DOWN TOWN PARK
Enthusiasm For New Baseball Dia-
mond and Football Gridiron Being
Aroused-Want Winning Team
ATHLETIC CLUB INTERESTED

1t has become more evident year
after year that if Bemidji is to have
a winning baseball nine a down town
park must he provided, and If pre-
sent plans, which are being discus
sed by those most interested, are car
ried out the new field on which both
baseball and football may be played
will be a reality this spring. The
site now under consideration is the
land on Fourth street in the rear of
James Miller's residence. This ap-
pears to be the only vacant site in
the city that would serve the purpose
and if arrangements can he made to
lease this property an excellent park
will be established.
Members of the Bemidji Athletic
Club are now interested and a meet
ing will be called in the near future
to take action. That a park can he
Ibuiqt cheaply and would be profit.
able to the city as well as the club
is a certainty. Several business man
have promised to aid in the support
Of the proposition.
So far the only construction work
troubling is the filling and leveline
which means a heavy expense. Fen.
ces could be build by advertising
allowing the merchants to cover sec.
tons of the fence, built at their ex'
pense, with advertising.

Law FOR WOMEN
President Wilson Signs Measure
Which Marks First Occasion For
Eight-hour Day In East
TELLS OF OTHER CONDITIONS

From Congressman C. H. Tavenner.
Washington March 5.-When
President Wilson affixed his sigma
ture to a certain important law the
other day it marked the first occa-
sion that the >eight-hour day for wo-
men has been brought into the con-
sentative east. The States of Wash
ington and California adopted the
eight-hour day and six. day week for
women three years ago, and these
laws were followed by similar action
in Colorado, Utah and Arizona. But
in the east, which is conservative
and which turns only reluctantly to
remedial legislation for labor, most
states are having hard enough time
cutting the hours of women's labor
to 1Olhours. a day.
The. LaFollette law, which the
President has just signed, forbids the
employment in the District of Column
1bia of women for longer than eight
hours in any one day. It is a mea-
sure (which is calculated to jar the
conservatism of the east, and which,
it's hackers hope; will stimulate sim
liar legislation in all of the eastern
States.
No ooner had the law been signed
than certain employers who had
fought the legislation began to dis
charge women In their employ. They
did this to make good their predic-
tions that the law would have just
that effect. The Consumers League,
which had advocated the LaFollette
hill, however, had anticipated this
move and had notified women en-
ployes in certain establishments that
they might expect this action. They
assured the working women that this
state of mind on the part of their en-
ployers would be only temporary.
From past experience in California
and Washington it was realized that
the women discharged would be soon
hired back again. And as this is
being written that very thing is
happening. The few women who
lost their jobs are getting them back
again.
As a matter of fact, the short work
ing day means mor employment for
women instead of less. Employers
now divide their working forces into
two shifts-one to begin earlier in
the morning and to quite earlier al
night, the other to begin and quit
later: It takes employees te
work into the two-shift plan but the
employer finds out that each EN-.
ployee is more efficient than former.
ly due to the shorter working hours
so that his establishment turns OUT
more work per emloyee hired thar
under the old plan.
The city Of Washington surely
needed this law. An investigation
made before the adoption of the bill
showed women working in steam
laundries in the hot weather on al
average Of IL and 13 hours a day 70,
periods of two and three months. Tn
new law applies to practically al
women industrdally employed excep
those in private offices and domes
tic servants in private homes. Hote
servants r included in the lprovi
sions of the act, and also that othe
class of women employees 80 FIRE
quently exempted in States laws, de
partment store clerks. The la,
~prescribes a six-day week for women
and prohibits night work for minors
The best employers of Washingto,
did not oppose the legislation.

BEMIDn TO HAVE
UNIVERSITY WEEK
Commercial Club Again Votes To
Guarantee Fee of $3.50 For June
Series Of Programs
SUCCESSFUL HERE LAST YEAR
W. p. Dyer Placed as Chairman OF
Committee To Complete Arrange
ments-What the Work Is

so successful was university
Week" in Bemidji a year ago that
the Commercial club members have
again voted to guarantee the fee.
1926, being charged by the Extension
Department for the series which Is
to be given during the first part OF
June.
The same committee which so sue.
cessfully managed the "Week'' last
year will again have charge. This
committee comprises W. p. Dyer,
superintendent of the ,Bemidji
schools, E. H. Denu and F. A. Wilson.
There is still a small amount in
the treasury of the committee left at
ter all expenses had been paid last
year. Programs will be given each
afternoon and evening during the
week.
What The Week Is
The university Week. is a unique
form Of service by a university to it's
constituents. 1t is, in effect, a trav-
cling university. A six-day program
is conducted in each OF many towns
throughout the State. In June, 1918,
twenty-four towns were reached in
this manner. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that the university Week. has
many of the characteristics of what
is now known as the "chautauqua."
1t Is an effort to bring university in
~fluence and. university atmosphere
to a town for a week in each year.
Purpose of week"
The ultimate purpose is to stimu-
late the constructive forces of each
community and to produce perman-
ent effects. 1t is a sl~ngularly sue
cessful way of making the people of
Minnesota we'll acquainted with their
University. For six days there are
presented in epitome as many rs pos
sible Of the widespread activities Of,
the institution. This demonstrates
to citizens the scope and value of
their University, and brings members
of the University faculty in closer
touch with the people of the State,
who are their employers and sup
porters. The result is to cultivate
and stimulate community spirit and
enterprise on the one hand, and to
foster on the other hand in members
of the University faculty the spirit
of service to that great constituency,
which is removed, physically, from
the university campus, but whose
support and influence is necessary
for the future growth and strength
Of the institution.
Those who Take Part
Because the University Week is
intend ed to relate the University de-
finitely to the life of the community,
naturally most of the participants
are University people, members of.
the faculty, or of the student body.
The members of the faculty give
most of the lectures and demonstra-
tions, but from the student body the
Glee Club gives concerts, the debat-
ing societies furnish squads for
the discussion of current topics
and the dramatic clubs give
performances of complete plays.
But no hesitation is felt
in using all available resources Of the
State, ven though they he not d.
rectly under the control of the Uni
versity. Enthusiastic cooperation
has been received from various State
departments and affiliated institu-
lions.

To make one effective fighting

ent.
0psahl Gives Suggestion
J. J. Opsahl of this city was one
of the busiest men at the meeting
and urged the new organization
should ask the state to assist it in
booming Minnesota, and that legisla-
tion should he secured that would
make certain the cooperation Of the
state departments. Mr.. Opsahl sug-
gested it would be beneficial if the
land men were organized under state
control and along similar lines to
those Of the insurance companies,
where each land man would have
to comply with certain %rules+and re-
gulations to be under the states guar
antee.
Must Unite Says Mac
The conference OF officers of the
state development association will
determine, w. r. Mackenzie, secre-
tary Of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopmeM association said, in what
degree 1T will be possible to pull to-
gether. "The big idea back of this
meeting Of land men," he said, els to
get all the forces o being utilized
for the benefit Of Minnesota to unite
more closely, or cooperate more
closely. This I feel sure can be
DONE"
Reynolds Talks
III. E. Reynolds said there is only
M thing to do and that is to get
an organization that will be fore
Minnesota. ut seemed to us who
came down from Bemidji that there
is a great opportunity" he said.
"The land men have it in their power
if they can get together and work
collectively, to do much for Minneso-

USE CQRNSTALKS
FOR Fertilizer
Besides Nitrogen Humus Is Fur
nished to Improve Water
Holding Capacity of Soil.

Cornstalks are valuable as a fer
tilizer and should be left on the field
after cutting. The nitrogen which an
acre of stalks contains would cost at
least four dollars and a half If bought
in the form of commercial fertilizers,
says E. G. Schafer of the agronomy de-
partment at the Kansas Agricultural
college. When stalks are burned, as
is often the case, all nitrogen is lost.
Besides the nitrogen the stalks sup
ply the soil with humus, which inn
proves the water-holding capacity and
furnishes food for certain beneficial
bacteria.
Many persons believe that chinch
bugs winter on the cornstalks. Some
do go into winter quarters there, but
due to the poor protection which the
stalks afford very small per cent.
IL any, survive the winter. according
to George A. Dean of the entomology
department.
The stalks should be cut in early
spring with a stalk cutter or a disk.
II disk Is used, the field should be
disked both ways. This cuts the
stalks and at the same time leaves a.
good mulch, which prevents rapid
evaporation of the soil moisture.

IF ANY one thing demonstrates how
i forceful the appeal of the purely
decorative in apparel is, as compared
TO the simply useful, it is the increas-
ing demand for lingerie ribbons. Rib
bon ornaments for decorating under
muslins, and garments made wholly
or in part OF ribbon, have ceased to
be called novelties. they are regular
stock in trade.
The designer Of lingerie must give
fully as much time to it's decorative
features as to cut and materials, and
she has taken unto herself ribbons
that they may help out in the play
Of imagination which is expressed In
decoration rather than in design.
These ideas have captivated women
they allow them to indulge the femi-
nine love of luxury at small cost.
Three of the newest ribbon pieces
are pictured here. There is an adj
Unstable ornament made OF satin rib
bon an inch and half wide. It con-
sists of small bow with three hang
ing ends and one short end spring
ing from four short loops. Small
daisies made of baby ribbon, and mil
linery stamens. are set in the loop
and on two OF the ends.
Ornaments of this kind are provided
with little safety pins so that they
can be transferred from one garment
TO another, and they are made up in
any light color the wearer may fancy,
with yellow almost as popular as blue
and pink.

should be dated, and any other memo
randa as to the hen should be mark
ed on them, and the eggs then placed
in wooden boxes packed loosely in
wheat bran.
The eggs should be kept in a tenn
perature of between So and IS de-
grees, and must be turned partly over
every day. The eggs should always be
placed in the bran in slanting posi-
ton, with the little end down.
OF course eggs should be set as
early as possible. and never after they
are three weeks old. In fact If they
are set after they are two weeks old,
one is taking a risk.
If broken up, turkey hens will begin
to lay again in about two weeks, and
some breeders take advantage OF this
by having an incubator ready when
the hens begin to lay, to take care OF
any surplus eggs, as it is deemed bet
ter practice to use incubators for this.
purpose than. chicken hens.
If hens begin laying very early they
will often. particularly In warm eli
mates, produce two breeds during the
year. but late Matched turkeys seldom
do well, and late laying should not be
encouraged.
II the eggs are to be Matched under
turkey hens, each hen should be given
from 16 to Is eggs, according to size.
Never give a hen more than she can
thoroughly cover. If, after setting
down, it is observed that some Of the
eggs are peeping out around the
edges, the number should be re-
duced.
We have never known turkeys to
be raised successfully in an artificially
heated brooder. The young poults do
not seem to thrive well except when
under the mother hen. The turkey
hen searches for food for her young,
while the chicken hen must be fed.
The turkey hen, therefore. seems to-
take better care of her poults than a
chicken hen does, and generally sue
ceeds in bringing more of them
through the season than those that,
are started In brooders.
