President Tony ( Lafreniere of Grand Rapids conducted a most in- teresting out door -program around the bon-fire Thursday evening, which included singing, short talks and story telling by the various editors and visitors, Tony has the knack of getting the crowd inter- ested and keeping them so. He invited each man called upon to either tell a story, make a spcech ‘or sing a song and ordered him to call upon any person in the crowd to follow. The session lasted until long after the sound of taps by the soldier boys. The forestry board provided fine army tents and beautiful camp grounds among the towering pines of Itasca Park for the outing camp. MUSIC DURING PAGEANT , I8 FEATURE IN ITSELF Music lovers will be éspecially in- terested in the elaborate pageant which will be presented in connec- tion -with. the Northern. Mipncsota Fiic Wednesday, Thursday and ¥Fri! day. The music score for the pag- eant is well worth the - admission price in itself. Some 50 seicctions chosen from among the world’s greatest masterpieces arc used. The numbers range from grand opera to excerpts to country dances. All the episodes of the pageant have musi- ‘cal accompaniments suited) to the dramatic character of the scenes— incidents of romance, oi humor, of pathos, everything fvum the Indian scalp dance to the fairy drama and the thunderous “Over the 'Fop” is enacted to music expressing the son- timent of the scenc. Many beautiful vo:al numbers are used throughout th: pageant, In- dian songs with their weird minor themes, old ballads of the picneer days, rousing war sorngy, hymns, voyageur airs, camp songs and pop- ular melodies all figure in the great spectacle. A representative showing of local talent in the vocal and band numbers is madz2 possivle by the vast scope ofi the pagcant and listening to the music alone will be a great inspiration to all why zt- tend, Outings may come and outings may -go, ‘but the Northern Minneso- ta Editorial association goes: on for- ever. Many new faces are to be seen at the outing now being held, but there are lots of faces, there. Edi- tors: from-the south and- editors-from the north and their wives and child- ren are . attending this outing, one of the very best ever held by the Northern Minnesota Editorial’ as- sociationy Bemidji came in for its share of the entertainment for the editors, inasmuch as the outing is being held at Itasca state park, an hour’s auto ride from. this city. A large number of ‘the publishers who were unable to-attend the meeting at Park Rap- ids” Wednesday and the outing at the Park Thursday and Friday, came to Bemidji Friday afternoon to take part_in the entertainment offered by the Bemidji Civic and Commerce as- sociation.

Pioneer went to no added ex- pense in- running these pictures, merely using; those on hand, that number being practically exhausted. A large number of cuts of the old- timers have been lost at some time or other and some of the ‘best repro- ductions could not be made for that reason. It is felt that the series was highly successful and that it created added interest in the pageant. That is the purpose for which they were intended, ‘and no “kicks” have been entered against the use of any of those already shown.

Sentiment on Strikes Wellesley Hills Mass., August 12— The German question was discussed today by Roger W. Babson statistic- ian, who has been entangling the international and financial situation. “Germany has failed to meet her obligation on the indemnity = pay- ments,” says Mr. Babson, ‘“‘and like any other concern is judged bank- rupt. We face the same situation that we find when a business can not pay its debts, We either have.& re-organization and try to.get /it back on its feet or we call in the referee and judge it bankrupt and gcll its assets and put it out of bug- iness. “The world is now having a cred- itors’ meeting to decide what iy to be done with Germany. Up to :the present time France, the largest creditor, has been taking the pound of flesh. It is only within the past few days that she has offered any other proposition. Now, however, France secs that if she will let Ger- many off that.England = will let France off.

These.later developments are favorab! a3 and_strongly sumn}, re-organization of ‘G is possible., Y “If France on the other hand were to march an army to Berlin, and to collect the pound of flesh by force’ it is quite possible that this might align Russia, Italy and even possib- ly England with Germany and bring about another war. This, of course would be an undesirable situation from every point of view. Such ac- tion would undoubtedly cause & panic in our stock market, and would seriously embarrass our big banks. It would upsct business gen- erally,. We would not even exper- ience 'the busincss boom we had at the beginning of the European. war. The new gases and chemical weap- ons of warfare developed since 1918 can be made just as well in Europe as over here. “If, nowever, Germany has a friendly reorganization of her fin- ance it would mean much and & boom to American business, Such a re-organization would clear the air and overcome the fear of repudia- tion which keeps all foreign trans- actions in a muddle. It would do away with the uncertainty of the situation and if arranged to the mutual satisfaction of all parties concerned it would give the whole world the confidence it needs at this particular time. It would strengthen business everywhere. The (Continued on Page §) PAGEANT REHEARSALS NEED MORE ATTENTION Rehearsals i Tonight, 7:16,—Indian Braves 7:30—01d Settlers, 8:00,—Quadrille group.
