By CARL W. ACKERMAN. (Copyright, 1915, by United Press.) (Copyright in Great Britian.) Berlin, via The Hague, July 6.— “Germany will strive in the coming note, and in any subsequent changes to interpret fully the desire of the German people, which is one ex- of entire goodwill and which is al-; ways ready to adopt any honorable means to prevent misunderstanding and discord.” Baron Mumm von Schwartzenstein, now attached to the German foreign office, and one of the leading diplo- mats of Germany, made this state- ment in an exclusive interview grant- ed the United Press today. His ex- pression is particularly significant because of his intimate relations with the kaiser. The baron at one time was the German ambassador to Tokio; during the Baline administra- tion he was a special attache at Washington and he pos: as full understanding of the relations be- tween the German oflicialdom’s ap- parent determination to clear away the feeling in America that Germany has been indifferent to American publication. The baron emphasized the point that both countries had been led into a misunderstanding be- cause news reached each other through English channels. “I am glad to see the effort on both sides to clear up many of the primary causes of the misunder- standing between the two great coun- tries bearing fruit,” continued the baron. “I have learned it was be- lieved in many American quarters that Germany was not only indiffer- ent to the possibilities of a conflict with America, but that she was de- liberately seeking to involve Am- erica. We regret that there are any Americans who believe it. Germany could not reconcile such an inter- vention to the ideals of her people. You cannot indict a whole people. “Our two countries should never have lodged charges of bad faith against each other. Germany does not want her sincerity any longer to be questioned in the new continent. . Quite naturally she resented the in- dictment for responsibility for this war without judge, jury or witnesses but on the wholesale evidence sup- plied by her enemies as soon as the war broke out. Our people feel they have the right to expect at least a suspension of judgment until the proper means of communication are again established.” WOMAN SAYS GIRLS ARE FAILURE IN BUSINESS Denver, Colo., July 6.—Girls, you’re no good in business! A woman said so. Mrs. E. A. Hodgkins, instructor and advisor of employes in Denver’s de- partment stores speaks with author- ity. “If I were the owner of a large store I would employ only men. Wo- .men have only their intuition to de- pend upon to succeed in the business world. They lack judgment and reasoning powers. They do a thing but cannot tell why they did it. Their inherent inability to give a reason when asking why prevents them from being as valuable to business as men.” These are Mrs. Hodgkins words. Her professional title is “efficiency expert.” “Women are paid less than men not because their sex is unfairly treated,” Mrs. Hodgkins continued, “but because they are worth less. I should consider women too much of a risk. There are many exception- ally well-balanced women but even they are likely to fail when it comes to a matter of reasoning. A woman gambles where a man reasons. “A saleswoman may increase the profits of her department, but ask her how she did it, and she can’t tell you. She took chances, trusting to her intuition. Women never will deserve equal pay with men in busi- ness until they develop correct rea- sonifg powers, and T fear that will not be for a long, long time—not perhaps, until a new race is devel- oped.” For the protection of X-ray opera- tors garments made of silk, heavily impregnated with lead, have been in- vented in France. lons of water.

Coriell thrilled the crowd by walking up an inclined tight wire where he turned and balanced on his head, sliding to the ground in that derilous position. He made several attempts to accomplish the feat be- fore successful. He gave several ac- robatic stunts previous‘to his wire performance. Coriell, who will not be old enough to vote until next Jan- uary, has traveled with acrobatic troupes since he was eight years old, staging his own acts during the last six years. He gave one performance duging the morning and one in the eévening, the last act being the more brilliant. DISCUSS FARM PROBLEMS Rural Life Conference Will Bring Forth Many Propositions of Vital Interest to People of County. TO MEET SPECIAL CONDITIONS At the Rural Life Conference to he held at University Farm, St. Paul, July 27 to 30, rural workers of all classes will get together for a dis- cussion of problems of vital interest to people of the open country. In an address of welcome, Dean A. F. Woods, of the College of Agricul- ture, will review the general trend of the country life movement. The same morning Rev. C. O. Bemies, of McClellandtown, Pa., will lead a round table on rural educational problems. In the afternoon Rev. E. (. Hickman, a successful rural pas- tor of Byron, Minn., will present ru- ral church problems. Following this will be a discussion of rural recrea- tion by D. D. Mayne, principal of the Minnesota College of Agriculture. Tn the evening Rev. Bemies will deliver an address entitled “How One Com- munity Found Itself.” The programs for the other days of the week are just as full as that for the first day. The whole round of country life will be thoroughly discussed, the aim being to get at means of making country life rela- ‘tively as possible, useful and enjoy- able as city life may be. In suchi a conference the ‘rural| pastor, by virtue of his position of leadership, must have a large place. The rural pastor of the future must be a man trained to meet special conditions and he must have the sup- port of every interest in his commu- nity which may benefit by the country life improvement. This means the banker, the merchant, the school superintendent, the editor, the doctor, the lawyer, and every other progres- sive citizen. Because all such people are inter- ested in the work of improving coun- try life conditions, they should be 'concerned about the success of the coming conference. PRINTERS PURCHASE FARM Plan to” Establish Dairy Farm Near Puposky—Like Country. Puposky is to have two printers, an expert pressman and a linotype operator, among its farmers. Fred Rosche and his brother, Phil Rosche, arrived in Bemidji yesterday morn- ing, having purchased a farm in that locality, with a view of going into the dairy business. “If that section does not make a splendid dairy coun- try, I miss my guess,” said Fred Rosche this morning. Fred Rosche is from Forest Park, Il1l., which is a few miles out of Chicago, where he has been employed as a pressman on the Chicago Journal and the Amer- ican. His brother, Phil, is an expert linotype operator and make-up man and has been with the Milwaukee Leader. Pete Edd Victor. With a side.bet as the alluring prize an interesting: race took place yesterday morning between Pete Edd and Oscar Manaugh, the former win- ning in a close finish.

TAGLAND TWIRLS NO-HIT GAME Tagland, a young man who had never pitched a game of baseball be- fore in his life, twirled himself into Northern Minnesota baseball fame Sunday afternoon when he won a no-hit and no-run game for Fosston against Bemidji. Tagland, who is a practicing dentist of Fosston, is a former University of Minnesota The only semblance of a hit was when Claude Bailey hit a fly behind second base which was muffed by the second baseman after a hard run. He had the Bemidji batters-completely at his mercy and not a ball was batted out of the in- field. He came to Bemidji to catch for Fosston. Fosston won the game by a score of 3 to 0. Charlie Paul pitched for Bemidji and ordinarily would have won his contest for he pitched good ball, al- lowing but five hits. In the game of Monday, played as a feature of the celebration for a purse of $150, also went to Fosston, the white-wash brush again being ap- plied. Sather, of Fergus Falls, pitched for Fosston, while McKeig was on the slab for Bemidji. Me- Keig worked splendidly and had he been properly supported the game would have gone into extra innings. Over-throws and poor base running undoubtedly cost Bemidji the game. Fosston deserved both victories. The box score of the Sunday con- test follows: catcher. ] =] B R H A B Rice, 3b .. 4 0 0 0 11 Brandon 1f . 4 0 0 5 0 0 Tanner, 2b . 4 0 0 2 2 0 Bell, rf 2 0 0 2 0 0 2.0 0 8 0 0 8§ 0 0. 1 8 2 8/ 3 0 0 9 0 0 C.

FORMER FISTIC CHAMPION KNOCKS OUT BOOZE KING Atlantie City, July 6.—Delegates to the congress of the Anti-Saloon League of America, which opened here today, will be entertained by John L. Sullivan, former fistic cham- pion of the world, who, after being knocked out by booze “came back” at John Barleycorn in a way that settled the issue decisively for all time, at least with John L. The ex-champion will ngain enter the ring with the Booze King, when he makes a temperance lecture ad- dress today before the members of the Anti-Saloon congress on the Million Dollar Pier in this city by the sea. If the giant fighter is successful in his initial assault on old man booze he will make a tour of the | country, campaigning in the interests challenged Edd after being defeated in the fat man’s race of the celebra- tion program.

" Despite the rain Kelliher celebrated Independence day last Saturday in a patriotic spirit. On account of the showers several features of the day’s program were omitted. The address of the day was delivered by William Skrief. An interesting game of ball between Kelliher and Tenstrike was ‘won by the former, score 2-to-1. Sev- eral races were held after which a ? | sparring match was held, Art Plant Timber and Iron Royalties Invested in Bonds—Percentage Deposited. According to Walter J. Smith, state treasurer, the permanent trust funds of Minnesota aggregated $33,162,000 on the last day of last month. ‘This money is derived from the sale of state lands and timber, iron ore royalties and income from leases. Most of it is set aside-for school purposes, although the income from the swamp and intern’alvimpmvement land sales goes to roads and certain institutions. Exceeds Other States. The records show that the Minne- sota trust funds exceed those of & similar character held by any other state, and with Texas excepted, the aggregate is more than those held by all the states west of the Mississippi. The money derived from lands, timber and iron royalties is invested in the bonds of other states and of Minnesota school - districts, cities, counties, drainage districts and other governmental subdivisions. Securities Aggregate $19,015,855. The securities on hand June 30, be- longing to the permanent school fund, aggregated $19,015,855.69. In addi- tion there was $249,069.58 in cash to the credit of this fund which is being loaned. The permanent university fund in- vestments amount to $1,410,872, the swamp land fund $2,326,808, and the internal improvement land fund to $160,000. In addition there is $14,841 in cash in thbe university fund and $42,369.72 in the swamp land fund. Requires Percentage: Deposited. When the state sells land it re- quires but a 15 per cent deposit, the balance to be paid for in annual in- stallments running for forty years with interest at 4 per cent on de- ferred payments. «~As"a result of this puliey it is es- timated that the deferred payments will amount to nearly $10,000,000. RAINS HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE E. A. Barker, on Return From Trip, Says Roads Have Suffered. E. A. Barker and family returned to Bemidji by auto late Sunday night from Minneapolis, St. Charles and other southern Minnesota points where they have spent several weeks. The trip to Minneapolis was made via Park Rapids and Wadena, the re- turn being made through Brain- ery and Akeley. Mr. Barker says that the road between Akeley and Park Rapids was the best traveled during the entire trip. He reports that rains have made the lakes and rivers in many localities higher than ever before and that the hill and cor- duroy roads have suffered severely. Nearly 1,400 miles were covered dur- ing the trip. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. La- hey of St. Charles accompanied the Barkers’ on their return. Mrs. Lahey and Mrs. Barker are sisters. Mr. Barker will assume command of Be- midji’s division of the state naval militia at the. drill to be held next Monday. FARMERS HAVE CELEBRATION One of the biggest celebrations held in the country districts in this section of the county is reported Ly the Big Lake club, which held an Independence day celebration and pic- nic at the farm home of Charles Bloomgquist, Saturday, July 3. More than one hundred farmers and home- steaders attended the event. After the picnic those in attendance left the Bloomquist home for the Harley A.

Hanson, pro- prietor of the Palace Hotel of Crook- ston, has two certified checks in his possession, one for $1,000 and the other for $500, both of which will be turned over to the winner. Hill put up $1,000 against Harlan’s $500 that “he will beat him a city block or more.” Many of the Crookston sports have also posted money with Hanson that Hill will be the winner of the race, the odds being even. Bemidjians fa- vor Harlan, who is a fearless driver. Both of the contestants will carry one passenger, with a machinist. Hanson has been selected to ride with Hill and already has ordered belts so that he may- be, properly strapped. to ;. the machine. The race will be a no-stop endur- ance run. Harlin will drive a racing car that will be imported from the East, while Hill will drivé his high powered racer. Some time ago the family of Mr. Hill denied that he would enter the race. MORGAN'S ASSAILANT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE (United Press) Mineloa, L. I., July 6.—Frank Holt, a former Cornell university profes- sor, who attempted to assassinate J. P. Morgan near Glen Cove Saturday, and who later confessed that he set the bomb which exploded in the capi- tol building at Washington Friday night, today endeavored to commit suicide by gashing his wrist with a lead pencil. Quick assistance pre- vented any serious consequences. GOVERNOR AND STAFF TO VISIT FAIRS IN WEST Govenor K. S. Hammond, members of his staff and political friends of the governor will make a pilgrimage in two special cars to the Pacific coast and return during the last half of July, C. M.

A day will be spent at San Diego and Los Angeles, and from the latter city the tourists will go to Salt Lake, returning from there by way of Denver and Omaha. They .will arrive in the Twin Cities over the Northwestern road July 28. SUBMARINE RING IS SUCCESS, SAYSGERMANY (United Press) Berlin, July 6.—Germany’s sub- marine ring about the British Isles is constantly growing tighter, and every week the admiralty is launch- ing two monster submarines with sufficient power and supplies. to cross the Atlantic. It is believed here that the recent high toll of German submarine war- fare is striking terror in the hearts of British shippers. British newspa- pers print less than half of the loss- es, and it is estimated here that the loss to England is $1,000,000 weekly. The rise in price of foodstuffs in both France and England proves the success of submarine warfare. It i3 only a question here of how long Eng- land can stand the strain.

Hundreds Pay Homage to Stars and Stripes—Splendid Program is- Carried Out as Planned. - IDEAL WEATHER ADDS PLEASURE Day is Observed in Safe and Sane Way—Parade a Feature and Races Interesting. Bemidji’s Independence day cele- bration, with patriotism throbbing in the hearts of every participant, was the most successful ever held. Ideal weather, coming after several weeks of rain and as though by special or- der, made it possible to carry out the program as planned and the day could not have been more enjoyable. Patriotism was evidenced from early morning until late at night by a great blaze of flags and bunting, red pop, toy baloons and enthusiasm. It 1s estimated that no less than 5,000 persons attended the races and ball game conducted at the Fair grounds in the afternoon. No Accidents Mar Day. The celebration was indeed of a safc and sane nature and not a single accident came to mar the day’s pleas- ures. Not an arrest was registered at police headquarters, nor can any- one testify that they were annoyed by intoxicated persons, showing that’ even without saloons an occasion so dear to the hearts of every patriotic citizen as Independence day may be properly and appropriately observed. Bemidji may well feel pround of such, a record. Picnics in Parks and Lakes. It was a general holiday, the banks, postoffice and court house offices be- ing closed, while the stores were closed most of the day. Celebration of the natal day of the nation’s lib- erty was by no means confined with- in the city limits and surrounding lakes attracted many. The Amer- ican flag was honored by everyone. The Day’s Race Results. The results of the day's eventa were as follows: One hundred yard dash was won by Hugo Keller, prize $3.00, second;' Emil Laiginen, prize $2.00.

Arthur Breen won the sack race and $3.00, with Raymond Johnson second, who was given a prize of $2.00. The boys’ ex- press wagon race was won by Leo 0’'Grady, prize $2.00, with Harto Aubolee second, he being awarded a $1.00 prize. Auto Parade a Feature, The automobile and float parade comprised nearly seventy cars and wagons, led by Chief Ripple, as mar- shal of the day, and the Bemidji band, followed by the Bemidji fire . department. First prize in the auto parade was'awarded to Margaret Mc- Ghee, $15.00; second, Arvilla Ken- field, $10.00. Only one float prize ‘was awarded, there being only three floats entered, the prize going to A. T. Carlson of the Carlson Variety store. The Elks’ car was beautifully decorated by Miss Olive Curtis, but the judges had been instructed that this machine was not to be consid- ered in the prize awards. The car ~ would have undoubtedly been award- ed one of the prizes by the judges had this not been the - case. The ‘judges were Mesdames W. Z. Robin- son, Carl Johnson and H. A. Scharf. The free-for-all auto race was won by Dr. W. K. Denison, prize $26.00; second, Ted Getchell, prize $16.00. C. W. Jewett was unable to finish the race because of a break in the car’s oiling system.
