That Northern Minnesota is - the garden spot of the world was. again proven at the Minnesota State Fair when several of the Northern Minne- sota counties took all the leading prizes. In the decision to strengthen the coast defenses by installing 16-inch guns in place of the 14-inch guns now in use, is proof of the success of the recent experiments with the larg- er weapon. AN early predictions of the ship registry - act have been fully justi+ fled. ‘The American flag floats over more trading ships now than at any othen time -sinece 165.. During the year there was an increase of 363 ships of a total of 2,768 ships registered. ‘There was & noticeable stimulation: in-the ship building business. The ship registry act is one piece of federal legislation which has been; entirely successful. Northern Minnesota is a paradise for those red-blooded people who love the simple life and through coming; into direct contact with the simple things in nature forget their.cares i life and regain their = health vigor, says the:Aurora News.

Fifteen persons were recently ex- amined to test their fitness for office of director of education and pub- lcity in the Lealth department. Each applicant had to compose an original verse, epigram or pithy paragraph, the prize for the best to be $2,700 a year. Dr. Arthur M.

The state fores-| ter-and his; aides may, no: doubt, be countzd on to do their utmost to pre- vent disaster. But they are handi- capped greatly by the action of the last legislature cutting down the ef- fective force of men. They have far more territory to guard than they can possibly look after. Under the -leadership of Senator Rockne, of Goodhue county the senate undertook to punish the Forestry De- partment for its work in helping to pass Amendment Number Nine, mak- ing reforestration of non-agricultural lands possible. The reduction of the appropriation to a scant forty thou- sand-dollars, in place of the seventy- five thousand dollars heretofore granted, and in place of double the amount needed for effective organiza- tion, was a piece of petty and short- sighted revenge. It is greatly to be hoped that those responsible for it will not have to face a forest fire disaster as a result of their action. EREKEKERE KX IR KKK * BOILED NEWS, hd KR KKK KKK XK KKF XK New York—The Russian steamer Dwingk, which arrived here from Archangel, reported being detained six days outside of Archangel while trawlers swept the German mines from the channel entrance. After sailing the Dwinsk passed north of Ireland and did not sight any German war vessels, Berlin.—A statement given out by the Overseas news agency quotes the ‘Weserzeitung of Bremen as saying that the British steamer Southland, serving as a transport, was torpedoed recently in Turkish waters. The news agency says: “The Weserzeitung of Berlin points out that the transport Southland was torpedoed in Turkish waters. The Southland formerly was the Red Star liner Vaderland. The steamer flew the Belgian flag up to the time of the occupation of Belgium and then sailed under the American flag. Now the Southland, which lately was flying the American flag, suddenly was changed ‘into a British transport.” ‘Washington.—Secretary Lansing has announced that Gen. Carranza’s reply to the Pan-American peace ap- peal is expected today. The secre- tary had received no advices as to its nature but one report indicated. that Carranza will decline to a joint con- ference of the Mexican factions. As soon as Carranza’s answer is received a meeting of the Pan-American con- ferees will be called. Chicago.—Right Reyv. Paul P. Rhode, auxiliary bishop and viear general of the archdiocese of.Chicago and pastor of the St. Michael’s Polish Catholic church here, has received the papal bulls from Rome officially. pro- claiming him bishop of the diocese of Green Bay, Wis. Paris.—Neutral nations are justi- fied in protesting against war because they are its victims, according to the opinion of Dr. Giuseppe Motta, president of Switzerland. London.—Commenting upon the changes in the Russian high com- mands the Petrograd correspondent of the Times thinks the appointment of General Polivanoff, minister of war, as premier, will be announced soon. Other papers suggest that the appointment of the grand duke as commander in chief in the Caucasus implies a new vigorous offensive against Turkey. New York.—Gustav Stahl, the Ger- man reservist, who swore he saw four guns on the Lusitania before she sailed from here on her last trip, but later admitted his afidavit was false and entered a plea of guilty to perjury, was sentenced by Federal Judge Hough to 1 months imprison- ment -in the Federal prison at At- lanta and to pay a fine of $1.

The high school team held its first practice yesterday afternoon and as Coach Bestul has a bunch of good material it is certain that Bemidji will have one of -the fastest high schools teams in the northern part of the state. BRAVES AFTER PENNANT Brooklyn again has a little edge on the Braves in the National league race, while Philadelphia increased its lead in first place. However, with Captain Evers back in the game after a five-day suspension, Manager Stal- ‘| lings of the Braves believes he is in a good position to defeat the Superbas and decide the race, either on the road, or in their final series with the Phillies at the Braves field the last of this month. TENNIS EXPERTS SEEK REVENGE Revenge! Eastern 'lawn tennis players today will have their last chance to get revenge for the series of defeats they have suffered so far this season from the players of the west. William M. Johnston of San Francisco, the new champion, is matched with R. Norris Williamg of Philadelphia, the defeated champion. BARTON PICKS GIBBONS Down in Minneapolis, George Bar- ton, sport editor for the News, has come to the conclusion that Mike Gibbons should win from Packey McFarland in their scrap at New York tomorrow night. Barton says, McFarland’s long layoff has not done him any good. While not given to dissipation Packey has been living easy during the past 18 months, eat- ing what he liked and keeping irreg- ular hours. It is impossible for a fighter to return to the ring after an absence of a year and a half-and show his former skill and stammia. Me- Farland has not got a thing on Gib- bons for speed. PACKEY IN LAST FIGHT From New York comes the report that Packey McFarland will fight his last fight Saturday night. And it's authentic, too, for Mrs. McFarland, Packey’s real manager, has sent out the ultimatum. Mrs. McFarland never did approve of the “squared circle” as a vocation for her husband, and just about four- teen. months ago, when they were married; the boxer made a solemn promise—!‘Never again.”” Mrs. Me- Farland’s: displeasure over the com- ing match-was very_evident from the first. “This time—it is ‘Never again,’” she announced briefly. “The lure of the game may be Packey’s excuse, but $17,500 for thirty minutes is prob- ably the real reason for his breaking his promise to me. However, I'm to get that purse. And I've spent the money already—two hats and an au- tomobile.” Mrs. McFarland has never seen her husband box. And she-won’t see him box with Gibbons. “I shall wait here at the hotel un- til I hear the returns,” Mrs. McFar- land announced indifferently. BASKETBALL STAR. T0 RETURN University of Minnesota basketball prospects took -a big jump by the news that Francis Stadsvold, captain of the university team of 1913-14 would return to the university. Stadsvold needs one year more to fia- ish his law course at the university: He played on the Gopher team for three years as center and forward and is considered one of the best play- ers in the west.
