THE BEMIDJT \ 65¢ PER MONTH == OUTDOOR ATTRACTIONS WILL BE BIG FEATURE Amusement Committee Secures Feature Acts for Big Fair Here in September The Amusement committee of the Beltrami- County Agricultural Fair, which will be held at Bemidji, Sep- tember 20 to 23, 1921, has contracted with F. M. Barnes, Inc,, Chicago, I11., for one of the bezt programs of feat- ure outdeor attractions obtainable. Aim(:ng the many features will be: Simuri: Oriental marvel, one of the ‘greatest attractions that the Flowery kingdom has sent us, in a wonderful ¢splay of screen juggling and comedy barrel kicking. Ward Trio: Comedy rings and trapeze novelties, in a rapid fire rou- tine of ring and trapeze gymnastics, intermingled with excruciating com- edy cvolutions on special apparatus by comedians of high calibre. amous Sakata: Sensational toe slide artist, in a remarkable perform- ance of sensational rope walking, from a steep incline to an angle of forty-five degrees and when he reaches the pinnacle of the dincline, he makes a thrilling slide for life to tlie ground below. Three Murrays: Ground acrobatic tumbling novelty, in a side-splitting performance of bumps and falls, ground contortion, tumbling and dif- ficult feats of acrobatics. RED LAKE AND REDBY ‘There are three general stores at Red Lake and one at Redby. These are Indian villages and are both lo- sated .on the shores of Red Lake, the largest body of water wholly within @ state ini the United" States. At Red Lake is situated the Indian Reservation schools and buildings, where there may be found a big fam- +ily of government employees under the supervision of G. W. Cross, sup- erintendent of the Indian agency. ‘The Minneapolis, Red Lake and Manitoba railway runs to Redby from Bemidji and maintains its ' repair shops at this point. From Redby to Red Lake is a five-mile auto road, generally kapt in good repair and open for travel both summer and winter. ) The state fisheries are operated at Redby, from where many tons of fish are shipped daily to points in the state and through the United States. It is here where the state employs men to catch fish-in large nets and literally tons are pulled up at; one time. “To those who have never seen this large body of water we urge them to do-so, as it iy a-rare treat to see this wonderful “lake: Indians are taught how to farm at the farm school on the ageney and many have developed splendid culti- vated farms. The soil on the reserva- tion is of the finest and some of the best crops in the state are grown here. Practically every year at the great Minnesota State fair, some of the Indian farmers carry away blue ribbons for crops raised. Large quantities of maple sugar, made from pure maple sap, is made on the reservation each year and al- ways brings a - premium wherever sold. If you want to see the modern Indian and what he can do, attend thd Indian Fair, which is usually held during the month of September at Red Lake, AKELEY On the Great Northern railway between Walker and Park Rapids you will find the thriving city of Akeley. It was at one 'time a boom- ing lumbering town, andj like most lumbering towns, it has had its “ups and -downs,” but today is Tecognized as one of the most rapidly develop- ing farming communities in the state. ‘Akeley has a population of 850 people and was named after the well known Minneapolfs lumberman, H. C. Akeley. It was incorporated as a city in 1916 and has now taken a new hold on life and is coming ifast to the front. Besides being a farming commun- ity, it is known the state over as one of the leading summer resort towns. Goood roads, beautiful lakes and congenial business men make it an ideal place in which to live. Right stores, one bank and some fifteen other business enterprises mako up its business section, all of which reporti business in a healthy condition. In the Akeley Herald-Tribune, pub- lished by Charles Scheers, this city has onc of the best hoosting public- tions in Northern Minnesota. With a live commercial club and a live newspaper big things may be accom- plished, and Akeley has both and is Josing mo time and leaving no stone unturned to make it_the best little city in the state in which to make a ~ "LEONARD The population of Leonard is mbout 200. It has a bank, grain ele- vator, lumber yard, -two general stores and a hardware store, as well as several other busiiness em.erprlse;. The soil in and about Leonard is of heavy clay and the farmers in that locality are expert clover grow- ers, having produced some of the biggest and finest crops of clover seed marketed -anywhere. 3 Leonard also is in the midst of some good lakes, where hunting and fishing \is as good as may be found. Farms are being rapidly developed and good crops are usually the re- sult of the efforts put forth by the men who are making this a popular community.

DIVISION N.—BELTRAMI COUNTY SCHOOL EXHIBIT Superintendent—J. C. McGhee Assistant—Mary Lilleskov Announcement. For Rural and Semi-Graded Schools, the projects for school work in the County Premium List, have been made identical with the State Fair Premium List. The premiums offered at the State Fair, however, are uniformly much high- er than the county premiums, for the same project. This gives school children an opportunity to win a handsome State Premium, and then another Premium at the County Fair. Graded and High Schools should send their exhibits for the State Fair direct to St. Paul, as directed by the special premium lists for these schools. These exhibits will not be judged against the rural school exhibit. At the County Fair Classes H, I, J, K, L,’M, N, and O are open to both rural and city school; in the other classes they will not compete, but each class of schools will have its own exhibit. o Rural -and Semi-Graded Schools will forward their ex- hibits to the County Superintendent at the close of the term. The exhibits will then be combined and sent to the State Fair. At the close, they will be rcturned to the Superin- tendent for the County Fair.

This institution is making bodies for Ford trucks and Ford model T chassis. It employes a fair-sized crew and turns out some of the fin- est truck body work in the north- west. Being located here in the heart of a hardwood timber belt it is able to produce finished products for less money than those concerns less fort- unately situated. In its construction of bodies it uses only the best of hardwood materials, and the work- manship is of the best. “Something Better for Less’ ’is the motto, or slogan of this new enter- prise and indications are that it ds moré than making good this mild boast. Orders for shipping are booked ahead and new territory for the fin- ished product is being developed throughout the entire northwest. The bodies after being built are decorated by men who know their business in car painting. The future has great things in store for this business and Bemiddi will always be proud to have within its borders the General Body BAGLEY Bagley is the county seat of Clear- water county, so called because Thomas Bagley was partially ve- sponsible for its inception. He was one of the pioneer lumbermen in this section of the country. Potatoes, clover and dairy prod- ucts keep this city on the map and in the foreground as a leader in the farming industry. It has three large general stores, two banks and some twenty other business houses in its business section. Beautiful schools, churches and splendid homes make this active little city a delightful place in which to lve. Lake Lammond, one of the beauty spots. of the north woods, is a most inviting summer resont lake and many people have spent their sum- mers on its shores for years. In the vicinity ,of Bagley are numerous other lakies, which are idcal spots for vacationers. Bathing, fishing and boating are of the best. Nearly 1,000 people make their homes in Bagley. It 8 located on the Great Northern railway about 30 miles west of Bemidji. Bagley has a fine business men's club, which is always actilve in looking out for the welfare of the oity and the se- curing of new enterprises for the community. Some of the best farms in the state may be found in this section, dairy- ing being one of the principal farm occupations. Many record crops on clover, grains 'and ipotatoes have been reported from farms in this community and lands are being rap- idly settled and developed. PUPOSKY Puposky is one of the principal shipping points along the Minnea- polis, Red Lake and Manitoba rail- way and is consldered one of the fastest growing towns in this part of Beltrami county. It has two general stores, a bank, confectionery store and several oth- er business establishments. Perhaps no other village can boast of being located on better and more productive soil than is found in the’ vieinity of Puposky. During years gone by Puposky’s principle business was the shipping of timber products, but today it may be classed as one of the rapidly developing agricultur- al communities. i 1t Is composed of a live bunch of business men who do things and theilr co-operation with farmers Is doing much for the development of the country around. Lake Puposky, formerly known as “Mud” Lake is one of the most de- lightful spots for tourists and sum- mer resorters to he found anywhere in this north country. HMishing, boat- ing, bathing and hunting, all of the hest, have made it a paradise for those secking pleasure in these res- pective gports. Puposky has a populatioti of more than 150 and is on the increase con- tinually. Farms around this village are being hewn out of the timbered Janda and abundant crops are produc« ed each year. { 1t is near Puposky, where the Tri- County Sarmatorium is located, on the shores of beautiful Lake Julia. This institution is a health resort and ranks among the best in the country. “ TNARY The Nary country is recognized as one of the bhest in this section. Nary is a small village located in the nor- thern part of Hubbard county. It has one general store, a church and a large new consolidated school houge. Tt d8 on the Minnesota and Internatfonal railway and has a population of about sixty. The farms in this section are de- veloping rapidly and the crops rais- ed are usually bumper crops. The soil is of heavy clay and, the timber largely hardwoed. In the vicinity of Nary are some of the finaet trout streams in Hub- bard county and many anglers go there for trout fishing, = e D
