It tells what Beltrami county is. It tells the story mutely and is one of the most convincing 'endorsements ever set up- on Beltrami and its red-blooded far- mers, Strong Endorsement. A representative of the Pioneer had the pleasure of meeting 8. B. Cle- land of the University farm, assist- ant leader of the county agricultural agents of the state of Minnesota. He happened to be in this part of the state on business and ‘‘dropped over” to see the fair. ‘“That’s one of the best displays of crop products I ever saw,” he re- marked in the course of a conversa- tion. “It shows what:the soil of this 1 certainly am sur- prised.” There is an endless variety of agri- cultural exhibits. The potatoes are a revelation, Pumpking as large as a tub are there, squash, nearly as big, And ‘evérythiig that can possibly be grown is_there and .all -big, and healthy, ° 5 7 Rural Schools Interesting. ™y ; One of the features is the agricul® tural showing ot the Beltrami county rural . schools, and Superintendent Stewart is justly proud of his boys and girls. They have a remarkable display of potatoes, corn and other garden and field products, alk grown by the youngsters on home gardens, J. J. McCurdy, county agricul- tural agent for the Northern District of Beltrami, Baudette, is also present with large displays, while County Agent A. W. Aamodt, Bemidji, is also ‘there”” with one of the best showings in the annals of the fair. Farmers’ clubs are vieing with displays along field and garden crops and there's going to be a difficult task for the judges. Individual entries are in profusion, coming from miles distafit in the county, and if ever Beltrami county's agriculture was on dress parade it is at the fair. One of the best displays of agricul- tural work done by pupilsis that of the Bemidji schools, directed by Har- ry Olin, agricultural director of the schools, It demonstrates what proper aducation along these lines can pro- duce and the showing is splendid. The county schools are again a big feature. In some instances, however, they are not up to the usual standard in certain lines, for the reason the pupils have been exerting their ener- gies toward helping the government in its various campaigns, less time being devoted to preparation of fair displays of handiwork. They have been engaged in Red Cross work, Thrift Stamp campaigns; and all ac-! tivities in kind where they could be! of service. Yet that have taken time to also contribute their efforts to co-operation with the fair, and have made a remarkable showing, some of their work being of domestic and per- sonal service and show their adept- ness in varfous lines. All Grades Exhbit. ! All grades of the county schools from the first to the eighth have ex-/ hibits. There are two classes, pa- triotic -and regular displays. High schools are also included. The work of ;installing these exhibits was un- der the direction of Miss Jessie Pend- ergast, who teaches north of Bemidji, in Dist. 48, and Miss Christa Wal- lace, who teaches Dist. 10, west of Bemidji. Turtle River has a splen- did display, so has Ketliher and Dist. 25, near Solway. Hines also is well represented, and Dist 10 has an in- teresting exhibit, showing the handi- work of the pupils in fashioning gar- mbents for feminine wear, lace trim- ming, also handwork. . Swenson Lake is another that is good to see. Frohn Farmers’ club has an attrac- tive booth. The Wideawake Far- mers' club and the Pleasant Valley farmers also have attractive booths. From Red Lake comes the Central Farmers’ club with another elabor- ate booth. Summit farmers are also there with a pretty booth. The Bet. ter Farming club shows {ts belief in its club name, and Bemidji Township ““~May Be Ours TANKS WILL ALSO BE ; ‘“Bemidji Day" at the' Beltramilare loyal. . The Northern.

The county agent has headquarters in the Exposition building and is ready ‘to welcome farmeérs at any time. There is a Y. M. C. A. booth, Red Cross booth and various other booths, - On the grounds the Red Cross has the serving concession. The showing of poultry is also a big feature and farm stock also in- dicates improvements in all lines. Programs of sports feature the af- ternoons and taking it all around the fair is well worth attending. ———Buy Liberty Bondg—— BREWERS’ ACTIVITIES IN POLITICS ORDERED: POLITICAL HAND SEEN Washington, Sept. 20.—Investiga. tion of political and propaganda act- ivities of the brewing interests has been ordered by the senate. It will be directed particularly at charges that the brewers have bought a Washington newspaper,. contributed unprecedented spms’‘to’ campaign funds; fnfluenced newspapers through advertising contracts, paid money to citizens and even government offidials ‘i “obtained pledges from members Of, congress,. .. ( Arthur Brigbane,'owner and editor of the Washington Times announces that he bought the Times with money loaned to him by the brewers. Other charges in the resolution in- clude allegations that in order to con- trol state and Federal legislation the brewers have exalted pledges from candidates “‘including congressman and United States senators,” such pledges being on file; that to influ- ence public opinfon the brewing in- terests have subsidized the press, stipulating in advertising contracts that a certain amount of space he given in editorials, ‘‘the literary ma- terial for the space being provided from the brewers’ central office in New York."” The resolution further recites that in order to suppress expressions of opinion hostile to their trade and po- litical interests, the brewers ‘“have" get in operation an extensive system of bhoycotting of American manufac- turers, merchants, railroads and other interests,” and that a political organ- ization has been erected to carry out their purposes. ——Buy Liberty Bonds- DRAFTEES MAY JOIN NAVY: LATEST ORDER Washington, Sept. 20.—Provost Marshal Gen: Crowder has announced orders to local draft boards which will permit the voluntary induction of draft registrants into the navy and marine corps and provide for drafts of men to be assigned to those serv- ices of yoluntary inductions do not suffice to fill the demand. Calls for men for the navy will go out before the end of this morith and marine corps contingents will be call- ed within a few weeks. The order quoting sections of the military service include the marine. corps, .announces that. . rate calls hereaftér will be iss to secure men for all divisions of the service. State quotas will be alloted to fill the marine and naval require- ments. After a call has been issued marine and navy recruiting officers may ask for the voluntary induction of men t fill the call, If the total is not secur- ed by that method, the boards will order sufficient men forward to make up the guota. - The men will be mob- ilized and transported In the same manner as are those of the national army. Men responding either to the in- daction or call methods will be count- ed upon the state’s guota as having been furnished for the nation’s mili- | tary needs. higher for naval'needs and the order directs that local Boards shall select | no man for the navy who-cannot use irully the English language and who, { has not a complete status as a ¢itizen {of the United States.
