VOLUME 12, NO. 103, HUNTING SEASON T0 ENTER WITH RUSH Will Open on Holiday and Hundreds of Sportsmen Will Take Advantage of Opportunity to Hunt. — SEASON PERFECT FOR DUCKS Game Wardens Prepared to Protect Laws From Now Until September 7—Guns Are in Readiness. One week from next Monday, Sept- ember 7, marks the opening of the shooting season in Minnesota. It will also be Labor Day and that fact will result in an unusually large num- ber of shooters going afield on that date. The last three years have been bad in that respect. In 1912 the season opened Saturday and there were more people out than ordinarily go. It was worse in 1913 when the season opened Sunday and the holiday combination this year will give many people an opportunity to get out who do not hunt on week days. Ducks Are Numerous. There will be more ducks than ever before in this vicinity. The portection given for several years in protection given for several years in the spring by the state laws and last year® by the Federal laws as well, have resulted in more ducks stopping within the boundaries of the state. The fact that the early spring and summer rains filled the sloughs and coulees gave the ducks better op- portunities than before and the state waters are covered with them. “Sooners” Are Warned. Because the season opens on Mon- | day there will be a temptation for hunters, especially in the less thiek- ly populated sections, to slip out a day ahead and shoot on Sunday. | The state game board is preparing to overcome this danger by the ap- pointment of special deputies who work on reward, and they will also have the secret service men over the state where violations are most likely to oceur. Most sportsmen are already secur- ing their hunting licenses and pre- paring their guns and - dogs for the sport. MANY OF THEM WOUNDED Fugitives From Belgium Pouring Into Holland. Macstricht, Holland, Aug. 26.—Fug gitives from Belgium continue to ar- rive here. Many of them are slightly wounded. The total nuumber of these fugitives is now nearly 7,000 and they are being cared for in sheds at Calvarienberg. Those who have made their way here during the past few days are mostly from the vicinity of Malines. There has arrived also a large num- ber of Belglan farmers who consider | it no longer safe to stay on their lands. They say the treatment of Bel- glans by the Germans has been none too good, but the opinion prevails here that this treatment is due to overt acts on the part of the peasants. Te— Governor Threatens Action Unless Strike Conditions Improve. Trenton, N. J.,, Aug. 26.—A strike of machinists for higher wages and shorter hours has partly closed the John A. Roeblings Sons wire mills and the Mercer automobile works, which they control, and there have been reports of disorder. Governor Fielder said he would call out the militia to preserve order in this city and vicinity unless strike conditions improved. USE THE TORCH IN ALSACE French Baid to Have Destroyed Six Towns. Basel, Switzerland, Aug. 26.—News has reached here that a French force of Turcos, Zouaves and Senegalese, during the fighting in Upper Alsace, entercd and almost destroyed the towns of Flachslanden, Jagsdorf, Landser, Brunnstatt, Heiweiler and Marschweiler. Wounded French soldiers who have crossed the Swiss frontier and are in- terned here say the German soldiers evidently think nothing of their lives in their efforts to galn a victory over great odds. Gile to Visit Nary. Bueford M. Gile, high school ag- riculturist, has accepted an invita- tion to talk at a meeting of the Nary Farmers’ club, which is to be held at the home of J. E: Boobar next Sat- urday. Rev. Father Philippe will- leave tomorrow afternoon for where he will say mass Friday morn- ing at-9 o’clock in the new St. Pat- rick’s church.. He wishes to nounce that a large attendance is desired at:this meeting. The largest coal mines in France, ! near Lens and Bethune, have the finest mechanical installation of the kind in. the world. ¢ 4 was _present-at--the meeting. E. H. MAY CALL OUT THE MILITIA, Rome, Aug. 26—"The entire sacred college is praying that God may guide us in the election of a new pontift who may be able to bring about peace | in war stricken Europe.” This is the statement of Cardinal Farley, an American prince of the church, who arrived here for the con- clave at which a successor to the late Pope Pius is to be selected. Cardinal Farley came here from Switzerland after fleeing from Austria following the declaration of war. SITE SELECTION HELD UP Slight Opposition Made to Placing of Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Bass Lake—St. Paul Man Architect. ti WHITE ON BUILDING COMMITTEE Unexpected opposition to the Bass Lake site for the locating of the $50,000 tuberculosis sanatorium was made at the meeting of the board Tuesday afternoon and as a conse- quence no decision will be reached until action is taken by the advisory board of the State Tuberculosis commission, which will visit the va- rious sites suggested next week. Every member of the board, which comprises three members from Bel- trami county, and two each Koochiching and Hubbard coun la«. Sund, an architect of St. Paul, was appointed to draw plans for the sanatorium. He has had much ex- perience in the work and this will be his fourth sanatorium. It is planned to have the basement com- pleted this fall and to rush the build- ing’s construction next spring. It will be two stories high, fire-proof and the exterior will be of stucco finish. A building and site committee, comprising William Durrin of North- ome, Koochiching county, Commis- sioner Lake of Hubbard county, and Rev. S. E. P. White of this city, was named. They will meet with the state commission advisory board next week and their recommendation will then go to the board of control. Dr. R. Bosworth, of the advisory board, was in Bemidji yesterday and was very much pleased with the progress ‘which is being made by the board. He will again visit Bemidji when the site is selected. The Bass Lake site is owned by the county, is near the railroad and is considered by many as the most advisable location for the hospital. Advertised Letters. .

There are 122 train- ing departments in the state. This means an expenditure each year of about $125,000. It is for us to see that the state gets. value received. We are training between 1,500 and 1,800 teachers. They will be the instructors for from 25,000 to 30,- 000 country children.” Much time was devoted to sug- gestions from the teachers them- selves as to the best methods of teaching in the training depart- ments. Some of the points touched on by the teachers follow: Teach pupils to think. Train them wel in grammar and arithmetic. Teach current topics. Dwell on preparedness of teachers themselves. Foster teachers’ clubs. Visit rural schools.

In Paris the official announcement was made that “the German offensive movement in the north,” which was stopped Monday, appears to have been resumed, but that the enemy is being held back by a French army, acting in conjunction with an Eng- lish army and a Belgian army. “The armies of the allies surprised the enemy and drove back their ad- vance detachments,” says the an- nouncement. “The allies have gone and consolidated schools Agriculturist ‘Gile and W.
