Sievert Umpire—Phe! ¢ Sunday’s game with Art Taylor and Cushman forming the battery for the locals and Stovern and Narvison for McIntosh, a very uneven match was played. Many errors were committed by the Bemidji team and together “with the heavy hitting of McIntosh, the locals lost the game without even - making one run. McIntosh’s battery proved very effective and although Taylor was a match for ‘Narvison he lacked the necessary support to hold the visitors down. - . Nielson scored for McIntosh in the first and Stovern and Kapus in the second. The remaining two runs by McIntosh were made. in the eighth frame by Narvison and Nason. Inning after inning Bemidji tried to come back but failed to bring in a run apparently due to the fact that the heavy hitters were not bunched for ps.

And they were all healthy people apparently, too, judging from the amount of ‘‘grub’ they got away with. Over 800 pounds of fish were consumed, 48 snllona of coffee and other commodities in like proportion. ‘The speeches made by G. G. Winter and Constant-Larson were most ap- propriate and reflected the great in- terest being tdken in the Northern portion of the state by the various twin city organizations and individ- uals of thescentre of the state, The great pronplerity of the agricultural classes had been brought about large- ly by -individual initiative guaran- teed- under the great national and state constitutions. and augmented by the institutions of our state and nation which have been founded and maintained, said Mr. Larson, and it is our duty to see that such con- stitutions and institutions are main- tained in the face of all opposition. Considering the fact that the com- mittee in charge of the arrangements were handicapped at every turn by reason of so many business men be- ing unable to lend their support be- cause of being crippled in their busi- ness. by the absence of some member -of ‘their force whro were in the en- ‘campment, they are.to be congratu- lated on the manner in which they handled the convention. Much credit is due to Messrs. D. S. Mitchell, John Wilcox, E. J. Willets, Chas. Carter, W. L. Brooks, Chas. Warfield, E. E. McDonald, P. M. Peterson, and the Juvenile Band under the director- ship of Mr. Riggs for the success of the undertaking. Out of town men who added much to the display were Dr. L. A. Langevin, Crookston, with his egg exhibition and Mr. Surber with his fish display. Prof. Hinshaw made the mineral exhibit very interesting by giving much valuable information in con- nection with the various exhibits of ore and peat.

Allen of Winnebago, presi- dent of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation since it was first organ- ized, resigned at a special meeting of the board of directors held last week at the University Farm, St. Paul. Mr. Allen resigned to relieve the organization of any embarrass- ment that might result from his re- cent political activities. As a purely personal matter, he had made several speeches in favor of J. A. O. Preus, and despite his efforts to prevent such an impression, a report was current over the state that in so doing he was representing the State Farm Bureau. Victor Holmgquist of Hallock, vice- president of the bureau, will serve as the federation’s executive until a new president is_appointed.
