Y STATE OFFICIAL URGES AGAINST CHEAP PRICES St. Paul, Sept. 19.—A prediction’ that government estimates will show less than normal crop of potatoes .and a warning to Minnesota grow- ers to sell potatoes only on a good -market, was issued by Hugh Hughes, -market -director of the state depart- -ment of agriculture. The Minnesota late crop of pota- toes ranges from the 1918 average “to 75 per cent of normal, he said, yet {it is fully as good as any in tue coun- try according to the best informa- tion. Many sections of the state which annually raise their own sup- ply will be on the buying market ve- fore winter and a similar .condition will prevail in Iowa and adjoining states, the director asserted. “Reports indicate that speculators are contracting for potatoes now at prices well below the market level,” continued Mr. Hughes, “although no Thome or outside situations .point to such contrasts as desirable or profit- able to the potato grower. The de- partment believes that normal mar- Kket levels will be sufficiently high to insure good returns to growers at any time before the new crop of next Year begins to move.” -RURAL TEACHERS ARE SCARCE. NORTH DAKOTA Fargo, N. D., Sept. 19.—There is a shortage of rural school teachers in North Dakota this fall. For the first time in the history of the state, ads have been inserted in the ‘‘want” «columns of newspapers calling ' for teachers. Salaries ‘have been in- creased from five to fifteen dollars, but the inducement came.too late, many teachers have forsaken their profession for better paid fields. Nine schools in Ramsey county are still closed because no teachers can be found. . BEMIDJI BEMIRJI, MINN, ¥ | GENTILE SENTENCED TO |{GIVE DUCKS CHANCE stated.

Gentile was a draft evader and was arrested by Sheriff Johnson. To escape punishment he entered the service and wore his uniform in court in the hopes of exciting favor at the hands of the jury. . In the grand jury list at this term of court .the following were indicted for illegal liquor selling or. gambling: Indicted on liquor charges: Clar- ence Lovalley, Wililam Young, Johm Kyler, -Joseph Tiebault; ~“Elmer B Morehead, Peter Anderson, Frank North, William McDermid, Peter Billedeau, John Tassady, James] Kelly, John Blow, Charles Sears; Marie Thompson and Frank Gagnon.

'TO FEED.’ IS APPEAL St. Paul, Minn.,, Sept. 19.—“Give the ducks a chance to feed.” That’s the appeal the state game and fish department and leading sportsmen are sending out by word and message to hunters over the northwest. In Minnesota several thousand acres have been set aside for feeding grounds for the game birds. The aim is to set aside big feeding grounds for. winged games in every county in the state. Ducks fly from one feed- ing ground to another every morning and evening, the game department points out, and if hunters are pepper- ing it at the mat the feeding ground all the ‘time they will never come near. ' On-theé other hand, ducks will become more numerous if they are permitted: ta .feed. There are more ducks killed off by weather condi- tions and lack of good feeding and nesting - grounds :every year, than through any other cause, it was PRIZE IS DOUBLED The automobile race, scheduled for the afternoon of the last day of the Beltrami county -fair, has been “sweetened” in the size of the first prize from $10 to $20 for the win- ner, and instead of having to travel five miles, the distance has been re- Second prize will be $5, and three starters are An added feature to the auto races Entries should be in the hands of 1 as possible. “Chad” NEW ARMOUR MANAGER.

Stanton will be speaker of the evening, while Clarence Foucault will act as presiding officer. Ray Hannah’s male quartet will sing. The American Legion was the first to endorse such organization 'and named H. M. Stanton, comms ..der of the Ralph Gracie post; Hallan Huff- man and T. C. Bailey as a committee representing the post. In sending out a letter to members of various lodges, the letter says in part: “Fraternalism World Hope.” “Fraternalism is. the hope of the world. It is the one thing that-can lift a man to the highest pinnacle of mental, moral and social achieve- Fnrent.- It is the-bright star of hope in a world just beginning to emerge from the chaos of war, and has ached its zenith in the countless fraternities of America. Fraternal- ism must be the solvent for racial differences, class strife, social unrest, and numerous other diverse factors which enter into American life. The one great question is: “Are the fra- ternal societies prepared to assume these obligations and fulfill the duties incumbent upon them?” “Bemidji has its share of fraternal organizations. Every one of them is good. Each plays an enviable part in the various fraternal activities of the city. As individual organizations their work is quite complete. . But what wowid you think of an asso- ciation “constituted of all fraternal organizations of the city, which met, say once every month or 8o to dis- cuss the general fraternal policies of the community? There seems to be an especial need for just such an organization in Bemidji. The truth is, none of the fraternal societies know quite enough of what their brother societies aim to do, and are doing. Wouldn't it be far better if there was a general system of ¢o- operation between all fraternal so- cieties? Wouldn’t all men better understand one afiother? . And wouldn't {t be the real way to secure a maximum of fraternal effi¢fency?
