WALKER AND BEMIDJI " towmship, MAY STAGE THE THIRD GAME FRIDAY NIGHT Will Be Played at Cass Lake on Neutral Floor; Hot Contest Expected To decide the outcome of the con- troversy between Walker High school and Bemidji High school a third bas- ketball game will be staged Friday night of this week at Cass Lake. 1he first game between these aggrega- tions resulted in a victory for Be- midji on'its own_.floor by a score of 25 to 9. When Bemidji traveled to Walker last Saturday, Walker won by a count of 22 to 11. Walker will make every effort to clean up the third game and will journey to Cass Lake with a large crowd of boosters who it is believed will try to “bluff”’ the referee again as was reported to have been done at Walker. Bemidji fans should turn out to make the trip witu the boys and back up the team for all they are worth for it appears to be a cinch that Bemidji can beat Walker in a fair 'shake. : The first game played at Bemldji was well staged and very fairly refer- eed by Frank ‘Hall of Little Falls, who also refereed at the game last Saturday night at Walker. Hall tries to be fair and square to both teams and if left alone will be, but when the crowd tries to run the game a visiting referee is in a rather poor position. A It might be remembered when Walker came here and was far out- classed by the Bemidji High ‘outfit, the fans from that “burg” threatened to get even when Bemidji-called on them. They are even.for the p_rmnt} but if the local team f5 mot given good support by the local fans.for the game at Cass Lake this week, they will not be even long.. : NEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS * FAILED N APPROVAL Petitions for the organization of new school districts at the Kitchie Lake territory and in Big Grass I failed to meet with the approval of the county board of edu- cation at the meeting held by that %ody on Monday, since the valuation of the proposed district in either case Is too low to support a school. The petition for a new school building in the Hopkins’ community in the town of Washkish about 12 miles north of Kelliher was granted. 2. W. Gehron has granted the school board an acre of his land for the school grounds. The new school will be a frame building 18 by 24 feet and will be known as the Balsam' Ridge school. {t will accomodate about 14 childrep’ living 'in that district at present. N Besides several other matters of importance, bills amounting to $2,- 506.556 were allowed by the board for the unorganized territory. CAMPBELL WILL TALK TAXATION AT LUNCHEON Attorney G. W. Campbell will talk regarding the taxauon on Bemidji real estate at the business session of the Bemidji Civic and Commerce as. sociation gpllowing the regular week- 1y noon-day luncheon tomorrow. Dis- cussion on this subject will also be open for all present. Several matters of importance will be brought up at this meeting and it 1s u¥ged that the attendance be large. An excellent menu has been arranged for the luncheon. $13.795 SCHOOL OUOTA (By United 'Press) St. Paul, March 2.—Superintend- ent of Education McConnell sent to county auditors today, the apportion- ments of the state school aid fund, totaling over $1,150,000 distributed on a basis of $2.70 per pupil. ‘This gives Beltrami county, with 5,109 pupils an allotment of $13,- 794.30. WAGING WAR ON ELEPHANTS South African Farmers Have Con- demned Them for Their Destruc- tion of Irrigation Canals. One of the many after-war shortages that the world will have to suffer, but which will not prove the hardship that other {acks have impressed upon the ;;o:le.“u that of African elephants, all because the ghty pachy- derms,” as the circus .l‘:l.iL say, have sppropriated the frrigation canals in southern Africa for their own parti- culsr bath tubs, gnd when they plunge fnte the cooling' water to enjoy their dipe, they are not particular about the manper in which they tread about the @ams and bapks. As a result much damage has been done and the agri- culturists have been waging a relent- Jess war on the ponderous and destruc- five animals. Many housewives who have male members of the family of the “spiashing” variety can appreciate the feelings of a South African farmer. when he views the clutter left by the elephants. Recent reports say that ;;Jp0 more elephants remain in Zululand, that southern Rhodesia’s. herds have sen wiped out and that few are left fo the eastérn Transvasl.

NEW ALDERMEN ARE SEATED IN CITY COUNCIL (Continued from Page One.) only, and the license committee had little to do.for the reason all appli- cations were acted upon by the entire council. pensed with. Chief Dailey is on the job regularly and in charge of its affairs. New Council Sets In. The new council got down to busi- ness Monday evening, and from the opening session it looked as though the municipal body would co-operate in the interests of the city, its peo- ple and its progress. Mayor Johnson occupied his chair, and President Vandersluis of - the council presided. The newly elected precinct repre- sentatives occupied their seats, as the old council members were called in the last session to terminate the legal closing of the former administration, and formaly adjourned. Reconven- tion of the new body was then called. Boyce Vice-President. The first action of the council was the appointment of Alderman Boyce of First ward, successor of Dr. Gar- lock, as vice president of the muni- cipal body for the coming year. An oil, company asked the’ council for a site on Lake Bemidji near the foot of Third street, for the location of an oil tank station. The site asked for proved to be adjoining the site of the proposed new armory and it was decided to not grant the request under those circumstances, and the oil company will be so notified. It was also considered that an oil warehouse woula not be an. attrac- tion to the lake shore in the business part of the city. N It also developed at the session that the reticent fire chief, Charles Dailey, had been commissioned by the state fire marshal’s office as deputy state fire marshal, and as such is em- powered to administer and enforce the fire laws of the state statutes personally. City Treasurer George Rhea sub- mitted his surety bond in the sum of $20,000 and City Clerk Stein also subgpitted his surety bond. Street Change Solved. The committee ,which has been named to adjust the paving matter, affecting the two corner lots, owned by D. S. Mitchell, at the southeast intersection of Bemidji avenue and Tenth street, to allow the slope in a turn over to Doud avenue to connect with the state road, reported that a satisfactory arrangement had beén made. Mr. Mitchell was allowed $1,025 for damages to his two corner lots on the fronts, and the city will put in the concrete walks and curbs as an added compensation for the shortcomings. It is reported that Mr. Mitchell will then use the money re- ceived from the city to purchase the two lots adjoining. the south of his holdings involved, and, in addition, the chopping off of the corner will leave a small triangle intersection that will be parked as an ornament. ST. PAUL REGISTRATION BEING HELD TODAY St. Paul, March 2.—Today was the first registration day in St. Paul for the municipal primaries stated for March 16. Another registration day is set for March 9. Mayor Laurence C. Hodgson is a candidate for re.elec- tion. He is opposed by William Ma- Gutterson. U. S. METHODS URGED BY WORLD RED CROSS (By United Press) Geneva, March 2.—American ideals put into practice promised to feature discussions today at- the opening of the first meeting of the general coun- cil of the League of Red Cross So- cities here. Pointing to the membership record of the Red Cross, held by the United States, delegates were almost unani- mous in asserting methods used by American leaders in enrolling 26 per cent of the population of the United States as members of the Red Cross will be adopted by societies in other countries when the peacetime pro- gram has been decided on. Henry P. Davison, head of the American Red Cross and chairman of the league, was to preside at the meetings during the 8-day session. Thirty nations were to be rep- resented. In addition to the election of five additional governors, the main busi- ness to come up at the league meet- ing, one to be held at the capital of the league of nations, will likely be plans for the improvement of public health and prevention of diseale throughout the world, Methods of practical application of the principals of the convention at Cannes 'last April, when leading scientists. of various countrjes were convoked to study the general plan for co-ordinating the work of the in. dividual Red Cross societies, likely will be worked out.
