court renders it's decision following
the arguments which are to be sub

COUNTRY VISITS TO BEGIN

COLONY IN FRUIT BUSINESS
DR.. Taylor On Return to His Old
Home in Grand Forks Tells of
Plums Grown at Lavinia.
ESTABLISH MODERN ARCADIA

That summer residents of Lake Be-
midi are beginning to take advan-
tage of Beltrami county's agricul-
tural opportunities, is evidenced in
an article published in this morn
ing's edition of the Grand Forks
Herald:
Members of the Grand Forks col
ony on the shores of Lake Bemidji
are not only enjoying life to the full,
butt they have established modern
Arcadia there, offering every induce
ment to those who enjoy gardening
and fruit growing.
Near Lavinia, several have set out
grape vines, plum trees, and many
varieties Of smaller fruits, such as
currants, raspberries and few
Strawberries. Samples of plums and
grapes grown on the lake shore place
of M. Chandler, were exhibited by DR..
Taylor yesterday, and many were
surprised at the size and perfection
of the fruit.
DR.. Taylor, one of the most en-
thusiastic of the colony members,
states that the potato crop as we'll
as that of roots, such as beets, car
rots and onions has been a bumper
one and the quality unexcelled.
Recently two carloads of carrots
from near Lavinia were shipped to a
Winnipeg dealer and the quality
was such as to bring hurried re-
peat order, once the roots had reach
ed the Canadian city and been exam
ined
The soil is sandy loan, many
thought barren and worthless, and
the bumper crops raised there were
at first as much Of a surprise to those
who tried the experiment as to others
who saw the results obtained.

TEAM PLAY MOST NEEDED.
Bringing Of Various Departments Of
State Government Together is Ef-
fort Of Efficiency Commission.
CONTROL BOARD HAS TROUBLES
(By j. S. Pardee.)

st. Paul, September 15.-(special
to the Pioneer. The board Of con-
troll is having many troubles. It
would be pleasant to think that that
could be prevented by the efficiency
commissions plan, but that is too
much to hope. The department that
takes care of ten thousand people
nearly all Of them somewhat
wrong or twisted-Wil1 always have
troubles.
The board of control uses it's best
judgment-the Judgment of three
good men. The department of pub
lie welfare, if the legislature so or
dains, will exercise the best judg-
ment of the ablest director who can
be. found and two capable assistants
There have been undoubtedly errors
of Judgment under the board of con-
troll; there will be undoubtedly er-
rors of judgment in the department
of public welfare. The board Of con-
troll has found it impossible to- en-
gage invariably angles and cherubim
for hospital assistants. The depart
ment of public welfare will find the
labor market no better supplied
with heavenly beings for disagree
able duties in subordinate and poorly
paid positions.
What we hope to gain will be that
advantage in executive conduct
which is found in a single executive
as compared with a triumvirate. We
may expect to gain better co-opera-
tion between departments. We ex-
pect that the state will be in all
parts so much better financed that
the needs of every part can be better
cared for than now. If it is true
that the employees of the board of.
control are insufficiently paid, that
fault should be overcome under the
budget system. Members of the
=.
could obtain better service in many
places if they could pay the subor-.
dinates better wages. And = not q
few of the troubles that have appear
ed in the institutions have been due
to the incompetency of the subor-
dinate help.
Obviously closer cooperation be-
tween the departments is possible
and could be beneficial Obviously
is more likely to be obtained under
the efficiency commissions plan
With all the good intent in the
world, the board of control has look
ed upon itself as something apart
from the administration. That IS
true of many of the departments and
when they are all brought together
in one administration better team
play will develop almost as a mat
ter of course. -~"r. .~.:.5

LOUuO1, O6pC. lO.-lUo uTSC SCdS0
of the battle of the Marne, which
from the numbers of fighting men en-
gagged, the long line of battle and the
terrific slaughter, is described as
"the battle of the ages" appears to
have been won by the Fernch and
British armies, but the main German
army still is intact. The supreme
clash is to come. The present week
may see even more desperate encoun-
ters than any which have taken place.
Metz, the capital OF Lorraine, and
the chain of forts thence to Dieden-
hoff, seventeen miles north on the
Moselle river, form a strong pivot
for the German left, while the river
courses and dense forests on the from
tier, with various strategic roads,
give the German army of invasion,
now in retreat, splendid opportunity
for defensive action, should the al
lies pursuit extend to the frontier.
In Paris it is officially announced
that the Germans still are retiring
everywhere and that they are aban-
doning all the positions which they
erected to cover a possible retreat.
Allies Forward Everywhere.
"Incontestible," is the adjective used
by General Joffre, commander-in-chief
of the French forces, in describing
the victory claimed by the allies along
the western battle front. The latest
official communication from Paris indi-
Gates the allies advance is continue
ing all along the line, with their left
wing now across the River Aisne.
Little news, and that of the vaguest
sort, filters through from Germany
regarding the operation in France and
Belgium, though it is evident from the
tone of Berlin official statements that
the people are being warned not to be
too optimistic, as certain reverses
may be expected.
The latest actual battle news in
Berlin describes sortie from Paris
on Sept 6, which, it is stated, has
been repulsed.
Military observers foresee all kinds
of perplexing possibilities in the event
of Germans regaining the positions
they held before they started the
rush of 100000 men on Paris, par
ticularly should they succeed in TAX
ing back any large portion of their
losses
Attack or Salvation Move.
