Madison Refuses to Comment.
Mr.. Madison did not care to add
anything to the above legal notice.
The store is still doing business in
the old Northern National bank
building on Third street
The store has been conducted as
an up-todate gentleman's furnishing
place and standard clothes have been
carried, the store being one of the
most modern in this part of the
state.
Some time ago the firm name was
changed from Madison & Odegard to
the NJ O. Madison company.
Began to Feel Pressure.
While the business of the institu-
ton has been good, it appears that
there was not room for another
clothing store in Bemidji.
I Some time ago the company be-
gan to feel the pressure which in
creased until the present move was
decided upon.
| With the appointment of a receiver
it is presumed that the stock will be
closed out at a receivers sale.
| The firms assets is placed at $43,-
1920 and the liabilities $48,616.49
A number of St. Paul and Minneapo-
| lis manufacturers are named as cred
itors.

III an announcement as TO the I'M
portance of the coming Beltrami
county fair to be held here Septem-
Der 13, IA and Is, A. P. Richie, secre-
tary of the Agricultural association,
shows that $72 in prizes are offered
for potatoes alone and enlarges upon
the supreme Importance of estab-
fishing a potato market here, and
gives other suggestions regarding
the fair and agricultural, dairying
and vegetable raising
Secretary Riches announcement
reads as follows:
Cites Progress Being Made.
"Some years ago when this asso-
citation was organized, farming con-
dltlons were in very primitive
stage. There was little or no uni
formity in the crops grown. No
attention was paid to the best var
iety and marketable quality of our
products.
Potatoes, for instance, were
grown in a great many varieties, in
fact, so many that a market was im-
possible. The association has grad
ua1ly discouraged the growing of
many varieties.
Now Only Four Varieties.
This year but four varieties are
| recognized, viz: Early Ohio, Tri-
umph, Burbank and Carmen. Eight
prizes are offered for each; first, 81;
second, $3.50; third, SO; fourth,
$3.50; fifth, So; sixth, $3.50; sew
enth, $3.50; and eighth, $50; max
ing total of $72 in prizes for po-
.tatoes. Other staple vegetables are
likewise encouraged.
There is no doubt that this Sec
ton is destined to become a great
potato country, if not the greatest in
the entire country. What we want
now is market, and this is some
thing for the farmers and business
men to establish at once. There is
no reason why this cannot be done.
Must Bemidji Box to Elk River?
This year we had the greatest
| potato crop ever raised in northern
Minnesota. Why can the little vii.
lage of Elk River market $1,000
bushels up to this time and the farm
ers in that vicinity receive $55,44C
therefore, and not one bushel be
shipped out of Bemidji? Let us dc
something!
"The County Agricultural Associa-
ton has also greatly inspired the
dairy business. Can anyone say that
the dairy animals exhibited last yeal
were not, in every way, far superior
to those exhibited in former years?
Cattle Prizes are Liberal.
"We predict that this year viii,
again show marked improvement
The Association has always been lib.
eral in promoting this industry, anG
this year still greater inducements
have been made by extending the
premiums to three dairy breeds, viz
Holsteins, Guernseys, and Jerseys
and any other kind. Five premium:
are offered for COWS of aach hraod a,
well as any other breed not men
/ toned. The prizes are: first, $40;
second, So; third, 81; fourth, So
fifth, 81.
