Have Been Revised Causing Sew
eral Important

When the Brainerd and Bemidji
Athletic club basket ball teams meet
this evening it will be the first game
to be played in this city since the
rules have been revised. A few of the
changes which have caused interest
follow:
Center men must face their own
basket ~. a
Center men not allowed to catch
ball; must hit it with hands. rs.s
Ball out of bounds if man overruns
line and fails to withdraw foot i'm
nediately 1913
Player returning ball out of
bounds must be given a free throw.
Ball shall be held by the hands
only. If any other part of badly is
used it is foul. /
Supporters of the Bemidji team
will witness game this evening that
is being watched with interest by
all of the quints through out this
section of the state as the contestants
are considered two Of the strongest
fives that are working for the cham
pionship Of Northern Minnesota.
Brainerd will arrive here this even
ing at six o'clock prepared for the
hardest game they will enter this
season and will work hard to return
home victOrs.
With Newman, Bell, Brandon,
Howe, Peck, and Bestul in almost
perfect form the Bemidji supporters
are certain that the game will end
with the heaviest portion of the
score in the possession of these men.
Lack of practice can hardly be given
as an excuse if Bemidji should lose as
every available hour has been used
in basket shooting and team work.

will hold it's annual lodge of sor-
row in honor of the brothers who

event, set for the first Sunday in

cheer the living members, but to
keep green the memory of those who
have died. The endeavor of the or
der is we'll described in it's motto:
"The faults of our brothers we write
upon the sands, their virtues upon
the tables of love and memory"

SMOKER WAS SUCCESS
City Hall Crowded with Delegates and
Citizens of Bemidji When Affair
was Called to Order By Burke
MANY TALKS OF INTEREST

Last evenings smoker given in
honor of the visiting delegates by
the Bemidji Commercial club was one
of the most successful affairs of it's
kin ever before attempted in this city
The meeting was complete with good
feeling and enthusiasm and when T.
j. Burke, who presided, announced
that Senator James O'Neil of Cass
Lake would act as POSTMASTER the
fun began.
Perhaps no man in northern Min
nesota is as we'll known for his ready
wit and illustrations as the Cass
Lake man. The senator said that a
representative from each of the coun-
ties of the Association would be call
ed on for a five minute talk, not of
the "heavy stuff variety but more
from a standpoint of humor.
Among those who talked were the
following, Representative Dan O'Neill
Arnold of Duluth, McPartlin, Meyers,
Prof. Willard, J. D. Deets and A. J.
Mcclure.
Remfrey's orchestra furnished mu-
sic during the evening.
The success of the smoker is large
ly due to Mr.. Burke and H. c. Baer.

Success in Other States
Letters from officials in other
states on this subject were quoted
by Mr.. Scheers, all testifying to the
excellent results attending the en-
ployment Of convict labor on road
work. Continuing, Mr.. Scheers
said:
Fourteen states have passed laws,
authorizing the employment of con-
victs on public highways. President
Woodrow. Wilson, while governor of
New Jersey, is credited with the in
auguration of convict labor road
work along modern lines. In each
of the fourteen states mentioned, the

be the leading state in the Union.
No state has greater resources con-
sequently no state has greater OPP
portunities. The greatest draw
back is its roads, or lack of roads.
Every available prisoner in the penal
institutions Of the state could be pro-
itably employed on roads in the Sec
ton of land owned by the state
without being brought into come
tition with free labor. Goods roads
through these sections will enhance
their value twofold at least. The
prisoner will be offered a new field
of labor. He will have chance to
get back to nature and nature's God
irstead of returning to the scene

farm product or supply, and also the
promotion Of social welfare. Make
the name short. 1t is better to leave
out the word cooperative This term
is SO often misused and misunder-
stood that it may be positive

from the name any reference to any
previously organized association or

The Directors
''Third, Select as your first board
OF directors people who are we'll

Fourth. Capital stock should be
valued in terms of ten. The demand
system will be found extremely con-
venient in handling stock accounts
Of large number of members. Sound
organization and efficient manage
ment will correctly facilitate the sale
of stock. The sale of stock will be
just the same as the sale of any COM
modity-a matter of satisfying the
expected customer that the goods

Fifth. Limit the indebtedness to

Inspection Desirable
"Sixth. Inspection or examination

"Eigth. Make efficiency the con-
summate object of the cooperative
undertaking. Get a manager with as
much tact, zeal, and business sense
as your most successful local mer-
chant. To secure such a man you
must pay the price. Pay a fixed
salary and an additional bonus or
commission on the volume of profit
able business. Your manager must be
a man who can go after business and
not wait for business to go after
him. The one great reason for making
the market community affair deal
ing in every kind of farm product
and supply, is to furnish an oppor-
tunity for big manager to get bust
ness. The manager Of a cooperative
market ought to be of the same type
