will he at the Baptist church where
he will outline the plans for the
Congress- the first ever to be held
in the state of Minnesota, and assist
in the naming of the committees
which will have charge of the affair.
The First Congress.
While no congresses along this
order have ever been held in Minnie
sofa before, John Alexander, known
all over the United States as the
1Boys' Friend" appeared in Duluth
year ago at the Sunday school con-
vention and talked along the same
lines as he will when he is here next
month. At that time Mr.. Alexander
became very popular with the boys
Of Duluth and young men of Be-
midi are waiting anxiously for his
appearance here.
One Other City.
Mr.. Alexander will appear only in
two places in this state, Bemidji and
st. Paul. The Bemidji Congress
will cover the territory extending
from Crookston to Duluth and north
as far as the Canadian boundary.
The st. Paul Congress will cover the
remaining territory of the state.
Several hundred young men of the
state are expected to be present at
the Bemidji Congress, and much in
terest is being shown.
Much In Demand.
This will likely be Mr.. Alexander's
last appearance in Minnesota for
some time, as his services are in de-
mand in almost every state in the
Union. He gives his entire time to
the caring for the welfare Of the
boys, and is a member of almost ev-
cry association in the United States
which deals with young men.
The chief purose for the Congress
is to bring the boys in closer touch,
to make better men and to cause bet
ter feeling in general. The idea is
gaining in favor rapidly.

MINNESOTA EXCELS
IN AGRICULTU RE
State immigration Department Has
Statistics Showing Striking Ex-
hibit Of State Production
CLIMATE CONDITIONS BEST
Crops Records Show That Gopher
State Rarely Equaled- brief Cal
culation Shows Comparison

The state immi gration department
is circulating crop statistics for 1918
provided by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, which make
a striking exhibit of Minnesota's
prominence in agriculture produc-
ton.
Though other states may be plag-
ued by drouth and damaging climat-
nc extremes, Minnesota fares her
prosperous way, with moisture am
pie but never too great, with whole
some winter cold and crop fostering
summer warmth each in it's own
place and performing it's own work,
with fertile soil and steady climatic
conditions conspiring with human
industry and enterprise to produce
an annual certain abundance of
wealth from the willing earth.
Seldom Equaled
The statistics quoted by the immi-
grafton department show that in a
group of states, including Iowa, ILL
nois, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Indiana,
Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan, Min
nesota's average yield of corn, forty
bushels, was equaled only by Wis
consin and exceeded by none; that
its average yield of oats, thirty-eight
bushels, was equaled by no other
state in the group; that it's average
yield Of rye, nineteen bush els, was
equaled by no other state; that is
aTcr2ge yield of potatoes 10 bu-
shells, was reached by no other state;
that its average yield of hay, one
and half tons, was exceeded only
by the state of Wisconsin,, and
equaled by no other states; and that
it's yield of wheat, barley and hay
compared favorably with the best
yield Of these states. ~ $3.50 =
Brief Calculation
What these figures mean may he
demonstrated more clearly by a brief
calculation. -.,~. -.
A farmer In Illinois, tilling an
acre worth three hundred dollars,
got last year twenty-seven bushels
of corn, worth at seventy cents,
$500; or little over six per cent
gross on his investment.
A farmer in Minnesota tilling a
hundred-dollar acre, got forty bu-
shells Of corn worth twenty-eight
per cent on his investment.
Four Times As Much
In other words, the Minnesota
corn grower made more than four
times as much on his investment as
the Illinois cron-grower.
Add to these startling figures the
fact that in no state in the Union
are the opportunities to get good
land on reasonable terms so great as
they are in Minnesota, and then let
the news go forth to those who have
followed the glittering bauble OF
empty promises to distant fields, and
who are sadly turning back, riehez
experience and poorer in pocket.

Opinion Of Attorney General Smith
Says That No Saloons Here Will
Affect Neighboring Village.
MUST BE HALF MILE DISTANT
Is Part Of Law As Cited by State
Official In Commenting Upon Clio
quet and Scanlon Case.

s
On the seventeenth Of next month
the voters of Bemddji will he re-
quested to show choice as to whether
this city shall be listed among the
no-license places of the state.
In this connection an opinion of
Lyndon A.. Smith, attorney general
of the state, which is Of interest
here, has been cited. The attorney
general several months ago was
asked to quote the law in reference
to whether the village of Scanlon,
located less than half a mile from
the city. of C1oquet, should be per-
mitted to maintain saloons. Clo-
quet had just previously voted "dry."
The Generals Opinion.
Mr.. Smith in his opinion said:
'.The only conclusion that can be
reached consistently with the de-
cisions of this state, which decisions
are in line with the current of au-
thority is that no saloon can sell
Intoxicating liquors if it he within
one-haf mile, measured in a straight
line, from any point in the village of
Scanlon, to any point in Cloquet, be-
cause Cloquet has voted no license"
State Controls.
The attorney general takes the
stand that the state government has
the privilege of governing the liquor
traffic within the state.
Bemidii is therefore much inter-
ested in the opinion, for it would
mean that should BemidU vote no
license at the February election,
Nymore would necessarily he forced
to go dry. There are three sa-
looms in Nymore. L
The dry petition is practically
ready to file.
Governed Here Before.
The same principle was applied
in a iBeltrami county case several
months ago when an application was
made to the board of county COM
missionere for a license to operate a
saloon and hotel at place in the
county, directly opposite Roosevelt,
Roseau county. Roosevelt had pre-
viously voted no license. Graham M.
Torrance, county attorney, took the
matter up with, the attorney general,
who in his opinion said that the
half-mile law was in effect whether
the two places concerned were in
different counties.
Moved 800 Feet.
After the opinion Of the attorney
general had been filed, the Scanlon
officials granted the saloons permits
sion to change locations, and by
moving their establishments 500
feet the state law was enforced. The
fact that the limits of Bemidji ex-
tend to the Bemid1i mill and on the
entire east side Of Nymore, make it
rather doubtful whether Nymore
could evade the law in the manner
followed by Scanlon, should the
council of that city be agreeable.
