NEW YORK HAS TWO GOVERNORS Both Sulzer And Glynn Acting As Executives—No Relief Is In Sight LEGISLATURE MEETS TUESDAY Present Situation May Continue Until That Time—Mrs, Sulzer m ol clchoo ol b b b ke b b b “* L Albany, N. Y., Aug 15— Mrs. Sulzer's illness is so se- rious as to be regarded as critical, according to announce- ment made by Governor Sul- zer’s secretary. Two addition- al specialists were summoned from New York by telegraph to attend her. Mrs. Sulzer’s temperature was 102, her pulse 110, her condition serious, and she can see no one, according to a bulletin issued by Dr. Robert Abrahams. B R R R R R B e M e e . i e e e i ++++++-X<+"~++++++++ Albany, N. Y., Aug. 15.—The com- plex machinery of the state govern- ment, over which both William Sulzer and Martin H. Glynn claim sole au- thority, bids fair to be thrown out of gear by their rival attempts to di- rect it. Heads of many departments were divided into two groups. One of ‘these groups, under the leadership of Sulzer, adhered to his contention that his impeachment was uncunsti- tutional and prepared to continue their obedience to his instructious as if there had been no impeachment. The other, holding that he ceased to be governor when the senate re- ceived the articles of impeachment charged against him, was marshaled under the standard of Glynn, ready to carry out his orders and to ignore any which the impeached governor might see fit to issue. Never in the history of the state has its army of employes bheen more demoralized. Nor does the panic affect only the internal affairs of New York. It extends to the state's rela- tions with other commonwealths and unless the issue is speedily settled there is every indication that other states will shortly find themselves in the perplexing situation of deciding for themselves who is governor. An instance of this situation was revealed in the announced intention of both Glynn and Sulzer to sign requisition papers for prisoners held in the name of New York beyond its borders. No Relief in Sight. Whatever the day might bring forth no permanent relief in the situation was indicated. Leaders of the two factions expected no settlement of the problem until after the meeting of the legislature next Tuesday at noon. Then they belleve the isue will be squarely joined and ready for sub- mission to the courts by the legisla- ture’s formal recognition of Lieuten- ant Governor Glynn as acting gover- nor, Reports were that such recogni- tion would be granted by the sen- ate by confirming the appointment by Lieutenant Governor Glynn of a state labor commissioner. Abraham I. Elk- us of New York is sald to be the man favored by Mr. Glynn for the office. The great seal of the state of New York is still in the possession of Governor Sulzer, notwithstanding the claim of his opponents that it legally passed out of his keeping and into the custody of the lieutenant governor when the senate received the articles of impeachment. Sulzer still occu- pied the executive chamber and will continue to occupy it, or attempt to do so, till the impeachment trial is SYNOD TO MEET IN BEMIDJI Red River Conference Here For Three Days The Red River Valley Conference of the Swedish Augustava Synod will meet here in Bemidji, August 21 to 24.

RACES HERE TOMORROW Tomorrow afternoon Bemidji resi- dents will be treated to some of the tastest horse races ever staged in the Northwest. All of the fast horses throughout the North part of the state have been brought to Bemidji for the occasion and an endeavor will be made to break their present re- cords.

Work of the organization thus far has, brought about the raising of a uniform variety of crops, all of who report that this years will be a record breaker both as to quantity and qual- ity. This fact in the face of poor crops in other districts will mean much to the prevailing. prices. The members of the association are well satisfied with progress made thus far and Secretary Sathre pre- dicts within the next few years an as- sociation large enough that will em- brace the majority of farmers in this community.

As the result of his observations he has introduced in the Senate a bill which ought to win the instant support of every far- mer and every consumer in the United States The bill repeals that .|hollow mockery on the statute ‘books known as the denatured alcohol law and substitutes a simple, unhamper- ed proceedure by which every farmer will be able to turn his waste farm Dbroducts into denatured alcohol, and thus show a profit for what is now a total loss. In one part of Oregon Dr. Lane saw an overproduction of potatoes. Thousands of bushels of them were left undug in the ground. In another part of the state there was an over- abundance of apples. Not only the culls were going to waste but great quantities of perfect apples were rot- ting. Some time later Dr. Lane was in California, and there he saw the gmund vellow with waste oranges ‘| which had been touched by the frost. Dr. Lane remembered that some years ago there were great predic- tions of the prosperity that was to follow the law which removed the internal revenue tax from denatured alcohol. This exemption was to give every farmer the opportunity to turn waste products into that valuable commodity. It was to make cheap fuel, light and power, and thus re- bound to the benefit of every con- sumer in the country. The doctor-statesman naturally wondered why, when this beneficent Athletic Club Make Great Headway : COMINSKY OFFERS FIRST PRIZE Forty-seven applicants ‘applied for admissfori as niembers of the Bemidji Athletic Club last evening, when it -|events for running, broad met in the Council Chambers at the City hall. The total member- ship now numbers 68 <which in- cludes the majority of the business men of the city. : The first ‘business of the meeting was to elect a board of directors. T. A. McCann, E. H. Denu Nat Given, Ray Shumaker and Ralph Lylan were chosen to act ds such the coming year This body will transact all the busi- ness of the club and keep an accurate account of the Clubs funds. The club also elected Carl Jaoch- son as manager of the football squad for the coming season and gave him full power to govern all progress of the team including the coaching. A committee as appointed to start a track team for the purpose of giv- ing a local track meet about the first of September. Henry Cominsky offer- ed to donate a suitable first prize for the best athlete. Other business men are also willing to make proper dona- tions and from the amount of interest already being shown the project will undoubedly be a success. Practice will start immediately and jumping and other field sports will be booked for the event. IS BEMIDJI MAN DEAD? Groundless Report Tells Of Death Of Terry. Lennon Rumors _ about tHe city ‘'have brought sympathy from the friends of Terry Lennon who has been re- ported shot and instantly killed in Canada. The rumor also reports that the foundation of the story was re- ceived by John Dalton by wire, but the latter states that it is not so and that he believes there is no truth in the rumor. Mr. Lennon has been a lumberman in this vicinity and is well known through out this section. Many of his friends in this city who have heard the rumor believe that his name has law had been enacted for the farm- ers, the beneficiaries are making no use of it. When got into Washing- ton he began to investigate, and he soon learned the reason why. He learned that two great inter- ests are opposed to the cheap and widespread manufacture of commer- cial alcohol—the Standard Oil Co., which maintains the price of gaso- line,, and the great distilling inter- ests, which manufacture all the al- cohol. He also learned that the Al- drich-dominated Senate had filled ithe law so full of jokers that the whole Act is a joker, a gigantic hoax. Theoretically, Senator Lane learn- ed, it costs a farmer not less than $30,000 for a denatured alcohol plant which will comply with the law and regulations—theoretically, that is. Practically, a farmer cannot buy a {plant at any price, for the very good |reason that the manufactures of dis- tilling machinery will not=.sell to him for fear of offending, the great .|distilling interests. Not only is the price prohibitive, but the lawmakers saw to it that the farmer must put a bond of $5,000 before starting a plant, a provision which makes the general manufac- ture of this product impossible. ing the costs from the judgement. {Continuea on last page)- Try Going To Bed At Bed Time, Scoop HOLY SMOKE~A WOUNDED BEAR SWIMMING- AFTER |, ME.

Reopens Next Month Students of the Bemidji schools who have been spending their vaca- tions with friends and relatives in other cities are rapidly returning to Bemidji to prepare for the next school term which opens in Bemidji September First. Many of the boys who have worked in the mill during the summer months are now resign- ing and expect to take advantage of the two weeks of freedom by tak- ing trips. NYMORE ROAD SPEED WAY Several accidents have been nar- rowly averted during the past few days by a.utomobile drivers on the Ny- more road. Wednesday nlght a cheut- feur from the Mclver livery stables was forced to drive on the side walk to prevent a clash with two autos who were apperantly racing on the stretch of paving. One car endeavor- ed to turn out and a result received a smashed fender. Y uHO b Totalling 68 Strong The Bemidji NEW MEMBERS APPLY “FARMER’S CLUBS POPULAR” GILE Bemidji Banker Eats Whole Pie At Recent Gathering Of Tillers R e JARCHOW HAS MODLE FARM v Raises Fruits, Vegetables, Sheep And Cattle On Ideal Country 2 Home (By Bueford Gile) Beltrami County Farmers’ Clubs Beltrami County, of which Bemidji is the County Seat, has many unique features. Her farmers’ Clubs are one of these unique features. There are at least a dozen of these clubs with~ in a radius of fifteen miles from Be- midji. Last week I had the pleasure of attending the regular monthly meeting of two of these clubs. The meetings are held at the home of a different member each time. The members of the club bring their en- tire family and well filled baskets. At one of these meetings, a prominent banker of Bemidji who went with me ate four pieces of lemon pie and drank three 'cups of coffee, which simply shows the quality of the eats as well as something concerning the banker. . Wednesday August 6, the Pleasant Valley Farmers’ Club met at Mr, Randall’s farm three miles from Pu- posky. There are just twelve families in this club. These people are located on land just recently opened, in fact some of them are still homesteading. They are located on fine clay loam soil and are surrounded by thousands ot -zeres of as-fime' langzas daysiont: doors, which is longing to be cleared up and brought under cultivation, An outsider might think these set- tlers were “Moss Backs” I was brought up in an old settled com= munity and am well acquainted with the people at least five or six other communities and I can say positively that none of them are ahead of this club in progressiveness, intelligence and integrity. More than this, in any of these clubs we find that every- body is from somewhere—nobody was born here| In one club we will find people from Wisconsin, southern Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, Il- isive farmer. linois and Dakota. Hence we see what, a cosmopolitan bunch they are and what fun they have relating their ex- periences at the club meetings. The fact that all are new settlers means that there are no traditions or haunte ed houses, which is a big asset ta begin with. Saturday, August 9, “The Better Farming Club” of Bemidji township held a meeting at August Jarchow’a place five miles south of Bemidjl. In. this club we find ex-professors, preachers, pire bred stock raisers, merchants and. dairymen. Here again we find that openmindness which is characteristic of Bemidji people, While they know a whole 1lot about good farming methods they see that the farming profes- slon is big enough so that there s always something new to learn and that by discussion at their gathere creases their interest and makes them all better and more contented farm- ers. Mr.. Jarchow is a very progress He has a large new house, modern in every respect: He has forty acres of land cleared and he has one hundred head of sheep, fourteen head of cattle, three pigs and two horses. Anyone who has any helping to clear land should visit Mr. Jarchow’s farm and see what ex- cellent work they are doing. Mr. Jar- chow has about a quarter of acre of onions from which last year on a similar plot he realized $150. There which have to be braced up:in or- der to carry their load of fruits. Next week I will write something about the practical benefits which the members derive from their co- operative efforts. % Farmers around the vicinity of the Bass Lake school house will meet Sunday P. M. to organize a Farm- ers’ Club. Bueford M. Gile, High School Agriculturist, will attend to (Continued on Iast page). ings of farm topics for an hour it in=. unéer the plow.
