Manager Fred Brinkman Secures
Local Talent to Furnish Music
at His Play House.
PROGRAM CHANGES TONIGHT
The Orchestra Number to Be an I'm
portant Feature in the Program
Each Day.

Manager Brinkman is more than
outdoing himself in the way of strik-
ing the popular chord of public senti-
ment by having engaged permanent
ly Mrs. Harry Masten and her orches-
ira. 1t is home talent, all of it, and
it might be said also that it surpasses
anything in the way of foreign
music that could be brought to Be-
midi. These musicians need no in
PRODUCTION to the citizens of Bemidji
as their reputation is too well known
to need additional comment.
The show tonight represents an
entire change of program and will
open with an overture by this or
chestra, playing the Goddess of
Liberty" 1t may be suggested right
here that theatre goers should come
early in order not to miss this first
number.
The moving pictures tonight will
be unusually good and of the same
high standard and character that has
been customary.
The musical Monroes are the next
number in which May Monroe, the
lady cornet soloist will perform the
difficult task of playing the cornet
and the piano at the same time.
Musicians as we'll as others will ap-
preciate her work. This requires
unusual skill as in playing the cornet
and piano at the same time she has
to play in two keys, feat that ap-
pears at first as we'll nigh impossible.
The Monroes are also banjo players
and coon song shouters. With
many a 'quib and joke to keep up
the interest Of the work.
Paddock & Paddock, a team of
high class novelty, singing and dane
ing artists appear next with an over
ture by the orchestra to wind up the
performance.

Returns From Canadian Trip.

D. c. Smith, clerk of the NUM-
cipal court, returned yesterday from
a ten days trip in Canada.
Mr.. Smyth expected when he
started east, that there was to be a
reunion of the Smyth family at St..
Thomas, Ont, but in order to &C
commodate few of the older rela-
tives, the meeting place was changed
and took place in the Walker House
at Toronto, January 4.
It was found that of the thirteen
boys and girls of the family, only
five are now living, and these five
were all 10 attendance. They were:
Mrs. ]. NJ. Carder, St. Thomas,
Canada; ]. E. Smytb, Victoria Har-
Dor, Canada; c. S. Smyth, Pembroke,

All Teachers Have Returned and Reg

s ! !. ~ 80 ~ 81 :
Work was resumed in the Bemidji
public schools this morning, and al
though the attendance was not up
to the average, it is thought by the
superintendent that this was because
Of the fact that many OF the students
have not yet returned from their
vacations.
This week will be taken up with
examinations, next week the report
cards will be issued for the third
time this school year
A number of new students en-
rolled this morning, but it is expect
ed that more will enter at the begin
ming of the second semester which
will start in two weeks.
Miss Grazing, instructor of ora
tory announced this morning that
she will begin at once to give Alfred
Neuman and Mona Flesher, the win
ners of the recent declamatory con-
test, special training IN preparation
for the inter-scholastic contest which
is to be held in Akeley some time in
April.
Literary work has also been re-
newed among the students and the

New 6. A. r. Officers Installed.

Saturday afternoon the ladies of
the G.. A. R. held a joint installation
with the R. H. Carr Post. The fol-
lowing officers were installed by past
president Phillippi:
Mrs. Catherine Bailey, president;
1nez French, senior vice president;
Hattie Hyatt, junior vice president;
Susie Bailey, treasurer; Minnie Car
ter, secretary; Susan Ellis, chaplain;
Wayne Danaher, con-; Sarah Dana
hue, assistant con-; louisa Parker,
guard Rose Bursley, assistant guard;
Ella Shearer, instructor and Mable
Crouch, organist. Mrs. Lucy Hagen
and Mrs. Minnie Carter were ap-
pointed delegates to the department
convention which is to be held in
St. Paul. Mrs. Georgia Walker and
Mrs. Wayne Danaher were appointed
as alternates. Mrs. H. w. Bailey
has served as president ever since
the organization of the post, II years
ago, and under her able leadership
the circle has been declared second
to none in the state. The circle
has done much relief work, particu-
larly among the old soldiers and
those dependent upon them.

holding primary election, at which
time any candidate aspiring for Office
may have his name submitted upon
the presentation signed by certain
number of legal voters The re-
quired number varies in different
cities. The candidates are then
balloted upon. The ten candidates
who have secured the highest number
of votes are then placed upon the
ballot for the regular election-five
of whom are chosen as supervisors,
or commissioners.
'In some places the man receiving
the highest number of votes is de-
clared to have been elected to the
mayoralty. In other places their
petitions are made direct to either
the mayoralty or the commission. In
still other places the commission that
is elected selects one of it's number
who shall be president and acting
mayor.
"In many cities each man must
designate in his petition just which
one of the five positions he aspires to.
For instance, if a man was a civil
engineer he would no aspire to the
financial department.; or if he was a
medical man he would not be expect
ed to have control of highways. 1t
is supposed that man will be elected
to the position for which he is best
fitted.
"Still another scheme is that the
supervisors themselves shall assign
one of their number to each depart
ment, subject to a change if a more
advisable assignment may be made.
This commission when organized,
has entire supervision of all the af-
fairs of the city, both legislative and
executive, subject to the referendum,
initiative and recall. 1t is provided
that no action of the commission of
any Importance shall go into effect
until 80 days after the final publica-
ton of said action. If, in the mean
time, an ordinance passed by the com
mission does not meet with the ap-
prevail of the public, then referen-
dunn vote is demanded, and until the
matter is decided by the vote Of the,
people, no furth er action is taken.
We will see that this amply protects
the public against anything in the
way of vicious legislation, the grant,
ing of franchises, or the favoring of
contractors

TR|-sIl1E LOSES CASE
Thief River Falls Wins in its Suit
Brought Against Telephone Co.

Thief River Falls has won it's suit
against the Tri-State Telephone
company. A decision was rendered
by the federal court, in session in
Minneapolis last week. The con-
test was started to determine the
validity of a franchise held by the
company. The company bought the
franchise from one H. FAINT several
years ago. The court keld that the
franchise had not been legally grant
ed to FAINT, and that consequently
the company does not have a legal
right to continue business in the city

G. O. Carlson, Erskine Man, Says that
Business is Gaining Foot Hold
Among Farmers.
COMMENT ON SCHROEDER FARM
Says That Cows on His Farm Payed
Him Eighty-fve Dollars A Head
Last Year.

c. o. Carlson, the Erskine dairy
man, spent yesterday in Bemidji,
and while here gave out a few state
ments in regard to dairying in nor
thern Minnesota. Mr.. Carlson is
one of the proprietors of Carlson
Brothers big dairy farm at Erskins,
and is much interested in the future
welfare of the dairy business. He
is at present devoting his spare time
to the Farmers Institutes which are
being held throughout the northern
counties of Minnesota
Mr.. Carlson talks dairying from a
business standpoint and those who
heard his talk at the December meet
ing of the Farmers Institute here in
Bemidji will remember his plea for
good business management in farm
ing operations.
Mr.. Carlson does not believe that
fancy high priced cattle are the ones
that can be made to produces the larg-
er amounts of milk, but says that he
has nothing but common cattle in
his herd, and that they have aver
aged 5000 pounds of milk per COW,
a year for the past several years.
The milk is all seperated and the
cream delivered to creamery, and
the amounts received for butter tat
during the year just past averaged
$685. per COW.
When questioned as to the devel-
opment of the dairy industry in this
part of the country. Mr.. Carlson
said:
This country is right on the point
of great step forward in making it
one of the best dairying districts in
Minnesota, and it is interesting to
note the great interest some of the
business men are taking in securing
better farming, not only in urging
the matter among the farmers them
selves, but by going right into the
business, thereby demonstrating the
great possibilities
Mr.. Carlson says that during the
few weeks that he has been travel
ing through this part Of the country
he has met with many interesting
experiences in the line of starting
and running dairy farms, in regard
to this he said:
"And right here a few miles west
of Bemidji we have Mr.. Schroeder's
dairy farm, and that farm is one of
the best managed farms l have ever
visited. He has some very nice
COWS on his place, but none of them
are high priced, and a glance at the
milk sheets will show that it was a
paying business right from the start.
Now, if every farmer would use the
same good business judgement in the
dairy business they could not help
but meet with success"
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1911-01-09

eggs per week,-thirty dozen to the
crate. They are purchased. A
hennery at the institution would not
only be economical, but a guarantee
always of the freshness of the eggs.
"Forty-five gallons of milk are con-
sumed daily. This is furnished
from Jersey herd belonging to DR..
Camp of Brainerd and is very salts
factory in quality. A herd, how
ever, at the institution, would be a
good investment for both state and
patients.
Recommendations which DR.. Mar
clay makes and which this board feels
should be granted, include:
"A seperate building from the pa
tients for residence of institution
workers, and cottages for officers and
their families.
'Clearing of sufficient land for a
vegetable garden and a pasture.
"A new domestic building to in
clude kitchen, dining room, laundry
and store rooms The basement
laundry is too small by half.
"a central heating Plant for all
buildings.
"A boat house, with a gasoline
launch and row boats.
"A suitable appropriation for live
stock.
AN emergency water pump. A
breakdown or shutdown for repairs
of the present pump necessitates
hauling water from the lake for do
nestle purposes. An additional
pump would also afford needed ad-
ditional fire protection which is much
needed in event of forest fire.
DIR. Marclay estimates that these
improvements will cost $4,000 and
that 100000 is needed for the next
two years maintenance
During the past biennial period,
971 individuals have applied for ad-
mission to the institution Of these
$50 were examined, APO accepted,
1877 not accepted, and 1872 cases de-
ferred. The erection of six cottages
has increased the institution capacity
from 60 to 10. Two of these are
occupied by employees, leaving a ca
pacity of 80 for patients.
