VOLUME 12, NO. 55, ANOTHER THEORY | FOR GULF STREAMS Believed That Action of Easterly Trade Winds Blow Water in Gulf Forcing ‘It Through Straits. STEP IN ADVANCE OF FOOD LAWS : % Goeke Pure Jewelry Bill Likely to Lead to Great Benefit for American People—House Reports. By Congressman C. H..Tavenner. 30.—The first step in advance of the pure food law Washington, June, and one which is likely to lead | to great future benefit to the American people is the Goeke pure jewelry bill which ~ from the House committee ‘on inter- has just been reported out state commerce. The logical cort of legs development_ of ~ this tion wiil be pure > leather laws, pure fabric laws and other similar statutes making it an offense to brand or label any common articles to be anything else than what they really are. It is the pure food law carried into the re- tail district generally, and this leg- islative evolution will prove of great value in preventing the public from being swindled. The Goeke Rill, named after its »4 author, Representative J. Henry Goeke, of Ohio, applies to watches but one of the great American swindles is the sale of spurious A watches to the ecredulous public. There have recently been tests made for the committee, and it is found that watch cases sold as *Warranted | 20 years” and the like, purporting { cither to be either solid gold of heavily gold plated, have really con- tained less than five cents’ worth of only, gold. Such watches are sold to the pub- 5 lic by mail order agents and by The vie- itinerant auction jewelers. } tim gets such a watch at what seems m to ve a low price. Really h(‘K % s paying an extravagant price for a § worthless article. The new bill provides that all watch cases marked jold Filled” must e be plated with a minimum thickness § of gold prescribed by law. Tt is for- T\ __bidden to guarantee gold filled or 7 plated watch cases. When cases are marked gold the bill requires that the karct [lincness shall be stamped on tie case. On all watch 2 movement the number of jewels and adjustments must be stamped in the metal, as well as the manufactur name, and there is prescribed penalties for false branding. The bill is similar to the pure fabrie bill the committee is now con- sidering, but beca of special con- ditions in the jewelry trade, it was decided to keep the Goepe bill as a separate measure, It is a step in the right direction \ for the American public. Wonders of the Gulf Stream Ninety billion tons of water are| carriel hourly through the Straits of Florida, writes Admiral Pillsbu: to the National Geographic Society. There are not shops enough in the; world to hold the salt that might be porated from a single hour's flow in this wonderful ocean which For ages, according to the Admir- al, this torrent flowing with a volume equal to that of all the largest rivers of the world com- bined. It was has been formerly thought that the! current was set up by the discharge | b of the M ippi and other rivers into the Gulf of Mexico. It is now krown that it wenld take 2,000 Miss- — jssippis to equal the Gulf Stream, and the theory that the M ippi causes this vast current in branded| as ridieulous. A better theory is thought to be Y that of the action of the easterly trade winds blowing-water into the Gulf of Mexico up the South Ameri- can coast and forcing water out of the Gulf through the uarrow Florida Straits. GOOD FOR MANY YEARS MORE But Roosevelt Must Follow Advice of Physicians. New York, June 30.—"If they will let him alone for the next four months and give him a chance to follow the simple, common sense regime sug- gested by Dr. Alexander Lambert, his physician, Colonel Roosevelt will re-! % cover his health completely and will be assured of at least seventy-tive| years of life. “But if they keep crowding at Saga- move Hill and insist on persuading| him to exertions avainst which the doctor has warned him, he will never ' 4 be the same Rooseveit and his life bl might be shortened.” i That was the statement made ‘to newspaper nen by a man who knaows Colonel Roosevelt better, perhaps, ! than any person save the members of | the colonels family.. : ST Ve e | - W.C.

LENGTHY PETITION IS FRAMED Indifference shown at a meeting of a large number of business men y take no active part in the endeavor to cause Cato Sells, commissioner of Lndian affai at Washington, to let conditions remain as they are. The meeting was called by the president of the Business Mpn’s Treaty committee, and Curtis L. Mosher, who a: ted in the organi- tion of the-committee, outlined the significance of the treaty and told of the probable results should the provisions be enforced. He said that should the commissioner order the saloons to discontinue business that the 21,000 square miles included in the treaty would be a stamping ground: for blindpiggers, and that it would be necessary to expend large amounts in providing officials to watch the district. A petition addressed to Secretary gave reasons why the laws should not be enforced. It had ! been the plan to have the petition signed by as many business men as possible, but little had been done about the matter today. There are forty-nine towns represented by .the Treaty committee. treaty COURT HAS BIG DAY. —TFour Found Guilty.

United States Harvest to Brmg Ban- ner ‘Results This Yenp—l{eavy Rainfall Aid to Farmers, SITUATION BETTER THAN EVER Reports From All Districts Say That Farmers” Are Optomistic—Min- nesota in Front. St. Paul, June 30.—The grandest harvests in the history of American agriculture are under way. That is the sunmary of United States crop”conditions made from re- ports submitted by editors of stand- ard farm papers, officials of granger railroads and bankers thmugl\ounhe country. The conditions for the com crop are declared to be, the most gratify- ing. ever recorded at this season of the year. Touches of drouth have appeared and a surplus of water has fallen here and there, but never before have conditions for “all crops been so uni- formly favorable from -coast to coast and from lakes to gulf. “With normal weather from this time until- harvest the Northwast should produce one of the greatest crops in its history,” says thie report. “The only unfavorable crop condition |, possible during the next month is an excess of rain.” The St. Paul road report says that in parts of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, even in favorable years the last three weeks of June have constituted the period~ when dry weather is expected, but this year there has been plenty of rain during the entire month. Other Lines See Big Crops. The Northwestern line says that on the whole'its entire territor: rep resents an ideal condition. with suf. ficient moisture to mature the ‘smal ois Central says the out- look in the northen .hzif of Illinois ;and the entire state of lowa is par- ticularly encouraging. The Burlington road declarcs that crop conditions along its lines are splendid. The winte; vheat crop is good, the crop of oats large and the corn crop in a highly satisfactory condition. Optimism marks the re- port of the Great Northern for Minne- _sota, North and South Dakota, ,\lon tana and Washington. Th T\Wisconsta conditions on Al farm crops are most promising. W consin will lead all states again this year in the yield of grains and grass- es per acre.: Prospects for an un- usually successful year for the dairy sections of the United States never were brighter. In Towa crop prospects never have seemed Dbetter. The hay crop is a trifle short, but wheat and oats are very heavy and corn promises a bumper erop. Achenbach-Brennan Rev.

Sfiité Requirements for Teachers as Outlined Brings Out Important Rea,son for Rapid Entnbhlhment |RULES ’IfAKE EFFECT _IN 1915 Regulattons Concerning Training Necessa.ry for Teachers to Secure Certxficates—-stemn’n Oplmon. Anothér reason for the' establish- ment of the sixth normal schoal in as short a time as possible 'is made prominent by the announcement of Charles G. Schultz, state ‘superin- tendent, giving out the state require- | ments for training of teachers in or- der that they may quality for certi- ficates. The regulations show that a teacher must have had normal de- partment or normal school training, or scheols of equivelant standing, which indicatés that the summer training school which has been-so popular in: Bemidji, will no longer be needed. - Cripple Conditions Here. When interviewed this morning on the announcement of the regulations W.-B. Stewart, couty superintendent of schools, expressed the opinion that the new plan will raise the teachers’ standard but that this section of the state in particular will suffer by not having tlre necessary facilities, foreing those who desire to teach to visit some other section of the state to prepare-for their work. Mr. Stew- art also feels that the number of téachers would be decreased by -this condition; that it will be more diffi- cult to secure instructors and that larger salaries will be demanded. With the normal school these con- ditions would be entirely eradicated. Effective August™1. The 1913 legislature providel that after Aug. 1, 1915, all candidates for teachers’ certificates, except those who had served the prior 18 months in Minnesota schools, must have completed a professional course prescribed by the-state snpermtend- ent. Supt. Schultz has defined the fol- lowing requirements: 1, - A-year’s study in the training department of a state normal school, or graduation from either the ele- mentary or the advanced course. ¢f such school. ¢ RS 2. Completion of the course #n education in the I/nlveriity of Min- nesota. 3.

Such course must he of equal rank with that of a high school training de- partment and approved by this de- partment. 6. Regular attendance during 1914 anl 1915, at the summer ses- sions of any Minnesota state normal school, at University Farmr Crooks- ton or Morris, for the full six weeks, will be accepted as meeting the re- \quirement for professiona training for the issuance of a common school first-grade certificate in 1915. work must include at least one class period daily in -methods during the term of each year. High School Requirements. The following fraining is to be re- quired of high school teachers (in- cluding those of academic subjects, agriculture, home economics), prin- cipals and superintendents. 1. The bachelor’s degree from a standard college accredited by the superintendent of education. 2.

ELECT OFFICERS--PROVIDE FUND That there ave a !arge number of Bemidji yesim:e Wwho desire imme- diate action. on t]\g enggrce_rflent of | the 1855 treaty, thereby closing 200 saloons in northern Minnesota, was | made evident at™a meeting held in' the office of the Clark Pole & Tie| company, -at which a permanent. or- ganization was formed. The meeting was. attended by more than thirty persons, largely business and profes- sional men bfr‘the city, and was held yesterday. The orgaxfization will'be known as the 1855 Treaty Enforcement league and its officers are J. J. Opsahl, pres- ident, and Harry Reynolds, secretary and treasurer. Funds were raised which will be used in carrying on a campaign for the purpose of urging the enforcement of the treaty. A petition which <has been ciren- lated in Bemidji during the past week, and which contains the names of more than 400 residents of the city, was forwarded to the'Indian de- partment and shows that there is a strong public sentiment which favors the enforcement of the treaty which prohibits the traffic in intoxicating liquors within the territory affected. Petitions have been signed by a large number of Bemidji women, the various guilds taking much interest. ment instructor. 4.

Ten Tribes Represented. At the time ‘of the organization delegates were present from each of the ten tribes of the state, as will be the case at the Bemidji meeting. The main purpese was that a per- manent organization could be form- 2 | ed that the tribes might have great- & | er recognition’ at Washington.

Last year the Conference. was given no aid by the government, but an appropriation of $1,500 was made 5 this year and this amount will be S spent in paying the traveling expen- 3 ses of the.delegates and other neces- sary expenditures in the carrying on of the organization. Many important matters are to be discussed at the conference and great results are exjpected. While it is the plan to complete the business during one day, officers feel certain that this cannot be accomplished. . PINE CONE HITS LOG. Fast Boat May Be Lost to Celebra- tion Launch Races.
