S. Mitchell returned to Bemidji Monday from his Western trip, he having been one of the 845 in the United States to qualify as a member ofi the New York :Life Insurance company’s $200,000 club, thereby being entitled to the trip, ‘extended the members of the club to the Banff convention. Mr. Mitchell was one of the 16 to qualify in the State of Minnesota. Many special trains made the trip sbout a month ago, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell leaving St. Paul via the Canadian Pacific route, filled with club membpers; the train being made up at Chicago and containing many ‘members from farther south. The main feature of the trip was the conyention of the club members held at Banff but many other places of interest were visited and .the wonderful scenery of the Canadian Rockies viewed. At one of these, Lake Louisa, is situated one of the fimest and best ‘equipped ;summer resorts in the world.

Seattle, Vancouver, Portland and many other places of interest were included in the trip. Mr. Mitchell Property Valued ut‘More Than $250,000,000 Already Lost During Current Year The national debt of the United States is now expressed in eleven figures The amount of money rep- resented by its huge total of $23, 000,000,000 is beyond the bonds of human comprehension. If, however, we had started forty years ago to invest at six per cent compound in- terest a sum of money equivalent to its respective fire loss, we would now have a fund sufficient to wipe out our whole national -debt. The. amount placed to the credit of this fund has increased each year at a rate altogether out of propor- tion to the increase in number of zens. In 1921 the fire loss was six’ times as great as in 1881, al- though the population was only twice as great as that of the earlier year.

Oct. 4—Skeletons of animals which roamed the North American continent in the Miocene age, more than 2,000,000 years ago, have been discovered by an Amherst college expdidition which recently re- turned from Sout' Dakota and Wyo- ming. The collecion includes many rare specimen. Two of skeletons have yet to be identified, and Professor Frederic B, Loomis, who headed the expidition, feels certamn that they aresthe first of thier type to be dis- covered. The trip, which was made by auto- mobile, was financed by the class of 1896. Two months werc spent on the expedition, one half in explora- tion. . One of the specimens of the expedi- tion was anxious to obtain was that of he Poevrotherium, an ancestor of the camel, to complete a series mow in the Amherst collection. An ex- cellent specimen was found in the Black Hills in Wyoming. 5 The devotion to duty of a sheriff in a town near Mitchell, Nebraska, resulted in the expedition losing a fine skeleton of a camel. After working all day in excavating the skeleton and bandaging it for ship- ment, members of the party retired for the night. In the morning the skeleton was found destroyed. An explanation was forthcoming from the surprised sheriff that he was informed a party of “bootleggers,” supposedly frequenters of that particular region had discovered a new method of hid- (Continued on Page 6) “CARDIGAN” T0 BE RUN “Cardigan” the drdnmatie story of a youth arid a maid drawn by chance into the dramatic struggle for Amer- of the Ralph Gracie post of the Amer- ica Legion, the met proceeds to be placed in a fund to make possible sidered from an individual and com- |the Minnesota Memorial hospital of In 1921 the per|[the American Legion.

Fair today and probably tomorrow is the official foreeast. It was mad- erately: cool this morning with the temperature expected to creep up to 80 by mid-afternoon. Moderate north and northeast breezes made the day a perfect one for the Yankees, Giants and some 30,000 fans. Almost to a man, the old-time ball players and minor league mana- gers figure that McGraw will ba able to out-smart the American Leaguers and jockey his rather fragile pitching staff through to victory. The Giants supporters predict that Joc Bush with his fast ball and curve will be just to the liking of McGraw’s heavy hitters and that Bob Sharkey does not stand any more chance than he did last year.
