| ; VOLUME 11. NUMBER 123, T0 GROW ALFALFA ON ONE ACRE PLOTS Business Men Now Contributing To Fund To Raise Money For Seed Buying Purposes. HALF ENOUGH MONEY ON HAND Prof. Gile Hopes To Secure 20 Plots— Farmers To Plant Under Direc- tions of H. S. Agri, Dept. That alfalfa will soon be one of the chief products in this section of the state will be a certainty, if the plans of the high school agricultural department materialize. This county has demonstrated that it can raise the best potatoes, and it can produce prize winning corn. Oats, wheat and grasses are one of its chief assets. The campaign is now on to put Bel- trami County among the leaders in alfalfa production. The business men are confributing to a fund for putting out one acre plots in the country tributary to Bemidji and un- der the direction of the High School Agricultural Department. “We hope to have about twenty of these one acre plots,” said Prof. Gile. “Enough money has already been raised to buy the seed for ten plots. The seed for these plots comes from fields located in our latitude and free from noxious weeds. The inoccula- tion material for each plot will be furnished free of charge. Three of these plots have already been select- ed. “We desire to get these plots on the public highway and distributed in all directions from Bemidji. The farmers will be furnished seed and inocculating material free but must prepare the ground and agree to leave them for at least two years and conduct them according to directions “Farmers desiring to have one of these plots should write Bueford M. Gile or call at the Agricultural room at the High school any time during the week in the forenoon except Sat- urday. “Undoubtedly many farmers will be willing to buy their own seed and we will be very glad to co-oper- ate with them,” concluded Mr. Giles, PORTERHOUSE AT 18 CENTS First Shipment of Argentine Beef Finds Ready Market. New York, Sept. 18.—The consign-| ment of 100 tons of Argentine beef which arrived here Monday, the first big shipment over brought to the T'nited States, has all been disposed of. Part of it was sold to dealers in this city and found its way into the vetail trade. When sold as Argen- tine beef the consumer got the benefit of a 4-cent reduction on the pound. The meat sold so well that butchers are beginning to inquire for it, but they will have to wait for the next cargo. What the original consignees got for it is held secret, but the retafl trade gave 11% cents a pound for the quarters and cut them® into steaks and roasts. Here are some of the prices at which the meat was sold: Porterhouse and sirloin steaks, 18 cents a pound; prime rib roasts, 16 cents; round of beef, 18 cents; chuck roasts, 121 cents, and soup meat, 10 cents a pound. POLICE SUSPECT MEXICANS Editor Otis of Los Angeles Gets Infernal Machine. Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 18.—That the Mexican situation is responsible for the sending to General Harrison G. Otis of an infernal machine was the belief of the police. They think some Mexican, angered at the atti- tude of Otis’ newspaper, the Times, towards the Huerta administration, attempted to kill the publisher. That the bomb was the ‘real thing” was the statement of Police Captain Felts. When the infernal ma- chine arrived Otis’ Japanese servant expresed a suspicion that the box was dangerous and his employer turied it over to the police. Captain Felts pried it open and found two sticks of 85 per cent dynamite and fulmi- nating caps arranged to explode when the box was opened in the regular way. Bryan Will Not Enter Ring.

Lynch Offers Nicollet Avenue Windows To Exhibit Beltrami’s Crop of “Spuds”, OWNS LAND IN THIS COUNTY J. F. Lynch, . proprieter of the Standard Clothing company in Min- neapolis on corner of Sixth and Nico- llet avenue, after seeing the potato display at the state fair booth, be- came so'enthusiastic over the exhibit that he has offered his entire show windows on the Nicollet avenue side for the display of Beltrami county potatoes. “Minneapolis people went fairly “crazy” over the -potato display shown at the Beltrami county booth,” said G. G. Winter of the Crookston Lumber company. “If we could get potatoes like these we would be will- ing to pay almost any price for them,” was some of the comments made. Mr. Lynch recently purchased some ditch lands in this county but before that time had little if any in- terest in this section. “If the peo- ple of your county will get together and send up several carloads of fine sorted potatoes for display in ‘the Standard store window, several com- mission men have agreed to diiicse of tnem at a good nrisc and take no commissions for .the saie. '’lie hon- or of having the priveledge to sell such classy stock is all they ask for their work.” It has been suggested that the commercial club secure the window and interest various farmers in bring- ing to town a select lot of potatoes for disposal in this manner. It is now up to the potato grower and club to get together. REV. STILLI-TO WADENA| German Evangelical Pastor Will Take Charge After General Conference At Louisville.

P. Freeman of Stromburg, Neb., who has been the guest at the A. T. Carlson home for the past week was loud in his praises of Bemidji and the surrounding country. The eli- mate impressed him most favorably and in speaking of the country said: “You surely have a fine climate here. It seems so easy to breath and the atmosphere is just right. I'd like very much to live here all the time and maybe will some day. The folks in Nebraska don’t know what you have up here, or they would all come on the next train.” He’ll be another good walking advertisement for this country. KKK KX KKK KKK KKK H % NYMORE SCHOOL NOTES % KRHKHKKKKE KKK KKK Nymore enrollment at this ' time shows an increase of 45 over last year’s enrollment at the same time. This enrollment is probably the lar- gest in the history of the school and is entirely in the lower and inter- mediate grades, which is a strong in- dication of a growing population in a town. _If present conditions con- tinue there is no question but what some other arrangement will have to be made to accomodate this in- crease of attendance if it continues. Marshal Jarvis’ services have been increased to being truant officer be- sides his usual duties. Let us hope he will not be called upon often in his capacity. The children of the school are well pleased with their new game of vol- ley ball. Basket ball still hold its own and a fast juvenile team bids fair to be a feature of the season. The teachers are anxiously await- ing the arrival of the new supply of books to accommodate the increase of pupils. HAS “MADE GOOD” IN HIBBING _— Mayne Stanton, 8on of Judge C. W.

ENGLAND Ffigs STRIKE Trouble Follows- Lgckout Of Dublin Workers—Discontent Is Gentni, RAILROADERS 0UT AII LIVERPOOL London, Sept. 18—~Tifgland is threat- ened with the most sérious strike of union labor in its history, according to union leaders here. | The trouble hegan with the lockout of large numbers of Workers last week in Dublin in consequence 'of a strike of transport workors employment of ' nonwnion laborers. Rumblings of discontent ‘have since been -heard-througheut#he entirelabor- community . of thé Britisk Isles, but thus far eruptions have occurred only in the larger cities. X The sympathetic strike of the Liver- pool dockers and of railroad workers there and at Biymingham has already stopped the three great trunk rail- ways serving the midland counties of England and ' the Manchester Ship Canal company also is contending with a strike of dock laborers for better wages. At Liverpool seven of the great freight depots are idle and others are likely soon to be closed for want of traffic. 7 Attempts at Settlement Fail. In Ireland, too, all attempts have failed to settle the Dublin trouble, which was the direct cause of the de- velopments at Liverpool and Birmfng- ham. The difficulty of getting provi- sions into the Irish capital has become Bo great that it is believed the mar- kets will have to close their doors. London has been only indirectly fected by the strikers on the railroads in the midlands. The metropolis is more directly interested in the threat- ened strike of motor omnibus drivers because the employers refuse to allow employes to wear union badges. The men held a meeting and passed a resolution in favor of a strike which would tie un all the motor omnibuses and tube lines in London. Labor members of parliament de- clare that the trouble in Dublin, Lon- don and elsewhere has been caused by the determination of the employers to challenge the rights of labor to or- ganize. $500,000 FIRE AT BUFFALO Hotel Guests Routed, but All Escape Injury.

L. Hakkerup and Olaf Ongstad drove to the W. G. Schroeder farm in the Marin car to see Mr. Schroeder’s idea of cutting corn and filling his silo. The plan is one of the most unique of any seen in Beltrami coun- ty and does the work to perfection, The Schroeder’s delivery truck is used for power and the belts are attached to the rear wheels which are blocked up. With this apparatus for power Mr. Schroeder finds no trouble whatever in cutting his corn and operating the machine which automatically cuts the corn and fills the silo. This machine can also be used in threshing as a separator could easily be operated by the Buick truck which is powerful enough and which does not need a man to operate as it is self governing. N. L. Hakkerup took several pic- tures of the outfit while in operation’ and will print several on post cards for the trade.
