OFFICI'ALCOUNTY- AND CITY PROC.EEPlNGS —_———— Who has heard of H. C. Bell; president of the Minnesota State High School Football association?y We did not know there was such.a gentleman ourselves, but of course we plgad ignorance on a considerable scale with regard to state hlg}x school football matters. Well, anyway, Mr. Bell says thg Fari- bault-Bemidji football contest today is not a state championship affair in any way, merel y a game between two good teams. He statés “it would be unfair to the many good teams of the state whose records would entitle them to contend, for cham- pionship ‘honors.” Very well. What do Mr. Bell’s duties call for as president of the Minnesota State High School Foqtball association? Wouldn’t it have been a good idea for him to have arranged some . season it would be possible to know who are the champions of the state? They are not all “best teams,” to be sure, there can only be one ‘‘best team,” Instead of having a schedule arranged so that each team knew when and where they shop]d play the experience of Bemidji anyway has been that of hunting / for teams to play with. After being refused games with some teams early in the season these teams are makifig claims for the championship notwithstanding their refusal to play earlier in the season. B o It/might not be out of the way to humbly suggest to Mr. Bell that next season a schedule be arranged so that at the end of the playing the teams will know where they stand. Bemidji would have been glad to accommodate any of the “so-called” championship tezms with a game had it been possible to get one. < 0— ) RECRUITING ON THE MEXICAN BORDER. Of course the recruits that are being gathered into thel United States army have to congregate somewhere, and maybe there is nothing significant about it at all, yet the fact remains that the Mexican border is the scene’ of consid rable activity right now. The famous second division, known &s the “Indian Heads” in the big fighting in France, are being strengthened at the rate of 250 new soldiers a day, at Camp-~Travis, Texas. Major General P.'C. Harris, the ‘adjutdnt general of-the army, says that the second division will be recruited up to 11,000 men. No one can suspect that the present administration is en- tertaining a war-like disposition toward Mexico, which has of late been making substantial improvemént in its internal. f- fairs, while gt the same time evidencing a_spirit towards the United States that is not being criticized at Washington. Some of he “elder observers” in the newspaper . fraternity at the capital interpret the activity on the Mexican border due to the| fact that the present administration does not desire to leave jtself in a position so that the republicans will be able to say that they could not meet any unpleasant condition with Mexico, Pbecause of inadequate military forces at the border.

" TURKEY HELPED BY GERMANS ~ Jute _Bags, Designed to Block Suez Canal, Are Now Being Put to Peaceful Use. i s It is alwaps a pleasure to acknowl- edge g debt of gratitude to one’s Yoes. The German occupation has left many .a nightmare In this poor land; but some ‘benefits as well. One of these has jrecently come to light. Hupdreds _ot“poor are peddling on the streets of Constantiniopié”jute bags, with handles, which ‘are vet§’convenient for carrying home riceor onions or bread or patli- Jnu (egg-plant) or any other purchase. For six or seven _cents, one can have a good .strong teg. 7 The story of ‘these Is Interesting. During tx early days of the war, when the cam zainst Egypt was un- . dertaken, p-plan was conceived of ! driving the.British back to the Suez canal, filling up the canal with the ‘Sands of the desert; and walking over, into-the new Promised Land, and thus “delivering” Egypt from the yoke of tyranny. To facllitate this project, |the Germans sent into this country millions of jute bags, which were to ‘be filled with sand and piled into the jcansl’ in a hurdy when the eonquering invaders reached Its banks. | When the Amerfcan committee for rellef in the near East sent out its shiploads of. supplies for the starving .of this country. @nd_mo_\Warehouses Could He Wad TGr 16ve or money at Con- stantinople, the -fine large German warehouses at ‘Derindfe, on the gulf of Nicomedia, were rxulsflonéd for this humanitarian purpos the reliet committee. found about one milllon of these Ger- man bags.
