A large attendance witnessed the second game in which Bemidji has played] this year on home grounds. 'The Juve- nile band met the visiting team at the station and escorted the crowd to the fair grounds. A number of se- lections were played during the game which added “pep” to the contest. Grand Rapids won the toss and de- fended the west goal. Bemidji kicked ofi to Right Half Miller on the Grand Rapids 10-yard line. Miller returned the ball about 20 yards, where Be- midji took it after four downs. On the next play Neumann made 12 yards, and atter a series of line plunges, the ball was carried to Be- nmudjr’s 8-yard line. Boyce went over for a touchdown on a line smash through the Grand Rapids right side of line. Davis missed goal. The remainder of ‘the first quarter and of the game saw the ball see- sawed back and forth, little “head- way being made by either side. In the second half the ball was in Bemidji territory most of the time and once Grand Rapids got within 15 yards of the goal, but lost the ball on the fourth down. & o Bemidji’s forward passing pioved to be very poorly played, but the line put up a stiff game: The visitors’ offense was good and their forward passing worked well. Coach Smith plans to correct the errors in the team before next Fri- day when it is expected that Park _Rapids will play the locals here. Park Rapids defeated Blackduck 18 to 6, and this indicates that Bemidji must put up a better game than that play- ed Friday if it intends to beat the Hubbard county squad. The common sentiment of local fans who saw the game is that they are glad that Bemidji defeated Grand Rapids, but they are not satisfied with the brand of football displayed, believing that the score for Bemidji would have been much larger if they had put up the same class of game which they had been playing before. The line-up follows: & Vg the entire week and \ave rooms to offer are weommodate the visitors Supetiftendent McGhee that it be understood that the insti- tute program is separate from that bf the education, association until the two meetings join Thursday eve- | ning, since there seems to be some misunderstanding by the teachers who contemplate attending.

Dailey warns all drivers of vehicles that they must make a clear street for the fire de- partment truck whenever the siren has announced a fire call. Frequently the department is hindered seriously on account of other autoes trying to cut in ahead of the fire truck, caus- ing the driver of the truck to limit his speed to aveid serious a~cidents. Drivers of vehicles of any kind are advised to draw up on the side of the street when the siren is sounded and then wait to see which way the truck is traveling. P A $25 fine is provided“to punish offenders, and Chief Dailey an- nounces that he will turn in a com- p!r\int\if any more violations of the rule are made, The two bandits who shot Ness were still at large at noon. Descriptions of the men were given by the son of the proprietor who was present when Ness was shot. FIRE DESTROYS FOUR PLACES OF BUSINESS IN N. D. TOWN (By United Press) Minnewaukan, N.

D e JUST EIGHT MORE WORKING DAYS REMAIN IN " SECOND PERIOD OF SALESMANSHIP CAMPAIGN Time Now Spent Taking Subscriptions Is Worth Far More to Club Members Than the Same Amount of Time Spent During Home-Stretch Period.’ Those candidates who make the most of their time during this sec- ond period of the campaign—while subscriptions count more credits than they will efer again count—are go- ing to gain an advantage that will be mighty hard for the others to over-| come during the third and last period. If you failed to do your best dur- ing the first period this sccond pe- riod is your one best chance to make up for lost time, catch the leaders and. pile up a credit reserve that will carry you on to success and the | grand prize you wish to win at the final count of the credits. And, in any case, you can’t afford to put off until the last period of the campaign the work you should be doing now. It is a human failing to do that. But you wiil find that the last period of the eampaign, when you want to own after October 29, at the White Hou bscriptions count for fewer cred- lits than they do now, you will not be able to do all you should and pile up a large enough credit total to be sure of the prize you want to win. | With so big a list of unusually. val- uable pr you can’t well afford to take the chance of having just a few thousand too few credits. Several hundered thousand too many credits will be better, s r and more prof- itable. And now the time to get those dxtra credits.

T, Declares There Is Nothing Else for the Workers to Do [RN—— STRIKE COMMITTEE NOW MAPPING OUT PROGRAM N Railroad Executives Agree on Another Slash in Wages Despite Strike Vote — Chicago, Oct. 15. (By Carl Victor Little) .—Powerful railroa unions, turned down cold in an effort to help negotiate with their employers, must strike or back down._A strike seems certain. “What clse is there left to do, but strike?” W. J. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trhinmen, said in reply to a question as the 500 eneral chairmen, representing 2,000,000 ruilroad werkers, started their session here today. “1f T were & betting man I would bet there would be a strike,” Lee said. Confronted with the most serious rebuff in the experience of railroad unionism the workers’ representa- tives were in an angry mood. “I do not sce how the roads have the nerve to suggest another wage cut when they know we have voted to strike,” Lee declared. The strike committee of the union already is in session mapping out plans “for the walkout. ‘Adding fur- ther to the strike temper of the union information from high railroad ex- ceutives today was that the 10 per nt slash in railrond wages for skilled lnbor and the 25 per cent c¢ut for unskilled work agreed on at the employers’ meeting, would be placed in effect just as soon as the pay rolls can be changed without waiting for'action by the United States Railroad Labor Board. Some railroad high executives said there would be cutting of wages by November 1. This could be done with- out violating the transportation act, the executives declared. A dispute must have arisen between the work- ers and employers before the cas can be brought to the board. The roads, they declared, could arbitrarily cut wages, the men would appeal for relief and the hearing would be called. The whole procedure was mapped out in Washington last week.
