community where there was no creamery, and paying more than cream was worth in another community where the farmers had a creamery. They were stealing from one farmer to fool another. Don’t think you can make more by churning at home and selling the butter. When you do that, suppose all farmers would do the same. How much could you get for your butter when every other farmer would be in competition with you? Have you ever seen butter stacked up in the store and the merchant not know- ing what to do with it? You are do- ing your best to bring back this con- dition when you pull away from the creamery and churn at home. Don’t think the co-operative cream- ery is cheating you. They have no object in cheating. The officers are anxious for the creamery to succeed and are generally doing their best. They try to get the best butter mak- er possible. If you think anything is wrong don’t quit. but notify the sec- retary of the creamery. Mistakes are apt to occur. You are just as apt to make a mistake in your figuring as the creamery is. If the creamery has made a mistake the officers will cor- rect it. A successful co-operative creamery |, will increase the valuation of your|; It will help you in many ways | that you may not see now. Be a good |} farm. soldier and get into the battle and fight it out. Every co-operative creamery has had the same trouble on the start and there would not be af' creamery in the state today if every man quit when he thought some- thing was wrong. Help to make things right. = R The timbered section of Northern Minnesota will be the greatest dairy section of Minnesota. Hundreds of creameries will be built within the next ten years if the farmers work together in co-operation. If they don’t their children will have to build the creameries, but it is a fine thing for a young man to look back and be able to say, “My father help- ed to lay the corner stone of this creamery. He was a leader in co- operation and made farming such that I am glad to follow his calling.” There are young men who say, “Well, the old man killed mother with work and drove us all off the farm as soon as we could get away. He was bound to stick to his own way of doing things.” The creamery is the right way of dairying. 5 ° A J. McGUIRE, Grand Rapids, Minn.

Gray, President of G. N. Writes that $40,000 Structure Will Be Built. BASED ON POPULATION OF 20,000 Specifications Call for Station Which Is of Type Usually Erected in Much Larger City. GROUNDS T0 BE BEAUTIFIED Approaches to Be Laid Out With Flower Gardens and Small Tri- agle Park. According to a letter received to- day by H. C. Baer, secretary of the Commercial club, work on the Great Northern depot will be delayed no longer and the structural work start- ed within a short time. The letter was from Carl R. Gray, the new pres- ident of the Great Northern railway. When J. J. Hill was here in the spring, he promised Bemidji a depot of which it could be justly proud and the Great Northern architects at once started work on the plans and specifications. When finished, these were looked over by several Bemidji business men and found acceptable in every respect. The plans called for a $40,000 structure. It was learned a few weeks ago that the Great Northern considered the plans as calling for too expensive a depot and ordered new ones drawn on a basis that would materially less- en the cost. The matter was at oncs taker-up with the higher officials with the result that President Gray writes the original plans will stand Men whno have seen the plans say that they call for a depot the size customarily built in a town of 20,- 000—called Permanent Type A—and it is taken as an indication of the faith of the Great Northern in Be- midji’ future. The plans call for a depot better than that at Fargo, a city much in advance of Bemidji at the present time. For three years Bemidji men have been urging the Great Northern to build a depot to replace the frame building put here when the town was a lumberjack trading post. These men had been put off from time to time, but never impatient, kept work- ing steadily to attain their object. The result was that when Mr. Hill was here in the spring he saw easily that the present depot is wholly in- adequate. He also became impressed with the fact that the prosperity of Bemidji was based on substantial in- dustries and promised a depot which would not only handle the present traffic and that which will come but one to which the city may point with pride. Contrary to the first impression, Minnesota avenue is not to bs straightened. Instead, the present curve is to be left but a new ap- proach built to the depot. In the center of the street there will be a small triangle which will be beauti- fied with flower gardens and it is said the Great Northern will improve the depot yards as they are in St. Cloud. These improvements will give visitors and through passengers a favorable first impression of Bemid- it It was rumored this morning that the Soo and Minnesota and Interna- tional lines are to pave the block be- tween Beltrami and Minnesota av- enues along the right of way. If this is done, it will complete the paving of all cross streets from the depots to Fifth. SHOW SOUTH POLE PICTURES. Bemidji people will have an op- portunity to see motion pictures ta- ken in the antartice regions Thurs- day and Friday of this week at the Majestic.

Much in- terest was manifested all over the world in Captain Scott’s expedition and the pictureg are the first of their kind ever to be shown. Michigan newspapers are with few exceptions favorable to equal suf- frage. The Press Chairman of the Michigan Equal Suffrage association reports that 185 newspapers are printing suffrage items regularly, in addition to many splendid editorials. 3 | | 3 i
