ENORMOUS PROFITS FOR SUGAR REFINERS Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 3.—Profits of about $900,000 on an investment of $500,000 were made by one beet sugar refinery in Southern Califor- nia last year, while beet growers lost money, according to a telegram sent to President Wilson and Food Administrator Hoover by District At- torney Thomas Lee Woolwine, as re- sult of a county grand jury investi- gation of the sugar beet growing in- dustry. Another refinery with an invest- ment of $1,250,000 made a net profit of between $900,000 and $1,000,000 on prices much lower than those ap- proved recently by the government, the telegram said. Farmers are re- . fusing to plant beets, and relief for the serious situation can come only from government action, it was stated. HOUSEWIVES’ LEAGUE WILL SERVE NEXT C. C.

TEAM T e it wet thavers| LIGHT GARB STARTS Thief River Falls, Dec. 3.—The high school football team of Thief River Falls is out after a game with any team which can lay claim a clear title to district honors in any dis- trict outside of the Sixth and Ninth, in which districts the local team is now the champion. The title to the Ninth district was won by defeating Fosston, which in turn had defeated Red Laks Falls. Last week Bemidji came here ex- pecting to win but was defeated and lost the championship of the north- ern part of the state which it held by having; defeated the other teams in the Sixth district. This was the first defeat for Be- midji for such honors for three years and was a blow to Coach Diedrich. His defeat put a feather in the cap of Coach Roberts of the local team, as his team is composed mostly of players who have had little practice. The only exceptions which the lo- cal team is making is a Twin City or Duluth team. BEST CHEESE EVER A few days ago Conrad LaJambe sent a 50-pound cheese addressed to Lieut. E. A. Barker of the battle- ship Massachusetts, the gift being for the Bemidji boys on the Kansas and Massachusetts. A card acknowl- idging the gift from Lieut. Barker says the cheese arrived O. K. and that it was the ‘“best cheese in the world.” Needless to add on the card that the cheese had been devoured. R. C.

Gorgas, reporting on his investigation of the epidemic of measles and prevalence of pneu- monia at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga., declared that the number of cases of measles was decreasing, but express- ed the fear “that we may be begin- ning here an epidemic of septic pneu- monia.” ‘When General Gorgas made his in- spection of the camp last week there had been approximately 3,000 cases of measles among the 22,000 south- erners at the camp and 300 cases of pneumonia with about sixty deaths from the latter in the past month. General Gorgas reports that the tendency to pneumonia probably was increased by the men being exposed to cold weather for a month in their summer clothing. About two-thirds of the 22,000 men now have been supplies with woolen garments, he states. Mrs. Goodheart of Akeley, who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Bert Rodman, and family during Thanksgiving, returned to her home Saturday. MERCHANT’S WIFE ADVISES BEMIDJI WOMEN “I had stomach trouble so bad I could eat nothing but toast, fruit and hot water. Everything else soured and formed gas. Dieting did no good. I was miserable until I tried buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL benefited me INSTANT- LY.” Because Adler-i-ki empties BOTH large and small intestine it relieves ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas and prevents ap- pendicitis. It has QUICKEST action of anything we ever sold. City Drug Store.—Adv. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER : CLASSIFIE FOR SALE—Lurge touring car 'in good running order. All tires new.
