At St. Paul in December, between the 12th and 23rd, there will be a great display of the natura] products of seven of the richest states in the union, at the fore-front of which should stand Minnesota, and the northern section of Minnesota should crown the galaxy of rich resources there exhibited. The seven states included in the project are Oregon, | Washington, Idaho, Montana, the two Dakotas and Minnesota. now is the time to begin preparations and no effort should be spared to show that the north star state is eater than its compeers in natura] develop- resources, * productiveness, ment and in all the ramifications of | industry.

Each of the seven states will have a space of fifty feet lomg and ten feet wide for their official exhibit. The governor has been asked to confer with officers of the league in this state and secure the interest of those necessary to put in an exhibit which will be a credit to the state. Under this plan no one community or city will have an advantage over others in the state. Any city, coun- ty or land company desiring to make an independent exhibit will be able to secure a limited amount of space near the state exhibit on reasonable terms, but it is the desire of the league officers for this state that the best possible exhibit be made in the name of the state as it is from such an exhibit that results are to |be obtained. The seven states which are to be thus represented are Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montama, North and ;South Dakota and Minnesota. No other states will have exhibits and Canadian exhibits will be barred, the whole idea of the show being “an ex- position by the seven states for the benefit of the seven states alone.” Minnesota officers of the league jare J. H. Dight of Duluth and Chas. Patterson of St. Paul. Inquiries about the state exhibit should be addressed | to George S. Welsh, immigration ;commissioner, St. Paul. Information about concession space may be se- cured from Will A. Campbell, of St. Paul.

CATHOLIC CHURCH BELL CHRISTENED Ceremony Witnessed By a Large Number of People Sunday Af- ternoon. WEIGHS NEARLY 3,000 POUNDS Christened “St. Peter” and Will Be Put In Place Ina Few Days —Has Diameter of 56 Inches. With appropriate ceremonies the new bell for St. Joseph’s Catholic church, which is now in process of construction, was christened Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. John Mooney acting as God- parents, and the bell was christened “St. Peter.” The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of people from outside as well as from Grand Rapids and the ceremonies, Rev. Father Buech‘er delivered a brief address, giving the history of bells and the different functions that the new bell will take part in from time to time. He stated he hoped the bells would ring often, announcing the marriage of members of the parish and added the fervent wish that the doleful tones of the bell announcing the in jdeath of some member of the parish be but rarely heard. During the ceremonies the choir rendered several selections, while Madame Daix-Despret also delighted the crowd with a vocal selection. The bell is an immense affair, weighing nearly 3,000 pounds and having a diameter of fifty-six-inches across its face and will be installed in thie tower in a few days. At the close of the ceremony the people were imvited to ring the bell, Father Beuchler remarking iit would be their only chance to do so, and it was kept ringing constantly for some time. WAS ARRESTED ON OLD GAME CHARGE Game Warren Harry Arrested Man Who Killed Moose on July 31, 1910. That Game Warden Jess Harry is an efficient officer there is no doubt, as many can testify to their sorrow, but it remained for a Lin- coln, Nebraska, man to leearn that a man cannot shoot moose out of sea , although the crime was commit- year ago, and successfully get away with it. It seems that one Harry Harley, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was up in the north country during July of last yea and seeing a nice male antlered moose, could not resist the tempta- tion of taking a shot at it. He did so, but left town rather hurriedly shortly after, having learned the me warden had wind of the af- fair. Harley returned to the old stamping ground this year, as usual, thinking the killing had been forgotten, but Mr. Harry has a good memory for offenders of the law and learning of his whereabouts, got out a warrant’ |for his arrest Monday afternoon. In the meantime Harley got suspicious and drove to Bovey in an auto. Harr was not far behind and meeting the machine on \the return trip requis’- tioned it ani followed in. Harley was posseessed with the “wander- lust” that evening and decided to push on to Narble. Harry says: “I'll stand pat,” and still followed. When Mr. | Harry entered the hotel at Marble where he learn- ed Harley had stopped, he heard a suspicious noise in the writing room and a closer investiga- tion showed Harley behind a desk. The rest of the story is briefly told. Harley was brought to Grand Rapids and Tuesday morning plead- ed guilty before Judge Huson and was fined $50 and costs, making a total of $61.62. Verily, the way. of ; the transgressor is hard. BOARD OF REGENTS WoT STATE FARM Accompanied By President Vincent, | Dean Woods and Other Uni- | versity Men.
