The first game, played here last Friday, resulted in a 13 to 18 tie, and the whitewash which Bemidji gave Blackduck ng- nesday afternoon came as a surprise o the Blackduck squad ang its fol- lowers. e Captain Olson of the ) Blackduck eleven won the toss and his team chose to defend the east goal. Rhea of. Bemidji kicked off 65 yards across Blackduck’s goal line and Hul- ot fell on the ball for a touchdown. | Blackduck stood by angl watched. Baney missed the goal kick. Rhea again kicked off the Black- duck and the ball wag returned to Bemidji’s 30-yard line, The line see- sawed for the remainder of the quarter. In the sceond quarter, Blackduck worked the ball as far as Bemidji’s 12-yard line, the closest point to a} touchdown during the entire game. At that point Rhea got off a spiral punt for 40 yards, putting the Be- midji team out of danger for the rest of the half, which ended syit}; the score 6 to 0 in favor of Bemidji. In the second half, Bemidji de- fended the west goal and Bla_qkduck kicked off to Rhea on Bemidji’s 80- yard line. Rhea ran throught the entire Blackduck line for a touch- down. Dayis missed goal. Then Rhea kicked off to Blackduck, who returned the ball to the 30-yard l‘me‘ They made their downs' once, bring- ing the ball to the 45-yard line, and then failed to make their distance and Bemidji took the ball. l}ermdu was then held without any gains and on the fourth down Rhea punted to Blackduck’s 2-yard line, = where Thompson, Blackduck’s colored ath- Jete, fumbled the ball and allowed it to roll across the goal line, where he recovered -it-and was_tackled for a safety, giving Bemidji two points. The ball then Went back to the 30- yard line, where Blackduck put it in play by secrimmage. A few minutesq later the quarter ended with the score 14 to 0. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Blackduck lost the ball on downs and Bemidji started a steady march down the field until they were held on Blackduck’s 4-yard line. Blackduck then punted out of danger to the middle of the field, Jahr re- turning it to the 40-yard line. Then a pretty, long-pass for 30 yards, Cline to Baney, put the ball on Black- duck’s 10-yard line. On the fourth down, Captain Stevens ~went over for a touchdown. Goal was missed.

OUT QUITE FAVORABLY \ ather During Past Thres ‘eeks Has Considerably Increased Yield Potato digging has become general in Bemidji vicinity during the past week, and, from the reports of those who have harvested their potatoes or who are in the midst of harvesting them, the crop seems. to be turning out somewhat better than was antici- pated three weeks ago. At that time the weather has settled and the crop has improved considerably. The reports of yields run from 75 bushels to 160 bushels to the acre with an average yield of about 100 bushels.* A few weeks ago it was reported from the Department of Agriculture that there would be a potato short- age of thirty to fifty million bushels over the entire country, but later in- dications are that there will not be this -Shortage as the crop has im- proved considerably in the last month. The result of the report of the short- age made the market bullish, but dur- ing the last week, since marketing has become so common all over the potato district, the attitude of the buyers has changed considerably and is now inclined to be bearish. A few days ago iarmers were re- ceiving about $1 per \bushel in Be- midji-for their marketable potatoes, and the result was a heavy offering. The total for the United States of 1,721 cars shipment for Wednesday caused a weakening, which immedi- ately was reflected in the prices. As soon as the present strong offer- ing has passed and cold weather starts there is every indication that the market will strengthen again. Many farmers are not selling now for that reasen, expecting a higher price FARMERS CALLED TO WATERWAY CONGRESS State Conference Meets Oct. 7 to Push Lake-to-Ocean Channel Project = RESS St. Paul, Sept. 20"—The president and state director of every county farm bureau in Minnesota will be in- vited to attend a conference in St. Paul on October 7. called to launch an intensive campaign in 16 states in support of the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence river ocean waterway proj- ect. Trade ~ organizations, # women’s clubs, civic associations and muni- cipalities are being asked to send later, and this seems reasonable.

The commission is consu_iermg facts presented by witnesses in re- gard to valuatiort of the Northwest- ern Telephone company’s properties Tuesday.

The names of Club Mem- bers and the number of Credits polled for each up to 8 o'clock last night ap- pear on the back page of this paper. Turn to it now. e When Woodrow Wilson was first clected to the office of president he received little more than one-third of the votes cast by the people of America—yet he was elected—and that was the main thing. His manager knew-that he could not get all the votes, or even half of them, but, because of the other tick- ets in the field, enough to WIN was the big idea in all of their plans, and that was what they went after. : A smiliar situation exists today in the Pioncer’s $4,000 Salesmanship Club. No one Club Member can hope to get all of the subscription orders— or all they go after. No one member can get even half of all the orders— but any one member can. get enough to win that lovely Buick Car privid- ed they GO AFTER THEM—Get busy and keep busy every minute. If you wait for someone to do something for you you will have a long wait and a lonesome one. You can get lots of assistance from your friends if you show a disposition to help yourself—to lead the proces- sion. Win a Special Prize The proposition of awarding Club Members $150 in gold for two weeks’ effort. has struck a popular chord and Club Members are organizing for a concentrated drive between nowfand October 8. If you can use $50 fin_gold—or- even $25—you can win it in this campaign by turning in the largest amount of subscription money for the Daily and Weekly Pioneer between now and a week from Saturday night. Two Club Members in EACH DISTRICT will be the recipients of ,special awards. YOU can be one of the fortunate ones if you put in your best licks to- ilay, tomorrow and the days that fol- owW. There is no luck about winning a cash prize—nor any of the other lib- eral awards work, and work alone, will decide the winners. While $50 in gold is not a fortune, it will sup- ply many a want, or many a luxury, and it is so_easy to win! Credits issued are good in the campaign proper, and either old or (Continued on Page 8) delegates. The conference was called by the governor at the request of the | state’s Great Lakes- St. Lawrence Tidewater commission. It will take place at the state capitol the day be- fore the opening of the national dairy show. Similar conventions are being ar- ranged in other statés interested in bringing thg Atlantic ocean 1,000 miles closer to the Northwest. Deepening of the. St. Lawrence channel to permit ocean-going vessels to come into the lake ports of the Northwest wil] cut transportation costs on export grain almost in half, the state tidewater commission be- lieves. The commission estimates that from Lake Erie to Atlantic ports, the lowest rail rate is 12 cents a bushel on“grain, and that it costs 8 cents a bushel more to load that grain iryzy ships. The Minnesota commission esti mates that the opening of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence route to ocean traffic would reduce this grain trans- portation cost 10 cent sa bushel. LLOYD GEGRGE INVITES SINN FEIN DELEGATION (By United Press) London, Sept. 29.—Lloyd George today dispatched a telegram to Ire- land inviting the Sinn Fein to send a delegate to the peace convention ini London, October 11. Not on the basis of the recent cor-|big $26,000 automobile, probably ac-|"" respondence, which “would render a conference impossible,” but because of the British government’s sincere desire for peace, the telegram says, a conference between the Dail Eir- eanns and the British cabinet is pro- posed. . The notd was taken here as evi- dence “of-Eloyd George’s intention to| shunt aside temporarily the argu- }negt as to the sovercignty of Ire- and.

Bradford (Inited Staff Correspondent) Washington, Sept. 29.—All de- partments of the government, under jorcers of MNresident Harding, are hard at work tabulating a mass of information for the use of the Am- delegates at the conference on limitation of armaments, Officials have found that the ar- mament question is re| i ted to vi tually a!l phases of governmental ac- tivity. While the state department is try- ing to clear up some diplomatic prob- lems preparatory to the conference, war and navy departments are com- piling the latest information regard- ing the fighting forces of the world. The cost of war and preparedness is being tabulated for all nations by the treasury. The cffect of arma- ment limitation on commerce and la- hor is being studied hy Secretary of Commerce Hoover and Secretary of Labor Davis. The drain of war on the coal and oil reserves of the world will be shown by the interior depart- ment, while the agricultural depart- ment has figures revealing the effect of the last war on food production.

Prolonged applause _g'rcctcd | those who had been responsible fot | putting over the enterprise. H. M.

He reviewed some of outstanding | features, particularly of the livestock | department, and showed that, al- though. the exhibits in that depart- | ment were very_large, they might | have been larger had there been ac- | commodation for the stock. Thirty head of cattle were turned away be- cause of lack of housing and the same | was true of the racing horses, accord- ing to Dr. Denison. An outline of the buildings desired to adequately take care of the future exhibits was made by Mr. Clark, which he suggested to be incorporat- ed in a building program to be car- ried out in the next five years. He | suggested acquiring, cither by lease or purchase, the school farm plot directly north of the fair grounds, and the contstruction of a set of per- ntanent livestock building on that tract of ground with a broad drive- way from Bemidiji avenue around the cast end of the grounds in front of the livestock buildings for use by autos and also for livestock exhibit- ing purposes. This would leave the race track undisturbed for other at- tractions and get all the livestock away from the other features of the exhibition. Mr. Clark’s proposition was given the endorsement of those in atten- dance. F. R. Duxbury, on behalf of C. W.

UNITED STATES PREPARING TO MEET PROBLEMS WHICH WILL COME UP AT ARMAMENT CONFERENCE Officials Have Found that the Limitation of Armament Question Is Related to Virtually All Phases of the Activities of thd Mo v a0 With these physical preparations— cven down to provision for the en« tertainment and comfort of the vari- ous delegations—being rushed, Sec- retary of State Hughes, head of the American delegation, was beginning to see complete victory ahead for holding the conference in accord with American principles and plans. Hughes has had two big’ difficul- ties to overcome in the negotiations he has conducted to pave the way for the successful opening of the Wash< ington conference. These were: 1. The desire of !Great Britain, prompted by the dominion premiers, to hold a preliminary ‘conference on the Far Eastern situation with the United States and Japan in London, a plan which was finally dropped be- cause of Secretary Hughes’ insist~ ence that there be only one confers ence, and that that be held in Wash« ington. 2. Japan’s hesitance to agree to a discussion among all the powers, in the conference, of problems in the Pacific and Far East, where Nippon holds she has a special position. In accepting President Harding’s formal invitation to the conference, Japan noted réservations to the pro- posed discussion of Pacific and Far Bastern problems, and this question has not heen completely settled yet,
