Although the boys are fast getting accustomed to the game, several of them are still a little the worse for Wednesday’s battle, but with a hard ‘grilling before tomorrow’s game, Coach Smith ex- pects the boys to be in prime condi- tion. ~. Grand Forks has always had a strong football team, ~and Coach Smith states that .he believes this year is no exception. Consequently the boys are looking for a fast and hard contest and are prepared for it. The outcome of the game will have no bearing on the district title, however, since Grand Forks is not in this state. > Coach Smith and his squad of four- teen men léft this afternoon on the 3:17 Great Northern, and expect to return to Bemidji Sunday. OCTOBER 8 DESIGNATED NATIONAL CANDY DAY (By United Press) Chicago, Sept. 30.—There is to be a new national holiday—Candy Day. The National Confectioners’ Associa- tion has selected October. 8 to be ‘“the «sweetest day of the year.” < All other holidays in the calendar, says the confectioners, have a politi- cal, sentimental or - religious© back- ground. Candy Day is for e body without respect to age, sex, religion, race or politics. Everyquy on that day is expected to receive a gift of candy from somebody. Incidentally, of course, the candymakers will prof- it. NEWSPAPERMEN HOSTS AT KIWANIS CLUB MEET “The re/ular meeting of the Kiwan- is club held Thursday noon at the Eiks club rooms was under the di- rection of the advertising men of the club, G. E. Carson, Walter Marcum, H. Z. Mitchell, with' Fred Fraser as chairman of the day. Bryers and Bryers, two gentlemen with the vaudeville bill at the Grand theatre Thursday, furnished music on their banjos during the luncheon hour. 5 Novel invitations had been sent to each member, in shape of a want ad which was supposedly sent to-various nationally well-known papers. The fake replies were read by the chair- man and they created muth amuse- ment for all. The attendance prize, $10 worth of free advertising in the Sentinel, do- nated by D. Z. Mitchell, was won by R. J. Boardman. After the newspa- permen had finished their “foolish- ness,” the meeting was turned over to President H. L. Huffman and dis- cussion of local problems was held. BIG in this race. DO IT NOW. In- stead of being in second third or fourth place; GET UP AT THE TOP and STAY THERE. Now is the time to secure an insurmountable reserve strength in accumulated credits. Now is the time to make reasonably sure of the prize you most desire. Never again, after October 8th, will it be possible to secure the full voting power for subscriptions.

A few long term subscriptions NOW may be the very, ones needed to “cinch” the big prize; they - could hardly help winning one of the major awards. A Timely Warning £ As a timely warning, don’t try to fxgure just_exactly how many credits it will take to win, for you will sure- ly f{xil to get enough, Don’t be afraid, of having too many credits; you can’t have too many. It will be better to win the big prize by a mil- lion credits more than enough' than to get left .by a hundred thousand credits or so, representing the re- sults of an afternoon’s work. .Don’t let this happen to you. You will never forgive yourself of fatal error There will be no cause for regrets if you but heed expert ad- vice and back it up with a goodly number of subscriptions, .

FOR MURDER OF THREE (By Unit=d Press) Chicago, Sept. 30.—Carl Wander- cr, with a song on his lips to the wife he murdered, was hung at-the Cook county jail at dawn today. The mur-| derer of three—Mrs. Wanderer, her§ unborn babe, and a “poor boob”— went to death without show of fea: or outward sign of repentance. As he stood on the scaffold, Wanderer was asked if he had anything to say. He responded by singing in a clear voice: “Old Pal Why don’t you| answer me?” 1 A deathlike quiet settled on the | crowd until the last note was finished | and the hood was adjusted. Wander- er repeated clearly the prayers in- toned for him by his pastor. He stood erect, head and shoulders| thrown back. “The gamest man who ever was hung in this jail,” was the comment of attaches of the prison. 'ODD FELLOWS LODGE MEETS THIS EVENING The regular meeting of the I. O. 0. F. will be held this evening at Qdd Fellow’s hall at 8 o’clock. A mem- bers are urged to be present. STUDY CLUB ARRANGES FINE LYCEUM COURSE First Number of Course to Be Staged Here Is Humorist and Cartoonist The Woman’s Study club ,always striving to bring to Bemidji better entertainment, is again sponsoring a lyceum course. N The first number on this course is Alton Packard, a cartoonist and humorist of a distinctly different| type. He is not only a “funny man” | but a man with a real message, who knows how to make his art the med-| jum for his message. He is also a| concert pianist and sings several songs of his own compositon. He is described as “The 1921-1922 Pack- ard, swift as a Pierce-Arrow and as funny as a Ford.” Mr. Packard comes to Bemidji on October 14th. § On November 29 Betsy Lane Shep- herd comes here with her chamring personality and magnificent soprano voice.. Miss Shepherd is one of the most popular Victor artists on the dyceum circuit today. - Those..who ‘have heard her voice wil want to hear her again.

RAILWALKOUT | MAY OT TARE Next Move Is Apparently Left to the Committee on Grievances S m——— B. R. T. PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED TO WALKOUT Shop Crafts in Favor of Strike But Awaiting Action of Others Chicago, Sept. 30.—President W. G. Lee of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen last night said that if the strike vote cast by ninety per cent of the 186,000- members in the re- cent referendum on the wage reduc: tion should be supported by the griev- ance committee, a tentative strike or- der would be issued, effective only when and if other unions should strike. With this parting declaration, President W. G. Lee dispatched fifty- seven general chairmen of the union £ with written grievance to their homes last night instruction to call the committees, get their apprv approval of the strike vote and re- port back here next week. That the grievance committees will amorove the strike is a foregone con- clusion ‘at union headquarters. Lee expects to act on the commit- tee of instructions by the Brother- |hoods of Engineers, Conductors, En- ginemen and Trainmen, and the Switchmen’s union have™ completed the count of their 259,000 strike bal- lots, whigh will start here Monday. That the strike, even if ordered, will never actunally take place contin- ued to be the prevailing impression in union circles today. While Lee has .| promised to call the walkout if the committee so dircets, he bluntly told his ‘men in & general letter on Sep- tember 12 that he would be remiss in (Continued on Page 8) REICHSTAG RATIFIES TREATY OF PEACE TODAY Bill' Is in Senate Blocking to Anti-Beer Action Vote on Treaty (By United Press) Berlin, Sept. 36.—The Reichstag today passed a bill ratifing the treaty of peace with ~the United States.

That Beltrami county and four ad- joining counties furnished their share of the fighters in the recent war was clearly evidenced by the fact that 118 ex-service men appeared before the traveling squad of the Veterans’ urcau, which held hearings here Wednesday and Thursday, and aired their claims, both new and old. Of this number, four were taken with the squad to Thief River Falls, {where hearings are being held today |and tomorrow, since this number had {not been examined when the time came for the squad to move its head- quarters. ) A number of those whose claims were heard, and who were also ex- amined physically, were given trans- portation to the government hospitals in the Twin Cities, either for further {examination of treatment. Claims |for vocational training and compen- sation were also reviewed. 3 A large numbersof those who at- tended did not put in a request for transportation previously. Conse: quently, they were given their fare to their homes at the conclusion of the hearing, and will be reimbursed by the Minneapolis office of the bu- reau for their railroad fare here and also for their meals and lodging paid for by themselves. The squad carried two doctors, Dr. Bank of Minneapolis and Dr. St. Claire of Duluth. Mr. Warren of ke Veterans’ Bureau heard the claims, while Mr. Otis of the Red Cross as sisted him, and also aided in making out the applications and affidavits. A stenographer for the assistance of the doctors completed the squad.

Business, Botlj at Home phnd By CARL D. GROAT (United Press Staff Corerspon_dcnt) Berlin,Sept 30—Germany’s indus- Brady said he ex-|trial situation is booming. information ¥ Ity governmental finances, how- ever, are in a ruinous condition, with scant prospect of improvement in the near future. German industry has been gradu- ally but surely coming to the fore since/the revolution. Two summers ago everybody, except the far-seeing and those who had no propaganda to turn out, were saying that Ger- many was ‘‘ruined.” But her industrialists been idle in the meantime. And the workmen, formerly obsessed with “strike fever,” have long since pass- ed the stage where they hope to ac- hieve their end by stirkes on any and all occasions. In place of this strike fever has come the old pre-war “Ar- beitslust”—uwillingness or ‘desire to work—until now Germany has only around 400,000 unemployed. As a result of the growing recon- struction, Germany is now doing a tremondous business abroad and at home. She is cutting into the South American trade of America and En- gland, due mainly to the fact that her' exchange is so depreciated that these countries cannot compete with her. Stinmes, Krupp, and von Haniel have been busy consolidating smaller concerns, improving their processes and organizing for a campaign that ‘comprehends) sceuringy of a large slice of the world’s trade. Take Krupps, for instance! The world knows Krupps mainly for its gund and munitions, for its “Big Bertha” of wartime. But Krupp, while always employed to a certain extend on warlike work, has ever been tremendous peacetime steal in- dustry. 1Its products have been known the world over because of the sceret processas which madq their steel superior. Today, Krupps em- ploys about 99,000 workers, or 18, 000 more than before the way. This have not A WELL KEPT SCRAP BOOK TO AID IN W. C. T. U.

The arm was am- putated near the shoulder. The following article from the Cass Lake Times degeribes the acei- dent which occurred to Mr. Peter- son: Last Thursday evening in the duck fields near Winnibigoshish while he was paddling from the day’s hunt, a gun was accidently discharged in the canoe in which he was paddling and the shot completely riddled the left arm of Alfred (“Gafc”) Peterson. Luckily for Peterson, Dr. Borreson of Bemidji was in the hunting party and the injured arm was bandaged up with what little &m aid bandages they happened to gather among the hunters and the lad was taken to Bena where they caught a train to Be- midji Gangrene set in and despite the fact that young Peterson was weak from the terrible loss of blood during the ride from Bena, operation had to be made and the arm was am- putated near the shoulder, Peter- son went under the knife like a hero and is resting quietly at St. An- thony’s hospital at Bemidji and will be there for several months. How the accident happened is still a mys- tery, as it was dark and happened so quick that even Peterson doesn’t know what really happened. The gun used was a hammerless variety and was lying over one of the stays in the canoe when it went off, just catehing Peterson on his paddle arm. VETERANS’ BUREAU HOLDS HEARING AT THIEF RIVER (By United Rress) Thief River Falls, Sept. 30—World war veterans of Kittson, Rosseau, Marshall, Pennington and Red Lake counties are to receive help on their applications for ~claims from the “travelling headquarters” establish- ed here today. The bureau head- quarters will move to Crokston, Monday and hold forth there two days, increase is partly due to the fact that extra shifts must be installed to meet the eight-hour day equirement. But, it also means thx}t Kupps is now on a full peace footing ahd “going strong.” The last vestiges of gun manufacture have been swept away. Now, Krupps is a mammoth steel plant, making locumotive.s, car wheels, freight cars, machinery of various kinds. Krupps is merely a sample. WhA.I: is true of the achievement of this concern is true of virtually every line of German industrial endeavor. The only industry suffering a slump is ship-building. This is dull ,owing to the fact that Germany can now buy tonnage cheaper than she can con- struct it. She has, however, already placed the nucleus, of a new com- meyce fleet upon the seas, and every indication is that within the next few years she will again have “a place in the sun’ as respects ocean carrying. Germany had talked much of soc- ialization since the revolution, but has done nothing important to ac- hieve it. The great consolidations undertaken by such men as Stinnes ad von Haniel are socialistic in the sense of their all-inclusiveness, but are quite under private control. These consolidations are so tremen-~ dous as to rival the romantic com- binations of vast industries in Amer- 1ca. Tt can truly be said that German industry is flourishing. But, on the other side of the pitcure, Germany’s finances are in a despairing condi- tion. Swamped with debts and re- parations, her budget is sick. It is estimated that to meet her debts, in- cluding reparations, Germany must raise at least 100,000,000,000 paper marks a year; and must do an export business of 2,000,000,000 to 2,500,- 000,000 marks more annually than before the war. The German task is immense. Her industrial leaders, however, are striv- (Continued on Page 8) HOLD POULTRY CULLING SCHOOL HERE TOMORROW A’ poultry ‘culling’ school will be held tomorrow at the home of Mrs, E.
