A BIG ENROLMENT

About eighty-fve students, who are
entering the high school for the first
time this fall enrolled with Principal
Ptckell this morning. Each student
was allowed to choose the subjects he
wanted to take, with the advice of
Prof. Pickell in each case, and his
schedule of classes made out. This
system, the officials say. will do away
with much of the confusion and dis
order incident to the opening day of
school. Today being a holiday, many
students were away from home and
could not meet Prof. Pickell, SO he has
arranged to consult with them again
tomorrow morning.
Indications are that the enrolment
in the freshmen class will be about
1875.

Don't Change Lids By
September Seventh.

'I'll arrest any man who wears
straw hat after September t. said
Chief of Police Gormon this morning.
"If any one commits this offense, he
will have to appear before me and ex-
plain why he hasn't purchased a new
fall hat"
The hour has struck The passing
bell marking the decline of empires
and the eclipse of nations has tolled
the requiem OF the summer headgear
of all mankind. This all happened to-
day.
The winsome panama, with it's in
dividual lines, the high crowned sail
or with the pert little bow behind, and
the fresh, new lid purchased two
weeks ago at So cents, stand at last
on a common level, for all caste dis
tinctions fade in a time like this and
one straw hat is just as good as an
other.
Today is September /, the date up
on which the haberdashers issue their
annual edict, calling upon the rest of
the world to chuck the straw hat into
the garbage can and call around to
inspect the new fall styles.

PLAY PROVES SUCCESS
MUSICAL Comedy Written by Dan
Mccain Draws Large And Ap-
perciative Audience
MONEY FOR CATHOLIC CHURCH

Replete with keen humor and
snappy songs the musical comedy
entitled "a Summer Romance prov
ed one of the livliest and best staged
home talent plays ever produced in
Bemidji. Although the entire time
required in the production, was only
one hour and twenty minutes, the
audience continued in an uproar Of
laughter and applause after each
sketch and joke.
Led by two pretty actresses in
Maude Mccain as Vivian Hale and
Servia McKusick as Ethel Toliver the
sketch was kept full of life and snap,
their singing being especially sweet
and fitting to the occasion.
Richard Fenton and Al. Neuman as
"Bos'' were good. Their jokes and ac-
tions were entirly new and drew a
great deal of applause. Dan Mccain
and Wilbur Lycan proved them
selves stars and received their share
of appreciation from the audience.
Mrs. O'Malley of Chicago sang two
solos between the first and second
act and would have been forced to
sing several more in response to the
applause if the curtain had not in
terrupted and turned the crowds at
tention to the group of pretty girls
singing lively songs on the stage.
The proceeds amounted to s178.25
which will be turned over to
st. Phillips church.

Who Speaks At The Swedish Lutheran
Church Tonight
LENKER SPEAKS TONIGHT
Scandinavian In Graded And Country
-z Schools e. 51a.

Prof. J. N. Lenker, of Minneapolis
who speaks at the Swedish Confere-
ence this evening on "the language
and culture of the north of the old
world for the north of the new
world,' advocates a three language
education as in Europe, first place
to be given to English the national
tongue, second place to the family or
settlement language, regardless of
what it is, if enough pupils are found
to maintain class, and then let the
child chose the third language for
his future business or cultural devel-
opment. The language talent of the
pupil and the common simple univer-
sal laws of human speech can be de-
veloped better by the study of two
languages than by one. In Cincinnati
$4,000 pupils study German in the
eighth grades, in Indianapolis 1000,
Cleveland 10000, and in Milwaukee
10000 and it has been demonstrated
that a pupil taking as allowed by the
Minnesota law, one hour day in the
settlement language and five hours
in the national tongue will acquire
better marks and a Observation-Disclosures
through the eight grades than if all
six hours were devoted to one langu-
age only. .-~.,
The time to learn second Ian
guage says Prof Lenker is in early
life. The one thing the mother teach
es the child in it's first six years is
language, and it is not done by a
book through the eye, but by exer-
else of the ear, tongue, the organs. of
human speech, which should be bet
ter developed by the school, by con-
tinuing the work on the foundation
laid by the parents. "

CREAM CAN EXPL0DES
E. G. Stiles Receives Badly Swollen
Lip When Cover Flies Off Tues
day Afternoon.
WILL PROSECUTE SHIPPER

E. G. Stiles, buttermaker for the
Bemidji creamery was struck in the
face by a cover of a cream can Tues
day afternoon when can containing
cream shipped by E. l.. Waldron of
Cass Lake exploded. Mr.. Stiles tests
all of the cream coming into the Be-
midi creamery and has rejected ship
ments from Mr.. Waldron on previous
occasions and has cautioned him
several times about shipping poor
cream.
According to Mr.. Stiles it is illegal
to ship cream in that condition and
he will take immediate action
against the offender. He also stated
that the cream had not been taken
care of before shipped and that it
was kept in a warm place where ad-
ditional cream would be added each
day.
This is the first accident that has
happened in the Bemidji Creamery
since Mr.. Stiles has taken charge
but as the cans had not been opened
he was not aware Of any danger.

perience and are we'll educated upon

plain easy i processes Of pulling
stumps and clearing the land.

opement gathering and the commit

the Beltrami County Farmers and
any aid which they can render in
developing progress, which the farm
ers or rural clubs may wish to make
they appear willingsto offer.
~ Many believe that by exchanging
ideas the farmers will perfect a pro-
fitable way in which to rid their
land of stumps and the purpose Of
this meeting will be to induce the
farmers to explain any way in
which they may have to clear their
land with rapidity and at small
cost.

NEXT MOVE UP

Envoy Lind Is Awaiting Further
Observation-Disclosures More
Friendly
DENYING ALARM1ST REPORTS
Issues Official Statement That Nego-
tiations With U. S. Are Continu-
ing In Cordial Manner

Mexico City, Aug. 21.-Further ne.
EQUATIONS looking to peaceful settle.
ment of the Mexican situation, follow.
Ing Provisional President Huerta's re-.
lection of President Wilson's proposal
as submitted by his personal repre-
sentative, John Lind, would appear
now to depend upon Washington. II
the United States government is will
ing to reopen the controversy there is
every reason to believe that the Mex.
lean government would be willing.
An official statement from Frederic
Gamboa, the Mexican foreign minister.
says that the negotiations between Mr..
Lind and the Mexican government
have not entirely been broken off, but
that they "are being continued con.
tidentially." This statement was CIV
en- to representatives of the Mexican
newspapers for local publication. 1t
was the first news given to the local
press since Monday morning.
Mexico's reply to the United States,
while couched in diplomatic language,
was a definite rejec Ion Of President
Wilson's proposals as presented by
John Lind.
Unless the Washington government
sees fit to submit new propositions it
Is considered that the negotiations
here will be closed. What the Mex
lean government may do appears
largely a psychological problem.
Leaders Are Conservative.
The statement made by DR.. Urrutia,
minister of the interior. on Monday
night and subsequently denied, that
the United States had been given un-
til Tuesday night to recognize the
Huerta administration, is taken to in
dictate the attitude of at least q por-
ton Of the Mexican government. But
the conservative element appears to
have won the upper hand and is show
ing tendency to continue friendly re-
lations with Mr.. Lind.
Ex-Governor Lind is awaiting in.
structions from Washington. He still
is Optimistic and believes that the
Mexican government may yet elect
to entertain President Wilson's peace
proposals.
Regarding the character of notes ex-
changed between the two governments
Mexican officers refuse to enter into
any discussion.
The Mexican government sent to
each of the foreign legations in Mex
leo City a note in which it was stated
that the negotiations with ex-Gover-
nor Lind were continuing in cordial
manner and denying that Minister Ur-
ratio had made any statement which
might be regarded as an ultimatum
to the United States.
Personal relations between Presi-
dent Wilson's emissary and the men,
bers Of the government here are
friendly.
