BEMIDJI, MINN., \ILY PIONEER SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 14, 1922 =~ STOCK MARKET | DISCUSSED BY ROGER BABSON By Babson for Bad Break in Stock Market WHATEVER THE RESULT NOT TO HURT BUSINESS Fact that Business is Below Normal Saved Situation, Statistician Says Wellesley ‘Hills, Mass., Oct. 14— Readers should not be surprised ac- cording to Roger W. Babson, because of the recent action of the stock mar- ket. When interviewed in Wellesly Hills regarding the matter, Mr. Bab- son today said the seriousness of the European situation is:greater than most people realize. “It is really surprising- that the stock market held: up:so .well in the past :two -weeks. Of course the break was due to the gravity of the Turkish-situation which was under- stood only by the big bankers in New York. The reai facts are that France is today in quite a similar po- sition as that held by Germany.in 1914. i f “The real seriousness of the danger has somewhat ~been - hidden.- ‘The change has come swiftly. = A few weeks ago England was in the saddle. She did the taiking and France did the worrying. England is now in a hble. France deliberately put her there. “England alone of all tions has stood for law and order. She alone has stood for the pay- ments of debts, and the fulfillment of obligations. Germany and Austria are bankrupt. Chaos reigns in Rus- sia, Italy is on the verge of bank- ruptcy- France is compromising- told us that she wil pay her debts with interest. “England’s policy with Germany has been in opposition to that of France. Englénd has wanted to get for France as much out of Germany as posible without killing the goose that laid the golden eggs- France was for killing the goose, but still for demanding the eggs- England was Europe’s big brother and upon her the financial world has relied. “Today England is faced with fight- ing Europe because she stands prac- tically alone. The new government of Greece is not with her. Germany alone, in case of ‘war; is her only pos-: sible ally. -The Germany :of today is not on friendly terms. with the Turkey of today.. Should, however, Germany go, in with Englnnd,, there: would have to be an, entirely new: in= terpretation placed’ on many Euro- pean relationships and-the problems of those relationships. - There is: the matter of reparations for instance. All international finances would .be upset- bt B “Yes, England stands practically. alone. Italy will ‘back Turkey: Rus- sia will back Turkey: ‘'And, of course, France will back Turkey. ‘Hence it must be kept clear that the real issue, is not between Great Britain' and Turkey, but between Great Britain and France. France has been'back- ing Turkey. England has: been backing Greece. Turkey and Greece however, have been but pawns:on.a chessboard. “When tine iast war was on, Rus- sia was promised Constantinople. Russia withdrew. Then, it was de- cided to keep Constantinople free, out of the power of either France on England. England slowly got a bit of the upper hand. This hurt the pride of France, who patiently (Continued on Page 6) FARM BUREAU OFFICE ENCOURAGES EXCHANGE Fred S. Clark of Warren is e;r.pec- ted to arive in Bemidji son with a carload of fine pufe-bred Duroc Jer- sey sows which he has exchanged for cord wood, fénce posts and pota- toes. The exchange was made through the 12nd clearing department of the Farm Bureau office under the direction of Assistant County Agent Edson Washburn. Mr. Clark attended the Northern Minnesota fair this fall and exhibi- ted a fine string of Hereford cattle and Duroc Jersey hogs. He has been very active in pig club work and in developing the hog industry in this section of the state. The farm bureau is in a position to exchange various kinds of wood for flour, and feed, and it is suggest- ed that those who have articles which they desire to dispose of in this man- ner communicate with the farm bu- reau office at once. The method of barter is sure to prove popular in this section this fall and winter, ac- cording to present indications.

W. Campbeil, president, presided and after the reading of the minutes, the program opened with an entertaining group ot folk danz- es by the fourth and fifth grades un der the direction of Miss Mary Dep- uty.. This was followed by an interest- ing talk on *“Thrift” by W. L. Brooks and an open discussion. It was de- cided to follow the plan started last year, the children bringing their sav- ings each week, the parents designat- ing on an envelope the bank which they prefer having the savings de- posited in, and these being placed to the credit of the child. Miss Telulah Robinson reported on the milk which was decided at the last meeting as necessary for about 15 undernourished children in attend- ance at the school, and it is being looked after by the committee. - It was also brought before the meeting that a number of the boys in attendance at the. college school were planning‘to join; the beginner’s band and arrangements will be made when Mr. Deputy ad Mr. Riggs re- turn, So that they can be excused for the Saturday rehearsals. It was found also that a number of the children .were being: deprived of the benefjcial exercises ir the gymnasium because of the lack of proper shoes, something- in“ the line of tennis or a soft shoe being re- quired that will not injure the floor for other athletics, and arrangements will be made to provide those child- ren who cannot purchase them for themselves. * of refreshménts followed.

(By United Press) (By Jackson V. Scholz) New York, Oct. 14—Billy’ Miske today claims the official distinction of being a better man than Tommy Gib- bons—but it doesn’t mean anything. The bout scheduled for 156 rounds ended in the tenth ~ when Miske crumpled to the mat-and claimed a foul which after a moments hesitar tion, was sustained by the referee. Billy McPartland. The blow -that ended things was seen by few, a cir- cumstance which naturally gave rise to a lot of audible remarks from the crowd in Madison Squareé. Gibbons seemed as much surprised as anyone at the sudden end and wandered around in a daze until officially dis- qualified. 5 Although Gibbons conceded 11 pounds to Miske together with a marked advantage in reach, he made the latter look like a husky lumber jack engaged in the pastime of pick- ing mosquitoes out of the air. Gibbons uncorked a shifty, vicious attack in the first few rounds and found a landing place for almost ev- ery blow, while Miske, trying des- perately to locate his opponent, wast- ed tons of energy in ‘wild swings that would have floored an ox. Miske tried several times to make use of his advantage in reach and hold himself out of harm’s way by placing glove play on the top of Gibbon‘s skull but the latter’s fail- ure to co-operate usually resulted in left jolts to the head that drove all} such thoughts of strategy out of Miske’s mind. g Only his ability to take punish- ment saved Miske {'om becoming a victim of the Gibbons offensive in the early rounds- Miske’s sole thought seemed to be a desire to land one of his hay-mak- ers and have it over with. This was the factor which made the bout all the more interesting, because there was always a chance that, although out-fought and out-boxed, Miske (Continued on Page 6) A social hour and the serving|® .

Adams, chair- man of the Republican National Com- mittee, declared today in sizing up for the United Press, the political situation from a G. O. P. standpoint. In fact, Adams said the election had already been won because of return- ing prosperity. “Without number,” said Adams, “there is no doubt the only question remaining is the size of Republican majority in the senate and house. From all indications, there will be a majority of normal republican years Rem:nded that everybody expected him to say something like that, and that there was nothing new or start- ling in such a pre-election prediction Adams replied, “This campaign is not marked by starting developments, it is a campaign of reason and:not emotion.” He says the people Tre- fuse to be swayed by catch phrases. Asked to outline the basis for his great confidence, Adams said, “Bus- iness conditions are getting better every day. They have been steadily improving for months. These con- ditions reflect what is taking place in individual centers and in’agrcultural sectoits. “Industries are increasing thei out put,.many of them working at the limit of ‘ther capacity. Labor is in great demand at good wages. «Agriculture is in far better shape than it was a year ago. The credit situation is good. Production costs are lower and prices for farm pro- ducts higher.” PARTRIDGE SEASON TO OPEN SUNDAY MORNING With the opening of the 1922 par- tridge season, Sunday October 15th, maps showing the game preserves of this section, published by the Pioneer through the courtey of a number of ‘Bemidji ‘business houdes, have been eagerly accepted by prospect: ive hunters, especially those con- templating a hunting trip for the first time. Most of the old hunters are familiar with the limits in which they are allowed to hunt but the no- vice is Dot so sure unless provided with just snuch a map. There are still a few of these maps available at the Pioneer office and will be given out gratis to hunters who wish to make use of them. Sev- eral of the downtown stores still have a limited supply of these maps to be given out free of charge. All indications point to a very plentiful supply of partridges this year, last season being closed en- irely and it is expected that the npumber of hunters will far exceed the number which have already made use of their small game licenses by hunting ducks.

OSCAR KELLER Governor Asks Republican State Central Committee To Withdraw Support WILL MAKE CAMPAIGN IN OPPOSING KELLER Renounces His Congressman on Recent Attack ' fon Attorney General (By United Press) f St. Paul , Oct. 14—Governor Preus today asked the Republican State Central committee to withdraw its support from Oscar Keller, con- gressman from St. Paul, and to op- pose his re-election. The governor, in a letter to Charles R. Adams, his private secretary, and chairman of the State Central Com- mittee, renounced Keller for his re- cent attack on Attorney General Daugherty. Governor Preus instrue- tgd the State Republican organiza- tion to withdraw its support from Keller and from the organizations supporting Keller, to leave his pic- ture out of republican letters to be printed and to take no active part in supporting the campaign of Kel- ler. The action was interpreted by some as a move to aid the campaign of Paul! Doty, democrat. The gov- ernor indicated he will make an ac- tive campaign in opposing Mr. Keller. In a letter to Charles R. Adams the governor said: “A few days ago I discovered Mr. Keller’s name on a poster circulated by the Republican State Central Committee. I am opposed to Mr. Keller’s return to congress just ex- ?ctly as | am opposed to the elect: ion of former Governor Frazier to U. S, Senate. 1 am openly and avowedly opposing. .Q!Genpor . in - North Dakota and I Have done the same and will continue to do so as far as Oscar Keller*is concerned ed in St. Paul. “Two years ago Mr. Keller had the: support and endorsement of the Non-Partisan League and Farmer- Labor party. He undoubtedly has the same now. “Furthermore, his disgraceful ac. tion in instigating impeachment pro- cecedings against Attorney General Daugherty at the instigation of .the lawless output which wants to pre- vent the Attorney General of the United States from doing his duty as a public official, i3 such that I can- not support him (Keller.) “I shall take this occasion, during the campaign, to speak this publicly and for these reasons there will be no poster exhibited hereafter by the Republican State, County or City or- ganizations with Keller's picture and I am going to ask you not to give youd support to any organization which has given its suport to Keller.” About 25,000 of the posters re- ferred to have been broadcasted throughout the state. It is not known whether they will be recalled or whether steps will be taken to re- move the pictures of Mr. Keller. | MOOSE LODGE WILL TALK RADIO TUESDAY EVENING Indications are that there will be extended and interesting discussions on the contemplated radio receiving set at the regular meeting of the Moose to be held in the Moose hall next Tucsday evening.
