Way for Wood Working Industries All posible doubt concerning the ilocation: of ' a bircawood products plant in Bemidji in the very near future has been tleared up through a comunication received by the Civic and Commerce association from W. A, ‘Babbitt, manager of the Minnesota Lumber ' Associates, jrepresentatives of which were in Bemidji last week making arangements for the location " of a plant here. At the time the delegation left here, all details had been completed with the exception of arranging for a plant and power, It is now understood that the plan- ing mill of the Crookston Lumber company at plant No. 2 has been lcased for the = experimental run which will be for.the period of one year. At the end of that period, without doubt, arrangements will be made for a permanent location. The communication from Mr. Bab- itt in part follows: : “With reference to the project of strong enough without being forced through the system by other means than an artesian well. The water from this well is reported to be-too cold to keep the hands in it for any length. of time. Birchmont hotel is supplied by a series of artesian wells lclose by the hotel, all of which are considered very good, but this one is said to beat all of the others.

PUPOSKY FARMERS’ CLUB TO MEET FRIDAY NIGHT Assistant County Agent Edson establishing® a saw mill in Bemidji, [ Washburn left today for Blackduck to make a thorough test run on the [and Kelliher on busines pertaining white birch available in your terri- | to the farm bureau. Tomorrow tory, 1 am. pleased to advise that|night he will attend the meeting of the Minnesota Lumbe.r Associates |the Puposky Farmers’ club, at which have decided to undertake this op-|time the permanent organization of ération, and will proceed with the|this new body will be made. Visi- iinstallation of machinery and the|tors from Bemidji are especially in- purchase of raw material as rapidly|vitedts attend this meeting. In fact as circumstances will permit, “Without question; this prompt de- cision is largely due to the remark-~ able. and unusually ‘efficient organ- izafion of the busines men. The Associates all realize: that the co-op+ eration your people have so freely tendered is worth far- more to us in dollars and cents than any finan- cial inducement “to.locate” that your_enterprising community could possibly offer. Furthermore, . we know that your good organization will be sore if we do not collect on your offers of co-operation to the very limit. If the test run works out as we anticipate, you will have us in a position where we will have to co- operate with Bemidji in securing the location 6f wood working industries to use up part of our products of Standard Dimensin, “About the educational campaign, Mr. Thornley suggested that it might be of interest to the people of ,your territory not only to see an exhibit of the. various kinds and qualities of white birch, and learn what can and what cannot be utili- zed, but they would also like to see a fairly representative exhibit of the articles which are made from white birch. Possibly we might distribute some “silly souvenirs.” “If this appeals to your organi- zation, we would be glad to put it out under your auspices. Without doubt, you would avail yourselves of the opportunity to make a careful registration of all Kinds of birch which, in the opinion of the owners, would measure up to the specifica- tions, and could be delivered at a price mutually profitable.” It is quite probable that the asso- ciation wil larrange for such an ex- hibit of Birchwood and its ptoduftu at the Northern Minnesota Fair here August 15th to 19th, inclusive.

DETALLS COMPLETED FOR BOYS' BAND ENGAGEMENT Bemidji Organization May Play Concert at Lake Harriet on Sunday Before Fair Bandmaster G. O. Riggs returned ‘Wednesday night from Minneapolis where he motored Sunday with his son, Ronald, to make final arrange- ments for the engagement of the Bemidji Boy’s'band at the Minnesota State Fair this fall, He conferred with Secretary Canfield and reports that practically all the details at- tendent upon the engagement have been or will soon be completed. Mr. Riggs reports that everything is progressing nicely and that he is looking forward to a very enjoyable engagement. "Arrangements are now under way for a band concert to be given the Sunday evening preceeding the fair at Lake Hariet and it is quite likely that such a concert will be aranged. |. Mr. Riggs, while making this trip, assisted in advertising the Northern Minnesota Fair, the State Fair and the fact that the Bemidji band will play at the state fair, using a large banner on the rear of his car for the later purpose, and two Northern Minnesota fair banners on the sides of his car.

BEMIDJI, INN., THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1922 T AS HIGHWAYS IMPROVE Speed'i . nd ‘Careless Driging Are H l‘él,‘g,“lel of Bi;;; _Percentage of Mishaps Speeding lure on broad, smooth, straigtaway sections of the Minnesota trunk highway:system is running up accident totals with 'the raHroad grade crossings, sharp ' turns and other dangerous sections which are being made safe as rapidly as pos- sible, says the current bulletin of the state highway department. “The better the road, the greater is te inclination to overestimate safety and to speed,” said John H. Mullen chief highway engineer, “eliminating railroad grade crossings, clearing and widening curves, building guard rails and in other ways, the state is work- ing to make trunk routes 100 per cent safe. But careful driving is the first essential to highway safety as is shown by the large number of accidents where the road conditions are nearly perfect.” The Frazee Press cites an example and points the moral: The Detroit-Frazee highway is too good, at least for some drivers, and it proved to be that for a driver of a service truck last Friday when he lost control of his car and plunged off a small grade just east of De- troit, jimming up his truck and re- ceiving a bad injury to his leg when he was thrown against a stump. Something went wrong -with the car, sure thing. Nb harm comes from fast driving—until something goes wrong. There is usually something wrong with the bean of a guy who is always “stepping on ’er.” ‘“‘Another acci- dent? Too bad,” and the spced man- iac is on his way, hitting ’er up to 40 or 50 per. RENDEZVOUS OF STOLEN G0OODS FOUND IN SHACK Owners of automobiles and resi- dents of that community will un- doubtedly. be pleased to know that a rendezvous of stolen automobile tires, auto parts and equipment, car- penter tools, grease, picric acid caps, shovels, kodaks, rugs and other para- phernalia has been located by county authorities in a shack about ten miles southeast of . Blackduck. - Sheriff Andrew Johnson and Deputy. Sheriff George Shea, armed with a search warrant, visited that community just recently and located this store-house of stolen articles. A large number of residents of that community have missed various article from time to time and at last the rendezvous has been found. Now the authorities are looking for the 'parties concerned in {the gathering of this assorted loot and iti is understood that every effort will be made to apprehend the guilty It is believed that one band must have been operating in that community, using this shack as its storehouse. : MINNEAPOLIS MAN ROBBED OF $25 AND SHOES; BOUND Minneapolis, July 20—Blinded by by camphor and gagged, A. Earl ‘Hatcher was bound to one of the supports of the Nicolett bridge by two-men who invited him for a ride in an automobile. He was robbed of $25 and his shoes. He struggled for half an hour and freed himself. ATTEMPT MADE |PEcu.Botevthnotint | TODAY T0 OPEN Legal Action Probably Will be One of Government’s Next Moves Soon ACTION AGAINST BOTH STRIKERS AND OWNERS Daugherty Declares Shortage Of Coal Is Imevitable Any Event Now First steps to reopen the country’s coal mines and replenish the sup- plies, which have sunk to a level that is paralysing industry, were under way in coal producing states. Governor Groesbeck of Michigan announced he was ready to assume state control of the bituminous mines and to open and operate them with either union or non-union labor. In wetern Pennsylvania, armed &nd mounted guards protected the prop- erty of the two mines that prepared to resume operations. ‘With complete éollapse of rail peace negotiations announced from Chicago and a crisis of union and open shop interests imminent in 28 coal producing states, the country faced the full gravity of an indus- trial crisis. The two great strikes—the coal in its 111th day and the rail walk-out in its 20th—were coupled together in a strangling grip on the nation’s transportation and industry. [ (By United Press) Wasington, July 20, (James T. Kolbert)—Legal action probably will be one of the government's next. raoves to end the menace of a nation- wide mine and rail strike,: Attor- neys for the Department of Jus- tice now are examing a mass of re- ports from all parts of the country to determine whether the government can prosecute on the grounds that two tie-ups are a conspiracy to re- strain interstate commerce. Action may be taken against the strikers and employers. One angle now under investigation is whether any agreement exists between the striking miners and operators. Should thesé. charges be substantiat- ed it is held that the government would act against the strike leaders. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation 8T Labor, made a threat of “sympathy strikers” in a ‘statcment today to the United Press. (By United Press) Wasington, July 20, (By James T. Kolbert)—A coal shortage this winter iis ipcvitable pkven Jf doal production could be resumed at once at full capacity, Attorney General Daugherty declared today. The officials declared that a coal rationing system wil have to be put into effect when cold weather comes. Loyal Ol?}ia' of!Moose Plans Big Timg for All 'Duri,ng ,Bazaar, Next \y&gk A During the Moose bazaar all next weck on the lots west of the Rex theatroy special \arrangements ‘will be made to amuse the kiddies. This is quite appropriaté 'to the Moose, because one of the strongest and most appealing features of the order is the wonderful school and home at Mooseheart, where over 1,000 or- phaned children are being edpeated. Consequently, for the Moose bazaar the interest of Bemidji kiddies are being looked after, and, especially so since there has been made a rule against their spending any moncy on other features which the grown- ups can enjoy. « For the youngsters there will be a big merry-go-round cvery day. There are negotiations in progress to have “Mutt and Jeff” to appear each evening. At this time of the year “Santa Claus” is not very busy and he is confidently expected to appear on at least one evening. Each evening several special en- tertainment features are planned. Among those already engaged are the Agony Quartette and Roy Papermast- er. Each night the program will be different and there will be a number of surpriscs., The lodge’s publicity committee will have on sale Moose pennants and badges, balloons, horns and a dozen other kinds of noise-makers toys and novelties. Tlic kidides will find much at the bazaar to interest them, the committee announces. RED RIVER VALLEY TOUR LEAVES CROOKSTON TODAY Crookston, July 20-—The annual Minnesota Red River Valley tour started from Crookston today. The tour will join the University tour from Moorhead to Crookston. FIFTY- TWO EXAMINED AT CLINIC WEDNESDAY The chest clinic held Wednesday at the offices of Drs, Garlock & Gar- lock is called one of the most success- ful ever held here. Fifty-two per- sons, were given free examinations under the auspices of the Southern Beltrami County Public Health asso- ciation. The examinations were con- ducted by Dr. R. A, Laney of Lake Julia Sanitorium, assisted by Miss Beth MacGregor, Red Cross Public Health scrvice nurse, and Miss Ida Lincoln, also of Bemidji. Six persons who had previously been examined at a similar clinic were examined again Wednesday and it was found that their cases had been arrested. Seven were found to have active symptoms and sanitorium treatment was advised. Nincteen were found to be normal. Sixteen were found to have trouble with glands and defective teeth and were advised to have these attended to. Four others were asked to report for further examination later. At the present time the sanitor- ium is filled to capacity but as soon as any room is available the seven recommended for sanitorium treat- will be admitted. The Southern Beltrami County Public Health association wishes to thank Drs. Garlock & Garlock for the use of their offices and the help- ful treatment accorded those in ment will be admitted. WIDOW OF JOHN WAGNER MURDER VICTIM PASSES (By Unitad Press) Austin, July 20—The widow of John Wagner died late last night {rom wounds inflicted by a person who killed her husband with an axe two wecks ago today. Mrs.l Wagnux- died without giving au}horltlus any information.. She said she did not know what struck her. Death came a few hours after the will of Wagner was filed for probate. The will totaled $135,000. The death of the widow is expected to result in a contest of the will. One of the children is Mrs. August Detloff, whose husband has been held without charge since the murder. The death of Mrs. Wagner probably means a double inquiry.. ROSEN RYE IS TOO BIG FOR ORDINARY BINDER Harry Gunsales has a field of Ro- sen rye on his farm south of Be- midji which is too big for an ordinary binder to handle. This rye stands as high as a man and is well filled and should yicld over 30 bushels to an acre, according to .the statement of Assistant County Agent Edson Washburn, who ‘hgs fscen this 30 acre tract, Mr. Wahburn reports in various potato ficlds a few cases of Blatck Leg, a serious discase in some districts buti which can be controlled by pull- ing out and destroying all affected vines from the ficld during the sum- mer and treating the seed in the spring before planting. NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS FAVOR POOLING OF WHEAT Grand Forks, July 20—George C. Jewett, gencral manager of the Northwest Wheat Growers associated is expected here today to confer with the North Dakota branch of which George Duis of this city is the head, The form of contract with the ele- vators handling the grain was recently determined on at a meeting here of the directors.

He plans to call on all business and professional men and requests that the project be given their thorough consideration. ITALY HAS NOVEL PLAN TO AID HOME SITUATION International Housing Con- gress at Rome in September to Study Italy’s Plan By Henry Wood (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rome, July 20—Not at all dis- couraged by the failure to bring a- bout Kuropean reconstruction by means of the Genoa conference, Italy will immediately taclgle another world-wide problem via the interna- tional congress route, This time it will be the housing , which, as a result of the war, remains almost as acute in the west- crn hemisphere as on the Européan contincnt. With an international congress for the economical and co-operative con- struction of apartment houses, to be held at Rome, September 21 to 26, Italy plans to show the rest of the world just how she has solved i [the problem herself and to put the fruits of her experience at the dis- position of the others. The congress will be able to see at Rome whole quarters ana suburbs composcd cxclusively of huge apart- ment houses, covering acres and acres of ground, which have been built, for example, by certain co-operative Eighth Grade Graduates of Ungraded Schools are to Receive Diplomas SANBERG OF CROOKSTON WILL DELIVER ADDRESS Exercises to be Held Here at Methodist Church Friday Forenoon at 11 o’clock i Eighth grade graduation exercises for the ungraded elementary schools of Beltrami county will be held to- morrow at 11 o’clock in the forenoon at the Methodist church in this city. G. H. Sandberg, superintendent of schools at Crookston, will give the graduation address. J. C. McGee, county superintendent of schools of Beltrami county has asked that as many as possible 'of the 93 who have finished the eighth grade this year in the ungraded el- cmentary schools of the county he present at the exercises. All friends of cducation are invited to be pres- ent. The following program will be given: piano solo, Miss Ragnhild Moe, vocal solo, Harold Scarles, Address, Supt. G. H. Sandberg, vocal solo, Harold Secarls, presentation of diplo- mas, J. C. McGhee. On account of] the size of the county and the distance to be travel- ed, it is impossible for the majority of the graduates to be present, but it is thought that at least one-third. of them will attend. Diplomas will be given to those who have received certificates from the State Depart- ment of Education by passing the High School Board examination in ‘arithmetic, Grammar and composition, Geography, History and Spelling. Considerable pressure has been brought upon him to have Supt Mc- Ghece lower this standard that there might be a larger graduating class, He believes that this high standard sends a better qualified class of students to {the | high schools and holds a number of pupils in the grades who would quit as soon as the diploma is reccived. Without lowering the standard, the number of graduates has yearly been increased during Supt. McGhee’s ad- ministration from 25 to 45 per cent. He believes that this steady increase may continue for several years, if parent, teachers and the county sup- erintendent will work harmoniously together for better instruction and jurors for the purpdpe: of trying |cert this week, the band to hold reg- John Lence, who -is. charged with|ular rehearsal this evening and Sat- the murder of Deputy Sheriff E.[urday evening.
