W. Deputy Gives Qut Complete Data on Open- ing of Bemidji School With an increased faculty and an enrollment expected to be in excess of any previous year, the third regular year of the State Teachers college will open in Bemidji on Tuesday, Sep- tember 6. " The regular work of the year is divided into three terms. The fall term opens September 6 and will end Wednesday, November 23. The win- ter term will open for enrollment Monday, November 28, and will end Friday, March 3. The spring term will open Monday, March 6, and end June 2, President M. W. Deputy has been successful in securing a number of valuable ad/ditions to the faculty of the school and the year 1921-1922 promises to be the most successful since the opening of the instjtution. During the summer a wonderful change has been made in the ap- pearance of the grounds around the college. 1t now presents a beautiful landscape appearance and when the lawn grass on the campus has grown sufficiently to be cut, the buildings and grounds will present a beautiful sight. Location and Buildings The College is so located that. it is easily accessible by several good rail-| ways and goud automobile roads. The site is one of the most attrac- tive to be found anywhere. Located on a beautiful lake, in a thirty-acre campus of natural forest trees, the opportunities for out-door sports, recreation and natural educational advantage through lake, forest and natural scenery-are-uriexcelled. The buildings are fireproof, sani- tary and modern in every respect. A women’s building, named in honor of the late Maria Sanford, Minnesota’s most honored and influential woman teacher, is one of the most attractive and comfortable buildings of its kind in the state, accomodating fifty girls for rooming and one hundred twenty- five for boarding. Growth and Development The growth of the school has been very satisfactory as indicated by the! increase in the enrollment from a to- tal of 194 students during the first year, including the first summer term, to a total of 430 during the second year, including the second summer term. The attendance during the + past summer term alone was 428, and the indications now are that the en- rollment for the coming year will be considerably larger than last year. A, State Teachers’ College By act of the last legislature all of the Minnesota State Normal Schools were. designated as State Teachers Colleges, and provision was made for the enlargement of the scope of their work to include a four-year curricu- lum. At the June meeting of the Teach- ers College Board, a resolution was passed authouzmg the establishment and development of a four-year cur- riculum as soon as possible. The pur- pose of the College will continue to be training for teaching, but under the new four-year curriculum a much broader foundation for professional work will be/provided. A number of courses of Junior College work will be included in the first two years. The present two-year course, or- ganized for graduates of standard four-year High Schools, and the five- year course for those who have com- pleted the Eighth grade only will be (Continued on Page 2) BOY SCOUTS TROOP TO SPEND NIGHT IN CAMP Troop No. 1 of tlw Bemidji Boy Scouts will enjoy an overnight stay at the head of Lake Bemidji tonight, having left. about 4 o’clock this af- ternoon for a hike to Birchmont. Supper will be enjoyed at the camp soon after arrival, and the boys will remain there until after breakfast tomorrow morning, returning to the city at some time in the afternoon. “This troop boasts of the only first- class Scouts in the city, two already having passed the required tests. Dr. (. L. Cummer, who is Scout master of this troop, anounces that two more boys will pass the test within a few weeks, making a total of four first-class Scouts for this troop.

FARM BUREAU LEADERS | HOLD SPECIAL MEETING Proposed Amendment to Ar- icles of Incorporation De- ferred by Small Attendance Fifteen farm bureau | directors, representing as many farm bureau units of Beltrami county, met with the board of directors on “Saturday | August 27 at the Civic and Commerce association rooms. This special meet- ing was called to amend the articles of incorporation, copies of which were sent out to each member. County Agent D. C. Dyoracek re- ported that out of 821 members, only 161 sent in their ballots. This, to- gether with the members present who had not voted ,did not represent the majority of the members re- quired, and the articles of incorpora- tion were not amended. After con- siderable discussion, the county agent was instructed to communicate with the farm bureau directors and urge them to take this matter up with each member and request him to send in his ballot as soon as possible. A. E. Witting. of Blackduck, presi- dent o fthe Beltrami l,uunty Farm Bureau, was elected as delegate to the state meeting of directors of county farm bureaus to be held Sep- tember 8 at the State Fair. The question of a suitable farm bureau paper will be taken up at this meet- ing and definite action taken to pro- vide each member with such a publi- cation. The question of financing the farm bureau unit next came up fo- sideration. It was suggested small percentagd of the memk dues be retained in the farm 1 unit for local expenses and | percentage of all new memb dues be retained. After consid: discussion, a motion was carrie $2 of the first membership fee tained by the unit, for every member secured. On account | financial condition of the C Farm Bureau association, it was ly decided that definite action . " lowing each unit a percentage v. 1 membership dues be deferred until the next meeting. County Agent Dvoracek outlined the need of a program of work for each unit, and outlined the method of holding meetings with the program committee and outlining a definite program. J. C. Winkjer, with the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States De- partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., explained the workings of the Co-operative Bull association. He showed that districts having a high average production of milk per cow used more pure-bred sires—that is, there were fewer cows per purebred sire—while in communities there was a low production of milk from cows, the number of cows per pure-bred sire was high, demonstrating the val- ue of a pure-bred sire. Mr. Winkjer expects to spend a month in Beltrami county with the county agent organ- izing Co-operative Bull associations. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO REGISTER THIS WEEK Grades and Junior High School to Open Tuesday; Senior High Opens Next Day £191908 TEIIOISTA Registration of those planning to attend the Bemidji High School dur- ing the term which opens September 7 will be begun tomorrow and con- tinue throughout Thursday and Fri- day of this week, Principal J. Wi Smith anounced today. He states that it is very important that all those who are to attend this term register on one of these days. The regular $2 book rent fee, which was begun last year will be charged at the timo of registration. The Central school building, up- stairs, will e used for registraiton purposes on these days and students may register between 9 and 12 o’clock in the forenoon and 1 and 4 in the afternoon. The grade sehools and the junior department of the high school will begin its fall term Tuesday, Septem- ‘ber 6, while the senior high 'school department will open the following day. It is expectei that the enrollment in the local scinols this year will be very large considering the fact that the junior and senior high school departments are hampered by having no high school bujlding. The housing committee of the school board is making arrangements for the assem- bly and class rooms of these two de- partments, BILL HART TO FIGHT X ED SHEPARD LABOR DAY Bill Hart, a former Bemidji light heavyweight, will meet Ed Shepard of Salt Lake City in a 12-round headliner at Great s, Mont., on Labor Day. Hart weighs 170 pounds and Shepherd 165. Hart is a few pounds heavier than his opponent, but Shepherd is said to be able to offset this through his additional ring experience. Both men are now in Great Falls getting ready for the big bodt. Another 12-round and an S8-round bout complete the iprogram, which is being staged by the American Legion.

GOODNESS, | WONDER WHAT AN BE DETAINING PA- 1 HOPE NOTHING HAs HAPPENED TOmt TH TRAIN— LETS EAT E G. HALLOUTLINES IMPORT OF LABOR DAY Urges Close Co-operation By Local Labor Organizations and Civic [ TS—— After spending several days in the city on business connected with the local labor organ ions, E. G. Hall, prvxxdu\l of the State ]'c(lmutlon of Labor, through a Labor Day state- ment, has called to the attention of the public in general and the laboring classes in particular the significance of the coming Labor Day observance. Th lt('m('nt s written by Mr. bor Day mmo to the workers of this country as other benefits. It was woven into law in the various states through the untiring efforts of those actvie representatives of labor, who realized that labor should have recognition, the same as has been de- creed of other days that been set aside for observing epoch-maxing decisions that men make to review past associations and victories, con- sider the present, and prepare for the future. And so Labor Day serves this function for organized labor, “What has the trade union move- ment done since the observance of labor’s last natal day? Wonders! “When we consider, that never in the history of our country has such a campaign been carried on, through the press of the nation, either for or again any proposition, and this ‘of such wide proportions, carrying out a program of misrepresentations, vili- fication and falsehoods, reaching into every line of endeavor, from the school room down every avenue of life, which has filled, in many in- nces, the life of the workers. With trials and tribulations, privations and suffering, and notwithstanding those onslaughts, we have done wonders. “We have successfully met a de- termined effort of the zen's Al- liances, and other associations, which had hoped to destroy our organiza- (mns We met this drive of the “open-shoppers” with jaws set, un- flinching courage, and with that firm determination of those pioneers of the labor forces who have gone be- fore. And we find today, realization on the part of the mem- bership, a close relationship, again demonstrating that our position is right and just, and that the great ma- jority of the membership is unshak- able. “We have through a weathered the storm better than we, had hoped for, and the demonstrations which will be shown on Labor's Day throughout the nation, colors unsullied and spirit un- broken, we have no fear for the fu- ture. We know of no defeat, so un- daunted and unafraid, we will go marching with fresh confidence and renewed courage lo still greater achievements, b President Hall urges close eo-op- eration between the local labor or- ganizations and the ¢ and Com- merce association, and heartily in favor of the proposed affiliation which would give the Labor League ten ac- tive berships in the m(-lutiuu.

WOULD DOUBLE DAIRY PRODUCE IN' MINNESOTA Holstein Breeders’ Association Takes Steps to Increase Dairy Production WILL TRADE PUREBREDS TO FARMERS FOR SCRUBS National Dairy Show at State Fair Grounds in October to Be Assembling Point Steps which are destined to double Minnesota’s annual dairy production, making it $340,000,000 instead of $170,000,000, the record of last year, have been taken by the Minnesota Holstein Breeders’ association. Pure-bred bulls are to be traded for ubs to farmers of Northern Minnesota for the purpose of increas- ing production in that part of the state. The anncuncement of this re- markable move to show the farmers how they can double their earnings was made by W. S. Moscrip, a mem- ber of the Northwest Dairy Develop- ment Committee of 100, which sue- ceeded in bringing the national dairy show to Minnesota for the first time, to be held at the Minnesota Fair grounds October 8 to 15. “The Minnesota Holstein Breeders’ association has decided to trade pu bred bulls for serubs,” said Mr. Mos- crip, “for the purpose of increasing dairy production in the northern part of the state. The county agents ure making a survey of their counties and informing the f ‘llmvlfl of this oppor- tunity to trade th crubs fer pure- bred sire The ation will ac- cept a ub as the first payment for the pure-bred. “The bs will be hbled at the near hipping point and taken to the stockyards, where they will be sold, and the price they bring will be applied as the initial payment cn the blue-blooded stock, The breeders’ association will carry the rest of the purchase price for two years without interest. “The pure-bred bulls that are to be exchanged for the serubs will be as- sembled at the national dairy show at the Minnesota Fair grounds October 8 to 15, where they will be allotted to the farmers who trade in their scrubs. “The cows of Minnesota, averaging 146 pounds of butter fat, produced $170,000,000 for the state last year. In one county, which holds the record for the United States, the average was 140 pounds, The minimum yield ould be 300 pounds, so it can be lily seen that the dairy produc- tion in this state could be doubled by the use of pure-bred sires. “The national dairy show teaches the use of 400 to 500 pound butter- fat producing cows, so if the message of this big agricultural, educational exposition, bringing together the best there is in all branches of the dairy industry, is properly received, dairy- ing agriculture should, in two years® time, and another $170,000,000 to the buying power of the state. “The county agents will make their recommendations to the breed- ors ociation as to the farmers they find who appreciate the value of this pure-bred sire campaign, and therae will be a pure-bred at the national dairy show for every serub turned in. “Never before have the farmers of the northwest had such an opportuni= ty to improve their conditions as will be afforded them at this big educa-~ tional exposition. The choicest dairy stock in the United States will be as« sembled there as object lessons in ani~ mal perfection. The most modern equipment used in the farm dairyy the ercamery, the cheese factory and the distribution plant will be showng People from all over the United States and many foreign countrieq will be present. This great show has been broughtaright to our very doors and the farmer of the Northwest who does not take advantage of this un< pn-u»xlvntul opportunity to learn how to improve his stock and eqummcnt and thereby increase his earningsy will lose a chance that never may bq presented Lu him again.” S e OBSERVATION SQUADRON WILL HAVE 13 PLANES o 4 3 (By United Prn'fl] St. Paul, Augus -<Minnesota} will soon have thirteen airplanes for its observation squadron, according to Major Ray Mijller, commander.
