Large delegations ifrom several of the communities along the new road planned to reach Bemidj for the Civic and Commerce celebra tion held here some time ago, but were unable because of the poor roads from that district. Bemidji_mérchants will reap in- stant results from the building of this new thoroughfare since the bet- ter facilities for economical buying in this city are well known to these farmers. Several cars are already owned along the new road and this assures the trade Bemidji wants. Several beautiful lakes are reach- ed directly, among them Swensan, Andrusa, Big, Silver, Anderson, Rice. Kitchie, Pimush and Big and Little Moose lakes, making this the best road into Bemidji’s fishing zrounds. Following is a list of free-holders living in the districts reached by the Kitchie road and directly interested in its construction. Goodland—W. A. Clark, Chas. Fostcr, J. R. Wells, A. VanDyke, J. H.

Farrell, (United Press Staff Corresponderit) New York, Jan. 4.—Near sighted American promoters and greedy box- ers are doing their best to bitg the hand that’s feeding them. Champions are démanding sums nearly the size of the president’s sal- ary and just ordinary _“pork and beaners” want more than the old champions used to get. Promoters are giving them their prices and soaking the public for, it. The public is getting tired of being soaked, as Tex Rickard, premier New York promoter, recently learned. If Rickard didn’t fose money on the Dempsey-Brennan fight at $5 to $25 a head, he came very cloge to it. While these factors are killing the game in America, constructive meas- ures are being taken in Europe to prolong its life. French fight fans, since the war, have been experiencing the same ex- tortion from the promoters and_box- ers that the Americans are beind p‘t: through now. The French fans just stopped pay- ing the exorbitant freight for boxers’ passage to fortunes and the problem was solved. . Boxing is flourishing now in France because the promoters were far aighb«} ed and realized all chances of malgng| money would be lost by prahibitory; legislation if they didn’t reduce prices. They cut down the demands of the fighters and thus decreased the price of the “gate.” The best of fights that cost the equivalént of $10 shortly after the war are now only $5. In Bngland, characteristic Briti: ideas are being incorporated into la: to safeguard the interests of the pub: lic. At a recent meeting of the Brit-| ish board of boxing control, which _ represénts every professional and . ‘amateur boxing body in England and which controls the sport, it was voted to: Register all qualified referees. Subject all referces for examina-| tion and certification. Register all judges and officials. Have all officials appointed hy the board. The rules wer2 a 1 so that “No member shall enter into a contract with any bexer cr bexers for a contest under the terms of which the boxer, if he loses, may receive an amount_Jarger than or equal to the amount he is to receive if he wins Such a thing as a certain’sum, win, lose or draw thereby will not be tol-| ernn'—.d in Ensland. Arthur| Jurret e ar v a percentage of the receipts and hayve the price of admission within the reach of the “two-dollar fellow,” for whom the Walker bill was passed. Tex: Rickard, who is charging the highest admission prices for his shows in Madison Squarg Garden, is too wise not to see the sWing in sentiment. “I can’t understand it,” he 3aid re- cently. “Boxers who will zo out west or ‘around New York state and fight for two or three thousand dal- lars come to me and demand $20.000 and $30,000. They apparently fizure chat I have a big house and am mak- | ing a fortune. I am willing at all} times to give them 60 per cent of the receipts, 35 to the winner and 25 to| the loseg, or any other split they agree on. Just as soon as they agree to do that I'll give boxing showa at theatrical prices.” INSPECTOR URGES LAW T0 REGULATE MARKETS (By United Press) | St. .Paul, Jan. 4.—Frow 40 to 50 per cent ef) the meat consumed in Vinnesota eseaped federal Inspection, according to Dr. M. O. Anderson, in- spector in charge for the bureau of animal industry at South St. Paul. The same may be true in other north- west states, he asserted. The federal Inspection. he pointed sut, is limited to meats for interstate »v foreign shipment and federal regu- ‘ations do not apply to scores of small rackers or local butchers who buy, cill and sell their own beef, pork and mutton. Because of this situation. he said, it is urgent that some step be taken to protect the public from inferior meats. He believes a state law re- quiring inspection of all meats before fere,! for sale, would be \effective. In the twin cities alone, more than 150,000 pounds of beet, 5,000 pounds of veal, and 6,000 pounds of pork was consumed during 1919 that would bave been found unfit for foad under ‘ederal inspection, according to Dr. Anderson. “During the year 1919,” he said “there were slaughtered in and around the tw¥n cities without any inspection at the time of slaughter, approximately 27,000 cattle, 12,000 ves and 6,000 hogs. - “On a basis of the same percentage of carcasses found to be Unfit for fcod as those at the varfous packing plants where federal inspection is| maintained, there should have been condemned out of the number of slaughtered. about 305 cattle, 44 calves and 27 hogs. “Applying the rule of average | weiglits, the people of the twin cities where the greater part of this meat was marketed, consumed 152,000 pounds of beef, 4,400 pounds of veal {and 6,750 pounds of pork which if it {had been slaughtered under federal 'inspection would have been found un- fit for food. This average, he said, should hold good thruout the state as nearly ev- qry village and town in the state and T ing to induce the boxers to fight for| RIGK A FEW’ DPOLLARS 0N FWELL EGE 1T 1S, AND WHO LMD VT N GANY LOSE {l/"- | AND NouL pmav .ADVERTI3ING ~ e~ SOUTH DAKOTA PREPARES FOR INAUGURATION DAY Pierre, S. D. Jan. 4.—Gov-elect W. H. McMaster and other newly. elect- ed state officials will be tendered: an informal reception and ball to- night. The reception will be staged at the capitol building and’the ball will be at the armory under the aus- pices of the American Legion. Tha legisjature was scheduled to convene at noon for organization and will hear "the message of the new governor immediately after in- augugation at noon tomorrow. New state officers will take the oath of office at noon in the hall of the house shortly after organization. Much importance is being attached to the, bill for establishment of a state owned and operated cement plant , at Rapid City, and the measure probably will be one of the first beforé the session. Perhaps the most° important 'measure fostered, however, is the one providing for es- tablishment of a state owned and operated hydro-electric plant on the Missouri river. J Bankers are asking the legislature to back a $10,000,000 bankers' dis- count corporation to aid farmers and livestock raisers and increase bank reserves. GOVERNOR PREUS WILL ADDRESS LUMBER MEET Secretary _Adolph Pfund of the Northwestern Lumbermen’s associa- tion announced ‘today that Governor- elect J. A. O. Preus of Minnesota will address the annual convention of the association to be held in Minneapolis Jan. 18, 19 and 20. Govesnor-elect Preus is scheduled to speak Tues- day, Jan. 19. The convention sessions will be held in the assembly room at the conit house, while convention headquarters will be at the West hotel, where two entire floors, including the lobby, will be devoted ito «a building materiald exhibit, the largest of its hind evdrl staged in the northwest. - F. J.'Ward of Clinton, ~Iowa, is president of the Northwestern Lum- bermen’s association, . composed cf nearly 3,000 retail lumber dealers in Towa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. i FINE PROGRAM ENJOYED AT ASSOCIATION ROOMS \ A program of exceptional merit was enjoyed by a small attendance at the rooms of the Bemidji Civic and Commerce asrociation on New Year's afterncon, when that organi- zaticn held open house for all friends. The Elko orchestra furnished mu- sie thruoiit the afternooia and selec- tions by a quartette consisting of MAVE A FORTUNE! | IMITATE CUSTOMS OF WEST Manchy Women on Streets of Peking Use Rouge, but in Manner Pro- nounced Clumsy. The first strikingly surprising cas- tom among the citizens of Peking is that the!women wear skirts, James A. Muller writes in the Natiopal Geo- graphic Magazine. To a traveler fresh from America, thls Would seem as it should be, but:to one xesident in the land of trousered ‘wemen -it appears almost immodest! They not .only wear skirts; they further approximate western usage by painting their fag Broagdway. is na- ture itself in' .comparison; for. in Pe- king there :are ,'no ;, light, artistic touches, -but'bold cheek circles of red. upon frankly ‘whitened faces—comet-- ic unabashed. | These- are the Manchu women. The Manchu men;. descendants of the rov- ing Tartars, go futilely about this spa- clous city of their fathers balancing: trick birds upon their wrists; for, now that the empire Is no more, their only; occupation, that of ruling, is gone, and the conguered Chinese, imwemorial city dwellers, are masters of the cap- ital. It is a’significant. illustration of the age-old ability of the Chinese to absorb and enervate their conquerors. Hounds in_Funeral Tribute. Twenty-one- pairs . of hounds filed solemnly past the grave at the funeral of . William Selby-Lowndes, a well- known English countxy squire of the old school, who had:been master of the Whaddon hounds for 25 years. The village churchyard overlooks the fa- mous Whaddon' Chase. After the burial service, the members of the hunt led the fanious ‘Whaddon Chase pack past the flower-lined grave. o 2 Monkeys Mourned Comrade. Monkeys are very human in thelr desire'to help one another, and quite skillful in their rude surgery. An Af- rican explorer tellsda story of a fe- male monkey that was sKot by one-of a campaign party that he was with. -Several of the tribg of which she was a ‘member came as close to the tent where her body was lying as they || dared, holding out’ their arms- and making mournful cries, as if begging that she should be given back to them. Then a gray old man monkey, prob- ably the chief, came still closer, chat- tering and one could Imagine almost | weeping. 'When given the body, he took it ;in his arms, examined the wound, then walked away, the others trailing him in single file, thus form- ing a regular fllner'al’pmcesslon.

This statement is made by Dr. G. A. Huntley of the American Baptist Foreign Mission society, who is at present in this country on a long | deferred holiday. | For 23 years Dr. Huntley has been a medical missionary in China, his statdon being Shanghai, The figures he quoted as regards the lack of edu- | cation, seem startling to an Ameri- |can. Out.of a possible 65,000,000 | children of school age, less than 6,- 1000,000, actually go to school. The | great tragedy lies in the fact that | every one of them is extraordinarily well worth educating, says- Dr. Humt- ley. He holds Chinese mentality in a | very high esteem, gnd .if. one. may | judge by his experience, which has | been both deep and broad, here is‘an i excellent field awaiting the born edu- {cator who is looking for fertile soil | in which to work. | It.is a fallow field and fertile, ac- | cording to Dr. Huntley, who would “]ike to see his own countrymen and | women among the pioneers in break- | ing this new trail for the spread of | modern culture. | FINANCE COMMITTEE HAS | PROVIDED FOR HEARINGS | Washington, D.
