Bemidji butter tests with the best butter made in this section of the country. It was entered in the six months education contest instituted by the state dairy and food commis- sion and scored 90%. There were 320 entries and 215 scored ninety, while 105 did not reach that mark. The farmers are becoming fast friends of the local institution and are becoming aware of the advantages of bringing their cream to this mar- ket. The creamery churns about 1,300 pounds of butter each week, most of which is being disposed of locally. Mr. Stiles said today: “Too many farmers throughout the country do not know exactly what their cows are earning them ,and the or does not earn its baard the bettes The Nllowh:g may_be of material benefit: In an address, Professor Hugh G. Van Pelt, of Waterloo, Iowa, said, “In too many instances, the pro- ducer of milk and butter fat has overlooked the importance of reduc- ing his operations to a strictly busi- ness basis. This is demonstrated by the fact that so often he refuses to apply busines principle and even holds them up to scorn as being theo- retical, scientific and impractical. He has refused fundamentals which have made millionaires and leaders of men in other lines of industry. The truth of this is evidenced by the fact that of the millions of cows now being milked in the United States only one out of three on the average returns a profit. Therefore, in dealing with this subject of feeding cows for great and economical results, if I can make impressive the fact that real success depends upon reducing the feeding of cows to a basis governed by the in- telligent and thoughtful application of business detail, your time will not have been wasted. As a matter of fact, the farms of the United States are her greatest fac- tories. Every cow is kept there as a machine of cerain capacity and effic- iency, for the purpose of converting raw materials—the grains and grasses which grow in the flelds— intoa finished commodity of com- merce. The value of each machine should be measured by the amount of feed she can consume and convey pro- titally into milk and butter fat. To determine this point it is' necessary for the dairyman to weigh and test the milk at intervals sufficiently close to determine the relative merits of individuals from the production standpoint, and determining the amount and cost of feed she con- sumes, he is prepared to say which is the profitable cow and which is the loafer, provided he has given the an- imals the opportunity for producing their maximum yeild. The fact that two-thirds of the cows being milked are unprofitable, does not indicate that these cows are all poor individ- uals and so poorly bred as to be un- able to yield a profit. Proper feeding alone would suffice to make profitable at least half of the cows that are now showing a loss.” faster they learn that the cow i_lgeslomclals of a hundred or more civic Doctors at Medical Convention.- -Dr. E.

Curist Hovick was tried before Judge Crowell this morning on a charge of intoxication and was fined five dollars or five days in the county jail. He paid the fine and was re- leaged. Hovick was picked up by Ser- geant Bursley while he was attempt- Ing to find his way out of intersec- tion of America avenne and Fourth street. Contractors completed placing the steel door on the new vault in the city hail yesterday and.the place is now 1eady for use. - Papers and all charts and many other valuable be- longings to the city will be hereafter kept in ‘this vault with a full list of Sewerage on Several Streets— Adverties For Bids. Little business of importance was transacted by the council last evening at their regular meeting. Bids were opened for storm sewers Which are are to be paved during the next two weeks. Louis Eckstrum was awarded the bid over Herb Doran, there being only two bids presented. Water pipes and sewerage will also be laid on Bemidji avenue before the paving as that block is-entirely with- out water at the present time. Al- though this may delay the paving for several days it will be much more convenient to do the work now than after the cement is laid. City Engineer Swinson was also instructed to furnish the council an estimate of the cost of grading streets between Mississippi and’ Irvine ave- nuggs but. it is'probable that this work will be delayed for some time as the funds for this purpose are extremely low. Two petitions were presented by residents on Bemidji and Beltrami avenue asking the council for sani- tary sewerage on these avenues above L Bleventh street. “Both petitions were Teranted and bids will be tised for to complete this week. A cigarette license was granted to George Abrahamson, who runs a small confectionery store on Third street. A few other small business matters were discussed including the fire dock, poor farm, cement work, vault in city hall, and many other minor jobs about the city. No action was taken in regard to the gas franchise as no representative was present and the proposition was not mentioned.

These same workmen haveé been making a practice of killing.grouse and partridge and it is believed that the scare caused by the arrests of sev- eral of their crew will put a stop to it .Bailey placed Tony Anderw and John Polus-under arrest and brought them to-Bemidji where they were ar- ranged before Judge Crwell in muni- cipal court this morning. Both plead guilty but the judge after listening:to the story of Polus allowed him to return home with only a promise to behave. in the future. _Andrew appeared to take the mat- ter as a joke, when the interpreter in- formed him that he would have to hand over his last week’s wages, or $10 fine, the expression changed to -one of pain. He stated that he would be satis- fled with garlic and potatoes in the future and would advise his fellow ‘workers along the same lines. ROAD DAY; NOTHING DOING Council Makes No Provision Concern- ing H:ghwny: “Good Roads day was a subject which was entirely forgotten by the city council last evening and from the amount of interest shown about the city it appears that the Automo- bile and Commercial clubs also forgof that today was the good roads day which many local men have been ag- itating for some time past. Several suggestions were made during the past month as to the amount of work to be done and as to who was to do it but that was as far as the matter was_carried. ENFORCING STREET LAWS Team Drivers Obeymg Laws. SEVERAL WARNED LAST TIME Automobiles standing on the wrong side of the street has been a rather seldom sight in Bemidji since the order of Chief Lane several days ago. The Chief and his patrolmen sta- insist that all drivers go along the right hand side of the street and do not_tarn around in the middle of the street. Several drivers have been cautioned several times and will be placed un- der arrest the next time they disobey the. instructions of the. police. “We have so many green drivers here now that we must be extremely careful in enforcing these rules. Acci- dents are bound to occur if we do not. - We do not want to-appear as ‘wanting to make it disagreeable for drivers, but I know they will appreciate the . method- of driving corners square and leaving machines on'the right side of the streets,” was the comment of Chief Lane this morn- ing. Bemidji Baseball Notes. Roscoe Smiley stated to a Pioneer reporter yesterday that he had sev- eral all connections with- the “Big Bemidg” base ball team and had be- comé a member- of the Crookston Lumber company team. Smiley. is a pitcher of no little ability and was the hero of last Sunday’s game. With three men on bases in the latter part of he game and the score 5 to 2 in Akeley’s favor he entered the game and did not allow a mar to make a score the rest of the game. -The lumbermen are working for the city championship and haye de- feated every team in the city with the exception of “Big and Little Bemidg”. These teams will be challenged in the near future and it.is probable that local fans will be treated in the fast gae as the fastest players in the city are members of these teams.. tion themselves_ on the corners and|. nounces that the business men and - [citizens have responded nobly in_the way of raising money for this cele- bration and states that this will be the biggest and best Fourth of July’ celebration, by far ever seen in Be- midji.

A baseball game is being arranged for one or both of the days in which the local team will play some outside nine yet to be arranged. The Bemidji band under the able leadership of Director Remfrey with thirty-five pieces will furnish the music for the two days. Under the supervision of T. A. Mc- Cann the “street sports” will be di- rected along the same lines as last year, which met with the entire ap- proval ofall.
