“Leading The Hounds” Has - Become A Habit In Bemidii ~ And Beltrami County J. J. Opsahl Advocates Use of New Air Ventilated One and o Half Bushel Orates for Marketing Potatoes— Plan Has Many Advantages. Bemidji and Beltrami county are becoming known the na- tion over as leaders. At the present California Exposition the! exhibit of potatoes sent there by this county is attracting world- yvide attention. In fact, the habit of leading has become a sec- ond nature to Beltrami county, which is evident from the fol- lowing : . Bemidji and Beltrami County took the lead in Northern Minnesota Development Boosting. It took took the lead in Drainage Boosting, resulting-in having over 12,000 miles of drainage ditches with roads along the sides built the-last seven, years at an expenditure of over fourteen million dollars. It took the lead in a seven years’ struggle and landed the North Central Minnesota Normal School. It took the lead and landed a local State Game Reserve. It took the lead and has the best organized Merchants’ Asso- ciation in the state. Now it proposes to take the lead in effecting better market- ing of its farm : factory products. In as much as it has es- tablished a nation-wide reputation for raising potatoes, it pro- poses as a first step this fall to sort and grade its potatoes a8 to size and quality and give to the consumers a strictly high grade, table quality product, packed in 114 bushel, air ventilated crates. True, other communities have graded their products, especially potatoes, but have never delivered them in this new and modern way. In this particular we again hope to take the lead. Other communities have followed in many of the above instances and will doubtless follow this new method, when once convinced that it is the best way to market potatoes. ‘What will this new idea mean to the buyer and seller? Easy to market. Easy to inspect. Easy to handle. Easy to store. Easy to deliver. Eliminating waste. Eliminating rot and decay. More satisfactory to buy (on account of economy) for the house and hotel keepers. More satisfactory to sell (on account of economy) by the dealers. : Packed in strong, open, ventilated box crates that can be returned to dealers and re-used from year to year. BIG BEMIDJI QUALITY POTATOES : Standard Box crates made so simple that any Farmers’ Club Asso- ciation at a small expense can saw their own stock from small timber now going to waste on the farms. Box Specifications. 16 pieces, sides and tops 14 inch thick by 3 inches wide by 15 inches long; 8 pieces, ends 34 inches by 3 inches by 154 inches long; 4 pieces, inside cleats 34 inches by 234 inches by 1514 inches long. Note the Precaution. The cubic contents of a dry measure bushel is 2150 42-100 in- ches. [The size crate given in the above dimensions will contain 10 cubic inches over the regulation 1% bushel measure. Potato growers of large quantities will find this manner of marketing a most simple and economical one and will also find that its costs no more to build such crates when they can be used from year to year, than it is to buy sacks, where the potatoes cannot be inspected without empting first. The old sack method of handling also causes bruises to the crop, which cannot occur in crates. Opsahl to Take Lead. The first man to take the initiative, and who has been thor- oughly convinced of the practicability of such marketing is J. J. Opsahl, known throughout the northwest as the “Home Maker.” “Yes, I have ordered 2,000 crates today,” said Mr. Opsahl when asked what he thought of this plan. The fact of the mat- 77 years old. September St. Paul, Minn.—J. J. Hill will be 16. . Five hundrcd veteran employees of the Great Northern railway will meet in Grand Forks, N. D. to honor him. St. Paul.—Five thousand teachers who began service in Minnesota schools this week became automati- cally members of the teachers’ fund retirement association. ~ Under the law creating a pension fund for teach- ers of the state outside the Twin Cities .and Duluth, all beginning to, teach after the law was passed must join and the assessments will be de- ducted from their salaries. It is es- timated that out of the 12,500 teach- ers in the pension fund territory, 5,000 are new this year. St. Cloud , Minn.—The ordination of Joseph Trobec into the Catholic priesthood and the fiftieth anniver- sary of the ordination of Bishop Joseph R. P. Trobec, retired, his uncle, were celebrated at St. Stephen, Minn. Wednesday. St. Cloud, Minn.—Meetings of the mothers clubs of the city have been called to consider the advisability of recommending that the schools be closed because of a reported epidemic of infantile paralysis. The board of health does not consider this meve necessary. The disease has caused one death and a dozen cases of illness. Sioux Falls, S. D.—Charles Bridge of Rapid City didn’t exactly do that stunt of “waiting at the church” but he did dress up in his good clothes, pin a bounteous bouquet on the lapel of his fine new wedding suit cout, and then stand waiting at the home of his bride-to-be (or rather -bride- to-have-been) while that particular young lady took “for better or worse™” one Alan Zolnowsky, a young man of Bon Homme county. Bridge, who was to have married Miss Iilda M. Hammond of Scotland, had arrived several days before the wedding day and all arrangements had been com- pleted for a big wedding and recep- tion. *While he and the assembled guests, also members of the girl's family, waited for the bride to appear HALF BILLION DOLLAR LOAN BEING SOUGHT New York, Sept. 9.—The six Eng- lish and French financiers on their ‘way to this city to borrow a huge sum of money, popularly estimated at half a billion dollars or more, with which to pay for American supplies for the allies armies and other imports from this country, arrived today. It has been learned from unofficial sources that not only would they represent their own countries in negotiations here, but in all probability would act for Russia as well. With England, France and Russia acting in concert in the American money market it was thought today that the matter of floating a large credit loan here would be correspond- ingly simplified. The swelling flood of American ex- ports is pouring out with such a sweep that already Europe is debtor to the extent of a billion dollars or more, and a method must be found soon for paying thke bill. The mini- mum sum which the three govern- ments must borrow here to restore the value of their moneys from present depreciation to normal was estimated at half a billion dollars. Biliousness and Constipation. It is certainly surprising that any woman will endure the miserable feelings caused by biliousness and constipation, when relief is so easily had and at so little expense. ,Mrs. Chas. Peck, Gates, N. Y., writes: “About a year ago I used two bot- ‘ter is that the plan originated with Mr. Opsahl and he is thor- " “oughly satisfied that it will be the coming way. Continuing, he said: “As a starter in this movement I will market our Prairie Lake Farm products and Bass Lake crops of potatoes all packed, graded and sized in 115 bushel crates. I believe also that next ‘year farmers will find it profitable to make up these crates for their own use from wood on their farms that is now going to waste. ' Where the Credit Belongs. “The credit for completing the idea of a proper crate be- longs to the Bemidji High School Manual Training department. It was this department which is directly responsible and Bemidji is and has a right to feel proud of its public schools. Roy Opsahl, a student of this school, personally worked out the crate prob- lem to the satisfaction of those interested in shipping. His sam- ple and idea was selected after an inspection of a number of others submitted by various factories and crating concerns. The box is simple to make and any farmer who has a buzz saw can select enough wood from his 16-inch woodpile to make all the crates he needs.” ’ : Farmers or market men who wish to adopt this new market- ing plan will find in Mr. Opsahl a willing adviser with regard to securing crates and the construction of them. Mr. Opsahl knows just how this should be done and is anxious to lend every assistance. Interested parties' may call on or address, J. J. OPSAHL, ‘Markham Hotel Building.
