Some of the things that the conven- tion did are as follows: The state immigration bureau and chier officers are asked to change its present policy to one of co-operation with the commercial clubs and other civic bodies throughout the state. The county commissioners are ask- ed to adopt and publish simplified rules for the carrying out of im- provements under the Elwell good roads law.

One of the most interesting enter- tainments of the University week will bev given Monday evening when mem- | bers of the debating team of the col- | lege will debate on Socialism. These men, there will be two on each side, are among the best at the university | and -havé' ‘made hits“in all towns where the “week” has been held thus far.

Congress is asked, through the Minnesota representatives, to make an appropriation for the drainage of the Chippewa swamp lands.

The management of the Oklahoma Ranch Wild West show, which exhi- bits in Bemidji Friday June 13th at the fair grounds, announces, as an especially-added new. feature, one of the most sensational acts ever pre- sented. Auto Polo, the title of this remarkable act, suggests the charac- ter of the performance, but does not give an adequate idea of its strenu- ousness or the tense excitement it creates. In Auto Polo, four racing ma- -and the United States Geological sur-|chines are utilized—two on each side. vey is recommended. The establishment of a state devel-| opment association, consisting of 'delegates from the Southern Minne- sota, the Western Central and North- ern Minnesota bodies ,is recommend- ed. Officers of the last named are in- structed to open the necessary nego- tiations. For two hours they wrangled over the suggestion of a second state fair for {Northern Minnesota. C. F. Mahnke of Moose Lake, introduced a resolution urging that a fair for the northern half of the state be held in Duluth in the latter part of Septem- ber. He argued that the early date of the big fair at Hamline was unfair to agriculturists in the upper end of the state as their products had not de- veloped sufficiently then. Delegate Hostetter of Duluth ably supported Mr. Mahnke’s contention. It was suggested by Chairman Tur- ritin that a big fair could be heid by having the northern sections of Wis- consin and Michigan joining Minne- sota. This was not acted upon. The Mahnke resolution was finally defeat- ed by a vote of 6 to 4. NOTHING DOING ON HARRIS CASE Supreme Court Decisions of Yestercay Do Not Include It. With the decisions of the state supreme court for the past week made known yesterday nothing was includ- ed concerning the Harris-Moon con- test for register of deeds in this county. It had been expected that the decision would be made public this week. It is probable that it will be rendered next week. Each machine carries a mallet man and a chauffeur. It is the mallet man who strikes the ball and en- deavors to get it over the enemy’s goal, but it is the chauffeur who drives the auto, and who has the re-! sponsibility of keeping out of the way of the other machines. “IS CRADLE OF THE DEVIL” So Refers Honeywell to His Topic “Excuses” Given at Tabernacle Last Evening LAST OF CAMPAIGN TOMORROW Tabernacle Briefs “Excuses—The cradle in which the Devil rocks men and women to sleep.” “You will never understand the Bible until you become a christian.” “Agnostic means in Latin “ignora- mus.” “The smallest thing on God’s earth is the hypocrite in the church; No, there is one smaller.

Silverton is suffering from delusions of the prain and be- lieves himself to be wealthy. He be- lieves that he owns a 100-acre farm on Lyndale avenue, Minneapolis. About four of these acres consists of an orchard. while the rest is used in the raising of wheat. His crop 1is seeded and harvested by one team. He has several houses in Duluth and several thousand dollars in cash.

SCHEME OF PRESIDENT VINCENT Was Inaugurated Year Ago In Order to Bring College and People of State Closer Together. FOR BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE Dr. Newkirk Will Give Talk on Art of Flying Thursday Evening— New Bulletins. Day after. tomorrow University week will begin in Bemidji. Pro- grams will be rendered each after-- noon and evening throughout the en- tire week. All entertainments will be given in the auditorium of the high school' with the exception of those of Tuesday and Friday eveninga which will be staged in the Armory. It might be well for the public to. remember that this is an educational movement inaugurated by President Vincent, of the state university, a year ago. Its chief purpose is to bring the people of the state and the edlu':ifional institution as close to- geiher as possible. .

He is always prying around to find' 'soniething just a little out of the ord- inary or queer, Last year he hit upon the idea of a practical demonstration of the gyroscope. This was quite a rovelty to most people, and they en~ joyed 1t; o Dr. Newkirk has repaire& his apparatus and will be ready to re- peat ihe gyroscope “stunt” in the new towne this year. ‘When he returns to any of the same towns visited last year, he will carry a moving picture apparatus and give a lccture on the “Art of Flying.” Mov- ing pictures are becoming so com- mon that people who don’t know Dr. Newkirk will probably expect his per- formance to be stupid, but he wilt happily disappoint them. There is a lot to be learned even about things that the average man things he un- derstanéds pretty well. The Business: Men will be ad- dressed at their luncheon by Dr. Ray- rond V. Phelan, whose specialty is Scecial Economics. He is prepared to discuss the labor problem under the title of the Industrial Struggle, or to. present another aspect of it as Busi- ness and Health. Dr. Phelan is a capable speaker. ! The “week” is in no sense intended for the bene-: fit of any committee, organisa- tion or class. . It comes to a city to get in touch with all classes of peo- pie. Remember that the afternoom: sessions are free to everybody wheth- r they hold a season ticket or not, and the afternoon meetings réally repre- sent the educational feature of the course. The evening entertainments have been made so reasonable in price as to be within the reach of every' citizen. « To Drop Regular Lake Schedule. Because of the small amount of traffic this year the “City of Bem- idji” will not be run on, a regular- schedule and 1lake excursionists will be forced to rent the boat in ad- vance. If the number of excursion- ists increase it is probable that a schedule will again be resumed. The one o’clock schedule and Sunday trips will be continued.
