The gridiron classic of the season as far as the Bemidji high school .is concerned, will be featured on the fair grounds’athletic field tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p. m. sharp. Great gobs of gloom hovered over the high school = campus today as students discussed the loss of Francis Rhea, Bemidji's speedy end and triple threat. Rhea broke the sec- ond finger of his left hand in prac- tice Wednesday afternoon. It was first thought that the injury would not._prove setrious enough to keeq the Bemidji star out of the battle, but an x-ray examination last night revealed a fracture, and consequent- ly the navy blue and white eleven will be forced to meet the strong Hibbing high school team in a weakened condition. That the game tomorrow afternoon with the range eleven will be a hard fought contest js a foregome conclusion. Coach Vance of the ore diggers will start s strongest combination and is de- termined to return to ‘the richest village in the world” with a victory. It will be the first time the two schools have ever met on the chalk- lined field or in any obher wthletic (Continued on Page 8) HOLD MEETING TONIGHT TO TALK CANCER- WEEK All Interested Persons Are Urged to Attend Meeting To Plan Prevention All doctors, dentists, educators, presidents of all local clubs, life in- ,-surance agents, and all other inter- ested persons are urged to attend a meeting to be held this evening at 8 o’clock in the rooms of the Civic and Commerce “association to make plans for the observance of National Cancer Week, November 12 to 18. It is especially important that there be a large attendance and all interested persons will be welcomed. Cancer caused death in more adults than any other disease, the death rate from this disease in the ¢ past two years in the state.of Minnesota sur- passing that from tuberculosis. In Minnesota 2,193 people died from cancer in 1921. As yet, the cause of this malady is unknown. In an'effort to combat its increasing death rate the Amer- ican Society for the Control of Can- cer is conducting an extensive edu- cational ‘campaign, that the early signs and symptoms of cancer may be familiar to all. Cancer always begins with a small local growth, and is usually painless in the beginning. It can often be removed by competent surgical treat- ment, or in certain external forms, by the use of radium, X-ray and other methods. If the early warning signs are not leeded, the disease progresses and with extension to other parts is in- curable. Competent medical advice should be sought on the appearance of any of the warning signs- There is no sure cure for all cancers in any stage. i i i B Loss of Veteran End For Saturday’s Game [u'mm SHIPPING | ASSOCIATION FORMED A ivestock shipping association [for Benidji and the surounding ter- ritory was organized Wednesday with H. L. Arnold of Northern as tem- porary manager.

T0 Of;)NSlDER FORMING DAIRY COUNCIL HERE Guernsey Club is Interested InMecting to be Held Wednesday, Nov. 15 On Dec. 10,7 1921 a small group of men met in Bemidji and organ- ized the Beltrami County Guernsey Breedens association. While many of these men were principally inter- ested in' Guernseys, their larger hopes were fqr better dairy cattle of any breed for this locality. ; The purpoSe of this organization, as showin by the constitution, is as follows: “to promote the breeding and improvement of high grade and pure-bred Guernsey cattle in Bel- irami county, and to aid its members in buying, breeding and selling first- class animals, also the establishment of a geod reputation for Beltrami county :as a Guernsey center, and sociations in promoting general in- Itelligen¢e regarding: the value of better bred, better fed, and disease free livestock.” ! At ths second annual meeting held November 1, 1922, the membership had grown to thirty-five. All mem- bers are requested to send $1 to the secretary, B. M. Gile, Bemidji, to pay the dues for the current year as the association will make good use of the money- It is realized that in union there is strength and much strength is needed to solve the livestock prob- lem for Beltram and northern Hub- bard county. The association be- lieves that'a program covering at least fives years effort to put the dairy industry on’ a_ sanitary &nd paying basis should be undertaken at this time.. Accordingly, a meet: ing of the Agricultural Committee of the Commercial club and all inter- ested in' forming a dairy council will be held following the noon-day meet- ing of the Civic and Commerce as- sociatiop. All interested are urged to be present. BIG FOOTBALL CONTESTS ON SATURDAY SCHEDULE By Henry L.

P.).—The new congress will over-ride the President’s veto of the Soldier Bonus Bill, thus insuring its passage, it was revealed today by a comprehensive tabulation in the sen- ate following the election Tuesday- A careful poll of the senate which will convene next March 4th, based on both the old senators in the pres- ent congress and the pledges made by new members during the cam- paign, show that 67 senators are in favor of adjusted compensation, 27 are against it and the position of 2 is unknown. . A total of 67 votes for the bonus is three more than two-thirds of the senate, the number required to over- ride the veto. The house, which over-rode Pres- ident Harding’s veto of the measure last September shortly before the senate blockaded the sustaining the executive’s objection, i3 still overwhelming in favor of the ~$ze months of; measure by SHIPSTEAD APT- TO ALIGN WITH THE DEMOCRATS Frazier ' and Slaips!elt.l are Admittédly Strongest in League Today MUCH THE SAME TYPE AS SENATOR E. F. LADD Are Expected to Work for Legislation Affecting Farm ‘and Labor ' (\By United Press) (By D. D. Meredith) St. Paul, Nov. 10—Finding seats for the northwest contingent to con- gress will not be difficult. There are pretty apt to align themselves with the democrats. Lynn J. Frazier and Dr. Henrik Shipstead, elected to the senate from North Dakota and Minn- esota, are admittedly the strongest men in the Nonpartisan league today but neither is radical. They are very much the same type of Nonpartisans as Senator E. F. Ladd of Fargo, elected two years ago. They are all former represent- atives. Frazier is the only dirt farm- er of the trio. Senator Ladd, up to the time of his election, was an ag- riculturist at the North Dakota Farm school at Fargo. Dr. Shipstead, a dentist, was elected to the Minnesota legislature from Glenwood, and served two terms. The only confessed radical of the Nonpartisan line-up is Knute Wefald. He succeeds Halvor Steenerson, to congress~from- the +Seventh-‘district. Wefald is an out-and-out Socialist and proud of it. His election was a much bigger surprise in Minnesota than the defeat of Frank B. Kellogg by Dr. Shipstead. The Nonpartisan League program kas never included a congressional seat as the Nonpartisan leaders al- ways held their program should be carried out through state legislation and not through congress. Neither Nonpartisan senators nor congress- men are expected to carry their pro- gram to the floor of thé house or senate, but they will work for farm and labor legislation. DANGER! PICRIC ACID TO BE USED WITH CARE Land Clearing Manager Edson ‘Washburn cautions users of picric acid. Although picric is a very good good explosive, cheap and good to use, it has one danger whien all ought to know, he declares. Picric acid should never be used in any place of confinement, cellars wells, pits, or in any place where heavy gasses may collect. When exploded picric acid gives off about 70 per cent carbon monoxide gas, which is about four times as much as the average human being can stand. L EF FROM CONSTANTINOPLE (By United Press) (By Lloyd Allen) London, Nov. 10—London was cut off from communication with Con- stantinople today. Rumors of ser- ious trouble in the Near East ran unchecked today, with the foreign coffice lacking official advices, power- less to deny them. The cabinet was called together at 10:00 to consider the situation. What the Turks are driving at in their arrogant assumption of auth- ority over the allies of the Straits, has atsleast been made clear. The Angora government’ démands nulifi- cation of capitulation arising from the fate of the Turkish army in the great war. It considers the victory over Greece has wiped out all losses sustained by, the Sultan’s govern- ment. ‘“We are autonomous nation,” Ferid Bey, nationa 1 representative at Paris, declared in a statement. “We do not recognize any penalties incurred by the Sultan’s ment. LEGION COMMANDER HAS ARMISTICE DAY MESSAGE Commander Cwsley Declares Day Should Be Observed In No Uncertain Way (American Legion News Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 10—De- parting for Lincoln, Neb., where to- morrow he will dedicate the new' cap- ional comander of the American Le- Day message: “Amistice Day is observed as the enniversary of the ending of the World War. But more and greater than that—it is the day of the begin- ning, of peace, and therefore it is]| to be celebrated in no uncertain fashion as a day of hope and high ambition. We have Memorial Day for the hero dead, for a backward thought of the greatness of the days gone by. Let Armistice Day be a day for the living, for looking for- ward upon high adventures and achievements yet to come. “In this America of ours, espec- ially, the Day of the Beginning of Peace is a day of exaltation of the spirit; for we are a nation of build- ers and the works of peace are the glory of a free people. With the coming ,of peace.there is an end of destruction and tearing down. And with the coming of a just peace the march of mankind is taken up again, mankind going forward step by step to higher resolve. Let us then be glad and proud in this resolve, that every observance of the Armistice shall serve as a milestone along the upward road of peaceful progress. “Yet on this fateful cleventh day of ‘the eleventh month it should be well, that on the stroke of the elev- enth hour one solemn moment be set aside for prayer -~ and a silent giving of thanks. T have the honor of speaking for a great organization of American citizens. whose faith in America has been proved through hard endurances; men who have come through struggle in war to 2 clear conception of the spiritual glory to the service of America. In the spirit of these men let us say: ‘Honor to our immortal dead—that the great white company of shining souls who gave their youth that the world might grow old in peace, Amen.’ ” JUNIOR STOCK SHOW IS - T0 BE HELD NEXT WEEK (By United Press) .
