LUMBERMEN Will Be for Good Sized Purse While on Following Day “Little Be- midg” Will Be Opponents, HAVE BIG AUTOMOBILE PARADE Machines Will Be Decorated in Bright Colors and Will Be One of Biggest Parades Ever Held Here, Completing plans for the Fourth of July ceiebration by adding a water bageball game - between the Hotel rkham team and a team of city Ytars the committee on sports will naw- work to perfect the arrange- ments so that the two days celebra- " tion will prove to be the biggest and best. ever held in Bemidji. Comencing at nine o’clock, July 4, and lasting until six o’clock July 5, there will not be a dull moment and there will be something doing every minute. On the morning of the Fourth the Bemidji band will be on hand bright and early and furnish the kind of music which will put the people in the necessary spirit of the day. Aft- er one hour of music and joviality a big auto- parade will be held with many floats, decorated for the occas- ion and which will undoubtedly prove the biggest and best ever held in Bemidji. After the big parade and numerous minor attractions the attention of the crowds will be called to the City park where the Declaration of Independ- ence will be read and speeches will be made by prominent.speakers. The local band will start the after- noon’s celebrities and followed by. the crowd will march to the baseball park where the “Big Bemidg” base- ball team will clash with the Crook- ston Lumber company team for the championship of the city. Both teams are working -hard for this honor and are anxious to meet and decide which is the better team. Con- siderable rivalry was added when Smiley of the “Big Bemidg” team severed his connection with that team and joined the lumber team. He will twirl for the lumber men on the Fourth. McKeig will probably shoot the twisters for “Big Bemidg” with Boscoe at the receiving end. This battery is exceptionally strong. A purse of seventy-five dollars has been collected for the stakes to be played for, the winner to receive sixty per- cent and the loser forty. Both teams have commenced planning as to what purpose they will use the sixty per gent which means that each are plan- ning on winning. Local fans. have taken a strong interest in this game as there are many supporters to each team and many side bets will prob- ‘ably be put up. The entire mill crews are planning to attend the game and root for their team. which they de- clare is a sure winmer. Immediately after the ball game several auto races will be held be- . tween the fastest drivers of the city, including Chad Jewett and John Mo- berg. A ladies race will also be staged and possibly Jewett will drive his Ford in an endeavor to break the - present track record which he now holds. At five p. m. a special attraction will be-staged. After rising several hundred feet into the air the Belmont sisters will make a thrilling para- chute jump which will excell any daring feature ever scheduled for a local celebration. This will com- plete the afternoon performances and the crowds will be allowed to rest un- ti1.7:30 when the band will strike up a lively tune while the Hotel Mark- ham water baseball team clashes with a team -comprised of city stars. Just who will umpire has not been deter- mined as yet but the managers of each team will probably get togeth- er some time this week and select some good judge who will not favor either team. After the game several “River Pigs” will do a log rolling stunt, after which the band will con- tinue its program which will'complete the day’s -entertainment. The Saturday Program. At 9 a. m. Saturday morning the Bemidji band will again start the day’s program and will continue fur- | nishing selections throughout the en- tire morning while out of door sports ~of every kind will be staged on the ‘main streets of the city. These sports -wiil take up the entire morning and IN° THE tro Corporation, New York. sent it spinning across the green. ball. = will be followed by a seécond band concert on the street corners. The ““Big Bemidg” team will play their second game for the same stakes as on the Fourth with the “Little Be- midg” team. The junior team is also after the loeal champlonship “and| have already defeated the lumber team-and-are now.more than anx- ious to take the senior team. Out of six games played on foreign diam- onds this fast team has won four which is an excellent showing. Immediately after the game several horse races will be pulled off with the fastest animals in the city at the rope. Another balloon ascension will be made, after the races which will complete the day’s celebrations.

Moreover he has declared that if you pass all these qualifieations and want the job, he will give you as fine an opportunity to see the' world as you could get anywhere;-on board a float- ing home that was buil for from $5,- 000,000 ot $20,000,000.: Secretary Daniels has * some ad- vanced views regarding the way the navy of the United States ought to be run, and he is especially “strong’” for reforms that will attract and-hold the best class of men and boys the country can provide for the nayy. He believes the navy should bé made attractive to the youdng man, the college graduate, the school boy and to every man and boy.who comes up: to the physical qualifications men- tioned. Perhaps the most radical of the reforms Secrdtary Danlels would like to see effecfed. is his pet plan - to, change -the ment so that it would e possible for'| college men to accpt the hospitality of the navy and cruise as man-o’- wars-man during the vacations. He would have it so that -college ~men who have a leaning for travel during their vacations, could take such cruises and acquaint themselves with the duties of ‘a sailor. Secretary Daniels, explaining his project today, declared _he believés every young man should have a “working knowledge of: the navy. If -this were the :case, he said, .the rfank and file of the navy would- be raised even higher than it is now. The secretary’s plan is virtually-the creation of a volunteer citizen re- gerve. He would have conditions such -that in case of necessity there would be thousands of young men as useful as they were willing to go be- hind - the big guns and-uphold the prestige of the United States navy. Although - Secretary Daniels is an avowed “man of peace”, he believes in maintaining a high degree of prepar- edness, and it is his aim to.educate the young men 8o that the navy can be placed on a war footing at very short - niotice. At the present time, figures at the navy department show today, the navy is approximately 4,500 men short of the authorized ‘enlistment number. = Under the Daniels-regime every effort' will be made to fill these vacancies with enlisted men, as well as to qunli{y as many more as pos- sible who are now in civilian lite, for possible emergency work. This is one of the reasons for the attractive cruise which has been mapped out for the Atlantic fleet this year, The coming cruise will be -in the Mediterranean where every port of moment will be touched and the sailors given ample opportunity to spend many hours on shore. Similar cruiges are’today being mapped out for each succeeding year while Sec- retary Daniels is at the head of the ravy department there will be no fear he declares, of Jack Tar having - Pretty Tough On The Amstnc Temperament q Ciifl*liiiliilfiii*ikiifiil*i*&l*i’l’ x, -CANAL CHIEF WHO RUMOR SAYS WILL RETIRE fi!li#!*ti{liiili#il*iifliifiiiiitkiil Copyright by International News Service; supplied by New Process Electro Corporation, New York.

ABOUT THAT AUTO TRIP Boys Who Took Part in Show Appear to Have Been Forgotten- Soon after the minstrel show which was staged, after several weeks of hard and constant work, for the pur- pose of gaining money to:be used in the building of the road around the lake, the boys who took part were promised some kind of a “treat” showing the appreciation which the citizens of the city held for their en- deavors. A trip to Itasca Park in au- tomobiles was suggested and several owners of machines were anxious to donate them in order to furnish en- tertainment for the boys. Since then the matter appears to have beem drupped The boys worked hard and as ‘yet .have hardly been thanked for their endeavors, which resulted in several hundred dollars being secur- ed for the road. While the boys have not made any kick they would ap- preciate any trip, no matter whether short or long that the owners of cars would givs them. Just Out; In Again, John Milafskil was tried in Muni- cipal court this morning on a charge of - intoxication to ‘which he plead guilty. He was fined five dollars or five days after which he was to leave town. The. fine was paid and to- gether with a few pals he commenced his journey towards the city limits. Milafski has just finished a thirty day sentence for selling liquor to the In- dians and has been before the court three times in the past two-months. SUMMER SCHOOL TO OPEN Enrollment to Begin a Week From Today—Purpose to Inspire Bet- ter Work Among Teachers. TUITION = ABSOLUTELY FREE Enroliment- for the six-weeks.ses-. sion of the state training school for teachers will begin at the high school building on next Wednesday morning. Through the courses offered this school will aim to meet the needs and desires of the teachers in this part of the state in giving those in attend- ance an adequate knowledge of the subjects taught with practicla meth- ods of applying such in rural schools. The chrief purpaseiof the school will be not alone to acquire information but to encourage and inspire as well as enable the individual teacher to do more practical up-to-date work both in her school and the community. Courses of study offered will in- clude a review of the - common branches and a careful study of such of the advanced subjects as may be required in securing a first grade cer- tificate. Information has been received that in addition to algebra and physics, plane geometry will be required for a first grade certificate hereafter and for which . no substitute can be made. X No fee or tuition will be charged. The state bears the expense of the instructors, making the school free to those who desire to take advan- tage of the opportunity thus afford- ed for self-improvement.

By “HOP“ SURPLUS FROM UNIVERSITY WEEK After All Expenses are Paid Small Amount is Left Over—Will Be Placed in “Week” Fund. COMMITTEE MET YESTERDAY All Business Connected- .with Last Week’s Educational Session’Clear- “ed Up and Bills Paid. _ $12 LEFT FROM MONEY TAKEN IN Bemidji Will Endeavor to Again Land University Week Next Year . Says Superintendent Dyer All expenses paid and money in the bank is the condition of the fin- " ances of University week which; was~ brought to a close last Saturday eve- ning. At a meeting’ of the University week committee held yesterday aft- ernoon all bills were allowed and ord- ered paid. This committee consisted of W. P. Dyer, chairman, E. H, Denu, F. A. Wilson and Mesdames Battles and Kenfield. The conclusion of the meeting showed that the financial end of the week was a success, there being $12 left over after all bills and expenses, including the $300 guarantee had been paid. A report which will be filed soon by Chairman Dyer will show that about $360 was taken in through the sale of season tickets, and that the money taken in at the door at the evening entertainments brought the total up to $440. The heaviest part of the expense was the rent of the Armory on two occasions, draying chairs from city hall and presbyterian church, adver- tising and two business men lunch- eons which' did not pay for them- selves by the sma]l chargé of'25 cents per plate. The money left over will be placed in a University week fund which will be xept simply as a basis to work on next year. Mr. Dyer had expected to have a report ready for publication today, but was called to St. Cloud this morn- ing and was unable to do so. University week was a success this year in Bemidji and all University professors and others who took part on the program were more than en- thusiastic in speaking of treatment received .here and of the attendance at the entertainments. Endeavors will be made to bring the “week” here next year. CHANGE IN PURE F00D LAWS Meats and Meat Food Must in Future Comply With Pure Food Act. Washington, June 18.—Probably the most radical and far reaching ex- tension of the food and drugs act since its enactment was made when Secretaries Houston, McAdoo and Redfield, charged with enforcing this statute, ruled that meat and meat products in interstate or foreign com- merce, which hitherto has been ex- empted from the provisions of the pure fod law, may be seized if mis- branded or adulterated. Beginning at once manufacturers of meat foods wil be requried to comply strictly with the foods and drugs act as well a¢ with the meat inspection law. The action was taken on the strength of an opinion by Attorney General McReynolds. The three sec- retaries revoked the regulation adopt- ed October, 1906, only four months after the passage of the pure food law, which prevented the department of agriculture, according to a state- ' ment of Senator Houston, “from pro- secuting manufacturers of> meat foods under the pure food law or ordering seizures or prosecutions for mis- branding or adulteration of domestic cieats.” ‘With the regulation of 1906 re- voked, the department can seize and destroy bad and adulterated meat once it crosses a state line and re- mains in interstate commerce. In Hospital; Wife There Also " John W. McManus, who lives on Dewey avenue, was taken ‘to the St. Anthony’s: hospital this. morning. He had his leg bruised at the box factory - last evening. His wife was taken to the“hospital yesterday and will un- dergo an operation for a complica- tion .of diseases tomorrow. Mr. and. Mrs. McManus have three i chlldren, the oldest of which is
