FULL OF LIFE AND EXCITEMENT During the latter part of mnext month citizens of Bemidji will be given an opportunity to learn more film which was recently secured in this section of the state, for the forestry association, will be shown here. The reel takes one into the forests of northern Minnesota, where it pic- tures the scenic beauties of our state —its magnificent forests and sky- blue lakes, bringing out in a strik- ing manner that by a proper devel- opment of the existing resources, Minnesota will be the banner state in the union. The film depicts the lumberjack in camp, on the drive and in the mills. It portrays an interesting scene of the discovery of a forest fire, the call for help, the rush to the scene of the fire, and the fight made by the for- est rangers to control it. The whole film is full of life and excitement; it is snappy and inter- esting; and it expresses and impress- es the value of our forests to the people of Minnesota. It brings out in a particularly clear manner the necessity of adopting a business-like management of our forest wealth, and proves that every citizen should remember No. 9, the State Forests Amendment, on election day, in or- der to help save our forests from destruction. They are going fast, and now is the time to act. The picture will be shown at the Brinkman theatre on October 30 and 31. of their own state when the WHEN YOU MAY SEE EXHIBIT.

WILL HAVE MINUTES PRINTED For the first time since the meet- ing held here several weeks ago, the exective committee of the Minngsota Chippewa Council, met here last evening. The purpose of the meeting was to approve the minutes of the an- nual conference, to compile a budget and to agree upon the selection of a legislative committee. There were six members of the ex- ecutive committee in attendance, be- ing: John G. Morrison, president of the council, an office which provides him with the title of Chief of the Minnesota Chippewas; Frank Ca- june, of Mahnomen, secretary of the council; Nat Head of Red Lake, B. L, - Fairbanks, Rev. C.-H. Beaulieu and Alex MeKenzie. retary to revise the minutes of the annual meeting, and to have it placed in printed form. Five members of the council were named as the leg- islative committee. It was the estab- lishing of a legislative committee which caused much trouble at the conference, one element favoring the allowing of as many red men as pos- sible to visit Washington in behalf of Indian legislation, while others believed that the lone committee would be able to secure more fa- vorable results. The annual meeting of the coun- cil will be held in Bemidji again next summer. TO DANCE NEXT FRIDAY. Ladies of Episcopalian Church to Give Invitation Affair.

Governer Eberhart Asks That Special Attention Be Called to Great Waste of State October 9. { LSS CRIMINAELY UNNECESSARY Minnesota will observe 'Friday, Oct. 9, as Fire Prevention day, and in many public places and private concerns special attention will be called that day to the waste that comes from carelessness in permit- ing fire hazards to exist. Governor Adolph O. Eberhart issued a proc- lamation yesterday naming the spe- cial day. “In-no way can -greater economy prevail,” says the proclamation, “than in preventing the terrible fire losses to which Minnesota, like other states of the union, is subject. While in Europe the average per capita loss by fire is 33 cents, in this coun- try it is $2.50. This is a loss that is as appalling as it is criminally un- necessary. The fact that during the past 165 years $2,000,000,000 of pro- perty has been destroyed and 20,000 lives have been sacrificed to the fire scourge is enough to compel action. “Minnesota has started out to curb the fire evil, and while much has been 2ccomplished, yet the great bulk of the work remains to be done. * * * It is necessary that some special act be performed to call at- tention to the useless waste of fire, and this can best be done through the agency of the churches, schools, private concerns, commercial and municipal organizations. “For the purpose of calling partic- ular attention to this campaign against the waste by fire, I especially proclaim Friday, Oct. 9, as Fire Pre- vention day in Minnesota. It should be recognized in the different depart- ments of the state, in all public and private institutions, by social, religi- ous, educational and commercial organizations, and by individuals in- terested in the social and ecomomic benefit of our people.” Queen Alexandria is president of the British Red Cross society.
