The score by innings will be re- ceived locally by a number of con- cerns, among them being The Pioneer, office ,the :Recreation Billiard Parlor and the Markham hotel. Interest in the series seems to be at a low mark on'account of both New York teams winning the pennants in their respec- tive leagues.

League champion- ship have slipped down from 6 to 5 and some of the Giant supporters Are getting even money.. Nothing in particular has happened to hurt the chances of the Yankees or bolster the Giants. The Giants are merely re- flecting the sentiment that no team is worthy of big odds in a seven-game series.

Col. William S. Barker, head of' the Northwestern division of the Army, will be present at this meeting. Col- Barker is perhaps the. best. inter- nationally known officemin the Salya- tion Army, he having had under his command all of the Salvation Army workers overseas during the World War. His headquarters at present are in Mineapolis. At this meeting plans will ‘be dis- cussed and formulated for the annual appeal for funds to be made in Be- midji in the near future. The bud- get will be drawn up -and details for the appeal will be. arranged. E. A. Barker is president of, the Advisory board, which consists of 15 Bemidji residents. Judge C: W, Stanton is the first vice-president; C. W. Warfield, second vice-presi- dent; W. L. Brooks,, treasurer; and A. D. Johnson, secretary. Members of the board include: J. L. Elwell, H. Z. Mitchell, T. C. Bailey, Rev. L. P. Warford, J C. West, F. R.: Dux- bury, C. L, Isted, Mrs. E. H.’ Mar- cum, Mrs. A. P. White and Mrs. E. ‘W. Johnson.

The Salvation Army is not simply an orgamzauon dispensing relief and aid to those in temporal need. It deals fundamentally with the moral and spiritual-uplift of the needy ones to whom it graciously ministers with comforts of clothes, fuel and food.

Efforts to strengthen demand was started in Crow Wing county. where in co-operation with E. G.

He was a caller at the Pioneer office today. “The mistake I made was in leav- ing Northern Minesota and going to North Dakota,” he stated, “and also in not having the Bemidji Pioneer sent to me. I missed the Bemidji paper very much.” He also stated that conditions in Northern Minesota and Bemidji in particular are so much better than in North Dakota that he \xrgcs residents here to remain. “The two politics} fachons out there are impossible to satisfy,” he reports. “Their strife is’even enter- ing into the church work. To a casual visitor, North Dakota looks all right. but when you live there and find out the facts, that is another thing. A great many of the people, especially the; farmers, are so loaded down with debts that they cannot get out.” FEDERAL GRAND JURY AT FARGO HAS BUSY TERM (By United Press) Fargo, Oct. 3—Twenty-five cases will be presented to the federal grand jury sitting here today by Col.

Included in the ecases which the jury will investigate are one national bank case, liquor violations, postoffice embezzlements, violations of the in- come tax law, use of mails to de- fraud and sending of obscene matter through the mails.

Minneapolis. Carl came here several days ago and states that he was to have a position as fireman and objected to doing ordinary janitor work. In his German brogue he expressed himself rather emphatically and his outbursts were somewhat mis-understood. As a result, he got himself into no end of trouble. i The impression he gave attendants at the Sanitarium was that he was coming to Bemidji and get his money from A. P. Ritchie, president of the Sanitarium board, and intimated that he might use a gun if necessary. Sheriff Andrew Johnson and Dep- uty George Shea werc at the post- office when Carl arrived and he was taken' over to. the court house before Judge S. M. Koefod and examined as to his sanity. The doctors and the judge found Carl entirely sanc alright but con- cluded that he talked too much for his own good and told him so. Carl was discharged and he declared that he would write up the Sanitarium and the board in Minneapolis dailies, telling the world that 11: was an unfair institution. een.em- - Pure-Bred and Grade Cattle, “Healthland” and Poultry Shows Combined NORTHWEST EXPECTED TO ATTEND EN MASSE Auto Delegations Will Be Met . At Twin City Limits and Escorted Into City One thousand head of pure bred and 350 to 500 head of grade dairy cattle, two miles of modern factory machinery and barn equipment, a $32,000 “Healthland” show for mothers and children, 3,000 stand- ard bred.chickens, a farm home pho- tograph display, junior dairy cattle breeders from all over the country and a score of breed association meet- ings will challenge the interest of visitors-to the importance of tne dairy industry when the 1922 National Dairy Exposition opens its gates Saturdap in the Twin Cities. This great educational factor in agriculture has made two consecu- tive visits .to the Northwest, giving this region the benetits of 16 years continued success in showing the American public the value of dairy products and their effect .on the health of the nation. It is improbable that the show will soon return to the Northwest. Con- sequently the farmer who has not completed plans to attend, thinking he will have another chance next year, is likely to miss its money value to hir: in his own farming op- crations, “Why miss it when it is in.your own front yard?” is the epitome of opinions expressed by members of Gov.

There are five men coming from overseas, travelling 12,000 miles to the Twin Cities and return to view this great exposition and see Amer- ica’s dairy industry on review so they can return home with fresh ideas and scientific information to start their works for the 1923 World’s Dairy Congress. “If it is worth while for these men to spend $800 each to attend the show, why is it not wise for any nortnwest farmer and (Continued on Page 6) PHILOMATIAN CLUB HOLDS VERY INSTRUCTIVE MEETING The Philomathian club met last evening at the home of Rev.

RESEMBLE THE |BLEBgflTfll$ £ AND THE oISON VARIETY 1 Is Prepared For Acfibn' Despite Peace Meeting: RE!CHSTAG FACES COLD AND HUNGRY WORKERS High Cost of Living and Other Problems May Mean End of Wirth Government (By Carl D. Groat) (United Press Staff Correspondent) Berlin, Oct., 3;—Germany’s etern~ al battle with fantastically mounting costs of living will occupy a generous portion of the time of the Reichstag fall session, starting today. Coupled with the cost of living problem will be spirited discussion pof the government’s foreign policy and consideration of the reparations ques- tion, These two problems have touched the daily life of every man, woman and child in the most vital spots—the pocketbook and the stomach. In the first place,a series of laws affecting the food supply of the na- tion are likely to be brought forth. The labor unions, long sceking to have a powerful voice in direction of the nation’s affairs, are not satisfed with measures already undertaken by the government to alleviate the lot of the poor. As a result, it is expected that the unionists will make their demands felt through the Reichstag, especially with the aid of the new United Social Democrat party of Germany—a com- bination of the old Social Democrats and Independent Socialists. More socialization is being sought. This applies particularly to the so- called key industries, such as coal miining. As the second great point of inter: est in the nation’s 'ife to-day stands the reparations problem. There is & gieat divergence of opinion as to the) Wirth governmental policy. Wirth has been the apostle of the so-called “Erfuellungspolitik” (fulfillment pol- icy), but has shown in the past few months that this is a “bankrupt pol- icy,” and even he has abandoned or modified the fulfillment idea. FIRE PREVENTION WEEK. IS A NATIONAL AFFAIR Efforts Being Made to Reduce Tremendous . Destruction Throughout America On Octeober 9, fifty-one years ago Mrs. O’Leary of Chicago carclessly left a lighted lantern in the barn. Her cow kicked it over, setting fire to the barn and starting a conflagra- tion which swept the city. » The Chicago fire of 1871 caused a greater logs than any mrevious fire in the history of the United States. It has only been supassed since by the San Francisco fire in 1906. Two hundered persons lost their lives in thv Chicago fire and 70,000 (about onc person in every five of the population, were rendered homeless: The flames raged over two thousand acres, destroying more than 17,000 buildings and entailing a property loss of approximately one- third of the city’s entire value, or about $190,000,000. The los in this great fire was ap- palling but our country suffers a greater fire loss every year at the present time. It is estimated that last year the lives of more than 15, 000 persons were lost and property valued at aproximately one-half bil- lion dolars was destroyed by fires, many of them preventable. To reduce this tremenduous annual destruction it was decided ieleven years ago to sct aside a day to be known as National Fire Prevention Day. October 9, the anniversary of the starting of cho Chicago conflagra- tion, seemed to be a suitable date, and. by proclamation of the President of the United States and many state governors, it has been observed for that purpose. One day is such 2 limited time to give to the subject that a period of geven days, ending October 9, ha: been recently set aside as Fire Pre- vention Week. Nation-wide attention is being given this year to the observation of the week. Governmental and state officials recognize the need and have lent their assistance to make the fire prevention movement successful. Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, at the request of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, are taking a leading part in conducting special activities designa- ted to acquaint every man, woman and ehiid with the necessity of sonal care (pOr the pfievcntmn of , fires.

(By United Press) Constantinople. Oct. 3—A power- ful British fleet. decks stripped for war, maneuvered at the Dardanelles today as the allies and Turks talked peace at Mudania. Representatives of Mustapha Kem- al and of the European powers met at 11 a. m,, it was undertsood, in a preliminary Near East peace confer: tence. They discussed armistice, to prevent a threatened clash between British and Turks over occupying of the neutral zone of the Dardanells. The Mudania conference will deal only with military questions, The political phases of the Near East problem are to be worked out by a permanent peace conference which will be held about the middle of the month, if an agreement is reached at Mudania. These are the representatives who meet to formulate the basis of peace in the Near East: Sir Charles Har- rington, British commander-in-chief; General Charpy of France; Ismet Pas- ha. of Turkey; General Montelli.of. Italy; and General Mazarakis and ol,..Harri, Giannis. gf.Groeac...Al— but the Greek représentatives hive arrived at Mudania. "It was feared the conference might be delayed some because of the failure to reach there at the appointed time. Tur- kish troops have been withdrawn from the neutral gone, pending today’s conference. Nine British first-line ‘battleships, their big guns pointed.to the north and their crews ready for action, tossed laz''y at anchor with steam up near the Mellespont. Ten light cruisers. = five flotilla leaders, forty-five destroyers, - six submarines, three aircraft canriers and three depot ships, with a number of auxiliary vessels. swarmed about the big gray man-of-war. The British were not the only warships steaming at the gates of the Sea. of ‘Marmora, however. Roumanid’s in+ terest in the straits was manifested with the appearance early today:of threec Roumainian destroyers. Otheérs. of the allies had destroyers nearby. (By United Press) Washington, Oct. 3—The United States government has apparently the sentiment of the American people regarding the Near East situation and will continue to express it by appro- priate action but will not be drawn into a Near East war. This is clearly defined by the posi- tion of this government as set forth by Secretary of State Hughes in.an exchange of cablegrapss. with Bighop.. Cannon, who, on reaching Paris from Constantinople, cabled the State Department urging tnat the United States use force if need be to. pre- vent the killing of Near East Christ- jans. Secretary Hughes’ reply to Bishop Cannon contained clear notice that this government will refuse to be embroiled in the European quarrel but will at the same time perform its humanitarian duty as always.
