BEMDJI FISH WVOLUME XVHI. NO. 117 HATCHERY PLAN - EXPLAINED BY CARLOSAVERY Commissioner of Game and Fish Gives Interesting Talk ; “to Association "“THOMAS PORTE ALSO DELIVERS FINE SPEECH «Committee Report’ Heard on Local Arrangements Sum- mer Meet of N.M.D.A. > Very clearly did Carlos Avery, state game and fish commissioner for Min- nesota, explain to the members of the Bemidji Civic and Commerce associa- tion at it meeting on Wednesday fol- lowing the noon-day luncheon .the plans being made for the Bemidji fish hatchery located at the dam on the _Mississippi near the Minnesota Elec- tric Light & Power company’s plant. The hatchery has been operated for several years in a small way but until recently has never been very much of a success. All credit for what has been accomplished is due to the local citizens whi were very active in keeping it up. Aid has not been se- cured to make this hatchery a per- manent proposition which is now in -operation to a large extent but not entirely completed. It is already near- filled with wall-eyed pike eggs. When fully completed and operating to ca- ‘pacity it will contain 400 hatching jars with a total of 150 million pike eggs. As- yet, the hatchery is being used for hatching wall-eyed pike only. Possibly some time later white fish may he.hatched to some extent. At the Red Lake hatcheries white- fish are.being hatched for food sup- ply. Approximately 90 million Pike eggs have been taken from Wolf Lake and 80 million from Turtle River re- cently and the mapority of these have ‘been placed in the Bemidji hatchery. Minnesota’ Hag Most Pike ™ More wall-eyed pike are hatched in Minnesota than in all the remaining states together. Minnesota is to co- operate with the federal government -and with other states and is furnish- ing them with pike eggs and receiv- ing in return- varieties of fish which are not common here. There are at -present in- the state 8 tisheries for ‘wall-eyed pike and in another year there should be twice as many. . Whitefish Lake near Brainerd is to * have a hatchery similar to the one "here at Bemidji this summer.

Than Ever RS With a land-clearing educational .campaign now under full headway, Minnesota, in the next few years will become a much greater ‘“Bread and Butter” state than she is today. There are more than 15,000,000 fertile acres of cut-over land in Min- nesota to be cleared—an area just .about equaling the combined total area of four of the New England states, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. To hasten the civilization of this vast domain of productive soil is the object of a special land clearing dem- +.omstration train which soon will leave St Paul and visit about twenty-five towns in the logged-off segtions of middle northern and northeastern sinnesota. During those five trips 100,000 farmers were instructed in the proper use of dynamite and stump pulling machinery. As a result of these dem- .onstrations in Wisconsin during 1918 700,000 pounds of dynamite were ,used there for land clearing and last ‘year 1,600,000 pounds was shot off for the same purpose, or three times .23 much explosive as was used for stump blowing in the state of Minne- sota. This year, Wisconsin, the dy- namite sales for stump blowing ex- «<eed 2,500,000 pounds. Since upper Minnesota must be de- veloped through the use of dynamite ‘the use of dynamite and stump’ pull- ing devices, the state itself is regard- ed as the proper source of educational -work to this end. It, therefore be- comes the duty of the state to dissem- jnate knowledge of the proper use of / these instruments for the clearing of this stump land. SENATE VOTES ON KNOX .

CARRANZA ESCAPED BY BREADTH OF HAIRS (By United Press.) -~SunAntonio, Tex., May 13—Presi- d&nt Carranza’s escape from the revo- Iationists in Mexico was by the breadth of hairs, according to reports received here.

The president hastily cut off his beard and. mustache and walked through the lines unknown to his followers, it was said.

Their statement that there are more men applying for work each morning is substantiated by patrolmen on duty near the mills. To Start Night Shift. Preparation in expectation of re- suming a night shift shortly has been begun by the Rainy Lake Lumber company. Many of those who took part in the walkout will not return to work very soon. Some have left and have taken up employment on farms and in the mines. Since the beginning of the strike the W. T. Bailey Lumber company’s mill has not lost an hour. This mill is picketed the same as the Virginia & Rainy Lake, but the strike is evi- dently directed against the larger concern. The lath mill of the J. Neils Lum- ber company resumed operations yes- terday on the ten-hour basis. This branch of the mill employes about thirty men. There is no further change in the local situation. Contrary to a re- port circulated in International Falls, the Bemidji mills have not in any way changed their attitude and have no intentions of opening excepting on their outlinéd policy.

LEGION BASEBALL IS TO HAVE SUPPORT OF FIRST CLASS PLAYERS All That Is Lacking Now Is Financial Support From This City Expected to arrive in Bemidji on Saturday is an exceptionally strong battery for the American Legion team which is to represent the Ralph Gracie post during the coming season. First of next week five more players are due to arrive to strengthen the nine for the games this summer and these men, together with the local support, will be brought into shape to whip Crosby in tne game at the ball park next week, Friday. For a pitcher, Art Taylor of Madi- son, Wis.,, has been secured. He pitched for the Headquarters troop of the Thirty-second division and has an admirable record while out of the service. Over Lane, star pitcher for Crosby, he is said to have won three shut-out victories, These men will have an opportunity for another try next week, and the outcome promises to be favorable to-Bemidji fans. A catcher who has been connected with the American Association has been secured and with this battery Be- midji should have a team that can beat the best of them. Financial support is sorely needed now and to secuxe this Manager Fred Bost is soliciting support from the citizens of Bemidji who are live wires and who take great interest in ath- letics. Considerable expense will be involved by putting a first class team in the field this year but with hearty support the team is sure to make good for the Legion and themselves.

PARENTS BLAMED FOR INCREASED JUVENILE DELINOUENCY Average Father and Mother Find Complexities of Children Too Great (By International News Service) Oakland, Cal.,, May 13.—The start- ling increase in the number of cases of juvenile delinquency is due to the failure of parents to keep step with their children. A This declaration was maae by Po- lice Chief Volimer, in addressing a mother’s club meeting here. The age which has put jazz in mu- sic, business and domestic pursuits and made the nervous system a lia- bility instepd of an asset, the Chief ; asserted, must send the parents to school lest the child outdistance his elders to the hall of fame or the pen- itentiary. TO INVITED GUESTS Seriés of Eight Dinners Served Under Directorship of Miss Meisch Miss Florence Meisch, director of the home economics department of the public schools, and the girls of the cooking, classes, have just com- pleted the . serving of a series of eight dinners. These dinners have been prepared and served by the girls in that department, to their invited friends. The purpose has been to give the girls the real training in preparing and serving a meal in tasty and pleasing manner, and the girls have certainly succeeded in do- ing so. Last evening a six o’clock dinner of four courses was served to the members of the school board and their wives, and a few other friends. The dinner was prepared in a most excellent manner and served to the entire satisfaction of all present. A centre piece tastefully fashioned of arbutus, graced the table, and the dainty place cards were hand painted in the same flower. “The complexities of childhood are too much tor the average father or mother, who does not delve down into the cause of things,' 'said the Chief. “Moreover, the average person is not equipped with scientific knowledge to diagnose situations that may arise. It takes an expert trained in such matters, and for that reason a public bureau where parents may bring their children and their problems would not only help the individual but the community at large.” Such a bureau, the Chief sald, imlght either be connected with the school or police departments. Almong the various types of chil- g dren which the Chief declared, such a bureau could ‘‘treat” are the pre- cocious, nervous, fildgety, thieving, lazy, lying irritable and trouble- making boy or girl. “All of these characteristics are defects which if taken in time migat be overcome or if cultivated will lead to serious results in the future,” said the chief. *It is necessary that the child of today be studied and correct- ed so that the criminal of tomorrow be not nurtured.” Miss Meisch and the girls are to be most highly commended for the excellent work they are doing. FLOUR DECLINES FIFTY CENTS BARREL The first drop in flour since Febru- ary came yesterday in Minenapolis when it declined 50 cents a barrel.
