OF SALVATION - ARHY CANVASS By President; Reaches Peak August 10 to 18 BEMIDJI WILL HAVE PERMANENT BUILDING State Elk Secretary Will Head Canvass Work of the Antlered Tribe. Bemidji lodge of Elks will have complete charge of the Salvation Army Home Service- drive in district No. 23 and will use every possible means to make the district stand high among the other thirty districts into which the state has been divided. District 23 includes Beltrami, Clear- water, Hubbard and Cass counties, each with its separate quota. Bel- trami is to have permanent building equipment and for that reason has a quota of $6,000. Clearwater county has a quota of $400, Hubbard of $1,000 and Cass of $350. The campaign for the state quota.of $600,000 will reach its in- tensive stage in Mlnn'esyu August 10 ‘to 18. Schmahl State Chairman. * %% Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of state, has accepted the responsibitity of state chairmanship for the cam- ) paign which is a branch of the na- tional campaign for $15,000,000. "H. N. Jeffrey, state campaign director for the Salvation Army, is organiz- ing the state apd is working with the endorsement of many representative men to put Mipnesota‘on'the map in this campaign; ; In the districts in which there are Elk lodges, the Elks, under the supervision of R. F. Eld- ridge, St. Paul; state secretary of ~~--mis-and- editor-of-*The Jolly; EIk,” will canvassand arouse interest in the nation wide move. The Minne- sota quota has been set for $600,000 which is part of the western quota of $7,000,000.. The eastern quota is the same @as.the ‘western quota and -was oversubscribed $4,000,000 in the campaign which has just been con- cluded there. Quotas on Need Base. The United War drive quotas were followed in setting allotments for the drive and are based on the peculiar ~Ai%eds of separate communities. All the money raised in any state will go towards the furthering of home serv- ice work in that state.” The call for er the united war ause’ not a cent of =5 the mone: work for all the overseas work which made poss'iblefendui'ance of adverse war conditions for “our boys” and incidentally ‘won for the Salvation Army the “boost” of every man re- turning from' the service. Allotment for districts vary out of proportion to the difference in popu- lation because of a plan which pro- vides buildings in some districts and not in others with the exception of . one or two where the need is great ) and the pepulation sparse. The dis- tricts which - will have permanent equipment will pay for it with money raised from their own territory. This is over and above their regular allot- ment on the per capita basis used in the United War drive. Wilson is Booster. President Wilson has given his en- dorsement to tne campaign, which is for funds intended to do away with the street corner “begging,” which has been carried on so many years by the Salvation Army. More time for evangelistic work will be given and all forces can be concentrated on the real work of the “Army’’ rather than to the soliciting of money. For ex- ample, in the Rescue Home and Ma- ternity hospital in St. Paul, one of- ficer has been detailed te be out all the time in order:to get funds with which the home carries om: its ex- tensive work for the girls from all over the state. The canipaign ‘will provide a basic fund from whith te work, and will eliminate this waste- ful method.

Martin cf .. park Sunday afternoon to witness the {Jones No. z .. game between Bemidji and Bagley were awarded with a real baseball game all the way through. It was a nip and tuck affair staged by the lo- cals "and “Bagley- and-all the- homi¥; folk ‘went home happy, as thé Davis- men won by a Score or 4 to 2. Sam White was on the firing line. for the locals and he wiggled out of the many holes he put himself in. Time after time the Clearwater coun- ty lads were in a position to make a killing, but on all these occasions tie local hurler had the would-be swat- ters at his mercy. Wildness in the early stages of the game made it ap- pear that he would not last through the struggle, but he fooled all. After the second, he had the visiting boys swinging like a gate when a hit meant a run. Keifenheim took the mound for Bagley and held the Bemidji batters to three hits, but his own inability to hold runners on the bases was largely responsible for his defeat, the locals stealing a total of ten bases. Weinch Clouts Homer. Bagley was the first to score when Weinch hit one for the circuit in the second inning after Hill had flied out. They scored their second and last counter in the third frame. C. Martin drew a walk and B. Mar- tin got a scratch single. A passed ball allowed both men to move up a notch. Courtney skied to Diedrich. Bemidji crossed the rubber fer their first score in the sixth. Died- rich drew a walk. Berrigan fouled out to Larson and Razor fouled »ut to B. Martin. Diedrich stole second and Bush hit a hot one at Courtney which he bobbled just long enough for the runner to beat the throw to first. Diedrich took third on the play and then drew a throw from Porter, who, tried” to get him leading off third, the’ throw getting away from Larson_ allowing him to score with the locals first run. Saueeze Plav Ties Score. A big eighth inning ralky which netted the locals three runs put the game on the cooler for the day. Diedrich was hit by a pitched ball and Berrigan’s attempt to sacrifice put him on second when Keifenlieim threw high to second, both runners being safe. A double steal moved both men up to third and second. Mosier who was sent in to hit for Brazor struck out. A perfectly worked squeeze play on tiue second ball pitched with Bush on the batting end of the play sent Diedrich across with the tieing run. Lawrence’s Drive Does It. With Berrigan on third Lawrence cracked one squarely on the nose for a drive to center scoring Berrigan. On the first ball Lawrence stole sec- ond and third on the second ball, B. Martin throwing high to third. Law- rence scoring on the play by sliding in home on Courtney’s peg home which was too high. The summary: Totals Nason 2b & 3b Diedrich ss . Berrigan rf . Brazor 3b .

IDJI DAILY PIONE FORTY-FIVE _ém\gs PER MONTH .. ‘ Tistorical Administrauun (By United Press) Washington, July 14.—The key- note of the administration defense of the legaue of nations was sounded today in the senate in the speech by Senator Swanson of Virginia who said: “The requirement for concurrance of the United States in every de- cision of.the league of nations coun- cil absolutely guarantees this nation, against surrendering its sover- eignty.” Senator Swanson answered in de- tail every objection to the league covenant. In each instance he point- ed to the provision that each deci- sion of the council must be by unani- mous vote, including that of the Unjted States. “After the council has acted, con- gress still has the power to refuse American acceptance of the coun- cil’'s advice,” declared Swanson. The senator first answered the ob- jection to Article Eight of disarma- ment. “The interest of the United States is amply guarded under this article,” said Senator Swanson. “No general plan of disarmament can be present- ed without our consent and no ob- ligation is imposed upon us without the approval of congress, which is en- trusted with raising armies and na- vies. . “Article Ten, the storm center of the covenant is absolutely necessary to world peace,” continued the speaker ‘“because it is a solemn pledge by all league members to ab- stain from wars of conquest.” The “conquest,” the Monroe doc- trine, Swanson declared, is expressly recognized and reserved in the league covenant as it possibly could be. J. 0. WILL BE PLACED IN G0OD CONDITION WHEN TRIPPERS ARRIVE County-and- City Will-Cooper- ate in Improving Road Leading Into Bemidji. While the campaign on the part of certain outside interests is being waged to divert the Jefferson high- way from touching Bemidji, it being alleged the roads are practically im- possible to drive over both leading into and out of the city, it is more than likely the trippers from New Or- leans and the south will be agreeably surprised when they arrive ... Be- midji on the annual sociability run from New Orleans to Winnipeg and return. arriving in Bemidji July 19, one day behind the schedule. County Surveyor Snyder of the county engineer’s office has consent- ed to place the road highway leading from the south into Bemidji in good condition and also the road leading from the city on its northward route. And an attempt will also be niade to have the city co-operate within the corporate limits. Since the highway has been run through Bemidji, various arguments have been advanced elsewhere for a change in the route, but F. S. Lycan, chairman of the county unit of the highway, has valiently opposed any such m Arrangements are being made to entertain the visitors who will be here July 19, for night con- trol. BAILEY BROS. RECEIVE WARM WELCOME HOME Seldom has the welcome home been more genuine and warm than that wherein Bemidji greeted the Bailey brothers, Earl and Claude, who ar- rived home from Camp Grant, Rock- ford, Tll., this morning having been honorably discharged from the mili- tary services, each having served 17 months overseas, fourteen of which were spent in the battle zones of France. Both are the sons of S. C. Bailey and despite their exciting careers during the *“big fuss” are mighty glad to again be in Bemidji. Earl was driver in the transporta- tion corps and as such handled a five- ton truck. This morning he was driving his fathers’ Ford and having the time of his life trying to manage it. Claude didn’t have such a heavy task, as did his brother, as he drove the car of a high officer. The brothers enlisted together, served practically together and re- turned together, truly an epoch in their young livi UNKNOWN SNEAK THIEF ROBS CANDY KITCHEN: TEARS SCREEN Some unknown sneak thief during Sunday afternoon. gained entrance to the kitchen of Gus Brown’s candy kitchen by tearing a hole in the rear screen door, which opens on the al- ley, thrusting in an arm and unhook- ing the screen.

Society e — TOWNLEY FOUND SHOWING WELL |DefenseSounds|GUILTY BY JURY IN SWEEPSTAKE | From Virginian AFTER 2 HOURS LATE SATURDAY Joseph Gilbert Also Found Guilty; Charge, Conspir acy to Teach Disloyalty. NEITHER ACCUSED SHOWS THE SLIGHTEST EMOTION ‘S‘p'eeches and Nonpartisan League War Program Taken as Basis for Arrests. Jackson, July 14.—The jury in the trial of President A. C. Townley and Joseph Gilbert, Nonpartisan leaguers, late Saturday night found the defen- dants guilty of the charge of conspir- acy to teach digloyalty, in violation of the Minnesota law. Jury Out Two Hours The verdict was read by the clerk of court at 11:63 p, m. The jury was out two hours. Neither Townley nor Gilbert showed any emotion. After receiving the verdict, Town- ley made the following statement: “Judges and lawyers may quibble, but in the court of public opinion the common sense of the people : will never approve & ruling that says a man may merely deny he is disloyal and is forbidden to prove by con- structive testimony that he is loyal.” Denied Disloyalty. The defense asserted that speeches by Townley and Gilbert at mass meeting in Minnesota early in 1918 were not disloyal in their reference to the government and prosecution of the war. These speeches were made the basis of the indictment, together with circulation 'of the Nompartisan - league's so-called®war program, over Townley’s signature. -During - the-‘three ~weeks of. the trial, the defense has made repeated charges that the case is an out- growth of efforts to injure the Non- partisan league. Testimony along this line, and also testimony by Rep- resentative James M. Baer, and North Dakota officials concernihg the loyalty of Townley and the lea- gue, was exclyded by Judge E. C. Dean. v Sentepce Stayed. Judge E. C. Pean granted a stay of sentence until September 15 to permit the props ation of the court record and the’ of- motiens. for a new trial. Dismisses Attorney Townley, standing in a crowded court room, told the judge that he had dismissed his attorney, and that the codefendant, Gilbert, had waived the right of further representation by counsel and that Townley asked for the privilege of spedking on the ground that he felt the Nonpartisan ‘league was on trial. Judge Dean denied Townley’s re- quest to address the jury. KREATZ PUSHING WORK ON CITY HALL CONTRACT Contractor George Kreatz is push- ing the work of remodeling the city building and from the looks of the present status of the work there is to be a marked improvement when finished. In fact, one familiar with the old structure in its entiety will hardly recognize it. Several changes have been made in the location of the municipal offices. The city clerk’s office has been trans- ferred to the former location of the Baker jewelry store, and so has the office of the city engineer, which combines that of water superintend- ent. Chief of Police Essler has moved his headquarters to the fire depart- ment and all are working under a disadvantage. The building is undergoing a com- plete change in the rearrangement of various offices and departments and tne interior will be handsomely finished. The exterior will be stuc- coed and Bemidji may well be proud of its practically new city seat of government. BUY YOUR CHAUTAUOUA TICKETS NOW.
