TEAM SHOWS LACK OF EXPERIENCE Locals Expected to Improve Considerably Before Game Here Next Friday Bemidji high school’s first venture into football this season has resulted in a one sided victory, altnough the brand of the game put up is not con- sidered up to ‘the standard of this school. Bemidji defeated Fosston Ligh school at Fosston Thursday af- ternoon by a score of 38 to 0 in the {iirst football game between these two teams since 1917, Fosston’s over whelming defeat is largely due to inexperience on the gridiron and not to the strength of the Bemidji elev- en. However, it is expected that the next few weeks will see the Be- midji team improve greatly and the next game, which is to pe played here next Friday or Saturday with either Cass Lake or- ‘International Falls, is sure to witness ‘a better brand of football on the part of Be- ‘midji. Touchdown Opens Game Fosston won the toss and chose to defend the north goal. Rhea kick- ed off’ across the goal line and a Bemidji man recovered the ball for a touchdown within less than 30 sec- onds after the opening of ‘the game.

Aamodt materialize. He has se- cured suitable labels for the market- ing of high gradé potatoes and these labels are registered under the brands “Northern Lights Brand” and “Chief Bemidji Brand.” The former brand will be shipped as sced potatoes ‘and the latter as high grade table stock, using only U. S. Grade No- 1 or better. These brands will become Known throughout the entire northwest and it is Mr:"Aamodt’s plan that strictly high grade stock be sent under these labels at all times, so that when that brand is called for the buyer will know absolutely that he is getting the best quality obtainable.

" EDUCATIONAL: FEATURE sk | éx'i‘elnding By d Reiuln Courses to . Junior Citizens Is an Washington, Sept., 22 (Capital News Service)—The * -Chautauqua system is a ‘fixture in American life Begun wheh ‘‘educational and ‘re- creational facilities ‘were difficult to obtain in smaller communities, the system has made a place for itstif in rural and semirural America, which grows with the increase of knowledge and transportation facil- ities. The benefits of Chautauqua are now to be provided for childfen in cornection with “grown-up”” Chau- tauqua. & The Chautauqua Managers’ As- sociation of America and Canada has announced a plan for a National Junior Chautauqua .organization, which will have the services of an advisory committée of four of the best known authorities in the coun- try- on young people’s development to coordinate the work into a nation- al unit and map out a comprehens- ive plan for a period of years. The advisory committee consists of Dr. Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary of the National Child Labor Com- mittee, Washington, D. “C.;" Dr. S. Josephine Baker, director, Bureau Child Hygiene, Department of Health, New York City; Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, professor of recreation Teachers’ College Columbia Univers- ity, New York City; O. H. Benson, director Junior Achievement Bureau Fastern States League, Inc, Spring- field, Mass. “The directors of the childrens’ work in the various Chautauqua systems of the country, met recent- Iy 'in Chicago and organized the Na- tion Assoetatiori of Junior Chautau- qua Directors.

Na- |turally, with American wages paid by the Government to sailors on shipping board vessels, higher than obtainable under any other ‘flag, foreign seamen have flocked to ships under the Stars and ‘Stripes. In such numbers did they come that more than a third of our crews were not citizens of the country whose pay they took. Those in authority, becoming. alarmed, began to give preference to seamen of American birth, or naturalization, and recuiting officers were instructed to expedite the Americanization of American ships built with American money to serve American interests. This order has borne fruit, and according to recent statistics, the end of the fiscal year saw 92 per cent of the 85,000 sea- men employed Americans, either by birth' or naturalization. It is pointed out that not only is this policy best serving American in- terests in times of peace, but that in the event of war the United States will be able to call on 2 much larger body of trained men, both for trans- port work and for recruits for an expanding Navy than if & third or Tore of its crews could not be used Eecause of foreign citizen ship.

Turks and B, sh Continu o Aircraft /Att OPEN ON OCTOBER 15 Approximatéely 630 small game licenses -have been issued to date at the office of County Auditor A. D. Johnson, this number comparing very favorably with the number issued a year ago. However, with the opening of the partridge season on October 15, it is expected that the number of small game licenses this year will far surprass last year’s total, since there was no open season on partridge, last year- A large number of the small game licenses already issued were granted to women, showing that many more women are hunting ducks this year than last. The season for quail, partridge or ruffed grouse, opens Oct. 15 and continues open until Nov. 30, both dates inclusive. Only one species of grouse is legitimate game this year. There 'is a closed season on the others. *“Part- ridge,” and “ruffed Grouse” refer {o the same species. The season is closed on prairie chicken or pinnated grouse, sharp- tailed or white-breasted grous, Can- ada or spruce grouse, Chinese or ringneck or English pheasant.

IS NOW IN THREE SECTORS Forces on Bulgarian Front, Is New Report Today (By United Press) Constantinople, Sept. 22—Air- craft attacks on a large scale will probably mark the outbreak of ac- tual hostilities between the British and Turks. With the Turks bringing up heavy artillery and hurrying shock. troops from Smyrna toward | sembled powerful aireraft squad- rons behind the line and are ready to let loose the minute. Mustapha Kemal’s forces cross the dead line —the border of the neutral zone— violation of which means war. X Tanks, army cars and other fight- ing machines 'dé¥éloped in the world war are being rushed to the Near East. The Mslertis" e assembled in \great strength along the dead line, according to reports filtering back. The British troops, dacked by big guns, are ready for any emergency. The British strength ‘has been placed in three séctors as follows: First: At Chanak, the key city, at the narrowesé part of the Dard- anelles: The Turks must take this position before their forces can cross the straights. A strong British de- tachment is’entrenched here and be- hind them lies a linésu of de- stroyers ready to give the soldiers artillery support. Second: In the Ismid peninsula The peninsula, about 30 miles wide is the only means of approach by land to the Bosporous and Constan- tinople. The British have entrench- ed themselyes at many stragetic points from which their heavy guns of war can drop huge shells any where within a range of 20 files. Third: In Constantinoplee Here the British are prepared to put down any uprising by the use of machine guns. Strong detachments of troops are being kept in the city to cope with trouble behind the lines. facing each other in war threats at the Dardanelles, Jugo-Slavia today started concentration of forces on the Bulgarian front, according to word received here. The 'Jugo-Slavia concentration on the border, it was stated, was start- ed by fear that the Russian Soviet army would pass through Bulgaria to the aid of Mustapha Kemal, lead- er of the Turkish nationalists, and invadé the Balkan states which the Turks seek to reconquer. « R’member Jugo-Slavia Is Concentrating | the new front, the British have as-| With Dritish and Turks already | MANITOBA MAY FORFEIT " |British Assembling Powerful ' AID IN ROAD BUILDING (By United Press) Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 22—Man- itobe may forfeit most of her gift of $1,602,000 from the federal gov- ernment for. road building. There remains but one full con- | siruction year—1923—for the prov- ince to carry out her obligations and building the roads, paying 60 per |cent of the cost._ |- Of this -total less than $500,000 has been earned by the province and indications are that the full amount will not be earned but that well over half will be forfeited. In order to carn the full allotment the province would have to'spend $2,000,000 and in view of the expressed views of economy of the farmer party now in power here, this hardly will be done Roads through the province, except a few of the main arteries which are gravelled, are in a disgraceful con- dition. Auto traffic on the mud roads is made impossible for 24 hours af- ter each rainfall and many busi- ness firms in the city which deliver produects by heavy trucks suffer con- siderably.

CONGRESS CLOSES RUN ~ OF NEARLY 18 MONTHS (By United Press) ‘Washington, Sept. 22—Many sen- ators and congressmen already have left for their homes. Those who re- mained are the clean up squad. They go today, and by tomorrow the wheels of the nation’s law making body will be at a dead stop after running continuously for nearly eighteen months. The present congress has been at work almost continuously since the Harding administration took hold on March 4, 1921. Disposition of the government owned power and ni- trate projects at Mussel Shoals, Alabama, and the Anti-Lynching law and the bill covering a loan to Li- beria are the principal pending measures of importance upon which congress has not finally acted. Today the latter two are before the senate but with only meager chances of passing. It has been a farmers’ congress due largely to the activity of the powerful farm bloc. Analysis was that congress has far outstripped many of its predecessors in the amount of legislation relating to the farmers.

LASTING IMPRESSION MADE BY CONVENTION —— Club Women and Special News Writers Well Impressed With North Country Not only were the club women, who attended the state convention of the Minnesota = Federation of Women’s clubs here last week, well impressed with what they saw in the north country, but the special news writers sent here by the Twin City newspapers were also well impress- ed- This fact is borne out by many splendid articles which these young ladies prepared for publication in their respective paers. A fine example of the impression made is shown in a lengthy article by Miss Amy McGuifin in the St. Paul Pioneer Press of Sunday, Sept. 17, the lead of which is as follows: “The charm of the north with its pine trees and virgin forests will not soon leave the minds of the fed- erated club Women of Minnesota. At the annual convention at Bemidji delight with the city and the sur- rounding country, ideal for the pur- pose of a large convention, was ex- pressed by 400 delegates and vis- itors., Although numerous big ques- tions beside the routine convention subjects occupied the program, it was fitting that one of the principal addresses, that on “Minnesota Forests and Forest Protection,” by W. T. Cox, state forester, should have been given in a city set in the heart of the wonderful trees of Minnesota. Perhaps more than ever the ques- tion-of forest preservation will have the support of organized club wo- men of the state. . “Besides, the big subjects dis- cussed and the practical suggestions offered, the hospitality, friendliness and efficiency of the pemidji women will be long remembered. Gay and informal functions dotted the more | serious side of the business in hand and music by many local musicans played a big part in the entertain- ment of the guests. “The pine tree, symbol of the north country, birch bark name cards bearing a icture of Chief Bemidji Indian tepees and a typical north’ woods cabin decorated the large auditorium where the sessions where held. Seldom has there been n such elaborate display of the e and fir trees as lined the walls of the convention hall: HERE SUNDAY | of France Meets Curzon of Britain; Try to . ‘Avert Hostilities - Poincare = BRITISH ARE SENDING MORE TROOPS TO WAR Greeks Reported By Turks to Be Killing Moslems Thru.' out “Thrace " (By Unfted Press) Paris, Sept. 22—France and Brit- ain made an eleventh hour attempt today to avert; hostilities in the hear East by getting together ~on the Turkish policy with war clouds hang- ing low over the Dardanelles: Pre- mier Poincare of France and For- eign Minister Curzon of Britain met here. - When they met France and Brit- ain were far apart on their attitude toward the Turks. France: held that the Turks must be dealt-wiTh gently and the claims to Thface and -the Dardanelles settled - by diplomacy, Britain standing firm in her resolve not to yield to the Turkish demands until the peace conference s held. The British troops were ‘at Chanak on the banks of the Dardanelles, facing the assembling of the Turkish hosts. The French cabinet met today and " |gave full backing to Poincare’s at- titude that the Near East crisis must be settled by diplomacy and not hy force of arms. It was decided that France would not recede from:Ter previous near East policy- Lord Cuf- zon informed Poincare that the Brit- ish government had carefully ‘con- sidered the whole situation and had decided it would be out of the ques- tion to yield to the 'Turks.
