A greater number of robberies by women have been reported during the first part of the present year than ever before, While women crim- inals were formerly connected with robberies involving a small amount now the charges often run into thousands of dollars. Most of the women robbers gain entrance into homes by posing as maids. Police today sought a maid who gave her name as Agnes Swanson who was employed at the home of Owen ‘Brewer, wealthy gold coast merchant. When the family was away from home, on the third day after the maid was employed. she walked out with $15,000 worth of jewelry and silverware. MINNESOTA CREAMERIES OPEN NEW YORK OFFICE State Association Takes Over Entire Establishment of Danish Producers (Farm Bureau News Service) The co-operative creameries of Minnesota at last have their own di- rect representative on the castern market. The Minnesota Co-operative Creameries association, Inc, an- nounced today that M. Sondergaard, American manager for the United Danish Butter Associations, Inc., has become its New York representative. The Minnesota association has taken over the entire establishment of the Danish organization at 105 Hudson street, New York City. For the first time in history, the dairy industry of Minnesota, ns a whole, has its own agency to protect its interests on the important ter- minal markets of'the east. Prices, freight charges, scorings, supply and demand and every other phase of marketing in which the incomes of Minnesota co-operative ereamery pat- rons are concerned will be watched by the New York office. The new, eastern office already has done service for Minnesota farmers, according to A. J. McGuire, man- ager of the state association. Mr. Sondergaard has reported the arrival in New York of the first carlond of eggs shipped co-operatively by Min-| nesotn farmers® under the state-wide egg marketing plan worked out by the creameries association at a gon- ference last _month. The carlond came from Glencoe. The possibil- ities of this marketing plan were in- dicated, Mr. McGuire says, in the report from the New York office. “Phe carload of eggs from Glen- coe is receiving many favorable com- ments here because of the fine qual- ity of the eggs,” Mr. Sondergaard said. “I am informed that these eggs are some of the finest that have ever arrived in the market at this time of the year. If Minnesota can furnish this grade of cggs, 1 see no reason why we should not be doing a big business in eggs as well as butter.” Never before, Mr. McGuire said, have Minnesota farmers been allowed to find out, as a whole, that their eggs were recognized as a high-class product on the eastern markets. The new office of the Minnesota dairy farmers on the New York market, he said, will protect the interests of the producers by seeing that Minne- sota products are marketed at the highest price their quality commands, and that the farmers get the full benefit of higher prices paid for high quality. \ That Bemidji will have a new hospital by early tall is now prac- tically an assured fact. Indications are that the Luthe Hospital Association will begin one unit of their new, modern, fire- proof hospital soon. Some thirty thousand dollars has already been subscribed and prac cally ll"of this has been sccured outside of the city of Bemidji. ‘fhese subscriptions are now due and are coming in rapidly.

Ob- servance of the day will be started with a public parade at 10 a. m., the marchers to assemble at the City building at 9:45. After” leav- ing the City building, the line of march extends south on Minnesota avenue to second street, east to Beltrami avenue, thence north to Fourteenth street, west to Minnesota avenue, thence to Irvine avenue, and Greenwood etery. Il ex-service men are expected to take part in this program in uni- !:xrm il possible. The National Guard and Naval Militia_units are to march in formation. The G. A. R. and the G. A. R, Circle will be escorted to the cemetery in auto- mobiles. School children are not to march in the parade this year, but are expected to take part in the exercises at the cemetery. The Ju- venile band will furnish the music for the line of march as well as at the cemetery. Com e plans for the Legion members will be announced to them at the regular meeting of the post to be held this evening at 8 o’clock at the rooms of the Civie and Com- merce association. This mecting is of direct importance to every mem- ber of the post and it is desired that there be a large attendance. The services at the cemetery will be begun with a musical.selection by the band, followed by a reading by William Schroeder, commander of the G. A. R. post. Prayer by the chaplain of the G. A. R. will then be observed, followed by a roll call by Adjutant Cheney of the R. H. Carr post. The adjutant will then place flowers on the G. A. R, memor- ial monument. This will be followed by a salute by a firing squad of ex- service men of the World war. Taps will then be sounded by Bugler F letson, followed by a salute to the dead. Benediction will be pronoun- ced by the chaplain of the G, A. R, followed by music by the band and the singing of Amecrica by the as- sembly. Graves of all ex-service men in the two local cemeteries will then be decorated by the school chil- n, through a fund now being yaised by popular subscription. A much larger sum is needed for this purpose than has already been sub- scribed and it is urged that the mer- chants of Bemidji donate at once to insure the proper decoration of graves, The afternoon program will be held at the new armory, beginning at 2:30 with a selection by the Be- midji Audult band. The audience will then sing “The Star Spangled Banner,” led by Mrs. Dorothy Tor- rance McMillian, Rev. L. P. War- ford will pronounce the invocation, followed by a solo by Dr. E. R. Two. A sclection will then be given by a Ladies’ quartet. Frank Gratton will give a vocal solo, followed by the Gettysburg Address by Lester Smith, A male quartet will then en- tertain with an appropriate selection. Rev. Wm, Elliot pastor of St. Bar- tholomew’s Episcopal church of this city, will give the address of the day and a very able address is ns- sured. Rev. Elifot is a_ forceful speaker and entirely capable of ad- dressing and holding the attention of such a large audience as is ex- pected on this occassion. Then will follow the singing of “Ameriea” by the audience, led by Mrs. McMillian, Benediction will be pronounced by Rev. Warford. The recreation Billiard ~ Parlor offers a prize of a_one-pound hox of candy or a box of 25 cigars to the Bemidji player making the most safe hits in the bascball game here next Sunday against St. IHilaire.
