The first game, played here last Friday, resulted in a 13 to 13 tie, and the whitewash which Bemidji gave Blackdwck Wed- nesday afternoon came as a surprise to the Blackduck squad ang its fol- lowers. P 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- ett fell on the ball for a touchdown. Blackduck stood by and watched. Baney missed the goal kick. Rhea again kicked off the Black- duck and the ball wasg 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 vest of the half, which ended vyit}) the score 6 to 0 in favor of Bemidji. In the second half, Bemidji de- fended the west goal and Blaqkduck kicked off to Rhea on Bemidji’s 30- yard line. Rhea ran throught the entire Blackduck line for a touch- down. Davis missed goal. Then Rhea kicked off to Blackduck, who returned the ball to the 30-yard line. 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. Bemidji 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 scrimmage. Jater 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 ve- 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. Bemidji then kicked off and work- cd the ball down to the center of the field .on straight football, where (Continued ofsPage 8) A 182t A few minutesq RACE FAILS TO DEVELOP (By United Press) Bismaick, N.

At that THREE.CORNERED RECALL |FARMERS CALLED T0 29.—The | State Conference Meets Oct. 7 WATERWAY CONGRESS to Push Lake-to-Ocean Channel Project 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, 4 women’s clubs, civic associationsand muni- cipalities are being asked to send 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 g:'ths a‘bushel more to load that grain info ships. The Minnesota commission esti- time the weather has settled and the !ctop has improved considerably. The | reports of yields run from 75 bushels to 150 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 matkeb@ble 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. A’s 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 reason, expecting a higher price later, and this seems reasonable. HEARING ON VALUATION OF TRI-STATE COMPANY (By United Press) St. Paul, Sept. 29.—A hearing on the valuation of the Tri-State Telc- phone .company properties in the state was scheduled before the rail- road and warehouse commission to- day. The commission is considering facts presented by witnesses in re- gard to valuatior of the Northwest- ern Telephone company’s properties Tuesday. Valuation work on telephone prop- erties of the state has been under way for two years. Engineers em- ployed by the commission differed widely from company engineers on valuation estimates. The commission is attempting to get the facts to es- tablish a basis for rates. ¥ PENVNVUUN DOES NOT TAKE ALL THE CREDITS IN THE WORLD T0 EARN PIONEER SPECIAL PRIZES—WORK WINS Club Members in $4,000 Circulation Drive Can Learn Valuable | Lesson From Presidential Campaigns When Nominees Win By Narrow Margins The names of Club Mem- bers and the number of Credits polled for each up to 8 o’clock last night ap- pzar on the back page of this paper. Turn to it now. — When Woodrow Wilson was first elected 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.

Prolonged applause _grectod those who had been responslblc for putting over the enterprise. H. M. Clark, president of the fair association, was called upon to pre- sent suggestions as to what he deem- ed wise to be done for the successful continuation of the fair next year. Mr. Clark was given an ovation and was evident that he was deeply moved by the reception give him. He reviewed some of outstanding features, particularly of the livestock department, and owed 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, either by lease or purchase, the school farm plot directly north &f the fair grounds, and the contstruction of a set of pe manent livestock building on th; tract of ground with a broad drive- way from Bemidiji avenue around the east 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.

UNITED STATES PREPARING Is Related to Virtually Al Government. By A. L. Bradford (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Sept. —All de- partments of the government, under Joréers of Hresident Harding, are hard at work tabulating a ma; of information for the use of the Am- erican delegates at the conference on limitation of armaments, Officials have found that the ar- mament question is related to vir- all phases of governmental ac- i 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 effect of arma- ment limitation on commerce and la- hor is being studied by 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. The greatest care is being exer- cised in picking advisors and experts for the American delegation who are thoroughly versed in every angle of all these problems, members art urged to be present. TO MEET PROBLEMS WHICH WILL COME UP AT ARMAMENT CONFERENCE Officials Have Found that the Limitation of Armament Question 1 Phases of the Activities of the W ootk @ & al With these physical preparations— even 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 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 confer< 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 reservations to the pro- posed discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern problems, and this question has not been completely settled yet,
